Following Walter's grimace, Lu Ke saw Scott and Alex warming up. A simple scene, but the meaning couldn't be more clear.
In the competition for the starting quarterback, if Lu Ke wants to stand out, avoiding injuries is a prerequisite. Otherwise, he will not even be qualified to compete, just like Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick before; now, Lu Ke has only shown some signs of injury, and the team has done well. Second hand preparation.
Facing Walter's kind reminder, Lu Ke had angels and demons at war in his mind.
One voice shouted, tell the truth. The hidden danger of injury affects not only one or a few games, but the entire career. Don't let the small lose the big; another voice shouted, this is not an injury at all. , it's just that the muscles are slightly tense, there is no need to make a fuss, he doesn't have much advantage in the first place, and if he is frankly slightly injured, the situation will definitely be more difficult.
In the blink of an eye, the devil still had the upper hand.
"Doctor, thank you, but I'm really fine." Lu Ke said.
Walter didn't buy it at all, "Whether something happens to you or not, that's up to me."
In competitive sports, it is common to play with injuries. Sometimes, the team will conceal the player's condition because the team needs them to continue to charge forward; sometimes, the player will ask the team doctor to conceal their condition because the players need to continue to stay on the field and fight hard. Similar situations are common in the league.
Walter began to conduct a simple inspection again; at the same time, on the court, the wind was surging.
Andy Dalton, who made his appearance again, showed incredible focus and commitment, truly awakening the strength of the 35th pick in the second round, and demonstrated his quarterback rating of over 100 in the first two games with his powerful actions. It's definitely not a wasted reputation.
An offense that lasted for six minutes and thirty-three seconds, with seven successful passes out of ten, coupled with four successful runs, successfully entered the red zone, and successfully connected with a superb and accurate eight-yard pass. AJ Green, the fourth overall pick in this year's first round, scored the Tigers' first touchdown in today's game!
When a touchdown is necessary, the touchdown comes.
Two rookie players, Andy Dalton and AJ Green, shined in this offense and both performed wonderfully. Dalton in particular was the key player, successfully converting two third-gear offenses. Leading the team forward through danger after danger. Even compared with Lu Ke, he is definitely not inferior.
Facing Lu Ke's wonderful performance, Dalton was also stimulated and inspired. He gradually got rid of the shackles of home games and the pressure of starting the whole game for the first time in his career. He truly concentrated on the game and played his best. reach your best level!
The No. 14s of both teams seemed to have recovered at this time, showing good competitive condition, and the chemical reaction of the game was continuing to collide; however, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team had not had time to take the field yet, because in the Cincinnati Bengals Before the extra point kick was completed, the time of the third quarter had been cleared, and all the suspense and excitement were left in the fourth quarter to determine the outcome.
The inspection is over. Walter looked at Lu Ke carefully. There was still a smile on that young face, calm, confident, steady, and full of vitality. In the end, Walter could only laugh dumbly and patted Lu Ke on the shoulder. "Go on, the team needs you to score a few more touchdowns. But remember to take an ice bath afterwards."
"That's what happens after the game." Lu Ke joked leisurely.
After Walter turned and left, Lu Ke stood up, moved his limbs, stretched his muscles, and tried to relax, but the faint tightness still lingered, and his arm muscles and back muscles were still slightly sore. Is this considered a minor injury? Temporarily It's unknown; what's certain is that this lingering tightness has an impact on the passing game.
When completing the passing technique, the nerves are tense and highly concentrated; but the body is relaxed, especially the right hand that passes the ball. It must maintain a soft feel and free relaxation to ensure that the fingertips can fully control the football. Now, the whole body is like a rubber band being straightened, and the effects are inevitable.
Standing at the edge of the field, Lu Ke used a short period of time to start doing simple yoga movements to relieve his muscles and nerves. The game is not over yet, he needs to get back to 100%.
At the beginning of the last quarter, the Cincinnati Bengals' special team took the lead. After successfully completing the extra point kick, the score was close to "10:17". This was a score that only needed one wave of offense to achieve the lead. Therefore, the pressure once again came to the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team and Lu Ke, especially when Dalton had just handed in a perfect answer and was full of momentum.
"The back-and-forth game was really fun to watch!" Kirk's commentator intervened at the right time. "They responded with a touchdown and a touchdown. Now, the Tigers' momentum is back again. The problem is, Can the San Francisco 49ers still be tough enough to maintain the lead? Or are they going to start to waste the game time trying to hold on to the victory?"
Lu Ke appears again.
