"14:28".
There were six touchdowns in the first half alone. It was another offensive battle and an anxious duel. Every confrontation between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants seemed to be like this, always bursting out. The unique spark ignites the enthusiasm of all audiences and triggers an adrenaline carnival.
Today is no exception.
It can't be said to be a surprise, but it can't be said to be unsurprising. The New York Giants had the upper hand and entered the halftime break with a two-touchdown lead; and the San Francisco 49ers' offense was far from what it had been in the past five weeks. The momentum of the attack flowed smoothly and unstoppably over time, and the state of the entire confrontation was really disappointing.
Sun Tongfei was slightly stunned.
The game was indeed very exciting. It was so tight throughout that he almost forgot to breathe. It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half that he realized that he had been clenching his fists because he was using too much force. My muscles started to feel sore, as if I had just finished an hour of high-intensity training.
But the San Francisco 49ers were lagging behind. A mixture of nervousness and disappointment, a mixture of anxiety and worry, rose and fell in their chests, like fire cooking oil, and the crackling sound put the whole person in a state of agitation. In an anxious and violent state, he feels restless and at a loss as to what to do.
What should I do now? Can Bambi turn the game around? How exactly are they supposed to pick apart the defense? He couldn't see any loopholes at all. He usually used extremely smooth tactics while sitting in front of the TV, one after another, but now sitting in the Candlestick Stadium, his brain couldn't work at all, and he had no idea what to do. Turn the situation around. If...if we lose...
Although victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs, Sun Tongfei could not help but feel worried and did not dare to continue thinking about it. He even thought: Did his arrival bring bad luck that put the San Francisco 49ers into such a bad situation? So, if he turns around and leaves now, can the San Francisco 49ers win this game?
Sun Tongfei had difficulty breathing.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the surrounding situation, but his vision was full of confusion, and he could not focus on the focus. He just stared blankly at the vast red ocean in front of him. Even he himself did not know what he was looking for. Until he heard a series of shouts in his ears, all his mind slowly focused.
"There are nine of us!"
"We are warriors!"
"There are nine of us!"
"We are warriors!"
The shouts were surging one after another, and the 70,000 fans in the audience shouted in unison, venting all their passion and excitement hoarsely.
No frustration, no confusion, no confusion, no hesitation, not even complaints. Despite the difficulties faced in the first half, the home fans were not moved at all and immediately expressed their determination with practical actions:
They still have faith in victory!
Unable to help himself, Sun Tongfei also raised his arms and shouted, joining the ranks of all the fans in the stadium. The whispers began to rise little by little, and finally evolved into roars, and all the energy in his body burst out heartily. Every time he shouted, he was venting the mixed emotions deep in his heart, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth slowly rose along with it.
"There are nine of us!"
"We are warriors!"
Sun Tongfei also laughed wantonly, truly becoming a member of the Candlestick Stadium, truly feeling the meaning of the term "49ers", truly experiencing the excitement of the game atmosphere...the blood was boiling in his ears. The sound, before the brain could react, the shout blurted out:
"Bambi!"
This is a start. Gradually, gradually, the shouts swept through the entire stadium like a tornado, resounding mightily, and the entire Candlestick Stadium could feel the sound of thunder.
…
Standing at the exit of the players' tunnel, Lu Ke could clearly hear the unanimous cheers of the audience, hitting his eardrums like drumsticks, surging wave after wave of shock in the depths of his mind. Everyone was shocked. The quarterback is expected to be able to turn the tide. As the position that attracts the most attention of the entire team, it also carries the greatest pressure in times of crisis.
As the protagonist, Lu Ke was not too nervous and relaxed his limbs slightly to prepare for the second half of the game.
There was no anxiety or urgency. Lu Ke looked very relaxed. If he had heard Kirk and Teddy's analysis during the intermission just now, he would have nodded in agreement.
In the first half of the game, the strength comparison between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants was far less exaggerated than the score difference showed. To sum up, Lu Ke concluded that they just lacked a little bit of luck, both the defensive team and the offensive team.
In his impression, at least twice, the defensive team's third-level defense was just a hair's breadth away. It was not a mistake in defensive positioning, but just a lack of luck in the process of adjusting the center of gravity, which led to a pass. This created a great opportunity for the opponent. In addition to bringing about a successful third-speed transition, he continued the offense.
