Chapter 155 On what basis?

[The second update is sent! Ask for votes]

Rugby originated in the United Kingdom. After it was passed to the United States, the rules began to change, so American football is also called American football or American football by other countries. Because there is often a physical collision with the opposing players in the game, players need to wear protective clothing and helmets to play.

Joanna was out of sight after she came to the football field. After inquiry, she knew that she was still one of the cheerleaders and had to dance on the field later.

They got some banners, whistles and other things to cheer for the team.

Matthew has a lively personality, and even put the varsity badge of the Latin school team on his face to cheer for his school team.

According to Matthew, in the past, the new and old students of his school acted as both sides of the game. This time, in order to make the atmosphere of the game more enthusiastic, the football team of Milton High School, another famous private high school in Boston, was invited to play the game, which greatly increased the expectations of all students for the game. The game has not yet started, but Lin Hong has already felt the warm atmosphere of the whole field.

This is an indoor arena, which is completely closed. Even on rainy days, it can be played as usual. It is said that the rugby field of the Latin School is at the forefront of the whole Massachusetts, and there will be some famous professional games here.

This rugby field is very huge. There are white lines on the green grass, with numbers such as "30, '40". Lin Hong came into contact with this sport for the first time and didn't know what it meant.

There was still some time before the official start of the game, Lin Hong casually asked Matthew about the specific rules of the rugby game.

Matthew's eloquence is excellent and his insight is extraordinary, so now Lin Hong basically asks him directly if he has any questions, and he basically doesn't let him down every time.

"The goal of the game is to push the ball to the opponent's touchdown zone, and then you will score. There are many ways to score, including holding the ball across the bottom line, throwing the ball to the teammate behind the bottom line, or kicking the ball straight on the ground in the middle of the two post, also known as a shot. The team that scored more points at the end of the game won.

Matthew pointed to the court and said, "The longer boundary is called the sideline, the shorter one is the bottom line, and the marked lines next to the bottom line are the scoring line. All processes are measured by yards. The distance between the scoring lines is 100 yards. The scoring area is located in the area 10 yards wide between the bottom line and the scoring line, which is the touchdown area.

"We usually call the court a barbecue grill, which is very vivid, isn't it?"

Lin Hong agreed with this statement. The lines on the court are indeed like a shelf on a barbecue grill. When those players stand up, it's really like barbecue on a barbecue grill.

"The attacker has four opportunities to attack. After four attacks, it must advance forward for at least 10 yards, and if it is achieved, it is called completing the first attack. At this time, the attacker can get four offensive opportunities in another round. If the attacking side does not advance for 10 yards in a round of attack, it will lose the ball. Any player on the offensive side can pass the ball as long as the ball is passed from behind the kickoff line. When the ball is occupied by one's own players, it is called a successful pass. The catcher is usually an outside receiver or a tight end. If the ball touches the ground before anyone catches it, the pass fails..."

Under Matthew's explanation, Lin Hong finally understood the rules of the game.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is very simple, that is, after kick-off, push desperately into the opponent's position, and in the process, the opponent will try his best to stop you, usually using their strong bodies to savagely collide with you.

It should be noted that once the attack is started, the ball can only be passed in the direction of propulsion all the time, and cannot be passed backward, otherwise the ball will have to be restarted.

In addition, if the ball has landed before it is received, or if it is pressed to the ground by the opponent and cannot move after receiving the ball, it will be regarded as having been successfully blocked by the opposing player in this game. The ball must be put back into the service area and start the next attack.

"Joanna is here." The debt, who stayed quietly and didn't say anything, suddenly said.

Lin Hong turned his head and saw Joanna in a white tight top and a red skirt coming this way at this moment. Next to her, there was another person, Carter, the captain of the football team, who was saying something behind him.

At this moment, Carter is wearing a white uniform for the Latin school varsity team, with his shoulders and chest raised high, and holding a helmet in his hand.

Seeing this, Arthur's face suddenly showed anger, clenched his fist, and immediately walked over.

"Hey, man, don't get excited, don't get me wrong." Seeing Arthur like this, Carter immediately said, "I told you last time. Don't worry, I'm not a promise. I'm not here for you, but for STONE.

