Pass incomplete.
Lu Ke couldn't help but frowned slightly. This was a coordination error between him and Gower, and he was mainly responsible. Similar mistakes should be avoided as much as possible in official games. Gall is not a professional wide receiver, so his catching skills cannot be that good. This also means that he must be more cautious and meticulous when passing the ball.
But coordination errors are not the worst.
Lu Ke also noticed the Seattle Seahawks' right-side defense. Richard Sherman completely blocked Logan's position, while Earl Thomas completely blocked Gene's running; then Lu Ke chose With Gower as the passing target, Sherman and Thomas stepped up very quickly and almost immediately completed the step. Even if Gower successfully completed the ball, he would be surrounded.
What are the plans of Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll and defensive coach Gus Bradley?
Previously, Lu Ke believed that Sherman's provocation before the game was just a joke and more of a personal grudge; but after the start of today's game, the defensive intensity of Sherman and Thomas was obviously more powerful, whether it was This is true for Crabtree's failed catch, Gall's siege, and line blocking during pass observation.
What does this mean?
smoke bomb? Deception tactics? Or targeted/defensive?
But what is certain is that Lu Ke should stick to his tactics.
If he is forced to change the focus of his pass layout and avoid the right side and instead pass to the left, it will be a small matter in the eyes of the media that he is afraid of Sherman, and more importantly, the Seattle Seahawks defense will have The key point is that the 49ers' offensive space will be compressed step by step; if he stubbornly continues to challenge the right side and continues to challenge Sherman, that will play into the Seahawks' intentions, and they can continue to complete the pass defense.
In other words, Lu Ke's wisest approach at this time is to ignore the Seattle Seahawks' defensive tactics and instead use more varied tactics to create gaps for advancement.
After calming down for a while, Lu Ke's full tactical awareness quickly started to work. Lu Ke quickly communicated with the coach and the tactics room through the earphones, then summoned his teammates and immediately completed all tactical arrangements.
Ten yards in third gear.
After the game started, in just the second wave of offense, the San Francisco 49ers were caught in the third gear of long yardage. However, they still did not rush. They maintained the configuration of the starting lineup on the court and did not rotate players. They were calm. Their attitude can also show their confidence and maturity.
"attack!"
The San Francisco 49ers' offensive team made a slight change in position, returning from a multi-lane offense to a two-by-two formation, with Vernon and Crabtree on the left, Logan and Gene on the right, and the receivers on both sides. The players are all familiar old partners; moreover, their positions are all in the positions they are most familiar with. Crabtree is near the sideline, Vernon is in the middle to the right, Logan is standing in the slot on the right, and Ji is in the right slot. Enze echoes Crabtree.
When Lu Ke announced the kick-off, all four players ran their best routes——
Crabtree pulled slightly toward the outside and pushed deep into the area; Vernon started instantly and rushed about six or seven yards before braking suddenly and starting to run back; Logan quickly pushed along the inside of the slot, his steps slightly Shifting towards the inside, he broke into the central area; Jean rushed forward regardless, using his vertical strike ability to the extreme.
There was absolutely no coordination between the four receivers and they went into solo mode, running their own routes.
But it is precisely this independent advancement method that forces the Seattle Seahawks' defense to be torn apart. There are two defensive players on the left, two defensive players on the right, and one defensive player in the middle. They cannot form a relationship with each other. In response, it is impossible to form a regional defensive coverage, and can only retreat quickly. Everyone is focused on their own defensive players and does not dare to neglect at all.
If it is a counter defense, then the retreating linebacker in the middle becomes redundant, but he has no time and space to think, so he can only subconsciously retreat quickly and follow Logan who is cutting inside. Push forward, trying to form a double team with safety Thomas.
The problem is that the San Francisco 49ers still have Gower.
Gower, who was two beats too late again, rushed out from the gap on the left, like a dagger, cutting through the encirclement with sharp edges. No defensive player could be seen within the five-yard area nearby.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke, who was in the bumpy pocket, could be seen raising his right hand and making a passing gesture in the direction of Gower's movement. Although he had just experienced an incomplete pass connection, Lu Ke still did not hesitate and once again used Gower's running back catching tactics to open up the defense.