The missed interception was even more so.
The offensive team is no exception. The five butter hands are undoubtedly fatal injuries and seriously damage the overall offensive rhythm. The stagnation of the passing attack also brings more difficulties to running the ball, which also affects the tactical layout and execution choices. But obviously, the butter hand is a mistake that every player should avoid as much as possible, and the person involved in the mistake is also extremely upset.
In fact, Lu Ke was in really good condition today, and the value displayed by the system was a full 86%; moreover, as the game progressed, the value improved slightly, and although it fell back immediately, the overall performance was stable. And the outstanding level of performance——
Despite encountering five buttermen, Lu Ke still completed two passing touchdowns in the first half, which is the best proof.
Relatively speaking, the state of the players receiving the ball today has always been mediocre.
Crabtree's competitive state was really sluggish. He was targeted for passes five times, blocked twice, and was blocked by defensive players twice. In the end, he only advanced 13 yards, lacking the firepower of the left-wing wide receiver. Support, this is fatal for the San Francisco 49ers.
The state of Jean, Vernon and Williams cannot be considered bad, but they cannot be said to be outstanding. They can only be said to be average. Everyone made some mistakes in judgment to a greater or lesser extent. Lu Ke could only disperse the passing targets. Come, use different routes and rhythms to open things up.
It was Logan who really relied on the entire first half.
Logan's condition is relatively outstanding, and he has become the main receiving target, but Logan also has an unnecessary butter hand, mainly from the concentrated suppression of defensive forces, which puts Logan under tremendous pressure, every time he catches the ball They all had to go all out to seek opportunities amid heavy siege, which also forced Logan to make unnecessary mistakes.
The midfield score was "14:28". It was not so much the New York Giants' extraordinary performance as it was the San Francisco 49ers' slight weakness.
So far in the regular season, the team has won five consecutive games, and every victory has been full-scale on both offense and defense. The good state has lasted for more than a month, and both energy and physical strength have reached a critical point. Just like the physical extreme in a marathon, this is an inevitable result.
Although it is said that after the test of many tough games last season, the team's state did not directly fall apart and plummet. It was very rare to be able to cling to the game in the first half without being completely opened up; but it is inevitable. However, the team still needs some adjustment time.
Of course, the New York Giants still retain their strength, which is also an important reason.
As the defending champions, they experienced some drastic personnel changes during the offseason. A total of 26 players entered the free market, eight of whom successfully re-signed; in addition, they also used the draft to adjust the final five players. With the thirteen-man roster, the focus of filling in the gaps is entirely on the offensive team——
Six of the seven rookies are on the offensive staff, and only one seventh-round pick is a defensive tackle.
In the first half of the game, the performance of the New York Giants offense was commendable.
The score difference between the two teams is now only two touchdowns, which is still within the range that can be caught up and reversed. At least it is much better than the situation in Lu Ke's first NCAA game; at the same time, the game time is still enough. ,Everything is possible.
Lu Ke knew that after entering the second half of the game, the offensive and defensive teams still needed to adjust their status and increase the rhythm and intensity in a timely manner. Otherwise, the gap between the two touchdowns would be an insurmountable chasm; but now, they do not need to be nervous or panic. , strengthen your confidence, move forward at your own pace, and victory is still at your fingertips.
The referee blew the whistle to officially start the second half, and the New York Giants took the lead in attacking.
But four minutes and fifty-six seconds later, the home fans still let out a sigh of regret, because the New York Giants offense once again completed a touchdown, and it was running back David Wilson. This rookie player was the first pick of this year's first round. The 32nd pick, after just a few games, he quickly adapted to the rhythm of the professional game and won applause again and again.
After the wave of offense just now, Wilson successfully broke through the defensive front and completed a five-yard rushing touchdown. Not only did he sound the clarion call for the second half of the offense, but he also opened the score again. Further pushing the San Francisco 49ers to the edge of the abyss of defeat.
"14:35", now the New York Giants have a 21-point advantage.
Sun Tongfei couldn't help but start to sweat on his palms, but this time he didn't panic. He calmed down, joined the audience, and began to shout the same name as much as he wanted, the one that gave them confidence, faith, and The name they believe in, and they long for that name to lead them back to the track of victory and bring the second half of the game into their own rhythm——
"Bambi! Bambi! Bambi!"
