Chapter 437 Big Brawl?
"Buzzing..."
At night, under the lights, the MetLife Stadium was packed, and more than 8 sweaty fans made a huge noise.
During the summer heat wave in August, there was a restless factor in the air, and the whole stadium was on fire.
Yang Yi also flooded into this huge stadium with the flow of people. Zhao Dong arranged for him to be a team reporter for the Jets. He could enter the Jets training base for interviews at any time. Of course, he could also enter the arena for free. His position is at The media seats, like the NBA, are at both ends of the field.
Facing the atmosphere that was about to burn in the stadium, he couldn't help sighing: "Unfortunately, no one in China understands this sport. It would be great if Zhao Dong changed his profession to play football."
On TNT's on-site commentary booth, there were two commentators, one was white Cecil Nobby, and the other was black Philo Lars. At this time, the central topic of their commentary was Zhao Dong.
"Feilong chose No. 1, Philo, do you know what that means?" Nobby asked.
"I don't know, just tell me." Lars said with a smile.
"I knew you didn't know. This is a very profound question. The reason why he chose No. 1 is because this number is at the top, haha!" Nobby joked.
"The reason is like an idiot. I'm talking about you, not Feilong." Lars said with a smile.
"Okay, getting back to the point, Philo, the preseason is an opportunity to be a substitute, but tonight will be broadcast live across the United States. I believe Coach Herman Edwards will not hold down all the main players. Then you think that Feilong, who is a substitute, has a chance Play?" Nobby asked.
"Um……"
Russ pondered for a while, and said: "I think so, Dragon is a world-class super sports superstar after all, I even think he will start his first official NFL game as a main force, and the preseason game is also an official game. "
"The main force?"
Nobby curled his lips, shook his head and said, "I don't think so. If Flying Dragon is allowed to play as the main force, what will the New York Jets' substitutes who are looking forward to play think? They will say, look, someone with worse strength than me actually Became the main force, just because he is famous? You know, it will affect the morale and the unity of the locker room."
Russ shrugged: "Some people may think so, but I think Dragon is still very likely to appear in his first official NFL game as a main force."
"Want to bet?" Nobby laughed.
"OK, if you lose, you will eat three giant burgers. The winner will pay, and it will be the same with me." Lars laughed.
"Damn, do you want to support yourself?"
Nobby laughed and cursed, took out a stack of dollar bills from his pocket, found a hundred-dollar bill, slapped it on the table, and shouted with a smile: "Look, the money for the hamburger has been given to you!" Ready."
"I'm ready too."
Russ also took out a dollar bill and threw it on the table.
"Oh, look, Jordan's NBA stars have appeared, are they cheering for the dragon?" Nobby shouted loudly at this time.
At this time, Jordan and Barkley and a group of NBA stars appeared on the stands of the arena, attracting the attention of fans and commentators.
In the locker room of the home team, coach Edwards is arranging the special team list.
Generally speaking, the main lineup of NFL teams is not fixed, and even the lineup will be adjusted in each offense.
For example, if you want to play different offensive formations, the lineup must be adjusted. Players are specialized, and the average player is not good at multiple positions, such as running back, sometimes only one, sometimes two, wide receiver also the same.
The offense is the same, and the defense is the same. According to tactical changes, the number of linebackers and cornerbacks is sometimes different.
At the very beginning of the game, kick-off was the job of the special team, so this team was the first to be arranged.
In the special team, the three positions cannot be assumed by the substitutes of other offensive and defensive teams. Among them, the returner is particularly important and is a fixed player.
The New York Jets have two returners, the main force is Lex Techinem, and the backup is Winston John.
It just so happened that these two guys were not on the right track with Zhao Dong.
Head coach Edwards finished reading the names of ten people, and there was only one returner left. At this time, Winston John looked closely at Edwards, hoping that the head coach could read his name.
This is a preseason game, and even if the main players play, they only play a small amount of time. Tehinem generally does not play preseason games, and he has a chance to start.
However, the name Edwards spit out was not him, but Zhao Dong.
"Zhao Dong?"
He was startled for a moment, but didn't realize it. Does the team have this person?
But soon he realized that this was Feilong's damn Chinese name, and he couldn't help but get furious. Hu stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "Coach, why do you want him to fight back as an attacker?"
Edwards narrowed his eyes, flashed a cold light, and asked coldly, "John, what do you want to do?"
