American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Having witnessed Mike's formidable abilities in actual combat, Melford's entire team became much more composed in terms of morale.

This mysterious and enigmatic state is precisely the mark of a team transforming into a strong team.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet and listen to me..."

After the players calmed down, Coach George said with a smile, "In the fourth quarter, we switched to the All-Star strategy, so everyone played more freely..."

"Mike, is everything alright on your end?"

"No problem, Coach. I'm all set," Mike replied confidently.

Due to his skill level, Mike has gradually taken the lead in the dual-core playstyle.

But in order to cooperate with Aaron, he often needs to hold back his attacks.

Now, Melford's star-studded tactics are entirely geared towards Mike, and he no longer needs to worry about anything else.

Two minutes later, both teams returned to the field for the final showdown.

beep—

Melford kicks off.

Captain Aaron, who was playing alongside Mike, received the serve and immediately handed it to him.

Then, as Mike made a quick run forward, the other Melford players circled around him, providing cover.

Just as Mike led his team into the opponent's penalty area, bursts of laughter suddenly came from the sidelines.

"What are the people at St. Mary's High School doing...?"

"Have they been beaten senseless...?"

"This is hilarious..."

……

Due to their defensive focus, the St. Mary's High School players unanimously chose to mark Aaron during this round of defense.

And so, a hilarious scene unfolded.

The St. Mary High School team surrounded Aaron, their passing machine, in midfield.

Meanwhile, Mike, the true core player, entered the St. Mary's backcourt area without any hindrance, leading a large group of teammates.

The two teams faced each other across the distance, clearly separated by a clear divide.

This way of losing points makes St. Mary's High School look like a clown.

Without a doubt, this was a major tactical blunder.

Of course, the audience didn't think that much about it; all they knew was that the St. Mary's High School team members had given up on the game as if they had lost their minds.

Then, the restless audience split into two groups: one cheering for Mike's score, and the other mocking the St. Mary's High School players.

beep—

As the whistle blew, Coach Cotton, who had made a major decision-making error, quickly called a timeout.

Chapter 243 Victory in Hand

"What just happened was due to my poor decision-making; please don't feel pressured..."

During the timeout, Coach Cotton took full responsibility for the previous tactical errors.

He wanted to use this method of taking the blame himself to calm the team members down.

After all, the previous defensive mistakes were so basic that they would definitely have a huge impact on the players' confidence and morale.

If this serious situation is not handled properly, it could even cause the St. Mary's rugby team to never recover.

Realistically speaking, Coach Cotton's defensive strategy did have significant problems, but the players who executed this defensive tactic on the field also need to bear some responsibility for this mistake.

Given this situation, even though Coach Cotton was trying his best to comfort the players, they still didn't look too happy.

The jeers from the spectators seemed to crush the young players from St. Mary's High School.

Their young faces were filled with a complex mix of emotions, including confusion, self-blame, and even anger.

Coach Cotton is also feeling very tired seeing the current state of his players.

He considered himself a decent coach, but for some reason, when deciding on tactics for this match, he always felt intellectually inferior to the opposing coach.

For a seasoned head coach, this sense of inexplicable disparity can be very uncomfortable.

"In the upcoming matches, we'll revert to the birdcage defense strategy. However, if possible, I still hope you can pay close attention to their number 23..."

With the one-minute timeout over, Coach Cotton, having suppressed his distractions, gave the players new tactical instructions.

It's clear that Coach Cotton was much more conservative in his tactical choices this time.

"Big Michael, keep it up! You'll always be the best!!!"

When the St. Mary's football team returned to the field, little Sean, who was holding a DSLR camera, cheered loudly.

Michael, who had been looking remorseful, turned around and gave a goofy smile after hearing the little guy's cheers.

When he turned his head back again, his eyes had become firm.

……

In the remainder of the fourth quarter, the St. Mary's players, who had just made a fool of themselves, inevitably became timid and hesitant in both offense and defense.

As a result, the team made several small mistakes in succession.

Meanwhile, Melford, led by Mike, became increasingly formidable.

Anyone can see that the two teams have become polarized in terms of momentum.

As time went on, Melford's attacking desire intensified, and they gradually widened the score gap.

Driven by this overwhelming trend, the members of St. Mary's High School team gave up their resistance.

However, among the group of players at St. Mary's who were essentially giving up, the big guy Michael became an outlier.

He silently executed the tactics from beginning to end. Although he was knocked down by Mike time and time again at the end of the fourth quarter, he got up again and again and continued to execute the coach's tactics with determination.

Clearly, this taciturn giant had not given up on the game.

"St. Mary's High School isn't all just good-for-nothings..."

"Actually, that big guy isn't bad either..."

……

Inspired by Michael's tenacious spirit, the off-court audience talked about him while the mockery of St. Mary's team decreased significantly.

