Before formally reviewing the rewards for the special mission, Lu Ke did not rush, but calmed down and thought carefully about how the mission was completed. Not for the next assignment, but for reading the game.
There are three mission requirements for special missions, leading the offensive team to score and winning by yourself. Both of these are very easy to understand, but what about defeating Geno Atkins?
In today's game, Lu Ke suffered a total of four sacks, two of which were before the special tasks appeared, and two of which were after. However, after the special tasks appeared, the offensive line's performance actually improved - —
In my memory, after Atkins pounced on him, Lu Ke relied on his feet to avoid the sack and finally completed the pass. This happened only once. Literally speaking, the requirements of the special task are only completed once, but what about the other two times?
"Xiaoqi, can I understand that Atkins tried to launch a surprise attack; but I read through the defense and then arranged the offensive line, effectively blocking the opponent's surprise attack. This can be regarded as completing the task?" Think seriously After a while, Lu Ke put forward his conjecture.
"Yes." Xiao Qi gave an affirmative answer.
Although Xiao Qi did not explain further, Lu Ke confirmed his thoughts.
For quarterbacks, direct confrontation with defensive players is not their way of playing, even for running quarterbacks. After all, the quarterback's job is to pass the ball and confront the defensive line. This is the offense. The job of the front line; so, how does the quarterback perform against the defense?
Defensive reading, offensive formation, and tactical arrangements. Through his own observation and wisdom, the quarterback effectively uses the advantages of his teammates to complete the interception of defensive players and organize an effective protective pocket; and then leads the ball through the running routes of the receiving players and the combination of different tactics. The team completes its advance.
As the brains of the team, the quarterback's physical confrontation ability is very important. When the pocket is torn, their resistance space is very limited, so the ability to resist is indeed important; but what is more important is tactical thinking, tactical awareness and Crisis capture——
Through the arrangement of the offensive front, the quarterback can snipe the surprise attack of the defensive front; through the design of short passing tactics, the quarterback can complete the advancement before the defensive team initiates an effective confrontation; through the prediction of misplaced tactics, the defense can be completely disrupted formation, and then lead the team to continue to advance.
A truly top-notch quarterback can stand in the pocket and complete all offenses without any physical contact at all, just like a fort. This is the essential meaning of the team's brain.
After the new generation of running quarterbacks gradually emerges, traditional pocket quarterbacks still occupy a major position in the league. This is the most direct manifestation. Twenty thousand tactical arrangements are far more complicated than people imagine.
Of course, that's just the "top" quarterbacks. For most average quarterbacks, they do not have the ability to read defenses and predict in advance, so they need a more powerful tactical system to effectively utilize the offensive line through the arrangements of the offensive coach; or more To keep it simple, give yourself solid pocket protection with top offensive linemen.
In today's game, Lu Ke successfully built a pocket that was not solid but effective. Especially in the fourth quarter, he made many successful tactical mismatches and completely destroyed the Tigers' defense. formation, and then pulled away the distance with overwhelming force and won the game.
Therefore, Lu Ke completed the special mission. In the duel with Atkins, he had the upper hand.
It is very interesting to reinterpret special tasks every week. Now, Lu Ke is further aware of his shortcomings. After experiencing the game, Lu Ke had several different points-adding plans in his mind.
First of all, he really needs to improve his physical fitness, first is speed, second is strength, and third is explosive power. When facing a pocket tear, he needs to dodge the first sack as much as possible, otherwise, his 71-point running ability with the ball and his 70-point running and passing ability will have no room to use; Even if you cannot dodge, your physical resistance needs to be improved to avoid potential injuries.
Just because you didn’t get hurt today doesn’t mean you won’t get hurt next time.
Secondly, he needs to improve his ability to fake runs, pass and protect the ball. These two statistics are now terrible, the former is 45 points, and the latter is 59 points. In today's game, he lost the ball once because of these two skills.
In football, every turnover resulting in a change of possession can be fatal.
Thirdly, he still needs to improve his tactical awareness and observation vision. This is a little inspiration from today's special mission.
In fact, these two statistics are very good. The tactical awareness is 75 points and the observation field is 70 points, both reaching the average level. Originally, Lu Ke thought that such a score was enough, and there was no need to worry for the time being; but after experiencing today's game, especially after the special task, Lu Ke realized that there was still a gap between being an excellent quarterback, and he still needed further improvement.
