"Special Assignment: A Challenge from Geno Atkins."
Because time was so tight, Lu Ke did not have time to read the mission description and mission rewards carefully. He only had time to glance at the mission requirements, "Lead the offensive team to score: three times and more; Defeat Geno Atkins: dodge and sack three times and More than three times; rely on yourself to win: special skills are disabled."
Although it is said that Lu Ke's special skill now only has one "absolute pace", and it cannot play much role originally; but it is obvious that the detailed requirements of such a special task are facing the urgency of Atkins. In terms of playing style, Lu Ke needs to cheer up and rely on tactical combinations to defeat his opponents.
The duel between quarterbacks and defensive tackles and defensive ends is never a physical confrontation.
Lu Ke's physical fitness is not top-notch, so comparing the two rookies, quarterback Cam Newton and defensive end JJ Watt, Watt's height and weight have the absolute upper hand, and the physical fitness of both players is the same. The best among the best, but if two people have a head-to-head physical confrontation with their bodies, Newton will definitely be injured, there is no doubt.
Because the core skills of a quarterback are passing touch and tactical awareness; and the training of defensive ends and defensive tackles is physical confrontation. They need to fight against offensive fronts, against running backs, and to sack quarterbacks. Their physical fitness is The basics, while the awareness of catching opportunities and vulnerabilities is the upper limit.
Even for Newton, who is known as "Superman", it is unrealistic to ask him to use his body to fight against defensive tackles and defensive ends.
Therefore, the confrontation between Lu Ke and Atkins is actually a confrontation between wisdom and strength. Lu Ke must successfully predict the opponent's defensive intentions by reading the defense, and then direct the offensive line to resist accordingly. Then, through the running of the receiving players and the tactical distribution of the running backs, he can tear open the defense and break through Atkin. Si and his defensive teammates completed the advance.
The task requirements in special tasks are like this: the first is to score, whether it is a free kick or a touchdown, the 49ers need to score; the second is to dodge, through the blocking of the offensive line, to avoid Atkins' sack. Although it is impossible to know how to judge the specific execution during the game, Lu Ke has basically understood his task.
Therefore, with his special skills disabled, Lu Ke completed communication with the coaching staff and boldly used tricks to attack, deceiving the Tigers' entire defensive team and achieving a large number of yards.
However, this is just the beginning. Not to mention the entire game, even this offense is not over yet.
Now, the San Francisco 49ers' offense has reached the thirty-five-yard line in the opponent's half, and the offense continues. According to the coaching staff's tactical arrangement, after kick-off, Lu Ke handed the football to Lynch again.
This time, there were no tricks, but a true running game.
The Cincinnati Bengals' defensive team was highly focused. After noticing the pass between Lu Ke and Lynch, two linebackers and a defensive end flew towards Lu Ke to cover up; while the remaining four A defensive lineman and a linebacker rushed forward ferociously, blocking all Lynch's running routes.
However, the remnants of the trick offense still exist.
After holding the ball, Lynch did not rush blindly, but carefully captured the defensive misalignment, then bypassed the offensive and defensive fronts and rushed out towards the gap on the right; the corresponding cornerback on the right and the safety guard immediately stepped up to defend, but the speed was still slightly slower by half a beat.
Lynch was like a bulldozer, advancing seven yards before being pushed to the ground.
The momentum of the entire offense and defense was suddenly raised to a higher level; at this time, the San Francisco 49ers had a slight upper hand.
The offense continued, three yards on second down.
After completing the formation again, Lu Ke did not immediately bend down to prepare for the kickoff. Instead, he stood up straight and carefully looked at the formation of the entire defensive team. It was still a "4-3" formation with a strong attack. Moreover, a linebacker also moved up the position, forming a five-in-one and two-in-the-back posture in the first half. All eyes were aimed sharply at Lu Ke.
At this time, the end zone is only twenty-eight yards away, which is the area that can be directly hit by long passes. However, the Cincinnati Bengals still put on a posture of regardless and forcing pressure, which is the same as the Dallas Cowboys last week. Their tactics were exactly the opposite. They had made up their minds: if the snake was within reach, all they needed to do was to restrain Lu Ke, and all problems would be solved.
Pocket movement and physical confrontation ability are Lu Ke's shortcomings. It is not difficult to find out through the first two games. However, in the second week of the game, Lu Ke ran with the ball twice, showing amazing mobility, which must also be noticed.
The Tigers' defensive formation has strong offensive power; at the same time, a large number of troops are accumulated on the front line. Even if the surprise attack is not successful, the run prevention effect is particularly good. It can be seen that they have formulated detailed and meticulous tactics for Lu Ke: using fast to control the fast, strong confrontation, and trying to avoid the shortcomings of their weak passing defense as much as possible.
