On the thirteenth day of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers faced the St. Louis Rams at home.
Although this is an intra-division showdown, and it is the rematch between two of the league's most historic and ceremonial rivals, after a series of ups and downs, the biggest suspense of this game is:
Can the San Francisco 49ers shake off their two-game losing streak and regain their offensive rhythm?
What's more, how much energy can the St. Louis Rams burst out to replicate the game of defeating the New Orleans Saints? They can make Drew Brees stretched, and naturally they can also make Lu Ke busy?
What's more, will the San Francisco 49ers, who have repeatedly impressed people this season, sink and become the trophies of the giant killer again? Or will they use this as a turning point to defeat opponents who are in poor form during the season and regain the key to victory? ? This is about winning and losing, but it is not just about winning and losing. It is more about the San Francisco 49ers - ignoring the existence of opponents, and about Lu Ke - will this rookie quarterback never recover from this?
Breaking points, focus, hot spots, it seems that as long as it is a San Francisco 49ers game, there will never be a lack of hype gimmicks. There is no way, who allows them to have the only Chinese quarterback in the league?
After the opening, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team pushed forward with a 100% offensive success rate, and after a strong touchdown, it announced its recovery; then, the San Francisco 49ers defensive team struck out with a clean strikeout, without giving the opponent a chance. Leave any breathing room, just take the field, send the opponent's offense off the field, set the stage again, and wait for your quarterback to shine.
Obviously, both the offensive team and the defensive team have taken on a new look, showing a completely different state. Everyone in the team has shown their determination as one, and it seems that they have not been affected by the two consecutive defeats at all. The strong aura of such 49ers is really frightening.
So, what will be Lu Ke's performance next? Can it continue the strength of the first wave of attacks? Can you still find the right balance between stability and risk-taking and lead the offensive team to continue to advance? Also, can you break through the rookie wall and show a higher level of competitive status?
Everyone is criticizing rookie quarterbacks. In addition to their lack of experience, lack of time, and lack of accumulation, in addition to their unsatisfactory interpretation of the tactical manual, there is another more important reason: their insufficiency. Stablize.
This is the case for most rookie players. Maybe they gave an epic MVP-level performance in one game, but then completely fell apart and surrendered in the next game. Maybe they gave everything they wanted in one quarter and killed everyone in the next quarter. I can't find it at all.
At the same time, their game rhythm also lacks changes. Once they encounter a heavy blow, such as consecutive interceptions or consecutive losses, they will immediately fall into a rut of being helpless. They seem to have no sense of touch and are helpless, like headless flies. Always spinning in circles.
After one defeat, there follows an avalanche of losing streaks.
This is true for young players, and this is true for young teams. The ups and downs, ups and downs of performance have always been unable to maintain a stable competitiveness. This is true for rookie players and young players throughout the long season. This is true for team sports such as football and basketball, and rugby is no exception.
The reason why Kurt Warner is legendary and the reason why Tom Brady is amazing is that after they took the stage for the first time, they showed sophistication and stability that is not suitable for rookies and young people, and continued their wonderful performances until the critical moment. It continued to the grand stage and became famous.
The same is true for Lu Ke this season.
Before the two consecutive losses, Lu Ke's high-frequency performance was eye-catching, and his consistent and stable output lasted for a full ten weeks, including the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles; but against the Arizona Cardinals, Lu Ke For the first time in the season, he failed to score a passing touchdown and sent three interceptions. His performance fell to the bottom, and the entire consistency and stability/both suffered interruptions.
So what about this game?
After the first wave of attacks, his eyes fell on Lu Ke again.
"Short pass, Lu Ke found Vernon Davis and completed a six-yard advance."
"Short pass again, this time it's Vernon Davis. After receiving the ball for five yards, he pushed forward. Vernon continued to push forward. Logan completed the pick-and-roll screen. Wow, sprint, continue sprint... This is a time Sixteen yards of gain.”
"Run the ball, Marcus Lynch successfully completed a six-yard run, and now the San Francisco 49ers' entire offense seems to be open."
"Beautiful! Michael Crabtree's catch was so beautiful, he just made it with his fingertips and made it with one hand! God, the group of receivers that have almost disappeared from the field in the past two weeks. Now that they are finally back, they are in great shape, and they can do whatever they want to do, and they can do whatever they want to pass!"
