Chapter 234 A veritable terminator (12)

In the third quarter, with seven and a half minutes left in the game, it was a second scoring play from the 36-yard line.

Amid the cheers of nearly [-] spectators at the scene, Ethan "wrapped" a rugby with one arm. The characteristic is that he pressed the protruding end of the rugby with his fingertips, and the other end of the rugby pressed against his arm. This is the standard for rugby players. Ball posture.

His right arm holds the ball, and his left arm acts as Ethan's shield. Facing the forward blocking him, Ethan subconsciously raises his hand to first block, then push, and finally flick. The tall man The end player stumbled directly.Ethan took a step forward, and through this precious gap, Ethan broke through the first line of defense.

Next came the double-teaming of the two linebackers. One of them rushed forward and the other behind, trying to keep Ethan where he was. Ethan's response was to brake suddenly and quickly change direction. At this time, The trailing linebacker took a step closer, but met Ethan's shoulder, and was knocked away by Ethan.

The entire front line has been pulled by Ethan's actions. All defensive players gave up their opponents and attacked Ethan. In a very short period of time, Ethan made a judgment and chose to run from the outside to the sideline. , and finally, before the blockade of other defensive players arrived, he relied on his absolute speed to take a step ahead and rushed into the formation.

"Touchdown! Ethan O'Connor has now scored his third running touchdown. Can he tie the school record of four running touchdowns in a single game just set this year? Let's wait and see." John Mai Den thought of the record Ethan had just set not long ago.

"No matter what, I want to say something for the viewers in front of the TV... We will witness history again." Another commentator, Pat, also said.

With this conversion and touchdown, Nebraska's original one-point lead turned into a six-point deficit.

This made Scott more and more anxious. In the subsequent offense, Nebraska followed the same pattern. Lawrence suddenly increased his speed. This time, the Alabama defensive end did not even react. When he came to his senses, , Lawrence had passed him.Alabama's entire defense was suddenly pulled. When everyone focused on Lawrence, Lawrence decisively chose to pass back and Scott regained the ball.

At this time, there were no defensive players around him, and the limited two players were blocked by other offensive players.

"The simple but extremely effective offensive screen play, which is Nebraska's signature style under Tom Osborne, everyone has been attracted to it, which gives Scott a lot of space to run the ball...etc. Wait! We see Ethan O’Connor is still lagging behind, he’s not moving with the others!”

At this time, Scott also discovered Ethan standing at the back end. Although he was wary, he couldn't care about anything else at this time. He accelerated and ran wildly to try to distance himself from Ethan.

However, Ethan would not let him get what he wanted. Facing Scott, who was not good at speed, Ethan's speed advantage was once again reflected.

"Ethan O'Connor completed the tackle! He dragged Scott down with only one arm. The expected large number of yards did not appear. This time Nebraska only gained 17 yards. Although they got a new offensive opportunity, as long as Ethan is still on the field, it is impossible for Nebraska to get long yards." John Madden then tried to analyze.

"Just now Lawrence has opened a gap with his personal ability, but he did not choose to rush forward, but passed the ball back. This behavior is called rare. Obviously Nebraska is also taking a gamble, and they choose to be more aggressive. The tactic was designed to get big yards, but was targeted by Ethan. It seems like Nebraska made the wrong bet this time." John Madden then pointed out the reason for the failure of Nebraska's tactic.

"Yes, Ethan's personal thinking is very clear. He always stands behind. No matter how Alabama's defense is broken, he only intercepts the last runner. Obviously, he feels that he can let Nebraska go The short-yardage run was added, but Nebraska will never allow the long-yardage run..." Pat pointed out the key point.

Ethan's defensive idea was learned from his previous opponent, the University of Florida. When faced with Alabama's reliance on running ball tactics, Florida deliberately reduced the number of defenses in the middle in order to lock down Alabama's detours. route.

In the last game, Alabama's running tactics were indeed curbed. Obviously this idea is correct.

Ethan's choice to delay is similar to Florida's original defensive tactical arrangement. Although it cannot completely suppress Nebraska's offense, it will also slow down Nebraska's offensive efficiency.

On the other hand, Alabama has not been contained, and its offensive efficiency will not be slowed down.

Even if Alabama cannot seize every opportunity, as long as there are no fatal mistakes, the score will still be widened.

The so-called victory does not mean that the opponent cannot score a point, but that one's own score is higher than the opponent's.

Unless Nebraska chooses to change lineups, Alabama's probability of winning is... 100 percent.

Just as Eason speculated, Nebraska's continuous running offense, although occasionally achieving good results, was completely suppressed by Eason in terms of long-yard running.