However, a trick attack slightly disrupted the Tigers' deployment.
Now, the test moment of the game has arrived: should they stick to their previous tactics, or should they make appropriate changes. The game is changing rapidly, and players must make adjustments according to real-time conditions. This is the true expression of the player's strength.
Geno Atkins stared at Lu Ke with a high degree of concentration. He could even clearly feel the excitement and excitement.
Lu Ke is just a rookie quarterback, an undrafted rookie, and a Chinese-American player; but in the face of such pressure, Lu Ke still showed excellent style.
Well, he can too.
Atkins secretly encouraged himself, gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, and tensing his muscles, like a cheetah ready to go; he noticed Lu Ke's sight, the sight hidden in the helmet was so focused, So powerful, reading the defense carefully and carefully, but he was not moved at all——
Implement tactics. This was the only thought in Atkins' mind. He stayed the same to cope with all changes, and interrupted the entire offense before Lu Ke passed the ball. He did it the first time, and he was bound to be able to do it the second time.
Then, Atkins saw Lu Ke slowly bending down and standing in the shotgun formation, making a catching gesture with both hands, as if he was ready. Atkins put aside all distracting thoughts and paid close attention to Lu Ke's gestures. Amidst the bustling noise, Lu Ke was almost ready to kick off, but the next second, Lu Ke stood up straight again. .
After the tightness reached its extreme, it suddenly relaxed. This means that Lu Ke is ready to change his tactics.
Atkins couldn't help but adjust his position. After tightening to the extreme, his muscles were a little sore, but his attention was still not distracted. He listened carefully to Lu Ke's on-the-spot tactical changes, "Green 23; Green 23; Green 23." "
The same slogan was repeated three or four times. After making sure that all the offensive players heard it, Lu Ke stepped back, but not too far. The shotgun formation turned into a pistol formation. Lin Qi Ye immediately stepped forward and stood beside Lu Ke.
Atkins' right foot supported the grass and kept touching the ground, like stepping on the accelerator of a motorcycle, and began to accelerate for himself. Lu Ke's kick-off voice came to his ears, "Kick-off, kick-off, kick-off... kick!" "
The signal is coming!
"Bang", Atkins rushed out suddenly, like a swordfish, flying out of the water, slumping his shoulders, charging forward, and by the way, his hands had already begun to stretch forward, ready to push away the offensive players and tear a gap. But then there was a "beep beep beep" whistle in his ears, and Atkins couldn't help but brake suddenly and stopped. However, the castration was too strong, and he still stumbled forward.
At this time, Atkins realized: the offensive line players were not moving at all.
what does that mean? He had already moved.
The so-called early movement means that before the center of the offensive team officially kicks off, a player takes the lead in crossing the line between the two teams and starts attacking or defending in advance. This is "early movement", moving early and starting early. It's the same reason as a false start in a running game.
In the attack just now, Lu Ke's kick-off command was not complicated. It seemed to continue his usual style, which was crisp and clean without any sloppiness. But in fact, there was something fishy hidden in the kick-off command: the offensive team did not kick off the ball at all. But the defensive players had already started to move, so a foul was committed.
"Damn it!" Atkins cursed fiercely. With his concentration high, he was a little too eager and excited. He didn't even recognize the trap hidden in Lu Ke's kick-off command, so he foolishly stepped on it. Go in.
Sure enough, after a brief communication, the referee did not have any objections. He turned on the microphone on his waist and announced the penalty to the audience, "Move early, defensive team, No. 97, lose five yards, and the offensive team automatically gets the first down. "
Because in the attack just now, the San Francisco 49ers only had three yards left to complete. After gaining five yards due to a foul, they automatically gained the first offense. Now they were at the twenty-three-yard line.
Atkins glanced at Lu Ke, and then noticed Lu Ke's focused and sharp eyes, a head-on collision! In the opening confrontation between the two, Atkins completed a sack and a hasty shot, while Lu Ke deceived an early move and advanced to the front of the end zone.
The two of them were evenly matched.
Atkins clenched his fists heavily. After being annoyed, his high fighting spirit became more and more fierce, and then he shouted loudly, "Ah!" to demonstrate to his opponent and to encourage himself.
However, Lu Ke didn't care, looked away, and called his teammates over again.
Just now, this was a premeditated deception. Lu Ke smelled Atkins' tightness and cleverly seized on his opponent's weakness. If it failed, he would not suffer any loss, and he would kick off the ball as usual and advance; if he succeeded, he would get the first down without any loss and reorganize the red zone offense——
Just like this.
