American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Ultimately, the defensive team, led by Sam, tightly marked the Little Garden High School quarterback.

It was clear that Sam and the other veteran players had not lost their basic skills.

George, who noticed this from the sidelines, nodded with satisfaction.

After that, the game entered into a long and drawn-out battle.

Finally, with more than four minutes left in the game, Kohana High School, which had been forced to stop three times in a row, won three points for the team with a shot on goal in the attacking third.

Four minutes and three points—this scoring efficiency isn't high, but it seems acceptable for the two teams on the court, who are in opposing positions.

However, after the ball was switched, the atmosphere on the field underwent a subtle change.

It was no secret that Melford's team had lost last week, so the head coach of Little Garden High School had gathered information about their opponents before the game started.

Therefore, when Melford, with no other tactical options available, once again deployed a dual-core strategy, Little Garden High School on the opposing side immediately adopted a localized defense strategy.

This situation, which felt like a repeat of yesterday, made Melford's team very uncomfortable.

Even though you are stronger overall than your opponent, being restricted by their tactics and feeling like you're stuck in a quagmire waiting to die is not a pleasant experience.

As a result, Sam, who was once again surrounded by three opponents in midfield and had to stop to save the ball, began to lose his temper.

This is only the first section.

It's conceivable that if the situation continues to develop this way, Melford's invitational tournament will only be worse than the last one.

"Wayne, the team needs you right now!"

On the sidelines, George, noticing the situation was not good, spoke up to remind Coach Wayne, who was lounging in his chair.

This is precisely the time for the other party to make their move.

"It's okay, it's just an invitational tournament. Let them suffer a bit of a setback..." Coach Wayne, who should have done something, chose to give up.

"Okay~"

Seeing Wayne's indifferent attitude, George shook his head in disappointment, having given up hope on him.

In the subsequent game, Melford Rugby Team, unable to break through the opponent's defense, struggled more and more as the game progressed and gradually lost control of the situation.

When the whistle blew to end the first quarter, the Melford players, who had been dominated for a short period, returned to the bench in frustration.

Seeing his teammates looking dejected, George finally stood up, clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention, and said, "Listen to me, kids, the game has only just begun, it's not time to give up yet..."

As a group of veteran players gathered around, George rediscovered the feeling he had when he was head coach.

"Aaron, Sam, I need you to change your positions in a bit..." George explained to the two men how to deal with the localized epidemic prevention and control measures.

As a quarterback, Aaron has better vision and the ability to pass long balls. As for Sam, a power forward, if given enough space, few on the field can stop his attacks.

"And everyone else, pull yourselves together, you're all part of a team..."

“Come on everyone!!!”

The first quarter break was only two minutes long. As the players prepared to return to the court, George encouraged them.

With a new leader gradually emerging, the Melford players regained their confidence.

At the start of the second quarter, just as George had predicted, Melford broke through Little Garden High School's local defense strategy thanks to Aaron's long passing ability and Sam's attacking prowess.

The Melford crowd, who had already given up hope for their team, burst into applause and cheers when they saw the players' sudden improvement.

The atmosphere immediately became lively.

Sometimes, a competition is all about momentum.

With renewed confidence, the Melford team fought even harder after overcoming their difficulties.

Subsequently, Kohana High School, which was forced into a series of defeats, had no choice but to call a pause.

"Coach, what should we do next?" During the timeout, Captain Aaron came to the sidelines, seeking George's help.

"After this timeout, they will definitely change their defensive strategy. But don't worry, your overall strength is much stronger than theirs. No matter what tricks they try, you just need to play steadily..." George shared his experience.

At this point, the Melford team has undergone a transformation.

As long as they don't make any major mistakes in the subsequent matches, they have absolutely no chance of losing in head-to-head competition.

Chapter 234 The Competition in the Spring Rain

"Go go go... Maintain formation... Front guards, provide cover..."

After the timeout, with George's shouts from the sidelines, Melford and his teammates went on a mini-boom on offense.

As it turns out, in a straightforward clash of strengths, Melford team was indeed much stronger than their opponents.

Amidst the continuous cheers from the spectators, by the end of the second quarter, the Melford players, having regained their form, had established a significant lead in the score.

Back in the rest area, they had smiles on their faces, a rare sight indeed.

"Well done, kids! Keep it up, you're the best..."

After encouraging the team, George used the halftime break to continue assigning tasks: "In the second half, we'll continue with our long and short ball strategy. Aaron, pay attention to controlling the pace of the game... Guards and tackles, pay attention to your positioning. I need you guys to be ready to screen for the quarterback at any time..."

The long and short ball tactics can be described as mediocre, but this tactic is excellent because of its stability, making it very suitable for strong teams to use to crush weak teams.

Having just regained their confidence, Medford doesn't need any surprises; they just need to play steadily and they'll surely win this match.

"Did everyone understand what I said?" George asked loudly after finalizing the tactics for the second half.

"Understood, Coach."

The team members, who had developed a sense of trust in George, responded loudly.

"Great, we still have a few minutes left, everyone take a break." Without realizing it, George had already taken on the role of the team's head coach.

Behind them, Coach Wayne, lying flat under the tactics board, was unaware of the impending crisis.

At this moment, he even had the leisure to think about where to go for drinks after the competition.

