"attack!"
Lu Ke's hands had just felt the touch of the leather of the rugby ball when the thick wall of people in his sight came over like a tsunami. A solid and powerful force rushed over with great force, setting off an unreasonable wave. The powerful momentum can be felt in every pore of the air wave.
This is not a run defense, but a blitz on the quarterback play.
Four defensive forwards and three linebackers worked together to move forward collectively, forming a "seven versus five" numerical advantage. The entire pocket immediately began to curl up like dried squid grilled on the fire. The impact on the side reached a whole new level, and the sharp impact could be felt on the surface of the arm.
But this isn't a running play either, it's a passing play.
Following the air wave, Lu Ke took a quick step back with the rugby ball in hand, one big step, two big steps. One second he was face to face with the human wall and the air wave, and the next second he had opened a small gap. However, the Saints' defensive team was extremely well-prepared for this raid. They completely overwhelmed the offensive line with their numerical advantage. The gap was just opened, and then it was swallowed up again.
However, this is enough for Lu Ke.
When the step back was completed, he stepped heavily on the ground, his center of gravity was firm, and with a twist and a transfer, the power was clearly transferred to the arm, and the right arm was pulled back in a half-moon arc and instantly moved forward. Rush, with a flick of the wrist, the football began to climb upwards, drawing a perfect rainbow arc.
…
"Assault on the quarterback, the Saints defensive team launched the most powerful assault tactic in the entire game. With the numerical advantage, the entire pocket is shrinking rapidly. It is dangerous. Lu Ke is facing danger!"
"Step back! This is not a running ball, Lu Ke is adjusting the step back! This is a tactical deception versus a tactical deception. The 49ers offensive team once again had the upper hand. When both sides made mistakes in judgment, Lu Ke quickly Made the adjustment on the step back and completed the pass before the pocket was completely closed!”
"This is a rainbow pass! The arc of the pass is so beautiful. Because of the backlight, it is impossible to judge the direction of the pass in the upward direction. The four receiving players of the 49ers are all moving quickly. Crabtree A lateral move, pulling towards the right; Logan is moving in the short passing area on the right, and he has already made preparations to catch the ball; Gene, Gene is quickly sprinting towards the deep area!"
"Wait, the direction of the pass is... the left! The left! Not the right! All the Saints' defensive players have moved to the right! Now only Vernon Davis and Malcolm Jenkins form on the left A one-on-one confrontation! This time the pass flew very fast. After passing the midfield, it was forty-five yards, forty yards, thirty-five yards..."
"Davis and Jenkins! This is a one-on-one duel between Davis and Jenkins. Vernon Davis accelerated instantly and got rid of it! Davis used his instantaneous explosive power to get rid of Jenkins' close guard with a step up. Davis made the catch! Beautiful! Davis made the catch! Successful catch!"
"Jenkins was a step slower, but still grabbed Davis in time and pushed Davis out of the sideline!"
"This is so thrilling and exciting! There are no fancy running routes. After the kickoff, Davis completely exploded his running speed, a simple and straightforward straight-line sprint, facing off against Jenkins. On top of that, he took advantage of his body size and almost caught his opponent alive!"
"Vernon Davis, who was in excellent form during today's game, once again proved his value on the field at the critical moment!"
"Wow! What a wonderful pass! Precise arc, precise power, precise position, Vernon Davis didn't even need any foot adjustments while running at high speed, and he successfully completed the ball! Lu Ke's pass is still the most trustworthy link of the 49ers. This is a long pass of about 28 yards. Vernon's successful catch brought the 49ers to the 32-yard line in the Saints' half. above."
"Now that the 49ers are in free kick range, they just need to advance a few more yards to get David Akins into a more secure, safer shooting position, and that's enough to kill the game! Just done The Saints, who had gone ahead by the score, are now facing the dilemma of encountering a decisive victory. This game is really too thrilling and it requires a big heart to bear it!"
Indeed, this was a breathtaking game.
The roar in the Candlestick Stadium has begun to become hoarse. The hoarse shouts and cheers have never stopped, but the violent beating of the heart makes the mouth dry, and the burning lungs seem to be unable to make any sound. The ferocious heat seemed to have burned out all the oxygen in the air, making it impossible to breathe.
The next game process is even more so.
Ten yards in first gear.
Kendall Hunter ran with the ball, and under the tight defense of the opponent's defense, he made a small circle from the right, completed a breakthrough, and rushed four yards.
