Teddy Ginn's running style is a bit weird. It's not a blitz, but a positional battle.
He gave up his speed advantage and did not speed up instantly and use absolute acceleration to get rid of his opponents; instead, he roamed in the short and intermediate passing areas like a tight end, constantly changing his running between zone defenses. Moving route, curved pulls, sudden turns and stops, lateral pulls, etc., a series of small step adjustments make the entire running route become erratic.
In the chaos, Gene's light and agile running didn't seem to attract much attention. Logan and Vernon's strong pull had already run out of the gap, not to mention that Crabtree already had it after he started. There was a large gap, and when Lu Ke raised his right hand and passed the ball in the direction of Crabtree, Gene knew that his opportunity had come.
With a gentle step, the burst of calf muscles is instantly released, and the whole person sprints quickly like an arrow leaving the string.
With his seemingly careless running just now, Gene had quietly passed the 30-yard line and was approaching the 25-yard line. After an instant burst, his short-distance sprint within ten yards had reached its peak. And the speed continued to increase, the whistling sound of wind could be heard in the ears, and all the scenery of the entire stadium was completely blurred, leaving only a dazzling red.
A white figure is quickly cutting across the field, sprinting towards the landing point of the football: Roman Harper!
Gene quickly raised his head and glanced at the flight arc of the football with his peripheral vision. He immediately understood it in his mind. The speed increased faster and faster. After crossing the fifteen-yard line, he entered the stage of sprinting with all his strength, as if this was not a four-quarter sprint. It was like a ten-yard dash but a twenty-yard dash. In the blink of an eye, the seemingly thin figure burst out with a sharp force that broke through the air.
…
Harper's speed has increased to the extreme, but due to a misjudgment just now, he tried to defend Crabtree and lost his center of gravity and position. Now he returned to defend again, but he has lost the opportunity.
Seeing that Jean was about to rush out of his control like a roaring high-speed train, his instinct as a top safety guard reacted——
A step, a leap.
Harper swooped over, like a Flying Dutchman, stretching his arms to the extreme, aiming at Gene's thigh, trying to knock Gene's center of gravity away with a bull's thrust, destroying Gene's catching rhythm; But the next moment, Harper's vision blurred, and he could only see a touch of gold soaring lightly above the red sky.
…
Jean could clearly feel that his muscles were burning. The momentum of the extremely fast sprint had formed a strong inertia, and it seemed to be fighting against gravity. The huge force in the pull became extremely clear, and then he caught the white color in the corner of his vision. The figure rushed over forgetfully.
He knew they would collide head on.
At the critical moment, Gene kicked the ground with his right foot. With the help of the heavy inertia and momentum, he jumped up high. The violent wind crackled on his eardrums, and he felt as if he was in a trance. With wings attached, he was flying freely, and then his legs felt a huge thrust, and his center of gravity in the sky was completely out of control.
But with all his concentration, Gene was fixated on the football.
The rapidly rotating rugby ball still remained stable, and the central axis never wavered. The force of the uniform rotation was weakening little by little. Gene stretched out his hands and followed the falling curve of the rugby ball, falling slightly. His hands, and then there was a solid feeling in his hands, and he grabbed the football accurately.
The next second, the whole world was spinning, and the green earth rushed over quickly, like a spark hitting the earth.
There was no time to think now. I could only rely on conditioned reflex instinct to curl up my legs and knees towards my chest, and then my shoulders hit the ground hard. The next moment, the whole body The person was like a curled up hedgehog, rolling forward twice and finally falling heavily to the ground.
Every muscle in his body could feel pain and soreness, but at this moment, Gene had no time to take care of his own situation. He stood up straight away, quickly looking around for the referee, waiting for the verdict, and then the next one, He saw the referee standing next to the end zone, raising his hands high and making a very standard touchdown gesture!
"Ah! Ahhhh! Ahhhh!" Gene slammed the football on the ground, then clenched his hands into fists and roared crazily at the turbulent red sea in front of him. This was a touchdown. ! This is a touchdown from the playoffs! This is Ted Ginn's first career playoff touchdown reception!
The red ocean in the entire Candlestick Stadium boiled, and all the fans in the audience jumped high. No more words were needed. Just a simple roar was enough, and it powerfully lifted all the emotions deep in their hearts. The emotions were expressed heartily: They scored a touchdown!
