"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The score on the board was "7:0", with the home team in front and the visiting team in back. The entire Lincoln Financial Field became a sea of cheers. The home fans sang, shouted, and danced crazily. The surging navy blue sea set off a stormy sea, which was spectacular.
"The first half of the game is over. Why do I feel like it's finally over?" Teddy said half-jokingly in the Fox TV studio with a smile.
Kirk also shrugged, showing an expression of agreement, "I can't refute it. With the expectations of all fans and experts, everyone thought this would be an exciting and intense game, but the process of the first half was... It was really boring, neither team played well, the whole rhythm was stumbling, and they were never able to connect effectively."
"Yes, that's how I feel." Teddy nodded in agreement, "The only score in the first half came in the middle of the second quarter. In fact, this touchdown was also an accident."
While Teddy was explaining, the TV screen started replaying the only touchdown of the first half again, "Michael Vick continuously used the read option to attack and held the ball three times in a row to complete the advance. Suddenly, he handed the football over to To running back LeSean McCoy, the Eagles' No. 25 player grabbed a gap and ran 54 yards to complete the touchdown, which allowed the home team to score at the end of the first half. A '7:0' lead."
"Actually, this touchdown is the epitome of the entire first half." Kirk added, "The Eagles relied on running the ball and completed the advancement intermittently. Under Vick's disruptive tactics, McCaw Yi's personal flash of inspiration successfully took the lead; while the 49ers relied on passing, which was also incoherent. Detailed errors at critical moments led to the result that they were never able to score."
"Does this mean that the defensive teams of both teams performed well? You can say that, but you can't say that." After Teddy said it, he laughed and couldn't help laughing, "The 49ers' passer The ball defense performed well, but the running ball defense was extremely poor; the Eagles were reversed, and the defensive teams of both teams failed to find the rhythm and were seriously unbalanced."
"Teddy, with your explanation, those who didn't watch the first half of the game will probably be confused." Kirk took the initiative to shoulder the important task of explaining.
"In the first half, Michael Vick's passes were six out of fourteen, and the success rate did not even reach 50%. He only passed 28 yards; in addition, Vick's running ball advanced three times. Thirteen yards, while McCoy ran for seventy-nine yards - of course, that fifty-four-yard touchdown was too devastating. Excluding this run, his personal run of twenty-five yards The data is also very impressive.”
"Overall, the Philadelphia Eagles relied entirely on running the ball to open up the situation today. They advanced 153 yards in the entire first half. Such data cannot be called outstanding. The San Francisco 49ers' defensive team still completed their job qualifiedly. mission, their only misstep was McCoy's personal flash. But, just like Marshawn Lynch's beast mode, it is impossible to guard against."
Simply, Kirk summed up the Philadelphia Eagles' offense and the San Francisco 49ers' defense.
Teddy nodded repeatedly in agreement, and at the same time led into the following topic, asking questions as an audience, "On the other hand, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team actually had the upper hand in the first half, but Why are we falling behind now?"
"Let's take a look at the data in the first half. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Lu Ke made 13 of 21 passes, advancing 98 yards and no interceptions; and in terms of running the ball, Kendall Henry Special, twelve yards, Marcus Lynch, twenty-three yards, Anthony Dixon, eight yards. At the end of the first half, the 49ers advanced a total of 141 yards."
Kirk once again used data to lead the way, "It can be seen that, excluding McCoy's amazing running ball, the San Francisco 49ers' data is leading. In the first half, their number of first offenses and halftime push They have an advantage in terms of the number of passes and the control of the entire scene. Especially in terms of passing."
Along with Kirk's words, a highlight of Lu Ke's first half passes appeared on the screen, "We can compare the two sets of data. During the first half, the 49ers' No. 14 quarterback encountered a total of One sack, five hits, and five forced hurried passes. When all added up, there are a total of eleven times. So, how many times did No. 14 attempt to pass the ball in total? Twenty-one!"
"In other words, in more than half of the passing time, No. 14 passed the ball under pressure; at the same time, the 49ers' receivers also missed the ball twice. It was under such circumstances , he actually successfully passed the ball thirteen times and advanced 98 yards. Such a performance is really amazing!
