Lu Ke stretched out his right hand and placed it in the center. His determined gaze once again burst out with murderous intent. The more nervous he became, the more excited he became, the more desperate the situation, the more high-spirited he became, and the more difficult the situation, the more heroic he became. Those scorching eyes released unwavering confidence: I am the master of this stadium!
One hand, then another, all the players on the offensive team stretched out their hands and overlapped Lu Ke's palm. Even members of the coaching staff such as Craig Roman and Kip Kleist also stretched out their hands. They came out of the palm and joined everyone else. They were never afraid of tough battles and never timid about being weak! If you want to fight, then fight!
"This is a war!" Lu Ke shouted, "This is a war! War!"
Everyone began to roar crazily, "War (ar)!" The shouts one after another began to become hoarse, and the hoarseness mobilized all the emotions in the body, like a sleeping giant, waking up again, "war!"
Their roars were so majestic and powerful that the fans in the stands also caught the sound and their sights were projected towards them.
Gradually, gradually, the same voice began to echo faintly inside the Candlestick Stadium. The chaotic, listless cheers finally found their backbone and regrouped firmly. This made Ryan Baldwin couldn't help but raise his head and look at it. Looking at the endless red ocean in front of him, he is also a drop of water in this ocean.
"War! War! War!"
Before he realized it, Ryan could not help but join in the shouting, one after another, from low to high pitch, and finally to a free shout, completely detonating all the emotions, shouting and shouting, his face His smile blossomed, then he raised his head, looked at Jiang Youning standing next to him, exchanged glances, and shouted in unison, "War!"
This is a war that belongs to the San Francisco 49ers, a war that never gives up and never retreats! And every spectator at Candlestick Stadium is a soldier in this battle!
Not only Candlestick Stadium, but at this moment, Anthony Tinoso, who was watching the game at "Joe's Bar", was also feeling the same frenzy. All the fans in the bar raised their glasses and clapped their hands dullly. The tabletop made a uniform marching sound, and then shouted in a heavy bass:
"war!"
The passionate and surging emotions gradually infected everyone. Even Anthony couldn't control himself and started to join in the shouting.
Not only because of the offensive team that is improving and going all out on the sidelines, but also because in the past nine weeks, this team has impressed every fan with their tenacity and perseverance, and in At this time we are firmly united. The pulse of the city of San Francisco seems to have been reawakened.
"War! War! War!"
That powerful momentum overwhelmed the entire audience!
…
Two minutes and fifteen seconds, "21:27", the starting position of the offense, the San Francisco 49ers have 15 yards in the half and 10 yards in the first gear. The offensive team once again goes into battle.
The special team's kickoff just now did not go smoothly. Anthony Dixon, who was responsible for the return, unfortunately failed to open up a path and started the return from the end zone. He only reached the fifteen-yard position and was intercepted. , the effect is not even as good as a safe catch in the end zone. But there was no room for regrets now as game time started moving again.
Ten yards in first gear.
The San Francisco 49ers once again launched a multi-line attack that they are good at, with three receivers on the right and one receiver on the left. Moreover, Lu Ke set up a shotgun formation, Marcus - Lynch stood in the slot receiver position on the left side, thus forming a "three on the right, two on the left" shotgun situation.
After recovering in the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, the New York Giants are now unafraid and have adopted a more impactful defensive formation.
The first line is a four-man pass rush, with the four defensive fronts taking the initiative to move forward and assume a powerful attack on the quarterback; the first line is also man-to-man defense, with three linebackers and two cornerbacks. , corresponding to the 49ers' five receiving players one by one, completely stretching the entire defensive position, while also compressing the space forward, revealing the entire offensive posture.
The second line is defended by two security guards. The distance between them and the defensive front is about fifteen yards. One is standing in the middle area and the other is standing in the right area. This is equivalent to slightly emptying the left area. ——The left side corresponds to the right side where the 49ers stocked up on three receivers.
After three quarters of confrontation, the New York Giants seemed to have found the key to their defense, firmly containing the San Francisco 49ers' changing passing attack, and even showed the aggressiveness of their own defensive team. At least, in nearly two quarters of game time, the 49ers were unable to score again. This is undoubtedly a success!
Now, the New York Giants are still two minutes and fifteen seconds away from completing the task of sealing the halftime zero.
Standing in the pocket, Lu Ke's brain was calmer and clearer than ever before. Even when the game was going smoothly in the first half, he was not so focused. The sound of his heart hitting his chest was like thunder, making his skin start to feel slightly hot. He twisted it, looking for the delicate touch at the end of his fingers, and then he raised his voice and shouted——
"attack!"
