"Bambi!"
The New York Giants special team has kicked off, and Kyle Williams of the San Francisco 49ers is returning the ball. The other offensive players are paying close attention to the dynamics on the court, jumping in place to cheer for the special team. Lu Ke was no exception. Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder, and then a call could be heard.
Turning his head, Lu Ke saw Randy Moss.
Moss's facial expression was slightly stiff, and his eyes were slightly uncomfortable. The focus of his eyes kept wandering, revealing a sense of uncertainty and unrest. He tried to say something, but couldn't even open his mouth. Kai, after calling Lu Ke, there was nothing more to say.
Lu Ke vaguely guessed some possibilities, but he didn't speak and just waited quietly and patiently.
In the tactical meeting room, he could give Moss a step up; but outside the court, he couldn't. Some things, after all, still require Moss to really speak personally and pierce this layer of window paper.
Moss also realized this. On the court, Williams' return attack had been intercepted. They were about to take the field. There was no time to hesitate. With a bite of his teeth, Moss said, "Bambi, I'm ready." ”
He’s ready to go, he’s ready to fight.
"Are you sure?" Lu Ke did not nod immediately, but asked a question. But this time, Moss did not answer honestly. Instead, he rounded his eyes and met Lu Ke's gaze straightly, faintly revealing There was an anger that seemed to be protesting, "What else do you want to be sure of?"
Normally, Moss could skip Lu Ke and communicate directly with the head coach and ask to play. Even if he did this, Lu Ke could only swallow his anger and Hubble would not blame him; but Moss still chose to talk to Lu Ke. Communicate directly with the team's offensive captain and the team's quarterback.
This small gesture itself is a kind of respect.
Lu Ke didn't push further or say anything more. He turned around, walked to Hubble's side, and whispered a few words. Hubble couldn't help but frowned slightly, and talked back and forth with Lu Ke. Finally, Without much hesitation, he nodded and answered in the affirmative.
Lu Ke slightly nodded his head at Moss, and Moss couldn't wait to jump up slightly, clenched his fists vigorously, cheering for himself, and quickly stood on the spot, trying to fully activate his body.
This is not a casual third-down offensive rotation, but a true debut as the main receiving player. Long time no see, really long time no see.
The reason for agreeing to Moss' appearance is not only because Moss made a change for the first time this week and participated in the offensive team's private tactical meeting; but also because in today's game, the offensive team was indeed not in the best condition. , replacing a wide receiver to change the running route and tactical deployment is also an adjustment.
At this point, Lu Ke and Hubble reached a consensus.
The player Randy Moss replaced was Michael Crabtree, who had a poor overall performance in the first half, and the person responsible for notifying him was wide receivers coach John Morton.
Although this was not an unexpected decision, it was still clearly felt that Crabtree was very dissatisfied. His strong body language expressed his irritability and anger, and he even kicked over the kettle placed aside. Because during the halftime break, Hubble did not make major adjustments. Crabtree was still preparing to revenge himself in the second half, but now he suddenly changed his mind. Naturally, he could not accept it easily.
Lu Ke just glanced quickly with his peripheral vision and caught Crabtree's movements, but without any pause in his steps, he high-fived each other with his special team teammates, quickly ran into the field, and officially unveiled the game. The offensive prelude to the second half.
After Moss officially appeared on the stage, the members of the offensive team were more or less surprised. They cast their eyes towards Lu Ke. After noticing that Lu Ke slightly nodded his head to express his affirmation, they quickly exchanged a glance, and then immediately Completed the array position.
Moss was a little uncomfortable with it. There was a huge difference between the tactics of the first attack and the third attack. Lu Ke's shout immediately rang out, "Nineth position, Randy, nineth position!" This is There is no particular secret to the positioning instructions, they are the same for all positions on every team.
Moss quickly adjusted his position and moved two steps slightly to the inside before completing the formation.
This is a standard formation, two by two, pistol formation, the only special thing is the double tight end strategy.
During the offseason, the San Francisco 49ers selected wide receiver AJ Jenkins with the 30th pick in the first round, mainly because they were worried about Ted Ginn's recovery from injury. Later, Ginn successfully recovered from injury. People once thought that the ball The team's wide receiver lineup is slightly bloated, but now it seems that Jenkins still has not been able to grow as expected, so the double tight end tactic has been used more in the first five weeks.
Moss and Vernon on the left, Logan and Gene on the right.
