Just when everyone was focusing on pass defense, when everyone was paying attention to backcourt defense, when everyone was thinking about the possibility of long passes, Lu Ke chose to run the ball. .
The unexpected choice is not a hasty and blind decision, but the result of careful calculation.
Marcus' running ball was powerful and powerful, as if he was riding on hot wheels, roaring past. It was simple and efficient. Not only did he complete the ten-yard advance and get the first down; he also effectively controlled the ball. Time was not wasted due to running the ball.
At any time, this is an outstanding run, let alone the last wave of offense in the game!
From passing the ball to running the ball, the San Francisco 49ers have completely opened up their two channels at this time. The haze of the first half has completely disappeared. The shackles of the stalemate in the fourth quarter have also been completely let go. There are only two offenses and only two attacks. This advance, however, burst out with a powerful and unstoppable momentum.
The entire Candlestick Stadium went crazy. The voice finally got rid of the shackles of the throat, the emotions finally broke free of the shackles of the chest, and the dull buzzing burst out. Everyone was trying their best to vent their excitement heartily. Who can Think about it, at such a critical moment, it was a running ball that continued the team's offense?
The screams like mountain roars and tsunamis are endless, shaking the eardrums so hard that there is a roar in the ears. The magnificence and majesty make every player in the stadium feel so small, like dust. It will be annihilated in this turbulent sea at any time; but it is so huge that it stands tall against the sky and the earth, and can control the wind and rain with every move.
Opposite field, forty-eight yard line; fifty-six seconds.
"Unexpected, absolutely unexpected! No. 14 Lu Ke boldly chose to run the ball. No. 27 Marcus Lynch held the ball and completed a ten-yard run, once again leading the San Francisco 49ers to advance! "
Troy's iconic machine gun commentary reappeared once again, leading every listener in front of the radio high-pitched and excitedly into the last fifty-six seconds of today's game!
"The 49ers kicked off, Lu Ke stepped back, chose the right side, and made a 13-yard pass. The connection object was...Kyle Williams! Williams walked along the right side In the gap, he ran a straight line, made a sudden stop near the 40-yard line, turned sharply, and then cut inside and ran diagonally, trying to get rid of Jenkins who was defending man-to-man!"
In just one second, Troy explained every move on the field in such detail, staring intently at Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins.
"Jenkins was highly focused and did not relax at all. He defended cleanly and stayed close to Williams without committing a foul. He took advantage of physical confrontation and caused Williams to lose his position; on the other side, Cowboys safety Ai Bu Ram Aylan made a timely defense, further reducing Williams' receiving space. Oh, the pass was incomplete!"
"Let's take a look back: the Cowboys' defense is very good, Jenkins and Allan's reactions are timely enough, and the entire defensive coverage does not leave much room for Williams to play; moreover, Lu Ke's passing power is slightly worse. One point, the parabola dropped too fast and deviated from Williams' receiving position, which was one step away. Compared with today's short and long pass performance, Lu Ke's success rate in mid-pass was slightly lower."
Troy did not hide his regrets and sighed sadly. The San Francisco 49ers' offensive rhythm could not continue, consuming the game time but failing to complete the advancement. The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.
"Second gear ten yards, pistol formation. Lu Ke took the initiative to lead the offensive line to move to the right, take a shot, pass the ball, on the right, No. 88 Logan Newman, this is a three-yard short pass. Lu Ke Trying to rely on Newman's pushing and breaking ability to lead the team to gain some yards. Newman completed the catch, but...Sean Lee! Cowboys' No. 50 Sean Lee!"
"Lee's defensive awareness was extremely quick. He immediately stepped forward and stuck to Newman. Although Newman completed the ball, there was no room to advance! Newman stuck to Lee with his back and tried to get away. Forcibly pushed forward, but Jenkins made up for it in time, and the two of them hugged Newman tightly! Newman tried to fall, terminate the push, and pause the time, but Li and Jenkins grabbed Newman tightly and refused Newman's throw. Come on, time is passing, time is still passing!"
"Without a stalemate, the referee blew the whistle and terminated the offense. Newman only advanced four yards in the end, and the game time was consumed... Lu Ke asked for a timeout. The San Francisco 49ers used up the first score of the second half A timeout. The offense just now failed to meet expectations and once again destroyed the team's offensive rhythm. Now it is necessary to have a timeout. This is wise and timely. Fortunately, the 49ers' time management did not fall into chaos."
After two consecutive strikes, the San Francisco 49ers suffered two consecutive blows.
