"Wonderful! Wonderful! This catch is so wonderful! How did Brown do it? God, this foot control, this gesture control, and this timing are simply a textbook catch!"
In the studio, Tirico's sigh brought the audience into the video playback.
In this offense, Roethlisberger's pass was slightly too wide and slightly too high. In order to avoid the tight blockade of the 49ers defensive players, the football's landing point was already outside the sideline; while Brown was under the strict defense of the two defensive players. While guarding, he forcefully opened up a gap of half a step, then turned around and swooped, with his hands outside the sideline, reaching for the stars, turning decay into magic, and caught the football.
To most people, this was a pass that was too hard, too high, too far, too wide, and Roethlisberger's throw was already heavy and powerful, making the football too heavy. Basically, I can only watch the ball and sigh.
However, Brown not only completed the catch, but after catching the ball, he immediately lowered his body and kept both feet within the bounds while controlling the football, ensuring that it was a successful catch!
Judging from the slow-motion replay, first the left foot landed, then the toes of the right foot slid tightly to the ground, and finally the whole person was pushed by the defensive player and flew out of the sideline. The whole catching process was like dancing on a tightrope, yet so graceful, so perfect, so amazing.
The 49ers' defensive team still performed well, and their rigorous defense did not leave room for Roethlisberger.
Surrounded from all sides, Roethlisberger was almost helpless and had no choice. He passed the ball, which was similar to a semi-abandonment throw; however, there was no room to receive the ball, but Antonio Brown powerfully Created a space to catch the ball, completed the ball, and completed the fourth down transition.
Tirico, who is used to seeing countless big scenes, couldn't help but burst out in admiration and applauded Brown.
The home fans even let out disappointed exclamations: Our players have performed extremely well, but the opponent's players have performed even better. This is indeed a sense of frustration.
But Candlestick Stadium quickly organized itself again, made a noise, and disrupted the Steelers' offensive tactics; and then prayed that Brown's performance just now was just a flash of inspiration.
But, this is not it.
In the subsequent game, Brown seemed to have entered a wonderful state of being. Among the seven passes, he became the target of the ball four times. He successfully completed three catches, and all three times were in the ball. Under the extreme predicament, he managed to snatch the football from the defensive player with a desperate gesture.
In one of the catches, 49ers cornerback Carlos Rodgers had already intercepted Brown and grabbed the football with both hands above the opponent's head. However, Brown, who was half a beat too slow, also firmly grasped the football. , and then used the gravity of the fall to superimpose the strength of his whole body and then hit hard, knocking Carlos out abruptly, and Brown controlled the football.
After landing, Brown rolled backwards on the lawn in a panic, and the whole world was spinning. But after confirming that he had successfully caught the ball, he stood up with a snap, raised the football high, and showed off his record in front of the sea of red in the audience.
There was no yelling, no roaring, just standing calmly, but for the first time, the Candlestick Stadium became quiet.
Such a performance can be called the top state of a super god!
The outstanding performance of one player directly revitalized the entire offense, because the 49ers defensive team had to spend more energy to contain Brown, which also made other parts of the defense loose. The defensive team coach did not have time to adjust the offensive tactics. Under the circumstances, Roethlisberger completed the connection with Wallace, and the latter rushed into the end zone and scored the first touchdown of the game.
Although it was Wallace who completed the touchdown, Brown, who completed four extreme catches in this wave of offense, was the real hero. With the power of one person, he broke the first quarter of today's game. His performance tended to be perfect. The San Francisco 49ers emerged on the stage of the Monday Night Game!
The momentum battle between the two teams began to tilt.
It's not about the opponent completing the touchdown, but the way the opponent completes the touchdown. Antonio Brown's superb performance made every player feel a little dazed!
The San Francisco 49ers defense is not a common citizen who has seen the world. They have witnessed the toughness and toughness of Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions. They have also witnessed the dexterity and strength of Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals. , but facing the Browns again today, they felt helpless and trapped in being unable to defend at all, which was even more uncomfortable than Johnson's absolute toughness and Fitzgerald's elusiveness.
Because they leave no gaps at all, but Brown can tear the space and tear a gap. This, what should we do?