The entire offensive team did not have much tension or confusion, and still maintained a relatively calm state. The background after continuous hard battles and tough battles last season was still revealed.
"Special mission: winning streak.
Mission statement: Winning streaks can build confidence, but they can also bring pressure, which poses a severe test to energy and physical strength. On the road to a sustained winning streak, the continuous accumulation of ups and downs and setbacks can often create unique results. waves.
Last season, they won five games in a row, but were stopped twice in a row. It seemed like they were trapped in a curse. Can they make a breakthrough this season? Achieve further improvements in the target tasks; more importantly, can you defeat the New York Giants and break the vicious cycle?
Task requirements: Defeat the New York Giants at home and continue the winning streak; defeat quarterback Eli Manning at home with more touchdowns and fewer interceptions.
Mission reward: status improvement aura +1; special points +3; designated special skills +1.
Failure penalty: All rewards from this week’s competition tasks will be cleared. "
During the intermission, a corresponding special task appeared in the system.
Although after last year's experience and lessons, everyone knows that this game is extremely difficult, but after actually entering the game, the ubiquitous influence has penetrated into all aspects of the entire team. Instead, it is the New York Giants who currently have three wins and two losses. He let go of his hands and feet and played a beautiful first half.
As a result, the system sent a further reminder and gave a reason not to lose.
Secretly adjusting his breathing, Lu Ke concentrated all his attention, temporarily leaving behind all the disturbances in the first half and the impending special mission, and devoted all his energy to this wave of attacks. Don't think too much about even the touchdown, but continue to advance step by step.
Facing a three-touchdown deficit, this is a wave of offense that must be completed. At least in the opening stage of the second half, the momentum must be unleashed, and then the state and rhythm must be improved step by step.
Without any hesitation, Lu Ke directly activated the special skill "Amplification Aura": improving the status of all members of the offensive team by 10% for five minutes.
After finishing the action of reading the defense, Lu Ke bent down slowly and was ready to launch the attack. He launched a series of dazzling offensive slogans. The opponent's defensive team remained motionless and was not confused by Lu Ke's fake kick-off slogan. Waiting for that clear and accurate "attack", all the players started instantly like tigers coming out of the gate.
Lu Ke held the ball in both hands and did not step back. He made small steps on the spot and made adjustments. He turned quickly, faced Marcus Lynch, and made a quick handover of the football. He seemed to be preparing to start the game by running the ball, but This is a fake and true biography.
In the first half of the game, the New York Giants' defensive front performed really well. In addition to defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who entered the Pro Bowl last season, veteran defensive end Justin Tower, who has two Pro Bowls, Justin Tuck also showed his vitality and put a lot of pressure on the offensive line.
Although there has been no sacking of the quarterback so far, Lu Ke has been put under huge pressure to complete the pass six times. In addition, he has effectively stopped the running back from advancing at least three times, and San Francisco The 49ers' running backs were stuck behind the offensive line.
At the same time, the coverage space of the New York Giants linebackers is also very flexible, and they consciously target the running backs to launch attacks, whether it is the running backs running in the slot to catch the ball, or the running backs running the ball in their own job, or the short passing area is tight. The tight coverage put the San Francisco 49ers in a situation of great pressure at all times during head-to-head confrontations on the front line.
However, there is still no comparison between the defensive teams of the New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, and Pittsburgh Steelers. Their second-line defense is completely loose. As long as the offensive line can withstand the first wave of impact, Lu Ke can win the passing gap, and The drive was successful and two touchdown passes were completed.
Therefore, Lu Ke needs to make full use of the defensive shortcomings of the New York Giants, open up the situation in his own way, and activate the aura of growth. This is the intention.
The pistol formation's fake run and real pass further used Marcus to attract the movement of the linebackers, thereby gaining space for Lu Ke.
After Marcus made a catch, he quickly turned sideways, steadily lowered his center of gravity, and quickly pulled sideways to the right. Under the cover of Logan and Gene, he walked through the slot with light steps. Go out and make a strong rush to the ball.
The fake and real moves did not completely deceive the New York Giants' defensive front. Only one player followed Marcus's footsteps. The other players were still following the established plan and continuing to press forward. This was also their behavior in the first half. An effective way to defend.
This was a fake run and a real pass. The New York Giants defensive team's focus only swayed slightly, and then it targeted Lu Ke again. But the question is, who is Lu Ke's passing target?