The Dallas Cowboys' defensive team once again showed its strength in the first half today, and its pass defense was impeccable; Lu Ke's performance cannot be said to be bad, and it still maintained the standard, but it lacked the flash of inspiration in the first two offenses. In the blink of an eye, twice The offensive opportunity was wasted.
The competition is so tense that it’s suffocating!
Troy grabbed the water bottle next to him and tried to take a sip of boiled water to moisten his throat. However, he found that his hands were trembling slightly because he was too excited. He was unable to open the bottle cap immediately, and the game on the field started again, so , he could only put down the water bottle and continue to explain at high speed.
"Six yards on third down. The San Francisco 49ers are now hanging on by a thread. They have no retreat. There is no difference between third down and fourth down at this time. Attack hard. This is the only option. They have two more opportunities to complete six yards. The yards advanced and the first attack was again obtained. However, the two attacks just now were frustrated and the game time was consumed again. Now there are only thirty-eight seconds left."
Troy took a deep breath. Even though he was used to seeing countless big scenes, the tension and excitement still lingered at the critical moments of every game. This is the charm of sports competitions. Every offense, every game, it's completely different.
Thirty-eight seconds, and it was still six yards in third gear. Just thinking about it in his mind, Troy felt his palms slippery.
At this moment, both teams on the court have completed their formation again.
The San Francisco 49ers set up a shotgun formation. Lu Ke cleared the backcourt and set up a full-fire formation. Outside of the five offensive linemen, all offensive weapons are listed:
The four receiving players are completely spread out, two on the left and two on the right, but their positions are closer to the outside, closer to the sideline; and in the gap between the offensive lineman and the right receiver, the running back Standing here——
This is the slot position, and the slot receivers derived from it are often super experts at short and intermediate passing routes. There are countless combinations of running routes that are difficult to guard against. The New England Patriots are the only one in the league who has used slot receivers to the extreme, and it is also one of their important weapons in winning three Super Bowls in four years.
Now, Lu Ke put in an all-out offensive stance.
On the other side, the Dallas Cowboys made a corresponding formation. Two cornerbacks and two linebackers implemented one-on-one coverage, targeting four receivers; the two safety guards stayed in the backfield. Prevent any potential long passes and cover when the frontline defense misses a man.
In the first-line area, two linebackers and three offensive linemen stood at the forefront, lined up. One of the linebackers' position corresponds to the 49ers' Marcus. It seems to be a man-to-man defense and a raid position. The entire front line was heavily stocked with troops, and the momentum of the powerful raid was not concealed at all.
The screams and cheers still couldn't stop, and they continued in a mighty manner. It seemed that the entire Candlestick Stadium had been completely ignited. The shock of the ground breaking that day did not affect the state of the players on the stadium at all. Everyone was paying attention. With a high degree of concentration and undivided attention, sparks gradually began to spread on the field.
"Attack!" Lu Ke's shout was steady and powerful, like an eagle gliding across the sky.
Troy's voice also sounded at the same time, "At the kickoff, the Cowboys chose a powerful raid, a full-attack raid formation, which completely tore apart the 49ers' offensive line. However, the offensive line players performed exceptionally well, resisting one-on-one. The unexpected surprise attack by the Cowboys was withheld! However, the entire offensive line was scattered and the field became extremely empty. DeMarcus Ware! DeMarcus Ware achieved a breakthrough and ran towards Lu Ke !”
"The Cowboys' man-to-man defense is extremely good, leaving almost no space for the pass! Lu Ke is observing, observing! Lu Ke tried to pass the ball to Ted Ginn, but the defense was immediately in place to intercept the pass. Route, oops, Ware has come up, sack? Is it a sack?"
Troy only felt that his heart had stopped beating. The ups and downs, back and forth in the last wave of attacks were so exciting that his heart fell into paralysis, and now it was almost on the verge of stopping.
"Lu Ke moved, Lu Ke chose to run with the ball! The entire offensive line and the entire defensive line have been paired one-on-one, scattered like clouds, and the entire pocket has been shattered! Lu Ke saw a passage, and he He chose to hold the ball and run! Jesus Christ! Lu Ke ran with the ball!"
Troy's eyes were about to fall off in surprise. After the first attack of the second half, Lu Ke once again showed his running ability. This... what on earth is going on? He has forgotten, the audience has forgotten, and even the Cowboys have almost forgotten, but at such a critical and important moment, Lu Ke actually gave up his passing skills and chose to run with the ball by himself!
God, isn't Lu Ke a traditional pocket quarterback?
"Lu Ke! Lu Ke! Lu Ke is running with the ball!" Troy felt like he was about to choke on his saliva, and he was so scared that he almost left his body.
At the critical moment, Lu Ke shouted in his mind, "Bullet time!"
Second update today.
