"Jacob, then now I'll ask you a question: Do you understand what safety does?"

At the end of the words, Lu Yiqi raised a question, the simplest and most basic question. Jacob felt that he was insulted, so he was ready to answer reflexively, but Lu Yiqi stopped him with his eyes, shook his head gently, and then slowly added it slowly.

"Thinking seriously is not about the position description of the official textbook, but about your own understanding: safety, where is the position on the field? What is the work you are responsible for? What is the relationship with your teammates? What is the relationship with your opponent? How to match the position of the tactical manual? In other words, what should safety do? What role should safety play when standing in the team?"

Questions, one after another, but in the final analysis, all return to the first one, which seems simple, but in fact it is complicated. This is also the first threshold for upgrading from basic knowledge to professional knowledge.

The most direct proof is that before high school, there were actually no strict regulations on the position of the court, and everyone wanted to play quarterbacks because quarterbacks were stars, but they all needed to be assigned by the coach, and then some players had to play in positions they didn't like at all.

During college, the court position was relatively clear and clear, but players played guest appearances in different positions, players changed their stadium positions, and even players switched from defensive team to offensive team positions, which still existed objectively; and there were a few talented players who also took into account multiple sports events, rugby, baseball, basketball, and so on, which seemed to be unqualified. The halo of multi-stars made them think they were all-round fighters.

However, this situation is basically completely eliminated in professional arena, with each carrot and a pit. Moreover, compared with other collective sports such as football or basketball, the position of the rugby stadium is more professional and more fixed. Each position has its own characteristics and cannot be changed easily.

Even the subtle changes from the inside linebacker to the outside linebacker, or from the defensive tackle to the defensive end are different.

Just like Lu Yiqi's example, this is a process of "professional promotion". From high school to university, to graduate students, to doctoral and postdoctoral students, the research scope is becoming narrower, more professional, more advanced, and so is rugby.

Jacob did not understand the meaning of safety and safety at all, so his talents and abilities could not be exerted. This is his first lesson.

Jacob's mind was full of question marks. He thought he had been rolling in the safety position for many years, and this was the most suitable position for him. However, when facing Lu Yiqi's question, he could not make any sound. He was so unfamiliar, as if he had only been in contact with rugby for the first time today.

Lu Yiqi is not surprised at all. Sometimes, we don’t necessarily have to really understand the whole picture in a lifetime. “You can calm down and think about it first, watch the game video, and ask your teammates; after that, I suggest you ask Coach Leonard and Coach Robert.”

Frank Leonard (frank-leonard), safety coach.

There is also David Robert. Although he is a linebacker coach, his theoretical knowledge base is very solid, especially the knowledge of the entire defensive team, which completely inherits Latimer's mantle.

Compared to Lu Yiqi, Leonard and Robert are more suitable guides, and his foundation in defensive tactics is still relatively weak.

The head coach is not omnipotent, no one is omnipotent, everyone has their own strengths and development, which is also the importance of teamwork.

Although Lu Yiqi also hopes to guide Jacob himself and tame this unruly wild horse so that Jacob's talent can be used by the team - don't forget that last time Lu Yiqi led the team to change speed, except for Nelson, he and Walker were both players who followed the final. If Walker gritted his teeth and persevered to the end with his unyielding will, then Jacob did it with his physical talent.

But the defense foundation is indeed not Lu Yiqi's strength.

"Head-coach" can actually be understood simply and bluntly as the brain, responsible for division of labor and cooperation, thinking integration and overall control of the bureau. According to their own needs, the work will be assigned to offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators and professionals from various positions to form group cooperation and complete the team's command and operation.

What the head coach needs is global thinking, which is also the biggest difference between the head coach and the offensive coordinator and the defensive coordinator. Lu Yiqi is adapting to learning.

The same is true for not only the coaching staff, but also for players.

In fact, the Wildcats have more than 100 players, and they will not lack substitutes. Lu Yiqi can completely ignore Jacob and completely break up with Jacob, then refrigerate Jacob, punish Jacob severely and Richard, and use this method to declare his authority.

But Lu Yiqi did not do this: the authority of the "temporary" head coach is only one of the reasons. He does not want to further anger Richard and cause unnecessary chaos. These off-court disturbances will only interfere with the team's subsequent games; and the more important reason is that he does not want and does not need it.

Jacob's talent cannot be considered top-notch, but it is indeed precious among the Wildcats with average talent. If it can be fully utilized, it will be an important addition to the second half of the season.

In the past, Jacob was not taught, and he was like a thorn. Lu Yiqi did not spend any effort to train slowly, and the team had more important things. Now Jacob came to the door on his own initiative, which was just a small task for Lu Yiqi, so he patiently gave Jacob some directorship.

After the comments were finished, Lu Yiqi looked at Jacob sincerely, waiting for his follow-up questions.

Jacob couldn't answer, and then Lu Yiqi gave him a step. He stopped showing off. He walked down, nodded, and said nothing more. He turned around and left in a daze.

After taking two steps, Jacob turned around again, his eyes flashed slightly, and hesitated, "Coach, I really hope Walker can recover as soon as possible."

"I will convey your blessings to him." Lu Yiqi nodded with a smile.

Jacob seemed to have taken off a burden on his shoulder, turned around again, and then jogged away.

Augustus, who was standing next to him, deliberately sneezing, mixed with his own complaints, "Good man." This obviously pointed to Lu Yiqi.

Lu Yiqi smiled calmly, "You can say it straight, it doesn't matter. I'm just pretending to be a good man, first buy this young man well, then become his spiritual mentor, and his best guide. What do you think Mr. Richard Giesen?"

"..." Brock felt that he had suffered a critical hit of 100,000 points. He was still deeply moved just now and thought of a touching plot of "Spring Breeze and Rain". Then what happened to the plot that turned sharply?

Augustus was not surprised and curled his lips, "You are cruel!"
