Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 150 Two-Point Conversion
Shaban is certainly not crazy.

To be precise, Shaban knew exactly what he was doing, and it was the result of careful calculation and deliberation.

Overtime was not favorable to the Crimson Tide.

Everyone knows that the Golden Goal and Sudden Death system in football matches is extremely cruel and unreasonable, sparking much controversy and was officially cancelled in 2004. In fact, the overtime system in rugby is even more cruel.

In a rugby match, if the two teams are tied in regulation, they go into overtime, with each half lasting fifteen minutes.

In overtime, if one team scores a touchdown first, they win the game directly, just like the sudden death system in football. If one team scores a free kick first, the other team can still win an offensive opportunity. There are three possibilities:

First, they scored a touchdown, so it was a direct win, a sudden death system.

Second, they get a free kick, so the game is tied, and the other team’s attacking group continues to come on the field, and the cycle begins again.

Third, if they didn’t score, they would lose directly.

From this we can see that the side that attacks first in overtime has a huge advantage and they will firmly grasp the initiative. However, the choice of attacking right in overtime depends on... tossing a coin.

That is to say, once the game enters overtime, luck will play a key role.

For coaches, overtime often means that the situation is out of control.

The above is the NFL overtime system, while the NCAA overtime system is slightly different and closer to a penalty shootout in football.

The offensive groups of both teams take turns to launch attacks in the opponent's red zone. Both sides have the opportunity to play. If a round is decided, it will determine the outcome of the game. For example, if one side scores a touchdown and the other side takes a free kick, the side that scores the touchdown wins; but if the two sides are tied, the round will continue.

Starting from the third round, free kicks will not count, either a touchdown or no score, so this set of rules also avoids a final draw result.

In the last week of the regular season in the 2018 season, Louisiana State University and Texas A&M University fought a protracted battle that will go down in history. The two sides played seven overtimes. In the end, Texas A&M defeated Louisiana State at home with a score of "74:72".

Heartbroken!

Unbelievable!
Although the luck factor is slightly weaker in the NCAA overtime rules, the physical exertion is more intense and the offensive team has a lower tolerance for error.

But the current red tide storm really can't afford it.

Shaban knew that if the game went into overtime, the Crimson Tide might fall into a vicious cycle; and if Watson got another chance to play, the balance of victory might tilt slightly towards the Clemson Tigers.

Overtime is a risk, and so is the two-point conversion; however, in Shaban's view, the two-point conversion can keep the initiative in his hands and keep Watson sitting on the bench.

To be precise, it should be standing on the sidelines and watching.

It was not difficult for Shaban to calculate the pros and cons this time.

Success or failure depends on this.

then.

Shaban showed his heroic spirit and decisively signaled the referee to make a two-point conversion.

The whole place was in an uproar.

So, what’s next?

"Stay, stay!"

Shaban made a series of gestures to Clark who was about to leave.

Clark turned back in a daze and rejoined his teammates.

Now, Clark is on the field, Levi and Hurts are also on the field, plus the tight end Howard, the Red Tide Storm has four heavy weapons in the short pass area, each of which has the ability to break through the head-on confrontation, which also puts the Clemson Tigers in a dilemma.

Levi? Hurts? Clark? Howard?
Or just pass the ball?

The Clemson Tigers' defensive players quickly shifted their gazes to the Crimson Tide players, and the first figure that came to their minds was:

Levi.

In this game, Levi advanced 221 yards on the ground and scored two touchdowns. He has broken Derrick Henry's season record for running yards and tied the number of touchdowns. He is undoubtedly the strongest point of the Red Tide. However, Levi is tired. His speed, strength and confrontational power have all declined. After all, this is only his first football season, and the intensity and strength of confrontation have put him to a severe test. Moreover, Levi broke Derrick Henry's record, so he should have run out of energy in this game.

Is Shaban really willing to hand over such an important attack to Levi, a rookie who is exhausted?
So, is it Clark, the surprise player who just performed a miracle for the second time in a row? Or is it Hurts, the quarterback who stepped up and played the savior at the critical moment?
Thousands of thoughts.

Sweeney's palms felt warm, but were soon soaked with sweat. He did not expect Clark to hold the ball for a touchdown, nor did he expect Shaban to choose a two-point conversion. Could it be that Shaban would be so desperate as to choose a passing attack?

Damn!

"Beep!"

Sweeney used a timeout.

A rare scene appeared. Originally, the team was chasing the Crimson Tide, but now it was the Clemson Tigers' turn to feel the oppression.

Sweeney knew this would expose his nervousness, but he couldn't care less now. They had to use the timeout to rearrange their defensive tactics this time.

Anyway, there is no need to pause now, and there will be no need to do so later.

On the court, Clark and Hurts tried their best to control themselves but still couldn't suppress the slight trembling of their fingertips. The pressure of the suspense of the victory or defeat was concentrated at this moment and their knees couldn't help but become weak.

But Levi didn't.

Levi's face was calm and his eyes were determined. He knew they could win.

It's not belief, but knowing, as if one has already foreseen the ending sixty seconds later, all spirit and will are concentrated at this moment.

Pause, it's over, it seemed like it was over after just two breaths.

The players from the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Clemson Tigers lined up again, gathering tightly together on the two-yard line in front of the end zone. The wind was howling throughout the field, and the rolling heat waves were pouring down like a rainstorm, but the magical thing was that the air seemed to be frozen.

The red tide storm, the formation remains the same——

Hertz stood behind the center, Clark stood behind Hertz, and Levi stood behind Clark. The four figures overlapped, so that the defense team could not see Levi at all, and naturally had no way to make any judgment in advance.

Tension, oppression, excitement.

Not only the Crimson Tide, but the Clemson Tigers on the opposite side were also extremely tense. The whole stadium was filled with smoke and a little spark could set the entire stadium off.

Perhaps, Levi is the only exception.

He had no thoughts, his heart was as calm as still water, his eyes calmly staring at the defensive formation in front of him. Then, the sound of the wind brought the slightly trembling shout of Hertz.

"attack!"

The outcome is uncertain, and lives hang by a thread.

A figure swayed, and Clark moved to the right.

Another figure moved, and Hertz moved to the left.

Levi walked in a straight line. None of the three of them sped up and took small steps to adjust. In front of him, he could see the Clemson Tigers defense pressing forward regardless.

Raid?

No, at least not really, but there is pressure, no doubt about it.

The Clemson Tigers decided to take the initiative, and the defensive front line released a powerful energy, suppressing the space at the line of scrimmage like a dark cloud.

At this moment, the football started to move.

Handover.

Hurts handed the football to Levi.