"Can you believe it? After the opening, Lu Ke made six of six passes, with a 100% passing accuracy! God, such a performance is really full of firepower. The St. Louis Rams' defense seems to be unable to keep up."
"This is a long pass... no, a short pass! In the crowd, Logan Newman and Vernon Davis exchanged positions. In the end, Newman completed the catch, and Davis completed the pick-up. The tight end tactic was really successful."
"Wait, the advance is not over yet, Newman is still advancing, Vernon and Crabtree are both escorting them, and they continue to advance! Thirty yards, twenty yards, ten yards... fell down, the St. Louis Rams' defensive team Finally, when we entered the red zone, we completed the key defense. This was really thrilling. If we had been half a beat slower, Newman would have continued to rush into the end zone and score a touchdown!"
"The pass was not completed. The Rams increased their defensive intensity in the red zone. This was the first pass of this game. Lu Ke's first pass was not completed. When Ted Ginn was about to complete the ball, the defense The players were completely stuck in position and defended cleanly to avoid losing a second touchdown, but the 49ers still had two chances to attack."
"Ho ho ho, ho ho ho, touchdown, this is another touchdown. Who would have thought that at the critical moment, Lu Ke would find Marcus Lynch with a fake pass and a real pass. This running back has become the most successful running back this season. He has completed four receiving touchdowns, even more than the two receivers Vernon Davis and Kyle Williams. Jesus Christ, what is going on? Has the running back changed his career to a guest receiver? ?”
"Now, the first quarter has only passed...well, nine minutes and thirty-three seconds, and the San Francisco 49ers at home have already taken a two-touchdown lead. What's even more frightening is that the San Francisco 49ers are currently Among our offenses, the passing attack is nine out of ten and has passed for 119 yards; on the other hand, the running attack has also advanced 29 yards."
"It's terrible. The offensive efficiency of the San Francisco 49ers is really terrible! Is this the same offensive team that was mired in mistakes in the past two weeks? What happened in the past week?"
Not only are the commentators asking this question, but all the viewers in front of the TV are asking the same question. In just one week, the San Francisco 49ers have once again been reborn and revitalized. All of this is really magical and amazing.
When the first half ended, the commentators already knew that this was going to be a victory, and a massacre victory, not only because of the San Francisco 49ers' offense, but also because of the San Francisco 49ers' defense. The group is equally impressive.
In the first and second quarters of the game, the 49ers defense produced an interception and a fumble, and contained the opponent's running ball offense to single digits of nine yards; in addition, , as well as a quarterback sack, four forced pass rushes, and seven effective tackles on receivers.
All of this can be summed up in a set of data: In the entire first half, the St. Louis Rams only got two first downs. They were not even able to push past halftime and were always struggling in their own half. It seemed that Trapped deep in the quicksand, unable to extricate myself.
Naturally, the Rams failed to score in the first half, and could not even see a glimmer of hope of scoring. This was the real fatal blow. The Rams' second-year quarterback Sam Bradford ( Sam-Bradford) was simply confused.
As last year's No. 1 overall pick, Bradford had high hopes when he entered the league. He was the winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy and showed excellent physical condition and excellent passing touch in training camp. ——He is a traditional pocket quarterback, and Vondrick tested as high as 36 points.
After entering the league, Bradford did not disappoint, breaking a series of records in his rookie season.
First, he broke Peyton Manning's rookie season pass attempts record and pass completion record; then he became the third player in the rookie season after Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan. A quarterback who played in sixteen regular season games and completed 3,000 yards passing.
Even though the Rams didn't make the playoffs, Bradford was undoubtedly the offensive rookie of the year and was a natural.
Much anticipated, Bradford's second season was plagued by ankle injuries and his performance was intermittent. However, the performance in the first half of this game was a disaster. Bradford and his offensive team were completely at a loss, as if they were not facing the San Francisco 49ers, but the Baltimore Ravens, airtight. 's defense left them completely breathless.
For the St. Louis Rams, the offensive team could not see any improvement, and the entire first half was spent in confusion; and the defensive team could not prevent an effective confrontation, just look at a set of data -
In the first half, the San Francisco 49ers only punted once. In other words, except for that punt, as long as Lu Ke is on the court, the team can score.
As evidenced by this, the St. Louis Rams collapsed, and then...then the first half was over. All commentators agreed that this would be a hearty victory - belonging to the San Francisco 49ers.
