I revived the Demonic Sect in North America

Chapter 174 Epilogue

In the stands, die-hard Falcon fans were shouting.

"We should have done this a long time ago! Lock down that number 21! Kill him, and see how they can play then!"

66

Coach Duke stood on the sidelines with a furrowed brow, cupping his hands to his mouth, and shouting at the players on the court.

"Watch your receiving spot! Running back, check your release! Trust your teammates!"

"Ready, set, kick off!"

The Cavaliers' center quickly backspinned the ball out.

Li Ang stepped back after receiving the ball.

As expected, Falcons star linebacker O'Connor did not participate in the pass rush or pressure.

Instead, it was like a huge, moving magnet, clinging tightly to Li Ang's path.

With his massive frame, precise footwork, and excellent anticipation, he positioned himself between Li Ang and the possible passing lanes.

This greatly reduced Li Ang's field of vision and potential space for starting a run.

Leon tried to move laterally to the right, and O'Connor immediately slid to the side, always staying one step in front of him.

Li Ang tried to step back to expand his observation space, but O'Connor immediately took a quick step forward.

Raising your arm to obstruct the passer's view creates invisible pressure.

Another commentator with a serious tendency, Mike Morales, regained some vitality in his voice.

It has a hint of "if only I had known."

"Beautiful individual marking! O'Connor used his experience and physique to completely shut down Li Ang's initial options! Li Ang couldn't find a good passing opportunity!"

Time is passing, and the edges of my pockets are starting to get bulging.

Under O'Connor's shadow, Li Ang's gaze swept quickly across the right side of the court.

Without hesitation, he swung his arm and passed the ball to running back Marcus, who had quietly slipped into the right short zone at the start.

Marcus receives the ball and turns.

However, the Falcons' other defensive players were able to cover for Li Ang very quickly because they didn't need to focus on him too much.

Two linebackers immediately blocked his path, and he stumbled forward less than 4 yards before being tackled by the two of them.

"Second down, 6 yards to go. The Falcons' targeted defense seems to be working immediately!"

Second attack.

Li Ang quickly made a hand gesture before the kickoff.

After the kickoff, he quickly retreated, made a feint to his left, and then turned to his right, attempting a quick short pass to find close end Taylor, who was dragged near the sideline.

But Falcons linebacker O'Connor's interference was ever-present.

His long arm was constantly waving in Li Ang's line of sight and near the passer.

The pass was a bit too rushed and too high.

Taylor jumped up to try to catch the ball, his fingertips touched it, but he couldn't hold on and the ball fell to the ground.

"Pass not completed! Third down, still 6 yards! A crucial third down transition! Let's see how River Valley College responds! Can Leon find a way through O'Connor's suffocating defense?"

Before kicking off, Li Ang took a deep breath and calmly observed the defensive formation.

O'Connor continued to stare intently at him, her eyes as cold as a rock, devoid of any emotion.

Li Ang suddenly whispered something quickly to the center forward, and then made a complex three-digit tactical hand gesture.

"Ready, set, kick off!"

Li Ang received the ball without pausing or retreating.

He steadily passed the ball with his right hand to running back Marcus, who was rushing up from behind like an arrow.

At the same time, he suddenly stepped forward with his left foot, not pretending to run for the ball.

Instead, he lowered his center of gravity and used his shoulders and chest to create a solid shield and block.

He blocked O'Connor's path as he was about to pounce on Marcus, the ball handler!

Commentator Kevin Harper exclaimed in surprise.

"The Cavaliers' tactic is a pass! A fake pass, a fast run! Leon sets the screen! He screens O'Connor!"

O'Connor's full attention was focused on Leon's possible passes or his own runs.

Completely unexpectedly, this opponent who dominated the first half would come up and do the dirty work for the running back, providing cover and blocking.

He was solidly blocked by Li Ang's sudden and powerful block, and his momentum was momentarily halted.

In that split second of delay, Marcus had already swept past Leon like a shadow.

They charged in through the narrow gap cleared by the left guard and the interceptor!

The Falcons' defense was too focused on Li Ang, and they were a fatal step too slow in helping the running back!

Marcus rushed past the first line and fought his way forward another 5 yards before being tackled!

Commentator Kevin Harper exclaimed, "First down in the game! Beautiful execution! Li Ang used his immense physical presence to create a wide-open path for the running back! River Valley Academy has secured their first down of the second half, continuing their offensive momentum!"

"Damn it! That cunning little brat!"

A chorus of frustrated curses erupted from the stands.

