Comeback 606 Family Gathering
Comeback 606 House Party "Sorry, Charlize, can you help me get another beer?" Thank you, thank you so much. Old Jack sat on the sofa at this time, with a bright smile on his face, and shouted to Charlize who was busy in the kitchen, and then watched Charlize come over with two bottles of beer and put them on the coffee table, and Old Jack expressed his gratitude again.
Charlize looked at the kind old Jack, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's just a gesture." When she stood up, she stole a glance at Hugo, and the eyes of the two men intertwined, and Charlize seemed to ask, "Are you okay?" Her gaze was clearly on Adam, who was sitting on the other side of the couch.
Hugo hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, indicating that he was fine, which made Charlize breathe a sigh of relief, and then walked towards the kitchen with a relaxed smile.
This year's Christmas was indeed very lively, not only the Taylor family came, Adam came, and Charlize and Alex also did not go home because they had jobs at the end of the year, Carl also stayed, but the other members of the team who were glorious to death abandoned Hugo and ran to Canada to attend an underground rock party, which also made the family lively.
Molly Taylor, led by his daughter-in-law Michelle, as well as the excellent chef Samora, and Charlize who helped out, were preparing the Christmas dinner, while the others who couldn't help were sitting in the hall, enjoying the thrilling rugby Christmas fight.
Rugby is known as the national sport of the United States, whether it is basketball that attracts attention all over the world, or baseball with a very wide base of people, or the world sport football, it cannot match the charm of football in the United States, and American football is the real hegemon.
Every time as long as the football game is broadcast, all other TV programs must stand aside, and the ratings are completely easy to complete the sweep, and the Super Bowl showdown in February every year is known as the "American Spring Festival Gala" The Super Bowl in February 1993 attracted the attention of 130 million viewers in the United States, and Michael Jackson, who was responsible for the halftime performance, made the most viewers in the history of television, attracting 1.5 billion viewers worldwide, and this record has not been broken even in 1J 2014.
There are four major professional leagues in the United States, namely ice hockey, baseball, basketball and football, among which only football can be considered a true national madness. In addition to the Super Bowl, football games on Thanksgiving and Christmas are also a ratings frenzy, which can be called a place of fun for the whole family. Since Major League Baseball ends in October and the National Hockey League (NHL) takes a Christmas break, only the NBA and NFL have a Christmas game.
But even the NBA, which is popular all over the world, still has to retreat in front of the NFL, although the NBA will arrange Christmas games every year, and will arrange particularly exciting matchups, but the game time is often relatively early, usually ending before eight o'clock, and the professional arrangement is to stagger the NFL Christmas war that starts at 8:20!
However, the NFL has a very special point, its game days are generally Saturday and Sunday, and later there was a Thursday night game because of Thanksgiving, and the 25th of Christmas every year can not determine the time, which also makes the NFL's Christmas war become "irregular", only when Christmas Day is a weekend.
This year's Christmas falls on Saturday, so the NFL Christmas War was born. What makes Christmas Game so exciting is that the NFL's regular season generally ends in December, with the playoffs in January, and the winner enters the Super Bowl in February. In other words, if the Christmas game can be held, it will be the last week of the regular season or the penultimate week, which is decisive for the fight for a playoff ticket, and it is often a tragic anomaly.
This year's Christmas game is even more exciting, with two teams facing off against the Houston Oilers and San Francisco 49ers, both of whom are among the top teams in the league and are competing for the title in their respective divisions, and both are strong contenders for the Super Bowl, making this Christmas game look more like a battle for kings.
"Oh, shit!", "Goddamn ......" A group of complaining voices rang out everywhere, obviously very dissatisfied with the team's table just now, and Hugo almost jumped up, "Are you sure Yang knows what he's doing?" He completely made the shotgun formation look like a joke, shit!"
Hugo's words were recognized by the circle of people around him, and Alex picked it up directly, holding a beer and waving it constantly, "Is he sleepwalking now?" He didn't know who the opponent was, grass, wake up, Steve, please, who saved this lost little lamb, he was terrible. ”
What they're talking about right now is San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young. Young), the San Francisco 49ers are currently one of the league's oldest powerhouses, having won the Super Bowl four times and are aiming to win their division for the third year in a row...... League of Nations Western District ...... won a better position in the playoffs, but their opponents Houston Oilers were stronger, and they played a very hard game today, and Steve Yang made a series of mistakes, which made people have to explode.
