"Wow, wow." After sighing twice in a row, Tirico continued his explanation, "It's a pity. The first wave of offense was undoubtedly wonderful, and both teams showed excellent performance. He was in good condition, but unfortunately, the San Francisco 49ers ended their first offensive drive with an interception."
"This is rookie quarterback Lu Ke's sixth interception this season. Obviously, he is not a panicked quarterback. He has only handed over six interceptions in the fifteenth week of the season, but today's game , but the Steelers put tremendous pressure on the 49ers offense and entered an all-out state from the first second of the game. So, what do you think of the first wave of offense, Jon?"
Tirico shoulders the responsibility of threading the needle. Of course, his personal interpretation of the game is also very clear, and his tactical interpretation is enough to make people shine, so in just a few words, he immediately led the audience into the state of the game.
Gruden, the former head coach, was the first to speak, "It can be seen that the Steelers' tactics today were very targeted, putting enough pressure on the pocket but not easily attacking the quarterback."
"Note that several of their linebackers and defensive fronts are players with the ability to attack the quarterback at any time. Today, they are just content to quickly compress the pockets, create pressure, create rush, psychologically and situationally Give the opponent enough impact, but at the same time be able to use more power to defend the pass and run the ball."
"Leaving a threat to rush the quarterback here, but pushing the defense back a little bit, gives the defense more options in its tactics and makes it more elusive for the opposing offense."
"In this wave of offense just now, the 49ers conducted a total of 11 offenses, including three runs and eight passes. However, the Steelers only lost 33 yards. They really made a difference in the short and intermediate passing areas. Steel curtains were built one after another.”
"The linebackers and cornerbacks complement each other, and the cornerbacks and safety guards are completely connected. The entire defense is accumulated layer by layer. It seems to empty the backfield, leaving room for Lu Ke to pass the long ball, but it relies on the first defensive line. The pressure exerted compressed Lu Ke's passing time and space, thereby accumulating advantages for the defense behind him."
"It can be seen that the Steelers are very well prepared. They gave up attacking the quarterback and defending in the backfield, but started from attacking the pocket, linking up link by link; they were willing to release certain catches, It doesn't matter even if some yards are lost, but the pressure can be accumulated bit by bit, and finally at the critical moment, the players' personal abilities are used to interrupt the advance. Undoubtedly, the Steelers are very well prepared in terms of tactics. "
"The last interception seemed to be completed by outside linebacker James Harrison due to his personal ability, but it was actually the result of pressure accumulation and advantage."
As the former head coach, Gruden had a more comprehensive perspective and a bigger picture, interpreting the game from a tactical level; then, Tirico turned his attention to Jaworski and asked the former quarterback about his Opinion.
"Jon analyzed it from a tactical level, and I will talk about Lu Ke's performance just now." Jaworski took over the conversation skillfully, "In fact, I don't think Lu Ke can do any better, just as Jon said that the defensive team arranged the steel curtain layer by layer, not leaving much space for Lu Ke, but Lu Ke still used short passes and tactical distribution layout to get three first attacks and push past Halftime, which is really rare.”
"However, as far as I am concerned, Lu Ke's passing control today is still not very accurate." Jaworski changed the topic and added, "Among the eight passes, two passes were incomplete. , and an interception. Including these three turnovers, there were two turnovers among the other five successful passes, and there were errors in a total of five passes."
"Four of them were slightly too big." Jaworski quickly called up the video and started to draw circles and mark them with the yellow carbon pen in his hand. "It can be seen that Lu Ke's touch is not very good." Accurate, because through the gloves, the touch of the fingertips is too slow, so he has to increase his strength, and it is easy to control the force too hard."
"The two successful catches were made by Vernon Davis and Logan Newman who took advantage of the tight end's physical advantage to get stuck in position; and this interception was made by Ted Ginn. When he lost his position, he formed a one-on-one matchup with James Harrison, but the pass was slightly too wide, so Harrison, who was standing behind, used the advantage of jumping up to steal the ball from Gene. Walked the football, made the interception.”
After the analysis, Jaworski also made a summary, "The impact of today's weather and the impact of the live game can be more or less seen. However, this is only the first wave of attacks. The following games will It’s still worth looking forward to. Now let’s see how Lu Ke completes the adjustment and adapts to the rhythm of the game as soon as possible.”
