Six offensive plays, four passes, one run, and one sack, and then two touchdowns!
After the start of the second half of the game, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team was reborn and took on a new look, once again showing the smooth and murderous offensive ability they had in the first week of the game; the most amazing thing is that in the two attacks, Lu Ke's pass Once again it played a crucial decisive role!
In the first half, the Cowboys' targeted defense stifled Lu Ke's performance. The quarterback's statistics were a mess and it was unbearable to look at. In the second half, the Cowboys' defense was still sharp, but Lu Ke's passing was even tougher and ruthless. Severely tearing a gap, not only brings the quarterback's skills to the extreme, but also brings the charm of tactical awareness and court brain to the extreme!
The same players, tactical misalignment and awakening of consciousness completely turned the entire situation around.
This is what quarterback is all about!
"In the attack just now, Lu Ke once again showed his keen interpretation and prediction ability of defensive formations. For regional defense, a simple tactic and a slight change in a certain link - Luo Ke Root Newman, the change here just now was Logan Newman, which attracted the attention of at least three defensive players, making people think it was a short pass, but it turned out to be a long pass!"
Kirk used a paintbrush to mark the Cowboys' defensive position and the gap in the middle on the screen, but at this point in the explanation, he couldn't help but paused, opened his mouth, and seemed to be shocked and overwhelmed.
Teddy immediately took over the conversation, "I chose long passes for three consecutive passes. What we should discuss is whether the rookie quarterback is too bold and too arrogant; but at this time, what we should discuss more is, The courage and courage of this first-year quarterback. His long pass is not a blind throw, but an accurate judgment and pass after precise tactical arrangement and planning, which brings the charm of long pass to the extreme and completely defeats the opponent. The Dallas Cowboys have no temper."
"Yes." Kirk nodded in agreement, "Defensive reading and tactical choices, not only in the offense just now, but also in the two touchdown offenses in the second half, we can see this four-pointer Wei's sophistication and wisdom. He chose to run the ball for the first time, but when he was about to rush for the first offense, he unexpectedly chose to pass the ball, completely disrupting the Cowboys' deployment. Then, they did this Step by step, we entered this quarterback’s trap!”
"Wow, it's unimaginable, this is actually a rookie quarterback!" Teddy couldn't help but sigh again, "This is actually only the second game of his career? God, what happened in this year's draft? What? Wait, are you saying that Von Derrick’s perfect score on the test is really so different?”
In the third quarter, there were three minutes and 33 seconds left. After the San Francisco 49ers scored the extra point, the score on the field had become "14:20". The home team was in front and the visiting team was behind.
The gap between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys has further shortened. So, can the Dallas Cowboys score immediately this time and continue to stabilize their position? The pressure was once again thrown on Tony Romo's shoulders.
Lu Ke and the offensive team returned to the sidelines, and all the players began to celebrate wildly. The hero of the touchdown just now, Vernon Davis, began to high-five and celebrate with every player. At this moment, no one would distinguish between senior players and rookie players, because everyone was celebrating the team's touchdown. .
The footsteps finally stopped in front of Lu Ke, and Vernon finished the high-five celebration. But after putting down his right hand, he looked at Lu Ke, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and left without saying anything.
Lu Ke didn't have time to deal with Vernon's personal emotions, at least not now. He picked up the tactical manual again and started flipping through it.
After three consecutive long passes, Lu Ke knew the risks better than anyone else: Next, the Dallas Cowboys are bound to strengthen their defense in the backcourt, and long passes can easily expose the placement of the pass. If you are not careful, we will usher in the third one today. There was a second interception; therefore, the proportion of long passes needs to be controlled next, and the situation is mainly opened up by short passes and running the ball.
The third quarter ended quickly. The Dallas Cowboys' offensive team maintained its usual style today, dragging and stumbling, but it was always able to complete the third-speed transition at critical moments and continue the offense.
But for the Cowboys, this is a good thing, because they are still the leading side and consume the game time, which means shortening the 49ers' counterattack time; if they can still score in the end, whether it is three points or seven points, the Cowboys will They will once again firmly grasp the advantage in their hands.
Therefore, the Cowboys still advanced slowly and steadily. After the start of the fourth quarter, they consumed nearly two minutes and stopped at the 41-yard position of the 49ers half. Unable to advance further, unfortunately, the Cowboys had no choice but to punt, ending the offense.
This also became the main theme of the rest of the game. Unconsciously, the fourth quarter game time was coming to an end.
