After an abnormal first half, the game finally returned to the expected track and once again evolved into a high-scoring battle. The final score was "45:28". The two fourth-quarter players of both teams The shooting guard contributed eight passing touchdowns and two running touchdowns, taking the offensive philosophy to its extreme. The back-and-forth offense was really dazzling and exciting.
The only regret is that Matthew Stafford's performance was stable throughout the game, but lacked the vitality at critical moments. Entering the fourth quarter, the Detroit Lions were completely unable to keep up with the rhythm. After being instantly opened up, Stafford's performance was not able to show his explosive power in time, and in the end he could only watch helplessly as the more experienced Drew Brees killed everyone and swept away thousands of troops.
The difference in the final score was even greater than imagined.
The first game of the 2011 playoffs ended with the victory of the New Orleans Saints! At the same time, this also means that the San Francisco 49ers' divisional opponent is officially born.
According to the rules, the NFL playoffs are divided into: the first round of wild card games, the second round of divisional games, the third round of conference championship games; finally, the two conference champions meet in the Super Bowl.
The matchups for the second round of the divisional round are as follows:
Among the two winning teams in the first wild card round, the one with the lower seed will face the No. 1 seed; the one with the higher seed will face the No. 2 seed.
To put it simply, if the sixth-seeded Detroit Lions win the first wild-card game, they will play the first-seeded Green Bay Packers, and the winner of the other wild-card game will play the second-seeded San Francisco 49 people.
The current reality is another. As the third seed, after the New Orleans Saints win, they have already determined that they will face the second seed San Francisco 49ers; in another game, the fourth seed New York Giants and the fifth seed The winner between the No. 1 seed Atlanta Falcons will face the No. 1 seed Green Bay Packers.
The winners of these two games will then advance to the conference finals to compete for the National League championship and gain tickets to the Super Bowl.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, everyone in the room looked thoughtful. Compared to the New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons, the New Orleans Saints are undoubtedly more dangerous and more difficult to deal with. The opponent will be a more severe test for the San Francisco 49ers' defensive and offensive teams.
Especially Drew Brees. The reason why there are only four elite quarterbacks is because they are the top ones.
But Logan's first reaction was to jump up high, wave his fists heavily, and cheer excitedly, "Wow, finally! Finally we can play against the Saints! Battle against each other! Battle against each other! Bambi, Bambi, it’s your turn to shine! Let them see how powerful we are!”
Obviously, the anticipation for the game took over.
This is the essence of competitive sports. We look forward to a strong showdown and a challenge to a strong enemy. The stronger the enemy, the more intense the passion! If you start to be timid and fearful, it will be the first step towards failure!
It wasn't until Julia reminded that Logan realized that the victory of the Saints also meant the loss of "Team Logan"; more importantly, in every bet on detailed options, "Team Logan" was also in a At a disadvantage, during today's game, Lu Ke had an amazing intuition for judging the direction of the game, as if...as if he was in control of the overall situation.
Although it is clear to all observers, Lu Ke's performance was still extremely amazing.
"Bambi, after you retire, maybe you can become an excellent top guest commentator. God, you are simply a prophet, always able to predict their next move. How did you do it? Don't tell me, all It all comes from the playbook!" This was the sigh from Austin, and everyone else also expressed their agreement.
Lu Ke answered candidly, "Since the beginning of the season, I have been studying the game videos of the four elite quarterbacks, including Brees's."
Prediction and interpretation come from the quarterback's sense of smell and understanding. After the tactical awareness broke the perfect score barrier, its effectiveness has been verified again, but more comes from experience. In fact, Lu Ke's judgment is no longer accurate. After all, he still lacks game experience, but in front of a group of non-professional fans, Lu Ke can still be called the king.
"Team Logan" lost and "Team Lu Ke" won.
So, Lu Ke gathered his supporters and discussed the punishment plan.
Seeing the pride and excitement blooming in their eyes, Logan shouted that he had been fooled, "That was our idea just now! Hey, how could this be possible? Do you know about intellectual property rights?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Ke turned around and said with a smile on his face, "Or are you more inclined to use my ideas?"
This sentence made Logan couldn't help but touch his neck and shut his mouth, but he still said unwillingly, "Bambi, don't be so cruel. Next week, we have to play against the Saints, and you definitely want me to stay well." In shape, right? The Saints, that's a tough team, we have to give it our all!"
