The commentators rushed to express their opinions. It was bustling and lively, and countless radio waves reverberated over North America.
At the same time, Lu Ke led his teammates into battle again. Those doubts, those discussions, and those provocations meant nothing to Lu Ke. On the field, there is no room for distraction.
After the tactics were laid out, the offensive line formed up above the starting offensive line of twenty yards. Running back Anthony Dixon was still confirming with Lu Ke, but he couldn't speak. He just widened his eyes and spread his hands to signal. After a moment, he expressed his confusion. After all, the tacit understanding between Lu Ke and Dixon was still lacking. In desperation, Lu Ke could only shout, "20, 20, 20, hold on, 20."
Twenty yards, this is the starting position of their offense. Generally speaking, it is used to indicate to the running back that you will run the ball on this offense. But Lu Ke shouted "hold on" and pressed down with both hands. This signaled: You are ready to catch the ball, but I will read the defense and wait for the opportunity. Don't rush to catch the ball directly. It may be a fake run and a real pass.
Dixon finally understood and nodded repeatedly.
As a result, Dixon stood seven yards behind the offensive line and was ready to start sprinting. When running the ball, the running back needs bulldozer-like energy, and naturally needs more running space, and Search for space to run the ball through.
Then, Lu Ke stood behind Jonathan Goodwin. Without raising his head at all, he caught a provocative figure in his peripheral vision. Richard Sherman, Richard Sherman again.
After the first attack just now, Lu Ke didn't notice Richard's figure at all. In the space of the whole court, Logan ran out of the gap. He didn't hesitate and simply chose to pass the ball. As for Richard, he had no thought, no fear, no challenge.
But apparently, Richard didn't think so. His eyes widened, like two protruding glass beads, and then he made various grimaces and shouted cheerfully, "Bambi, Bambi, Bambi. Bambi is scared, go home and look for him." Mom. Mom is not at home and there is only the big bad wolf. What should we do?" After saying that, he turned around, twisted his butt towards Lu Ke, then quickly retreated, stood in his defensive position, and entered the defensive state again. .
A provocation was a provocation, but Richard did not relax his vigilance at all.
With just a quick glance from the corner of his eye, Lu Ke immediately noticed the change in defensive formation: five in the front and six in the back.
Strictly speaking, in fact, the overall defensive formation has not undergone earth-shaking changes. There are still seven defensive players in the first half, but the formation has been changed, with four in the front and three in the back. In other words, four players attack the offensive line, and they increase their impact. The strength of the quarterback, three players covering the rushing and short passing areas, and the entire defensive center of gravity shifted forward.
In the second half, there are still four defensive players, two cornerbacks and two safeties, defending passes in the backfield. However, their position was obviously moved forward, with two cornerbacks and a safety standing at the twenty-five-yard line, leaving the other safety roaming at the thirty-five-yard line.
As a result, the entire defensive formation became "4-3-3-1", but a player on the second line moved forward to join the four players on the front line, and then the formation evolved into "5 -2-3-1”.
The Seahawks still let go of the entire backcourt, seemingly not worried about Lu Ke sneaking in another long pass. However, they have obviously accumulated a large number of troops on the front line, and their intention to attack the offensive line and pressure the quarterback is very obvious——
Under enough pressure, the quarterback has no time to choose a long pass route calmly, and the possibility of a long pass is cut off at the source; he may even directly sack the quarterback and stifle this offense.
In an instant, Lu Ke decided on the offensive tactics.
The loudspeaker issued a series of commands, and tight end Logan Newman and wide receiver Ted Ginn, who were originally standing on both sides, shrank back and positioned themselves on both sides of the offensive line. The entire offensive line immediately became hoarded. There were seven people, with two wide receivers, Michael Crabtree and Kyle Williams, standing on the left and right sides.
Crabtree and Williams were both draft picks by the San Francisco 49ers, the former a first-round pick in 2009 and the latter a sixth-round pick in 2010.
However, neither player had much opportunity to perform before this year.
Crabtree was a thorn in the side. He spent most of his first year on strike, on the bench, and as a substitute. After one-third of the season, he signed a rookie contract and officially played, scoring seven touchdowns. The performance of the team was quite satisfactory; the latter's lack of ability resulted in never being able to gain trust, let alone a chance to perform.
From the offensive line to the receivers, the San Francisco 49ers are indeed an extremely young team with no big names or stars. Tight end Vernon Davis is almost the most famous player in the entire offensive group, but he was benched by Jim Harbaugh because of insufficient chemistry.
