Sun Tongfei took out his mobile phone, faced the court and the corner of the stands opposite, focused the camera on the back of No. 14, pressed the shutter, and captured the moment when the red light and shadow boiled over the entire stadium. This was his first appearance at an NFL game. As a fan and spectator, with a lofty dream of being able to stand on the field one day in the future, he was full of excitement and impassioned.
Later, Sun Tongfei posted this photo in the group, ignored the ding ding ding messages and the continuous screen prompts, adjusted his phone to silent, and once again joined the cheers of the audience, eagerly looking forward to a wonderful event. It was an unparalleled confrontation, the San Francisco 49ers faced the New York Giants. Just thinking about it, I couldn't suppress the surge of emotions.
At this moment, Sun Tongfei is not the only audience who is looking forward to a wonderful showdown. Everyone in the entire league, including the analysts and commentators "within the league", are looking forward to a sparkling confrontation and looking forward to it. The outcome of this game was unpredictable, recreating the classic of last season's federation finals. Even Teddy and Kirk in the studio expressed their expectations.
If necessary, people can list out the reasons why this game is worth watching. Twenty or thirty are not to mention. The two confrontations between the two teams last season broke everyone's expectations and brought This time, before the game officially started, the discussion on social networks had completely broken out.
But after the first half of the game, people were destined to be disappointed. It was like standing at the entrance of the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland. After all the dreams disappeared, I returned to the entrance of the rabbit hole in an awake state, but I only saw a dark and dirty pit, without any beautiful scenery. In a fantasy world, there is nothing without a life of bizarre adventures.
"Kirk, in your opinion, is the first half an accident? Or is it disappointing?" After Teddy finished a brief summary, he gave the initiative to his partner.
"It's not a surprise. At the same time, it's not a disappointment either."
Kirk's attitude was much more relaxed than expected. He completely lost the depressed demeanor of sighing and shaming during the first half of the game, and responded with a relatively neutral attitude.
"Strictly speaking, the New York Giants are the defending champions. They also showed good form in the first five games of this season. The points difference in the two games they lost was within one touchdown. They are still in the competition this season. Moreover, every confrontation between the New York Giants and the San Francisco 49ers is always filled with countless surprises, and this game so far cannot be regarded as completely unexpected."
Kirk expressed his concluding opinions, and then Teddy immediately gave guidance, "So how did the current situation form? Let us first look at the offensive end of the New York Giants and the defensive end of the San Francisco 49ers. In the past five games, the San Francisco 49ers' defense performed extremely well, but today it failed to show its power in the first half. What is the reason?"
"Personally, I don't think the performance of the San Francisco 49ers' defense was very bad. They just failed to exert corresponding power in one aspect, and that was the quarterback raid strategy.
In this game, the performance of the New York Giants' offensive line was really eye-catching. The offensive line, which has been criticized frequently in the past few weeks, delivered absolute Pro Bowl-level pocket protection today and only allowed one sack in the first half. Killing, which gave Eli Manning enough time to complete observations and passes, is undoubtedly an important reason for the huge gap in the performance of the two teams.
In addition, New York Giants' Pro Bowl running back Ahmed Bradshaw and rookie running back David Wilson were undoubtedly the biggest highlights of the game. The two running backs took turns attacking the opponent's defense. The team's defense team jointly scored 99 yards of running ball in the first half alone, which became the key to setting up the first half battle.
Coupled with the three times that the wide receiver Victor Cruz received the ball with divine assistance in the third gear transition, even if Eli Manning's pass was deviated, he was able to rely on his personal ability to complete the ball strongly. Almost single-handedly turned around three potential strikeouts.
In other words, in the first half of the game, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team still lacked a little bit of luck. If those four third-speed transitions could gain the advantage with just a hair's breadth, then the current situation would be Just completely different.
But it is undeniable that the defensive front and linebackers must improve their rhythm and state to put more pressure on the opponent's offensive team. Otherwise, this game will only become more and more difficult. Eli Manning does not need to risk passing the ball at all. Just use the two running backs Bradshaw and Wilson to take turns to attack, and you can firmly hold the advantage in your hands. "
There was plenty of time during the halftime break, so Kirk's review was also more detailed, giving a comprehensive review of the New York Giants offense and the San Francisco 49ers defense.
