Chapter 43 Ready to Move
It is true that Bateman’s passing accuracy is average, but don’t forget that Bateman can become the second quarterback of a traditional strong team like the Crimson Tide Storm, and his upper limit of ability may be lower. , but definitely not a straw bag.
Short passes often rely on cooperation. As long as the passing parabola is not too outrageous and the receiver and tight end do not make mistakes in their understanding of tactics, then the connection can be successful.
While the Crimson Tide's forward ground attack attracted a lot of firepower, Shaban arranged a series of short passing tactics to gradually penetrate the opponent's defensive position——
Tactics, are there any new ideas?
No. Shaban's passing offense has always been in order.
Tactics, does it work?
Yes.
That's enough.
Passing and running the ball alternately played, and Shaban's rich experience and maturity once again showed his edge. It took eight minutes and thirty-seven seconds, and finally completed the touchdown in the red zone facing a third-and-three-yard situation——
A fake run and a real pass.
Bateman pretended to hand the football to Levi, who drew the fire, but turned around and found tight end Hunter Keith.
Hunter Keith completed the ball with his back to the end zone. After controlling the football, he was tackled, but he took advantage of his body and pushed into the end zone.
Touchdown, got it!
After the extra point was accurately hit, "14:21".
The Crimson Tide Storm at home got closer to the score, with only one touchdown left, and Bryant-Denny Stadium exploded with amazing energy.
"roar!"
"roar!"
Although this is just a warm-up match, it has nothing to do with the outcome; but considering the history of the two teams, coupled with the collision of the United States Championship finals at the beginning of this year, everyone from the players to the fans burst out with incredible enthusiasm and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the game. Not inferior to official competition at all.
Tigers are no exception.
Oops.
With a sudden movement, Dexter Lawrence, one of the "Dark Faced Hells", stood up. Compared with players such as Watkins and Wilkins, Lawrence, who is still a high school student, is still young and passionate——
Always be ready to prove yourself and never miss an opportunity.
What's more, Lawrence and another high school student No. 99 Farrell still have intra-team competition. Seeing that Farrell failed to live up to the coach's expectations, Lawrence suddenly became excited and looked at the coach with burning eyes.
Are they just going to let it go?
That No. 23 is a mallet, that quarterback only knows short passes, and the Crimson Tide Storm's offensive tactics are the same as the third number. If Farrell can't stop him, you can replace him on the field and give it a try!
Watkins and Wilkins didn't stop Lawrence. In fact, they just wanted to see the coach's attitude——
They don't like red tide storms.
If they had to choose, they still liked the Crimson Tide Storm who were pushed to the ground and rubbed hard by them in the first half. Even though this was a warm-up match, neither Watkins nor Wilkins had forgotten the bitterness of losing the National Championship game at the beginning of the year. What about the perfect revenge that was promised to regain the situation?
Sweeney was also hesitant.
The warm-up match also has tactical significance. Should he really disrupt his plan just to win a warm-up match? Or should we continue to trust our players? After all, we can't just use one lineup for the new season?
Thoughts were spinning in my mind.
Sweeney turned around and saw Watson, who was still leaning on the back of the chair with his hands crossed. Although his face was stern and no longer as leisurely as before, he at least remained calm and did not panic due to the situation in front of him.
Sweeney also calmed down——
All because of the No. 23 running back, the finisher who emerged from nowhere, was not mentioned at all in their pre-game scouting report, thus disrupting the plan.
Damn it.
But they shouldn't get carried away, they still need to follow the plan.
then.
Sweeney ignored Lawrence's eyes and redefined his train of thought——
Anyway, the third quarter is coming to an end. Next is the Tigers' offensive opportunity. They should calm down and advance steadily through positional battles. On the one hand, they ensure the ball and on the other hand, they consume time. If they can score a touchdown in the end, then they still have the initiative to win. Here at Tiger.
Sweeney found his determination and waved his hand to signal the offensive team to come on.
Sure enough, in this attack, Sweeney's tactical layout became more detailed and richer, and he entered into a positional battle with the Crimson Tide Storm defensive team.
Seven minutes and 45 seconds.
This wave of offense lasted from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, with short passes and ball running taking center stage. The Tigers counterattacked with the Crimson Tide's offensive style. After gaining a foothold, they showed that they had been entangled with the Crimson Tide in last year's National Championship finals. The final clue.
Unfortunately, there was no touchdown.
The Crimson Tide Storm defensive team completed a crucial red zone defense and intercepted the opponent at the seven-yard line in front of the end zone, but the Tigers still steadily received a free kick.
The second half opened for the first time.
"24:14".
The score gap widened again, and most of the fourth quarter's game time had been consumed, pushing the Crimson Tide Storm into a difficult position.
Watson, settled down again, was talking and laughing with his teammates again.
Watkins and Wilkins also regained their composure, but only Lawrence was still eager to try and prove himself in such a game.
The balance of victory and defeat quietly tilted towards the Tigers. Although it was weak, the subtle changes in the situation did change the mood. When the Crimson Tide Storm offensive team came on the stage again, they could feel a tragic pressure falling on their shoulders.
Levi felt it too.
Even though it is not a formal competition, the excitement of victory or defeat fills the whole heart. Unlike cross-country running or mixed martial arts, a heavy burden of unity falls, making people tense and excited at the same time.
This is the first time.
The Crimson Tide Storm felt it, and so did the Tigers, and sparks burst out from the first attack——
roar!
Farrell was like a sumo wrestler coming on stage, moving his steps in a squatting state to appear in the middle, humiliating the Crimson Tide Storm's offensive team with such a celebration.
"Feel sorry."
Lester-Cotton, the right offensive tackle on the Crimson Tide's offensive line, extended his right hand toward Levi with an apology on his face.
Just now, Cotton didn't get stuck, and Farrell burst into his pocket. As soon as Levi took over the football from Bateman, he saw Farrell's tackle, and Levi had no time to start. Fell to the ground after being tackled.
Very embarrassed.
Cotton knew it was entirely his fault and he needed to take full responsibility.
Levi reached out and grabbed Cotton's right hand, used the strength to stand up, and patted Cotton on the shoulder, "Good performance. Don't make the same mistake next time."
A joke made Cotton touch his helmet.
Levi didn't mind. Although Cotton's failure to stay in position was an undue mistake, but more importantly, their offensive tactics were seen through by their opponents, and the Tigers' defensive team had the upper hand. This was fundamental.
What's more, in a rugby match, it's impossible not to encounter collisions.
With this impact just now, Levi could feel the bloody smell on the tip of his tongue——
A little bit exciting, a little bit exciting.
Crush is good and fun, but crushing without confrontation is too boring. The crushing and destruction after grabbing money and confrontation is really interesting.
Levi thought, it seems that No. 99 is ready.
