Standing up, Lu Ke gasped for air. His right shoulder and right arm slipped across a large piece of blue-black grass clippings, and burning pain spread throughout half of his body.
Just now, the New York Giants' defensive team obviously increased their speed and intensity, suddenly bursting out with huge energy, assuming a posture of "hurting the enemy a thousand, damaging themselves eight hundred", and regardless of giving up the backcourt and midfield. On the field defense, the entire defensive attack cut into the frontcourt defense with full force, completely cutting off all short passing routes, and broke through the offensive line with lightning and achieved sacks.
The entire rhythm and momentum severely suppressed the San Francisco 49ers' offense.
This sudden increase in speed without warning showed that Lu Ke still lacked enough game experience. He missed the best opportunity due to a moment of hesitation. Moreover, he did not have time to use his special skills and was heavily tackled from the right side.
After the previous wave of offense, Lu Ke feinted at least twice, deceiving the Giants' defense and successfully completing the touchdown. Now, in this wave of offense, the positions are reversed, solemnly reminding Lu Ke not to get carried away. , the Giants are definitely not vegetarians.
As a result, the San Francisco 49ers not only retreated to their own half and stood on the 41-yard line, but also faced the dilemma of 17 yards on third down. The smooth situation suddenly encountered a head-on blow.
Originally, due to the opponent's punt error and Marcus's return attack, he won an excellent offensive starting position, but now he is standing on the edge of the cliff, and is about to give up the advantage again. Then "welcome" little Manning appeared again, and it seemed that the change of momentum happened in the blink of an eye.
"Bambi, are you okay?" Jonathan Goodwin came over, patted Lu Ke on the shoulder, and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Lu Ke exhaled heavily, pushed Goodwin's right hand away, and said forcefully, his eyes fixed on Jason Pierre who had just completed the sack, and the excitement burst out in his eyes again. With the dangerous light, the whole person's momentum not only did not suffer setbacks, but also rose again.
Fierce competition? Strong confrontation?
He has never been timid. Since the opponent has improved his status, he will continue to improve his status and fight to the end. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. So what about the meeting of braves? The strong wins!
Lu Ke withdrew his gaze, noticed Goodwin's eyes, patted his center's shoulder, said it was okay, and then called all the players on the offensive team over, "The offense is not over."
Lu Ke simply said that he could sense the slight nervousness of his teammates. Seventeen yards on third gear. This was not a casual attack. It was as difficult as a fifty-five-yard free kick. The tactical options are really limited.
The reason why third gear long yardage is difficult is that if the offensive team wants to get the first offense, generally speaking, passing is the only option, and intermediate and long passes are high probability events, even if they choose to run the ball in a surprise manner, The defensive team can also immediately shrink forward to complete the sack and eliminate the possibility of another first attack. The defensive focus of the defensive team suddenly became clear.
Generally speaking, if the third gear is more than seven yards, it can be regarded as a long yardage. What's more, the San Francisco 49ers are now facing a third gear and 17 yards, which is even more difficult, leaving Lu Ke with even narrower options.
Lu Ke clenched his fist heavily, "I said, the attack is not over!" Simple, clear, and impactful!
On the college field, Lu Ke appeared as a quarterback for the first time in his life. He faced three long yards. No one thought that Lu Ke could complete it. Even the team's coaching staff did not give any hope. , I just hope that Lu Ke can play, complete some simple advances, and win a better punting position.
But the result? Lu Ke not only completed the third gear transition, but also scored a touchdown and led the team to a comeback victory. Everyone says that Manning has a big heart, and his calm performance at critical moments is one of Lu Ke's few talents.
"Don't think about how many yards we need to attack, advance, this is our only goal." Lu Ke said loudly, he could feel that Logan and Marcus were confident, and other teammates were also calm, but The confidence is still slightly lacking, "Feel the energy of the audience, this is our territory, no one can run wild in our back garden!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The neat and noisy cheers and shouts were vented continuously, and the momentum of the entire Candlestick Stadium was not affected at all. It was as if the team was not facing the third gear and seventeen yards, but the third gear and one yard. That kind of Confidence, conveyed accurately through roaring, is like beating a drum, one after another, raising the morale of the home team again.
Lu Ke noticed the subtle changes in his teammates' gazes, and without saying anything else, he simply started to lay out his tactics.
Long pass!
They don't have many choices. Long pass is the best tactic, and it is also what Lu Ke is best at. The New York Giants must be on guard and will never take it lightly; and Lu Ke will not act hastily. He has not forgotten the mission of today's first half of the game. Therefore, this long pass is a head-to-head duel between the two sides.
