The short screen pass uses the quarterback as a bait to attract defensive players like a kite, and then passes the short pass to the receiving player to invade the empty defensive area and complete the advancement.
This is a short screen pass!
Lu Ke made a seven-yard short pass in the direction of a 30-degree angle to his right hand, aiming at Marcus who had just ran out. Then Marcus firmly caught the football and started rushing the ball with his head down.
Is it not a pass, but a deceptive short pass followed by a rush? damn it! Weir couldn't help but start cursing in his heart, but at this time he changed his focus, but it was still too late. He could only hope that his teammates could intercept Marcus.
Soon, Weir discovered that he was not the only one who had been fooled.
"Lu Ke, pass the ball. This is a short screen pass. The 49ers' entire offensive line quickly moved to the right, spread out, and knocked away the defensive players one by one!"
Troy's sharp commentary actually kept up with the progress of the game on the field, and immediately presented the situation on the field, "Crabtree and Newman's coverage was perfect! The performance was so good, the two of them each knocked away a defender. player, opened a path for Marcus to run the ball. The Cowboys' defensive players seemed to have shifted their center of gravity and failed to adjust immediately, and the defensive speed was half a beat slower."
"Marcus rushes the ball, Marcus rushes the ball!" Troy shouted passionately, "Marcus completed the twelve-yard rush. With the joint efforts of the Cowboys safety guard and cornerback, Stopped the push. A full twelve yards of rush! This was the most successful rush of the San Francisco 49ers tonight, directly bringing the team into the red zone!"
"Beautiful, so beautiful! Lu Ke used his running ability to open up the defensive formation; then completed the pass and used Marcus' strong rush to completely disrupt the Cowboys' defensive deployment. In the tactical change On the other hand, the 49ers are now half a body ahead and have consecutive first downs! Incredible, is this still the same offensive team in the first half? What happened during the halftime break?"
Troy's brief and to-the-point review summed it up perfectly.
With the help of his teammates, Marcus opened a gap in the Cowboys' dense defense and completed a twelve-yard rush. Now he still needs to face a three-yard completion task in the third gear. At the same time, he also boosted the morale of the offense. The rhythm seems to have finally come back a little bit. However, this attack is still not over.
Marcus handed the football to the referee without celebrating, and quickly returned to his teammates. Everyone gathered around Lu Ke, listening to the tactical arrangements. When they heard Lu Ke's familiar voice, "The game begins!" Marcus Si's emotions couldn't help but arouse, and he clenched his fists heavily to cheer himself up.
Marcus is not alone. The mental outlook of the entire offensive team is quietly changing.
Third gear, three yards.
Is it six points for a touchdown, plus the extra point? Or a three-pointer from a free kick? Success or failure depends on this!
Although it was three yards on third gear, Lu Ke put up a shotgun formation and seemed ready to pass the ball with full firepower. The San Francisco 49ers are standing on the red zone line at this time. If it is a pass, it is aimed at the end zone; but what if it is a run? Only needing to advance three yards can he get the first down again and get three more chances to complete the touchdown.
Not only the commentators and the audience are thinking this, but also the Cowboys defensive players on the field. Therefore, they continued their usual defensive formation today. However, in the ten-yard red zone and the ten-yard end zone, the players defending the pass were extremely dense. It seemed that there was no breathing space at all, let alone the pass. The gap in the ball is gone.
"Kick off! Lu Ke passes the ball! Left, ah, fake move, middle, this is a middle pass! Take action! Neutral, No. 88! No. 88 Logan Newman, received the pass again, this It’s a touchdown! It’s a touchdown!”
With the ever-changing rhythm on the field, Kirk and Teddy had no time to explain in detail. They only had time to explain the key points, then raised their hands high and exclaimed, "The touchdown was successful!" Then, over and over again, over and over again. Over and over again, "Touchdown successful! Touchdown successful!"
Kirk and Teddy were just part of the excitement in the audience. The entire commentary box was boiling. Almost everyone was exclaiming, shouting, and sighing. The simple sentence "Touchdown was successful" contained All the excitement in their hearts was suppressed, and many people even began to beat the table to vent their inner excitement and excitement.
Everything came too fast, too suddenly, and too unexpectedly. All the emotions burst out in an instant, like a volcano erupting.
Chris Wilson felt as if his heart was going to be paralyzed. He just forgot and shouted reflexively, "Touchdown! Touchdown!" But his voice began to hoarse and deform, distorting into a strange shape that even he could distinguish. Not coming out.
However, Chris didn't care. He just cheered, jumped, and hugged everyone around him, celebrating the touchdown with every movement of his body.
The depression that had been suppressed for half of the game, the frustration that was suppressed for half of the game, the enthusiasm that was suppressed for half of the game, and the anger that was suppressed for half of the game were all released at this moment.