"On third down and four yards, Tony Romo chose to pass the ball, and wide receiver No. 88 Dez Bryant! Smith, the 49ers' No. 30 cornerback, Reggie Smith completed the key defense. , shot away the football at the moment before catching the ball. This may be the most important defense in today's game!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful defense! Look, look, there is no yellow flag. The referee signaled that this defense was successful! At the critical moment, Smith pulled the 49ers back from the edge of the cliff and once again won a glimmer of hope. . The Cowboys lost the opportunity to kill the game. Now, the game is in the hands of the 49ers offense again, and there is no way of knowing what will happen next."
"The third transition failed to be completed. This is already the fifth time in the fourth quarter that the two teams combined have failed to complete the third transition. Among them, the Dallas Cowboys three times and the San Francisco 49ers twice. Obviously, two The team's defensive team is strengthening its defense, and the confrontation is intensifying throughout the fourth quarter. The Cowboys' defensive team made three hasty shots and one sack; the 49ers' defensive team made two sacks and one sack. Two hits and a hasty shot.”
“The game started to get tight in the fourth quarter. Both teams could get the first offense and both could continue to advance, but neither team could push past halftime. Thanks to the excellent performance of their own team’s defensive team, There have been four punts before and after, and now it's the fifth. Both teams have entered the state and are competing against each other."
"After a small climax in the third quarter, the 49ers' offensive team completely opened up the situation and approached the score. However, the Cowboys' defensive team showed a good state and made targeted defenses to give the 49ers' first-year The quarterback exerted tremendous pressure, and the entire fourth quarter was spent constantly punting, but the game was extremely exciting! It was not dull at all."
"The San Francisco 49ers once again completed an excellent defense, denying the Dallas Cowboys' offensive team any success. Now the game is still '14:20', and the leader is the away Cowboys. Now, it's left to the 49ers There is only one minute and nine seconds left in the game, which is 69 seconds. This is too difficult! Wow, this is too difficult! If the 49ers' rookie Chinese quarterback cannot score a touchdown in this wave , then based on the historical records of the two teams, the 49ers will be at a disadvantage again."
…
The words in the commentary box were bustling and heated. There were only 69 seconds left in the second week of the regular season. The San Francisco 49ers were still six points behind and were already standing on the edge of the cliff. But at least, fortunately, the defensive team did not allow the Dallas Cowboys to complete the third conversion this time.
This is a crucial defense.
Because if the Dallas Cowboys complete the third conversion and regain the first offensive opportunity, this means that the Cowboys can get three offensive opportunities again. Each offense can consume forty seconds, and there are only sixty-nine seconds left in the game. , in other words, the Cowboys' Tony Romo can kneel down directly, run out the game time, and declare the game over.
However, the Cowboys were unable to complete it. Therefore, Reggie Smith's defense this time was worth a thousand dollars, at least giving the 49ers another chance to breathe.
Ahmaud Brooks led the defensive team off the court and passed through the special team players who were playing. Ahmaud saw Lu Ke on the other side from a distance, then took off his helmet and waved. , raised his voice and said, "The rest is up to you."
The defensive team has tried its best. Sixty-nine seconds, although not much, is at least a glimmer of hope.
Lu Ke's eyes narrowed and he nodded. Without saying anything, he put on his helmet, then tightened the anti-skid buckle, and called all the receivers from the offensive team over, "Don't be greedy, go out of bounds immediately after catching the ball. Remember, don’t be greedy!”
Sixty-nine seconds, which means time control is crucial. This is another new thing that Lu Ke has never been exposed to.
In fact, just like NBA basketball games, the final countdown, every timeout, every time out of bounds, time control is crucial. The outcome may be completely reversed in milliseconds. The same is true for NFL football games. Within the final limited time, they must firmly control the time:
First, the player catches the ball near the sideline. After completing the ball, he immediately goes out of bounds and time can be paused.
Second, the quarterback chooses to throw the ball on the spot, not to pass the ball, but after the center kicks off, the quarterback throws the football on the ground in front of him, wasting an offensive opportunity, but it can also pause the time. This has the same effect as an incomplete pass.
Third, the team itself holds the timeout. Three times in the first half, the midfield cleared; three more times in the second half. If the coach randomly chooses to challenge the referee and wastes timeouts; or if the team made communication errors in previous games and was forced to use timeouts, this is a sign of poor time management.
Making full use of timeouts and out of bounds to firmly control the advancement of every offense is an important ability of an excellent quarterback, and it is also the boundary that separates quarterbacks from ordinary ones.
What Lu Ke just explained is out of bounds, the key to time control!
