The 2011 season is coming to an end. Does anyone still remember the matchup in the first week of the regular season?
For the 49ers and the Twelve, that game should be unforgettable, because for fans of both sides, the impression was so profound that it even continued the smell of gunpowder throughout the season.
The San Francisco 49ers scored a touchdown, and the Seattle Seahawks also scored a touchdown. The San Francisco 49ers scored a touchdown again, but the Seattle Seahawks just took a free kick. Then the game reached a deadlock and ended the first half. After the second half started again, the San Francisco 49ers gradually pulled away. They opened up the distance and ended up with five touchdowns, beating their opponents strongly and getting a good start to the season.
Now everyone has the same question in their minds: Is this the case again in this game?
Because, the San Francisco 49ers scored a touchdown again!
"Incredible! It's really incredible!"
After exclamating, Kirk himself chuckled, "The director just told me that some viewers complained on the live broadcast message board. I used the two adjectives 'incredible' and 'wonderful' too frequently." , so much so that it has now become my signature. Haha, that’s indeed the case.”
"Now we can look back at the offense just now, and the audience can understand my mood."
Kirk began to analyze the entire offense in detail. At the same time, the director also began to play back the game video, using the gap between the team's celebration and the special team's appearance to quickly complete the explanation.
"The Seahawks defense has obviously increased the intensity of the raid, trying to avoid letting Lu Ke pass the ball in a comfortable pocket. Their entire raid mode draws on some of the experience of the two games of the Ravens and Steelers to implement They focused on pressure, supplemented by unexpected raids, and made the quarterback as nervous as possible to observe the pass. They achieved good results."
"But we can see how Lu Ke handles it."
"Once faced with strong pressure, he took the initiative to step forward and connected with Vernon Davis who was pulling towards the middle area; once his pocket was torn, he chose to throw the ball parallelly at the critical moment, and Marcus -Lynch, and then Logan Newman completed the pick and helped Marcus advance with the ball."
"Another strong pressure from the pass rusher, and he also jumped to try to break up the pass. He took two step backs to open up the distance, passed a lofty parabola on a rainbow pass, and again short The pass found Vernon Davis, who was opposite the cornerback, and the latter took advantage of his size to complete the pass.”
"We can see that in the chaos in the pocket, he never panics and is always able to make passing choices at critical moments; secondly, those seemingly simple passes, but Lu Ke's prediction of the defensive player's position , players have a very good grasp of the matchup situation, and every choice can occupy a small advantage, even if it is just an extra two or three yards, but the cumulative advantage makes the Seahawks exhausted."
"On the last pass, we all saw the result of the touchdown, but the accumulation of advantages before that was crucial. Facing the situation of three yards on third gear, just when everyone's attention was on Vernon Day When Weiss and Logan Newman were on the ball, Lu Ke found the running Ted Ginn with an accurate shot. This was a 31-yard long pass that stabbed the Seahawks' weakness. .”
"Jean got rid of the safety guard with an absolute advantage, and then without any challenges or obstacles, he easily reached the end zone and scored the second touchdown of the game."
The key points of the entire offense have been replayed. After Kirk pointed out the key points, he concluded:
"Tactical choices, defensive reading, and on-the-spot dispatching, these are the most amazing parts of Lu Ke's growth throughout the season. In the first week of the regular season, we were deeply impressed by his long passes, but now, the long passes have It has become one of the weapons in the tactical arsenal, allowing us to control the game more rationally and wisely.”
At this time, the special teams team had already taken the field and started kicking the extra point. Teddy took over, "So... incredible. Right?"
"Yes, it's incredible." Kirk laughed frankly. "For a rookie quarterback, such a growth rate is absolutely terrifying. Sometimes, I even suspect that he is an alien."
"So, which one is 'ET'?" Teddy joked, raising his voice, and the two of them laughed silently.
Then the game started again. But the course of the game was not the direction expected by the Century Chain Stadium: the script seemed to be wrong.
Because the Seattle Seahawks' offense suffered a strikeout, they unfortunately could only choose to try a free kick. After the free kick was scored, the twelve people were collectively a little confused. Looking at the score of "10:14" on the big screen, the home team There is an ominous premonition permeating the air. Is this game really going to completely replicate the first week of the regular season?
The beginning and progress have been consistent, but what about the ending?
However, such panic and uneasy speculation only spread for a while, and then it was successfully broken, because the process of the game was finally different!
