"Contest Mission:

Make your first pass during a practice match; Requirements: None; Reward: +1 Base Points.

Score your first touchdown in a practice match; Requirements: None; Reward: +1 Base Points.

Win in a practice match: Requirements: None; Reward: +1 Base Points. ”

Sure enough, as Lu Ke expected, the daily training tasks focus on the polishing of basic skills, and the rapid accumulation of basic points must be completed through competition tasks and special tasks. Although it is not yet known what the special mission is, the match mission has confirmed the conjecture. It was just a training match, and it actually contained three base points - he had only earned three base points in the past ten days of daily training tasks.

However, the completion of the task of the competition is not so easy. Because, rugby is not a one-man sport.

Putting aside the game task for the time being, Lu Ke called up the character attributes, and after browsing it, he added the basic points he had just obtained to the accuracy of the short pass, so this data became sixty-four. His stats are unlikely to change dramatically anytime soon, so he needs to focus on improving the quarterback's all-important passing ability for a while.

The accuracy of the long pass is already over 80 points, which is enough for a sparring player, or for a substitute, if not outstanding. Therefore, after measuring, Lu Ke added short pass accuracy, which is an ability that he needs to urgently improve.

"Beep", the whistle blew, Lu Ke raised his head, and then saw that the defensive group players of the sparring team were cheering, and then took a closer look, the offensive group of the third echelon looked depressed, and Kevin, who was standing in the middle, looked even more depressed, grinding his teeth viciously.

After a long period of absence, Kevin didn't seem to know how to pass the ball, and all three offenses ended in failure, failing to advance ten yards, and if they insisted on a fourth offense and still couldn't complete the ten yard push mission, then the ball would be handed to the opponent, and the opponent would attack directly from where their football was, which was twenty yards in front of their side of the end zone.

This is almost equivalent to sending the opponent into the penalty area, and if they can't touch down, they can at least take a free kick, and then the sparring team will have a "3-0" advantage to take the lead.

This is unacceptable to the third echelon.

Therefore, they gave up the opportunity to attack for the fourth time, and the special service team came on the field and punted.

The so-called punt kick means that the attacking side kicks the football directly out by the punt kicker, while the special service team of the defending side is ready to receive the ball in the other half, and the receiver of the defending side can continue to push forward after receiving the ball, which is called a return attack; The attacker's special team must stop the receiver because the receiver is pushed to the ground and will be the starting position of the opponent's attacking team when they come on the court.

The most exciting punt kick can press the opponent's starting position on the one-yard line in front of the opponent's end area, so that even if the offensive power is converted, the opponent's offensive position will be extremely uncomfortable; The worst punt is to let the opponent's receiver rush forward and rush straight through the end zone to complete the touchdown.

This is a bit similar to the goalkeeper's big foot clearance in a football game, and the most exciting situation is that the goalkeeper kicks out, and the football falls in the opponent's penalty area, which curbs the possibility of the opponent immediately attacking; The worst-case scenario is that the goalkeeper clears the ball at the feet of the opponent's ace, and then the ace goes all the way to the game, dribbles the ball back, and completes the goal.

In the process of punting kick, there is also a standard situation, that is, the punt kicker kicks the ball with a big kick, kicks directly out of the sideline, or flies out of the opponent's end area, or kicks into the opponent's end area. Well, it's all the same result: the opposing attacking group will start attacking on their own 20-yard line.

Kevin went off the court in frustration, and the special service teams of both sides came on the court and punted. However, the third echelon did not make a mistake this time, did not give the receiver of the sparring team any chance, and directly kicked the rugby out of the bottom line. Then, it was Lu Ke's turn to play.

Kevin's scolding voice came from the side, but Lu Ke ignored it, but led his teammates to trot onto the field and came to his own 20-yard line. Everything was so strange and so familiar, it felt like going back to high school again, but that was three years ago, three years.

The sigh was just a flash, and Lu Ke beckoned his teammates to come up, "They never took us seriously." Because we are sparring partners, we are just sparring partners, and we are not even qualified as substitutes. However, they forget that every day, we are all receiving the same training, we are all fighting the same battles, we pay no less sweat and blood than them, and we can do what they can do! I want to win this training match, does anyone join me? ”

Lu Ke was the first to stretch out his right hand, and then raised his head to look at his teammates, this shocking language made everyone a little stunned, but after being stunned, his eyes began to gradually brighten.

