Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 10 Battlefield Confrontation
Despise your opponent strategically and take him seriously tactically.

Levi's nerves were also completely tense.

At the beginning, Levi used a sudden stop and shake similar to the Marseille turn to shake off Allen, and took the initiative to break through Foster on the left, but this time Allen's secondary reaction was excellent. With his center of gravity unstable, he tripped Levi's calf with his arm, and Levi's center of gravity was immediately disturbed.

While stumbling, he was unable to shake off Foster in the first place. Although Levi reacted in time and changed direction immediately, he was still trapped in the pincer attack of Foster and Humphrey. This was what really annoyed Levi.

He saw a gap, braked suddenly and controlled his steps, trying to make Foster and Humphrey collide with each other, then he went around Humphrey's outside. Even though Jackson had stepped forward to intercept him, he still had a chance.

However, in this fleeting opportunity, he failed to control the emergency brake and was hugged tightly by Humphrey and Foster.

After being surrounded, Levi still tried to break free and rushed forward. Seeing that Humphrey and Foster were unstable and could not completely grab Levi who might break free at any time, Jackson, who rushed over on horseback, strangled Levi's last struggle, and Levi fell to the ground with regret.

Three big men are stacked here.

Levi still regrets——

Even this time, he still had a chance, almost, just a little bit.

However, we have to admit that the collisions, breakthroughs, offense and defense in rugby are indeed tough and explosive enough. The solid collisions of fists against flesh produce muffled sounds, and the confrontation of strength against strength makes the adrenaline burn completely.

interesting.

However, he didn't expect that when Levi stood up and turned around, he saw the whole audience looking at their chins. The silent scene seemed to have pressed the pause button, which made Levi stunned. Could it be that he entered the Flash state, because his speed was so fast that it seemed that everyone else was still?

Levi gave Burns an apologetic smile and said loudly, "Sorry, Coach, this wasn't a good performance."

Alan: Ahem.

I almost choked on my saliva, "Rookie, are you serious or are you just attacking me with trash talk?"

Levi couldn't help but smile, "If this is trash talk, your reaction would be..."

Too stupid?
Although Levi didn't say anything, Allen understood it immediately. He looked up at the sky and coughed twice in embarrassment, then looked down at Levi again, "If this is a bad performance, our defense team will all need to face the wall."

Although it was embarrassing, Allen still explained it seriously, and then Levi understood.

Burns just said that rugby is a round-based game, so how should rounds be defined?

very simple.

Each time they attack, the offensive team has four chances. As long as they can advance ten yards within four times, they will get a new fourth-gear offensive opportunity and continue to advance, repeating this process until they reach the touchdown position.

Correspondingly, the defending side needs to prevent the opponent from advancing ten yards in the fourth gear, end the opponent's ball possession, and complete the ball possession transfer.

If the fourth-down offense does not complete ten yards, it means the round is over and the ball is transferred on the spot, that is, the defending team will replace its own offensive team and start the offense from the same spot.

Because of this, in order to avoid the fourth-gear offense ending in vain and returning in a disadvantageous position, which would put the subsequent defense in a difficult position, the offensive side often only attacks on the third gear, and replaces the special teams with punts in the fourth gear, so as to push the starting point of the opponent's next wave of offense as far back as possible.

Of course, the attacking side can choose to play all four gears. If it fails, they can just exchange the ball on the spot.

However, there is a special case here.

After the third-down offense is over, if the offensive team is not far from the end zone, they can choose the special team to play, not to punt, but to choose a free kick. As long as the football flies through the goal at the end of the end zone, they can score.

These rules constitute the main body of rugby games, which are round-based offensive and defensive battles.

Although Allen's explanation was confusing and Humphrey and the others' comments didn't help, Levi still understood -

It seems complicated, but it is actually clear.

In fact, the football game can be switched to a round-based offense and defense confrontation. Football can switch offense and defense at any time, but rugby is limited to ten yards and four gears of opportunity. If the attacking side can complete it, they will continue to attack; otherwise, the defensive team successfully gets the ball in the first gear.

All other details are further improvements based on this framework, but they do not affect whether or not you can understand football. Levi suddenly realized, "It turns out that the fork at the end of the end zone is not just for show."

Humphrey and Foster and Jackson: ...

fork?

seriously?
Allen burst out laughing, "Yes, that's the goal."

"There are three ways to score in football."

"First, in the end zone, touchdown, six points"

“Second, get into free-kick range, shoot, three points.”

"Third, if the offensive team is tackled and knocked to the ground in their own end zone, not only will the ball be converted, but a safety will also be counted, which is two points."

"Oh, by the way, after each touchdown, there is an extra point opportunity, two options."

"If you choose to shoot, you can kick the ball on the 15-yard line in front of the end zone and then shoot the ball. If you succeed, you will get one point. If you choose to score a touchdown, you can kick the ball on the 2-yard line in front of the end zone and then score a touchdown. If you succeed, you will get two points."

This time, Allen's explanation was much clearer.

Levi suddenly realized, "So, rugby does require the use of feet... Wait, free kicks and shots should be done with feet, right?"

"Haha." Allen laughed happily, "Yes, and punting, kicking off, etc. are all done with feet."

I see. It looks like rugby can keep the word "foot" and there's no need to compete with handball for the name.

Humphrey looked at Alan and then at Levi, and the first one couldn't help but say, "Hey, so now you know why we were so surprised?"

Levi blinked, his face full of innocence.

Humphrey held his head and yelled, "Rookie, we only need to advance ten yards each time we attack, and the running backs' average advance is less than five yards, but you ended up running for 50 yards for touchdowns the first two times. On the third time, when we were going all out, you actually managed to get a first down!"

Levi raised his chin slightly, "First attack means a new round of fourth-gear offensive opportunity, right?"

Looking at Levi's curious and nonchalant expression, Humphrey looked up at the sky, a feeling of powerlessness came over him, and then he drooped his shoulders, "Yes."

This is the reason why everyone was surprised——

In the third time, Levi dodged and moved forward ten yards in a strong collision. Such a tough and fierce performance was definitely eye-catching.

Levi waved his hand modestly, "Occasionally, occasionally."

Foster had a sad expression on his face. "It better be. If this happens often, I think you will be a nightmare for the defensive line and linebackers."

Before he finished speaking, Foster saw Levi's eager expression and slapped his own mouth, "Sorry, you don't know what a defensive lineman and a linebacker are, right? I was stupid."

An awkward but polite smile.

Allen laughed again. "You keep your word. I really did dance three times in a row. Well done, rookie. Welcome to join the Crimson Tide."

As he said that, Allen raised his right fist, gave a flat push, and looked at Levi openly.

Be open to your own failures.
