Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 11 Sun Tzu’s Art of War
Frank, sincere and straightforward.

Without any whining or excuses, Allen showed the mind and attitude of a professional player and welcomed Levi to join the team with open arms.

Levi was a little surprised. Looking at Alan's upright expression, he also smiled and raised his fist to hit Alan's fist hard.

"I'm sorry, I asked you to dance ballet this time. Why don't you try tango next time?"

That confident smile made Humphrey, Foster and others shudder. Why did they feel like they were seeing a devil when they saw Levi's smile?
Jackson looked up at the sky silently, secretly thanking his luck that his position was in the backfield and he had few opportunities to face off against the running back.

Allen's ambition was immediately aroused. He changed his fist into a palm, held Levi's right hand, and pulled it. The two of them bumped their right shoulders hard, and then laughed heartily, "Then let's give it a try. You are welcome anytime."

After saying that, Allen turned and looked at the other three teammates.

"Jackson, stop looking at the sky. It's useless to look at the sky when you are embarrassed in public."

"Now that the rookie has issued a challenge, we have nothing to say. The defensive team's performance just now was really bad. We need to practice more in today's training."

"The coach just said to run laps, so let's run laps. How about we start with thirty laps?"

Ah!
Ugh!
Help!

Amid the wailing, Alan did not give them time to protest. He turned around and took the lead in running. The other three followed dejectedly behind him, like a string of tails, and actually started running in circles.

And, more than that.

Allen led the three tails past the court and shouted vigorously, "All defense team, follow up."

Then, with a whoosh of a second, a large group of players appeared behind Allen, and one by one, they obediently joined the running circle.

Levi looked at the scene in front of him with curiosity. While waiting for them to reach Levi's position, shouts of "Thank you, rookie" and teasing came one after another.

Levi waved and greeted with a big smile, just like a royal family standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace waving to the pilgrims.

what!
A burst of laughter broke out in the team.

Then, Levi turned and walked to the sidelines. From a distance, he could see Burns coming towards him with a smile on his face. He patted Levi on the shoulder with relief.

"Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work."

"It was an excellent performance. Not knowing rugby is good, it's great not knowing rugby. It means there are no stereotypes or fixed templates, so you can use your imagination."

As he spoke, he came to the sidelines and stood in front of Shaban. Burns didn't say anything, but just crossed his hands in front of him, stood beside Levi like a bodyguard, and looked at Shaban.

Although he didn't say anything, Burns' attitude was clear. He did not stand by Shaban, but chose to stand on the same side with Levi.

Shaban is familiar with his old friend and they are easy to talk to each other normally, but when it comes to discussing football, Burns becomes particularly paranoid and professional.

Shaban looked at Burns. "There's no need to make such a gesture. Even if I don't believe in my own judgment, do I still not believe in you? I'll call the principal. We need to complete the admission procedures as soon as possible before the big list is submitted. But the key now is what the person involved thinks."

"Levi, right?"

"Would you like to join the red tide storm?"

Levi could sense Shaban's seriousness, so he also raised his head and chest and looked into Shaban's eyes, "I'm ready to accept the challenge."

Despite his outstanding performance, he remained calm and composed. Shaban liked Levi's choice of words, "accept the challenge", which showed Levi's intelligence. Shaban's expectations started to stir again. Perhaps it would be okay to raise his expectations a little more. "Welcome to join the Red Tide Storm."

Burns showed a satisfied smile, "Come on, Levi, follow me, I will help you complete the joining procedures, there is not much time left before the registration deadline."

Levi followed Burns off the field, while Shaban remained where he was and continued team training. The new season was about to begin. Although they were still a strong team, they could not take it lightly if they wanted to achieve good results. The spring training camp was the final preparation before the summer vacation.

The NCAA is different from the NFL. Although the new season starts in September, the NFL is a professional event and the offseason training camps are divided into two sessions, one in May and one in July. The preseason starts in August and everything revolves around the regular season. This is not the case with the NCAA.

NCAA, the American college league, includes basketball, rugby, tennis, gymnastics, etc. It has a complete league system, which serves as a stepping stone to continuously supply countless talents to the professional league. At the same time, the importance universities attach to the league also makes them willing to provide special scholarships to help students train.

The difference between the NCAA and professional leagues is that they believe that not all players can transfer to the professional field, and they need to ensure the future of these student players.

Students first, players later.

This also distinguishes them from professional players.

In this way, even if you are unable to enter the professional league after graduation, you can still obtain a diploma.

Therefore, the NCAA has minimum credit requirements for all players, and those who fail to meet the requirements will be directly suspended; at the same time, there are strict regulations on training time.

Summer is the summer vacation and universities cannot organize training. Spring training camp is the last chance for these student players to seize the time and improve their competitiveness.

In Burns' view -

Just right.

There is still some time before the new season in September, so Levi can practice his basic skills and learn the basic knowledge, and most importantly, learn tactics.

"...You must know more about 'The Art of War' than I do, right?"

"In fact, football is just like war. We need to apply the 'Art of War' to fight. In the NFL, there are more than 20,000 offensive and defensive tactics. Of course, in college, the tactics are not so exaggerated. It's not that we can't do it, but our training time is limited. Players don't have that much time to learn tactics, so ours are relatively simple."

"Nevertheless, you still need to learn tactics. Learn offensive tactics, which is to understand your job; you also need to learn defensive tactics so that you can see through the opponent's strategy."

"We need time, a lot of time, but I believe you can do it. Maybe you still have some advantages. After all, you are so smart."

As he spoke, Burns realized that he seemed to have said too much accidentally.

He looked up at Levi and said, "Why don't we go through the formalities of joining the team first and talk about other things later?"

Levi could read Burns's embarrassed and anxious expression at a glance, and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay."

Burns let out a long breath. He was really worried that if he scared Levi away, the new season in September might really be a disaster.

Burns kept his mouth shut and watched Levi fill out the application form. Only after it was completed and finally confirmed in black and white did he breathe a sigh of relief and smile.

"By the way, you need to choose a jersey number. You can pick any number you like. The team will try its best to satisfy your wishes. Do you have a favorite number?"

"No. 99." Levi has never chosen a jersey number that belongs to him. Now that he has chosen it, he must choose a unique one.

Burns gave an awkward smile, "Uh, that won't work."
