Alex Smith didn't say any more. He sat quietly aside and moved his position slightly, leaving Lu Ke some time to think for himself.
For quarterbacks, the ability to think independently is an essential skill. They need different perspectives to open up their entire field of vision, but after their vision is broadened, they still have to complete the thinking themselves.
Alex, who is also a quarterback and has rich game experience, accurately stepped on the frequency of Lu Ke's thoughts, and gradually allowed Lu Ke to regain his calmness.
There was no problem with the tactical execution in the second half. The San Francisco 49ers still continued the characteristics and style of the first half, and the advancement effect was far from terrible.
Therefore, simply digging in on the tactical level and trying to adjust the offensive rhythm with changes will not yield results in a short time; what is more important is to concentrate and concentrate, and re-master through every reading of defense and game interpretation. Rhythm once again found the key to driving the game.
"Every offense is different."
This sentence has been habitually mentioned by the coach since the first day he started learning football, and then continued all the way to middle school, college, and even the professional league.
In the past, Lu Ke never really understood the meaning of this sentence, but today, he finally vaguely understood its meaning.
In a rugby game, the same tactics, the same players, the same opponents, but each offense needs to deal with different factors and changes. The two teams have a total of twenty-two players on the field, as well as coaching staff and coaches off the field. The tactics room serves as a backup to provide immediate support, and one tactic may have endless variations.
Tactics are dead, but players are alive. A team's tactical system is relatively fixed and has its own unique style. Therefore, instead of finding faults at the tactical level, it is better to focus on the opportunities in each attack. Even the simplest and most basic tactics may turn decay into magic.
It is extremely simple to say, but extremely difficult to implement.
In the previous five weeks of games, Lu Ke habitually held the tactical manual and sat on the sidelines to study it; but now, he must temporarily put the tactical manual aside, clear out all random thoughts, completely clear his brain, and truly devote himself to the game. Among them, grasp the wind and grass on the field and march towards victory.
Ford Field was filled with a suffocating sense of tension, as if just a spark would detonate the scene; however, this feeling of imminence made Lu Ke faintly excited: the bigger the scene, the more likely it would be. The more critical the moment, the more critical it is between life and death, the clearer and calmer Lu Ke's mind is.
On the stage again, Lu Ke and the members of the offensive team came to their own 25-yard line - the return attack just now successfully advanced five yards, so the San Francisco 49ers will start their attack here.
Lu Ke took a long breath, calmed down his mixed emotions, and scanned the defensive players standing on the other side intently. The faces matched up with the tactical formations in his mind, and he completed what he had done before the game. All homework is awakened, reading the opponent's defensive formation and positioning.
In three minutes and twenty-six seconds, the sense of urgency left a faint taste of blood on the tip of the tongue, and adrenaline began to explode.
Slowly, Lu Ke bent down, got ready to catch the ball, and listened to the roaring cheers and shouts in the stadium. As his attention focused, they gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared completely, becoming completely quiet; Then, Lu Ke's voice broke free from the constraints of his throat and exploded on the green field:
"attack!"
Standing in the shotgun formation, Lu Ke firmly grasped the football with both hands. With just a small adjustment, he slightly raised his chin to take in the semicircular arc in front of him. Without any hesitation, he immediately raised his right hand. , instead of exerting force, he used a light throw, and the rugby ball slid lightly in an arc.
It was a short five-yard throw, aimed at the center of the field, over the offensive and defensive lines in front of it, and down quickly in the defensive zone of the linebackers.
Vernon Davis, who was on the inside on the right, and Logan Newman, who was on the left, both cut across to the inside, sprinted six yards with explosive power in a short distance, switched positions in the middle of the field, and ran the outside route. Vernon disrupted the linebacker's defensive vision and blocked the linebacker's forward momentum. In this flash of lightning, Logan completed the ball.
A pick-and-roll, a catch, and the double-tight-end tactic once again showed its power.
Jumping slightly, he put the football in his arms with a gesture of reaching for the stars. Logan's running steps did not stop, and he knocked away the oncoming outside linebacker with his heavy shoulder; at the same time, Crabtree and Gene's The double screen blocked the return of two defensive players and created a narrow space for Logan to advance.
First, he ran sideways from left to right, then made an emergency stop and turned around, turning 90 degrees to advance forward. After avoiding the grapple, he continued to advance toward the 30-degree diagonal line on the left. Finally, Logan's feet After running forward for thirteen yards, he was flanked by two players and was forced out of bounds, terminating the advance.