Standing in the pocket, Lu Ke's eyes quickly scanned a circle, and then slowly scanned a circle, taking in the entire defensive formation.
The New York Giants' defensive team completely changed their formation: above the first line, only three defensive linemen were left to attack the quarterback. Even these three defensive players, their center of gravity was slightly upright. This means that the rushing line and rushing quarterback are just a false pretense, and their real task is to mark potential ball running.
On the second line, behind the three defensive forwards, only one linebacker is left, wandering about four or five yards behind, making short passes to the middle area and running the ball after missing people, becoming the second linebacker. barrier.
The remaining seven players were all scattered in the backcourt, tightly covering the mid-pass and long-pass areas. There are four players in the mid-pass area, completely covering the passing area before and after seventeen yards; there are three players in the long pass area, but it is in the shape of a Z, and the two players are slightly ahead, ranking between the mid-pass and long pass. The connecting area, while the other player lags behind, waiting for an opportunity.
This is the defensive situation that third gear long yards need to face. The defensive team can make all arrangements in advance to nip all possibilities in the cradle. A little bit ahead of schedule, the quarterback's tactics were cut off, leaving him in a difficult situation.
After two observations, Lu Ke defended the entire backcourt until it was within sight, and quickly calculated in his mind that this was regional defense. He screened and considered the abilities and qualities of defensive players in different areas—— The pre-game preparations of watching a lot of game videos can often play an unexpected role at critical moments.
Lu Ke thought over it again calmly, without any hesitation, and stepped forward without hesitation and started to re-arrange his tactics. A series of dazzling slogans began to jump out, echoing on the undercurrent Candlestick Stadium, accompanied by Lu Ke's slogans , the receiving player begins to change positions.
Michael Crabtree and Marcus Lynch, who were originally on the left, all moved to the right, joining Logan Newman and Kyle Williams. In an instant, the right side became It became extremely bloated, with enough room for three receivers and a running back.
In the slot receiver position on the outside of the offensive line, Logan's tall figure looks extremely abrupt. Originally, this is where the thin and light slot receiver should stand, but Logan looks bulky standing here, more like another Offensive linemen, not receivers.
However, two yards behind Logan, Marcus Lynch stood out, looking for a gap.
Williams, who was originally standing parallel to Logan, was about four yards apart. Now he moved a few strides toward the outside, almost approaching the sideline, but it couldn't help but remind people of Williams in the fourth week of the regular season. The scene shows Si continuing to advance along the sideline in the posture of a Power Rangers.
Finally, Crabtree stood between Logan and Williams, but his steps were slightly behind by two steps, forming a groove. His eyes were constantly looking left and right, and his body was shaking left and right at the same time, as if he was stepping on An unclear rhythm. No one should forget that it was Crabtree who made "that catch" against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 of the regular season.
Now, on the contrary, the left side has become extremely thin, with only Ted Ginn as a small fast horse, which is in sharp contrast to the heavy and bloated right wing.
As for Lu Ke himself, he stood in a shotgun formation, with a full seven yards of space from the center, stretching the entire space for reading the defense to the extreme.
Undoubtedly, this is a strange formation, a strange formation that is unpredictable.
Therefore, the New York Giants had no choice but to stay the same in response to changes. They still did not change their defensive position. However, the players in the midfield and backcourt shifted their center of gravity slightly toward the right side of the 49ers. After moving a little, the tightness of the entire area covering defense is compressed a little.
Lu Ke bent down again and looked at the Giants' defensive team. He glanced at the countdown clock from the corner of his eyes. There were still ten seconds left. Then he stood up for the second time and shouted two slogans, seeming to be changing tactics again. , but this time, the 49ers players didn't move and ignored it.
Bend down again and tee off again. At this time, the countdown has entered the five-second zone, "Four, three, two..."
"attack!"
Lu Ke's voice almost stepped on the tail of the final time limit of the attack, announcing the kick-off. Standing in the shotgun formation, Lu Ke began to adjust his pace towards the right, one step, two steps... one second, two seconds...
The New York Giants, who only sent three players to attack the offensive line, were unable to pose any threat to the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line. The entire pocket was impregnable.
Time was passing. Lu Ke tried to raise his right hand twice before and after, preparing to pass the ball, but they were all fake moves. The third time, just when everyone thought it was still a fake move, Lu Ke passed the ball.