"Good shot! Keep playing like that! Be patient!"

Coach Duke pumped his fist on the sidelines, a smile spreading across his face.

Eve breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her chest.

She was genuinely proud of Li Ang's composure, selflessness, and teamwork.

He is not only a star with outstanding individual abilities, but also a leader who knows how to help the team win.

However, the Falcons' targeted defensive strategy remained unchanged.

In the next few offensive plays, whenever Li Ang was a potential target for receiving the ball or a ball handler, O'Connor's tenacious marking and at least one teammate's help defense would immediately follow.

River Valley Academy's offensive was progressing with exceptional difficulty, and several attempts to switch to third gear were narrowly missed.

Finally, when the ball was advanced to about the 45-yard line in the Falcons' half of the court.

Faced with a choice between four downs and two yards, and considering the huge lead and the situation on the field.

Duke's coach opted for a more conservative strategy: punt.

"River Valley Academy's offensive surge was effectively contained by the Falcons' extremely targeted defense! However, they maintained the intensity and discipline they displayed in the first half on the defensive end! Now, it's the Falcons' turn to attack. Let's see if they can seize this opportunity, close the gap in one fell swoop, and reignite the suspense of the game!"

The Falcons' offensive unit enters the game.

Quarterback Sean McCarthy stands behind the center.

His eyes were colder than at the end of the first half, but also held a hint of desperate resolve.

Coach Winston's halftime roars and tactical adjustments seemed to have some effect.

"kick off!"

The Falcons executed their coach's instructions precisely, simplifying their offense and focusing on powerful drives.

On their first offensive possession, they fielded a heavy lineup, using full backs to clear the way, with star running back Tyreke charging through the middle.

Under Li Ang's shouts and commands, the defensive front line of River Valley Academy put up a desperate fight.

But the Falcons' offensive line seemed to have been awakened by the coach's scolding, showing the toughness and teamwork they should have.

Star wide receiver Tyreke even used brute force to cover 5 yards.

"Yes! That's how we fight! Let our bodies do the talking! Break through their defenses!"

"Run! Terrick! Charge!"

The Falcons fans' chants grew louder again, offering a glimmer of hope.

Second gear, 5 yards left.

Quarterback Shawn quickly retreated from the pocket, making a passing motion.

But after drawing the defense's attention, he quickly passed the ball to another running back rushing past him, and attacked the middle again.

Li Ang anticipated the move and darted out from the side of the defensive tackle, heading straight for the running back with the ball.

But this time, the Falcons' right guard filled the gap in time.

He slammed his strong shoulder into Li Ang's side.

Although Li Ang managed to reach the running back's jersey with his hand, he was unable to complete the tackle.

The running back stumbled and rushed another 4 yards.

"Third down, only 1 yard left! Short yardage situation! The Falcons have a chance to continue their offense!"

The atmosphere in the entire stadium suddenly became tense, as if the air had frozen.

On the River Valley bench, Duke's coach and all the players held their breath and leaned forward.

Eve clasped her hands tightly together in front of her chest, her knuckles turning white.

Falcons quarterback Shawn stood behind the center, his face tense beneath his helmet.

He took a deep breath and suppressed all distracting thoughts.

"Ready, set, kick off!"

He quickly passed the ball between his legs to the full-back who was rushing up from behind.

At the same time, the five burly men on the offensive front let out a unified, beast-like roar and pushed forward together!

A classic beast formation for a powerful attack!

The intention was to crush a yard with sheer force!

The full-back with the ball lowered his head, like an angry bull, clutching the ball tightly to his chest.

Pushing everything aside with his shoulders and helmet, he charged toward the narrow gap.

The defensive front of River Valley Academy was pushed back repeatedly by this concentrated force.

Jamal, who had returned to center linebacker, and another linebacker were knocked off balance.

Just as the strong full-back was about to squeeze out of the crowd and secure the crucial first strike!

At the critical moment!

A blue figure, like a cannonball or a precise scalpel, pierced through the gaps between people and the chaotic limbs!

It's Li Ang!

He started moving the moment the ball was spun.

Ignoring any feints, they relied on their amazing anticipation of offensive tactics and explosive speed of attack.

Before the full-force attack could gain momentum, he rammed into the opponent's side waist with all his might!

At the same time, his right arm shot out like a venomous snake, precisely and fiercely stabbing between the opponent's hand and arm holding the ball!

"Bang!"

"puff!"

The heavy thud of muscles colliding and the muffled thud of the ball being slammed together exploded almost simultaneously!

