Attacking in the red zone is inherently difficult. Within the limited space, the matchup between offense and defense will be further compressed, and the tactical layout will be further restricted, which will be a severe test for players on both sides.
There is a "red zone offensive efficiency" in the league's official statistics. Some teams are weak after entering the red zone and can only end up with free kicks; while some teams are extremely efficient in the red zone and have limited opportunities. Just be able to score a touchdown. Likewise, there are players who are known to be red zone killers, such as Calvin Johnson and Rob Gronkowski.
In the first touchdown attack just now, Lu Ke tried to open up the defense through a multi-line attack. Three players including Gene, Moss and Marcus formed a sense of ladder to confuse the defensive players. Although he successfully completed Passing the ball, but the effect is unsatisfactory.
However, the offense in the red zone was originally close-quarters, and advancing five yards was enough.
Now facing the second-gear attack, Lu Ke changed his tactics.
The San Francisco 49ers offensive team quickly changed their positions, and it was still a multi-line attack. Moss came to the right side, and Vernon came to the left side, joining Logan and Gene.
The reason is very simple. In the short passing area of five yards, the double close-end tactic can form a matchup advantage. Like a beacon, it stands in the end zone and becomes Lu Ke's passing target; moreover, now the two close-end forwards can form a matchup advantage. The ends are all standing on the same side. Lu Ke can choose Vernon or Logan to further confuse the defensive team's judgment.
At the same time, Marcus is also located on the right side, which means that Marcus can run in the slot and form two light fast horses with Gene on the same side, creating more passing options.
On the right side, there is definitely a heavy accumulation of troops now.
Correspondingly, the New York Giants' defensive team also immediately made adjustments, because this is a red zone offense. Within just five yards, every corner is full of players. A little negligence may cause the loopholes to be completely amplified. , so their defense must also tighten up and compress.
Lu Ke stood behind the offensive line, his pupils contracted slightly, and he carefully looked at the defensive players' layout.
But in fact, there are not many tactics left in the layout of defensive players. Because there are only five yards from the end zone now, even if the space in the end zone is added, the total is only fifteen yards. There is not much space to display at all. The defensive players can be captured wherever the sight is, like a powder keg. Generally, it can be ignited and detonated at any time anywhere.
However, Lu Ke can still vaguely capture some gaps. It depends on whether his offensive team members can open them up.
After the attack officially started in the second half, Lu Ke used the special skill "Amplification Halo". The switching speed between offense and defense so far is very fast, so the special skill is still valid. This is good news and has important impetus for the pursuit of points.
Without thinking too much, Lu Ke stood up straight and fine-tuned his running route. He shouted the slogan twice on the left and twice on the right to confirm that all receiving players had received the signal, so he bent down again. , ready for kickoff.
"attack!"
This time, Lu Ke did not use any fancy deceptive tactics and directly announced the kick-off. Then he began to quickly retreat, completely opening up the entire pocket space, and moved towards the right side in small steps——
Vernon, Logan and Gene immediately scattered quickly, all without any rush to rush, and cruised within the five-yard area between the line of scrimmage and the end zone line. Every player had it. The ability to open up gaps and complete the connection with Lu Ke immediately made the entire end zone tremble.
Only the linebackers standing in the middle noticed Marcus' abnormality, because they were originally responsible for marking Marcus.
Marcus bypassed Lu Ke, quickly walked around from behind him, and sprinted towards the left corner post as quickly as possible. This simple running route immediately made the entire New York Giants defensive team In a panic, at least two players quickly followed Marcus' footsteps and began to move laterally, and began to compress the space sharply, preventing Marcus from gaining room to advance, and went straight to complete the touchdown.
One side is a full-scale deployment of three attack points, and the other side is a sudden attack from one attack point.
The New York Giants defensive team was obviously overwhelmed. All the players in the entire end zone were scattered, and they were divided to the left and right sides in an instant, just like Moses using his staff to part the Red Sea. It was a spectacular sight.
Then you can see Lu Ke's steps paused slightly, and he made a movement to prepare to pass the ball. In an instant, everyone's muscles tightened, but then, Lu Ke stepped on his feet and suddenly accelerated towards the left. He moved two big steps sideways, and before the defensive player could react, he raised his hand and passed the football.
Oops!
Almost every New York Giants defensive team player realized that something was wrong. They could only react according to the instinct of their bodies. However, in the speed competition, the football always had the upper hand. They could only quickly catch the football with their eyes. flight path, and then watched helplessly as Moss completed the catch.
