"All this is a misunderstanding. Coach Long Press is still recuperating at home due to heart disease. He is unable to return to work for the team until he gets permission from the doctor. We always prioritize his health and look forward to him returning to work as soon as possible at 100%.
"The controversy about Coach Noah Lu never existed."
"We look forward to Coach Pres being able to pass a physical examination next week, get a doctor's permission and return to the team, when Coach Noah will continue to serve as offensive coordinator; but until then, Coach Noah will continue to lead the team to the University of Kansas and strive for victory."
"Obviously, there was a deviation in the message transmission process, which led to unnecessary misunderstandings. Coach Noah Lu is still our offensive coordinator."
Wifald's official speech ended the entire incident, and all the turbulent protests and noise came to an end.
Misunderstanding, clarification.
Crisis, lifted.
Crowd, disband.
But the doubts did not disappear, but began to brew quietly.
As Wifald expected, his words were like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and triggering countless speculations:
Misunderstanding? Who is misunderstanding? Who is guiding public opinion? Who is creating a crisis? Who is causing trouble?
The whole thing was developing too rapidly, and most students were unable to think clearly, and then they impulsively went to their minds regardless of the situation. Now, after calming down, they gradually began to notice abnormalities, and questions began to emerge one by one. Coupled with the deliberate distortion and promotion of those who were interested, negative news gradually grew.
Is this Lu Yiqi's conspiracy? The frenzy of four consecutive victories made him complacent and arrogant, coveting the position of the head coach, so he fabricated non-existent rumors, trying to force Pres to defend him, and then wait for an opportunity to replace him? And all the crises and conspiracies were just Lu Yiqi's self-directed and acted by himself?
Rumors are surging.
However, this is just one direction of the story, and another statement has begun to emerge and has steadily seized more supporters.
This is a conspiracy! Tim Weather and Richard Giesen tried to exclude or even fire Lu Yiqi's conspiracy because Lu Yiqi refused to let him go; and compared to Lu Yiqi's hard-bodied Lu Yiqi, the more round and cunning Pres undoubtedly has more operational space.
Never underestimate the position of football head coaches. They have the right to allocate scholarships every year and can choose to give priority to the admission of potential players. Scholarships are very attractive, but what is more attractive is the potential label represented by scholarships. They can enter the scouting line before entering university, laying the groundwork for future careers.
For superiors like Weather and Richard, the trick of taking advantage of troubled waters is far more than just a scholarship.
Wifald's statement further deepened the speculation and suspicion against Weather and Richard. Many students firmly believed that they were persecuting Lu Yiqi and sacrificing the future of the team for their own interests. This waded water is more unfathomable and dirtier than the scene seen on the surface.
Indeed, the crowd gathered in the principal's office dispersed, and the rumors and noise dispersed with the wind, and seemed to have never happened; but it was precisely this illusion of calm that further reflected the surging tide, faintly brewing a second wave of storm, ready to move.
But for Lu Yiqi, it was finally a short end: Walker stayed, Jacob was quiet, and the locker room storm subsided. Although this was not the most perfect ending, it was already the best ending they could accept before the next game came.
However, when water leaves traces, if it happens, it will inevitably leave traces. Invisible does not mean that it does not exist. The Wildcats players are not robots that can be deleted at any time, and Lu Yiqi is not a "man in black" who can use machines to delete memories at any time. Eventually, the matter has left traces.
"Step up! Step up! Step up! This is a pressure tactic, not a tactic of staying in place and waiting for the lover to return! Flexible steps and speed up the strength!"
"Stand firmly! Campbell! Did you consume too much energy last night and you could just push it down? What about the strength of your feet? Power!"
"Banks! Number three! Hell God! Are there still no clear distinction between number three and number four? Do you need to learn the tactical manual from scratch?"
"Spot! Focus on it! This is a grapple showdown, not a tango teaching! Even if it is, your dance steps are terrible!"
"Damn it! Stop it! Walker! Stop it! Center of gravity moves! Pay attention to protection! The lost appearance, if you are not careful, you may be injured!"
Absent-minded!
Absent-minded!
Very bad!
The entire training ground was scattered, with loose power, deformed movements, and inaccurate tactics. From tactical training to physical training, it was like a piece of loose sand. Not to mention normal training, you may exert a little too much force, and you may get injured at any time. This is the most terrifying thing.
"Damn it! Are you collective souls wandering outside the sky? Stop! Stop all of them! If this is a normal game, you don't need to wait for the opponent to destroy! We have already raised the white flag and surrendered! None of the players in the court are online! Like a group of walking dead corpses holding a party! And it's the kind that's boring! This is not funny at all! You are betting on your bodies, your own games and your future!"
"Wake up!"
"Wild cats! All wake up! The team needs you! We have another battle to face next! What about your blood? What about your spirit? What about your will? Don't forget, what about your opponent we are about to face? Never underestimate the bald bird on the opposite side!"
Such a terrible training quality really made Lu Yiqi smoke. Then, looking at the group of dejected players in front of him, it seemed that any words had lost their strength. Even Lu Yiqi had no choice but to scold, "Stop training! Start running around the circle!"
"Let me tell you a truth: never give up! This is the spirit of competitive sports and the attitude of life! Before the whistle is blowing at the end of the game, everything has hope! Everything is possible! When you give up, you will extinguish your own possibility with your own hands!"
"Yes, you may still lose the game if you refuse to surrender! But if you choose to give up, you will definitely lose the game! The same is true for life! Don't give up until things are over! Do you understand? This is your life, this is your game! Unless you surrender yourself! No one can take away your hope!"
Lu Yiqi stood at the front of the team, shouting at the top of his lungs, pounding the player's heart word by word, and then launched a challenge.
Chapter completed!