They implemented strong raid tactics for three consecutive quarters and achieved sufficient results, but failed to contain the San Francisco 49ers' scoring. This was really a challenge for the Tigers' defensive coaches; after entering the fourth quarter, they finally did something. Out of adjustment:
The first line is still in the "4-3" formation, but the three linebackers are obviously standing half a step back. They can bypass the obstruction of the offensive line and directly launch offensive defense; at the same time, they can also attack the cornerbacks and cornerbacks at any time. The safety guards make up the defense and use more to hit less, which to some extent curbs the momentum of short and intermediate passes.
The same formation, but similar to the attack team's pistol formation, with many changes and countless possibilities.
Lu Ke keenly captured the changes in the focus of the defensive formation, but the judgment in the headset was still slightly behind. The game field was changing rapidly, and opportunities must be seized with just a thought. Therefore, Lu Ke did not continue to wait for tactics. The changes and arrangements were made, and the kick-off was chosen immediately, as if there was no gathering attack.
After the kickoff, Lu Ke turned around without any hesitation and handed the football to running back Marcus Lynch.
Lynch held the ball in both hands and ran forward quickly. He kept observing the emotions of the offensive and defensive fronts from the corner of his eyes. He immediately noticed the heavy accumulation of troops in the middle area. With a sudden brake and a sharp turn, Lynch stuck to the The back of his own offensive lineman made a circle and rushed out from the boundary of the right offensive line, which is the running route of the slot receiver.
The Tigers' entire defensive formation took a half-step back. This small half step creates a small gap between the offensive and defensive fronts. For passing the ball, this gap has no effect at all; but for running the ball, it continues to accelerate. , room for continued advancement.
After Lynch advanced six yards, a defensive end and two linebackers intercepted the ball in time and did not let Lynch continue to sprint.
During the kickoff just now, the Tigers' special team kicked the football out of the baseline; then, the 49ers started attacking from their own twenty-yard line, and Lynch's running ball successfully led the team's offense to the twenty-yard line. On the six-yard line.
Second gear four yards.
The San Francisco 49ers once again completed the formation, the pistol formation; but made some slight changes.
The offensive line directly in front is still in a five-man formation, with Michael Crabtree standing on the left and Logan Newman standing on the right; four yards behind the offensive line, Lu Ke stands impressively, with a pistol formation on the left. Marcus Lynch was the standard player, but Kyle Williams was summoned from the right side to stand side by side with Lu Ke.
Like a door god, protecting the law from left to right.
Such a symmetrical wing-flying formation is not a conventional pistol formation; what's more, Ted Ginn is far, far away seven yards away from the left, slightly behind the offensive line and half a step away from the horizontal line. . The whole formation is really weird.
The Tigers' defensive team standing on the opposite side had to make corresponding adjustments. An outside linebacker came forward and lined up with the four defensive fronts. Five players faced off against the five players on the offensive front, still posing as a powerful surprise attack.
But at the same time, the zone defense tactics changed to man-to-man tactics. One player stood alone in front of Gene, defending one-on-one; the two cornerbacks corresponded to the positions of Newman and Crabtree, and the two linebackers were separated from each other, located on both sides of the defensive front. Be prepared for a surprise attack.
Finally there is one player, about six or seven yards behind, who is responsible for the defensive backfield.
Lu Ke's pupils shrank slightly, and the entire defensive formation formed a composition in his mind. This was a surprise formation, and at the same time, the passing defense completed the coverage as much as possible. So, what does this mean? This means that the run defense area in the middle is weak; and thanks to the supplementary positions of linebackers on both sides, the running space and passing space are relatively compressed.
He glanced at Atkins lightly out of the corner of his eye. Atkins' raid and sack status was very good today, so his desire to "attack" is extremely strong, and he may even rush forward forcefully.
In an instant, thoughts surged in his mind, and he made a decisive decision among the permutations and combinations of various tactics.
Stepping forward, Lu Ke shouted the slogan again and changed the tactics at the last moment; this time, the 49ers' offensive team remained indifferent, and all the players did not change their positions. This suddenly made Atkins' heart rise. There was a sense of uneasiness, but before this feeling had time to expand and spread, Lu Ke had already retreated into the pistol formation again and announced the kick-off.
There was no time to think. Atkins rushed forward suddenly, tore through the offensive line with the strength of a bull, and rushed towards Lu Ke. But just as he broke through the pocket, he caught a man with his peripheral vision. The figure is rushing towards the ball quickly, and the reddish-brown color in his arms is clearly a football!
Oops.
