Crowd, crowd, crowd.
Standing on the two-yard line in front of the end zone to start the offense, his sight was filled with crowds. He had the illusion that he was in a sea of people, as if he could hardly even move forward, but for Vernon It is said that in this vast ocean, he can give full play to his advantages in size and strength. Like a beacon, he can stand in the end zone and attract all offensive and defensive firepower in an instant.
After the kickoff, Vernon didn't hesitate or pause, and started running at a 45-degree angle to the right. The entire San Francisco 49ers offensive team was moving toward the right, like a hill, rumbling. The ground moved, and the earth-shaking force slammed into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense with a strong attitude.
In the dense defense, Vernon was like a shark that broke into a school of sardines, roaring past, dodging left and right into the crowd, overwhelming obstacles on the road with a destructive attitude, and the remaining sight was You can see Williams, Jean, Crabtree and others all rushing towards the right side, forming a group advantage and scattered in every corner on the right side of the end zone.
Suddenly, Vernon's footsteps stopped, and he cut in the opposite direction and entered the middle area. Without stopping, he was driven by inertia to the bottom line of the end zone. He turned around, raised his hand, and then saw the football. It hit like a cannonball.
A little higher, a little further.
The pupils shrank suddenly. The cooperation between the two people was still not tacit enough, and the entire passing route and strength control were not perfectly matched. However, Vernon didn't care, he was going to decide this pass! Even if you have to pull out your teeth, you will never back down!
With a strong push of both feet, he bounced high, taking the first step to get on top of the surrounding defensive players. With his arms relaxed, he grabbed the rugby fiercely in the wind and rain, and then used both hands to recover it. , holding the football tightly to his chest before his body began to fall.
The pull of gravity caused every cell in the body to scream, but then a powerful impact was felt, like a high-speed train, hitting the back hard, and the internal organs began to As it rolled, the surging force made every bone begin to rattle, making people almost suspect that they were lying under a steamroller.
The pain burst out instantly, but Vernon's mind went blank. He had no time to think or hesitate. He just relied on his conditioned reflex instinct, gritted his teeth, fell heavily, and stepped firmly on the grass with his feet. on; the muscles were tense to the extreme, all ten fingers tightened, tightly hugging the football, then straightened the waist, trying to stabilize his center of gravity——
Steady, a little more steady; a little longer, a little longer.
He must make sure that his feet are within bounds, and he must control his steps and muscles. Even if it is a thousandth of a millisecond, he must use all his strength to complete the control.
For a moment, time seemed to have stopped, all the explosive power and collision force stopped at a certain moment, even the pain disappeared, and the skills of the reaction nerves and body muscles were controlled to the extreme; then, the world moved ten times faster, Entering the fast-forward mode, he flew out heavily with a muffled "bang" sound.
Vernon had only one thought in his mind: How could sound travel so slowly? He was already dying of pain, and now he heard the sound? How is this going?
Then, Vernon was like a discarded garbage bag. After flying out, he slid on the ground for a short distance, and finally crashed into the guardrail at the end of the stadium in an awkward manner. Only then did he stop, every muscle in his body was Everyone was protesting, and every figure in sight was in confusion, but Vernon's first reaction was, "Is the catch completed?"
…
"Incredible! Incredible! Vernon Davis, the No. 85 tight end of the San Francisco 49ers, completed an incredible catch. He lost control of his body and completed the catch with gravity-defying defense. After the ball, he controlled his body and tried to complete the touchdown! Once again, Vernon replicated the magical performance of catching the ball on the sideline just now!"
After witnessing such a catch, they still couldn't believe their eyes. Kirk and Teddy exchanged glances, and smiles appeared on their faces - not because of victory or failure, just because of this pass. And the wonderful performance of catching the ball, the charm of competitive sports has been brought to the extreme!
"Wow, the second time, in this offense, Vernon completed the ball in a thrilling state for the second time. Our naked eyes can't judge whether this is a legal ball or not, and the referees also It must be confirmed through video replay. But there is no doubt that Lu Ke passed the ball beautifully and Vernon received it even more beautifully! This state once again allowed us to see his highlight performance when he was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2009."