Meanwhile, an elderly man disguised as a human was watching everything unfold in the audience.

……

At halftime, Captain Aaron, still full of fighting spirit, led his players in shouting that slogan:

"Melford, you will win!!"

"Melford, victory is assured!!!"

In the third quarter, although Little Garden High School tried to change their tactics, they were unable to make any significant impact due to the huge gap in strength.

When Captain Aaron once again, with the help of his teammates, sent the football into the opponent's end zone, the long-suppressed crowd outside the field finally erupted.

With a lead of more than ten points, Melford had essentially secured the victory in advance.

"What's there to cheer about? Statistically speaking, Melford is stronger, and victory was inevitable..." In the rest area, Sheldon Jr. looked at the audience's uncontrollable excitement and expressed his incomprehension.

"What do you know? This is a battle for honor..." Caught up in the atmosphere, Missy gave Sheldon a disdainful look before shouting at the field, "Go, George!"

“A barbaric sport…” Young Sheldon shook his head, preparing to find a reason to refute Missy.

Suddenly feeling raindrops on his face, he shouted in terror, forgetting everything else: "Oh no! It's raining! It's raining..."

Getting caught in the rain will make you sick, and young Sheldon really dislikes feeling sick.

"Don't panic, Sheldon. I'll take you to shelter from the rain right away." Mike, feeling the raindrops falling on his hand, reassured the panicked Sheldon.

The transition from spring to summer is a season with frequent showers.

At that moment, the sun was shining brightly and there were no dark clouds gathering, so it was clearly a temporary sun shower.

The rain was light and did not affect the normal progress of the game.

Of course, considering that Peggy and the other two were still children and not as strong as adults, Mike protected the three little ones and pushed through the crowd to take shelter from the rain in the direction of the school building.

"Tom..." Under the eaves of the teaching building, a number of female students who had come to take shelter from the rain had gathered. When Mike arrived, he unexpectedly found the old principal disguised in a corner.

"Shh~" Principal Tom made a shushing gesture, then quickly shook his head.

Clearly, he was here to secretly observe George, so he didn't want to be recognized by too many people.

On the playground, as the game progressed, the rain started to intensify.

In this situation, George's oversized coat and baseball cap today were a lucky accident.

At this moment, he didn't care about himself; instead, he braved the heavy rain to cheer on his teammates on the field.

As for Coach Wayne, who was supposed to do this job, he had long since disappeared to find shelter from the rain.

The light drizzle came and went quickly.

The sudden downpour stopped shortly after the start of the fourth quarter.

With the fresh air, a seven-colored rainbow appeared in the sky after the rain.

……

“We did it…”

As the final whistle blew, the Melford players, who had won by more than twenty points, cheered and embraced each other.

They desperately needed this victory.

Then, a group of people rushed back to the rest area, surrounded George, and shared in the joy of victory.

"Hey Mike, did you see that? We won!" Little George rushed up to give Mike a hug as he walked over.

"No no no~" Mike reached out to stop the other person, showing a look of disgust.

George, after playing a game of football in the rain, looked like he had rolled around in a mud puddle.

Mike had no desire to hug the mud man.

"Mike, we did it." God knows how much pressure Captain Aaron was under before this game.

At this moment, a happy smile appeared on his face.

It can be said that this victory was of great significance to Captain Aaron.

"Congratulations!" Mike said with a smile.

"No, it's to congratulate us," Aaron corrected.

Strictly speaking, Mike is now considered a member of the team. Thinking about how the team will continue to improve, Captain Aaron's smile grew even brighter.

After the celebrations, the match began, and the two head coaches shook hands for the final moments.

Since Coach Wayne hadn't returned from taking shelter from the rain yet, all the players looked expectantly at George.

If possible, the players would prefer George to be their head coach.

"Alright~" Given the urgency of the situation, George had no choice but to walk towards the center of the field, facing the expectant gazes of his teammates.

Congratulations on your victory!

The head coach of Little Garden High School, though still somewhat unwilling, was convinced of his defeat after witnessing the true strength of the Melford team.

"Thank you, your pre-game tactical preparations were also very good." George straightened his clothes and took the initiative to shake hands with the opposing coach.

Afterwards, the two exchanged their thoughts on the match.

As the two turned and walked off the field, the invitational tournament officially came to an end.

"Keep up the good work, kids..." George, having had a chance to relive his coaching experience, reluctantly bid farewell to his players: "It's time for me to go too."

“Wait, George. There’s more good news for you in a bit.” Mike was about to lay his cards on the table.

George's previous performance has likely been noticed by the principal. If nothing unexpected happens, his return to the head coach position should be a done deal.

"What good news?" George asked in surprise.

At this moment, Captain Aaron, who seemed to have thought of something, once again showed a look of surprise on his face.

Just as Mike was about to explain, the student council president led a group of volunteers to the team's rest area.

“Mike and Mr. George, the principal wants to see you in his office…” The student council president glanced around and continued, “By the way, where is Coach Wayne?”

"What do you want here?" Coach Wayne, who had been nowhere to be seen, finally returned after the game.

"The principal also wants you to go there," the student council president announced.

"Little George, could you please look after Peggy and the others?"

Knowing what was about to happen, Mike finished making arrangements for the three children and then turned to George, saying, "Let's go see the principal."