Quan Wei was thrown off balance by Li Ang's perfectly timed side impact and stumbled.

The rugby ball that he had been holding tightly in his arms loosened due to the precise shot and his loss of balance!

The ball bounced out of his arms!

"The ball has been lost! The ball has been lost! Li Ang! It was Li Ang who caused the ball to be lost! Fight for the ball! Everyone is fighting for the ball!"

Kevin Harper's screams mingled with the gasps of the entire audience, echoing throughout the stadium.

The brown rugby ball bounced and rolled irregularly on the green grass.

It instantly attracted the attention of all the players around.

Like a magnet, they attracted three or four red and blue figures, knocking them down and burying them!

The people were piled up like a small mountain, their arms and legs intertwined, and roars and groans came from beneath the pile.

The referee rushed over, blowing his whistle urgently, and anxiously shoved the players around, trying to get a clear look at what was happening at the bottom.

The members of both the Valley and Falcon teams desperately pressed down with their bodies and struggled with their hands to grab the prize.

A few seconds later, the referee finally saw the rugby ball, which had been pressed firmly under the chest and arms of the player in the blue jersey at the very bottom of the crowd, and which was completely still.

Li Ang in the blue number 21 jersey!

"Blue team has possession! River Valley Academy has regained possession!"

The referee raised his arm high, pointing clearly and forcefully in the direction of the River Valley Academy's attack.

"Yay!!!"

'

The River Valley Academy's bench erupted in chaos!

Coach Duke jumped up excitedly and punched the air!

Bruce used his uninjured left hand to frantically pound on the back of his teammate next to him!

Even the usually composed Jack Davis couldn't help but swing his arm hard and let out a low growl.

"No! God, no!!!"

66

The Falcons' fans erupted in a desperate, incredulous roar.

"Bullshit! How could the hell do that?!"

"It's him again! That damn number 21! He's like a ghost that won't leave you alone!!!"

66

Falcon quarterback Sean McCarthy, who was being blamed for the attack, stood frozen in place, his face ashen.

His lips trembled uncontrollably, as if he couldn't understand or accept what was happening before his eyes.

His meticulous reading of the defense and his teammates' desperate execution of the third-down play—the crucial yard that turned the tide—was ended in such a disastrous way, handing possession to the other team!

And it's all because of Li Ang!

That Chinese kid whom he didn't even bother to look at before the game!

The Falcons' morale, which had just been boosted by the coach, was completely shattered and vanished by this fatal fumble at the offensive initiation line.

River Valley Academy, on the other hand, was in a position where it most needed to stabilize morale and strike at its opponents.

Li Ang regained possession of the ball with a tenacious, textbook-perfect defensive play.

And the attack started near the 35-yard line in the opponent's half!

The scales of victory have tipped irrevocably.

The rest of the match completely fell into River Valley Academy's rhythm.

Although O'Connor still followed Leon around like a shadow, never leaving his side.

But the other players from River Valley Academy also stepped forward.

Wide receiver Kevin made a crucial third-down long-range catch, dealing a heavy blow to the Falcons' morale.

Tight end Taylor was fouled by a Falcons cornerback when he received a pass from Li Ang in front of the end zone.

This earned the team a valuable automatic first attack, advancing the ball into the red zone.

Li Ang himself, during an attack, pretended to be completely locked down by O'Connor and jogged slowly with his back to the direction of the attack. Suddenly, he used an extremely realistic passing feint to the right, along with a shoulder shake, to successfully fool the fully focused O'Connor for a fraction of a second. He then quickly turned around and charged through the middle with the ball!

Surrounded by two linebackers and a safety, he lowered his center of gravity and twisted like a fish, using his strong core strength and sense of balance to force his way out of the tackle and stagger into the end zone!

"Touchdown! Leon! His fourth touchdown of the game! Despite O'Connor's suffocating defense, he still found a way to score! A beautiful feint, followed by a powerful individual drive! River Valley Academy makes it 28."

"Seven! The lead has widened to three touchdowns!"

Kevin Harper's commentary was full of awe and admiration.

The kick went in, making it 29-7.

The outcome of the match was no longer in doubt.

The Falcons' players began to lose focus, their offense became disorganized, their passing became erratic, and their movement became hesitant.

Their defenses were riddled with holes, and they blamed each other.

Sean McCarthy's passes were wildly off target several times, and on one occasion, his intention was so obvious that he was almost intercepted by the River Valley Academy cornerback.

River Valley Academy, on the other hand, became more relaxed and confident as the game progressed, firmly controlling the situation on both offense and defense.
