attack.
Vernon Davis rushed forward resolutely. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed a defensive player who passed him. A thought flashed in his mind. Should he return to defense? But the momentum of forward movement could not be stopped at all, so he did not think much and continued to advance decisively.
Five yards, ten yards, fifteen yards, Vernon concentrated on his own route. This was a running route between a short pass and a mid-pass. However, this was a deceptive run. After the opponent's cornerback followed him, he needed to brake urgently, turned around and returned to the short passing area——
Because this is a short passing tactic, Lu Ke's passing target is in the short passing area.
From the corner of his eyes, he noticed the defensive rookie cornerback Prince-Amukamara. He was the 19th pick in the first round this year and attracted much attention. However, after the start of the new season, he only played as a rotation player. Today is the first time he makes his debut.
"Lack of experience, thin body, accurate positioning", the corresponding information flashed in Vernon's mind instantly, and he browsed through the matchups repeatedly during the preparations before the game.
As a cornerback, Amukamara is 6 feet (183 centimeters) tall and weighs 204 pounds (93 kilograms). His overall body shape is lighter. He is a typical agile cornerback who mainly uses blocking and running to complete defense; but for Vernon, however, has a matchup advantage because he is 6.3 feet (191 centimeters) and weighs 244 pounds (111 kilograms).
Amukamara had advantages in speed and explosive power, which blocked Vernon's running position. Despite his size advantage, Vernon could never find a comfortable receiving position.
So, Vernon rushed forward compulsively. After rushing for fifteen yards, he made a sudden stop, turned around, and looked in the direction of Lu Ke. In almost a thousandth of a second, Lu Ke He raised his right hand, and Vernon immediately realized: The pass is coming!
But as soon as his body turned around, his center of gravity was not stable at all. Immediately, he could feel Amukamara's perseverance in keeping close guard. In the crisis situation, Vernon's brain didn't even think. He just followed his instinct and jumped forward. One step - a standing long jump stance, like a frog.
In an instant, the gap between Vernon and Amukamara widened. Amukamara, who was defending closely, suddenly felt a gap. His center of gravity was unstable and he fell forward, rolling forward. It curled up like a hedgehog and turned around.
Out of position.
Vernon and Amukamara's defense was completely broken, but Vernon didn't lose sight at all. He concentrated on Lu Ke's pass. It was not enough, it was still not enough——
This was a short pass. Even though Lu Ke noticed Vernon's position and shot a little harder, the pass was still just shy of ten yards; and now Vernon jumped forward and just arrived. The position of eleven yards is still a little short!
At the critical moment, Vernon followed the inertia and fell to the ground. He rolled like a lazy donkey and quickly rolled over. The next second he saw the rugby falling. It was a standard shuttle ball. Although the position was not right, Vernon just You need to make a standard catching gesture and then easily hold the football in your arms.
He just likes passes like this from Lu Ke!
Holding the football tightly with both hands, Vernon rolled another half circle, supported his knees on the ground, and with a sudden push of his hands, he stood up. His eyes quickly scanned left and right, and he noticed that he was still on the right side. The rolling Amukamara made a light left jump step, got out of the way, and started to accelerate towards the front.
But before he could pick up the speed, Vernon noticed Justin Tucker coming fiercely from the left. He was a defensive end and a seven-year veteran. He was only a third-round pick with the 74th overall pick, but he grew into a professional bowl player. level player, but he has been suffering from injuries this year and his condition has dropped significantly.
Vernon calmly braked in an emergency, and then saw Tucker's figure rushing towards him fiercely. Like a dancer, he turned around lightly and dodged Tucker's determined grab. The next moment, both hands He exerted force on his feet and began to speed up for the second time straight ahead.
Speed up, speed up again.
However, speed is really not Vernon's strong point. It is more of a torpedo than a rocket. It always felt...as if the resistance of the ocean was dragging his steps, staggering and rushing.
…
"Kick off! The San Francisco 49ers have started a new offense again!"
Troy Ball's distinctive voice rang through the airwaves again, conveying the real-time situation at Candlestick Stadium to every radio listener, "Raid, the Giants unexpectedly chose to raid, and two defensive players completed it from both sides. Double teams, trying to sack the opposing quarterback!”
"Quickly stepping back, the 49ers' rookie quarterback didn't panic at all, passing the ball to the left! Wait, this is a fake move, fake move! Passing the ball to the right, Lu Ke passed the ball and found... Vernon - Davis! Vernon Davis No. 80!"
