Chapter 606 606 Family Gathering

"Sorry, Charlize, can you help me get another bottle of beer? Thank you, thank you very much." Old Jack was sitting on the sofa with a bright smile on his face and shouted at Charlize who was busy in the kitchen. Then he watched Charlize come over with two bottles of beer and put it on the coffee table. Old Jack expressed his gratitude again.

Charlize looked at the kind old Jack, and a smile appeared on her face, "It's just a little effort." When she stood up, she secretly looked at Hugo. The two people's eyes were intertwined. Charlize seemed to be asking, "Are you okay?" The light of her eyes was obviously pointing at Adam sitting on the other side of the sofa.

Hugo curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said that he was fine, which made Charlize breathe a sigh of relief, and then walked towards the kitchen with a relaxed smile.

This year's Christmas is indeed very lively. Not only did Taylor's family come, but Adam's family comes, and Charlize and Alex don't go home because they have a job at the end of the year. Carl stays. Instead, the other team members who have glorious to death abandon Hugo and run to Canada to attend an underground rock party, which also makes the home very lively.

Molly Taylor led his wife Michelle, Samora, who had a great cooking skills, and Charlize, who helped him get started, was preparing for the Christmas dinner, while others who couldn't help were sitting in the hall, enjoying the thrilling football Christmas battle.

Rugby is known as the national sport of the United States. Whether it is basketball that is attracting attention from all over the world, baseball with a wide mass base, or world sports football, it cannot match the charm of rugby in the United States. American football is the real overlord.

Every time a football game is broadcast, all other TV programs have to stand aside, and the ratings are completely easy to complete. The Super Bowl showdown in February is known as the "American Spring Festival Gala". The Super Bowl in February attracted the attention of 130 million viewers in the United States. Michael Jackson, who is responsible for the midfield performance, has created the highest ratings in TV history, attracting 1.5 billion viewers worldwide. This record has not been broken even in 2014.

There are four major professional leagues in the United States, namely ice hockey, baseball, basketball and rugby. Among them, only rugby can be truly a national madness. In addition to the Super Bowl, football is also a ratings frenzy on Thanksgiving and Christmas games, which can be regarded as a place for the whole family to have fun. Since the Major League Baseball (MLB) ended in October and the National Hockey League (NHL) was on the quit at Christmas, only the American Basketball League (NBA) and the National Football League (NFL) have a Christmas battle.

But even the NBA, which is popular all over the world, still has to retreat in front of NFL. Although NBA arranges Christmas battles every year and arranges particularly exciting duels, the game time is often early and usually ends before 8 o'clock. The professional arrangement is to stagger the NFL Christmas battle that starts at 8:20 o'clock!

However, NFL is a little special. Its game days are usually Saturday and Sunday. Later, there was a Thursday night game due to Thanksgiving. However, the 25th of Christmas every year cannot be determined. This also makes NFL's Christmas battle "inaccurate" and will only occur when Christmas is a weekend.

This year's Christmas is Saturday, so the NFL Christmas Battle was born. The reason why the Christmas Battle is so exciting is that the NFL regular season usually ends in December, the playoffs begin in January, and the final winner enters the King of the Super Bowl in February. In other words, if the Christmas Battle can be held, it is the last week of the regular season or the second to last week, which plays a decisive role in the competition for playoff tickets, and is often extremely tragic.

This year's Christmas battle is even more exciting. The two teams against Houston Oilers and San Francisco 49ers. Both teams are top teams in the league and are competing for the championship positions in their respective divisions. At the same time, both are strong contenders for the Super Bowl, which makes this Christmas battle look more like a battle of kings.

"Oh, shit!", "God kill!"... A group of sad voices rang everywhere, obviously very dissatisfied with the team's performance just now, and Hugo almost jumped up, "Yang is sure he knows what he is doing? He completely made the shotgun formation just now look like a joke, shit!"