To a certain extent, this is a good thing for Lu Ke. He does not have the burden of selecting passing targets and can choose according to his own ideas.
After the tactical change, Lu Ke announced the kickoff without waiting for the Seahawks' defensive team to react.
Jonathan steadily passed the football to Lu Ke, stepped back, and distanced himself. Dixon sprinted up and stretched out his hand to hand over, but at the moment of handover, Lu Ke quickly retracted his right hand and continued to hold the ball. Dixon understood, pretended to hug the football, and sprinted forward.
This is a fake and true biography.
The Seahawks were like a tiger ducking down and a dam opening. A raging torrent rushed over. Five players rushed to the front line, two players defended the short passing area, two players defended the intermediate passing area, and one player quickly retreated to join. Another teammate started to defend the long pass area.
They saw through Lu Ke's plan, so they gave up defending the running ball, concentrated on defending the pass, and increased the intensity of the surprise attack.
Faced with such an offensive, the 49ers' offensive line steadily withstood the torrent, changing from five people to seven people. This was not a pretense. Both Logan and Ted were helping to block players, and then added another Dixon, they ensured a clean pocket, leaving Lu Ke enough observation time.
Lu Ke didn't panic at all. It seemed that this scene was completely expected. He turned sideways, stepped forward, raised his hand and directly passed the football at the speed of a bullet - not a long pass, but a precise short pass. Pass, exactly ten yards!
Richard Sherman was cruising, and the next second he discovered that the direction of Lu Ke's pass was actually towards him, and the person he was blocking was Michael Crabtree.
Crabtree is immersed in running. According to the fixed route of the offensive routine, this is a short pass. There is no doubt that it is a short pass. But whether it is a pass or a running ball, the game is changing rapidly. Only the moment of passing the ball can... Know. Therefore, he couldn't think too much and could only concentrate on running along the route.
On the court, the 49ers only have two wide receivers running routes, but fortunately, there are only two defensive players in the short passing area and the mid-passing area, so the one-on-one and area coverage defense becomes man-marking. People defend. The Seahawks think they have seen through the 49ers' tactics, but the 49ers have found the Seahawks' loopholes. Now it depends on the quarterback's pass.
Crabtree braked suddenly, turned around, raised his chin, and then saw Lu Ke's sharp gaze coming through the helmet.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sherman losing his center of gravity. Crabtree took a big step forward, then stretched out his hands and firmly caught the speeding football in his arms. He tightly controlled the football with both hands, and in the next step, he turned around and was about to start and continue to advance, but then Sherman had already hit him.
Sherman didn't have time to break up the catch, only to stifle Crabtree's further advance in time. With a hard push with both hands, Crabtree was pushed directly to the sideline, ending the attack. But, it was too late, a ten-yard pass, and Crabtree stood at the eleven-yard position and successfully completed the first attack!
Sherman's face was full of astonishment and he blurted out swear words, but it didn't help. His defense was misplaced: Lu Ke actually completed the pass, and Lu Ke actually completed the pass over his head!
"Wow, in just one breath, the offensive tactics and defensive tactics of the two teams have quietly changed, but in the end, the 49ers were superior and easily completed the eleven-yard pass. No. 14 Lead the 49ers forward!" In the studio, Teddy couldn't help but marveled again, then turned his head and looked at Kirk, "So, has he always been so wise and intelligent?"
"Yes, on the field, his judgment, his choices, and his decisiveness are undoubtedly the greatest assets of the offensive team." Kirk nodded and said, instead of continuing to talk about the highlights of the Rose Bowl, he watched Analyze while watching the playback.
"The Seahawks put on a raiding posture; and the 49ers put on a rushing posture. But in the end, the Seahawks focused on defending the mid-pass and short passes; the 49ers chose short passes. Things are changing rapidly. The tactical choices in the game were staggered again, and No. 14 led the team to move forward."
After the explanation, Kirk turned to look at Teddy, "One of the most famous things in this year's rookie training camp is that the second perfect scorer in the Vonderrick test appeared, and he was also a quarterback."
"Yes, I know about this..." Teddy was only halfway through his words, and then he suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean, the 49ers' No. 14, he is the perfect score winner? Damn it! "
It was an almost foul-mouthed exclamation, but it clearly expressed Teddy's shock.
On the court, Richard Sherman was furious, venting his inner dissatisfaction and anger with swear words. Under repeated provocations, Michael Crabtree actually completed the ball so easily, although no more shots were released. Big size, but it's still a shame.
But for Lu Ke, he had no time to pay attention to Sherman's sharp gaze and calmly led the team to continue advancing.