Teddy nodded in agreement, "Aldon Smith almost completed that interception, but it was a pity that the football slipped out of his fingertips at the last moment and just caused the pass to be incomplete, otherwise the situation may have been completely different. First half On the field, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team worked very hard, but they did lack a little bit of luck, or in other words, the details of defensive intensity and rhythm were not detailed enough, which led to the current situation."
"So, what about the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team and the New York Giants' defensive team?" Teddy continued his summary analysis of the first half, "So far in the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers have the league's most powerful offensive team, and in the first half today What do you think of the performance on the field?”
"Actually, I think the biggest reason why the midfield score is so disparate is that the offensive team's state is not stable today. In other words, it lacks a little luck." Kirk showed a wry smile. After thinking about it seriously, he still endured it. I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "In the first half alone, the San Francisco 49ers' receivers had their hands full five times, five times!"
In any professional game, low-level mistakes like butter hand must be avoided.
When many teams and coaches evaluate whether a wide receiver is prone to catching the ball or letting it go, this is one of the most important items, and even one of the irreplaceable items. Because the quarterback finally completed the pass with great difficulty, and the wide receiver also successfully opened the gap to complete the ball, but failed to complete the football control, this is definitely a severe blow to the offensive team.
Generally speaking, the league's definition of "easy to catch the ball and lose it" specifically refers to the situation where the defensive player is in a head-on collision and the receiver is unable to complete the control of the football.
In other words, the team's requirement for the wide receiver is: to catch the ball smoothly under impact. So one can imagine how abominable the buttery hand appears without any physical confrontation!
In fact, the presence of butter hands two or three times in a game is enough to make people complain, which is definitely a serious blow to the quarterback's passing efficiency; but in today's game, the San Francisco 49ers had enough There were five butter hands, and this was in the first half, which is absolutely eye-popping.
"Michael Crabtree showed up twice, Ted Ginn showed up once, Vernon Davis showed up once, even Logan Newman showed up once. Butter Hands showed up three times. During the crucial third gear transition, this was a serious blow to Lu Ke's offensive efficiency, and it was also an important reason why the San Francisco 49ers' offense was not able to explode with corresponding power in the first half."
Even if Lu Ke passes the ball more accurately, observes more carefully, and reads more accurately, after completing the pass, if the receiving player has a weak hand, then Lu Ke can only watch the ball and be helpless.
"We can only be thankful now that the five butter hands still did not result in an interception, otherwise the game would have been even more ugly." Kirk still could not hold back the desire to complain, and expressed his dissatisfaction straightforwardly, but , and then changed the subject again, pointing the finger at the running back, who had a more serious problem today.
"Although there were five fouls, the real problems of the San Francisco 49ers offense today still appeared in two parts. First, fouls. They committed eight fouls in the first half and were penalized in total. Sixty yards, which seriously curbed the offensive efficiency; secondly, the running back was inefficient, which also became the fatal injury to lagging behind in the first half.
The advancement efficiency of the three running backs, Marcus Lynch, Frank Gall, and LaMichael James, is really worrying. They ran the ball 17 times in the entire first half, but only advanced 41 times. yards, averaging only 2.4 yards per carry. Oops, this is simply terrible.
What we must note is that the reason why the San Francisco 49ers have been able to deliver such a wonderful offensive performance in the past five weeks is that the balance of passing and running is the most critical part. The excellent performance of running the ball restrained the ground defense and created opportunities for the passing game. More space, which is an integral part of the offense.
But now the running ball is completely misfired. Not only has it not been able to help, but it has also repeatedly put the team into a third-speed long-yardage dilemma. All pressure is concentrated on the passing attack. This is for San Francisco 49 People's offensive efficiency is a serious hindrance.
The reason why I say that the performance of the San Francisco 49ers is not disappointing, and the score is the best proof——
Despite the lack of support for running the ball and despite the appearance of five butter players, Lu Ke still overcame all difficulties and strongly led the team to continue to advance, and did not allow the New York Giants to completely open the score. This is absolutely incredible, and we can already see the offensive style of this team gradually maturing.
The problem now is that this is not enough. If the San Francisco 49ers want to win the game, they must regain their rhythm and form in the second half. The New York Giants will not give up their advantage easily, and the San Francisco 49ers will not give up easily either. This also means that the second half of the game will be very exciting! "
The second half is about to begin, and the score on the field is "14:28". The home team is in front and the visiting team is in behind.