"Davis took advantage of a big jump without warning, got rid of Amukamara's close defender, and completed the ball with a rolling posture. Beautiful! God, this catch It’s really beautiful! It’s not over, but this advancement is still not over!”
"Davis stood up again, turned around, and shook off Tucker's tackle! Pushing forward, Vernon continued to push forward, forty yards, forty-five yards, half court! God, oh, God! Finally someone After completing the defense, Martin, the Giants' No. 22 safety, Derrick Martin, completed the coverage and laterally collided with Vernon!"
"Incredible! It's incredible! Davis used a high-leg jump step to avoid Martin's sure-to-win tackle. He is still pushing forward. God, God, God! Vernon Davis is still pushing along the sideline. , oh, he lost his center of gravity, Davis still couldn't maintain his center of gravity, and his whole body fell off the sideline, ending this push!"
In one go, Troy explained the entire situation in a eloquent manner. The performance of the wonderful conclusion was really amazing. In the end, Troy even shouted happily, "Wonderful! So wonderful! God, this is A gain of twenty-eight yards, twenty-eight yards! God!"
"After just experiencing a successful conversion of three yards on fourth down, the San Francisco 49ers successfully completed a 28-yard advance and reached the 40-yard line in the opponent's half. This is the most exciting offense in the league right now. A team, there is no doubt that the 49-man offensive team led by Lu Ke deserves such a title!"
"Facing the sudden change in the opponent's defensive formation, Lu Ke keenly made predictions and adjusted his tactics. Taking advantage of the matchup, he not only allowed Vernon Davis to complete the ball, but also relied on Vernon's With his size advantage, he powerfully completed the follow-up push on the left side where the defense was empty! Vernon evaded three tackles! This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the New York Giants!"
"Candlestick Stadium is boiling!"
As Troy said, the entire stadium exploded. Ryan Baldwin looked at the stadium in front of him in disbelief: This is the San Francisco 49ers he is familiar with, but this is no longer the San Francisco 49ers he remembers. , wonderful, everything is really wonderful.
Involuntarily, Ryan's eyes widened and he stared at the moving little red figures on the court. The excitement in his heart made his chest begin to swell and ache.
…
On the court, after stumbling off the sideline, Vernon Davis slammed the football to the ground, and then roared towards the vast red sea in front of him, "Ah! Ahhhh! Ahhh!" !”
Venting, venting forgetfully. Not because of depression, but because of exhilaration.
This feeling has really not surged in his chest for too long. He will not give up and will never give up. No matter how difficult the space for catching the ball is, no matter how dangerous the obstacles are, he will never surrender easily. He couldn't even remember the last time he experienced such passion. Was it his rookie season?
But now, in this 49-man offensive group, Vernon has truly burst out with perseverance and determination. Because of Lu Ke, and also because of the other catcher friends, their advancement has never been about sweeping the world with ease, but using their own hands and feet to carve a path in desperate situations!
He loves moments like this!
"Ah! Ahhh!" Vernon roared heartily. This kind of advancement was enough to make people immersed in it, and it was also enough to ignite all the enthusiasm.
In the studio, Teddy and Kirk both showed bright smiles. They could both feel the indomitable tenacity of this team. This is invisible and intangible, but the game temperament in the San Francisco 49ers offense , but it is vividly explaining this, even if it is the first offense of the whole game, it is still the same.
"Just now we were in deep trouble on fourth down and three yards, and now we have reached 40 yards in the opponent's half. In the first contest between the 49ers offense and the Giants defense, it is obvious that both sides are now evenly matched. ." Kirk concluded simply, "In the next attack, Lu Ke will definitely increase his speed. This is also... Hey, there was some controversy on the court and the game was temporarily suspended."
Halfway through the explanation, Kirk noticed the changes on the field. Originally, the referee had announced all the penalties: it was determined that both Vernon Davis' feet were in bounds and he went out of bounds at 40 yards; No other yellow flag fouls occurred, so the referee announced that the San Francisco 49ers could kick off again.
But now, the game seems to have paused.
"Well, what's being replayed on the big screen now is the moment when Vernon Davis completed the ball, his knees touched the ground, and then he stood up again and completed the advance.
The San Francisco 49ers thought this was a legal catch, but the New York Giants thought it was an illegal catch. Vernon's advance behind him could not be counted. This should have been an offense that started above the 42-yard line in the 49ers' half. Instead of the 40-yard line at the Giants' half. "
