Another touchdown.
Teddy and Kirk in the studio have become accustomed to it. Every offense of the San Francisco 49ers today incredibly scored a touchdown. Their excellent state simply made their opponents feel desperate, and this time their opponent was the Seattle Seahawks. .
Marcus Lynch completed a 17-yard rushing touchdown. This was his third personal running touchdown in this game, setting a season high; at the same time, this was also the San Francisco 49ers' first touchdown. The sixth touchdown in the game, interestingly, two passing touchdowns, three running ball touchdowns and an interception return touchdown, this is an atypical San Francisco 49ers.
But for Kirk, this is still the familiar 49ers.
Whether it is an interception return for a touchdown or a running ball for a touchdown, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive model has not changed. Lu Ke has always been the core focus of the entire offense. His tactical layout and passing execution seem to have gradually formed his own His style, the entire offensive system flows smoothly and does whatever he wants——
The exquisite matchup in the short and intermediate passing areas, waiting for the opportunity to assist the long pass sneak attack, completely disrupted the Seahawks' defensive strategy; and then suddenly chose to run the ball, the opponent's defense team was completely overwhelmed, and only one missed man or one misplacement was needed. It is easy to lose a large number of yards to advance the ball, and then further damage the layout of the defensive team.
If I insist on saying something different, it is that Lu Ke was a little more restrained in passing in this game, giving him more opportunities to run the ball. He was basically in a 50-50 situation, and the proportion of passing was only slightly higher. . This also became Marcus Lynch's shining moment.
In the first half of the game, Marshawn Lynch's performance was still sharp enough, but then Marcus Lynch gradually surpassed his cousin and became the most shining player at the Century Chain Stadium in this game!
With Marcus Lynch's touchdown again and David Akins' 100% additional share rate this season, the score on the field reached "13:42" in the blink of an eye, a huge gap. There are as many as twenty-nine points.
If nothing else, the remaining games will enter garbage time early.
But this is the Chain of the Century. The Twelve will not give up, and neither will the Seahawks, because they all know that once they stop here, it means that the entire season's efforts and persistence will be in vain, and the first half of the season will have two wins and six losses. In this period, they managed to catch up to seven wins and seven losses, and gained a glimmer of hope for a wild card in the playoffs. How could they just give up?
Therefore, the Seattle Seahawks offensive team appeared again and cheered up and fought to the end!
It was Marshawn Lynch who stepped forward again. The running back shouldered the hopes of the home fans and turned on beast mode again. He rushed for 48 yards and almost scored a touchdown. Unfortunately, he still failed at the last moment. After exhaustion, he was pressed down by three 49ers defensive players. Despite this, he still successfully brought the home team into the free kick shooting area.
Then the 49ers defensive team suddenly exerted force and successfully completed the third gear of defense, forcing the opponent into a fourth gear and four yard dilemma.
Although there were still five minutes and seven seconds left in the third quarter, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll chose to go all out, force a fourth down, and make it clear that the football would be handed over to Marshawn Lynch. .
Ma Shaun, who was unable to break through the opponent's tight defense in the last push, finally lived up to the cheers of the twelve people and successfully completed the fourth gear transition and reached the red zone. The entire Century Chain Stadium was boiling, and the screams and roars were completely out of control. At this moment, everyone witnessed the birth of the "hero"!
Unfortunately, there is only one hero. When the weight of an entire team and an entire game rests on one player's shoulders, even in beast mode, he falters.
In the red zone defense, there was another strikeout and another fourth down - this time it was fourth down and two yards, and it was Marshawn Lynch again, but the San Francisco 49ers did not repeat the same mistake, and they were on the one yard line in front of the end zone. , pressed Ma Shaun to the ground firmly, and piled up a mountain of people on top of each other, refusing to give an inch.
After the referee's decision, the fourth gear could not be completed!
This is a game on the one-yard line. There is heaven before one yard and hell after one yard. For both sides, this is an area that absolutely cannot retreat. This time, the San Francisco 49ers successfully held on to the fruits of victory, while the Seattle Seahawks, who gave it a try, could only swallow the bitter result, which completely ruined the team's vitality. .
So, Marshawn Lynch went off and Lu Ke came on.
Under the spotlight, Lu Ke, who started the attack at his own one-yard line, did not choose a conservative tactic and handed the football to Marcus Lynch as everyone guessed; instead, he used a cross-position substitution to The pass found Logan, and with Vernon's pick-up, he successfully gained nineteen yards.