"Yes, I know, of course I know." Lu Ke nodded repeatedly, "otherwise, why do you think I used your idea instead of mine? Alas, it's a pity, I originally wanted to add chili oil, Not the kind from a Mexican restaurant, but from Sichuan, China, and the chrysanthemums are guaranteed to bloom, but... in order to maintain your competitive status, I can only reluctantly part ways with you, what do you think?"
Logan looked disheveled and gritted his teeth viciously, "You're so cruel!"
…
A few minutes later, the bucket punishment officially began. Everyone started cheering and cheering for the punished. The whole room was filled with uniform shouts:
"Saints! Saints! Saints!"
The thunder shook the sky, and it was vast and turbulent. After a brief hesitation and panic, everyone calmed down. Now that the opponent has been determined, timidity and retreat will not help, and will only speed up the team's early elimination process; then it is better to fight hard and do everything possible. Fight with all your strength to the end, strive for victory with all your strength, and fight for the next one.
Then, everyone united and started roaring together, challenging the saints! Although the 49ers are the second seed and the Saints are the third seed, it is clear to everyone that the 49ers are the challenger. The young and energetic 49ers are heading towards their first playoff game in eight years. Attack!
"saint!"
The shouts began to spread out little by little along the house, and finally the whole block began to roar. At this moment, the San Francisco 49ers blew the horn of attack with courage!
…
Looking at the team statistics for the 2011 season, the National League has undoubtedly burst out with incredible energy this season: among the top five offensive teams, four teams are here; among the top five quarterback ratings, three have four points. The guards gathered here. The collision of any two teams is bound to be a spark of excitement.
Now, the first focus showdown is born——
San Francisco 49ers VS New Orleans Saints!
Lu Ke VS Drew Brees!
The third-best offense in the league VS the second-best offense in the league!
Third in quarterback rating vs. second in quarterback rating!
The No. 1 rookie quarterback VS one of the elite quarterbacks!
Needless to say, this game is enough to ignite all the focus. Especially the last point, every season, the replacement of old and new players is bound to be the focus of the entire league, because only the rise of the new generation means that the competitiveness of the entire league can continue for a long time; and only the strength of the veterans, history Only then can we continue to create and continue.
In fact, the entire league is looking forward to the New Orleans Saints defeating the Detroit Lions, because in this case, this duel between the old and new quarterbacks will officially begin. Judging from the ratings expectations and topic discussion, this Undoubtedly the best choice.
As for another game, if the New York Giants defeat the Atlanta Falcons, it will be Eli Manning versus Aaron Rodgers, which is also the best ratings point. Of course, the league is looking forward to such a matchup, and it also depends on whether the Falcons agree - obviously, they will never surrender easily.
Similarly, the league must have its own expectations for the American League's playoff matches. However, competitive sports are full of countless surprises, and the direction of expectations and reality is always more or less prone to deviation. Only when all factors come together can a classic showdown that will go down in history break out.
Therefore, many times, the Super Bowl game is not as exciting as the previous three rounds of the playoffs, and may even fall into a dull and boring routine.
After the first game of the National League wild card round, a quarter of the blueprint puzzle conceived by the league had been completed, so the NFL officials responded immediately.
"A showdown at a historical moment!"
The official publicity is very skillful. They avoid the focus of the replacement of the old with the new. Instead, they elaborate and extend the core content of "the Chinese-American quarterback debuts on the playoff stage in January for the first time", emphasizing this game. The playoffs are important and special.
Then he further stated that Drew Brees, as the league's top quarterback, as the opponent of this game, undoubtedly adds to the drama. This is a perfect matchup and a perfect confrontation.
"No matter what the result is, this will be a matchup that will go down in history. What's more, the two quarterbacks with the best performance in the regular season are about to start a real battle. What can be more exciting than this? ?"
At the same time, the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers also received official instructions and expressed their positions on their official Twitter and Facebook respectively.
"The journey has just begun, and the pace never stops." This is the official declaration from the Saints, and it is paired with Drew Brees' No. 9 jersey stained with sweat and dirt.
"We are the 49ers! We are fighters! Keep-Fighting!" This is the official declaration from the San Francisco 49ers. The picture is of the vast red sea at Candlestick Stadium, with a small figure standing in the center. The figure raised his right hand high and clenched it into a fist, with blue veins roaring.
That thin figure is clearly No. 14!
Amid the turbulent waves, a powerful force powerful enough to shake the earth exploded from the depths of the soul!
