The game reached a stalemate. After the second touchdown pass, the San Francisco 49ers' special team successfully scored the extra point, exceeding the score again, "14:7". Then, the game seemed to have pressed the pause button and cycle button, and there was never any Advance.
Then, the Seattle Seahawks offense took the field again. Marshawn Lynch is still the core of the entire team's offense, but "Beast Mode" is not omnipotent. In the final analysis, Marshawn is still an ordinary person, not a real superman. He can't accomplish the feat of breaking through nine players every time.
Under the strict defense of the San Francisco 49ers defensive team, Marshawn's advancement efficiency was severely hindered; while Travis' passing accuracy was still poor and he was unable to open up the passing situation, which made the Seattle Seahawks' offense incomparable. It was difficult, and after barely advancing to our own 43 yards, we were unable to get the first attack again, and unfortunately we could only punt.
Then it was the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team's turn to take the field again. As the commentator expected, the Seattle Seahawks' defense began to get into shape.
In this offense, there was a ball run first. Not only did Dixon fail to gain any yards, but he was also pushed back and fell to the ground, losing two yards.
Then there was a pass, but two opposing defenders broke through the offensive line and completed the first sack of the quarterback of the game, again losing five yards.
On the last pass, the defensive player once again made a hasty shot. Lu Ke had no time to observe and hurriedly completed a short pass in an attempt to obtain a better punting position. But the offensive line was completely torn, and three players double-teamed Lu Ke. In a hurry, Lu Ke shot towards Logan, but was almost intercepted - luckily it was only "almost".
strike out. The San Francisco 49ers struck out for the first time tonight.
After that, the smell of gunpowder in the derby in the same district gradually began to spread. The 49ers gave the Seahawks a strikeout, and the Seahawks counterattacked with two vicious sacks by the 49ers; the 49ers almost created an interception and beat the Seahawks. Stopped at the 36-yard line, the Seahawks made Dixon drop the ball once and completed the ball possession transition.
In a football game, any player may drop the ball, even the quarterback is no exception - amidst the fierce sacking of defensive players, if you are not careful, you may drop the ball.
The so-called dropped ball refers to the football accidentally falling to the ground after the kickoff, when the offensive team completes the ball, controls the ball and advances. Then, football will become an "ownerless thing", and the first player to control the ball will get the ball for his team. The exception is when the football is in the hands of the quarterback and the ball is fumbled due to a tackle or sack before the ball is passed, then the rules are the same.
To give a simple example, after Dixon took over the football from Lu Ke, the football fell out due to an opponent's collision, tackle or sack.
Next, if the 49ers players can grab the ball for the first time, then they will retain the ball and continue to attack from the position where the ball was dropped; and if the Seahawks players can grab the ball for the first time, then the ball will be Will complete the transition and start the offense from the position where the ball was dropped.
However, if no player on the offensive team can catch the ball, or if the receiving player has not completed control, the football will hit the ground like a hot potato, and this is considered an incomplete pass. The ball will not complete the conversion. In other words, after the pass is completed and the defensive player drops the ball, the ball will be open to competition.
Just now, Dickson dropped the ball while running with the ball, and the Seahawks got the ball at the 46-yard line on the 49ers side.
The San Francisco 49ers finally advanced to nearly the half-court position. With a change of ball rights, all previous efforts were in vain; and the Seattle Seahawks' offensive starting position was already past the half-court position, and they only needed to advance a little further. , just enter the free kick range, and if it goes further, a touchdown is also possible.
Lu Ke was also furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Fortunately, the Seattle Seahawks offensive team that came on the scene still failed to cheer up. Marshawn's three rushes led the team to a first offense, but that was all. The subsequent two runs only advanced three yards. With Travis' short pass, the Seattle Seahawks advanced three yards. The attack came to an abrupt end.
Finally, they brought in their special teams team to take a free kick. This was a 45-yard field goal. Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka successfully kicked the ball in, earning three points for the Seahawks, and the score approached "10: 14".
One fumble and no more points were lost, which is a good thing for the San Francisco 49ers. But the next attack was still a disaster.
In the team's offense, the balance between passing and running is crucial. Two completely different offensive methods can not only enrich the offensive tactics, but also disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm. It's all passing, or it's all running, which will only make it easier for the opponent to defend.