Chris was like a madman, cheering and dancing, and then, the entire Candlestick Stadium exploded completely, and the screams of mountains and tsunamis poured out overwhelmingly, "Ahhhh!" There were no unnecessary words. , just shouting wildly, a simple roar, and exploded in a mighty way.
More than a third of the audience jumped up, waved their fists vigorously, screamed, shouted, roared, and celebrated wildly; then they roared face to face, like a war song, vigorously erupting the morale of the entire audience. Come on.
This is not only the San Francisco 49ers' first touchdown in today's game, but more importantly, the offensive team's recovery momentum reveals a glimmer of hope and the suspense of the game is back!
Everything happened too fast. In less than three seconds, Lu Ke's precise and sharp pass completed the touchdown.
Not only the commentary box, not just the audience seat, at this moment, the Fox TV studio is also boiling.
Both Teddy and Kirk couldn't help but exclaimed, not because they were too excited, but because it was so exciting, and the exclamations came out involuntarily. Rugby games always have such magic.
"Let's watch the replay again." Kirk took the initiative to take over the topic and began to explain, "Faced with three yards and three yards, the San Francisco 49ers unusually set up a shotgun formation. Generally speaking, they choose to rush at this time. The ball was smarter, but a short pass would have worked. However, after the kickoff, the four receivers started running in four different directions, all heading into the deep end zone, setting up a touchdown. intention of."
"Here, the audience can see here." Kirk picked up the paintbrush in his hand and drew a yellow circle on the touch screen. This is the most cutting-edge modern broadcast technology, which can be synchronized to the TV screen and present the key points of the commentator's explanation of tactics directly to the audience.
The San Francisco 49ers stood on the ten-yard line, ten yards from the front line of the end zone, and the end zone itself was ten yards wide. This means that the entire defensive space is twenty yards, and the passing space is also twenty yards.
At this time, the entire confrontation formation appeared on the screen: the Cowboys' two safety guards stood in the corners of the left and right end zones, twenty yards away from the offensive line; while the two cornerbacks stood close to the ten-yard line. The left and right sides of the vicinity are almost parallel to the offensive line.
The circle Kirk circled marked the positions of the two safeties.
"Now, they either have a zone defense, which means, the middle zone is completely open, which requires two linebackers to help defend, and the remaining two linebackers have to participate in the run defense and blitz. ." Kirk quickly circled the gap in the middle with a paintbrush, "Either choose man-to-man defense and use safety guard Abram Allan's running defense ability to cover the middle area. At the same time, the intensity of the raid is bound to increase. "
After explaining the position, Kirk started playing the replay video again, "To put it simply, the quarterback only needs to stare at the safety. If they don't move, then there is a gap in the middle; if they move, then the two corners are gaps. .After the kickoff, the four receivers of the San Francisco 49ers began to run routes, and the Dallas Cowboys chose to defend in a zone!"
"Here, right here, Lu Ke made a fake pass from the left, which strengthened the judgment of the Cowboys defensive players and pinned the safety guard firmly in place. But the next moment, Lu Ke changed the pass The ball route was aimed at the middle gap area with preparation.”
"Sure enough, Logan Newman ran towards the middle and was completely misaligned on defense. The two linebackers were too slow to cover. They only had time to retreat and did not even have time to judge the player's position. The pass was already completed! "
After Kirk's explanation ended, he was amazed again and again, "The defensive reading before the kickoff, the defensive judgment after the kickoff, and the route selection before passing the ball. Lu Ke truly showed the ability of an excellent quarterback, continuously The offensive success shook the Cowboys' defensive formation. The whole pass was passed to the touchdown easily, and Logan Newman didn't even encounter a collision with the defensive player!"
Not only Kirk, but Teddy sitting next to him was also full of praise, "No. 14, who surprised everyone in the first game, is back again. The entire offense has a total of four gears, two passes and one run. There was also a loss of yardage due to a sack, and the whole game advanced 80 yards, taking 117 seconds to complete the touchdown! Wonderful, really wonderful!"
However, for ESPN's broadcast room, things are not so wonderful.
Charles Davis closed his mouth firmly, his face extremely ugly and ashen-colored.
Spencer Larson said jokingly, "Charles, what do you think of this touchdown?"
Charles glanced at Spencer, rolled his eyes, and folded his hands on his chest, "It's just a touchdown. The game is still going on. Next, we need to take a look at the Dallas Cowboys' offense. It's too early to make a judgment at this time. .”
Spencer said with a smile, "At halftime, everything seemed to be finalized. Now it seems that it is far from finalized." Such a mocking tone made Charles turn away angrily. head, hands clenched into fists.
This battle is endless!
