It is not uncommon for the same team to perform completely differently in night games and non-night games, in the regular season and in the playoffs.
In fact, the most famous example in the league is the Cincinnati Bengals.
From 2005 to 2015, this team has entered the playoffs seven times, but it is difficult to win a win. They have failed in all seven games. The playoffs are like a chasm, curbing their further progress, even if every time They can reach the playoffs every year, but fail every year. It seems that it has become a habit to miss the first round of the playoffs.
The same is true now for the San Francisco 49ers:
After being in excellent form during the regular season, can they still maintain consistency and continuity after reaching a higher stage in the night games and even the playoffs? Can they still maintain enough confrontation? Can they still win?
Some players, some players, are born for big scenes. So do the San Francisco 49ers have such talent and temperament?
Before the night game, everyone believed that the San Francisco 49ers had grown into a strong team and had the absolute strength to fight against any team; but after the night game, more voices began to question whether this so-called absolute strength was Not a paper tiger?
And defeating a St. Louis Rams team with two wins and nine losses this season is not enough to prove the 49ers' strength.
Whether it is Lu Ke or Jim Hubble, this is their first season in the professional league, and they need more games to prove themselves; including the fact that the entire offseason has undergone a thorough cleaning, The same goes for the completely restructured young players.
In sharp contrast to the reporters' pursuit and praise, commentators, analysts and fans did not buy it at all. Even though the 49ers had just scored a big victory, their eyes still remained on the previous two consecutive losses.
As the saying goes, one loss is bad, two losses in a row is disaster, and three losses in a row is the end of the world. This is the current state of competitive sports.
The San Francisco 49ers, who have just experienced a "disaster", naturally cannot "rebuild" so quickly. At least, they cannot be called a strong team with a solid foundation and cannot have people's unconditional trust and support. Doubts came in a steady stream.
ESPN's "Inside the League" has once again become a base for debate where a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom. There is a reason why this program is so popular and enduring in the league, and has even become an important source of authoritative opinions.
Facing the hustle and bustle of debate and discussion, Charles Davis remained calm and calm, assuming a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, quietly watching, and then waiting for the moment when he would make his shining debut.
The past three weeks have undoubtedly been the happiest moments of the entire season for Charles, because of the San Francisco 49ers' consecutive losses, and because his judgments and predictions have become reality.
First they lost the game with Lu Ke's interception, and then they surrendered with nine sacks. Two games exposed all the weaknesses of this team. It seemed like overnight, all the light disappeared. People thought This is a peacock, but in fact it is just a pheasant with feathers on it.
As Charles said, Lu Ke's reference samples are too few. Not to mention "excellent", even the qualification standards are open to question. There are too many such representatives in the league to count.
Not to mention, the second-year quarterback of the St. Louis Rams, Sam Bradford, is one of the representatives. He was a blockbuster in his rookie season, and then he was injured in Zhongyong this season, and he gradually disappeared from everyone.
Those praises, those pursuits, those compliments are just following the trend.
In Charles' view, the weak link of physical confrontation will gradually become a stumbling block, affecting Lu Ke's performance and even ruining Lu Ke's career.
Lu Ke is a quarterback who relies on his mind to play. Defensive reading, route prediction, tactical layout and passing accuracy are the magic weapons for him to achieve so many victories, especially in Jim Harbaugh's ever-changing West Coast. In the offensive system, he is like a fish in water; however, all of this requires absolute concentration and high concentration.
Under the impact of absolutely strong force, there will be slight fluctuations and interferences. All aspects of Lu Ke's tactics will be disrupted and interrupted, just like a thousand-mile embankment destroyed by an ant nest. The defeat of one link will lead to All bets are lost.
In the two games against the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens, the underlying context was actually similar.
After the defensive team exerted enough pressure by pressing and shrinking, it disrupted Lu Ke's concentration and concentration, thereby interrupting the offensive team's coherence and impact, and then gained the upper hand in the defensive confrontation; the Ravens Going one step further than the Cardinals, he clamped down on Lu Ke's throat with a tough sack.
Every professional commentator can see that the game against the Ravens seemed close and tense, but in fact, the 49ers had no chance at all.
