957 I'm in a hurry
The first half is over.
After Huangqi's penalty was confirmed, the referee team spent nearly three minutes of video review to confirm whether Harrison actually completed a legal touchdown in the end and avoid misjudgment.
During this period, Harrison stood up again, and there was no physical problem. He was just fighting too hard in the first half, and he was exhausted and could not keep up with his breathing. After leaving the court on his own, he sat on the sidelines and started to inhale oxygen. After a short rest, he was able to return to normal.
Then, the Pittsburgh Steelers played additional points - although the game time has been cleared, according to the rules, the side that completed the touchdown can still try additional points.
So the Pittsburgh Steelers returned to the locker room with a very advantage.
“7:17”.
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, this was the final score. The stadium was about to evolve into a stage, waiting for the public to make its debut, while both teams returned to the locker room for a short rest to accumulate energy for the second half.
Lu Yiqi was the last to return to the locker room. From a distance, he could see Augustus and Robert standing at the door, one left and one right, with no dialogue or exchange of eyes. He stood silently, but neither of them entered the locker room.
"Aqi!"
Augustus was the first to discover Lu Yiqi's figure and called out loudly, but he just shouted, but he didn't know where to start with his mind, so he scratched his hair irritably.
To be honest, the Green Bay Packers have already shown top standards on both the offensive and defensive ends. They have indeed performed best within their ability, including the feeling and condition of the first wave of offense slightly floating, but overall, they are still within the level fluctuations.
However, the Pittsburgh Steelers were still unable to open up the situation.
This is really annoying.
From the perspective of the score alone, the 10th difference is not terrible. The situation where the ball can be reversed by two times is not worrying compared to other difficulties this season; but the real question is, what other ways can they come up with at the tactical level to change the dilemma of the confrontation?
Otherwise, even if they enter the second half, they will still face the same situation. Not to mention overtaking the score, the gap may be further widened.
This is the point.
Lu Yiqi glanced at Augustus, then looked at Robert, and smiled, "Why, don't you have a better way?"
Robert looked at Lu Yiqi's smile. He could feel Lu Yiqi's relaxation, not pretending, but real relaxation from the heart, not being confident, but more like... the firm belief, which confused Robert, "You are the head coach, I am responsible for obeying your tactics."
"Ha, if you had this kind of awareness when you were in Manhattan last year, my job would be much simpler." Lu Yiqi was still in the mood to joke.
Robert had no intention of laughing at all, "Do you really believe we can beat our opponents? Even after such a first half, I didn't change my mind?"
"Lobster, your subtext is, are you shaken?" Lu Yiqi laughed, but did not complain about Robert's meaning, but continued, "Believe me, we have a team that is more tenacious and stronger than we imagined. This game may be the last threshold for us to complete transformation. I not only believe that we can defeat our opponents, but also believe that we can become a better team."
Robert didn't understand Lu Yiqi's meaning.
But Lu Yiqi did not explain, but smiled at the two of them, "Do you believe me?"
"Of course." Augustus said simply, while Robert did not speak, but just stared at Lu Yiqi.
Lu Yiqi gently said with his head, "That's right, so let's enter the locker room. We don't have much time and there is still a lot of work to be done."
In fact, from a tactical perspective, the Green Bay Packers are still well prepared, and the adjustment of the intermission has already had a preliminary draft; but Lu Yiqi knew that in the face of an opponent with absolute strength like the Pittsburgh Steelers, the impact on the tactical level is secondary, and the energy bursting out from the spiritual level is the most important. So, how should the intermission stimulate the team's potential ability?
Lu Yiqi has a unique and bold idea about this.
Lu Yiqi took the lead in pushing open the locker room door and walked in, and Robert and Augustus followed behind him one after another.
In an instant, the rustling sound in the locker room automatically subsided, and even all the players stood up, staring at Lu Yiqi with burning eyes, waiting for him to speak.
"Packers."
Lu Yiqi stood in the front of the locker room and said loudly.
"We knew it was a tough game. Standing opposite us, probably one of the best in history, they had incredible strength and could dominate the battle with ease."
"We knew this before the game; after the game, we felt this more clearly than ever before."
Augustus couldn't help but be stunned. What's going on? What's going on in Lu Yiqi's tone? Why did he look convinced and bowed his head to admit defeat?
"Archi..." Augustus opened his mouth and was about to stop Lu Yiqi, but Robert stopped Augustus in time, suppressed Augustus' impulse with his eyes, shook his head gently, and then said with his mouth, "Believe in Archie", they should stand behind Lu Yiqi without reservation.
Lu Yiqi seemed to have not noticed the commotion behind him, nor did he notice Rogers, and Woodson continued to say that urgent and confused eyes.
Only Nelson, the entire team was up and down, and only Nelson was able to remain calm and just stared at the coach quietly.
"You have done your best and everyone can see it. Here, I want to praise you, you have indeed shown your style. So, no matter what the outcome is, whether it is a victory or a loss, I want to tell you that you can leave this stadium with your head held high and face the results of the game calmly."
"This is what I have always said, do my best, fight to the end, burn all the energy, and then accept it calmly no matter what the result is. In the second half, we also need to continue to maintain, exert all your energy, and persist in fighting until the last moment, which is enough."
Buzzing.
Buzzing.
No one spoke in the locker room, but the restlessness that could not be suppressed began to surge in the air:
Chapter completed!