Similar offensive tactics and similar defensive formations, but this time, Lu Ke captured the small gap between the offensive line and linebackers, made full use of the double-tight-end tactics, and gained the first attack. The last-minute struggle laid the foundation. This is a good beginning.
However, Lu Ke did not celebrate grandly. The opponent's defensive team was still in a hot state. Any carelessness could ruin the situation. Therefore, Lu Ke called on his teammates to move forward quickly and came to his own thirty-six-yard line to arrange tactics. , completed the formation, then calmed down again and looked at the opposite defensive team intently.
Read the defense, read the defense, read the defense.
Faintly, Lu Ke caught something a little different.
In fact, the Lions' defensive formation has not changed much. It is almost the same as the defensive formation in the previous offense. There is still about a four-yard gap between the defensive forward and the linebacker, which seems to be luring Lu Ke. Repeat the offensive line just now and complete the pass again.
But Lu Ke noticed that the outside linebacker on his left, Justin Durant, had his body weight on his right leg and right hand, while his position just now was slightly higher. Stand with your upper body straight and your center of gravity relatively centered.
For such a subtle change, Lu Ke was not sure whether it was a trap by his opponent or whether he had caught the change through keen observation after calming down. This uncertainty needs further confirmation by Lu Ke.
Without hesitation, Lu Ke's eyes drifted to the outside linebacker on the other side. DeAndre Levi moved slightly to Lu Ke's right side, only half a step away.
On the surface, this is one-on-one man-to-man defense, with Levey targeting Vernon on the right.
However, whether it was a coincidence or an accident, Levi's center of gravity shifted to his left side, as if he was ready to exert force at any time. Does this mean that this is a defensive formation that attacks the quarterback, with two outside linebackers completing outflanks from both sides in an attempt to sack the quarterback?
There was no time to think or doubt. Lu Ke decided to trust his intuition, stood up straight, changed his tactics, and shouted the tactical slogan loudly, three times on the left, three times on the right, and finally shouted again when facing the defensive team. Once again, the change in tactics did not create waves in the San Francisco 49ers' offense, and the positions of all players remained unchanged.
Lu Ke stood closely behind the center, and Marcus Lynch was seven yards behind, tied vertically with Lu Ke. Set up a strong offensive formation. However, the 49ers' offensive formations have always been full of tricks, full of deception and imprecision. Even the shotgun formation may end up running the ball.
"attack!"
Like a commander in charge of thousands of troops, Lu Ke issued the offensive order. After taking the football from Jonathan Goodwin with both hands, he quickly turned around and stepped quickly. Without any hesitation or hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and placed the football. In mid-air, he saw Marcus rushing over like a speeding train, holding the football firmly with both hands. At the same time, Lu Ke let go of his right hand.
This is a running ball offense.
After the handover of the football was completed, Lu Ke's steps still did not stop. He took back his right hand and put it on his chest. Pretending that the football was still in his hands, he quickly stepped back, turned around, and began to seek the passing target. Then the changes on the court Just take a panoramic view——
really! This is a surprise attack!
The two outside linebackers took long strides around the two ends of the offensive line and double-teamed Lu Ke without hesitation. However, Durant and Levi only had time to cross the line of scrimmage and did not even have time to get close to Lu Ke. Then I saw Marcus Lynch, whose speed had increased to the extreme. With a "crash", he broke through the layers of people on the offensive and defensive fronts, and ran forward quickly like a vigorous cheetah.
"Kicked off again, the San Francisco 49ers' entire offensive line quickly moved laterally toward the left side, and the pockets were scattered. However, the Detroit Lions' defensive team did not seem to anticipate such a lateral movement tactic, and did not keep up with the pace. Two The outside linebacker tried to wrap up from the outside and achieve a sack, but...running the ball, this is a running tactic!
During the lateral movement, Mike Rupadi and Jonathan Goodwin easily pushed aside the defensive linemen they were facing, opening up a wide and straight avenue. Even the linebackers responsible for the defense had already I can't see the figure anymore, this is simply a fast track through the train. Marcus Lynch has no reason to miss such an opportunity.
Lynch's running was light and agile, passing through the gap, past the offensive line, past the defensive line, and drove straight into the soft center of the Lions' center.
Misstep, the Lions' defense completely lost its position this time and turned into a complete mess. Who would come up to make up the defense? Isn't there anyone to make up the defense? God! "
