Jason Pierre-Paul, No. 90 of the New York Giants, is a defensive end. There is no doubt that he is the most outstanding and stable player on the entire team's defensive team in the past two seasons. After spending his rookie season in 2010, he successfully ushered in a full-scale breakout last year and entered the Pro Bowl in one fell swoop.
The same goes for today's game.
Pierre-Paul stared at Lu Ke intently. After the kick-off, he immediately started his steps and sprinted towards the side where Joe Stanley and Mike Rupati were, but his peripheral vision was still fixed on Lu Ke. That was his only goal, and he never let up. He could catch Lu Ke's movements of pretending to run, but he was not moved at all——
He pressed his body against Stanley's position, forming a horn shape. He did not break through rashly, but continued to apply pressure, just like making pottery, squeezing the pocket inward bit by bit, and shaping it into what he wanted. The important shape surrounded Lu Ke in the center, forming a dilemma of a turtle in an urn.
At the same time, Pierre-Paul's thoughts began to spin rapidly: How would Lu Ke choose his passing tactics combination when he faked a run and made a real pass?
On his other side, Logan and Gene; on his side, Moss and Vernon.
Just now, Marcus ran to cover Logan and Gene, and Moss suddenly took a rotation, which means that there is a high probability of an incident on his side.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and in a flash, Pierre-Paul's animal instincts had already reacted. He made a violent impact with his body, knocking Stanley away one after another. Just when Stanley thought that the next wave of impacts was about to follow. At that time, Pierre-Paul made a light change of pace, using Stanley as the axis, quickly turned 360 degrees, and then bypassed Stanley——
Raid the quarterback!
Sure enough, you can see Lu Ke running towards you, one rushing forward and the other moving sideways. The intersection point not far in front of you is the moment when the two people collide. Like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, Lu Ke takes the initiative to send him away. Coming to the door, this made the hair on Pierre-Paul's body stand up, and his adrenaline suddenly burst out.
…
"attack!"
The New York Giants defensive team immediately deployed in an orderly manner. The impact of the four defensive fronts was short and powerful, and they continued to put pressure on the offensive line's pocket with high-frequency collisions.
Then I saw the tactic of fake running and real passing. An outside linebacker followed suit and got stuck in the slot one step ahead. An inside linebacker stood on the spot and adjusted his footsteps and center of gravity in small steps to confirm that this was a passing attack. After that, he gave up his position and quickly followed Lu Ke's movement, joining the footsteps of another outside linebacker and moving laterally towards the right side of the Giants.
The two linebackers quickly exchanged glances. The inside linebacker followed in the footsteps of defensive end Pierre-Paul and continued to charge towards the offensive line. The outside linebacker quickly retreated and joined the cornerback and safety. Line up, quickly make up defense. Obviously, they all realized that Randy Moss's appearance was no accident.
It should be noted that the New York Giants have accumulated seven players on the front line, and all of them are pressed together. This also means that the second-line defense only has four players, two cornerbacks and two safeties.
Therefore, once the frontline defense frees up space, they will inevitably follow up with defense in the short passing area to help their teammates relieve the pressure.
After the kickoff, on the left side of the New York Giants, the cornerback faced Gene, the safety faced Logan, and the outside linebacker faced Marcus.
Gene and Logan obviously did not rush forward in a hurry, but kept cruising in the short passing area. When Marcus came over, they immediately started to pick and cover. The running routes of the three people intersected with each other, and it was dizzying and impossible to distinguish. As a result, the three defensive players had to switch from confrontation defense to zone defense, stuck in the advancing position, and hung neither far nor near.
On the right side of the New York Giants, the cornerback faced Moss and the safety faced Vernon. The entire defensive position seemed much clearer, but the running styles of the two players were completely different.
Vernon advanced quickly along the inside midline area, a seemingly unpleasant straight line advance, and five yards later, he made a light and small inside cut, keeping a distance from the opposing defending safety guard. Without fully exerting his force, and without warning, Vernon stepped outside and quickly advanced towards the deep area of the midfield pass near the sideline. The safety guard also immediately activated, and they were entangled with each other.
No one could understand Moss's running. He slowly ran along the outside. He was not in a hurry to get rid of the cornerback, nor was he in a hurry to open up the space. He circled an adducting arc and started to pull towards the inside central area. During this period, he and Vernon did a cross-position swap, and then suddenly ran back towards the short passing area.
It's about turning back. Not forward.
Moss's sudden turn and sudden increase in speed caused him to throw away the cornerback with an instant burst of explosive power. He started running back in an unreasonable manner and made a catching gesture.