In fact, today's Houston oil table is also very bad, it is estimated that the huge pressure of the Christmas game has far exceeded the level of the regular season, and it is more tense than the playoffs, which makes the tables of both teams not look good, and the scene looks like a mess, which makes people complain about powerlessness. But it is precisely because of this that they want the team they support even more...... San Francisco 49 can rise.
Los Angeles doesn't seem to be so enthusiastic about their football team, and the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Raiders have only a handful of home games in the City of Angels with attendance of more than 70 percent, in fact, the main reason is not that Los Angeles doesn't like football, they are just as crazy about football, college league and high school league football teams are sought after, and college league game attendance even exceeds that of TNFL teams. The main reason is that Los Angeles is a famous city of immigrants, and the residents here are more willing to play their own teams of origin, while Los Angeles does not have a homegrown football team, which is a hard problem.
Comparatively speaking, the 49ers, who have been stationed in San Francisco since l946, have won the hearts of many Californian fans. Especially in today's game, the opponent was Houston, Texas, so all the men in the room fell in favor of the San Francisco 49ers.
In the face of Hugo and Alex's impatience, Adam couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted directly, "You should look at the pocket protection, the protection just now was so bad that it didn't give Steve time to think at all......"
"Yes, that's my key point, the point of the shotgun formation is to ask the quarterback to pass the ball, pass, the running back just doesn't use it, so the quarterback should be highly focused before passing the ball, instead of waiting for the ball to be seen and then look around in a panic." Hugo said very depressedly, he was obviously very dissatisfied with Steve's performance just now.
Sure enough, Hugo's words about Adam were out of line, he could only say, "The two quarterbacks are not in good shape today, you have to see their running ball, maybe you will have to rely on running ball to decide the winner today." ”
"Hell God." Hugo also agreed with Adam's words and complained depressedly.
After crossing over to the United States, Hugo also has a special harvest, that is, he has also become one of the fanatical fans of rugby, in fact, he has watched very unpopular rugby in China before, but it is not in vain, he will watch the game when he has time, but he will not abandon other things for the sake of the game, and wait for the live broadcast; For example, in the Super Bowl, Hugo had only watched three live broadcasts before crossing over. But now it's different, the atmosphere of football in the United States is really strong, it is worthy of being the most popular sport, the popularity rate is very high, and even as a leisure activity, you will play two games, just like the ball throw and catch in baseball.
From his childhood interest to his madness for rugby, Hugo relied on this interest to truly integrate himself into this cultural society, and of course, the profound impact of Lancaster's soul on Chen Hugo cannot be ignored.
Although Hugo and Adam were arguing just now, unexpectedly, the communication between the two of them has become more, which is really rare. Before that, Hugo had been worrying about how he should communicate with Adam, otherwise every time two people called, there would be a lot of silence, even if it wasn't embarrassing, it would become embarrassing, and it was necessary for any two people to become intimate, and a common hobby was very necessary.
Today, Hugo accidentally discovered that rugby could be a bridge, so that he and Adam will have a lot of conversation in the future, which is one of the biggest takeaways from the Christmas war.
"Guys, it's time to eat! It's only been three minutes into the game and you're starting to roar here, so what are you going to do when we get into the fourth quarter?" Molly walked over and greeted everyone, apparently she was used to such scenes.
Sure enough, this wave of attacks by the San Francisco 49ers was futile, and in the end they could only give up kicks, which provoked the men to start to irritable again, and then they were pulled by Molly one by one and walked towards the restaurant. Adam was there chattering with Hugo, "Steve's pass was terrible today, but it didn't come out, it's a mess." ”
Hugo smiled and agreed, but at this moment, the phone rang, Hugo looked left and right, and said, "I'll pick it up." Then he patted Adam's arm, turned around and ran in the direction of the phone. Adam glanced at the place where Hugo had just patted himself, then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but relax his steps and walked towards the kitchen.
Hugo walked over to the phone and picked it up, "Good evening, this is the home of Theron, Lancaster, Lorraine. ”
But there was no answer on the other end of the phone, as is customary, just a silence, Hugo originally thought that it was a problem with the telephone signal again, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the early nineties, but then Hugo thought about it, he had received at least three calls of this type in the past two months, and Charlize and Alex had also mentioned it, so there was something wrong.
So Hugo picked up the phone that was about to hang up again, and thought for a moment, "Joe? Is that you?"
