The new season started with five consecutive wins!
Everything is undoubtedly perfect, from the offensive team to the defensive team to the special teams team, from the game state to the locker room atmosphere to the attention of the fans. It is really impeccable to start the new season in such a way.
But Lu Ke was not complacent or complacent, but instead became more and more vigilant. Because of a task, a target task.
“Target mission: Transformation of the strong team’s playing temperament.
Mission statement: Achieving consecutive wins is the best way to maintain the team's status and confidence. The superposition of each victory is the accumulation of quantitative changes in the transformation of a weak team into a strong team. The so-called game temperament and strong team demeanor are in a game. The transformation was completed with another consecutive victory. During the regular season, try to continue the winning streak as much as possible.
Mission requirements: After three consecutive victories, continue to win.
Mission rewards: four consecutive wins, base points +1; five consecutive wins, base points +3; six consecutive wins, base points +6; seven consecutive wins, base points +10... and so on, continuously stacked.
Failure penalty: None. "
This is an extremely familiar task. To be precise, it should be exactly the same task. After defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in the third week of the regular season last season, the target task appeared.
But the problem is that the completion of the task last season was not very good.
Lu Ke's highest record is five consecutive victories. The first wave of three-game winning streak ended with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles; the second wave of five-game winning streak was ended by the Arizona Cardinals, and then they lost to the Baltimore Ravens; the third wave of five-game winning streak ended with the regular season. Playoff wins do not count toward goals.
After defeating the Minnesota Vikings in the third week of the regular season this season, the same goal mission appeared again; and now, after five consecutive victories, they are about to face the New York Giants. Will this become their fatal hurdle?
In the 2011 season, the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants faced off twice: In the tenth week of the regular season, the two sides fought a tangled battle. In the end, the San Francisco 49ers completed a zero-second attack, which was extremely difficult. won; in the conference finals of the playoffs, the two sides once again completed a wonderful offensive battle. In the end, in overtime, the New York Giants had the last laugh.
In other words, the New York Giants can be regarded as a bitter opponent for the San Francisco 49ers. Every matchup is difficult to separate and the outcome is unpredictable.
What's more, it is still a confrontation after five consecutive victories. Whether it is the law of defeat or the pressure of winning streak, the last season has been fulfilled, so what about this season?
As the league said, are the fully upgraded San Francisco 49ers a "seeming" upgrade or a "substantial" upgrade? Can they withstand the test this time? To move from five consecutive victories to six consecutive victories, what is definitely needed is not just a little bit of fitness, but also the confidence to transform into a strong team!
However, for Lu Ke, he does have confidence now and firmly believes that they can win!
Because, with four wins in the past four games, the mission has been completed 100%, and Lu Ke's strength has improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The first is the competition task. In the four games, Lu Ke gained a total of 49 basic points.
The second is the daily tasks. After the game against the Buffalo Bills, Lu Ke successfully gained a basic point.
It was a special mission again, appearing in the third week of the regular season against the Minnesota Vikings——
In that game, at halftime, the score was tied at 10:10. In fact, the San Francisco 49ers faced a certain amount of pressure. The offense in the first half was never able to flow smoothly, which made the offensive team Some were impatient, including Lu Ke, who was also a little anxious——
The hidden attribute "status" also showed that Lu Ke's status that day was only 73%, and it was still fluctuating uncertainly. The entire competitive status was unstable.
After the special mission came out, Lu Ke regained his composure in the second half, played steadily step by step, and used two consecutive waves of speed to throw away his opponent, and finally succeeded in winning.
For others, this seemed to be another simple victory, but for Lu Ke, it was the first shock of the season. After successfully gritting his teeth and persevering, his condition was further improved, and this was what followed. A strong performance that swept the entire army in two consecutive games.
At that time, after the special mission was successfully completed, Lu Ke received a total of three special points, as well as a special skill "Amplification Halo". However, Lu Ke still adhered to his usual route this season, using the point exchange system to exchange three special points into nine basic points to further strengthen his various technical sub-categories.
All in all, in the past four weeks, Lu Ke had completed the stacking of fifty-nine basic points.
Of course, every point-adding work is completed immediately after the end of each game. After accumulating it time and time again, and now reviewing it in summary, you can clearly see that compared with before the regular season kicked off, Lu Ke’s The strength has once again been improved and transformed.
