As dford High's most popular boy last year, Mike, adorned with nurous accolades, had his every move closely watched by students.
Thus, over the next few days, the news of his return to the football team gradually spread throughout the school.
Of course, the main driving force behind this event was largely the girls in the school who were infatuated with him.
This situation led to girls secretly coming to the field during the football team's subsequent training sessions to watch them practice.
And when these girls witnessed Mike's heroic solo charges in the team's scrimmage drills, they imdiately showed a tendency to transform into "fanatics."
As a result, Mike's popularity in the school once again reached its peak through word of mouth.
The attention given to the team also increased by a notch.
...
Saturday arrived, the day of the dford High and St. Mary's High invitational ga.
Coach Wayne had already contacted Coach Cotton from St. Mary's High, and he had fulfilled his promise from last year.
Around 9:30 AM, a large bus bearing Saint Mary's logo slowly drove into the dford campus.
Behind the bus, a luxurious black private car followed.
The wealthy and leisurely Tuohy family had specially co to the invitational ga to cheer on their adopted large black boy, Michael Oher.
Seeing the opponents arrive, in the dford Team's rest area, George said to the players, "The strength of this opponent is very strong, so I need you all to be spirited. Now, go warm up first—"
Along with the recent popularity of the football team and last week's victory against Little Garden High, the number of students who ca to support the dford Team today also reached a new high.
Seeing the favorable situation, the spectators, upon seeing the dford Team players co out to warm up, let out a fierce cheer in advance.
"Wow, it's really lively today—" Coach Cotton, while leading his players to the St. Mary's rest area, was also startled by the lively scene around him.
The rules of the Spring Invitational Ga determine the ho field based on the rankings of last year's Sumr League.
Although St. Mary's High's historical record was much better than dford's, they lost to the latter last year.
Therefore, in today's invitational ga, the St. Mary's Football Team could only play as challengers on the dford campus.
"Mike, George doesn't seem very satisfied with our tactics..." On the field, Aaron ca to Mike, who was about to warm up.
As the team captain, Aaron keenly noticed that George and Mike had so disagreents on the concept of the new tactics.
From an observer's perspective, he also vaguely felt that Mike's choice of offensive routes in the star tactics seed sowhat unreasonable.
Therefore, Aaron also wanted to take advantage of the ti before the ga started to persuade Mike.
"It's fine, he will understand ." The star tactics inherently speak of one person forming an army, and Mike, who had full confidence in his own strength, did not feel that there was any problem with his playing style.
"Alright, I'll try my best to cooperate with you when necessary." Looking at Mike's confident appearance, Aaron did not try to persuade him further, but chose to trust him.
The uniqueness of the star tactics dictates that to unleash its power, players first need to truly trust the core player from their hearts.
And Mike's performance on the training ground so far has indeed been worthy of his teammates' trust.
...
"Mike... Mike..."
After Aaron left, Mike, who was warming up alone, heard a childish voice from outside the field, frantically shouting his na.
Looking over, he saw a familiar figure in the St. Mary's High rest area.
Last year's little "fan", Sean, an interesting little guy.
"If I rember correctly, you were my little fan last year..." Walking to the front of the St. Mary's High rest area, Mike said with a smile, "What, do you still want my autograph this ti?"
Don't let Sean's age of six or seven fool you; this little guy's emotional intelligence was no lower than Missy's.
It was he last year who, disguised as Mike's little fan, asked for an autograph to get close, and then suddenly, on behalf of his family, Michael Oher, issued a challenge to Mike.
"No, no, no— I don't need your autograph." Sean didn't expect that after half a year, the other party would still rember him.
He knew that what he did last year was not very honorable.
After showing an awkward smile, Sean continued, "I want to tell you that Michael has undergone half a year of special training. He will definitely not lose to you in this ga."
Well, this little guy indeed had ill intentions; calling Mike over specifically was indeed still for issuing a challenge.
Because of his na, Sean had a very deep impression of Mike, who was handso and extrely popular.
After St. Mary's High lost to dford last ti, he went back and devised a strict winter training regin for his family mber, Michael Oher.
He was just waiting for an opportunity for Michael to redeem himself and defeat Mike.
"Thank you for the reminder, I'll pay attention." Mike smiled and nodded at Sean and Michael behind him, then said, "If there's nothing else, I think I should go warm up."
"This guy is really annoying..." Looking at Mike's departing back and seeing countless girls outside the field shouting his na and going crazy for him, Sean said enviously, "However, this guy is really popular... Michael, you can't lose to him later..."
"I'll do my best." Michael, standing nearby, replied with a simple smile.
At the sa ti, he had secretly decided in his heart to use all his strength in the upcoming ga to show Sean the results of his special training this winter.
It can be said that Michael, who had experienced family warmth in Sean's ho, least wanted to see his family disappointed.
anwhile, Coach Cotton, who had arranged the logistics, clapped his hands and gathered all the St. Mary's High players in front of him.
"Last year we lost to dford once, and their strength cannot be underestimated..." Coach Cotton summarized the opponent's strength, then encouraged them, "But I want to tell everyone, although the opponent's strength is strong, we are not bad either. Today is the ti to check our training results... Think about the hardships you've endured for victory..."
After a morale boost, Coach Cotton also seized the ti to arrange for the players to warm up on the field.
In the St. Mary's rest area, Sean also raised his SLR cara, recording images of Michael warming up.
It was clear that these images would beco Michael's cherished mories in the future.
Suddenly, the little guy seed to think of sothing and abruptly turned his head to ask, "Collins, do you like that guy nad Mike from the other team?"
"No, don't talk nonsense," Collins glanced at her parents not far away and quickly denied it in a low voice.
Collins, the eldest daughter of the Tuohy family, inherited her mother's beauty and was the captain of the St. Mary's High cheerleading squad.
She was also present at that ga during last year's Sumr League.
"Is that so? Then how do you explain the poster in your room?" Sean, precocious for his age, asked again.
"Keep your voice down... Don't let Mom and Dad hear..." Collins glanced at her parents not far away, then nervously tried to cover Sean's mouth.
A young girl in the first flush of love can easily beco captivated by an excellent mber of the opposite sex.
Collins, who had witnessed Mike's performance last ti, was unconsciously attracted by his unique charm.
And by chance, the girl stumbled upon Mike's poster on the street and then, as if by magic, bought one.
This matter was done very secretly, but she didn't expect her brother to find out.
Seeing his sister's blushing face, which betrayed her, Sean asked unhappily, "Then for this ga, do you support Michael or the other Mike?"
"I, I of course support my family..." Collins replied.
"You passed." Sean continued in a grown-up manner, "The other Mike, he doesn't look like a good person. Look how many girls over there are captivated by him."
Next to the dford rest area, Lina led the mbers of Mike's fan club, occupying a large open space, cheering for Mike in various ways.
And the girls who could join the fan club were all good-looking, forming a beautiful sight at this mont.
"We were never anything." Although Collins was a cheerleading captain, her personality was more conservative, and after realizing Mike's popularity, she felt a small sense of inferiority.
"Mm-hmm, I just want to remind you that handso boys can very likely be playboys; don't be deceived by their appearance." Sean shook his head, sharing his life experience with his sister.