Seeing Lu Ke's passing action, the entire Seattle Seahawks defensive team became alert. At least three players adjusted their centers of gravity at the same time and sprinted towards Gall from different directions.
In an instant, all the blocking positions of the man-to-man defense were disrupted.
At this moment, Lu Ke's passing action was completed, but the football was not thrown. Instead, he closed it towards his left hand, controlled the football with both hands, and removed all the force of the forearm from passing the ball. Then he stood on the spot and adjusted in small steps, re-observing the passing route.
A feint, a delayed shot.
Lu Ke immediately completely disrupted the overall deployment of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team - timely response is a good thing, but sometimes it is easy to step into a trap if it is too timely.
Of course, the premise is that the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line bought enough time for Lu Ke: for two full seconds, the pocket was not breached, which gave Lu Ke time to pretend to take a quick shot for the first time; and then persisted After a second, the pocket began to become fragmented, but Lu Ke was still not completely exposed. This gave Lu Ke time to re-observe and pass the ball again.
At this time, the sight was already full of loopholes.
But the loopholes are still different. Some defensive players return in time, while others have an unstable center of gravity. The entire field looks dazzling, with red and white jerseys intertwined with each other, tightly covering the entire field. After all, it is really difficult to make an accurate judgment in the blink of an eye.
It's difficult, but it's called "the quarterback's job."
Lu Ke raised his right hand again, and pulled his arm back in a semicircular arc. It was not a full-moon bow, but just slightly pulled back. Then he used the rapid swing of his forearm to control his wrist, and the rugby ball followed. It slid across the sky, tore out a shallow arc, and galloped away with a continuous acceleration.
…
Gene continued to accelerate, but he did not increase his speed to the extreme. He was more controlling his steps, and his eyes were firmly aimed at Sherman, who was guarding him.
In this attack, all four receiving players have opportunities, because their running routes are the ones they are most familiar with and good at. Now it depends on who can open up a bigger gap when Lu Ke passes the ball.
Due to cross-positioning, Sherman came over to defend Gene, while Thomas was misplaced to defend Logan.
Gene always maintained a high degree of vigilance. After noticing that Sherman's center of gravity had shifted, he realized that the opportunity had come. However, Gene still did not act too hastily and continued to push forward, pulling Sherman's attention. After forcing Sherman to be stuck in a dilemma, Gene suddenly braked.
In the blink of an eye, Gene had successfully thrown Sherman away, and the distance between the two of them widened by a full five yards at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gene suddenly turned around, and after 180 degrees, he was already facing the direction of the quarterback, and then he started to run back actively. Then he saw that Lu Ke's pass had been sent over, which meant Now, his gap is relatively easy.
However, Jean still did not relax his vigilance, because the passing arc was slightly flatter than expected. This was a race against time. Jean's running back braked again and began to retreat again, constantly adjusting in small steps. In his own position, in order to complete the ball in advance, Gene jumped up and took the football into his arms early on the falling curve of the football.
Because the butter hand situation in the last game was so serious, members of the coaching staff repeatedly reminded the receivers to avoid such terrible mistakes.
At this time, Gene was completely focused, even ignoring Sherman, who was approaching quickly. He made perfect catching gestures with both hands, steadily put the football into his arms, and completed the further step with the power of his fingertips. control, and then felt the lightness and softness of the feet landing.
Turning around on tiptoe, Gene faced the end zone again, ready to continue advancing, but then he saw Sherman rushing towards him like a train.
All the energy was concentrated on catching the ball, so that the offensive position was slightly inferior. Gene lost his position and inevitably fell into Sherman's tackle. Sherman was like He lifted Jean up like he was carrying a bag of rice, and then bumped his whole body down, trying to vent his anger for missing the defensive position in a rough way.
But Gene completed the control first, using the strength of his waist and abdomen to form a confrontation. When his feet landed, he turned around on the spot, and the confrontation between the two people had already moved away. Sherman followed the inertia. , and continued to flop forward in embarrassment; while Jean quickly stood up on his hands and feet.
This was a 13-yard pass. After Gene completed the pass, he successfully completed a ten-yard conversion on third gear, successfully getting the first offense for the San Francisco 49ers.
Gene held the football in one hand and gave a thank-you gift in the manner of a palace etiquette. All the fans in the Candlestick Stadium began to cheer and shout.
