The entire Candlestick Stadium is boiling!
The gloom and depression of the first half were swept away. Everyone was cheering and shouting, and the long passes were successfully passed, which severely damaged the Cowboys' confidence and greatly boosted the morale of the 49ers. At this moment, they seemed to have won the game, frantically venting all their grievances and depression.
But on the court, the 49ers' offense did not celebrate, including Logan, who had just completed a wonderful advance. Everyone gathered together again and began to listen to Lu Ke's tactical arrangements.
"Vernon Davis is on the field!" Kirk exclaimed in the Fox studio. "The replacement is wide receiver Kyle Williams! The 49ers will use a double tight end tactic next!"
The wide receiver is flexible and light, while the near-end forward is powerful and heavy. The wide receiver runs in various routes, while the near-end forward's route is relatively simple, and more of them use force to clear the way. Generally speaking, league teams tend to use a "three wide receivers and one tight end" arrangement to increase the flexibility of the receiver group and enrich running routes.
Now, the San Francisco 49ers have deployed a double tight end tactic. Is there going to be a strong showdown in the short passing and intermediate passing areas?
Vernon's head was filled with questions.
Vernon and Lu Ke are not on the same page, and the entire team knows it; what's more, the running backs may rotate, and running backs of different styles can play. The combination of wide receivers is ever-changing, but the overall style of the tight end is the same. Similarly, generally speaking, starting tight ends, like starting quarterbacks, are not easily replaced.
In the first wave of offense in the second half, under Lu Ke's strong request, the team replaced Vernon and sent in Logan. As a result, Logan really completed the touchdown and recovered. At that time, Vernon kicked over the kettle and vented his inner depression.
But now, why does Lu Ke ask him to play? Isn't Lu Ke worried that he will deliberately drop the ball or deliberately miss the ball to cause trouble for the team?
Walking onto the court full of doubts, Vernon stood aside and listened to the tactics. As he was chewing carefully, he heard a call, "Vernon, are you sure you can catch the ball? If not, you and Luo I don’t see any problem with Root’s role reversal.”
Lu Ke arranged for Vernon to catch the ball, not Logan. This is not an easy decision.
Firstly, he needs all the firepower points of the team to be open, otherwise once Logan is locked, he will be helpless; secondly, Logan has completed two long passes in a row, and the safety guard will inevitably strengthen the defense. Logan Someone was needed to distract him; thirdly, Lu Ke didn't care whether Vernon liked him or not. Compared with personal grudges, what Lu Ke needed was victory. Only victory!
In this tactic, two tight ends were selected, one to pick the ball and one to catch the ball. As Lu Ke said, if Vernon intends to cause trouble, then he can arrange for Vernon to pick up the ball and let Logan complete the ball.
Vernon didn't have time to think deeply. He only felt that all his teammates were looking at him with disdain, as if they were questioning his buttery hand in the first half. This was not only questioning his character, but also questioning his ability. You know, before Logan, he was the biggest star among the receiving players! Then, he blurted out angrily, "Fuck! If you can pass it on, I can catch it!"
"Okay!" Lu Ke answered cleanly, then ignored Vernon and looked at his teammates again, "Do you still have any questions? If not, the game begins!"
All of Vernon's complaints and curses were choked in his throat, and he began to form a formation full of thoughts. Is this a trap? What's that guy's idea?
Ignoring Vernon's mutterings, on the court, his teammates are still more trustworthy than the Cowboys' opponents. He had to give it a try and trust Vernon for once. What if it fails? Then fail. He can afford to gamble on the first attack!
Lu Ke stood in the pistol formation. Although he and Jim Hubble reached a consensus, this offense is still passing. Today's running condition is not good. He must make a surprise attack in order to slowly to open up the situation; but he still began to read the defense seriously.
very good. The Cowboys were scared and they changed their defensive formation again.
After the halftime break, the Cowboys' defensive team fell into disarray. Apart from one sack, they were unable to guard even the first offensive possession. Moreover, if the 49ers' offensive team had some help, they only had four possessions in the first offensive possession. A touchdown was completed, and the first pass of the second offense passed the half court.
Such ability is really frightening.
More importantly, the Cowboys still haven't figured out a solution. The advantage of the pass defense has been lost, and they are now completely unsure of the opponent's quarterback's tactical arrangements. how so? That quarterback looked like two completely different people in the first half and the second half!
The Cowboys changed their defensive formation after giving up a long pass with a lot of yardage since then.
In the second line area, two safety guards cover the back half area; the two cornerbacks clearly retreat and stand at the forefront of the mid-pass area. Moving forward can help defend short passes, and retreating can help defend long passes.