It's still Randy Moss!
…
After the kickoff, Moss did not rush to attack. Instead, he wandered in the nearby two- and three-yard area with small steps. His body's center of gravity made a cross-cutting trend toward the inside, which attracted the attention of the defensive players. Although he was exerting force, his steps were still not released, and his muscles continued to tighten, as if he was on the verge of exploding.
Turning his head slightly, he used the corner of his vision to capture the movement on the left. When he saw a figure walking past quickly, Moss immediately withdrew his attention. With a quick sweep, he captured the movements of all the defensive players in front of him between his pupils. , almost everyone's body center of gravity is moving to the left.
step.
step.
Moss took two consecutive steps on the spot to ensure that the defensive player's center of gravity had shifted. Then he sprinted out in two quick strides without much movement, and then made a 180-degree turn to the right. Turning around, his eyes quickly caught the rugby ball flying straight towards him.
The height is just right at chest height. Moss doesn't need to adjust his steps or center of gravity. He turns around and immediately controls the football in his palm.
Successful catch!
The position of the defensive player just appeared in Moss's mind immediately, and he could feel a surge of air behind him. It was conceivable that at least one defensive player was approaching quickly.
Moss did not change his center of gravity, and sat back, throwing his entire body out. His back arched like a ripe prawn, and he was hit backwards with his arched back, and there was a muffled "bang" sound. Moss was like hitting a steel plate, slamming away the blocking impact coming from behind.
Having been prepared in advance, Moss did not panic and used the flexibility of his body to relieve the reaction force. After his feet landed on the ground, without any pause, he quickly turned to the left with his left foot as the center of the circle, and his right foot followed the trend. As soon as he touched the grass, the propulsion force burst out from the calf muscles, and the whole person was like a loach, quickly getting through the defensive player's position.
The defensive player tried to forcefully change his center of gravity, but Moss's footsteps were really elusive and unpredictable. He abruptly turned his body ninety degrees, but his footsteps and muscles were simply unable to keep up with the speed and rhythm. In the first gear of offense and defense, Moss's physical talent is fully displayed. No wonder he is called a genius wide receiver that is rare in the NFL for a century! No one can surpass it so far.
The next moment, the defensive player fell to the ground in a daze, just like a base slide in baseball. But at this moment, he was not handsome or exciting at all, but in a state of embarrassment, and he could only watch helplessly. Moss stepped forward with light steps, and the front line of the end zone was already within easy reach.
Touchdown, success!
The entire touchdown was so fast that the audience did not react. They were a little dazed for a moment. They saw the referee in the end zone raising his hands high and straight to indicate the touchdown, and then the home audience turned around. God came, "Boom", and the cheers exploded in an instant:
They scored another touchdown!
With the fastest speed and the shortest time, he maximized the score and quickly completed the touchdown, which severely suppressed the momentum of the New York Giants and brought the suspense of victory back into view.
break out! The entire audience burst into laughter! Just a cry of "Ah" will cause all the energy in the body to burst out continuously.
Even Teddy and Kirk in the studio were a little stunned. The commentary had just started and the touchdown was already coming.
"Attack! Lu Ke moved to the right and made a passing movement, but... this was an obvious fake move. Then Lu Ke moved laterally to the left, raised his hand and passed the ball. Lu Ke found the original Moss was waiting on the ground, Moss completed the catch! Moss completed the touchdown!"
There was no time for surprise or cheers, and Kirk's explanation ended abruptly, because it was too sudden and too fast, so that it felt unreal and ridiculous, and he finally burst into laughter.
Turning his head, Kirk immediately found a similar expression on Teddy's face. After the two exchanged glances, Teddy finally chuckled, relaxing the atmosphere and returning to the rhythm of the game, calmly. He said, "No one doubts the San Francisco 49ers' scoring ability for an offense in the red zone, but it was a bit surprising that it came so quickly."
"Yes. Facing the second touchdown situation, Lu Ke played very smartly. He used the double tight end tactic to divert the attention of a large number of defensive players, and also used the running back catching tactic to divert the attention of the opposing defensive players. Finally, with a short pass of three yards, he easily found Moss who was stuck in the gap!"
Kirk also recovered immediately and gave a general explanation in a simple and clear way. After the narration, the entire offensive model was formed in his mind, which made Kirk smile in agreement and nodded repeatedly.
