"One more! Another one! Another one!"
The shouts gradually became one, and the red sea in his sight was always boiling, as if the whole world had reached the boiling point, and even the air falling on the surface of the skin was hot.
It was already October, and the autumn in San Francisco was slightly cool. The water vapor mixed with the sea breeze made people shiver. But today's Candlestick Stadium is like midsummer. The scorching temperature is constantly surging, igniting the whole world vigorously, and bursting out with a momentum that can start a prairie fire.
The vast cheers of support stirred up endless echoes in the Candlestick Stadium. Even Kirk and Teddy who were sitting in the studio felt the shock and couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that today's 49ers home fans are full of desire for victory. In less than five minutes, the team took a two-touchdown lead; but they are still not satisfied and are calling for more. More touchdowns." Teddy laughed helplessly, and the atmosphere of the commentary became more relaxed.
Kirk also burst into laughter, "I think it is more of a pressure on the visiting team than an incentive for the home team. Now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing an extremely difficult situation. Scoring is important, but more important. What’s important is that they need to find a rhythm, an offensive rhythm, and a defensive rhythm, otherwise there will be no hope if this situation continues.”
"You mean, the rest of the first quarter is very important for the Pirates." Teddy further confirmed.
Kirk nodded in approval, "Yes, they need to find the rhythm again; of course, if they can score and curb the 49ers' momentum, that would be great. Josh Freeman, the team needs it now He stepped up."
As Teddy and Kirk said, the cheering support from Candlestick Stadium has become a nightmare for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After the opening, they encountered a combination of punches, and stars were shining in their eyes; and then they felt the deep malice from the stadium, This is really unfriendly to them.
After the game started, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had suffered continuous heavy losses, seemed to have finally been inspired to show their toughness and iron fist in the previous four games. Josh Freeman, who played again, led their offensive team. I moved forward steadily, struggling slightly, but finally regained some form.
Freeman's passing success rate is simply a disaster. His passing is always cautious, lest he send another interception, so that many passes are very outrageous and are not on any player's running route at all to avoid It avoids the interception of the defensive player and also avoids the ball of the offensive player.
The only good thing is that running back LaGarrette Blount's performance is relatively stable. He does not have a large number of yards, but he is always able to run out of yards at critical moments, carrying the Buccaneers' entire offensive team forward. .
After nearly completing three third-down conversions, and two more successful first downs on the second-down offense, the Buccaneers stumbled to the 26-yard position of the 49ers half, and got a glimpse of There was a glimmer of hope; but unfortunately, after entering the heavily defended area, the Pirates seemed to have lost their sights again——
A pass was incomplete, a run lost yards, faced with a 13-yard problem on third down, and an outrageous pass deviation, Freeman threw the football directly over the sideline without even a player on the line. on, so, the Pirates struck out.
However, this time they had the opportunity to try a free kick.
It was a forty-six yard free kick. The difficulty is not small.
Among free kicks, within 40 yards can be called a short-coded free kick, and the success rate is often relatively high; but for free kicks above 40 yards, the success rate begins to drop sharply, and for 45 yards or more, the success rate begins to drop sharply. It's basically a long-yard free kick.
As for the Philadelphia Eagles' last-minute 51-yard free kick in last week's game, in the entire league, any free kick over 50 yards is a gamble.
Forty-six yards, how was this calculated? The yardage calculation of free kicks is actually not complicated.
The twenty-six-yard line of scrimmage, due to the loss of yardage on the second offense, is the twenty-nine-yard line of scrimmage. The final free kick is added to the seventeen-yard line, which is forty-six yards.
Of the seventeen yards, ten yards, which is the width of the end zone, because the goals are at the end of the end zone, and seven yards, which is the distance between the kicker and the center.
During the free kick, the forward line composed of the center and the special team stood on the line of scrimmage to kick off - in this case, the Pirates' free kick was only twenty-nine yards; but in order to leave enough space for the kicker, space to prevent the opponent's special team from completing the shot block, so there needs to be a distance between the ball supporter and the center, generally speaking, it is seven yards.
However, the "seven codes" are not fixed.
Depending on the height, habits and style of the kicker, everyone will have slight changes; the cooperation between the kicker and the ball supporter during the free kick, and the cooperation between the ball supporter and the center are all crucial - the Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo's classic "drop of the ball" was a mistake by Romo, who was the ball supporter.
