Among the five main receiving players of the San Francisco 49ers, there are three wide receivers and two tight ends.
Overall, the wide receiver is lighter, faster, and has more versatile catching methods; the tight end is stronger, and pick-and-roll and opening are essential skills. Compared with catching the ball, the collision and breakthrough after catching the ball are Their strengths.
Among the two tight ends, Vernon Davis has better physical talent, while Logan Newman has better footwork and catching skills; among the three wide receivers, Kyle Williams and Ted - Gene is known for his speed and nimbleness and delicate catching touch. Michael Crabtree is a tall and strong wide receiver. His speed advantage is not so obvious. His strong point is to catch the ball in desperate situations.
At this time, the three receivers on the left invaded the Tigers' backfield like a tornado. Crabtree was the first to fall behind, running a right-angle route, invading the undefended soft zone in the middle like a sharp blade.
Facing the big receiver, the Tigers did not dare to take it lightly, and there was still a defensive vacuum in the middle. Therefore, the two players separated and quickly took advantage of their speed to block Crabtree's running route and launched a close defense. .
Williams and Gene were fully focused, not affected at all, and continued to sprint with all their strength. The speed of the two seemed to have reached the extreme. It could be seen that Gene had a slight advantage; walking side by side Sprinting, after passing the thirty-yard line, the two people parted ways——
Gene runs toward the outside, but Williams cuts into the middle.
The two defensive players of the Tigers couldn't help but be stunned. They looked back at the position of their pockets, but still did not see Lu Ke passing the ball. This meant that the defensive position was still unable to be accurately judged; in just the blink of an eye, the two people made a decision. Select, one man to defend one, and start to keep up with the two receivers.
The zone defense strategy eventually evolved into a man-to-man defense strategy. What's worse is that with a moment's hesitation, even just a millisecond, they fell behind. In front of two wide receivers who are known for their speed, the gap is widening quietly, invisible to the naked eye, but with the sprinting pace. The rhythm has been distinguished.
Is it Gene or Williams? Or maybe Crabtree? Wait, where's Newman? Where is Lu Ke's most trusted receiving player, Logan Newman?
"Lu Ke kicked off the football. The Tigers' defensive players seemed to have been affected by the previous fake kickoff. Although there was no real foul, the reaction speed was obviously a quarter of a beat slower. The 49ers' receiving player had already seized the advantage. . Wow, it was really dazzling on the court, the 49ers offense ran a kaleidoscope of routes."
During the TV commentary process, Kirk's speed slowed down a little, and he did not explain everything in detail. After gradually getting used to the operation mode of TV, his commentary gradually began to have his own style and became sharp.
"The Tigers' zone defense seems to cover the entire field, not falling behind at all, and can't find any gaps at all; but it seems to be full of loopholes, and breakthrough points can be found in every corner and every direction. The problem now is, Can the 49ers' rookie quarterback be keen on catching opportunities?"
Kirk didn't want an answer to his question at all, but Teddy took over, "The more important question is why Lu Ke hasn't passed the ball for so long. You see, he has been adjusting his steps inside the pocket. There is obviously a pass." The ball was open - at least I saw that Lynch had run out of the open space, but he had no intention of passing the ball."
Teddy's reminder also made Kirk notice Lu Ke in his pocket. He adjusted his steps in an orderly manner and at the same time kept vigilant observation of the running route of the receiving player. However, he always held the football with both hands and never made any passing movements. Not even a deceptive feint, more like... hesitation.
"This is a bit strange." Kirk expressed his thoughts, "Lu Ke is not a quarterback who is slow to judge the pass. He has been observing now and has not taken the initiative to run out of the pocket. Obviously, there is something wrong in his mind. The same calculation. The 49ers' offensive line provided very solid pocket protection this time. Oh, I can't boast, I can't boast, the pocket is broken. Atkins broke through the pocket again. We don't know how many times we have mentioned this today. It’s a name!”
Teddy pointed to the field, "Lu Ke passed the ball! With a light step, he actually dodged Atkins' tackle, then stepped forward, raised his hand and started passing the ball! This... this is a bullet Pass the ball, God, this is not a rainbow pass, this is a bullet pass!" Teddy's voice began to change with excitement.
This was not the commentary mode Teddy was used to, so Kirk immediately took over, "Now the San Francisco 49ers' receiving players have run out of range. Lynch is the only one in the short passing area, and the other players are moving deep. Hitting the route run; Newman and Crabtree in the middle of the field, and God, Williams and Ginn are already in the red zone!"
