After returning to the court, Lu Ke's mind was extremely clear, and the layout of the entire stadium gradually became clear in a three-dimensional manner.
Lu Ke deliberately cleared out the players on the left wing and deployed heavy troops on the right wing. This was all for a reason.
Lu Ke chose to gather a large number of players on the right wing, and the Green Bay Packers had to defend, at least protect. This is an aboveboard conspiracy. If the Packers let it go, Lu Ke would not mind going with the flow, looking for gaps on the right side and completing the pass. He would force the opponent's defensive team to deploy troops and make more changes to the right wing. Much protection.
As a result, an outside linebacker, an inside linebacker, a cornerback, and two safeties all focus on the right side, but what about the left side?
That leaves one outside linebacker, one inside linebacker and one cornerback on the left side.
This situation was precisely created intentionally by Lu Ke. On the one hand, the San Francisco 49ers have only one wide receiver left on the left side, Crabtree; on the other hand, Matthews is undoubtedly the most trustworthy link in the first-line defense.
With such an in and out, the defense on the left side is bound to be more targeted, with Matthews attacking the quarterback, while the inside linebacker near the left allocates more energy to defending the running ball.
After the official kickoff, Lu Ke also made a move to pretend that Marcus was running the ball. It didn't matter even if he was seen through. The purpose was to further pin the inside linebacker to his original position.
As a result, Crabtree and Shields on the left truly formed a one-on-one, one-on-one without any interruption. From height to weight, Crabtree has a complete matchup advantage. As long as he can get his position in advance, Crabtree is the most stable receiving point.
Of course, all this presupposes that Matthews cannot complete a sack or charge. Lu Ke did not forget Matthews.
…
"attack!"
After the kick-off was announced, Lu Ke methodically completed a fake handoff, then returned to his position, and began to retreat steadily. However, his peripheral vision abnormally kept scanning to the left. He immediately saw something like a tiger. Matthews, who was going down the mountain, suddenly snapped his fingers in his mind:
Success!
Matthews is a defensive player with a strong awareness of breakouts and tackles, and his offensive firepower is extremely fierce. As long as he finds a chance, he will use his ability to continuously exert pressure on the opponent's quarterback, and will never Let the quarterback stand comfortably in the pocket and complete the pass.
But now, Lu Ke had made preparations in advance, deliberately and unintentionally, and his pace was completely tense, without slacking off at all.
First, after polishing during the offseason, Lu Ke's running ability with the ball has reached 81 points, his dodge ability has also reached 63 points, and his pushing and blocking ability has reached 71 points. This means that, He is no longer a lamb to be slaughtered; secondly, as long as there is any sign of crisis, Lu Ke will use "absolute pace" immediately and decisively. This is his greatest reliance.
So, this is a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.
It can be regarded as a refined version of the screen short passing tactic, using Lu Ke as the bait to lure Matthews out and win more space for Crabtree to receive the ball and advance.
At this moment, an unexpected surprise appeared: Joe Stanley.
Stanley resisted Matthews' first breakthrough with his strong body, but Matthews was more flexible and Stanley was more clumsy. Seeing that Matthews was about to break through Stanley's blockade, Stanley was half a step ahead. He supported Matthews' shoulders with both hands and pushed back hard. Like an elephant hitting a tree stump, Matthews' center of gravity shifted again.
One second. Two seconds.
Facing the wolf-like Matthews, Stanley actually blocked the opponent for two seconds, and also destroyed the opponent's center of gravity. This was definitely a big surprise. Lu Ke's blind side seemed to have finally found a way to rely on. The protector of the spectrum.
In two seconds, Lu Ke's footsteps have been adjusted smoothly, and there is no need to prepare the special skills to be activated. Xiao Zaibu quickly adjusts his position and angle, and looks at the third time he persists with his peripheral vision. Matthews started, and before the opponent got closer, he made a misaligned step forward, tearing apart the longitudinal axis of each other's centers of gravity, and then...
Raise your hand, draw the bow, adjust, and shoot.
After the football was successfully released, Matthews' figure was about to arrive. He only had time to slap Lu Ke's waist before he could only make an emergency brake and control his body to avoid a rough collision with the quarterback that would result in a yellow flag. It was a foul, but the powerful impact still caused the two people to collide and fall into a heap.
…
After the kick-off, Crabtree immersed himself in sprinting, and his powerful running momentum burst out with an unstoppable momentum. The speed was not fast, but it was unreasonable. The powerful air wave roared past, and in an instant Breaking through Shields' blocking position, five or ten yards, his speed did not increase, but his momentum did not stop.