Across the league, some kickers prefer leaving eight yards instead of seven. Because their kicking parabola is relatively low and easy to be blocked, they need more space to allow the football to fly completely and avoid the actions of the opponent's special team. In this case, the position of the free kick is the kickoff line position, and then add eighteen yards.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers now face a forty-six yard free kick.
The 2008 undrafted rookie, Connor Barth, once kicked a 57-yard free kick as far as his career, and now serves as the kicker for the Pirates, but under pressure, Barth actually ...kicked away.
"Oh, I missed it, Connor Bass actually missed it!" After the absurdity reached the extreme, Teddy couldn't help but chuckle. He couldn't believe his eyes, "The Pirates finally showed some signs of recovery. , the most trustworthy link ended up losing this free kick. The first quarter of the game has come to an end, but the Pirates still haven’t been able to score, God!”
"This is really too bad. Bass, who completed the winning free kick last week, made a major deviation under the strong pressure of the 49ers at home and missed this free kick." The boos and shouts at Candlestick Stadium Amidst the noise, Kirk was also dumbfounded.
Seeing Bass holding his head in frustration, Kirk also felt a little unbearable. "Now for the Pirates, the situation cannot be worse. The offensive team, defensive team and special teams team are all in a downturn. For Bass, the 46-yard free kick that was sure to happen was actually missed. Now. , head coach Raheem Morris has to find a way to get the team back on its feet."
…
"Take your attention, guys, take your attention." Craig Roman kept snapping his fingers to get all the players on the offensive team to focus. "They missed the free kick. That's their problem, it has nothing to do with us. . We need to concentrate and launch the next attack! Do you understand?"
Craig's eyes finally fell on Lu Ke.
Lu Ke took a long breath, and then nodded heavily to show that he had calmed down.
Today's game progressed so smoothly that even Lu Ke was inevitably a little carried away.
Four weeks into the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers have never been so smooth sailing. When they faced the Seattle Seahawks in the first week, the score looked like a big win, but in fact, the game was still thrilling; but today, everything It seemed that everything was under the control of the 49ers. Even Connor Bass lost a free kick that he was determined to win. While celebrating, it was inevitable that he would start to despise it.
Offensive coach Craig noticed the team's arrogance in time and reminded Lu Ke, which reminded Lu Ke of last week's game. In the first half, the San Francisco 49ers were overconfident and underestimated their opponents, causing their rhythm to be completely out of whack; now, Lu Ke is far from being complacent, and neither is the team.
After Craig laid out his tactics, he left space for Lu Ke.
Lu Ke thought for a while and didn't speak. Instead, he pointed to his ear and motioned for everyone to listen. After falling silent, he concentrated his attention and could easily catch the continuous shouts, "One more! One more! One more!" One after another, like a stormy sea, sweeping over layer by layer.
A bright smile appeared on every player's face, and excitement flashed in his eyes. Then Lu Ke stretched out his right hand and placed it in the center, "I'm ready." So, what about you?
There is no need for more verbal encouragement or more fighting spirit. Just these shouts, surging throughout the entire stadium, are enough to make people excited and can't wait to walk onto the court, ready to attack again. Score a touchdown.
Ted Jean was the first to stretch out his right hand and put it on the back of Lu Ke's hand. "Hey, can it be my turn next? I'm ready."
"What about me? What about me?" Kyle Williams also quickly joined in the fun and said. As a result, Crabtree, Newman and others all rushed forward and stretched out their right hands, shouting, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Lu Ke did not interrupt everyone, and greeted everyone's gaze with a smile, "Then, let's score some touchdowns! Count to three and shout touchdown together!"
"one two three!"
"Touchdown!"
At this time, the special teams team on the field had completed the kickoff. The Buccaneers' special teams team did not lose focus this time and kicked the free kick directly out of the baseline, which meant that the San Francisco 49ers would start their attack from their own 20 yards.
There are less than four minutes left before the end of the first quarter. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense lasted for more than six minutes, but they still failed to score. This is definitely a fatal blow to the Buccaneers; Next, the state of their defensive team will determine the team's fate.
Michael Bennett said the pressure was almost crushing on his shoulders.