The Seattle Seahawks' offense has struggled repeatedly because of this - Marshawn Lynch, Marshawn Lynch, Marshawn Lynch. After the San Francisco 49ers figured out the routine, the defense became relatively simple.
Although Lu Ke's passing status seems to be good today, the balance between passing and running is also an important reason why Lu Ke can continue to complete passes. Therefore, in the San Francisco 49ers' next offense, the tactical combination became more complicated and diverse, with a combination of running the ball and passing the ball, which made it impossible for the opponent to make accurate judgments.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
The problem is that today, the team's top running back Anthony Dixon is obviously out of shape. He cannot complete the advance, find gaps, and burst out energy. He ran with the ball ten times, but only advanced sixteen yards, and he could not open the ball at all. situation.
To make matters worse, after the running ball was restricted, the burden of advancement was concentrated on Lu Ke, but after the Seattle Seahawks mastered the rhythm of running ball defense, they shared more energy to defend the pass, which also further compressed the Lu Ke's passing space.
As a result, the San Francisco 49ers' offense also struggled. The fluidity in the opening two attacks completely disappeared. The entire offensive strategy stumbled and stumbled, and could not even push past half court. The performance was a disaster.
"As I just said, this rookie quarterback still lacks ability after all, but after the pass cannot be contained, he does not have the ability to rely on his own ability to open up the situation."
"The shortcomings of the rookie quarterback No. 14 are fully exposed. He lacks the ability to fight physically and has the ability to run. The Seahawks chose to attack with force. Once the offensive line is slightly negligent, he will fall into absolute passivity."
"In the last few offenses, he suffered a sack, a collision, and three hasty shots. The San Francisco 49ers' entire offense was completely shattered and could not even push past halftime."
"The lack of experience has exposed the shortcomings of this first-year player, and the calmness at the beginning has completely disappeared. The problem for the 49ers now is that they can't open up the situation by running the ball, and the passing route is blocked. Under such circumstances, A strong quarterback needs to step up and become the hero of the team. But obviously, No. 14 is not the savior of the 49ers."
"Now the game has entered a stalemate, and both teams' quarterbacks have serious shortcomings. Now it seems that the running back will be the key to deciding the game. So, the Seahawks' chances of winning are increasing."
…
The commentators above the commentary box began to express their opinions one after another. The panic and surprise at the beginning have now disappeared: This kind of No. 14 and this kind of 49ers offensive group are in line with their predictions and expectations. The Chinese-American rookie quarterback is still embarrassed by his big job.
The game returned to their familiar track, and they became comfortable again; but for the players and coaches, it was a different story.
The first half of the game ended quickly. Neither team's offensive team was able to continue to score. The score was temporarily fixed at "14:10", with the San Francisco 49ers still leading.
At halftime, both teams returned to the locker room.
The atmosphere in the San Francisco 49ers' locker room was a bit depressing. Not only was there no joy in leading the score, but on the contrary, there was also a hint of irritability. In the entire human space, no one spoke or made a sound. It was so dull that it was breathless.
They all noticed that there was a problem with the team's offense and defense, but they were in it and couldn't see the whole situation, so they didn't know what the problem was. This kind of helplessness and ignorance trapped heavy in their chests, and they vomited. It can't come out, but it can't be swallowed either.
Jim Harper stood outside the locker room and did not go in immediately. He looked a little irritable and anxious.
Although the San Francisco 49ers are currently in the lead, the score of "14:10" is far from enough for the team to win tonight's game, and it is far from enough to defeat the old fox of Pete Carroll.
The two rivals have been fighting in the college arena for three years. Jim knows better than anyone else that Pete is not an easy guy to deal with. If he is not careful, he may bite him like a hyena. Strategically, he despises the enemy, but tactically, he must pay attention to the enemy. Jim will never take it lightly.
Now, there is something wrong with the San Francisco 49ers' entire offensive system. But what is the problem?
Why did the team complete the touchdown in the first and second offense smoothly, but then stumbled and became unsustainable in the following game? Throughout the first half of the game, except for the first two offenses, the offensive team's performance at other times was a disaster.
As the commentators said, if the 49ers are unable to make effective adjustments in the second half and the Seahawks increase the intensity of their defense, the advantages and disadvantages will soon be converted as the momentum of both sides waxes and wanes. "14:10", the difference is only four points, and one touchdown can easily reverse the outcome of the game.
The San Francisco 49ers not only cannot relax now, but must sound the alarm!
