Chapter 36 Nobody
Todd-Blackledge, a former professional quarterback, went to Pennsylvania State University. He played for the Kansas Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers before and after he entered the professional field. He was not a successful quarterback in his career, but after retiring, he turned to the commentary field and achieved brilliant achievements.
He has served as a long-term commentator for ABC and CBS, and won a lot of love. In 2006, he signed a contract with ESPN and stayed there for a full ten years.
Today, Blake Ledger and Pash partnered to serve as commentators for this much-anticipated warm-up game, interpreting the game from the perspective of a professional quarterback.
"The situation is a little unexpected, but it can't be said to be completely unexpected."
"The Tigers' tactics today were very targeted. Thanks to Watson's outstanding performance, they firmly controlled the initiative and completely suppressed the Crimson Tide Storm."
"Of course, the Crimson Tide Storm still had chances in the second half, but the dilemma of the situation is obvious. Without Derrick Henry's dominant ground attack, the Crimson Tide Storm's weak offensive shortcomings may be amplified."
"In the second half, the Crimson Tide Storm will take the lead in attacking. Maybe we can see Shaban's adjustments."
In rugby games, you guess coins at the beginning of the game. If you guess correctly, the team can choose to attack first or choose the field. Most of the balls will choose the field, which means giving the right to attack to the opponent, because in this way, you can take the lead in attacking in the second half and seize the opportunity. The initiative to win or lose.
Today, the same is true.
The Crimson Tide Storm guessed the coin and they chose the field, so the Tigers took the lead in the first half and the Crimson Tide Storm took the lead in the second half.
Black Ledger carefully read the list of appearances, and then noticed a name——
Not because of unfamiliarity. In warm-up games, NCAA teams often invest a large number of unfamiliar players in four quarters. Even professional commentators cannot say that they know 100% of them. Strangeness is normal.
It's because of the sound combination of the name.
Levi?
Blake Ledger was a little unsure, "Is this a...Chinese player?"
In football games, from the NFL to the NCAA, Asian faces are still rare.
Pash looked at Black Ledger's expression and showed a satisfied smile, feeling as if a treasure he alone knew had been discovered——
On the one hand, there is some expectation that the treasure will finally shine.
On the one hand, I feel a little bit reluctant to give up. The treasure is no longer my secret.
In addition, Pash is also looking forward to it. After all, the warm-up match is just an intra-team match. He is very curious about how he can perform today on the 23rd.
"Yes, Chinese."
"And, let me tell you, he only practiced football for three weeks when he switched to rugby."
Black Ledger was stunned and blurted out, "Are you kidding me?"
For an Asian player, this is amazing enough.
A nobody, twice as scary.
A...complete newbie? Just three weeks of football practice?
As soon as he opened his mouth, Blackledger realized that his words might not be appropriate. He took a deep breath and reorganized his words, but in the end, there was only one sentence in his mind, "Are you kidding me?"
Pash:…
Looking at the astonished Black Ledger, Pash was not prepared to explain, but just shrugged lightly, "Maybe only Nick Shaban knows."
Blackledge paused, he could sense that there was something in Pash's words; and Pash was right, how could Shaban be stupid? But he was puzzled as to what exactly was going on, and he looked at the stadium with questions in his eyes——
The second half begins.
Levi, slightly disappointed.
Because the black-faced Yamas worth paying attention to on the defensive team are not there, just like the Crimson Tide Storm, the Tigers also completely switched a lineup.
In addition, the Tigers are now far ahead, Sweeney has obviously let go of his hands and feet, and there are a group of children with beautiful youthful pimples on the defensive team. They are probably the same as Jacobs and Hurts who have not graduated from high school. Originally, Levi was still thinking that he hoped to meet and play against the Black-faced Yama; but on second thought, if they could get consecutive first downs and even touchdowns, Sweeney would probably adjust his tactics.
Very good, let them stretch their muscles.
When Bateman turned his head to look over, he happened to see Levi flexing his muscles and licking his lips. The score of "0:21" did not seem to have any sense of oppression. This made Bateman calm down a little. He could always do it anyway. Trust Levi, right?
"Crack!"
Bateman clapped his hands and called all his offensive teammates over. This is the offensive lineup they will use to overturn the main team of the Crimson Tide Storm. Maybe they are still not the main team, but after this warm-up match, who knows?
In a few words, Bateman informed his teammates about the tactics arranged by the coach. However, at the end, he couldn't help but look at Levi. After receiving Levi's affirmative reply, Bateman looked away with peace of mind and calmed down a little.
The biggest difference between today and the intra-squad game is that the coaching staff will be responsible for arranging tactics, and with Levi on the court who can adapt to changes, Bateman is a little more confident.
The first attack, the Crimson Tide Storm is still the traditional Crimson Tide Storm, starting with a ground attack, which is why Bateman looked at Levi.
Now it seems that Levi is ready——
Indeed, it is.
Levi was very focused. The louder the cheers at Bryant-Denny Stadium became, the more focused he became. The more intense the tension and pressure in the audience became, the more focused he became. He could hear the sound of blood burning above his eardrums.
He is ready.
In the first half, Levi has been watching from the sidelines, but he is not just watching the game, but interpreting the opponent's defensive strategy and interpreting the reasons why his own offense hits the wall, just like watching a chess game. Being silent does not mean that his head is empty.
Now, it's time for actual combat exercises.
Clelin-Ferrell, wearing jersey No. 99, could hardly contain his excitement. The moment he had been waiting for and waiting for was finally coming——
College arena.
Although he only officially enrolled in September, Farrell is ready to prove himself. He has had a great high school career and believes in his talents and abilities.
The 101st-ranked three-star high school student in the country, in Farrell's view, is not enough to reflect his talent; the seventh-ranked defensive end high school student in the country also underestimated his ability.
But it doesn't matter, he will prove himself.
He, Farrell, will be a first-round pick in the NFL and the greatest defensive end of all time. At 6.4 feet (193 cm) and 265 pounds (120 kg), he will be the best defensive end in the league with J.J. -JJ Watt (JJ-Watt) is the goal. He believes that he can be comparable to Watt, or even stronger, and he will show his dominance on the court——
The Crimson Tide Storm will be his first stage to enter the professional league.
Sorry, quarterback No. 18 and running back No. 23, you are going to be sacrifices. He will use them as stepping stones to become the starting defensive end.
Farrell was a little excited.
Tread.
Tread.
Farrell was already prepared. He heard the kick-off sound of the No. 18 quarterback in his ears. He reacted quickly and rushed out like an arrow from the bow——
Apply pressure.
Apply pressure.
Put pressure on!
This is the core strategy of the Tigers' defense. This is how they dominated the game in the first half. Now Farrell must not only apply pressure, but also be better, rush forward at full speed, and then immediately discover the opponent's intention to run the ball.
Number 23, aim!