Although Nebraska also scored a running touchdown in the third quarter, Alabama had two touchdowns, one by Ethan's running touchdown and one by Ethan's pass. touchdown.

By the end of the third quarter, Alabama's lead had expanded.

"I'm afraid that in the fourth quarter, Tom Osborne will let Nebraska choose to change the formation." During the gap between the third and fourth quarters, Ethan stood on the sidelines and looked at the Nebras gathered on the opposite side. Among all the people in Sri Lanka, Ethan noticed that Tom Osborne's expression didn't look good.

He probably didn't expect that Nebraska's strongest running game would lose its effectiveness here in Alabama.

And the bottom line is...Ethan saw Tom Osborne looking at him across the entire court.

The reason is obviously because of Ethan. He is like an "apple" rushing into the chessboard, breaking the original tactical framework and bringing great resistance to Nebraska with his personal ability.

As the fourth quarter resumed, Nebraska's lineup indeed changed again, returning to the offensive lineup at the beginning of the game and replacing it with a wide receiver.Quarterback Scott also tried more passes. Although this tactical change had a certain effect, it had little impact on the outcome of the game.

First, the score between the two sides is already 13 points, which is the difference between the two ball possessions.

Secondly, the Alabama defense is more comfortable facing conventional tactics.If we really talk about the most prominent positions in Alabama's defense, they are actually the two corner positions.This also allows the Alabama defense to cope with traditional passing tactics with ease.

In addition, there is another key point that must be mentioned, that is, the physical reserves of the Nebraska players are naturally worse than those of the Alabama players.

Nebraska had played in a bowl game just days before, which resulted in a tremendous amount of physical exertion for the players.

On the other hand, Alabama's last game was in early December, and a full month has passed since then. They have plenty of time to rest and recuperate.

This physical advantage was not outstanding in the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter several Nebraska players made mistakes due to a serious decline in physical strength.

As for Ethan, he was in sharp contrast to the University of Nebraska players on the court.

"It's Ethan again! He chose to break through with the ball alone. He decided to challenge the record he set. He did it. He rushed into the zone with the ball for the fifth time in this game! We can see that at the end At that moment, although three Nebraska defenders were aware of Ethan’s route, they were distanced by Ethan due to his declining physical strength.”

"This is Ethan O'Connor. He seems to have endless physical strength. As a Terminator football robot, his energy reserves obviously come from nuclear energy technology, which is completely different from humans who need to supplement protein and electrolytes." John Madden opened It was a joke.

Only by using this metaphor can the specialness of Ethan be clearly conveyed to the audience.

"Perfect body, excellent control ability, plus endless physical fitness, and finally paired with a steely cold will. This is Ethan, this is Ethan O'Connor, a veritable terminator!"

As Eason once again refreshed Alabama's school history record under the gaze of tens of millions of viewers, the outcome of this game immediately lost its suspense.

As the full-time whistle ended, Ethan raised his arms and shouted.

"I have to see him in person and talk to him face to face." When the players on the scene began to celebrate in the middle of the field, John Maddon whispered to his colleagues around him.

The Independence Bowl Stadium now became Ethan's territory. Under the attention of tens of thousands of spectators and in the recording of the live broadcast signal, Grace held the Independence Bowl trophy high and handed it to Ethan with both hands.

During the awarding process, Grace even took the initiative to come over. At first, the audience thought it was a kiss on the cheek, but the next second they saw the person in charge of the event organizing committee taking the initiative to kiss Ethan on the cheek.

As for Ethan's reaction, he wasn't too surprised.

Many viewers can see that Ethan and Grace have a close relationship.

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, a luxury independent building.

"What's going on?!" Lisa, who was holding the baby in her arms, was smiling. She watched Ethan being crowned the bowl game champion and felt happy for him from the bottom of her heart. When she saw Grace's expression when she looked at Ethan, she said, That gratifying smile, the subconsciously drawn corners of the mouth, the drawn eyes...

As a woman, she naturally knows what this expression means, which means full of love!
And a few seconds later, watching her kiss Ethan in front of the camera made Lisa feel like she was in danger, and she immediately handed the baby in her arms to the servant beside her.

"You want to demonstrate? Then I'll have fun with you!" Lisa said slowly with a playful smile, looking at Grace on the TV.

She wants Grace to know who is the boss!

Lisa called her secretary, Susan.

"Get me a ticket to Shreveport!"

"I haven't visited Ethan for such a long time, so naturally I want to give him a surprise as soon as possible. I'm not going to cause trouble... I'm looking for him for business!" Lisa put down the phone.
