Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 134 Lin Yuan's Tactics

Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts.

This brand new stadium, which was just built in 2002, is the home of the New England Patriots.

The new stadium can accommodate 68756 spectators, including 6000 member seats and 87 luxury rooms.

At this time, the seats in the stadium were already full. Countless fans and onlookers not only snatched up all the tickets inside the stadium, but also gathered large groups of onlookers outside the stadium.

The fans were discussing today's game enthusiastically. After all, this was the home of the New England Patriots, so there must be a lot of fans supporting them.

"Which team will win today?"

"This is still up for debate. It's undoubtedly the New England Patriots. Didn't you see the odds offered by the bookmakers? I've bet half a year's salary!"

"You're going to make a small fortune. I only have $500 in savings, and I'm betting it all."

"Do the New York Giants really have no hope of winning? After all, they are a veteran powerhouse."

"If Lin Yuan hadn't been at quarterback, they still might have won. But now, why don't we guess how many points the New York Giants can get?"

"At least one touchdown, right? Then I'll guess 6 points."

"I guess zero touchdowns, scored a 3-pointer on a field goal, and avoided getting my head shaved."

"Hahaha, you're so mean, but since it's like this, I'll just guess 0! We're already much weaker than our opponents, and you still dare to give up your all-important quarterback to a newbie. It would be unfair to give anything less than zero!"

In the history of NFL games, there have indeed been occasional low scores like 10 to 3.

But they all occurred in confrontations with strong teams with tight defense.

The New England Patriots will definitely score a high score today. In this case, it would be too embarrassing if the New York Giants only scored 3 points or even 0 points.

It is enough to be recorded in history, so that fans in later generations will dig it out from time to time and criticize its corpse.

Before the game, the cameras of dozens of media outlets in the stadium flashed brightly, making people's eyes hurt.

Tom Brady was interviewed by several reporters, including the New York Times, Fox News, and the Washington Post.

"Mr. Brady, are you confident about today's game?"

"Of course I am confident that we will win the game." Tom Brady answered confidently.

"So you are totally pessimistic about Lin Yuan and think that the New York Giants have no chance of winning with him at quarterback?" This was the question asked by the Fox News reporter.

Tom Brady frowned. Although the source of today's friendly match was the doubts about Lin Yuan, the game was just a game. Why bother with this?

You seem to be full of malice towards Lin Yuan, but I am not. I don't want to be used as a gun by you.

So he answered solemnly: "My confidence comes from myself and the strength of my team. It does not come from underestimating the opponent."

"As the Super Bowl MVP, do you think Lin Yuan can play quarterback well?"

Tom Brady thought for a moment and replied, "A quarterback is like a commander on the field. He needs not only outstanding personal strength but also a flexible brain that can quickly analyze the overall situation.

I believe Lin Yuan has great potential, and I also like his action movies. But when it comes to rugby, he may need more practice.”

It can be said that Tom Brady's evaluation was as objective as possible. He didn't know how many football games Lin Yuan had played, but he was definitely not a professional.

Judging solely from the perspective of experience, team coordination, and team trust, it is almost impossible for Lin Yuan to be a quarterback.

This is a conclusion that is easy to draw based on common sense.

The reporters fully understood Tom Brady's thoughts and agreed with his conclusions.

After a brief interview with Tom Brady, they had to leave because the players needed to prepare for the game and could not leave much time for interviews.

So, the reporters headed to the preparation room where the New York Giants were.

"Do you think Lin Yuan can't even remember his teammates' names?" the Fox News reporter quipped with a smile. When those black brothers hang out together, it's hard to tell who's who without spending some time with them.

"Just interview, it's boring to make assumptions about this kind of thing." The New York Times reporter shook his head.

"It's so boring and serious. I don't believe that the New York Giants players will be convinced by Lin Yuan's command." The Fox News reporter retorted.

When several reporters arrived at the New York Giants' locker room, they were surprised to find that the players were sitting around Lin Yuan, discussing today's tactics with him as the center.

Seeing this scene, the Fox News reporter could hardly believe his eyes.

How did Lin Yuan convince these professional rugby players in just two days?

With so many tactics in the game, is it possible for him to master them?
"Let's play according to our previous rehearsal. We will definitely not lose today! Now, I'm going to go answer the reporter's interview."

"Mr. Lin Yuan, are you confident about today's game?" the New York Times reporter asked first.

"Of course we are confident that we will win the game."

This answer is exactly the same as Tom Brady's just now.

"As far as I know, you don't have much experience in rugby. Where does your confidence come from?"

"We've developed a set of effective tactics, but I can't reveal them now. What I can reveal is that this tactic, as the ancient Chinese saying goes, 'One force defeats ten skills.'"

"What do you mean? Invincible by brute force?" The reporter didn't quite understand.

"You'll know when the game starts."

After a brief conversation, Lin Yuan took the initiative to end the interview with the reporter because the competition was about to begin.

……

……

As the game got closer, the audience in the seats became more and more excited.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar, and the roar of the huge speakers spread throughout the stadium.

This seemed to be a signal, making all the spectators look towards the center of the stadium.

A tall host walked to the center of the court, holding a microphone in his hand, and his powerful voice resounded throughout the court:
"Dear fans, welcome to today's game! We are about to have a passionate battle! Please cheer for the participating teams!"

As the host's voice fell, the entire stadium became even more lively. Some excited fans even started to cheer, drumming and shouting the team's name.

Both teams gradually walked out of the locker room to greet the screams and cheers of the audience.

Pre-match preparations took just a few minutes. The players carefully arranged tactics on the field, while the coaches beside them continued to give instructions and encouragement.

Lin Yuan had stretched his muscles a few times. His body was covered in protective gear, so he felt a little awkward when moving.

Rugby and ice hockey are probably the two ball sports where the most protective gear is worn:
Helmet: It consists of a shell, a face guard frame and a chin strap to reduce the possibility of injury to the face, especially the nose and mouth.

Shoulder and chest pads: prevent the shoulders from being dislocated due to collision, while protecting the chest and ribs.

Waist and hip pads: protect the player's waist, hips and groin to resist pushing, pulling, collision, interception and falling in the air, etc.

In addition to these three main types of protective gear, there are also gloves, elbow pads, knee pads, leg pads... and other miscellaneous protective gear.

These various protective gears all illustrate how intense the competition in this sport is and how high the risk of injury is.

This is exactly what makes rugby so attractive. The reason it has become a national sport in the United States is the charm of rugby games that combines wildness and rationality.

Everything was ready, and Lin Yuan and his teammates came to the 50-yard line in the middle of the grass.

This competition that concerns Lin Yuan’s honor is about to begin.
