(Girls Literature) Jim Hubble is crazy.
Or, to be more precise, Jim Harper is deliberately provoking the Detroit Lions' self-esteem and pride.
With nine seconds left in the first quarter and the home team leading 14:0, Hubble chose a free kick instead of punting when faced with a 46-yard fourth position. An inexplicable tactic that completely failed to take the opponent seriously. The provocative and playful meaning was too obvious.
Regardless of the outcome, the Detroit Lions will feel utter humiliation.
Everyone thought it was a hoax, even San Francisco 49ers fans. Harbaugh obviously had fun and didn't seem to worry at all. After the free kick failed, the Detroit Lions offensive team directly launched an attack at the 46-yard line; lacking the windy environment of Denver, they wanted to tie the record in the Bay Area. With a long record of free kicks, this is almost an impossible task——
Denver's Mile Plateau aside, only Tom Depsy in history has accomplished such a feat in 1970 in New Orleans.
But anyway, the San Francisco 49ers now have a huge advantage, and the defensive team is also in good shape. There is no harm in trying it. It is more like "Tom and Jerry", teasing and toying with the opponent.
The 150,000 fans inside and outside Candlestick Stadium thought so, but they didn't mind at all. Instead, they stood up collectively and cheered for the special team led by David Akins.
"Free kick (Field-Gold)! Bang bang! Free kick! Bang bang! Free kick! Bang bang!"
Candice stood up! Curry stood up! Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning stood up! All the fans and spectators in the audience stood up without exception, cheering for support in two syllables in a uniform manner, coupled with the sound of beating the rhythm with both hands, cheering the team with overwhelming momentum.
But for the special team, they were not joking at all.
Second backup quarterback Scott Tolsin once again appeared as a supporter. Kicker David Akins walked onto the field, bent down and grabbed a few grass clippings, testing them carefully. Depending on the wind direction and speed, he meticulously began to prepare for the free kick, as if it was just an ordinary kick.
Under the full attention of the audience, Akins stood in a familiar position, waiting for the referee's kick-off whistle, and then saw the football flying steadily over, and Scott caught the football accurately. With dexterous hands, he placed the football accurately on the grass and stood it upright.
Run-up, kick-off, kick.
Akens straightened his calf, and poured all his strength into the instant burst of muscles. Then all the eyes of the world were focused on the high-flying football, spinning rapidly and flying wantonly. A thrilling rainbow arc was drawn, leaving a lazy and lovely plane cloud on the crystal clear blue sky, and then it swayed and quickly fell towards the goal.
Closer, closer!
The football rolled upside down, then brushed against the threshold at the bottom of the goal, and rolled in almost again and again.
Free kick, successful goal!
"Wow!"
The entire audience was completely dumbfounded, and then the next moment, consciousness returned to the body, excitement and excitement surged in the blood, and collectively, carnival!
"Incredible! Incredible! Incredible!"
"David Akins, a thirty-eight-year-old veteran kicker, had another highlight moment at the end of his career. He tied the record for the longest free kick in history, sixty-three yards, a full sixty Three yards of free kick and he did it! God, oh God! David Akins made history! He became the fourth kicker in history to accomplish such a feat!"
"Unstoppable! Today's San Francisco 49ers are absolutely unstoppable!"
Following last week, the San Francisco 49ers special teams team once again showed off its power! Shine the entire league with his astonishing performance!
"17:0", the first quarter of the game officially ended. The San Francisco 49ers, playing at home, dedicated a perfect first quarter and completely dominated the game with undisputed excellence.
Basically, this is the tone of this game.
With a strong offensive team, an excellent defensive team, and a stable special teams team, the San Francisco 49ers performed perfectly in their first home game of the new season.
It wasn't until the middle of the second quarter that the Detroit Lions slowly regained their touch. They still relied on Calvin Johnson. Facing the combination of two defensive players, Calvin used his absolutely tough personal ability to Overpowering the defensive player, he completed a wonderful and extremely difficult alley catch. Carroll Rogers was forced to foul and failed to defend Calvin.
Immediately afterwards, with his body losing balance, Calvin continued to push forward unyieldingly. If Dashon Goodson hadn't given up after falling, he continued to chase, and finally barely knocked Calvin out of the sideline, then this would have been It was a long-distance touchdown drive.