Similarly, the big guy's performance was also noticed by his teammates.

At first, I didn't understand, then I appreciated it...

Finally, the St. Mary's High School team members seemed to be inspired by the big guy's will. One by one, they spontaneously followed him and joined the game.

Next, having experienced ups and downs and thus resolved their inner conflicts, the St. Mary's rugby team seemed to have undergone a significant improvement in overall strength.

Unfortunately, they ran into Mike, who was executing the star strategy.

Without any reservations, Mike was still able to easily charge into the opponent's end zone time and time again when facing the revitalized St. Mary's team.

……

Amidst enthusiastic cheers from the sidelines, Mike once again dribbled the ball, knocking over several opposing defenders, and charged into the opponent's end zone.

The final whistle blew as the game ended.

57:39

Melford won the game by a significant margin.

Immediately, amidst the enthusiastic shouts and cheers of the audience, the scene transformed into a vibrant sea of ​​excitement.

Some people in the crowd threw their belongings into the air in celebration, while others vented their emotions by pumping their fists on the spot. Many more hugged their friends...

Meanwhile, Mike, the hero of the team's victory, was holding the football and gently waving his arm at the crowd outside the field who were chanting his name wildly.

This feeling of being the center of attention is actually not bad.

Meanwhile, Mike, who was enjoying a wave of audience adoration, noticed out of the corner of his eye that the big guy he had just knocked down was still not getting up outside the end zone.

"Hey big guy, are you alright?" Mike went up to check on the big guy.

In his mind, he was thinking about whether he had lost control and hurt the person when he hit them.

"I'm fine~" The big guy Michael, having recovered, got up on his own. After seeing who was in front of him, he said seriously, "You... are amazing!"

The big guy seemed to be impressed by Mike's skills, but being a man of few words, he couldn't think of any good words to praise him.

“You’re not bad either, I have high hopes for your future…” Mike smiled kindly.

He had a pretty good impression of this big guy.

Before the two could exchange any more words, the Melford teammates, who arrived shortly after, led by George Jr. and Captain Aaron, excitedly lifted Mike up.

Then, a group of people excitedly carried Mike around the field, receiving another round of cheers from the audience.

……

After a lively celebration, as Mike arrived at the sidelines surrounded by his teammates, Jack squeezed in with two television reporters.

"Mike, do you still recognize me?" Compared to his disheveled appearance last year, Jack, now wearing a tie, looks much more energetic.

"Of course, Jack. Congratulations on becoming the leader of the reporter team!" Mike greeted him familiarly.

Because they had worked together to make money last year, the two had several phone conversations afterward.

"It's nothing, just a team leader..." Jack couldn't hide his smug smile when talking about his work progress.

Although Jack is currently only the group leader of the sports reporters' group, in terms of organizational structure, he has already entered the leadership level.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore." After subtly showing off, Jack got down to business: "I want to take some photos of you."

"Making a poster?" Mike asked, fixing his hair as he did so.

“No, we’ll discuss the poster later…” Jack explained, “I’m planning to do a feature article about you, and I need to use your photo.”

Jack, who bet everything on Mike last year, also secured his position at the television station by doing so.

In return, he planned to help Mike Young become famous.

Of course, Jack, as an adult, also had some selfish motives.

That is, if this helps Mike gain fame, he will likely be able to advance further in his position at the television station.

It can be said that this time, Jack once again chose to place his bets on Mike.

"I see~" Mike didn't dislike being famous, so he cooperated by striking a cool pose.

Then, Jack directed his men to set up the equipment and take several sets of photos of Mike.

"Tsk tsk~" Looking at the handsome image on the camera, Jack exclaimed, "Believe me, you'll soon become a Texas football star..."

Actually, there was something else Jack didn't say, besides being a football star. He felt that Mike was better suited to be a Hollywood star.

Given his looks, he could easily charm a large number of young female fans if he wanted to.

"Thank you for your kind words~" Mike, having finished taking photos, was about to walk towards Lina and the others.

“Wait, Mike…” Jack whispered, “See those guys over there wearing baseball caps? They’re scouts from various college football teams. If you want to develop in football, you’d better do well in the upcoming invitational tournament…”

The high school spring invitational tournament can be described as another crazy mini-March, as college scouts take this opportunity to observe high school players they believe have potential.

When graduation season arrives in June, these scouts will recruit high school students with potential to their respective universities.

"Thanks for reminding me~" Mike glanced at the college scouts in the crowd, but didn't take it to heart.

On the one hand, he's only in eleventh grade this year and hasn't graduated yet. On the other hand, he's never considered entering university as a student with athletic talent.

Chapter 244 After the Match

"Mike, you're so cool!"

When Mike said goodbye to reporter Jack and went to the rest area, Lina immediately gave him a hug.

Katie and Peggy, standing nearby, looked at him with a unique gleam in their eyes.