Almost as soon as the slogan was shouted, the five receiving players of the San Francisco 49ers ran out in unison. The running route was somewhat familiar, but it seemed different.
On the right wing, three players, Logan Newman, Michael Crabtree, and Kyle Williams, started and sprinted at the same time, just like the finals of a 100-meter race. The three of them are the finalists, competing for who can get the 40 yards. The sprint speed is the fastest, and there is no line change, it is completely straight.
On the left wing, Ted Ginn also started at the same time, sprinting in a straight line, taking advantage of his speed to the extreme in an instant; Marcus Lynch was the only exception, starting quickly with a small step, and rushed out only two yards and three yards. It was just two big steps, and he immediately turned at a 90-degree right angle to the right, like a sports car whizzing by, "hurrah", sprinting past the defensive forward.
The entire running route is simple and unpretentious, without any fancy or stratagem. It seems that he has made up his mind to win with speed, aiming for a fatal blow in the long-range area, aiming to end the game and achieve a reversal with one long pass. This seems to be a typical characteristic of rookie quarterbacks: they can't hold their breath at critical moments and hope for a fatal hit.
But, is this definitely talking about Lu Ke?
"In a straight line, except for Marcus Lynch, all the receiving players ran a straight line and began to attack the deep area at absolute speed. Such a running route..."
Kirk stopped abruptly in the middle of his explanation, and an idea flashed in his mind. He had seen this tactic before when the San Francisco 49ers played against the Dallas Cowboys:
The players run the route in a collective action, advancing in an overwhelming manner. When they penetrate into a certain area, they disperse instantly, just like in a billiards game, when the cue ball is kicked off, all the sub-balls are scattered, making it impossible to guard against. Completely disrupting the positioning within the area, even man-to-man defense cannot form an effective assist defense - because Lu Ke's passing is simply unpredictable.
Such thoughts only lasted for a moment, and then Kirk's explanation continued again, "Surprise attack, the New York Giants' defensive front launched a fierce attack. It seemed to be a one-on-one defensive tactics confrontation, but it turned out to be an unexpected attack. The effect is outstanding, the 49ers' pockets are shrinking, shrinking fast!"
"Lu Ke quickly adjusted his step back. After scanning the court, he adjusted his steps laterally. There was no problem with his pocket steps. He passed the ball! The passing speed was far faster than expected. This was a bullet pass, not Rainbow pass! God, this is not a long pass, this is not a long pass! The New York Giants defense made a mistake, the opportunity is here, the opportunity is here, Ted Ginn! It's Ted Ginn!"
…
After kicking off, Gene put on a 100-meter sprint stance, trying to maximize his speed advantage. Especially with the cover of his teammates on the right, the entire field suddenly turned into a 100-meter runway. The powerful impact instantly set off a wave of air, and the connected red jerseys looked like a huge bulldozer, sweeping forward mightily.
The impact of the sight, accompanied by a powerful shock, rushed towards my face!
Almost reflexively, the first reaction of the safeties in the second-line zone defense, as well as the cornerbacks and linebackers in the first-line man-to-man defense is to start to step back, adjust their pace, and try to keep up with the sprint of the receiving player. Speed, trying to complete the close defense. This is the body's instinct, the first subconscious adjustment made in the visual illusion.
After starting, Gene pretended to push his opposing defensive cornerback, creating a gap for the opponent, and then increased his speed. Sure enough, the other party also activated it a second time, pushing the instantaneous acceleration to the extreme. The two people moved forward, one behind the other, and shot forward like bullets being discharged.
Almost in the blink of an eye, after rushing ten yards, Gene's footsteps came to an emergency stop. His hands still maintained a strong sprinting posture, but his footsteps began to step in place, paused momentarily, and then he could see out of the corner of his eyes, The opposing cornerback couldn't stop at all. The inertia and momentum continued to advance under the continuous acceleration, running directly over his head and getting further and further away.
Chance!
With a small step, a turn, and a look back, almost at the same time, Jean moved quickly towards the left sideline, creating a gap. His body adjusted according to the inertia, and then Lu Ke appeared in sight. In the next second, a bullet passed towards the chest at high speed.
Without any confrontation or obstruction, or even a shadow pass on his back, Gene easily held the football in his arms.
Immediately, the whole place erupted in cheers and roars!