Thanks to Dashon's tenacious defense, this wave of offensive touchdowns turned into a free kick - and then the defensive team successfully struck out the opponent, forcing the opponent to face a fourth-and-four-yard situation. The Detroit Lions still He chose a free kick and took the lead in breaking the zero-point deadlock.
Unfortunately, in the confrontation of offensive intensity, the Detroit Lions are far from able to compete with the San Francisco 49ers.
Whenever the Lions offense shows the momentum to chase points, the 49ers offense performs even more strongly, and the morale of the 49ers defense also rises, putting double pressure on the Lions offense and forcing the opponent to score four points. Guard Matthew Stafford had to toughen up and try his best to keep up with the rhythm of the entire offense. The result was——
Mistakes increased.
In the first half alone, Stafford had a total of two interceptions and a fumble, and three turnovers resulted in a transition of the ball.
This is simply because the house leaked and it rained all night, and the offensive team could not stay on the field continuously. This meant that the Detroit Lions lost the weapon of confrontation. Amid the strong cheers at Candlestick Stadium, they were losing ground; At the same time, the initiative of the game was handed over to the opponent's offensive team, and they watched helplessly as the opponent steadily accumulated advantages bit by bit.
Over and over again, it's a vicious cycle.
When the game ended, the final score was fixed at "38:10".
The Detroit Lions only scored one free kick in the first half. In the second half, in the fourth quarter, taking advantage of the slightly reduced strength of the opponent's defensive team, "Megatron" Calvin stepped forward again. Out, a six-yard short pass turned into a fifty-five-yard long-distance touchdown, a complete personal performance.
Other than that, that's all. Last season's majestic offensive team was completely misfired. Except for Calvin, the other players were almost invisible. The offensive line even released three sacks, which made Stafford exhausted and completely disappeared in the torrent of opponents. among.
The San Francisco 49ers scored 24 points in the first half and 14 points in the second half. It can be clearly felt that the offensive team consciously adjusted their state in the second half, not being aggressive, but focusing on controlling the game. Lord, avoid injuries and achieve victory in an easier way.
Especially Lu Ke's performance.
In the entire game, Lu Ke only scored two passing touchdowns, all of which came in the first half, one with Ted Ginn and one with Vernon Davis; and the team's other three touchdowns Then all came from running touchdowns, two from Marcus and one from Gall.
This is Lu Ke's best pass-run balance game since he took over the San Francisco 49ers' main quarterback position.
Although the objective reason is that the Detroit Lions' defensive team is mediocre, ranking only 23rd in the league last season, ranking in the lower reaches; but it is undeniable that Lu Ke's arrangement of tactical layout and training/coaching of the offensive line , is gradually showing its power, and the growth during the offseason is clearly visible.
Among the technical statistics of the game, the performance of the two high-profile quarterbacks, Lu Ke and Stafford, is very different.
Matthew Stafford, 19 of 33 passes, 195 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions, and three sacks, with a quarterback rating of 47.1 and a PFF rating of -1.6.
This was almost the worst game of Stafford's career. The data was completely off the line, and there was no hope of winning at all.
Lu Ke, 24 of 33 passes, 248 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, quarterback rating 114.2, PFF rating 1.4.
It can be seen that Lu Ke performed calmly throughout the game, with no ups and downs or big waves. However, his steady game control and tactical layout led the entire offensive team to play a guaranteed victory, from the first minute to the end. In one minute, the victory of this game was in the hands of the San Francisco 49ers, without giving their opponents any hope.
In other words, the San Francisco 49ers showed the style of a truly strong team!
I still remember that when the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions met for the first time last year, the two undefeated teams clashed, triggering numerous heated discussions. In the end, the 49ers took away an extremely difficult victory on the road; At the end of the last season, the two teams joined hands to enter the playoffs, which triggered a storm among the young quarterbacks and triggered countless discussions.
Now, there is a clear gap and change in the strength comparison between the two teams. From the state to the process, from the confrontation to the momentum, the obvious gap is shown in all aspects; and, everything is reflected in the entire game. On top of the final score after the end——
"38:10".
The San Francisco 49ers successfully defeated their opponents without spending much effort, won a hearty victory in front of 150,000 fans at home, and started the new season with two consecutive victories.
But the question is, what happened this offseason?
When two identical opponents met again, why did they present completely different results in all aspects?
Is it just because the positions of home and away games have changed?
