American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Mike became the team captain very easily, and the team members were very willing to cooperate with his playing style and tactics.

And so, in early July, Mike and his new teammates easily secured their first victory. Meanwhile, Mike also took some time to visit the state newspaper office to discuss poster distribution with James' manager.

However, given the newspaper's previous "star-making" effect, James' manager hesitated and said that if Mike wanted to continue the partnership this time, he would need to give up more benefits.

However, times have changed, and James' manager clearly misjudged the situation.

Mike, whose stock market was booming, was not short of this small amount of money, so he was too lazy to argue and turned to reporter Jack for a collaboration.

Reporter Jack was the first person on the TV station to bet on Mike.

He has now been transferred back to the television department and has become a group leader there.

Jack was delighted to see Mike approach him again and immediately offered to take a smaller cut of the profits.

However, Mike insisted that the two should split the profits 50/50.

Jack needed to find people to handle the production and distribution of the posters, while Mike was essentially a hands-off manager, just waiting to get his share of the profits, so there was no need for him to try and take advantage of the situation.

In reality, Jack's attitude convinced Mike to consider him a friend, so he was willing to achieve a win-win situation with him.

A week later, in mid-July, Jack brought Mike some bad news before the start of the second elimination round.

James, the manager from the TV station and newspaper, announced that no matter how well Mike performs in this year's Summer League, his news will no longer be published in the newspapers.

Meanwhile, Jack also brought Mike some good news: the television department leaders said that as long as Mike continued his hot performance from the first half of the year, the television department promised to make a special sports documentary-style episode for him after the season ended.

"This is probably your idea again!" Mike said, staring at Jack with a smile.

This time, the other party brought a larger professional filming team, clearly in preparation for a later television special.

"Keep up the good work and try to lead Melford to the final. There will be a live broadcast then..." Jack's answer was irrelevant, but the meaning was clear.

In the subsequent second round of elimination matches, Mike lived up to expectations and once again led his teammates to victory over their opponents with a stellar performance.

Thus, even without newspaper coverage, Mike's reputation as a rising star in football reappeared in the sight of many football fans.

Meanwhile, with the old headmaster supporting him on campus, Mike has once again become a hero at Melford High School, even though the season is only halfway through.

For a time, in Texas, a land where ability speaks volumes, Mike's popularity even surpassed that of ordinary second-tier stars.

Fame and fortune are readily available.

What Mike needs to do now is to continue winning more games.

Another week has passed, and the Melford rugby team has continued their winning streak, once again demonstrating their formidable strength to defeat their opponents and successfully advance to the finals.

This winning streak has demonstrated the power of the star strategy, namely its ability to "create stars".

Mike, who is at the core of the team, has once again gained popularity and is now the center of attention.

That's the allure of "Crazy July"...

As July drew to a close, on the day of the finals, Melford's opponent this time was none other than Austin High School, the team that had looked down on them in the invitational tournament earlier in the year.

The final match, which was broadcast live, was held at the Texas Arena.

Texas Arena is a sports venue specifically designed for various large-scale events, with a total of 50,000 seats in the spectator section alone.

The stadium also boasts a full range of advanced sports facilities.

At this moment, the magnificent open-air stadium was filled with football enthusiasts from all over Texas.

"Don't be nervous, kids, we've already created a miracle. Now, I just hope you can enjoy the game." Coach George encouraged his players in the pre-match preparation area.

Despite saying he wasn't nervous, Coach George's hands were trembling a bit in the face of such a grand spectacle.

"Go Mike... Go Mike..."

"Go, Wonder Boy!!!"

The match was still a while away from starting when a huge cheer erupted from the stands.

Everyone loves Mike!

There might be a mole within the TV station; a few days ago, this person exposed the conflict between Mike and the newspaper department.

So now Mike has inexplicably gained another nickname: "Wonder Boy".

Many people seem to have seen Michael as their spiritual anchor, and they admire his spirit of "resistance".

We should thank James for this; his deliberate provocation seemed to have given Mike the opportunity to achieve legendary status.

"Go on, take the team to warm up..." Coach George, who had been keeping an eye on the time in the rest area, reminded Mike ten minutes before the start of the game.

"Follow me!" Mike, wearing the captain's armband, stood up and called to his teammates.

Meanwhile, a flurry of camera flashes lit up the sidelines, clearly indicating that many people had captured the moment when Mike stood up to greet his teammates.

Everywhere you look, there are bright lights, and all you hear is a tidal wave of cheers.

Because it is a semi-enclosed venue, you can feel the exceptionally enthusiastic cheers from the audience when you stand in the center of the stadium.

The stadium, which can hold 50,000 people, was filled with densely packed, wildly cheering crowds.

In the face of such a big event, the athletes on the field can be considered to have great composure if they can keep their movements fluid.

At this moment, Mike, who had circled the field once, returned to the center of the field and saw that many of his teammates were so nervous that they could hardly move their legs.

Clearly, this new batch of Melford rugby players had never seen anything like this before and were a bit intimidated.

"Melford~"

Seeing this, Mike reached out his hand and shouted.

"Must win!"

The teammates tacitly gathered around and put their hands together.

"Melford~"

"Must win!!!"