He has only been in the Jets for one season, and he has no foundation here. He has never served as a head coach before, and he has no achievements, so what he hates the most is this kind of disobedient player.
Seeing Edwards questioning him, Winston John also softened. After all, he is just a player and a substitute for the special team. He has no status in the team. He immediately lowered his voice by eight, explaining:
"Coach, I just want to say that the position of returner is the most professional. No team has ever arranged for other players to play this position..."
"To shut up!"
Edwards didn't want to listen to John's explanation at all, and angrily said: "You idiot, are you teaching me how to coach?"
"..."
Winston John opened his mouth and looked back at the main returner Lex Techinem with his head downcast.
"gentlemen……"
Lex Techinem stood up.
He hates yellow people and thinks it's the color of shit, but it doesn't show too much on Zhao Dong, but now Edwards wants Zhao Dong to fight back, which will violate his interests, so he has to come forward Prevent.
"I hope to play tonight," he said.
"Shet!"
Edwards was pissed off. You didn't want to play in the preseason last year, but you did want to play this year. Why is this against me?
But he can scold Winston John, but he can't treat Lex Techinem so toughly, because this is the team's main returner, even if he is to be traded, it will not be possible for a while, and the regular season It's about to start.
The reason why he wanted Zhao Dong to play back as an attacker in the special team tonight was also explained by the boss and the general manager. He must let Feilong appear at the Metropolitan Stadium as soon as possible, and try to arrange a bright spot. The returner is the most outstanding position of the special team.
Although he didn't arrange for Zhao Dong to play the returner in the previous half month of training, Zhao Dong can play the running back with full impact and his route running skills are not bad, so the returner can barely try, anyway It's preseason, it doesn't matter, he just arranged it like that.
But now that he was reprimanded by Lex Techinem, he was a little too angry to speak.
That is to say, he has no foundation in the Jets, and he has no qualifications for the position of head coach. If he were replaced by an experienced head coach, Lex Techinem would never dare to be so presumptuous and would be suppressed to death. Could be benched for the entire contract.
Zhao Dong sat in his seat, looking calmly at Lex Techinem and Winston John next to him.
As the first Chinese to enter the NFL, or even the first Chinese to enter the NFL, he understands that in this locker room, in the entire NFL league, there are many people who hate him, and it can even be said that a thousand NFL Player, at least [-] people will hate him, he is an anomaly in the NFL.
There have always been only whites and blacks here. This is their world. This place is a hundred times more violent than the NBA. They exclude each other and unite to exclude others.
Even among the more than 30 players united by his side, there must be such people, but out of interest, they temporarily stood by his side.
Here, as a Chinese, the law of survival he faces is not the survival of the fittest, but the survival of the strong. Even if he is one of the richest people in the world, in this world full of racial discrimination and violence, this is how it is. Rules await him.
But so what?
Those who refuse to accept, either directly lie on the ground, or use their strength to conquer them in the future, and they still have to lie at his feet, that's all.
"coach……"
And now, it was time for him to make a statement, and he stood up.
Edwards is arranging opportunities for him. At this time, he has to express his support for the head coach.
"Feilong, what do you want to say?" Edwards asked.
He was reluctant to accept Zhao Dong at first, because Zhao Dong's status was too unusual, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
But then Zhao Dong showed his potential and his professional attitude, so now he completely accepts Zhao Dong.
And if he can get the support of Zhao Dong, with Zhao Dong's status in the locker room and his influence on the boss and management, then his coaching in the New York Jets will definitely be smoother.
Zhao Dong smiled and said: "I can actually play the position of returner in the special team. Thank you coach for giving me this opportunity."
"what?"
Edwards was taken aback.
Zhao Dong's words directly placed his position just now on the ground.
But Zhao Dong's words angered Lex Techinem, who suddenly lost his temper, rushed forward a few steps, pointed at Zhao Dong and said furiously: "Chinese, what ability do you have to fight back the attacker? You Does it match?"
"boom!"
The door of the locker room was slammed open, and Zhao Dong's bodyguard captain, Roger Hanks, strode in.
His face was grim, his eyes scanned the locker room coldly, and then locked on Lex Techinem's face.
Behind him, there are the other eleven bodyguards, all of them filed in.
The task Mrs. Lindsay gave them was to ensure the absolute safety of Zhao Dong. They could even shoot and kill anyone who endangered Zhao Dong off the court.
