In the unexpected wave of attacks just now, the San Francisco 49ers relied on their dazzling tactical arrangements and accurate predictions. After the high-frequency short passing offense completely raised the rhythm, they forced the New York Giants defensive team to retreat step by step, even if they encountered Despite two accidents, the 49ers' offense still successfully reached the 25-yard line in the opponent's half.
Second gear five yards.
Just now, Crabtree successfully advanced five yards and then fell to the ground, but he still controlled the football, so now the 49ers faced a second-and-five-yard situation.
After the kickoff, the pocket shrank much faster than imagined. Lu Ke had not had time to complete the retreat. The naked eye could see the pressure coming from both sides, but Lu Ke remained unmoved and continued to complete the retreat. After one step, a short pass and a light throw found Logan who was roaming in the six or seven yard area on the right side.
Unfortunately, while Logan was adjusting his steps, cornerback Allen Ross rushed up in time and knocked Logan's center of gravity away. As a result, Lu Ke's pass failed to connect and flew directly out of the sideline.
Pass incomplete.
Not only that, Lu Ke also noticed that the New York Giants' defensive focus has changed. When the safety and linebackers cover the defensive area, their focus is slightly tilted towards Vernon and Logan, although they have not completely lost their original defense. position, but it can be seen that they are strengthening their guard against these two tight ends——
After all, after the two threats of Crabtree and Gene came off the field, the defensive focus became relatively clear.
After the pass just now, besides Rose, two other players also started immediately, forming a circle around Logan in an instant. Even if Rose failed to knock Logan away immediately, the other two players Players were also able to interfere with the pass in time, and Logan was caught in an ambush from all sides.
Faced with such a situation, the best option is to revitalize the two receivers Williams and Swayne.
On the one hand, complex passing tactics can open up the situation only if all four receiving points are activated; on the other hand, a tight end is a tight end after all, and the job of catching the ball still needs to be completed by the outside receiver.
Just like the balance of passing and running, only by opening up all the attack points can the offensive tactics be integrated. Otherwise, it will be like a snake striking at seven inches. After the fatal vital point is pinched, all the weapons will be turned off.
Taking another deep breath, Lu Ke summoned all the members of the attack team and quickly issued attack instructions.
Third gear and five yards.
Before the official kick-off, Lu Ke still did not panic and calmly began to read the defense.
As expected, the New York Giants' defensive formation did not change much, except that the defensive attention of the safety and linebackers shifted more to Vernon and Logan. The position and center of gravity can capture subtle changes. Variety.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ke made a bold on-the-spot adjustment, moving Vernon from the left to the right, turning the two-by-two formation into a multi-line formation; overall, this is still a pistol formation. Only the position of the receiving player has changed. However, due to all the accidents just now, the offensive formation has become slightly weird.
On the right, Vernon, Williams and Logan formed an inverted triangle, with two heavy weapons hoarded on this side.
On the left side, Swain alone supports half of the sky. In addition, Marcus' position is also biased towards the slot outside route on this side.
Immediately afterwards, you can see the changes in the New York Giants defensive team. A safety guard followed Vernon's footsteps and transferred the truth. At the same time, the outside linebacker and defensive end on this side also slightly distanced themselves, closer to Logan's. Position, not only man-to-man defense, but also the focus of defense has changed very obviously.
"attack!"
Lu Ke immediately announced the kick-off, and then quickly retreated with the ball.
You can clearly feel the huge changes in the New York Giants' defensive team. They suddenly gave up raiding and pressing, leaving only three defensive forwards to attack the offensive front. One defensive end followed in Marcus' footsteps. Move, the remaining seven players are all crowded into the short 25-yard passing space in front of them——
More importantly, they did not ignore Swain and sent two players on the left to mark him. One close defender, one waiting for opportunity.
In addition, there is a numerical advantage on the right side. Five defensive players face three receiving players. In addition to one-on-one marking, they can also complete regional defense. The entire area is tightly defended and airtight.
However, Lu Ke seemed to have anticipated such a situation. He adjusted his steps, adjusted his steps, and kept adjusting his steps. Seeing the passage of time began to become obvious, one second, two seconds, three seconds... This is a clean and neat shot, which has never been done before. For Lu Ke, who can't stick to the ball, this is really abnormal.
At this moment, Lu Ke took a quick step forward, and his arm instantly burst out with huge energy. He passed a bullet pass in a flat parabola, accurately aimed at the end zone, and struck a fatal blow!
