After some thought, Coach George agreed to Mike's proposal. He decided to let the team use the down rush tactic to try it out first. If the effect was not satisfactory, it would be too late to adjust the tactics later.

The timeout ended and the two teams came to the five-yard line in the Austin end zone.

Next, it was Melford’s chance to score a second time.

When the two teams set up their formations, Tucker looked at Mike, who was on the opposite side of the quarterback, and said provocatively: I was accidentally attacked by you before. Your despicable behavior has angered me. After a while, I I will let you know what cruelty is~

Obviously, Tucker was still worried about being pushed to the ground by Mike in the previous conflict.

Now Mike is the quarterback of the team, just opposite him.

Therefore, Tucker also wants to deal with Mike the same way he dealt with Captain Aaron before.

Mike did not respond to Tucker's provocation. Moreover, what the other party happened to say was what he wanted to tell the other party.

The two sides have already formed a grudge, and it is useless to talk more. Just wait for a while to see the real deal.

Beep——

When the whistle sounded for the second extra score, Mike did not avoid Tucker who came up to intercept. He held the football and rushed straight towards his opponent.

The quarterback is the soul of the team, and the players will always pay attention to his movements and cooperate with his actions.

The same was true at this moment. Without Mike's special reminder, the team members understood his intentions and took the initiative to help him create some space.

This also allowed Mike to find a one-on-one opportunity with the opponent's defensive end.

Bang~

With a violent collision, Tucker was knocked to the ground again without any surprise.

There was nothing fancy about this confrontation. It was obvious that Mike was using his superhuman physique to bully his opponent.

Under Tucker's surprised gaze, Mike swaggered past him holding a football.

The distance of five yards can only be covered in three or four steps. Under the cover of his teammates, Mike entered the opponent's end zone with an arrogant attitude.

At this moment, the total score was rewritten to 15:16, and the Melford football team took the lead for the first time in this game.

Mike stood in the opponent's end zone, holding the football high and shouting: Melford~

All the team members who were preparing to celebrate also agreed: We must win!

Melford~

Must win!!

After boosting morale, Mike dropped the football and led a group of players toward the midfield.

When passing by Tucker who was still lying on the ground, Mike glanced at him sideways and said lightly: Tank? Haha~

The slightly sarcastic laugh was not too big or too small, just enough for everyone around to hear.

This approach was tantamount to a heavy slap on Tucker's face.

He was helped up by his teammates and looked at Mike's leaving figure, his eyes filled with anger.

Beep--

After the teams from both sides reached the midfield and set up their formations, the referee blew the whistle twice in succession.

The first sound was the whistle for Austin's offense. The second whistle was the end of the first quarter.

The game has reached this point and it can be said to be very intense. In just twelve minutes, the two teams contributed four high-quality offensive transitions.

As a veteran and strong team, Austin's performance is quite normal. However, many spectators did not expect that a team from a small place like Melford could have such a strong offensive ability.

At this moment, there were many spectators who gave warm applause to the Melford team, which was resting at the end of the game.

When Mike walked back to the rest area, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure here.

Aaron, with a bandage on his arm, was sitting next to Coach George with a smile on his face.

Mike, you did a great job. I also saw the attack just now. If I had known you were so strong, I would have given up the quarterback position a long time ago. Captain Aaron joked, pretending to be relaxed. .

It can be seen that he has adjusted his emotions. He didn't let everyone see his disappointed look again.

Captain, thank you. Mike smiled and explained: The offensive cooperation just now was not directed by me...

This is indeed the case. Mike did not deliberately direct the previous second attack. Everything relied on the tacit understanding between teammates.

And morale is something that cannot be seen or touched.

Compared to Captain Aaron's all-around gentle character, Mike is more like giving instructions to his teammates with actions.

Moreover, for today's tough battle with huge disparity in strength, the Melford players really need a tough leader.

Calculating it this way, what Captain Aaron said is not wrong.

Seeing that the team members had more fighting spirit than before, Captain Aaron nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Mike, I've discussed this with Aaron. In the next game, you can take the lead and use rush tactics. Coach George took advantage of the break to completely clarify the tactics.

Then, he continued to warn: However, I also hope you can understand that the Melford team is a whole. When necessary, I need you to learn to trust your teammates.

Coach George has long discovered that Mike is a bit unique in his playing. This kind of independence cannot be said to be bad, but as a qualified quarterback, he needs to consider more.

Learning to borrow the strength of the team is also one of the essential abilities of a quarterback.

I understand, coach. Mike nodded thoughtfully.

The two-minute break passed quickly, and Mike, who appeared again, called the team members together and talked about his plan.

The general meaning is to allow the players to reduce confrontation on the defensive end, thereby leaving their strength on the offensive end.

This approach is extreme and bold.

How is it, do you understand? After finishing his thoughts, Mike asked loudly.

All the team members looked at each other, and finally turned their attention back to Mike, and responded loudly: Understood!!

The Melford players also knew that the strength gap between themselves and their opponents was too large. Instead of being dragged to death by opponents on both offense and defense, it would be better to try the strange move proposed by Mike.

Very good~ Mike nodded with satisfaction, and then he motioned for everyone to put their hands together.

One, two, three~

come on!!!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Austin's quarterback rushed to the end zone without much obstruction in the first offense.

Easily another six points for Austin High School.

The audience, who originally thought that the second quarter would be more exciting, saw Melford Middle School's slackness on the defensive end and protested one after another.

What's going on? Coach George also looked confused on the sidelines. Immediately, he was about to call a timeout and wanted to ask Mike if there was something wrong with his thinking?

Although the Melford football team is not as strong as its opponent, that's not how the game is played.

This approach of giving up the game in the second quarter made Coach George feel very embarrassed.

Wait a minute, coach. Mike and the others may have their own considerations. Give them a little more time... Aaron stopped Coach George from calling a timeout.

Now that the second quarter of the game has just begun, it is really not appropriate to rush to call a timeout. Coach George lowered his arms, but his gaze on the court became more and more solemn.

He is already reflecting on whether he made a mistake by putting Mike in the quarterback position.

Aaron on the other side also frowned. Although he was willing to believe Mike, at this moment he didn't understand what the other person wanted to do.
