073 The Yugong Moves the Mountain

Taihang, Wangwu Mountains are 700 miles in size and 10,000 feet high. However, Yugong, with the spirit of "the descendants are endless", was not afraid of difficulties, and persisted in trying to open up the two mountains and dig out a road that directly leads to the south bank of the Han River. His great wisdom and foolish mind moved the Emperor of Heaven and moved the mountains successfully.

During the entire difficult "moving mountains", even if there is a slight hesitation and hesitation, it may end up being a different result.

Now, the University of Texas Longhorns that lie in front of the Kansas State Wildcats is the Taihang Mountains, and the University of Kansas Jayhawks that go to the next game is the Wangwu Mountains.

The former is the seventh-ranked strong team this season; the latter is the mortal enemy of Kansas State University. These are two games without a way out, especially for Lu Yiqi.

If Lu Yiqi still hopes to continue to create possibilities in the head coach position, if Lu Yiqi still dreams of entering the NFL to become a professional coach, then these two games are the best touchstones. Although Jon Wifald and Tim Weather both expressed their appreciation and support for him before, it would be a matter of minutes to revoke the title of "interim head coach"; in the worst case, even the work of the offensive coordinator may be lost together.

The higher the position, the greater the risk; the higher the ability, the greater the responsibility - behind the glory of the head coach's position, we naturally need to bear the corresponding burden.

Previously, Vifald specifically mentioned the game against the University of Texas, which shows that the top leaders of the school are actually staring at the next two games, such as Jedi reversal of Auburn University and the start of the three consecutive wins in the new season, are not as important as the next two games.

This is very likely Lu Yiqi's life-and-death battle.

But Lu Yiqi also knew that being too hasty may backfire, and it is not realistic to reincarnate the team in a short period of time; he needs to be patient, with the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, take steady steps and face challenges bravely, and then accept all the results calmly.

First of all, Taihang Mountain.

If the Kansas State Wildcats want to defeat the University of Texas Longhorns, the offensive team is undoubtedly the top priority; and if Lu Yiqi wants to win the bet further, the offensive team is the absolute key - using the offensive team to put continuous pressure on the opponent, on the one hand, to gain an advantage for the defensive team, and on the other hand, to gain time and space for Lu Yiqi, so that he can spend more energy on the tactical scheduling of the defensive team.

In other words, if even the offensive team cannot establish an advantage, then let alone the bet, the game may be a match that will be won by flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.

In the Broncos' offensive team, the real core role is not Josh Freeman, but Jody Nelson.

"Nelson!"

Nelson, who was finishing the recovery training with jogging, heard his name, looked over the sound, and then saw the wide receiver coach waving at him. The interim head coach was slightly behind. Although he didn't understand what was going on, Nelson still trotted quickly.

"Coach." Nelson gradually slowed down, greeted him politely, and then nodded to Lu Yiqi for a moment.

Augustus signaled Lu Yiqi with his eyes at Nelson, "Two weeks ago, the tactical manual handed over to you by the coach, how are you studying?"

"It's all read. But, coach, to be honest, I don't quite understand how the content should be used." Nelson is an honest person. He asked if he didn't understand, and did not hide his confusion. "The running routes and tactical styles all look different. The regions, routes and methods are different, and I can't connect them together."

After saying that, Nelson paused for a moment and added, "Sorry, coach."

Augustus glanced at Lu Yiqi, and his eyes were really clear: I've said it a long time ago, this won't work.

After the opening game, Lu Yiqi and Augustus discussed it after many meetings, and then compiled a set of tactical manuals for the external receiver's running route and handed it to Nelson, but did not give much explanation. Nelson read it himself and understood it himself.

Augustus did not agree with this approach, because "the amount of information is too large", players often cannot digest it smoothly. Instead, they are at a loss because they face a large number of charts and lines, and they are completely lost in the ocean of tacticality.

Not to mention college players, even professional players face the same problem.

NFL is known for its complex tactics. More than 20,000 tactical arrangements and combinations are definitely not just a saying. Every year, players are unable to adapt to the intensity of the professional league's game because they are unable to familiarize themselves with the tactical manual and are eventually eliminated.

Even if the talent is excellent, players who cannot integrate the tactical manuals cannot gain a foothold in the league, which is why Von Derek tests must be conducted before every year's draft.

The von derrick test is a highly reliable and very simple tool for measuring intelligence capabilities, which tests language, numbers, space and logical reasoning abilities. Simply put, this is a test to detect IQ, but the focus may be slightly different from the ordinary intelligence test.

Johnny Manziel, the winner of the 2012 NCAA rugby highest individual award, is the best representative.

The quarterback was incredible in college. In 2012, he became the first player in NCAA history to win the Heisman Award during his sophomore year. He was once again shortlisted for the Heisman Award in 2013. His dominant performance made him announce his withdrawal from his senior season early and directly participated in the draft, winning countless attention.

However, due to the many off-field problems, the draft market has been declining all the way, and was eventually selected by Cleveland Brown with the 22nd pick in the first round.

After entering the league, the topic character Manzel was highly expected, but during the offseason training, he repeatedly couldn't keep up with the team's progress because he was unable to familiarize himself with the complex tactical manual. After officially making his debut in the regular season, he was troubled by the tactical manual. There were many problems in communication with his coach and teammates, resulting in repeated setbacks in the offense. He even kept hitting his head with a tactical board, strongly expressing his depression.

In the end, Manzel, who joined the league as "Pride of Heaven", was tripped by the tactical manual and only stayed in Cleveland Brown for two seasons, ending his career with a nightmare performance.

But things are still not over. Manzel, who has struggled for three years but has not given up, went to the Canadian professional football league CFL and continued to seek a career - not an inspirational story, because he is always entangled with alcohol, and the so-called "I am still working hard" is just an obsession in his mouth; unfortunately, even CFL, which is one level lower than NFL, the tactical manual is still Manzel's nightmare.

The case similar to Manzel is just the tip of the iceberg of the alliance. There are countless new recruits who are eliminated every year because of tactical manuals.

This is also the reason why Augustus disagrees with Lu Yiqi's approach: this is a burden on college players and may even destroy Nelson's confidence.
