Boiling, the Candlestick Stadium was completely boiling, overwhelming! Thunder! Majestic!
No one was an exception. All the spectators stood up, roared wildly, and cheered. The overwhelming shouts were like a tsunami, swirling around the entire stadium, swirling again; stirring, stirring again.
Third gear, six yards, thirty-eight seconds. In a critical situation with his pocket torn and a sack imminent, Lu Ke used his legs to run out of the first attack and completed a full seventeen-yard advance. This was the best result for the two teams combined in today's game. , the longest run of the ball not created by a running back but by a quarterback, a traditional pocket quarterback.
The commentary box has exploded, and everyone - literally everyone is exclaiming in disbelief, even ESPN's Charles Davis is no exception.
Not only because Lu Ke, the pocket quarterback, made an unexpected choice and shockingly chose to lead the team forward with both feet; but also because Lu Ke successfully completed a 17-yard running ball and pushed the entire Dallas Cowboys forward. The defensive team caused a bloody storm and chaos!
The point is that Lu Ke's running movements with the ball are really too clumsy. Compared with his movements in the pocket, they are completely different.
His dodging and pushing while running with the ball, his clumsy steps and awkward posture make him look like a dancing circus clown; his leg-raising movements are also obviously overused, and his legs are raised too high. , but uncoordinatedly affected the speed of advancement.
But unfortunately, even with such a bad run, he can always dodge the tackle and continue to advance at the critical moment. The defensive players of the Dallas Cowboys can clearly feel that everything is so close and within reach, but it is just a hair's length away, so close and yet so far away.
In the Fox TV studio, Kirk once again said his classic saying, "Incredible! Incredible! What did you say just happened? Incredible!" Kirk sighed repeatedly, but such simple words made all the commentators The mood is expressed vividly——
If possible, they would like to use foul language. But, no. So, "incredible", this is the best way to express it.
The turbulent and hot excitement rushed to his head, and the adrenaline exploded like a hydrogen bomb. Lu Ke felt that the blood in his body began to speed up again, and he seemed to be able to feel the burning breath on the surface of his skin.
My knees are slightly weak, my calves are slightly tight, and my fingertips are trembling slightly. After all, running the ball is not Lu Ke's strong point. He chooses bullet time, but all actions must be completed by himself. It is more difficult than absolute pace; but it is also more effective. Within five seconds, the team Already approaching the edge of the end zone.
After the hearty roar, Lu Ke quickly calmed down, threw the football to the referee, greeted his teammates, came to the 27-yard line, raised his head and looked at the time, twenty-nine seconds. The attack just now consumed nine seconds, so there were only twenty-nine seconds left in the game.
Sure enough, running the ball is still too time-consuming. If it is not a last resort, Lu Ke would not choose to run the ball at all. However, this is not the moment to regret. They have reached the twenty-seven-yard line, which means that the Cowboys' defensive intensity will increase exponentially. Today, the Cowboys' pass defense has always performed well, leaving Lu Kehe to catch the ball. There is really not much space for the players.
After re-formulating the tactics, Lu Ke chose to pass the ball to Kyle Williams. It was a short pass of six yards. Williams completed the catch, but three Dallas Cowboys defenders made timely defense and violently collided.
"Bang! Bang bang!" The dull impact sound was so strong that you could even hear the crisp sound of the collision of helmets, which directly knocked the football from Williams' arms and dropped it to the ground, forming a dropped ball.
The entire audience gasped, and their hearts stopped beating in an instant.
Fortunately, Logan, who was standing next to him, reacted in time and immediately pounced forward to grab the dropped ball. Immediately afterwards, all the other players around him swooped over, like stacks of Arhats, crushing Logan layer by layer. At the bottom, everyone is trying to grab the dropped ball. Whoever grabs it gets the ball.
If the Dallas Cowboys get the ball here, it's game over.
The referees kept blowing whistles and it took nearly a minute to separate the players one by one. Even the players of the Cowboys and 49ers were paying close attention to the situation of the ball. In the end, Logan stood up in embarrassment, raising the football in his hands high, and the shouts of all the fans came out in a tsunami. Down.
The referee raised his hand to indicate: The San Francisco 49ers have the ball!
The first offense is equivalent to an incomplete pass; the second offense is ten yards and seventeen seconds. Because of the problem of dropped balls, the game time was consumed a bit, leaving less and less time for Lu Ke.
"There are now seventeen seconds left in the game, and the San Francisco 49ers still have two timeouts in hand, but the question is, how should they attack? The Cowboys' defense made no mistakes today!"
