Chapter 21 Breaking out of the chaos
Levi met Bateman's gaze, revealing a determined light.
"The main team thinks they can easily suppress us. They are the chosen ones. They have a bright future and their careers are bright."
"But they forget that this is a competitive sport, and anything is possible. The outcome will always be a question mark before the end of the game; this is rugby, a sport that relies on the power of unity to determine the direction of the game."
"Yes, maybe their personal abilities are stronger than ours, but in terms of tactical understanding and study of opponents, we may not be inferior. This is the key to changing the game."
"Hey, Batman, since we have started, we have to go to the end. Maybe we can't enter the professional arena, maybe we have no chance at all, but this is our youth and our life, and the ending should be written by us."
"Choose to be immersed in sadness and bitterness and hesitate, or choose to burn without reservation and without regrets, the decision is in our hands."
"So, let's enjoy it."
Levi, extend your right hand.
Bateman's blood boiled involuntarily, and he almost gave up. He ran all the way and walked alone but could not see the goal or the direction. He even began to doubt the meaning of continuing to practice and fight in his senior year.
But now, he knows.
Perhaps, he just wanted to give himself an ending, put an end to his youth, bid farewell to football, and embark on a new challenge in life.
Therefore, the practice match is the stage where I can finally blossom without reservation.
Bateman looked at Levi, put his right hand on it, and smiled.
One hand, two hands, and in a blink of an eye, all eleven hands were stacked together, shouting in unison.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Fighting spirit, high spirits.
Then.
River pulled Bateman and lowered his voice, "They are all staring at me now. Almost everyone believes that we will 100% choose to start with a ground attack."
After all, they are the Crimson Tide Storm. Just now, the main team also started with Jacobs running the ball, but the effect was not good because they were too familiar with each other and had the same tactical manual, and the defensive team saw through it immediately.
Bateman was stunned, "What should we do?"
Levi laughed, "You are the quarterback, I should ask you this."
Bateman was a little embarrassed.
Levi patted his shoulder and said, "Fake the ball and run. You should believe in yourself. After kicking off, make a quick short pass to scare them, and then observe for yourself. If there is a chance, don't hesitate to take action directly; if No, don't panic, I will appear on the right side, just throw it to me."
The handover between the quarterback and the running back is not done hand-in-hand every time. Sometimes there is a slight throw at a distance. This is a basic skill that enriches offensive tactics.
After all, if the running back takes the football from the quarterback immediately every time, the defensive team's judgment and reaction will be much more straightforward. There is no need to worry about the wide receiver and they can just strangle the running back.
Bateman reacted immediately, "Fake shot."
Maybe Bateman is not a talented player, and the chance of turning professional is indeed slim, but his advantage is that he is practical and everything is average.
Bateman immediately completed the association, "Do you need to clear the place or create chaos?"
"Chaos. Since they have judged that we will choose to run the ball to start, we need to create chaos and win in chaos." Levi's eyes revealed a sharpness.
The offensive team has finished lining up.
Football is a turn-based game. At the end of each offense, there are forty seconds before the start of the next offense to rearrange tactics for the offensive team. Legendary quarterbacks like Peyton Manning often Read the defense about ten seconds before kick-off and then change tactics to catch your opponent off guard and gain further advantage.
Bateman is not Manning, and he is not prepared to temporarily modify tactics before kickoff, but he is very focused and has a panoramic view of the defensive team's position.
Sure enough, as Levi said, the entire defensive team pressed forward fiercely, clearly bullying Bateman into not daring to pass the ball, especially not dare to challenge long passes from deep areas, so they piled up in the frontcourt to create a numerical advantage.
call.
Bateman calmed down and focused on the game.
Same goes for Levi.
Levi is observing, having a panoramic view of the intricate positions of the defensive players, trying to find patterns in the chaos, discover key points, and then find the breaking route in the three-dimensional image in his mind——
It is not unfamiliar to Levi.
In the past three weeks, Levi has not been idle, constantly using the training system and entering the Adrian Peterson template to start training.
Now, it’s time for practical application. "attack!"
Bateman's voice was heard in his ears. Levi's extremely tight muscles were completely relaxed. He kicked off the ground suddenly and started sprinting. However, he did not move towards Bateman, but followed a diagonal line to the right. Move forward.
Target--
The gap between Humphrey and Allen's positions.
But at the same time, the entire offensive line also pushed against and pushed the defensive line to move laterally to the right. As a result, Levi could see the target range he was aiming for slowly shrinking, and defensive players flooding in like a flood.
However!
They didn't press.
Especially Foster.
Obviously, they were caught off guard by Bateman's tactic of raising his hands to prepare for a quick short pass. The steps he had just prepared to press on suddenly stopped. Not only the linebackers, but also the defensive front's attempts to apply pressure hit the wall.
That's just a short moment.
Half a second?
Maybe less than half a second.
As soon as Bateman turned around, he had no time to look carefully for the passing target. He took a quick look, and then turned to look at Levi's position.
Levi: Oops.
From the corner of his vision, he immediately caught the changes in Allen's eyes and movements.
Bateman's fake actions were too perfunctory and hasty, his turning movements were too fast, and the direction of his gaze revealed his intentions. Allen, who was concentrating on it, immediately caught the clues. Although he encountered some obstacles, his second reaction was very fast——
Levi.
Allen's murderous intention is firmly locked on Levi.
Levi was waiting for Bateman, his speed was not fully started, and he kept adjusting in small steps. Even though he noticed Allen, he had no time to change his tactics now.
One meal, one turn.
Levi stood in the middle of the right half of the court and looked at Bateman. Bateman threw the football over, and Levi took advantage of the situation and scooped the football into his arms.
One kick.
Power, activate, fully release the power of the calf muscles and push the ground with all your strength, and the instantaneous burst of energy pushes the body against the ground.
Ahead, looking at the shrinking gap, it was chaos and crowds.
But in Levi's sight, he could see a gap, a fleeting gap.
Start, accelerate, exert force——
On the left hand side, you can see a figure stumbling towards him with open arms.
It's Allen.
Levi is very calm and collected.
One step, forward.
One step, kicking off the ground.
Seeing Allen's figure dilate in his pupils, Levi had already used the power of his run-up to fly into the air.
One jump.
fly!
Allen was dumbfounded, seeing that Levi had entered his grappling range, but the next second Levi jumped out of the grappling crisis.
Damn it.