The sparring team is like an invisible presence, they are part of the team, but they are never recognized as an integral part of the team, and no one even acknowledges them as an integral part of the team. Ignorance, discrimination, contempt, contempt, this is always what they need to bear. They can't even tell their families, "I'm on the team. 'Because, they're not going to be on the pitch, they're not going to be on the bench, they're not even going to be on the roster.

John was the first to stretch out his right hand, which was superimposed on the back of Lu Ke's hand; Running back Derek-Bryant was second, then third, fourth, and in the blink of an eye, eleven hands were stacked on top of each other.

Lu Ke showed a big smile, "Guys, let's get some touchdowns!" This simple sentence made everyone laugh, and they all raised their palms in unison and cheered loudly.

In the game, the attack, defense and special forces each have eleven players. In the offensive group, the general configuration is one quarterback, one running back, two wide receivers, one near end, and five offensive lines (OL); There is also a position that can be changed according to tactical needs, perhaps adding a wide receiver or close end as a point of attack, or adding a running back as an open lane when running the ball.

Among the five offensive forwards, in the middle is the center, who is responsible for driving the ball and passing the ball to the quarterback; The left and right sides are, left, right, left, and right.

In the 2010 film "Weakness", based on a true story, the male protagonist is Michael Oher, who started out as a left tackle. This side is also known as the quarterback's "weakness/blind spot", for the right-handed quarterback, the left side is just the blind spot, he can see the defender from the right and then avoid it, but he can't see the left, which also makes the role of the left guard, the left tackle is crucial, and they have to do everything they can to protect the quarterback.

In general, the left-hand quarterback is the strongest of the offensive group, and he has to have a good hand. If it's a left-handed quarterback, it's a right-hand tackle.

However, these positions have no practical meaning for the sparring team and can be simply summed up as: attacking, protecting the offense, pushing the offense, and scoring a touchdown after the offense.

Lu Ke looked around at his teammates, ready to arrange tactics. Their shortcoming is tacit understanding, after all, he has never run in with his offensive forward as a quarterback, nor has he cooperated with his wide receiver and close end. The eyes finally fell on John, who was the only thing he could rely on, "I bet they must have thought our first attack was a run." ”

Don't talk about the opponent, just look at the eyes of your teammates, no one believes in his passing skills, and no one believes in his coordination with the receiver.

Lu Ke didn't explain, "But we have to pass the ball, and we have to make a long pass." The tactics in Lu Ke's mind have taken shape, "Guys, let's move to the left, Derek rushes up, ready to catch the ball, I'll pretend to pass the ball to you, and then you start rushing forward, and at the same time, John, ready to catch the ball." Everyone else pretended to be running the ball and did everything they could to get out of the way for Derek without worrying about me. ”

Fake running and real passing, this is a very popular offensive tactic, pretending to hand the football to the running back, running the ball attack, but in fact it is a passing attack. The focus is on deception, as well as the passing accuracy of the quarterbacks and the ability of the wide receivers to catch the ball.

"......" Everyone opened their mouths wide, with a stunned and shocked face, they not only want to pass the ball, but also make a long pass, or fake a real pass? It's really bold.

Derek shrugged, "I guess we don't have any other options. Well, that's it! Everyone else nodded and said with a smile, "As long as you pass the ball for the first time and you don't get intercepted, why not?" ”

There are four chances in each attack, and they can use the first opportunity to try and see, and they can grind and see. The premise is that Lu Ke's pass will not be intercepted.

Everyone dispersed, and Lu Ke stopped John, "Man, run forward, use all your strength, and run to the other party's thirty-yard line." ”

Thirty yards on the other side? Their tee shot was twenty yards from their side, which also meant that Lu Ke had to pass a fifty-yard long pass.

John was directly stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Ke in disbelief, but Lu Ke nodded, "I'm sure." Remember, the forty-yard line, and then the line is the one we're most used to, and after you get past the defensive line, run along the area on the right, and I'll watch where you are. Lu Ke patted John on the shoulder, "Man, I'll pass it on, trust me." ”

John shook his head slightly, then turned and ran out.

Lu Ke looked back at Derek, "Now, I think, we need to practice fake running and real passing." The action of this fake transmission can't be too fake. We're not Oscar-calib, but I think we can try and see, maybe we have the talent? ”

Derek is a cheerful black young man, a sophomore this year, one year younger than Lu Ke, he smiled brightly, "I'll let you see the style of the actor." ”