……

Indeed, at certain times, a good leader can transmit positive emotions to teammates.

"The fact that you're here proves you're all excellent. So you don't need to be afraid of anyone, even if the opponent is last year's league champions..." Mike encouraged his teammates.

The warm-up session ended quickly, and the summer rugby league finals officially began.

Melford Football Team was fortunate enough to gain possession of the ball in the coin toss, and both offensive and defensive teams stepped onto the center line simultaneously.

"As always, stick close to me. Trust me, victory belongs to Melford!"

During the preparation time, Mike loudly reminded his teammates.

Melford Football Team's tactics are simple: they revolve around Mike's star player. Anyone who has followed Melford Football Team's recent games knows this.

However, this simple and brutal tactic proved incredibly effective when used by the Melford rugby team, simply because they had a powerful playmaker.

This is another explanation for Mike's nickname "Wonder Boy".

He always seems to be able to bring the audience the surprises they want.

beep—

The whistle blew.

Chapter 295 Glory to Melford

Go...go...go...

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Mike suddenly started moving with the ball, his figure like a powerful cheetah. Before his opponents could even get into the game, he had already passed through the crowd and charged into the opponent's end zone.

Touchdown

Just seconds into the game, Melford Football Team had already taken a six-point lead.

"Oh, what I just saw, Melford's forward, he was like a cold-blooded killer, killing the game in just a few seconds..."

"Yes, I'm sure this Mike's skill level far surpasses that of other high school players. His performance should be seen in professional competitions..."

The two hosts responsible for warming up the audience and commentating on the competition, given Mike's popularity and excellent performance, immediately began to praise him extensively.

Of course, Mike's performance in this round also deserves all the praise.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast also showed Mike raising his arm and waving to the audience with a smile.

The camera then focused on the faces of the Austin players, who, having just conceded a goal, wore expressions of confusion, frustration, and disbelief.

This contrasted sharply with the Melford players who were cheering on the other side.

"Now, let's see how the Melford rugby team uses their second-chance opportunities..."

"God, it looks like they're still planning to use the star player strategy. Mike... Mike is bringing the ball into the end zone again..."

……

"I feel the game is over, no one can stop Melford's advance..."

As the commentators spoke, Mike, who had once again led his team to a perfect score on offense, led his teammates off the court to make substitutions in both offense and defense.

Melford's outstanding performance on the offensive end in the first round will surely dampen the opponent's morale.

The Austin rugby team knew exactly what tactics Melford would use and who his key players were. But even with their tactics so obvious, they still couldn't defend against them, which severely dampened the players' morale.

"Well done, Mike, keep it up!" Coach George encouraged Mike, the key player, during the rotation.

Since Mike's star-studded tactics have proven effective, Coach George has found it increasingly easier to devise his own strategies.

With Mike as a lethal weapon on offense, he hardly needs to worry. He only needs to focus on how to help the defense maintain their lead.

"Don't worry, Coach George, Melford will definitely win the Summer League title this year," Mike said confidently.

After the last round of attacks, Mike had a basic understanding of the Austin football team's overall strength. Although they were slightly better than the average high school team, their superiority was still limited.

This championship team from last year seems to be somewhat undeserving of its title.

Of course, Mike underestimated one thing, namely that his own physical abilities had reached an inhuman level.

In this situation, he sees everyone as a weakling.

Therefore, the initiative in this Summer League has always been in his own hands. Mike could dominate the game on his own if he wanted to.

What a coincidence! It just so happens that in the invitational tournament earlier this year, the Austin rugby team humiliated the Melford rugby team, so Mike is prepared to give his opponents a little shock today.

As the game continued, Mike, who once again led the offensive team onto the court, gradually loosened up his game.

He repeatedly broke down his opponent's psychological defenses through strength, skill, and speed.

The ensuing games turned into a grueling ordeal for the Austin rugby team.

For viewers who support Melford and Michael, it was a visual feast.

The scene was extremely brutal at one point.

But what can we Texans do? We just love this.

An hour later, amidst cheers that seemed to lift the roof off the stadium, the match finally came to an end.

Melford won by a large margin, thanks to Mike's impressive performance.

Meanwhile, as the Melford players cheered and celebrated, the Austin rugby players, who had been tormented throughout the game, quietly left the field.

Many of them were thankful that they were still alive.

It's important to know that although Mike didn't intentionally try to injure anyone in this match, his powerful physique still made it easy for his opponents to get hurt.

During the game, Austin had to replace three defensive tackles due to injuries.

"Coach, it's almost time for the awards ceremony!" Mike celebrated briefly with his teammates before heading to the edge of the arena.

In the rest area outside the stadium, Coach George was stunned. It seemed that happiness had come too suddenly, leaving him unable to react for a moment.

"Oh, I'm coming." Upon hearing the voice prompt, Coach George stood up abruptly and then pulled his brand-new suit tighter and tighter.

To show how much he values ​​today's game, Coach George prepared a formal outfit for himself before the match.

It comes in handy right now.

"Is my hair messy?" Coach George asked quietly as he stepped onto the playing field.

"No, you look very handsome right now~" Mike replied with a smile.

Coach George has always been a gentle and composed person, and it's rare to see him flustered or at a loss due to nervousness.