First, the overall quality consumes two points in total.
Mental quality improved from 88 points to 90 points.
Second, each specific sub-item of physical fitness consumes a total of twenty points.
Strength increased from seventy-three points to eighty points.
Explosive power increased from 75 points to 80 points.
Agility, seventy-three points increased to seventy-five points.
Speed increased from seventy-one points to seventy-three points.
Acceleration increased from sixty-six points to seventy points.
Third, each specific sub-item of quarterback skills consumes a total of thirty-seven points.
Throwing power, eighty-three to eighty-five.
Short passing accuracy, 83 to 90 points.
The accuracy of mid-range passes is 83 to 90 points.
Tactical area accuracy, ninety to ninety-five.
Wrist control, ninety to ninety-five.
Fake pass action, eighty to ninety o'clock.
Observe the field of view, ninety-five to ninety-six o'clock.
All fifty-nine basic points are stacked up without reservation. The most intuitive part is obviously from Lu Ke's basic quarterback skills.
All related skills of the passing quarterback are in the 90s, with the only exception being running and passing. The current score for this item is 77 points; however, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line so far this season The performance is good. There is no shortcoming in running and passing at this level for the time being. It is enough, so Lu Ke is not in a hurry to add some improvements.
This also means that after two years of accumulation and polishing, Lu Ke has now truly completed a transformation, not only in terms of tactical awareness and game reading, not only in calmness and decisiveness, but also in all pure technical aspects. On top of that, he has also successfully joined the ranks of outstanding quarterbacks——
The reason why I say excellent rather than top.
Firstly, Lu Ke still has many items that have not been improved to 95 points, which is another threshold; secondly, the scores for left and right perception are still too low; thirdly, the lack of competition experience is undoubtedly The fatal shortcoming is also a key shortcoming that cannot be directly superimposed through the system.
The main reason why Lu Ke did not immediately improve his left and right perception was because of the outstanding performance of the offensive line.
So far this season, Joe Stanley and Mike Rupatti's performance on the blind side has been perfect. Although the opponent's defensive team is not at the top level, it is undeniable that their strict protection still provides Lu Ke with inestimable strength. The sense of security he replaced allowed him to freely launch attacks; at the same time, there was no urgency to improve his perception on both sides.
But in the final analysis, experience and status are the key now.
When top players compete with each other, on-the-spot performance becomes crucial. It is not only a matter of the status of the core players, but also the playing temperament of the leader players, who can unleash their technical abilities without reservation and become the driver of the entire team. The team improves its status and moves toward victory. This is the core meaning of competitive sports team events.
Otherwise, if you have a talent but can't use it, it will be in vain.
Now Lu Ke seems to have reached 90 in all major technical categories, but he is still not a top quarterback.
Just look at some of Lu Ke's past opponents.
In the first week of the regular season, Aaron Rodgers was almost alone and without support, fighting the San Francisco 49ers with full firepower in a normal game, and missed the victory until the last moment.
In last year's divisional round, Drew Brees lacked the help of the defensive team and offensive line, but relying on his own efforts, he almost touched the dawn of victory, just one step away.
In fact, Eli Manning can also be considered in this category. In the playoffs, Manning defeated the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, and New England Patriots in succession. Manning's gambler temperament in killing everyone at critical moments also became a key figure in turning the game around. However, his performance was not stable, and he was completely a nerve knife, just like Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Lu Ke's skills have reached a sufficient level, but his shortcomings in game experience, game temperament and leadership temperament are still areas that need further growth and improvement.
Unfortunately, this is something that the system cannot help with. There is no shortcut or other way. The only way is to slowly accumulate game by game. Fortunately, Lu Ke is still young, and he You can also continue to polish yourself and grow steadily step by step. After all, this is only his second professional season.
Now, everything about the Super Bowl, the playoffs, and even the rivals in the same district are too far away and can be put aside for the time being. Lu Ke needs to concentrate on facing the next opponent.
New York Giants!
He knows that this is not a repeat of the federation finals, because he is different, his teammates are different, and his opponents are different. This is a brand new game; the only thing that is the same is that the ambition to win has never faded. .
He is determined to win this victory!