Objectively speaking, in this attack, Lu Ke's two passes went awry. Although there was a problem with tacit cooperation, it was more because Lu Ke's touch control was not delicate enough; but in the end, Vernon successfully received the football. , relying entirely on his absolute strength, such a tight end is an important offensive weapon for any team.
After Teddy's sigh ended, the studio immediately started playing the replay, and the two commentators both looked over to confirm whether the pass was successfully completed.
"First of all, the hands control the ball. There is no doubt that there are no swings or gaps. There is no problem in protecting the ball. Secondly, the feet, the problematic feet... Then let's take a look. From this angle, we can't see it very well. It’s clear, but there’s some ambiguity. It seems to be stuck on the bottom line and it’s unclear. We need to change the angle to see it. Director, do we have another angle of footage now?”
There are lenses from every angle on the entire football field, and NFL officials can see all the lenses; however, the number of lenses on the live broadcast side is relatively small, and it takes some time to retrieve the lenses.
As a result, Teddy and Kirk could only re-view the same video over and over again, but the angle was indeed a bit blurry and they could not make an accurate judgment. In suspense, we can only wait for the referee to announce.
"It's hard to judge, it's really hard to judge. The referee also needs to watch the replays repeatedly." Kirk started a new topic, "Vernon's two thrilling catches at critical moments reminded me of the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. Rookie wide receiver, Antonio Brown, what do you think?"
"Last year, who would have thought that this wide receiver picked in the sixth round with the 195th pick would perform so well in his rookie season, showing the absolute strength of a big wide receiver. In the two catches just now, Vernon His receiving touch and body control are indeed reminiscent of Brown, not like a tight end at all, he is completely a large wide receiver." Kirk shared his views and opinions.
Teddy did not express agreement or objection, but said with a smile, "Does this prove once again that in every year's draft, the 32 teams make mistakes quite often?"
While talking, the referee finally completed the review and confirmed the result.
The waiting time was really too long. Jeff, Chris and others in the stands couldn't help but stand up. After the explosive pass and catch, the suspected touchdown with the tip of the knife dancing wildly, and the explosion of adrenaline, now But he had to endure more suffering, and his heart was about to burst. All eyes were focused on the referee, watching him walk onto the court.
On the NFL field, the referee will turn on his portable microphone for all penalties and announce the result to the audience in an open and fair manner. Then under the spotlight, the referee will turn on his portable microphone and announce the result to the audience. ——
"After review, player No. 85 successfully completed the ball and had both feet in bounds. Therefore, San Francisco 49ers, touchdown!" After saying that, the referee raised his hands and made a touchdown. gesture, confirming the touchdown result.
"Ahhh! Touchdown!" Jeff jumped three feet high, then jumped on Danny's body, waving his right hand vigorously, and roared heartily, "Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown!"
Candlestick Stadium was boiling again: they asked for another touchdown. Although it took some effort and time, the San Francisco 49ers' offense actually scored another touchdown. The first half was not over yet, and they had already scored. With a three-touchdown lead, this game was so dreamy and beautiful.
All the fans in the stadium were forgetful and shouted in unison, "Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown!" At this moment, Candlestick Stadium had completely entered a state of selflessness, bursting out with an unstoppable and powerful momentum.
Before half the game was over, the team had already scored three touchdowns. With such a performance, even the offensive team members on the field were in ecstasy.
Vernon sprinted regardless, took off his helmet in one fell swoop, threw it back, and then rushed in front of Lu Ke, roaring and hissing, "We are!"
"Warrior!" Lu Ke shouted back without any hesitation or hesitation, with an absolutely tough attitude. The two of them jumped up and completed a chest-bumping celebration ceremony, and then Vernon laughed ecstatically, "Wonderful, Wonderful, this is so wonderful!”
"Hey, hey, tramp, where's your helmet? You don't want your helmet?" Crabtree complained from behind, and then Vernon turned his head blankly, and then he noticed that he actually Throwing the helmet into the auditorium, he quickly lowered his head, bent over, and rushed over at a trot. Amidst the roar of laughter, he retrieved his helmet.
For the San Francisco 49ers, this was indeed an exciting game. Just halfway through the second quarter, they had already scored three touchdowns, while their opponents still failed to score; but for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , but it was a complete disaster.
Moreover, the disaster is still not over.