Hugo's words were recognized by a circle of people around him, and Alex picked them up and kept waving them with beer, "Is he sleepwalking now? Does he know who his opponent is? Grass, wake up, Steve, please, who saves this lost little lamb, he is simply terrible."

What they are discussing now is Steve Young, the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. The San Francisco 49ers are currently one of the league's old strong teams. They have won the Super Bowl four times. They strive to win the NFC West Championship this year for the third consecutive year and win a better position for the playoffs. However, their opponent Houston Oilers is stronger. Today's game was very hard, and Steve Young made consecutive mistakes, which made people swear.

In fact, the performance of the Houston Oilers today is also very bad. It is estimated that the huge pressure of the Christmas battle has far exceeded the regular season level, and it is even more tense than in the playoffs. This makes the performance of both teams not good, and the scene looks messy and makes people feel helpless. But it is precisely because of this that they hope that the team they support, the San Francisco 49ers, can stand up.

Los Angeles does not seem to be so passionate about its own football team. The Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Raiders have only a handful of games at home in Angels City. In fact, the main reason is that Los Angeles does not like football. They are also crazy about football. The college league and high school league football teams are sought after, and the college league game attendance rate even exceeds that of the NFL team. The main reason is that Los Angeles is a famous immigrant city, and the residents here are more willing to be their own team, while Los Angeles does not have a native football team, which is a flaw.

Relatively speaking, the 49ers stationed in San Francisco since 1946 have won the hearts of many California fans. Especially in today's game, the opponent was Houston, Texas, so all the men in the house fell to support the 49ers in San Francisco.

Faced with Hugo and Alex's impatience, Adam couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "You should look at the pocket protection. The protection just now was too bad, and there was no time to give Steve to think..."

"Yes, this is my key point. The focus of the shotgun formation is to ask the quarterback to pass the ball, and the running back will not use it directly. Then the quarterback should focus heavily before passing the ball, rather than looking around in panic after receiving the ball." Hugo said depressedly. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Steve Young's performance just now.

Sure enough, Adam was helpless when Hugo said this. He could only say, "The two quarterbacks are in a bad state today. We need to see their running balls. Maybe we will rely on running balls to decide the outcome today."

"Hell God." Hugo also agreed with Adam's words and complained depressedly.

After traveling to the United States, Hugo had another special gain, that is, he has become one of the fanatical crowds of rugby. In fact, he had watched very unpopular rugby in China before, but he was not crazy. He would watch games when he had time, but he would not abandon other things for the sake of the game and wait for the live broadcast. For example, in the Super Bowl, Hugo only watched three live broadcasts before traveling through time. But now it is different. The football atmosphere in the United States is indeed very strong, and it is worthy of being the most popular sport. The popularity rate of the whole nation is very high. He even plays two games as a leisure activity, just like the throwing ball in baseball.

From childhood to being interested in football, Hugo relied on this interest to truly integrate himself into this cultural society. Of course, the profound impact that Lancaster had on Chen Hugo after the complete integration of his soul cannot be ignored.

Although Hugo and Adam were quarreling just now, unexpectedly, the communication between the two people has increased, which is really rare. Before this, Hugo was worried about how he should communicate with Adam. Otherwise, every time the two people call, they will be silent, and even if they are not embarrassed, they will become embarrassing. It is very necessary for any two people to become intimate.

Today, Hugo accidentally discovered that football might become the bridge, so that the topics of his and Adam's future will be much richer, which is also one of the biggest gains of the Christmas war.

"My guys, it's time for dinner! The game has just started three minutes, and you started roaring here. So what are you going to do when you enter the fourth quarter?" Molly came over in person and greeted everyone. Obviously, she had long been used to such a scene.

Sure enough, the San Francisco 49ers returned in vain and ended up being a punt, which made the men start to get angry again, and then they were pulled by Molly towards the restaurant. Adam was there and said, "Steve's pass was really bad today, but the pass was not made. It was really a mess."
