The air solidified.
To be precise, the raging and boiling wave is still gurgling, and the shock brought by the quarterback's touchdown has not dissipated for a long time, and it will continue to be discussed for a long time even after the game is over; but Now, here comes the even more surprising thing, the San Francisco 49ers actually chose two extra points.
This means that they pushed the New York Giants over the cliff and also pushed themselves over the cliff. This was almost a life-or-death offensive choice. Either win or lose, there is no overtime, and all other possibilities are cut off with a decisive, hands-on approach.
Such a choice was so shocking and so unconventional that every audience member suffered a critical hit of 100,000 points.
As a result, the whole audience forced themselves to be quiet. They stared with bated breath in extreme shock. No sound could be heard, but the heart in the chest was beating hard, almost bursting out of the chest. The tension and excitement, even the burst of adrenaline, have become silent.
Standing on the court, Lu Ke did not immediately start reading the defense. Instead, he focused all his attention. The excitement and excitement after just completing the touchdown reception calmed down. He took a long breath and then started playing again. Pick yourself up and focus on reading the defense from the beginning -
At this moment, this is not two extra points, this is a fourth-and-two-yard offense that must score a touchdown. The team has now reached the edge of the cliff with no retreat! In order to win, this four-speed two-yard attack must be completed! No choice!
The San Francisco 49ers offense and the New York Giants defense put up exactly the same formation:
The offensive team is still a trident formation on the left and a single pistol on the right; and the defensive team is still a neat formation lined up at the front of the end zone. Even the positions of the cornerbacks and safety guards have not changed much.
Suddenly, as if they were going back in time, the two teams returned to the previous touchdown.
But Lu Ke knew that his opponent would not make the same mistake twice; even if there was a certain probability, he could not gamble on a crucial victory.
In his mind, he reorganized Hubble's tactical arrangement just now. The three-dimensional image of the entire end zone was clearer than ever in his mind, and then Lu Ke announced the kickoff.
"attack!"
Lu Ke's hands had just touched football, and it was obvious that the New York Giants had changed their defensive tactics.
After the kickoff, Marcus, who was standing on the right side of Lu Ke, jogged all the way, jumped out of the slot, followed closely behind Logan, and the two rushed into the end zone one after another——
Logan is running the goal line and cutting in towards the central zone; Marcus is running the corner post line and has reached the orange corner post on the right.
Because the starting position of the offense was at the front of the end zone, everything happened in a flash of lightning, very fast; and immediately after, the New York Giants' defensive front had completed the encirclement, and they directed all their frontline forces towards their left wing. That is, the 49ers' right-wing strife.
The four defensive players worked together to put pressure on Jonathan Goodwin, Anthony Davis and Alex Boone on the right side. With their absolute numerical advantage, the three players were knocked back steadily, while Joe Stein on the left side was defeated. Instead, Leigh and Mike Rupatti immediately became free and stood in a confrontational posture. However, there were only two linebackers in front of them who maintained about three yards of space to guard.
After Marcus ran out, the pocket on the right side collapsed, like a city wall, blocking Lu Ke's possibility of moving to the right. Even Marcus and Logan's positions were among the surging people. Become looming.
The defensive intentions of the New York Giants couldn't be more obvious. They responded to others in their own way. They took the lead in cutting off the right route and forcing Lu Ke to the left side. They could also finish on the left side in advance. Set up the defense to nip this two-point conversion in the cradle.
Lu Ke's footsteps were still retreating, and he could clearly capture the collapse of the entire pocket with his peripheral vision, just like a dam was falling apart. He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem in his mind and reacted immediately.
Not only did he not avoid it, but he also took the initiative to run towards the right side and complete the breakthrough with a head-on attack. He could guess that the defense on the right side would not be too tough now, and a frontal breakthrough was obviously the best and most effective way. Good opportunity.
But Lu Ke failed.
Three offensive linemen and four defensive linemen were crowded in front of them in layers, like a hill, blocking all potential escape routes; moreover, the opposing players were making full use of their numerical advantage, trying to tear them apart. Breaking the pocket and getting a quarterback sack.
Lu Ke only had time to move two steps to the right, and before he had time to adjust, he had no choice but to give up the idea of a frontal breakthrough, and passively moved sideways to the left as if catching a wave.
