Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 24 First Touchdown
Touchdown!

Touchdown!

Touchdown!

The whole stadium was in a frenzy, and before they were mentally prepared, the touchdown came, from the substitute team, and in such a way, but it was a familiar formula for the Crimson Tide, and the surprise caught them off guard.

The whole place was boiling.

Levi stood there, a smile creeping up the corners of his mouth. So this was the feeling of a touchdown, so sudden and so exciting, he thought he might get addicted.

How about a few more?
"Levi, ahhhhh!"

“Touchdown!”

One by one, the members of the substitute team's offensive team who had just been walking side by side with Levi to help with screens swarmed over and surrounded Levi.

Even Bateman is no exception.

Originally, the quarterback could just stand in the pocket and watch the melee in front of him, but he couldn't contain his excitement and rushed over along with the offensive line.

Levi looked at Bateman's face, which was so happy that he couldn't speak, and bumped his shoulder hard, "How about it, are you ready now?"

Bateman touched his helmet and chuckled. "I'm ready."

On the sidelines of the court, Burns couldn't help but raised his arms and cheered, then clenched his fists and shouted, "Good job, good job, good job," celebrating passionately.

Burns turned around and saw Shaban, who was smiling but a little helpless. "Burton, is this really okay? The children are watching."

Burns curled his lips. "It's good for excitement. The Red Team's offense didn't work, so they need to learn the spirit of the White Team."

Shaban took a deep look at the court. Levi and Allen exchanged glances. Although there was no special movement, the tension of the strong collision was already spreading. "Tell me, who arranged the White Team's attack just now?"

"Bateman, who else could it be?" Burns asked as a matter of course.

Shaban smiled mysteriously and shook his head slightly, "I think you might have really unearthed a treasure. I am also beginning to look forward to it."

There is no doubt about Levi's talent. His explosiveness and change of direction ability are excellent, which gives him the basic foundation to become an excellent running back. However, judging from the training camp during this period, Levi's observation and judgment are the talents that determine his ceiling.

Although Levi is still learning and his understanding of tactics is still a little immature, his observation and judgment of the overall layout are very accurate.

In the previous attack and defense, the Red Team's tactic of focusing on ground defense was obviously seen through by the White Team. Not only did the White Team not retreat, but they used a fake pass and run tactic, and used the chaos created by the offensive front line to disrupt the arrangement of the opposing defensive team, and finally relied on Levi's personal ability to break through.

Even if Levi didn't play well, the first attack of this offense would be easily scored; and the fact is that Levi was obviously very active and proactive, and the first attack turned into a 75-yard running touchdown.

This practice match is quite interesting.

However, the game has just begun——

A rugby game is divided into four quarters, each lasting fifteen minutes. There are three timeouts in each half, each lasting twenty-five seconds.

Although time management in football is not as crazy as in basketball, the last second of the game may produce countless possibilities; but the difference is not much, how to use timeouts, how to use the stop-clock tactics that are legal within the rules to manage time, the last three or five seconds may also overturn the game, this is the moment that tests the coach's on-the-spot response and crisis management.

Today's practice match also lasted the entire game.

In Shaban's opinion, the white team took the initiative and caught the red team off guard; but the red team was also well prepared, especially the defense team led by Allen, who was sharpening their knives and working together. If the white team only relied on Levi, the effect of the surprise attack would be quickly discovered. It can be done once or twice, but not three times. In the final analysis, rugby is still a team sport, and it takes the whole team to win.

Sure enough, Shaban was experienced and could see the underlying context of the game at a glance.

Both sides are in a stalemate——

"0:7".

Until the middle of the fourth quarter, the only score was still Levi's amazing long-distance run at the beginning of the game, which scored six touchdowns and an additional point, giving the white team, which was a substitute, the first point, and then both sides fell into a quagmire.

The white team's defense performed well, very, very well. The morale of the substitute players was boosted by Levi's long drive at the beginning of the game, and their condition was pushed to 120%, so that the red team's offense suffered repeated setbacks. Hurts' performance was still panic under pressure, after all, he was too immature.

It is hard to imagine that the Red Team has only pushed past the half court once so far, and even the first attack was only a pitiful four times, and the firepower on the offensive end was completely suppressed.

In turn, the Red Team's defense also demonstrated the fine tradition of the Crimson Tide, exerting full pressure on the defensive end, causing the White Team's offense to encounter numerous difficulties.

Levi's performance was still outstanding, but it was difficult to rely on Levi alone. In the final analysis, quarterback Bateman's lack of passing accuracy at critical moments became a fatal flaw. The pass could not open up the situation. He only relied on ground offense to confront the opponent again and again, and the result was just hitting the wall again and again.

Because the opponents know that Bateman's passing attack will never open up the situation, they will most likely choose ground attack. The strategy of the defensive team is much simpler, and they only need to pile up people in the short pass area and the front line.

The human wave tactic is a deadly advantage in rugby games.

Hurts was mediocre in pressure situations, and Bateman was even worse.

Levi...relying on one person's shoulders to carry the entire team's attack, he can't go far after all. No matter what, the opponent is the main team, and the main force is still the main force, and their absolute strength still suppresses the substitutes.

However, even so, Levi still shines in this game. So far, he has advanced 200 yards on the ground, and after deducting the 75 yards of the first long-distance rush, he still easily exceeded 100 yards of advancement. He carried the white team's offensive group and scored nine first attacks alone, performing outstandingly.

Unfortunately, the two sides were deadlocked.

At this point we can see the shortcomings of NCAA football. The tactics are still not rich enough. Without the guidance of coaches, the players' changes are too few, too few, and then they keep hitting the wall.

And Levi?
Although he is smart, he has only studied football for three weeks. A lot of his knowledge is still at the entry level, so he can't come up with a solution for the time being.

Then, in this stalemate, Hearts finally showed his talent, advancing on the ground with the ball and making consecutive short passes to open up the situation. He miraculously found the feeling and stumbled across half court.

In the end, the white team's defense narrowly intercepted Hurts near the 25-yard line of their own half, but the red team's special team still easily scored a free kick and finally opened the scoring for the main team.

"3:7".

The egg was successfully broken.

The red team's morale was boosted. There was still enough time left before the end of the game. As long as Hearts could maintain their form, they still had hope.

Ah!
Hurts finally roared out, showing the attitude of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, and proved with practical actions that there is a reason why he can be the main quarterback.

The air is burning.

Levi felt the change in atmosphere at the first moment. Although the main team only got a free kick, don't forget that their substitute team's attack has been hitting a wall. Now with the momentum of the main team, that gorgeous red ocean seems to have become all their energy.

The crisis is approaching quietly.
