To be honest, Lu Ke is a little nervous now.
It is not so much because of the tension of the game itself, but because of the lack of game experience and the need to face more potential accidents. There were enough surprises today. The New York Giants were not an easy opponent to deal with in the first place. In the blink of an eye, all the advantages they had established before were eroded. The game that was originally full of confidence and leisurely entered into a dangerous situation. the white-hot stage.
To make matters worse, in the third quarter, Lu Ke had no touch.
In fact, with such a poor performance, there has not been a single interception so far today. Lu Ke feels that luck is already on his side - it is estimated that the luck in this game should be positive, and the actual numbers are still Not low. But just relying on luck is not enough. Lu Ke needs to recover as soon as possible and regain the rhythm of winning.
There are more than seven minutes left in the game, and the lead is only one point. The San Francisco 49ers are far from the point where the game time is consumed and they can sit back and relax. They must score again, even if it is a free kick. For the time being, they will The pace and rhythm settle down before the attack resumes.
The first step now is to restore his passing touch. It's not about the numbers in the system, it's about the game status of the players.
Some players have extremely high technical and talent values, but they can only perform 50% in the game, so it is all in vain. After all, their paper strength cannot be converted into combat effectiveness; while some players have various innate statistics. They are all average, but they are born for competition and can always exert 120% of their strength during the competition, so the results will naturally be different.
Lu Ke has always belonged to the latter.
Therefore, under the tense mood, Lu Ke did not panic or force himself to calm down. Instead, he began to constantly mobilize himself, turning pressure into motivation and tension into passion. After experiencing the strong and intense first half, After the dullness of the third quarter and the sluggishness of the first half of the fourth quarter, the game has now entered the sprint phase and it is time to compete with real guns.
"21:20", the San Francisco 49ers playing at home still maintained the lead, and Lu Ke led the offensive team to play again.
This time, Lu Ke's hand finally began to feel warmer.
At ten yards from the first gear, Lu Ke tried his best and passed a five-yard short pass. He found Vernon Davis, who was coming to catch the ball, and took the first step easily.
Five yards on the second gear, facing the New York Giants' four-man pass rush, Lu Ke unexpectedly ran out of the pocket, and after attracting three defensive players, he quickly passed the ball with a 14-yard pass and found the inside cutter. Ted Ginn reached the gap and then continued to advance five yards, gaining a total of 19 yards.
The entire offensive rhythm and efficiency were returning to the familiar track, but unfortunately, when they reached the thirty-eight yard line in the opponent's half, they still lacked a little luck.
A running ball failed to break through and was knocked to the ground early; a short pass advanced two yards, but because the opponent saw through the route, it had no unexpected effect; the last short pass was nine yards, but Logan Newman was Under the defense of Jason Pierre, he had no temper at all and stayed stuck in his position. He watched the football fly away from his hand and landed in an open space.
strike out.
Lack of luck is one thing. At the same time, Lu Ke feels that his prediction and passing are still not 100%. He needs to adjust his state again and find the most suitable rhythm. The game was not over yet. Lu Ke clenched his fist heavily and still did not lose confidence.
After missing the opportunity to continue to advance, the San Francisco 49ers faced a 53-yard free kick. To kick or not to kick?
Free kicks require risks. If a free kick is missed within the twenty-yard line, the opponent will start attacking at the twenty-yard line; if a free kick beyond the twenty-yard line is missed, the opponent will start the attack. The offense started above the line.
This is a free kick on the 38-yard line, which means that if David Akins does not kick it, the New York Giants will start their offense above the 38-yard line.
After hesitating for a moment, Jim Hubble, who always dared to take risks, chose to try a free kick.
Under the breathless gaze of the audience, David Akins' 53-yard free kick attempt unfortunately missed the goal and failed to score. Under the exclamations of the whole audience, Akens stood there with a depressed and sad face.
This was the first free kick Akins missed this season.
Although no one expected the kicker to maintain a 100% scoring rate throughout the season, not to mention that this was a free kick attempt of more than 50 yards; but Akens could not hide his disappointment. Free kicks are absolutely valuable to the team. If they lose the game just because of this free kick, Akins will definitely regret it.
However, if it is lost, it is lost, and there is no other way.
After the special team left, Lu Ke took the initiative to give Akens a hug without saying too many words, saying everything without saying anything. Other teammates on the offensive team also stepped forward to say hello and comfort Akins.