The problem now is that Lu Ke can superimpose all the points on physical fitness, but the improvement of the quarterback's special skills will temporarily slow down the pace. The result is obvious——
The physical confrontation ability has been improved, but the quarterback's special skills have slowed down relatively. During the game, the quarterback cannot effectively open up the situation through his skills, but will face more collisions. Although after improving physical fitness, these collisions can be withstood, the team is still unable to advance and win.
It's like a turtle shell. The opponent cannot break through, and similarly, he cannot break through.
On the contrary, Lu Ke focused on improving the quarterback's special skills, opening up the situation through tactical arrangements and passing skills, and completing the advance before the opponent broke the pocket; however, the game field was changing rapidly, and if the opponent broke through in time, Lu Ke would have an affair. If there is no physical collision, then the difficulties faced in today's game will continue.
This is a matter of trade-offs. There are no absolute pros and cons, only relative priorities. However, Lu Ke is not sure how far the two skills of tactical awareness and observation vision need to be improved before he can truly control the game and avoid the disadvantage of physical confrontation?
Three points-adding plans, three different directions, will also lead to different results. It's a difficult choice.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Ke did not rush to add points, but first accepted his special mission reward, "Point lottery +1, unknown special skill package +1", and took the lead in opening the familiar latter, experiencing absolute pace and bullet time. After that, Lu Ke already had a certain understanding of the special skill package.
With a crisp sound of "ding", Xiao Qi's voice came over, "Congratulations on gaining the special skill 'Copper Skin and Iron Bone', the number of uses is 3/3."
This is a brand new special skill. I was not too surprised. I opened the drop-down menu and started reading the skill description. Compared with bullet time, this skill is much simpler.
In fact, it literally means copper skin and iron bones. When encountering a strong impact or capture, using this skill, Lu Ke's physical skills will enter the peak state. He is not afraid of any form of impact or confrontation, and not only will he not be injured , and you won’t feel any side effects.
This means that Lu Ke has three opportunities to allow his opponents to hit him without any scruples; however, which quarterback would be so stupid to stand still and wait for his opponent to hit him? The only possibility is , when the pocket is completely compressed or torn, the quarterback has nowhere to escape and is forced to encounter a sack, then the "copper skin and iron bones" can come in handy at this moment.
However, there is a drawback, "Xiao Qi, this is not a passive skill, but an active skill. If I encounter a sack, how can I have time to summon the skill?" Everything happened in the blink of an eye, the quarterback's With all the focus on the pass, it's impossible to notice the presence of a defensive player, especially a sack coming from the blind side.
"The heart moves at will." Xiao Qi seemed to be able to feel Lu Ke's helplessness. After a simple explanation, he took the initiative to add, "When you feel the impact, just summon special skills and all the impact force will be offset. , the body will not feel any pain.”
"Then...why not just set it as a passive skill?" Lu Ke further asked. In this case, he can pass the ball as he wants without worrying about his blind side.
"During the offense, some collisions can be avoided, but due to carelessness or mistakes, sacks and collisions are caused. In these cases, you can choose whether to use special skills; if it is a passive skill, it is a waste. I got the chance." Xiao Qi showed rare patience and explained all the questions.
Lu Ke suddenly realized that to put it simply, good steel is used on the blade. If it is a passive skill, there is no choice. Maybe it is a sack from the right side. He can try to rely on his own footsteps to avoid the sack. On the contrary, if it is an active skill, when encountering a blind side sack, he can Use immediately.
Absolute pace, this is a passing skill without worries; and copper skin and iron bones, this is the ability to make up for the situation at the moment of being sacked.
It has to be said that if used properly, the copper skin and iron bones can produce unexpected and outstanding effects in the game. Now Lu Ke has several usage plans in his mind.
"So, there is no duration limit?" Lu Ke asked.
"Limited to the number of impacts, there is no time limit." Xiao Qi's answer made Lu Ke take a reassuring pill.
In today's game, during his second sack, Lu Ke was flanked and sacked by two defensive players at the same time. The game would change if you had steel and iron; and there is no time limit, which means there is no need to worry about secondary impacts, whether intentional or unintentional.