Rupadi and Stanley were free, but they still did not relax their vigilance. Instead, they kept moving in small steps and stared at the two linebackers in front of them. They did not dare to relax at all, otherwise they would pass and attack. The striker completed the sack.
Lu Ke's footsteps moving to the left immediately attracted the attention of New York Giants No. 57 outside linebacker Joaquin Williams, and he followed closely; Stanley rushed forward immediately, but Stanley's His body was too big, and Joaquin moved a beat ahead of time, moving laterally. Before Stanley could complete the double-team, he got rid of the entanglement and continued to rush forward.
Jacques was like a runaway wild horse. His entire center of gravity had tilted, but he had no intention of adjusting. He followed the inertia of his center of gravity, increased speed, and then increased speed, catching up with Lu Ke at full speed and circling a small circle. In a small arc, his hands stretched out as hard as a gibbon, trying to pounce, further compressing Lu Ke's pulling space and passing vision.
For Lu Ke, there was chaos in front of him.
The red and white were completely intertwined. As expected, the three receiving players Vernon, Gene and Moss were surrounded by five defensive players. Each defensive player was guarding one person. A receiving player, and two other players took the initiative to move forward and cruise in front of the end zone, constantly waving their hands, destroying the view of the passing line.
No passing space, no passing space at all.
But now, what is more urgent than passing the ball is to encounter a sack. In the flash of lightning, Lu Ke has no time to activate "Falcon Eyes", and can only reflexively activate "Absolute Pace" again. This game can be said to be truly exhausting, and the belief in victory has reached an unprecedented height.
Lu Ke never thought that they had inner demons, but if they did, he would defeat them with both hands and feet now!
The first second.
Jacques was quickly completing the outflank, because Lu Ke was observing the passing route, and his steps seemed a little hesitant. This also further highlighted Jacques' chasing speed. It seemed that just a breathing gap, Jacques was already one step away. , the ferocious face hidden in the helmet is rapidly enlarging endlessly.
Lu Ke's feet came to an emergency stop and stayed in place.
The inertia of Joaquin's sprint became stronger and stronger, and he seemed to be on the verge of losing control. He whizzed past Lu Ke's eyes uncontrollably, but he still stretched his hands as hard as he could and kept swinging. Destroying Lu Ke's passing vision; but for Lu Ke, this fleeting space is enough.
He saw it!
Vernon and Moss were stuck in position. Gene was running back quickly, creating a gap of about two yards between the three closely guarded players. For the passing attack, it was almost a gap as thick as a hair. , but Lu Ke caught it keenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, he completed absolute control of his steps, and then raised his right hand to send the football out.
It was a bullet pass.
Quickly and swiftly, he left the palm of his hand and teleported towards Gene, who was about four or five yards away from the front line of the end zone, with lightning speed.
Gene adjusted his steps with a series of small steps and was ready to catch the ball, but at this moment, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway! A player wearing a white jersey appeared on the connecting line between Lu Ke and Gene without warning with a horizontal flying movement. He stretched his hands to the extreme, made a basketball blocking gesture, and forced the football into the air. He was beaten out raw.
That's safety Terrance Frederick.
Cornerback Justin Tryon and Joaquin Williams, who were standing not far away and were on the verge of losing control of their bodies, simultaneously adjusted their center of gravity and flew toward the falling direction of the football, trying to complete the interception. Interception - at least interception, this can directly kill the game!
Second second.
Lu Ke's heart suddenly contracted, he was careless! He was so careless!
He completely forgot about the interception by the two defensive players at the front of the end zone, and the arc of the pass was too flat and straight! damn it!
But Lu Ke still maintained a high level of concentration and did not lose focus at all, because this was a bullet pass. The force of the pass was fierce and straight. It almost hit Terrence's palm like a wall, and then... Then it bounced back straight like this, but the falling arc was a little faster.
Lu Ke took two steps forward, quickly stepped forward, leaned forward, pressed down with his hands, and made a catching motion, like a monkey fishing for the moon. He caught the football in a parallel position near his knees, almost dangerously. Holding it firmly in his hand, he could still clearly catch Tryon and Joaquin pursuing him from the corner of his eye.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke himself did not expect his steps——
First the left foot, then the right foot, stood on tiptoe, dancing gracefully like a ballerina's dance movements, missing Tryon by a hair's breadth, and dodging Joaquin. Those elegant and smooth steps were truly It interprets tightrope dance into a beautiful and moving form of elegant art.
Then, the third second!