The eyes of all the players on the defensive team fell on Lu Ke. Every time they encounter difficulties, the 49ers' offensive team is always able to be reborn, regain the advantage with an absolutely strong attitude, and form a confrontation step by step. In the collision of powerful forces, they rush to the final goal with courage and sharpness. victory.
But the problem is that not only has Lu Ke not improved, but he has continued to cool down.
This feeling is really indescribable, just like drowning.
Immersed in the boundless icy lake, he kept struggling, sliding his limbs hard, trying to rush to the water, but the water plants wrapped around his ankles were pulling him down bit by bit. As a result, the oxygen in the lungs began to slowly decrease, the power in the body began to slowly weaken, and finally the whole person began to slowly fall.
The suffocating feeling of embarrassment slowly burned, but every pore in his body could feel the biting coldness of the lake.
Feeling cold in the hand, Lu Ke now truly feels the meaning of this word. It has nothing to do with strength or the game, but more to do with the weather and state. Every aspect seems not quite right, fingertip control and wrist control. , arm control, and even field of view observation, it seems that everything has been plunged into a mass of ice mist, chaotic and blurry, cold and dazed.
Lu Ke is working hard, he always works hard, refuses to give up, and refuses to surrender.
After he came on the field again, he realized that his passing control was not accurate enough, so he began to adjust his tactical strategies and try his best to control the game with short passes and running the ball. This is not an unexperienced situation, such as the last game against the Reds. In the fourth quarter of the Sparrows' game, he could still complete the push.
This is also true.
In short passes, through the cross running and screening of the double tight end tactics, and Marcus Lynch's unexpected running to catch the ball, in the intricate tactical arrangement, they can slowly tear apart the steel. The team's seemingly airtight defense successfully pushed the team's position forward bit by bit.
Stumbling and stumbling, Lu Ke once again led the San Francisco 49ers past halftime and to the 43-yard line. However, the Steelers' defense suddenly began to toughen up and speed up the pace. On the defensive front, Applying more pressure against the offensive line, but still not blitzing the quarterback, and then the entire short passing area begins to falter.
An incomplete pass, a lost yardage on the run, a successful connection on a six-yard pass, and before they even had time to breathe, they were out on third down.
Facing a four-yard situation on fourth gear, with Lu Ke's current feel and condition, the San Francisco 49ers could not choose to take risks, so the offensive team had no choice but to end the game again.
Lu Ke only felt suffocated, too suffocated. The feeling of being so oppressive and nauseating made Lu Ke unable to hold back any longer. He got angry at himself, clenched his hands into fists, and roared "Ah" , but what’s worse is that even the roar breeds a deep feeling of powerlessness, as if being stuck in a mire and unable to move.
Not only was the depression not relieved, it became even more depressing.
After nearly five minutes of back and forth, they still failed to score. To make matters worse, the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive team appeared again, but it seemed that they had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and the entire offensive momentum became fierce and powerful. At the end of the first quarter, they had successfully pushed past halftime.
Then the game started again in the second quarter, and the Steelers offensive team continued the momentum of advancement. After Heath Miller completed a key third-speed transition, Roethlisberger unexpectedly chose to Antonio Brown, who performed well today, made a nine-yard short pass. After Brown successfully caught the ball, he further advanced.
First, he got rid of the misplaced cornerback Reggie Smith who was marking him, and then he escaped two sacks due to the pick-up by his teammates. Finally, he used his own emergency braking to avoid safety guard CJ Spielman. He made a closing tackle and raced into the end zone, scoring the Steelers' second touchdown of the game.
This was also the first touchdown of Brown's career.
Completed the ultimate catch near the sideline, shook off two defenses, avoided two sacks, advanced 28 yards, and scored a touchdown. Such an excellent performance is enough to prove Brown's excellent catching ability and condition.
Antonio Brown, became famous in one battle!
The ones who were reduced to the background in this game were the San Francisco 49ers. Does this script seem a bit familiar? A few weeks ago, when facing the visiting Arizona Cardinals at home, the 49ers were reduced to a backdrop, witnessing the emergence of this year's rookie player Patrick Peterson, and now it's Brown's turn?
Oops, the situation is really not good.
When the San Francisco 49ers offensive team came on the field again and struck out again, the home fans really became serious. Such a posture of losing ground made people start to feel uneasy.