The New York Giants, who appeared again, stood on the 38-yard line. They did not need to attack back, and they won an excellent offensive starting position. If they can score, whether it is a free kick or a touchdown, in this game They will have an advantage in winning or losing; if they can also consume the game time, that would be great.
The entire Candlestick Stadium finally woke up again, and the noise attack was unleashed in a mighty manner, trying to add a boost to the home team at the last moment.
…
"Can you believe it? God, can you believe it? Eli Manning, Eli Manning again! The New York Giants' quarterback completed a 40-pointer at the most critical moment of the game in the fourth quarter. The two-yard long pass successfully found Victor Cruz. Under the defense of two players, Cruz almost pulled out his teeth and forcefully picked off the football and landed in the end zone!"
Five minutes later, the entire Candlestick Stadium was silent, and the entire commentary box was boiling.
"Touchdown, it's a touchdown! Incredible! It's incredible!"
"The San Francisco 49ers defensive team dedicated an absolutely tough defense, forcing the opponent into a desperate situation of 12 yards on third gear. In the first half, Lu Ke once passed a six-pointer in the 17 yards on third gear. The eleven-yard fatal touchdown completely destroyed the confidence of the New York Giants defense; this time, the protagonist of the same performance became Eli Manning!"
"Manning's super long pass seemed a little unstable, and the flight path was a little bumpy, but Cruz caught it! He caught it successfully! He defeated two defensive players and completed this crucial catch. Formation! God, God! The New York Giants completed the lead for the first time in this game!"
"The fans at Candlestick Stadium seemed a little stunned and couldn't believe their eyes. Facing Cruz's wanton celebration, they fell into silence for the first time. Now the momentum on the court has been reversed! The outcome of the game is once again We have entered an unknown situation!”
When the New York Giants really needed a touchdown, Manning Jr. stepped forward and scored a touchdown. Not only did he successfully complete the lead, "21:27", this was the first time the Giants scored a touchdown in the entire game. At the same time, it also consumed a lot of time. At least three times, the transition was completed in third gear, compressing and then compressing the counterattack space of the San Francisco 49ers.
Looking at the silence and confusion at the Candlestick Stadium, you can know how huge the blow was from the fatal long pass at the critical moment, destroying all the confidence accumulated in the first half of the game in one fell swoop.
Not only the fans, but also everyone in the commentary box were shouting, exclaiming, and marveling.
"Eli Manning is now in a situation like this again. He kept digging holes in the first three quarters and started to fill them in the fourth quarter. This team always seems to have such a gambler's demeanor. At critical moments, Explosive power, a flurry of combination punches, beat the opponent so hard that he couldn't recover at all. After losing consecutively, the game was back in the hands of the Giants, and they were getting closer to victory step by step."
After saying it, Teddy himself couldn't believe that it was all happening again.
"This is how the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl, and many other strong teams lost their duels with the New York Giants this way. Eli Manning in the fourth quarter looked like Like the omnipotent God of War, now, is this routine going to happen to the San Francisco 49ers again?"
"After maintaining the lead throughout the game, the San Francisco 49ers are actually behind now, and there are two minutes and 28 seconds left in the game. After the kickoff, it is estimated that the time left for Lu Ke is about two minutes.
Of course, this team will never give up easily. They have such offensive capabilities for a desperate comeback at the last moment. The question is, can Lu Ke, whose performance seems to have gradually declined in the second half, just regain his form? "
Desperate situation, truly desperate situation, not only leading the whole game, but falling behind at the end of the game; more importantly, the momentum of suppression and violation really made the entire Candlestick Stadium fall into a dull situation. .
After a short period of shock, the fans began to cheer and shout again, bravely cheering for the home team, but their voices seemed to lack a trace of passion. Could it be that the New York Giants' curse will also hang over Candlestick Stadium?
The special team was still on the field preparing for the kickoff, while Lu Ke stood on the sidelines, calling his teammates together. He didn't have many thoughts in his mind. The enthusiastic and impassioned words seemed to have disappeared. He just watched them one by one. His teammates said calmly and firmly:
"I'm ready! I'm ready to go out on the field, I'm ready to beat these guys, I'm ready to reawaken the magic of this stadium, I'm ready to score some touchdowns, I'm ready to get this win! Yes, I am ready, so who else is ready to join this war with me!"
Really impressive!