Shields finally realized something was wrong and quickly tried to get back on defense. However, after losing his defensive position, the size gap between his opponents put him at a complete disadvantage. His footsteps did not take much effort to catch up with Crabbutt. , but he was unable to stop the opponent's continuous breakthrough momentum, let alone interfere with the opponent's running rhythm.
As a cornerback, if he makes one wrong step or another step, Shields' running becomes extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, a bullet pass came through the air. When Shields caught the flight path of the football with his peripheral vision, Crabtree had his hands raised high, ready to catch the ball.
Shields subconsciously stretched out his right hand, trying to destroy the pass, but after reaching out, he realized that the gap was really too big, and there was no way to get close to the passing range. Moreover, the passing arc was slightly higher. It was as if... it was as if he had taken into account the height difference between the two players and consciously avoided Shields' defensive range.
damn it!
Crabtree stretched his arms lightly, touched the rugby with his palm, gave it a slight flick, and then firmly controlled the rugby in his hands without encountering any challenges or facing any collisions. There is no need to adjust his footsteps or speed, he can continue to increase speed, and after completing the ball, he can move forward again.
…
"Wow, wait, wow. Matthews failed to break through the offensive line immediately. The San Francisco 49ers' pocket protection was unexpectedly solid. Lu Ke was observing, Lu Ke was still observing, and Lu Ke made a pass. ! Matthews was too late, Lu Ke had already completed the pass calmly before the opponent got close, as if he had calculated it in advance."
"It's a bullet pass, ten yards... no, fifteen yards. Beautiful, it's a shadow pass over the shoulder! Crabtree jammed his catch position early and didn't give Shields the slightest chance. , completed the catch easily!”
"Crabtree's still pushing! Crabtree! Crabtree!"
"Shields was trying to interfere with Crabtree's running rhythm, but the matchup disadvantage made his defense look less threatening. Shields fouled. In an emergency, Shields fouled and forced The drive was interrupted by pushing Crabtree out of the sideline."
"Beautiful! The San Francisco 49ers offense we are familiar with is back!"
In the studio, Kirk's iconic passionate commentary appeared again, and he couldn't help but applaud Lu Ke; then, after watching the video playback again, the praise couldn't stop.
"This is the Lu Ke I am familiar with. Accurate defensive reading, clever tactical layout, courageous passing selection, accurate passing control, in the seemingly easy but extremely complicated tactical advancement, bit by bit It makes the defense lose its rhythm."
In this pass just now, a fifteen-yard pass found Crabtree, and then Crabtree held the ball again for six yards before being pushed out of the sideline.
At the same time, a yellow flag appeared on the field and Sheldr fouled, but due to the principle of favorable offense, the San Francisco 49ers did not accept the penalty and maintained the result of the previous advancement.
Now, the San Francisco 49ers offense is at the 41-yard line in their own half. More importantly, the head-on confrontation with Matthews resulted in a breakthrough for the first time. After the first time, there must be a second time, and now the situation has finally opened up.
Subsequently, Lu Ke was not in a hurry to improve the offensive rhythm, but the execution of the entire tactics became more and more straightforward. The entire offense was played vigorously and gradually entered the San Francisco 49ers' own offensive rhythm, combining the offensive line and the ball. The players' attention was gathered bit by bit.
First, he ran the ball and handed it to Marcus, who rushed for three yards; then he made a short screen pass, deliberately ignoring Logan who ran out of the gap, and instead chose Gall, who was on the rotation, and Gall was the linebacker. The ball was received after the group, but the rhythm of advancement was still not found. It only advanced five yards and then was tackled and fell to the ground again.
Facing the third gear and two yards, Lu Ke seemed conservative but actually boldly handed the football to Gower for the second time in a row. Gower, whose running rhythm had always been unstable before, successfully opened the way for the offensive line. He found a gap, completed a two-yard advance, and once again got the first attack.
In the blink of an eye, they had successfully pushed through the half and reached the 49-yard line in the opponent's half. The speed and power of the entire offense gradually increased.
Just when everyone thought the offense was about to enter the San Francisco 49ers mode, Lu Ke made an outrageous pass that was not completed; moreover, a yellow flag appeared on the field, pointing to No. 84 Randy Moe of the offensive team. Sri Lanka.
But Moss didn't understand what happened. He rushed towards the referee with an angry face, chattering and cursing and asking what the foul was about. Standing next to him was No. 38 cornerback Taramon Williams. Si did not give in at all, and started to argue tit-for-tat with Moss. The scene became a bit chaotic for a while.