Six yards on second gear.
Marcus Lynch ran with the ball and found a gap in the middle area. After advancing four yards, he was tackled by two linebackers and was forced to the ground.
Third gear and second code.
At this time, there are still two minutes and eighteen seconds left in the game. The time consumption of running the ball twice in a row is undoubtedly huge. The balance of victory is tilting towards the home team little by little.
At this time, both the New Orleans Saints and the San Francisco 49ers only had two timeout opportunities left in their hands, but the Saints still used one timeout without hesitation, otherwise the 49ers would have consumed the game until the two-minute official timeout was announced. , and then launch a third-gear offense, facing two yards on third-gear. Once the 49ers complete the third-gear conversion, the Saints will have little hope.
After returning from the timeout, the members of the San Francisco 49ers offensive team gathered together, waiting for Lu Ke to arrange the tactics. However, before Lu Ke could complete the tactical arrangements, the referee threw a yellow flag, interrupted the game, announced that twelve members of the offensive team had committed fouls, and fined five players. code.
According to the official game regulations, both teams are only allowed to have eleven players on the court. Once there is one or more players, it is a foul.
This is a major trap for the defense.
In the game, player rotation is very frequent and very normal. Unlike the football game, where the fourth referee must be used to change players, in the rugby game, the players can complete the rotation by themselves, and only need to kick off the ball. , the number of players left on the court is eleven, and that’s it.
But the defense is not the one calling the kickoff, the offense is. If when the offensive team completes the lineup and announces the kickoff, and the players replaced by the defensive team are still slowly leaving the court, or even standing with one foot on the court, this is a twelve-man foul.
In key periods of key games, the offense can often unexpectedly create a twelve-man foul trap and easily recover a five-yard advance. For the defensive team, the only thing that can be done is: rotate players off the field quickly without leaving any tail.
For the offensive team, this is a very rare foul.
Because the initiative to announce the kickoff lies with the offensive team, the standards and rules for determining fouls are slightly different.
After the game whistle blows, when the offensive team begins to gather, the players will form a circle around the quarterback. As long as there are more than 11 players in this circle, the referee will make a decision. Twelve fouls.
Overall, the offensive team still takes the initiative. As long as the players maintain a high degree of concentration and pay attention to the coach's deployment, even if there are twelve people on the field, as long as they do not participate in the business circle, it is not considered a foul. . Therefore, it is not common for 12 people in the offensive team to commit fouls.
However, there were only twelve San Francisco 49ers just now.
Two running backs, Kendall Hunter and Marcus Lynch, both stood in the gathering circle, making twelve people.
Jim Harper stood next to the court, holding his head in annoyance, roaring like Kevin from "Home Alone". Every movement of his body expressed his depression and sadness, and he even put down his tactical board. , raised ten fingers with both hands, expressing his meaning clearly, "Why? Why? Why is this happening! We only have ten people! There are only ten people in our business circle! God! Oh, God! Referee! There are only ten of us!"
But the referee shook his head and signaled that the game whistle had just blown, and there were still twelve people in the gathering circle. Hunter left half a beat too late, which resulted in a foul.
It’s just half a beat difference.
Hunter, who inadvertently made a mistake, was even more depressed and beat his helmet heavily.
Strictly speaking, the misalignment of the front and back half shots was not Hunter's fault, but the rookie running back was still heartbroken. He realized that he might have made the biggest mistake in his career, and left with a look of despair. Stadium, but it doesn't help that it's a completely different story for the San Francisco 49ers.
If the third gear conversion fails this time, then even if Akins kicks a free kick, the Saints can have at least two minutes to reverse the game. For Brees, this is enough, and the 49ers instead will be in a desperate situation; the most perfect situation is that the third gear transition is successful, the 49ers continue to attack, continue to consume time, and then complete a free kick, or go one step further, complete a touchdown, and completely kill the game.
But now, two yards on third gear became seven yards on third gear, and the situation suddenly became precarious. They had already had the advantage, but after a mistake, the 49ers were in dire straits. How could Hubble not be annoyed, and how could Hunter Maybe not depressed?
Seeing that the countdown to kick-off was running out, Hubble shook his head and reluctantly requested a timeout. The tactical layout of the offense this time has become completely different.
Lu Ke returned to the sidelines. Hubble covered his mouth with a tactical board, got close to Lu Ke's ear and began to issue tactical instructions.
