The sparring team was a little overwhelmed.
In the final analysis, there is still a gap in strength. Even if the opponent is only in the third tier, the difference between being on the list and being off the list is still real in life now.
In the first confrontation, the training team relied on Lu Ke's shocking long pass to successfully score a touchdown. This not only brought confidence to the offensive team, but also brought confidence to the defensive team, and the morale was high. ,Outstanding. In this situation of ebb and flow, Kevin's performance in the third tier has always been poor, and his offense has been repeatedly frustrated. This has brought more advantages to the training team.
However, as the game progressed, the gap in strength finally became apparent. After Kevin corrected his mentality, the strength of the third quarterback was still displayed, and the advancement efficiency was obviously better than that of the training team. Gradually, the balance of advantage began to reverse.
Starting at the 3rd minute and 11 seconds of the game, and continuing until the 6th minute and 42 seconds of the game, Kevin continued to advance ten yards and steadily reached the 16-yard line of the opponent's court. The sparring team was losing ground, but here it finally came. He became tougher, defended two passing attacks, and blocked the third running attack, successfully keeping the opponent here. But the third echelon still successfully scored a free kick, and the score reached "3:7".
At the 11th minute and 45 seconds of the game, Kevin found his touch again and successfully connected with the third-tier wide receiver. After completing a 23-yard run, he successfully scored a touchdown and then completed the extra point, completing the lead. "10:7".
Today's practice match only lasted fifteen minutes, which meant that there were only three minutes and fifteen seconds left for the sparring team. Lu Ke led the training team to play again. He tried a long pass for the first time, but failed. He was almost intercepted by his opponent. Obviously, after experiencing the first long pass, the opponent also began to guard against Lu Ke's sneak attack. . In desperation, Lu Ke could only move forward steadily and down-to-earth.
Although Lu Ke's short passing accuracy and medium passing accuracy are only 64 points, it is still barely enough in practice matches. The most important thing is that he is not fighting alone. Derek played well today. He is brave and has excellent rushing effect on several occasions. He often helps Lu Ke in critical moments. The balance between passing and running disrupted the defensive rhythm of the third echelon, which allowed the training team to complete each ten-yard advance dangerously, reaching around the thirty-yard line in the opponent's field.
At this time, it has entered the free kick range. As long as the special teams team can kick a free kick, the game will be evenly divided between the two teams. This is tantamount to victory for the sparring team.
However, things are not that simple. There is now one minute and 43 seconds left in the game. If they score a free kick now, it means that the third tier has at least a minute or so to launch an attack, and the decision of victory or defeat lies in the hands of the opponent.
What's more, everyone in the training team clearly knows that in this practice match, a tie or a loss is meaningless to them. Only by winning can they enter the coaching staff's sight and break through. The barrier between sparring players and official team members.
They have to attack.
Lu Ke looked at his teammates around him with firm eyes. They have no coach, only the quarterback, and only themselves. After the exchange of glances, Derek was the first to hold his fist, "Then continue the attack!" Then John, and then others, everyone nodded, looking at each other. At the same time, it fell on Lu Ke.
"What? Are they going to continue attacking?" The players standing on the sidelines were stunned again. As long as the free kick is scored, it means a tie. This is an unimaginable victory for the training team, but they don't know yet. Sufficient, actually continue to attack? Is this preparation...to give it a go and move towards victory?
Kevin spat to the side, "You overestimated your abilities. You're a hot-headed jackass." He stared at Lu Ke in the field with disdain, but his body language revealed his inner nervousness. , the muscles of the hands wrapped around the chest were completely tense, clenched tightly into fists, and the joints turned white.
A mere sparring player was lucky enough to pass a touchdown pass, and it was entirely because of John! First, John caught an incredible pass, and then John got rid of the defense and completed the touchdown. It had nothing to do with that guy; if John's talent hadn't flashed in an instant, let alone the touchdown, he didn't even pass the ball. Might be done. Now, this clown actually wants to complete the fatal blow and become a hero?
A fantasy!
Kevin grinded his teeth so hard that his chest almost exploded.
Standing on the court, Lu Ke was focused and undistracted, directing the arrangement of the offensive line, and then started the attack again. In the first short pass, a defensive player saw through the intention and knocked the football away. Fortunately, it did not result in an interception. The second time he made a comeback, he tried to pass the ball and aimed at John, but the accuracy of the result was deviated. Half an arm's length away from John, the pass was incomplete.