"Touch! This is a touchdown! There is no doubt that this is a thirty-nine-yard touchdown pass! We are witnessing history, audience friends, we are now witnessing the most important history in the NFL! This is It was the first touchdown pass from Chinese-American quarterback Lu Ke! This was not only the first time in history that an Asian player stood on the stage of the playoffs, it was also the first touchdown pass by an Asian player. Formation!"
"This season, in the first week of the regular season, we have witnessed history. The first pass by a Chinese-American quarterback in the history of the NFL was a 66-yard touchdown pass, which shocked the entire league; now a After the season, we witnessed history again. A Chinese-American quarterback completed a 39-yard touchdown pass on the playoff stage! Incredible, this is really incredible!"
Troy Ball, California residents have long been accustomed to Troy's voice on the radio, accompanying them through every San Francisco 49ers home game. The viewers who were unfortunately absent from the live TV broadcast today all turned on the radio and listened to the unique passionate commentary from Troy.
The explanation that sounded like a machine gun popped out, and in an instant, the whole city was boiling! People can be seen cheering and jumping wildly in the streets and alleys, shouting crazily, "Touchdown! Touchdown!"
…
"It's unimaginable, really unimaginable, that this is actually a rookie player?"
In the studio, Johnston couldn't help but sigh, and then he could see Teddy and Kirk showing understanding smiles, and he couldn't help but laugh too.
"Two runs, two passes, the arrangement and combination of tactics, and the defensive reading and prediction, Lu Ke remained absolutely calm. Not only did he change the offensive tactics twice on the spot, but judging from the last attack just now, the Saints The second-line defense was completely led by the nose, and all five receiving points were left open, which also meant that Lu Ke had an absolute advantage in terms of offensive tactics."
After Johnston expressed his overall view, he couldn't help but marvel again, "Jim Hubble, who is responsible for the tactical arrangement, is undoubtedly the biggest behind-the-scenes hero. He is bold and wise, but Lu Ke, who is standing on the court, has a firm grasp of the situation. Initiative, God, are you sure he's a rookie? Dumb goose, what do you think?"
Siragusa couldn't help but smile and nodded in agreement, "The Saints' defensive team really failed to keep up. The first wave of defensive strategies seemed to have lost its direction. The continuous missed tackles in run defense led to a series of The chain reaction is that you are already in trouble before you even have time to gain a firm foothold.”
"During the defense that lost the touchdown, Ted Ginn was completely open without any defensive players. This was a huge mistake for the Saints' second-line defense. The cornerbacks and There was obviously a problem with the communication between the security guards. The fatal thing is that Lu Ke keenly grasped the loophole and completed the touchdown." Siragusa concluded from the perspective of the defensive team.
After Kirk made a brief analysis, he concluded, "The Saints are a team with distinctive characteristics. The offense is obviously better than the defense. Just now, the defensive team failed to keep up with the rhythm. The problem now is that the offensive team Can you improve your condition quickly and seize the game?"
…
Returning to the game, David Akins, who has always been in top form this season, remained stable after entering the playoffs. After easily scoring the extra point, the score on the field reached "7:0", at home. The San Francisco 49ers took the lead.
Drew Brees once again took the field. The veteran Brees was not affected by the chaos at the beginning. An accidental drop of the ball caused the score to fall behind, but it was still not the end of the world. He seemed unfazed. Not busy, calm and calm, he started to make tactical arrangements in an orderly manner amidst the terrifying harassment from the home fans.
Ten yards from the first gear, Brees pounced on a pass and accurately found Jimmy Graham on the left side of the center.
After Graham, who was suspected of being injured in the first wave of offense, appeared again, his injury was not affected in any way. He pressed his back against CJ Spielman, completed a 12-yard catch, and continued to advance for five minutes. yard, and was tackled to the ground by Carlos Rogers who was on defense in time.
Facing the huge pressure from Candlestick Stadium, Brees showed the top touch of an elite quarterback. After only three minutes and 23 seconds——
"Touch! Touchdown! Under the double-teaming of two defensive players, Jimmy Graham successfully caught the football and completed this 13-yard touchdown pass! The Saints' offensive team also arrived in time The touchdown was completed and the game was back on balance! Graham! Graham once again completed the classic slam dunk celebration and smashed the football into the goal!"
"You score a touchdown and I score a touchdown. Will this game really become a battle of offense as the fans expect?"
