As the game progressed, in order to bite the score, Mike used too many personal rushes.

According to incomplete statistics, he knocked down his opponents no less than ten times in the second and third quarters.

The audience is very happy to see this kind of super offensive style of play. However, this high-intensity style of play is now testing Mike's physical strength.

For one person to drag a team forward, it is still too much for Mike at this stage.

Mike, who was about to be physically exhausted at this moment, also deeply understood what Coach George said: Football is a team sport.

At the midfield line, Mike, who was holding the football, tried to break through twice more. When he found that he could not break through the opponent's double-team, he looked at Sam on the side line.

At this time, Sam also wanted to stand up and help the team. However, the opponent's two linemen were closely monitoring him from left to right, making it impossible for him to find any space to catch the ball.

Realizing that there was no offensive opportunity on the side line, Mike immediately set his sights on the entire field.

Then, he once again saw George who was running well in the opponent's back row.

There was no time to think about it. When the stoppage time was about to expire, Mike once again sent the football to Little George's arms with a high parabolic short pass.

Little George, who received the ball, reacted quickly this time, holding the football and rushing towards the opponent's backcourt.

However, frontal attack is not George's strong point. After holding the ball, he was knocked down by the opponent's security guard who was specifically marking him before he could run very far.

NO, NO, NO...

Melford's second-stage offense was blocked again. Coach George, who noticed that Mike was a little impatient, shouted loudly: Don't worry, slow down. We still have time...

Indeed, according to the general situation, after Austin entered the fourth quarter, the scoring lead was not enough for them to seal the victory. As long as Melford maintains a steady rhythm, there are still many opportunities to counterattack.

However, Mike, who was on the field, saw the situation more clearly. If we start a tug-of-war with the opponent now, it would be tantamount to slow suicide for Melford.

So Mike, who was holding the ball again, had only one thought in his mind, and that was: rush~

As Mike exerted his strength again, the competition on the field became intense again.

But again, how can one person's power compare to the energy of an entire team?

During the fast-paced offensive transition that followed, Mike slowly became powerless. The score was no surprise, being pulled further and further by the Austin team.

Beep——

As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Mike also stopped in his tracks. At this time, his face was covered with sweat, as if it had been washed with water.

79:65

Melford fell behind by a large margin and lost the game. This also heralds the end of their summer league journey this year.

Looking at the score on the scoreboard, all the Melford players had expressions of unwillingness on their faces.

Obviously they have a strong teammate like Mike. If they had worked harder, maybe the outcome of this game would have been different.

At this time, the audience outside the stadium also gave warm applause to this wonderful game.

Although Melford is still far behind in terms of overall strength, Mike's tenacious fighting spirit still won the favor of many viewers.

Man, you performed great today. I hope we can play again next year... Austin's quarterback took the initiative to find Mike after the game.

It can be seen that Mike's strong strength conquered his opponents in this game.

However, if you lose, you lose.

Mike, who was not in the mood, said a few perfunctory words to the opponent, and followed his teammates down the field.

Children, you have done a great job, don't be depressed, we will still have a chance next year... Coach George, who was standing on the sidelines, encouraged the players who came off the field one by one.

Then, Coach George went to the center of the field and shook hands with the opponent's head coach.

I'm very happy to have such a wonderful matchup with your team. I look forward to the opportunity for us to play against each other again next year. Austin's head coach said with a smile.

I'm looking forward to it too~ Coach George said with a cold face and shook hands with the other party politely.

Obviously, Coach George was a little dissatisfied with the opponent's behavior of sending Captain Aaron off the field as soon as the game started.

As the head coaches of both sides shook hands, this top ten game officially came to an end.

The Melford players who lost the game no longer had the high expectations they had when they came. They all got on the bus in silence like cocks that had been defeated in a fight.

Another two hours later, the school bus convoy returned to Melford.

Everyone, relax, our results this year are already very good. If you are still not satisfied with today's game, then train hard in the future. When we become stronger, we will go to Austin High School for revenge next year. Coach George encouraged the players in front of the bus.

The coach is right, we still have a chance to defeat Austin in the spring invitational next year. Captain Aaron stepped out and asked loudly: Do you have confidence?

After a morning of competition, all the Melford players have grown a lot.

After hearing Captain Aaron's words, someone echoed: Yes~

Then, the shouts became louder and louder, and the eyes of the team members became more and more determined.

Very good, we just need to have this momentum... Coach George smiled, encouraged the players a few more words, and then announced the disbandment of the team.

After all the players left, Mike and Little George walked to the locker room together.

On the way, little George suddenly said: Mike, do you think I have no talent in football?

Why do you say that? Mike was a little surprised.

In today's game, although George's performance was not particularly outstanding, it was still quite satisfactory.

I... Little George, who was about to talk, turned his head and glanced at Mike, then sighed: Forget it, let's not talk.

What's there to say?

Because George had a father who was a football coach, he started practicing rugby when he was very young.

Moreover, Coach George has always wanted to train his eldest son into a qualified football player.

In the past, under the encouragement of his father, little George always thought that he could become an excellent rugby player. But after today's game, he realized the importance of talent.

Compared with Mike, little George felt like a useless person.

After Mike thought for a moment, he understood the reason for Little George's frustration. However, rugby is indeed a sport that relies heavily on talent, and the competition is often about physical strength.

Little George is indeed not talented in this area.

Due to this reason, Mike didn't know how to solve the problem for the moment.