The cornerback is chasing back, and the outside linebacker who just freed up is quickly covering up.
As a result, a wonderful scene appeared on the court:
Lu Ke was moving towards the left side. A defensive player had already broken through the pocket. He was sent to the goal as if he had thrown himself into a net. Another defensive player took over the gap, blocking Stanley's position and setting up for his teammates. Creates a one-on-one opportunity - the quarterback has no chance in front of the defensive end.
Moss, who was running back quickly, was surrounded by two defensive players, one behind him. His erratic running route failed to open up the gap, but instead revealed his intention to catch the ball early. After the previous tactics of fake runs and real passes failed to deceive the opponent, the hidden dangers left behind were completely exposed.
Not good, really not good!
Both the quarterback and the receivers were targeted, and the San Francisco 49ers always seemed to be unable to perform their best under the New York Giants' ever-changing defense with their ever-changing running routes. This puts the 49ers offense into a desperate situation once again. Their rhythm with the Giants defense always seems to be able to fit together——
A more favorable pace for defense.
…
At the critical moment, Lu Ke was about to collide with Pierre-Paul. Then Lu Ke made an emergency brake and stopped his footsteps abruptly. All the muscles in his body were tense to the extreme, just like Michael - Jackson's moonwalk is like a freeze-frame action, elegantly and wonderfully freezing the action of running quickly with the ball.
There was an error in Pierre-Paul's calculation of the physical space, and the entire center of gravity was completely empty. If this trend continues, he will miss Lu Ke by just a hair. But at the critical moment, Pierre-Paul Er-Paul once again showed his top physical talent. He twisted his waist in the air, forcibly adjusted his upper body, and once again pounced towards Lu Ke who was standing in front of him.
Like an eagle catching a chick.
Lu Ke's body seemed to be frozen in place. For the second time, the two of them were about to stumble and fall into a ball. It was still an unavoidable grapple, but they saw Lu Ke sit back heavily, his body center of gravity. Stumbling backwards quickly.
From stasis to acceleration, the distance between Lu Ke and Pierre-Paul widened instantly, but at the same time, Lu Ke had also lost his center of gravity. There was no suspense at all, and he fell to the ground in such a state of embarrassment - no miracle. , there is no myth, and there is no twist.
The gasps of exclamation from everyone in Candlestick Stadium could be clearly heard on the TV, as well as Kirk's commentary in the studio like a torrential river:
"God! Lu Ke fell down! Lu Ke fell down! This is a sack! A sack! The San Francisco 49ers encountered difficulties in the first wave of offense in the second half. Wait! Wait, no, this is not a sack Kill! Wow! Wow! This is so exciting, I can’t breathe! God! God! This is not a sack! Lu Ke’s offense continues! Oh my God!”
The first second of bullet time.
Everything just happened under the cover of the special skill "Bullet Time". From the first moment of the attack, Lu Ke had already completed the calculation in advance. Because the overall state of the offensive team was unstable, he had to use his own His performance opens up the situation, on the one hand, he improves his own morale, and on the other hand, he suppresses his opponent's strength.
"Amplification Halo" plus "Bullet Time", this is a chain plan.
He stumbled and fell to the ground, which made Lu Ke panic. The whole world was shaken violently, but he still tried his best to keep his brain calm. Even though it was a small accident, Pierre-Paul The breakthrough was too sudden, but overall, it was still within Lu Ke's plan.
Falling down was the end of the entire accident.
Lu Ke never panicked. Because the dead ball rules for the quarterback and the receiver are the same, after falling to the ground, it is still not a dead ball until the opponent's defensive player completes physical contact.
Just now, Pierre-Paul had not touched Lu Ke's body. But obviously, Pierre-Paul also realized this. After losing his center of gravity and falling to the ground, he began to crawl quickly like a zombie, struggling and twisting like a four-limbed animal. Trying to touch Lu Ke and create a dead ball.
Second second.
Lu Ke firmly grasped the football with his right hand and quickly retreated with his hands and feet. At this time, he didn't care about his embarrassing posture at all. After narrowly escaping from Pierre-Paul's reach, he stood up again. Then he quickly started to step back. While adjusting his body's center of gravity with small steps, he raised his right hand and made a passing posture.
In an instant, the entire New York Giants defensive team was in a state of panic!
The three frontline defensive players were still trying to break through the offensive line's pocket and complete Pierre-Paul's unsuccessful sacking task; the two frontline defensive players quickly retreated and cut into Moss, Marcus, and Logan. The short passing area completely blocks potential passing routes.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