Arthur looked at Joanna and was relieved to see the other party nodding.

"Hi, STONE, hello, I'm Carter, the captain of the school football team."

Carter greeted Lin Hong warmly and then stretched out his hand.

"Hello." Lin Hong and he shook it politely.

"Dude, I'm here to ask you a favor this time." Time was running out, Carter said bluntly, "That's it. Our team had a leg muscle strained during yesterday's training, so we can't play today, and I don't have enough confidence in the substitute, so I would like to invite you to make a temporary guest appearance on the wing front.

"Wow!" Hearing his words, Matthew was so envious that he shouted out.

"External receiver? Only Lin Hong is also very strange. He doesn't even know what this outsider is doing.

"The outsider is the person in charge of receiving the ball!" Matthew immediately explained, "In addition, he also has to help block and cooperate with the quarterback to move forward."

Lin Jing: "Are you sure you're not joking?"

"I know what I'm talking about, STONE, I'm serious." Carter insisted, "I still remember clearly that you caught my full pass last time very casually. I believe you must be a very qualified outsider!"

"STONE, if what Carter said is true, I hope you can try it." Joanna also said at this time, "This game is very important. We don't want to lose to Milton Middle School."

"Yes, STONE, you can participate in the competition, you can definitely do it!"

"Today you will definitely become the most dazzling star in the whole field!"

Matthew and Arthur are full of confidence in Lin Hong, but they know very clearly that Lin Hong has unlimited potential.

"Lin Hong, try it, I think it's also a good experience for you." The debt also encouraged on the side.

With the encouragement and persistence of everyone, Lin Hong finally nodded. In fact, he did have some expectations for this kind of movement between men. He believed that he could do better than them.

After repeatedly confirming the responsibilities and position of the receiver, Lin Hong followed Carter into the locker room.

"Hey, guys, let me introduce a new player. This is STONE from China."

Carter introduced to other team members who were preparing to wear.

"Hon, everyone, it's a pleasure to play football with you."

Lin Hong's greeting did not receive a very warm response, but he could also feel that everyone did not reject his joining. It's just because the game is approaching, the atmosphere is a little tense.

In fact, there are several people like Lin Hong who joined the team halfway. After all, this is not a professional game. It is normal to find suitable candidates from the school to participate in the game. However, whether you can play in the game at that time or not is two different. Counting the substitutes, there are only a dozen people who can really play in one game.

It's just that the middle-aged boy found by the captain this time seems to be too thin. Can he withstand the strong collision of the other party on the court?

Everyone has such doubts in their hearts.

Lin Hong is the thinnest figure in this dressing room.

"STONE will serve as a winger receiver in the game. I hope that everyone can cooperate with each other and work together to defeat Milton and finally win!"

"What?"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard his words.

Listening to Carter's meaning, it's too surprising to let this boy enter the starting lineup directly.

Especially Kane, who was going to replace the injured receiver, is even more unacceptable.

"Carter, are you kidding?" Kane stood up and said, "Is it his size?"

The height of Kane's standing up is exactly higher than Lin Hong's two heads.

"I know what I'm doing!" Seeing that his authority was challenged, Carter's face suddenly became difficult to look, "Kane, I understand your mood, but your right hand has been injured... And this game is very important to us!"

"It's because of this that you can't mess around!" Kane insisted, "Why does he take my place? I doubt if he is still in the seventh grade!"

Lin Hong knew that the seventh grade in his mouth was equivalent to the second year of junior high school in China. I think this big man is really right. If he goes to school at a normal age, he may not even be in the second year of junior high school now.

However, he wisely chose to be silent. At this time, if he said something, things might get worse.

Since Carter came to him, he has to be responsible for tling these people, otherwise, there will be a good game later. Although he has never participated in such a competition, Lin Hong knows that such a multi-player competition pays the most attention to teamwork.

"Captain, isn't your decision a little too hasty?"

"Yes, yes. Although it's just a homecoming game, our opponent is Milton Middle School. We must not lose this game, so captain, you'd better think about it carefully.

"Let Kane start first. If we can take a big lead at the beginning, let STONE feel the atmosphere of the game."

Everyone objected and felt that Carter's decision was a little too haste.