There was no deadlock in the rest of the first half. The San Francisco 49ers, who made their third appearance, once again scored a touchdown, further widening the score gap to "10:21".
In this touchdown, it was Marcus Lynch who made the contribution.
Lu Ke, who once again took the field, really activated Vernon Davis in this game, bringing the variety of tactics of the two close-end forwards to the extreme, and the complexity and change of the tactics also made people comprehensively surprised. People feel Jim Harbaugh's coaching level.
Because there is a huge threat at all times, the long pass stunt is like a time bomb, which tightly restrains a safety guard from guarding the backfield. This also makes the Seahawks' defense in the first half stretched and unable to complete. Effective coverage; and Lu Ke's precise defensive reading and early prediction gave him the upper hand, repeatedly tearing apart the defense in the short and medium passing areas.
The Seattle Seahawks' defense is really overwhelmed and exhausted.
The San Francisco 49ers played steadily like this. This wave of offense never faced a crisis in the third gear. At most, they could get the first offense in two gears. Time and time again, they pushed past halftime in the blink of an eye and entered the red zone in an orderly manner. , handed the football to Marcus at the last critical moment.
The presence of two tight ends was a huge weapon in the red zone. The two cornerbacks and the two outside linebackers did not dare to take it lightly. As a result, they lost sight of one thing and fell behind by half a beat. When they realized that the San Francisco 49ers chose to run. When the ball was attacked, the defensive team's defense was obviously at a disadvantage. Finally, Marcus knocked away the defensive outside linebacker, avoided the defensive tackle's tackle, and reached the end zone.
It was a four-yard rushing touchdown.
After all, the course of the game has changed. The sixteenth week of the regular season is not the first week of the regular season after all. The cloud of fate that continues to hang over our heads of "making the same mistakes again" has finally dissipated. But the problem is that the home fans seem to be happy too. Without getting up, there was no way to celebrate, so the scene suddenly became weird——
In the first half of the game, the San Francisco 49ers showed a fiery offensive state and easily scored three touchdowns. Lu Ke scored points every time he appeared on the court. In the blink of an eye, the score gap between the two teams had widened. Open, then, the pressure on the Seattle Seahawks offensive team to chase points will become even more terrifying!
After exhaling a long breath, the twelve people cheered up again, booed the visiting team, and welcomed the home team with applause. Their confidence did not seem to be affected too much. Even if they were eleven points behind, they He still raised his head high, showing his determination to defeat his opponent.
This confidence is definitely not groundless.
The Seahawks' offense has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes this season. Before the ninth week of the regular season, they averaged only 12.3 points per game. In the second week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they also suffered a humiliating defeat with a clean sheet on the road. The final record was only two wins and six losses - including a week's offseason.
After the tenth week of the regular season, their average points per game was 27. In the last three games, they scored more than 30 points in a row and achieved a record of five wins and one loss, including a key victory over the Baltimore Ravens at home. Back in contention for the playoffs.
Although it is a bit strange to say this, after all, their quarterback is Travis Jackson, but this is the fact. It is not the defense team, but the offense team that allows the Seahawks to regain their competitiveness!
Moreover, Travis also gave the best passing performance of his career. Now the passing yards have exceeded 2,700 yards. By the end of the season, exceeding 3,000 yards should not be a problem.
Therefore, the Century Chain Stadium cheered and shouted again, trying its best to wave the flag for the home team.
But it is a pity that in the face of the strong defense of the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks' offense that has performed extremely well in the past three games seems to be unable to open up the situation. Except for Marshawn Lynch, the success rate of the entire offense is intermittent. Unable to keep the flow flowing, their entire offense stuttered.
After pushing through the half again, they struck out again, but still got a 48-yard free kick opportunity. Kicker Steven-Hauschka made it in one stroke, rewriting the score to "13:21".
Although it was just a free kick, the Seattle Seahawks still clung to the score and did not fall behind. This had already made the home fans crazy. The cheers and screams were overwhelming and seemed to be heading towards the San Francisco 49ers. roar:
Did you see it? We did not surrender! We didn't give up easily! The outcome of this game is yet to be determined! Not only did we not lose, but our goal is still to win! Did you see it? We will sound the horn of counterattack! Everything is possible!
Once again, the Century Chain Stadium showed unparalleled strength, strongly declaring the power of the league's devil's home court. The home team's morale was greatly boosted, while the visiting team was panicked.
Faced with such a situation, how did season MVP candidate Lu Ke respond?
A long pass.