In the first line area, the defensive formation has changed to a "4-3" formation. The biggest difference from the first half is that the defensive front has four players, which increases the intensity of the raid, because they must put pressure on the quarterback and cannot let him Calmly arrange tactics, execute tactics, and complete passes.
Lu Ke can catch the weak defense in the short passing area and smells a God-given opportunity under his nose.
"Get ready..." Lu Ke prolonged his tone, his pupils contracted slightly, catching the body shaking trend of the defensive players, and then shouted, "Get ready..." The three-dimensional image of the entire stadium vividly appeared in his mind. , and then he ordered, "Attack!"
Jonathan Goodwin completed the kickoff, and after Lu Ke caught the football with both hands, the entire offensive line did not move. It rushed forward and collided head-on with the Dallas Cowboys' defensive line. "Bang! Bang bang!" "The dull sound exploded like a firecracker.
On the left, two wide receivers; on the right, two tight ends, attacking at the same time.
What’s interesting is that the running routes of the two wide receivers are the same, just like dogtail grass. In the first section, they rush forward with their heads down, and the speed of the 40-yard sprint is maximized; when they reach the seven-yard mark, Ted Gee Enxian stopped, followed the dogtail grass's head drooping to the left, ran back a little, and made a small half circle, while Michael Crabtree continued to move forward, reaching fifteen yards. Following Jean's example, he also circled back.
What’s even more interesting is that the running routes of the two tight ends are also consistent. They look like the other side of a mirror, exactly the same as the running routes of the two wide receivers. The first half is a 40-yard sprint, and then it stops. , turn around, go around in circles. The first one to stop was Logan Newman, and then the one who stopped was Vernon Davis.
The dispersed running routes and vertical striking capabilities of the four players are very strong. The Dallas Cowboys' zone defense strategy is completely broken. They can only follow man-to-man defense. The cornerback defends the one who stops first, and then the safety guard. The one who rushes forward, makes up defense and then stops.
The change was here. Unconsciously, the two linebackers also pulled in the direction of Logan's running.
Because the position where Logan paused was about five or six yards, almost behind the linebacker, the seemingly empty short passing area was actually heavily guarded; but in contrast, only five of the Cowboys' first-line seven players were left. Name, the intensity of the raid suddenly softened.
"Raise your hand, pass the ball, Newman ran out of the gap, oh, it's not Newman, it's Davis! Vernon Davis!"
Troy exclaimed that he could even really feel the panic of the Dallas Cowboys players on the court. With all four players facing one-on-one defense, they all had a certain amount of space to receive the ball. Lu Ke chose the right side, but it was not his old partner Logan Newman, but Vernon Davis, who caused an interception in the first half.
"The Cowboys' defensive strength was in chaos. The 49ers' offensive line was very powerful and watertight. The protection of the entire pocket was very solid, giving Lu Ke enough time to observe and pass the ball. But Lu Ke's pass was very fast! This is A... twenty-yard pass, wow! Twenty yards, Lu Ke once again completed a bold twenty-yard pass! Vernon Davis received the pass! Davis turned around, and then started holding Ball running!”
Not a short pass, but a long pass!
Troy originally wanted to take a look at the time when Lu Ke passed the ball, but it was too late. Vernon Davis started to break through.
"Now only Danny McCray is left in the Cowboys' backfield. It's Danny McCray again! Davis accelerated, accelerated again, stopped and turned, a beautiful turn! Wow, the turn was false. Shake, McRae missed the tackle. He failed to stop Davis' breakthrough, twenty yards, fifteen yards... No one could keep up. The Cowboys' defense was completely off balance. The nearest player There was also a full twenty-five yards away, and he couldn't catch up... Ten yards, five yards, Davis even slowed down, but he still easily completed the touchdown! Touchdown!"
After Troy finished speaking, he was stunned and blinked, and then he realized: The San Francisco 49ers actually scored a touchdown again? After the start of the second half, the offensive team came on the field twice and completed two touchdowns. Such efficiency is really appalling!
There were bursts of exclamations in the Fox studio, but the voices of Kirk and Teddy seemed so insignificant, because the entire Candlestick Stadium exploded, and all the fans - all the home fans, all stood up. , jumped up, and shouted, the sound of mountains and tsunami was shaking the stadium, and even the whistling wind seemed insignificant.
"Two attacks, two passes, 100% success rate, one thirty yards, one twenty yards, touchdown, done!" Kirk exclaimed into the microphone. At this moment, any words seemed too much. Pale, just a list of data is enough to express inner shock and surprise.
The touchdown came too quickly and too easily. It seemed like just a leisurely stroll. There were six offensive plays, four passes, one run, and one sack, and then two touchdowns were completed. , and more importantly, almost no time was wasted, the speed and efficiency of the entire attack were too scary!