"kick off!"
"Faced with the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team that had a series of surprises, they showed enough composure and there was no problem with pocket protection. Lu Ke was observing and still observing! In the short passing area, Davis and Newman's cross-running has been pulled out There was a gap, wait, no, the Giants defense quickly blocked the passing window, gathering four players between the two players, and there was no gap in the entire defense!"
"The Giants defensive team is fully prepared and there is no passing target! Lu Ke still cannot find the passing target! But this time the ball was held for a little too long. This is not normal. Lu Ke must play the ball! Otherwise, the impact on the pocket is going to tear it open, which could lead to an unnecessary sack of the quarterback.”
"Pass the ball! Lu Ke completed the pass! This... this is not a rainbow pass, but a bullet pass! The twenty-yard line! The fifteen-yard line! The ten-yard line! Lu Ke directly aimed at the end zone and passed the ball The goal was...wait, wait, when did Kyle Williams appear here? Williams, who had just come on as a substitute, appeared in the passing range!"
"Wow, the No. 10 player of the 49ers sprinted straight to the edge. Williams completely exploded his speed. The safety guard Deon Grant who was marking one-on-one seemed a little hesitant, not sure, just... Just half a beat later, the distance between the two people has been widened."
"Williams! Williams quickly cut inside, ran a small diagonal parabola, and successfully cut into the front of the end zone. He was adjusting his small steps and getting ready to catch the ball! The football has arrived!"
"Beautiful! This long pass connection is so beautiful! Williams jumped slightly and completed the ball accurately. Just when everyone's attention was focused on Davis and Newman, Lu Ke He had a chemical reaction with his No. 10 wide receiver, and with a wonderful tactical design, he completed a long pass of 25 yards!"
"Wait, God! Oh, God! God!"
"Flop! Williams dropped the ball! Without any collision from the defensive players, Williams was unable to control the football. What happened? Is it because the power of the pass is too great? Or is it simply Butter hands? The football escaped from Williams' hands and fell to the ground! God!"
"Grant! Deon Grant successfully grabbed the dropped ball. Williams was trying to make up for his mistake. He immediately rushed forward and tried to recover the dropped ball! Players from both sides also rushed over immediately. Now it's already Crowds started to pile up, and now our field of view and the referee’s field of view are all blocked. Who grabbed the dropped ball?"
"Unexpected, this is really unexpected. In the face of continuous player injuries, the young offensive team of the San Francisco 49ers did not mess up their position. The beautiful tactical design can still continue to advance, and the touchdown seems to be at hand. Now But such an unexpected situation occurred again. If this is really a drop goal, then it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the home team.”
The entire Candlestick Stadium fell silent. Everyone clasped their fingers and prayed silently. Now they no longer ask for a touchdown. They just hope that Kyle Williams can make up for it and get the ball back. This is the most important thing.
There was a mess in the end zone. The referees spent a lot of effort to dissuade the players from both sides one by one. It was like digging for treasure, and finally found the two players at the bottom, and then they You can see Grant of the Giants raising the football in his hand high, showing off his trophy proudly.
Transition of possession.
After Williams accidentally dropped the ball, Grant successfully controlled the ball and gave the New York Giants possession. Because this was a transfer of possession in the end zone, it was equivalent to a kickback. The Giants started attacking directly from above their own twenty-yard line.
Williams stood there with his hands on his waist, looking lonely and unwilling, not knowing how to deal with such a situation.
The touchdown was already on his fingertips, but the cooked duck just flew away.
In an instant, it was like losing the whole world.
Lu Ke noticed Williams' loss and the loss of other teammates. A panicked and depressed atmosphere was slowly spreading, even permeating the stadium.
In fact, Lu Ke himself was a little dazed. The breath he gritted his teeth seemed to be suddenly deflated. Unprepared, the focus of his vision began to blur. But... now is not the time to wallow in frustration, they must cheer up, and he must be the leader who inspires everyone to cheer up.
Taking another deep breath, Lu Ke quickly walked towards Williams and gave him a hug, "Man, the game is not over yet. We are still in the lead and we still have a chance, so take your attention back. Mistakes are also part of the game! Now all we need to do is look forward, okay?"
"But what if this turnover leads to a touchdown?" Williams was still a little distracted.
"Then, let's score another touchdown! In order to achieve this goal, I need my wide receiver! I need you to refocus! I need you to cheer up again!" Lu Ke said seriously, "Why? Can you do this?"
Williams took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and finally regained focus.