It can be seen from the video playback that Lu Ke performed very calmly in the pocket, without any shadow of a rookie. He patiently observed, made decisive moves, and made accurate judgments. Even under pressure, he never gave up hope. With his personal His outstanding performance carried the entire 49ers forward. "
Replaying the first half of the game, Kirk's words were extremely calm, but when he mentioned Lu Ke's performance, he could not hide his excitement. For this rookie quarterback, Kirk never concealed his appreciation and affirmation. Today, too, No exception.
"In other words, the overall momentum of the San Francisco 49ers has always had the upper hand, but their shortcomings at critical moments have caused them to fall behind in the score and not even score once. This is not only a gap in details, but also It can be seen that the entire team is young." Kirk concluded, "It can be said that throughout the first half, Lu Ke's performance was undoubtedly the most stable."
"I agree." Teddy also nodded in agreement and said, "The question now is, when will the 49ers' offense find its own rhythm and convert the advantage into scoring?"
Not only the two commentators on Fox TV, but all the other commentators in the entire commentary box were also expressing their opinions, analyzing the first half of the game from different angles and levels. During the halftime break, this was their most active moment.
At the same time, in "Joe's Bar" far away on the other side of the continent, there was silence and silence. The sound of beer glasses colliding with the table could be heard scatteredly. These fragmentary sounds only highlighted the silence. .
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the TV screen in silence. At this moment, Fox TV was broadcasting the game live. After the commercial break, it switched back to the studio, and then the director was playing the highlights of the first half of the game - the highlights of Lu Ke's collision.
Eleven times of pressure, all edited together, only made people feel that the entire pocket was in turmoil and full of dangers. Not to mention carefully observing and preparing to pass, there was not even a little time for peace, even with the speed of Lu Ke passing the ball. No matter how fast it is, two seconds, two and a half seconds, but in a turbulent pocket, the pass is still severely affected by the uncontrollability.
Squeezed again and again, hit again and again, but in the stormy sea, Lu Ke was always able to find a glimmer of space, firmly grasp the glimmer of hope, and pass the rugby ball at the last moment. One pass attempt, eleven pressures, and thirteen pass successes.
With such data, his performance is really eye-catching, and his indomitable willpower is even more eye-catching.
In comparison, the performance of the offensive linemen and receivers is not at the same level at all. What's worse is that their rhythm always seems to be a quarter beat slower. All the tactics are correct, but all the steps are wrong. Unable to step on the right beat, the San Francisco 49ers' offense looked like a top dancing on a tightrope, precarious and teetering.
Such a game is almost unbearable to watch——
As the commentator said, Lu Ke is playing on his own, but without effective support, he is unable to support himself. In the first half of the game, the score was only "7:0", which was a blessing among misfortunes.
Chris Wilson finally couldn't stand it any longer. He dropped his beer glass heavily on the bar with a muffled sound, venting his anger. He stood up suddenly and turned to look at the silent man. The lifeless and lifeless scene in the bar where I was talking made my anger no longer able to be suppressed.
"Jesus Christ! Look, open your eyes and take a good look, this is the team you support! This is the team you think represents the San Francisco 49ers! Do you see it? Except for Bambi, there is no one at all. No one is playing, and their playing state is simply terrible. This is not the most terrifying thing, but what is even more disgusting is that they are not working hard!”
Chris’s voice echoed in the bar, Jeff sitting next to him tried to dissuade him, but Chris shook off Jeff’s arm, “What, if they are allowed to resist Bambi, I am not allowed to complain about them? If they have the courage, just open your eyes and take a good look. What are the players on the offensive team doing besides getting angry with themselves and their teammates? No, they are doing nothing. It’s like Like a headless fly, completely lost on the court! Grass!"
Chris kicked the bar hard, but his heaving chest still couldn't suppress his emotions, "Why don't you have a voice? Look, Bambi is fighting alone, and he never gives up. The whole first half, only Bambi is working hard and persevering alone, and he needs our support! Damn it, Jesus Christ! We should unite, we should cheer for Bambi! This is our team, this is our quarterback! "
As he spoke, Chris' eyes couldn't help but heat up, but he suddenly raised his hand, wiped off all the water vapor, raised the wine glass, and poured all the beer into his mouth in one breath, "God witnesses! Then That's our quarterback, that's our hero! Now, he needs us and we're sitting here in silence! Cowards, you fucking cowards!"