Furthermore, not having an advantage in confrontation is likely to lead to injuries.
Even if it is not a major injury, it is just a minor injury like Bradford's, which is enough to affect the quarterback's performance. The St. Louis Rams' poor record this season is the best proof.
After experiencing the highlight moment of this season, Lu Ke is likely to be as fleeting as a shooting star next year. Without waiting until the end of the season, people will not remember that there was a Chinese quarterback in the league.
Charles knew this, and Charles believed it.
He loved moments like this, moments when he was proven right. Even if the San Francisco 49ers defeated the St. Louis Rams this week, Charles was still in a good mood. This game was nothing at all and had nothing to brag about. Now, the whole situation has been completely reversed.
"Charles, you are too quiet today. What do you think of this week's game?" In the midst of the commotion, Edward Bowen still guided the conversation.
This is the moment that belongs to Charles. It seems that you can see the spotlight coming on, the drumbeats speeding up, and the adrenaline begins to explode in an instant. "To borrow a word from Ray Lewis after the game last week: The San Francisco 49ers' The offensive team is not scary at all; and Lu Ke is not as strong as imagined!"
Ray Lewis, the soul of the Baltimore Ravens defense, said in a post-game interview that people were too tolerant and too supportive of Lu Ke and the 49ers offense, and they were only lenient because of external factors. standard, but the real strength must still be tested through competition.
In the subtext, Lewis's point of view couldn't be more obvious. The reason why people are so excited and excited is just because Lu Ke is a Chinese quarterback. For the first time, they know that Chinese players can also complete the pass, and they can pass it well. , so everyone started making a fuss and praising them. But in fact, there is nothing special about Lu Ke at all.
When reporters pressed further on the topic of Lu Ke, Lewis replied lightly, "He is not worthy of so much time to discuss. He is just an ordinary quarterback, just like any other I have sacked before." Same as a quarterback. We got the win, we got nine sacks, that's all, I don't have anything to talk about."
He doesn't deserve it.
This is Lewis's attitude. That condescending posture did not take Lu Ke and the 49ers seriously at all. There was no irony, no ridicule, just disdain and contempt. It seemed that he had no interest in provocation; but for Lewis's attitude, it was No one can argue with that.
Because, the Ravens won; because, Lewis completely froze Lu Ke, pressing the 49ers offensive team, which was so powerful this season, to the ground, rubbing, rubbing again; and because, Lewis contributed in this game His MVP-level performance crushed the highly sought-after regular season MVP contenders.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is the iron law of competitive sports.
Lewis is qualified to make such condescending remarks. This is the right and honor of the winner; the San Francisco 49ers can be dissatisfied, dissatisfied, unyielding, and can even start quarreling, swearing, and being dissatisfied, but reporters will not refute. This is what belongs to Lewis moment.
Obviously, Lewis does not think Lu Ke is an opponent worth discussing at all. At least not now.
I'm afraid, only Lewis in the entire alliance can ignore Lu Ke with such disdain.
Charles expressed deep agreement with this and couldn't agree more. If he had been at the interview site, he would even be willing to stand up and applaud Lewis. Someone finally told the truth.
So, in today's program, Charles decided to express his solidarity, quoted Lewis's views, and reiterated his position.
"A three-year-old child has learned addition and subtraction within a hundred. Is this amazing? Yes, very amazing; but this does not mean that he can win the Wolf Prize! Because we all know that even if Awesome, after all, this is just addition and subtraction within a hundred, and we are still far from winning a prize."
That arrogant posture fully opened up the taunting skills, interpreted Lewis's words from a new perspective, and pushed it to a whole new level. In one breath, he simply and crudely compared all the previous victories of the San Francisco 49ers to "Addition and subtraction within 100" seems to be just like picking up things from a bag and picking them up at your fingertips, and is not worth mentioning at all.
With that proud and arrogant attitude, even if he tried to make a nonchalant expression, he still couldn't hide the excitement in his eyebrows. He was enjoying this moment to the fullest, the moment when he stepped on Lu Ke's soles. This is right, this is real. After more than half a season of twists and turns, things are finally back on track.
Charles raised his chin high, feeling refreshed.