And they also got the guarantee from Mrs. Lindsay that if something like that happens, they will get the best legal defense and an astronomical compensation.
Being watched by Zhao Dong's bodyguards, Lex Techinem felt a chill in his heart, and he immediately thought of Venice.
Venice is still lying in the hospital now, and has become a disabled person.
Under the tremendous pressure, his furious psychology melted away in an instant, and his sanity returned. He subconsciously took a few steps back, sat back on the bench, and lowered his head in frustration.
"Who else objects?"
Zhao Dong glanced coldly at the locker room, mainly the twenty players who were not standing beside him.
Although he said that he would not use his identity to win the main position, but use his strength to win the position, but so what?
I'm back on my word now, I just want the main position, if you don't accept me, I'll kill you first.
The atmosphere in the locker room is very tense. It can be said that no one here is easy to provoke. They are all guys with muscles and brains. Fighting is like drinking water. Zhao Dong's words can be said to provoke all those who oppose and hate him.
His words directly stimulated the nerves of these people. They are all guys who discriminate against Zhao Dong's Chinese identity. At this time, everyone was furious, their eyes were red, and their brains were congested. They suddenly stood up from their seats and squeezed their fists. Tighten up, stare at Zhao Dong fiercely, and may pounce on him at any time.
The thirty or so players of Zhao Dong's team also made a choice at this time, and they all walked behind Zhao Dong.
Boom boom boom, Zhao Dong's twelve bodyguards rushed over quickly at this moment, blocked in front of him, divided into three rows, and set up three lines of defense.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the locker room is about to explode, and a large-scale brawl involving all players is likely to start immediately.
"Security! Security!"
Edwards saw it badly, turned his head and yelled at the outside.
Boom boom, twenty or thirty security personnel from the New York Jets rushed in again. No matter how big the locker room was, it was overcrowded, and several trash cans and benches were overturned.
"Back! Back! Sit down..."
According to Edwards' instructions, the Jets' security staff stood in front of the nearly twenty players, stretched out their hands and pushed them, trying to force them to sit back.
Those twenty people, including Kanes Lewis, and Lex Teshenem and Winston John just now, at this moment you look at me and I look at you, so they can only grit their teeth and sit back on the bench .
They haven't lost their last sanity yet, because there are too few people to do it, so they can only hold back their breath.
Edwards and the coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief seeing the guys sit down.
They have been in this league for many years. Although Edwards is the head coach for the first time, he is also a veteran. This kind of large-scale brawl has happened many times in the history of the league, every year, and even for this reason. Players were killed in brawls and many were injured.
Like the last time when Zhao Dong beat three people in Venice, although all three were disabled, the scope was not too big, it was just a small fight, and if there was a big fight this time, if there were a lot of casualties, the management would definitely not be able to hide it. Going on, once it is exposed, the problem is still very serious, and it is best if it does not happen.
At this time, the management got the news and rushed to the locker room. When they arrived, the atmosphere in the locker room was as hard as a rock.
General manager Maureen Phillips is very calm, because he has enough mental preparation for the internal reaction that Zhao Dong may cause when he joins the Jets.
As an old man in the league, he knows the environment of the league too well. At the same time, after working in the Jets for so many years, he also knows the internal environment of the team too well.
He can be sure that if Zhao Dong joins the Jets, the locker room will not be quiet and will be targeted.
Because among the Jets players, there must be a lot of brainless racists.
Even he himself can be regarded as, he particularly hates Latino people, doesn't like people of yellow race, and black people don't like it very much either, if Zhao Dong's identity is different and he was his boss, his attitude towards Zhao Dong is different. would be so good.
Now, he has to make a decision.
"Stupid donkeys, listen to me..."
He glanced at all the players with a cold face, including the thirty or so players around Zhao Dong, and shouted in a stern voice:
"Who dares to make trouble again, during the entire contract period, he is not even eligible to be a substitute, nor is he even eligible to participate in training. I will smash his head, pull out his brains and stuff it into his asshole. Understand?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to speak at this time, Philip is the very senior general manager of the Jets, who holds the power of life and death of the players, who would dare to provoke him?
"Do you understand?"
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Philip became even more furious, like a tyrant, and only his roar remained in the entire locker room.
"clear."
Only then did everyone reply, even Zhao Dong shouted.
Under Philip's strong suppression, the locker room of the New York Jets calmed down temporarily.