Two offenses failed to advance a single yard. They were still standing on the thirty-yard line with ten yards to complete. The previous two offenses had not been able to complete the ten yards, and now there was only one chance. The task was far more difficult than imagined.
Lu Ke gasped for air. Twice in a row, the opponent's defensive players broke through the offensive line and hit him hard, as if he had hit a high-speed bus head-on.
The system's score is obviously correct, but his accuracy in short and medium passes is still too bad. In the trial training as a freshman, he was never able to successfully complete the pass. His talent for the ball was limited, and his physical confrontation ability was still insufficient. Therefore, he was only used as a sparring partner, not even qualified as a substitute. Long passes can lead to victory, but short and medium passes are the core of the game.
At this moment, Lu Ke realizes this more clearly than anyone else: the offensive line cannot give him enough time to complete the long pass. After the intention of catching the ball is seen through by the defensive player, the long pass only allows the opponent to easily destroy the pass. It's just about catching the ball, completing defense, and even making interceptions.
He needs short to medium passes. But it failed twice in a row.
Lu Ke knows that he is still far from a qualified quarterback, but that doesn't mean he will surrender. After taking a long breath and raising his head, Lu Ke saw those expectant eyes. This was just a practice match, but he could feel the weight of trust pressing heavily on his shoulders. They are a team, they fight side by side, they trust each other, and they will win together!
"Guys, I have an idea!" Lu Ke called everyone over and quickly completed the tactical arrangement. No one questioned Lu Ke's arrangement, and no one hesitated about Lu Ke's tactics. After the instructions were completed, everyone turned around and walked to their positions. They are just a group of sparring partners that no one believes in and no one pays attention to. All they have is themselves and each other.
Lu Ke stood behind Tewen again, looking sharply at the defensive lineup in front of him. The opponent no longer looked down upon him, but concentrated all his attention. Lu Ke could even see that many of the opponent's players were paying attention. Locked on themselves, obviously, they still regard the quarterback as their first target.
"attack!"
Lu Ke shouted loudly, feeling the touch of the football in his hand, and then the whole team rushed forward. Lu Ke grabbed the football, took two steps back, raised his right hand and was about to pass the ball. The defensive players on the opposite side acted as expected. Generally, spread out, only two players are sent to attack the offensive line, and all other players are guarding the receivers and tight ends——
The last offensive opportunity needed to advance ten yards. Passing the ball is the best option and the fastest option. In the tactics of college students, there are not as many roundabout intrigues as in professional leagues. The entire tactical system is relatively simple, so they made a judgment. And in this judgment, Lu Ke was right.
Lu Ke turned around and threw the football to Derek. Derek hugged the football and charged forward like a bull.
The opponent only had two defensive players attacking the offensive line of the training team, a full five-person offensive line. Therefore, the five members of the training team blocked the two opponents tightly and pushed directly to both sides. A Roman avenue appeared.
Derek rushed forward, avoiding his teammates and others who were trying to rush over. He rushed forward and then rushed forward.
The other defensive players in the third tier finally realized Derek's intentions, and the defensive net immediately began to shrink. Although the wide receivers and tight ends of the training team tried their best to stop the defensive players, the opponents were scattered in the outfield waiting for defensive passes. The players still accounted for the majority, and the numerical advantage easily completed the siege.
After Derek rushed out, the encirclement quickly narrowed, and the last two players pinned Derek down, ending this successful ball-running attack.
The unexpected tactical choice allowed Derek to break through the defensive front and achieve a large number of yards. All the players in the training team were excited, the offensive team on the court and the defensive team off the court were cheering; the players in the third tier had expressions on their faces and couldn't believe their eyes.
The highlight of an offense lies in Derek's running of the ball, and even more so in Lu Ke's tactical arrangements! At the right time, he chose the right tactics, and at the same time placed himself and his teammates in the right positions, without excessive heroism or hot-headed blind choices, and achieved an incredible breakthrough. The brains of the team is well-deserved.
But the question is: Did Derrick complete the required ten yards?
All eyes were directed towards it. Anthony was responsible for being the referee of this game. He made a simple measurement, sighed softly deep in his heart, but calmed down and said loudly, "There is still one yard left. !”
Derek completed nine yards, with one yard left. Now, only the final fourth offensive opportunity is left. So, how should we choose? 46