Not only did he get the first down, but he also got out of the danger zone of the red zone in one go.
The San Francisco 49ers offense is still in good shape. The next offense, a combination of passing and running, easily pushed through the half, but then Lu Ke's offensive momentum slowed down, and he began to spend more time passing the ball and running the ball through the middle, which also made The Seahawks defense finally found some rhythm.
After entering the free kick area, Lu Ke ushered in his first strikeout of the game.
This was a 41-yard free kick attempt. David Akins scored the free kick steadily. At the same time, the third quarter officially announced the end of the game, and the score was fixed at "13:45".
The third quarter became the watershed of the entire matchup. The Seahawks suffered a zero shutout, while the 49ers scored 17 points, widening the gap to an almost insurmountable level in one breath. Does such a scene remind people of the showdown in the first week of the regular season again? Moreover, the gap is even wider now than it was then!
The gap in status and strength between the two teams is widening step by step.
The last quarter of the game has lost its meaning. With a gap of 32 points, unless the entire San Francisco 49ers convulsed and everyone in the Seattle Seahawks broke out, the possibility of a reversal is slim.
Perhaps, for the Seahawks, this is a fight for a glimmer of survival; but for the 49ers, the game has indeed entered garbage time.
"The latest situation has emerged in the game. San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Lu Ke has been sitting on the sidelines to rest, while backup quarterback Alex Smith is warming up and preparing to appear. What is going on?" First At that time, the on-site director noticed the changes on the sidelines and alerted the studio. Teddy immediately reminded the audience.
On the live broadcast, Lu Ke was sitting on the sidelines, holding a kettle, with a relaxed face. He was talking and laughing with Logan and Marcus. Vernon, who was standing not far behind him, also said a few words loudly, and then everyone around A group of people all laughed together, and the atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious.
Not far away, Alex was doing a simple passing warm-up exercise, and there was nothing unusual about his concentrated expression.
Kirk looked at it carefully and gave his guess, "I think the 49ers are preparing for the playoffs."
This sentence is enough without further explanation.
On the one hand, Lu Ke has just got rid of the trouble of a cold, and his physical strength still needs to be restored slowly. What's more, it is the end of the season, and the opportunity to restore physical strength is even more rare, and it is also possible to prevent injuries; on the other hand, in this game, It has entered garbage time. As a backup quarterback, Alex can find the rhythm and state of the game and prepare for emergencies in the playoffs.
This is a completely reasonable arrangement.
In fact, not only Lu Ke, but also players in other positions have begun to stand up and warm up. Next, the main players will be replaced to allow the starting players to gain time to rest. This is a reasonable arrangement that meets the expectations of a mature professional team.
Kirk's guess was correct.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive and offensive teams began a small rotation of players. They did not replace all players at once. Players in key positions were still retained, but relatively partial rotations were made to ensure that The quality and intensity of the competition will not decline significantly.
This appears to be good news for the Seattle Seahawks.
The offensive group that continued to increase the intensity of the game finally formed a perfect fit and successfully scored the second touchdown of the game, again from Marshawn Lynch. This undoubtedly ignited the raging enthusiasm at Century Chain Stadium, but It was all too late, because the score difference was too big, and because there was not much game time left.
Alex Smith, who made his second appearance this season, once again showed the stability for which he has become famous.
Although he was unable to complete a large advance, his accuracy in short passing and balance between passing and running were still a weapon. More importantly, he was a loyal tactical executor. Jim Hubble was the general manager of tactical arrangements. It can be completed accurately and the error rate can be reduced to a minimum.
Alex, who rushed into the game in the last game, performed poorly and failed to adapt to the rhythm of the game as quickly as possible. At the same time, the Steelers' defense did not relax at all, which indeed increased a lot of difficulty; but in this game, the Seahawks' defense There has never been an effective interception, which also gave Alex more room to play.
In the first wave of attacks, Alex successfully consumed four minutes and thirty-eight seconds of game time and scored a free kick.
In fact, when David Akins kicked another 46-yard free kick, the game was already over, because there was not much time left, even if the Century Chain Stadium was still full of enthusiasm and momentum, even if The Seahawks continued to work hard, but still couldn't change the result.
Soon after, the referee blew the final whistle, ending the sixteenth game of the regular season between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks. The final score was "23:48."
The visiting team wins.