"Yes, in the first wave of offense just now, there was some back and forth between the two sides. After the 49ers successfully pushed past halftime, it unfortunately ended with an interception, but the intensity of the confrontation and the spark of the game were eye-catching. ." Tirico completed the final summary, "The next game is worth looking forward to. Now, Ben Roethlisberger is about to lead the offensive team to make its official debut."
…
Lu Ke stood on the court with his hands on his waist, and a breath of turbid air was blocked in his chest. He could not spit it out or swallow it. His eyes were fixed on the opposite Steelers defensive team, unwilling to look away.
This is the most powerful defensive team he has faced in his career. Even the sense of pressure and urgency brought by the Baltimore Ravens is not so strong. It is like facing layers of pressure in a storm. It's like a steel curtain, it's airtight. Every pass, every run, every tactical choice must be calculated, calculated, and calculated again.
After today's game started, the San Francisco 49ers took the lead in attacking. Now three minutes and thirty-five seconds have passed. They only got three first attacks and barely pushed past halftime. One of the first attacks was helped by the opponent's defensive foul. , and finally ended with an interception, completely at a disadvantage, as if every muscle in the body could feel the ubiquitous pressure.
The defensive team in front of them definitely deserves the title of No. 1 in the league.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive formation is a "3-4" formation, with three defensive linemen and four linebackers.
On the defensive front, Casey Hampton is a professional peak-defensive tackle, but his game responsibilities are clearer and more unique. In the past nine years, he has entered the Pro Bowl five times and twice. Winning the Super Bowl for the first time is the pinnacle of the entire league, enough to defeat one against two or even one against three.
Cameron-Heyard, defensive end, this year's 31st overall pick in the first round, has won the Big Ten Conference championship for the past three consecutive years and has performed exceptionally well this season. He played last week One person got three tackles alone - extremely rare for a defensive end.
Brett Keisel, defensive end, two-time Super Bowl winner, last year's All-American first team member.
Above the linebacker line, the two inside linebackers, James Farrior and Larry Foote, are both two-time Super Bowl champions. The former also became the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2004. The team's annual MVP.
Two outside linebackers, James Harrison and LaMarr-oodley, are also Super Bowl champions, the former two times and the latter one. Woodley was selected to the Pro Bowl and the All-American First Team last year; while Harrison was an undrafted rookie in 2002, but has been selected to the Pro Bowl for four consecutive years starting in 2007, and also won the title of the league's Defensive Player of the Year in 2008.
Harrison is the player who just completed the interception.
The defensive front line can be called an all-star lineup; the defensive second line also shows no signs of weakness.
Two cornerbacks, William Gay and Ike Taylor, are both Super Bowl champions, and both have the ability to make fumbles and interceptions. Gay even Has the ability to intercept and return touchdowns.
Two safeties, Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu.
The former was an undrafted rookie in 2002, a member of the Super Bowl champions, and had the best performance of his career this season, not only completing five interceptions, but also recording two quarterback sacks; the latter He is a legendary player who has been in the league for eight years, been selected to the Pro Bowl seven times, won two Super Bowls, and was the league's Defensive Player of the Year winner last year.
Every defensive player is a well-known figure in the league, Peak Hampton, defensive end Keizer, outside linebacker Harrison, outside linebacker Woodley, safety guard Clark, safety guard Polamalu, these are all key The players are star-studded and powerful, and they are all in top form this season.
In comparison, the two cornerbacks do not seem so dazzling, but their defensive strength cannot be underestimated at all, especially in the entire defensive system, their superior strength is simply airtight.
With eleven players on the defensive team, Lu Ke couldn't even find an obvious breakthrough.
After a full seven days of preparation, the samples and content on paper were already extremely difficult. After actually entering the competition, the difficulty increased exponentially. The only feeling was - out of breath, really out of breath.
To end this drive with an interception is extremely bad.
"But, this is not the worst." Even if this sentence is the true thought in Lu Ke's mind, he still feels ridiculous, but that is the fact. Stealing is not the worst situation, and the entire defense feels uncomfortable. To the loopholes and gaps, that's it.
Now, Lu Ke only felt that he was standing in front of a steel wall, and he was helpless.
"Damn it." Lu Ke cursed secretly, turned around and left the court. He had to start reading the tactical manual now. This sense of restraint and oppression was unprecedented in Lu Ke's short career. He needed to calm down. Clear your mind.
This game is far more difficult than imagined!
