Crack Crack Crack.

Lu Yiqi chewed the candy in his mouth very loudly, as if he was expressing his strong protest against Latimer. The sequelae after the strong confrontation still did not disappear quickly.

After all the candy in his mouth melted, his emotions gradually settled down. From a positive perspective, as a second-year offensive coordinator and a newbie to the interim head coach in a game, he was able to convince Latimer to agree to a slight change of existing tactics, which was already a huge victory.

Step by step, they need to go step by step!

Now, the first step to convince the defense team has finally been completed, which also means that Lu Yiqi can prepare for the second game according to his own conceptual framework, which is the best news.

Lu Yiqi was once again full of motivation and passion: he was about to coach the second game! And this time, he didn't need to be busy and sharpened his guns. They could prepare tactics from scratch, truly and completely prepare a game, using his way as the head coach!

"Archie?Archie!"

There was a call from the corridor, and there was no need to look back to know that it was Augustus.

Noah, that is Lu Yiqi's English name, and it is also the name on his driver's license and passport. The reason why it has not been modified is that there are still many invisible races/races/discriminations in North America - some jobs may be just because the name is an Asian name. The interviewer directly brushed it off during the first round of resume screening stage, without giving any opportunity to show it. Similar situations can be found in all aspects of life.

So, Lu Yiqi's English name was preserved.

However, the Chinese name is still used. His nickname at home is "Aqi", which just happens to be homophonic with "Aqi" in English. For Americans, the pronunciation is not hindered at all. Instead, it is more catchy than Noah and more in line with Lu Yiqi's image. Some close friends call Lu Yiqi this way.

Lu Yiqi and Augustus met only after they came to Kansas State University. They were not very familiar with each other. However, in the middle of last year's season, Augustus accidentally caught up with Lu Yiqi browsing the latest news on Facebook and accidentally learned about Lu Yiqi's nickname. Since then, he has been calling him familiar.

Of course, this also became one of the opportunities for the two to evolve into friends, and Augustus was a cheerful and extroverted guy.

"I said that we are not friends, please don't call me that." Lu Yiqi protested seriously.

Augustus deliberately covered his chest with his hands, indicating that he was injured, and then made a sad expression on his face, "Okay, Noah, dear Noah..."

"Get out." The greasy call made Lu Yiqi get goosebumps, and he couldn't help but tremble twice, which made Augustus laugh happily.

"The conference is about to begin. What happened to you in the defensive team just now? I heard that the icebergs exploded, and the scene was a bit scary." Augustus looked at Lu Yiqi curiously, blinking his eyes, showing his strong desire for knowledge.

Lu Yiqi avoided Augustus with disgust, "You are not suitable for puppy expressions, you should imitate the expressions of donkeys."

As a result, Augustus really began to imitate, "Donkey? What kind of donkey? The one in the monster Shrek? What should his expression be like?"

The appearance of the live treasure made Lu Yiqi laugh, and returned to the right track, pulling Augustus back, "Latimer agreed to change his defensive position."

Augustus did not continue to make fun of it anymore, and his focused expression couldn't help but become excited, "Oh? Does that mean that we can also do big moves?"

"Calm down, calm down! If you move a lot in one breath, our players may not be able to bear it if you don't need Pres to come back." Lu Yiqi quickly calmed down Augustus.

How did Lu Yiqi and Augustus become good friends - not just colleagues?

As a wide receiver coach, Augustus firmly believed that wide receivers can play their advantages through different arrangements and combinations. Some wide receivers are good at winning in chaos, some wide receivers are good at finding loopholes, some wide receivers are good at absolute speed, some wide receivers are good at tactical disassembly, and so on.

Therefore, Augustus hopes to teach according to his aptitude, firstly, formulate different training plans for the receiver, and secondly, constantly study the running route arrangements of the receiver. Even blue-collar players with limited talent can also play unexpected results in the appropriate tactical system.

This is the most charming part of rugby as a collective sport.

But unfortunately, like Mo Latimer, they are typical NCAA coaches-

It’s not that they don’t value tactics, they also clearly understand the importance of tactics, but they prefer talented players.

It can be understood in this way that talented players can win easy victories. So, why do you need to achieve complex victories through tactical changes?

On the one hand, NFL has to put forward higher requirements on tactics, which is a necessity, and NCAA does not have the need to worry so much; on the other hand, NCAA's environment does not allow it. The uneven quality of players is one reason, and the incomprehensive training time of players cannot be guaranteed like a professional arena is another reason - and complex tactics require a lot of time to train, which is also impossible to achieve.

Not only Pres and Latimer, but the whole NCAA is actually the case. Augustus's idea is too ideal and too naive.

The tactical system that Price insists on tends to give him characteristics at the basic tactical level, and then strive for victory through key players - so is Latimer.

As Latimer said, they won seven wins last year, not outstanding, but not too bad.

Augustus gave him advice on running routes to Pres many times, but all of them encountered a wall and could not open up the situation. On the contrary, Lu Yiqi, as an offensive coordinator, was always able to spark with him during the offensive tactics discussion and even put forward more novel opinions, which made Augustus excited.

Over time, they became friends.

Augustus fully supports Lu Yiqi's tactical arrangements, and he also closely monitored the exchange between Lu Yiqi and Latimer. Now that he learned that Latimer has finally loosened, even if it was just a small step, it would be enough to make Augustus excited: If the tactics of the defensive team can be changed, does that mean that the offensive team can also have more possibilities?

After all, compared to the defensive team, after Pres was absent due to illness, Lu Yiqi was the one who controlled the overall situation, and the coaches of other offensive teams showed no signs of objection. They could make more attempts. How could Augustus not be excited?