"Seventeen seconds, twenty-seven yards, will the 49ers quarterback go long? Will the Cowboys' secondary make the same mistake?"
"The game has entered the most difficult stage. The 49ers almost lost the game here. Fortunately, the ball was picked up by Newman, which maintained a glimmer of hope. However, this mere glimmer of hope is not optimistic."
"The suspense continued. In seventeen seconds, the game really entered the bayonet stage. The problem now is not with the Dallas Cowboys, but with the San Francisco 49ers quarterback. This first-year quarterback is facing such a tight situation. At such a critical moment, will he dare to pass the ball? What will happen to his passing accuracy?"
"I can't believe that the fate of the San Francisco 49ers is now in the hands of a rookie quarterback. The difficulty is too high, the risks are too high, and the hope is getting slimmer. Now, everyone must ask the same question: At the fatal moment of the pass, can this rookie still remain calm with his passing accuracy and tactical choices?"
"Seventeen seconds, the most critical seventeen seconds are here!"
…
The bustling voices above the commentary box were endless, and each commentator was expressing his or her own views and opinions. The tense atmosphere at the scene was almost suffocating.
But for Lu Ke, all this had no impact at all. Instead, his brain became clearer and clearer. Countless tactical options and arrangements flashed by over and over again. Jim Hubble's voice of arranging tactics came from the headphones, and all the noise in the world disappeared. Reduced to the background, you can even hear your own heartbeat that has stabilized again——
After running the ball just now, the chaotic heartbeat returned to track.
Raising his head, Lu Ke looked at the panting Kyle Williams, "Are you okay?" The impact just now was too violent and scary.
However, Williams shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then shrugged, "Sorry, I didn't hug the ball just now."
Lu Ke waved his hand to show that he didn't care. This is a forced fumble, one player against three players, and Williams cannot be blamed; if there is any blame, Lu Ke's defensive reading is not in place, which is also part of the reason. What's more, now is not the time to pursue mistakes, they must concentrate on the last offensive!
After quickly laying out the tactics, Lu Ke clapped his hands and without saying anything else, signaled that everyone could go forward and form a formation. It seemed that this was a normal and simple attack. Just now, Lu Ke arranged five different running routes to see which player could open up the gap. He acted according to the opportunity and completed the pass.
Five routes, Marcus included.
Two consecutive runs tore up the defense, and it was still at the 27-yard line. The Dallas Cowboys will inevitably need to allocate troops to defend the run, especially when Lu Ke seems to have the ability to run, so passing the ball Defense is certainly not monolithic. This is Lu Ke's opportunity.
The San Francisco 49ers completed their formation, and the Candlestick Stadium became quiet for an instant, so quiet that you could even hear the sound of the wind. Everyone stared intently and held their breath.
Lu Ke stood up straight, looked at the opposing defensive formation carefully, then slowly bent down, his eyes locked on DeMarcus Weir and Sean Lee, his sharp and sharp eyes powerfully As it hit, the sound of the wind suddenly stopped, as if the entire time and space had stopped.
"attack!"
Lu Ke announced the kick-off. After feeling the touch of the rugby with his hands, he adjusted the ball-holding posture of his hands and quickly backed away. The entire area in front of him was like a goddess scattering flowers. All the players were scattered. There seemed to be no gaps. It's everywhere, but there seems to be no gap.
The running trajectory of the red jersey can be seen clearly. The Dallas Cowboys chose pass defense and returned to the familiar mode of the first half. There was no surprise attack and only three players were left to defend against runs. The other players were all scattered and fully covered. Narrow passing area.
Logan Newman seemed to have run out of the gap, six yards in front of the right; Kyle Williams also seemed to have run out of the gap, eight yards in front; Marcus Lynch was still relatively parallel. Position on the right, ready to catch a short horizontal pass.
However, Lu Ke chose Michael Crabtree!
With a slight glance, without thinking, without hesitation, without pausing, he raised his right hand and seemed to throw it lightly. The football drew a raised parabola, like a rainbow, which was particularly dazzling in the sun. He passed over the heads of the offensive and defensive linemen, over the heads of the players in the short passing area, and over the mid-passing area, accurately aiming at the lower left corner of the end zone——
This is a 27-yard rainbow pass!
However, the parabola seems to be a bit too high, far, far beyond the height limit; and the arc of the parabola's descent does not seem to be too sharp. Is it a passing error? Fly directly out of the baseline and sideline?
etc! no!
In his sight, he saw Crabtree leaping high, stretching out his hands with all his strength, trying to catch the football in mid-air!