Kirk's heart also tightened, "Bullet pass! This is a bullet pass. Lu Ke aimed at the far end and passed a bullet pass! God! This pass was like a cannonball, truly Explained the secret of the cannonball arm! The pass was aimed at...the middle area, it turned out to be the middle route!"
"The pass drew a slight arc, completely avoiding the three players in the middle area. Crabtree was not the target of the ball. This was a pass aimed at the backcourt! Two defensive players of the Tigers , No. 21 cornerback Adam Jones tried to jump up and break up the pass, but... ho ho ho!"
Kirk's explanation was interrupted by Teddy's exclamation. Both of them couldn't help but exclaim. Kirk continued, "Lu Ke seemed to have expected this scene. His pass was slightly higher. Adam Jones's jump failed to reach the football, and the football flew directly over his head and kept flying! God, this pass has power, speed, arc, and control! It's really exciting!"
In just the blink of an eye, the situation on the field has changed countless times. Teddy's breathing can no longer keep up with the rhythm, but Kirk is still getting more and more excited, and his impassioned commentary once again reproduces the scene he had on the radio. The splendor and passion!
"The forward momentum of the pass was very fierce. After halftime, forty yards, thirty-five yards, thirty yards, twenty-five yards...Jesus Christ! The power of this pass has not weakened. In the end, What happened? Who was the target of the pass? Ted Ginn?"
Kirk's eyes quickly scanned, and the pen and paper in his hand flew out. "No, it's not Ted Ginn, it's Kyle Williams! Crazy! This pass selection is really That's crazy! But wait, twenty yards, fifteen yards, ten yards, five yards! Five yards on the line! Caught, Williams caught it! God, God, God! Caught! Caught Living!"
Kyle Williams concentrated, sprinted, sprinted, sprinted again, sprinted with all his strength, and sprinted without thinking. In this tactic, Lu Ke did not determine the passing option. He, Gene, and Crabtree were all passing options, and Newman and Lynch on the other side were the covering routes. Whoever runs out of space becomes the target of the pass.
This is a long pass! Instructions from the coaching staff, they caught the hesitation and hesitation of the Tigers' defensive team, and gradually became more conservative in defensive tactical arrangements. Especially after two consecutive successful runs, the Tigers' defensive team is now even more distracted. Kai Lai, so the coaching staff asked for a long pass tactic.
They believe in Lu Ke's long passing ability.
Williams knew that in today's game, he only became the target of a catch once, completing the catch and advancing four yards. His performance was really mediocre, but this was his opportunity, and he would not miss it easily. He only had to fight for it until the end. , to know the result, right?
So, Williams started running, running as hard as he could. He didn't even notice the running routes of Crabtree and Gene. All his thoughts were on his own feet, running with all his heart. , just like Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump".
After crossing the 30-yard line, Williams started to rush forward toward his right at a 45-degree angle. He turned little by little, but his speed was still not hindered in any way. Instead, he went further and improved to Extreme, this was his extreme, he even felt that his hands and feet were starting to burn, and the oxygen in his lungs was gradually starting to ignite.
There is no competition, no worries, no difficulties, just sprinting. There is only one thought left in Williams' brain, running.
After running to the extreme, he crossed the ten-yard line, turned around suddenly, and began to retreat quickly. Then the cannon-like football appeared in his sight, slightly outlining a small arc, and the ball that broke through the air. The momentum is so brutal and ferocious that you can even see the air waves and flow lines outside the rugby circle.
The ball is coming!
Williams' pupils shrank slightly and he began to slow down, constantly adjusting his pace using small steps. Surprisingly, he didn't feel nervous at all, and his ethereal brain reached the peak of concentration, as if he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind -
He put his hands on his chest and made a catching gesture, and then saw the football hitting his chest steadily and without any deviation.
"boom!"
Hitting the red heart, the powerful and heavy pass did not slow down the momentum and could continue to fly for a while. Williams grabbed the football with both hands, and his hands were slightly numb. The breath in his chest was suddenly suffocated, and he pointed. The tip began to tremble, but it was tightened tighter and tighter, as if it was holding the most important treasure in the world.
Then, he quickly retreated and then retreated. On the one hand, he was buffering the impact, and on the other hand, he was adjusting his center of gravity. But then he felt the momentum of a figure rushing behind him. Williams paused his knees slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and lowered his shoulders. Sinking, rolling backwards heavily.
It's not over, the attack is not over yet!
