Richard Sherman suddenly contracted his palms, grabbed a handful of grass clippings, and then smashed them to the ground. He stood up, his eyes fixed on the man standing in the crowd. Lu Ke, with a flash of light in his eyes, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, filled with a cruel and bloody aura, and confidently launched the challenge——
The excitement of this showdown has just begun! He will pay back the shame of two games last year!
The eyes like a falcon seemed to fall directly on Lu Ke across the field. He raised his eyes, and then Sherman and Lu Ke's eyes met in the air.
Sherman slowly licked his lips with his tongue, like a vampire who had just finished his meal, enjoying the bloody aroma remaining on his lips. The provocation of the demonstration was released condescendingly, once again making the game tense. The tense atmosphere reached a new high. Sherman then returned to his defensive position.
Whether it's Logan or Gene, Sherman is not afraid at all now and can always find a way in the confrontation. Now, let's make this battle more fierce. Let's see what happens at the end of the game. Who burns the blood and turns it into ashes. He had a hunch that that person wouldn't be him.
After completing his position, Sherman adjusted his body's center of gravity slightly, keeping an eye on Gene, but with his peripheral vision, he scanned Logan's position like a hawk, displaying a powerful dominance that covered the entire field - —After ten yards from the line of scrimmage, this is his territory, this is his world!
"attack!"
Thanks to the quiet environment of the audience, Sherman could clearly hear Lu Ke's kick-off slogan. His eyes were immediately fixed on Gene, and he moved quickly following Gene's footsteps, but He did not rush forward rashly, but constantly adjusted his center of gravity and grasped Jean's movement trend. He continued to retreat step by step, while using his peripheral vision to scan Lu Ke's movements and passing movements. This is an important basis for the defensive players to judge the second start.
Immediately, Sherman caught Lu Ke's passing action, at a 45-degree angle to the left, which was the position he was defending; at the same time, Gene also began to quickly adjust in small steps, making an inward lateral movement. , all the pores on Sherman's body shrank, and his extremely tight muscles exploded instantly, and he flew toward Gene like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
But, there was no waiting for football.
Sherman blocked Gene's position, but the football didn't pass as expected. What happened?
Turning his head, Sherman saw Crabtree, who was eight yards away from his right hand, trying to control the football. However, the football was like a clown's juggling ball, bumping up and down, and seemed to be about to break away at any time. Crabtree's control, falling to the ground, is as funny as it gets.
Crabtree is still not in top form.
But this time, other defensive players failed to mark Crabtree in time, and all their attention was directed towards Sherman. No white jersey could be seen within five yards of Crabtree, so Crabtree Butrie still relied on his physical ability to control the football that was about to get out of control, and then turned around to complete a short-yardage advance.
The San Francisco 49ers entered second down for four yards.
Sherman gave up on Gene, stopped, and glanced at Lu Ke fiercely and cruelly. The bloody aura that permeated the air seemed to be showing off in a mighty way: What? Don't you dare pass the ball here?
He was just provoking Lu Ke.
When the quarterback loses his mind and calmness, his field of vision will begin to narrow and the tactics will begin to become simpler. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the defensive team.
Lu Ke avoided his gaze. Sherman couldn't help but laugh cheerfully. This was a positive sign - for him.
"attack!"
Sherman still did not relax his vigilance and kept up with the pace immediately, and then saw Lu Ke handing the football to Marcus who was on the rotation - obviously the San Francisco 49ers are constantly using the rhythm and style of different running backs. They took turns looking for running conditions, but Sherman would never give them any space or leeway.
Sherman immediately gave up on Gene and rushed towards Marcus who broke through from his side. However, in order to defend the pass, he had retreated too far. Moving forward at this time seemed to be too late to catch up. .
Just four yards.
Marcus successfully made a first attack, and then Sherman blocked Marcus' advancing position, but Marcus almost broke free from Sherman's grasp. Fortunately, Earl Thomas Immediately afterwards, Pat Ma arrived and joined forces to complete the defense, but they still suppressed Marcus's counterattack.
Sherman triumphantly smashed his mouth, spat in the direction of Lu Ke and the offensive line, and continued to apply pressure, as if to say: You still don't dare to pass the ball here! coward!
Immediately afterwards, there was another tactical change. The right side became Logan's single resistance, and the left side gathered three players to evolve into a multi-line attack.
After the kickoff, Marcus came out of the slot on the right side with a shaky fake pass. He seemed to be preparing to copy the tactics of the previous offense, attracting linebackers, Sherman and other players. After that, Lu Ke completed the adjustment of his steps and quickly completed the pass towards the left hand side.
Under the joint pick-up of Vernon and Crabtree, Gene easily completed a five-yard short pass, and then advanced four more yards under the cover of two sturdy teammates. Yard was forced to fall to the ground and the attack was interrupted.
Then there was a failed pass connection between Lu Ke and Vernon, resulting in an incomplete pass; but then in a one-yard situation on third down, Frank Gower, who came on the rotation, abruptly gained one yard and turned the offense over. It continued.
Then there was a pass from the right, but before Sherman could get stuck, the short pass connection between Lu Ke and Logan failed because Lu Ke's passing force was slightly stronger, resulting in the passing position There was some misalignment, and Logan's shoulder hit the football. He had no time to control it, causing the pass to be incomplete.
It was another running ball, and the offensive line successfully opened a running route. Marcus advanced four yards and was held in place by two linebackers. Unfortunately, he was unable to continue to advance.
It can be clearly felt that the San Francisco 49ers' offensive tactics are becoming more three-dimensional and more diverse. The three different areas on the left, center, and right are constantly tearing apart the defense. Some mistakes are inevitable, but in the end they are still. With high frequency and changeable tactical combinations, the offense continued.
But Sherman didn't panic at all. Instead, he became more and more excited and happy:
Because Lu Ke is following the Seattle Seahawks' defensive tactics, his passing position is tilting towards the right side of the Seahawks little by little; of course, Lu Ke will still attack on the left side, but more often Mainly running the ball and short passes, the passing accuracy also showed obvious deviations, all of which prove that the pressure brought by Sherman is increasing.
Sherman imitated the step-up posture of a sumo wrestler, raising his left foot, and then his right foot, as if every time he landed, he could shake the entire ground, causing a shock wave of landslides and earth-shattering. That proud and arrogant posture was taking a step forward. Step by step, they challenged the patience and bottom line of the San Francisco 49ers.
It's third gear again, another six-yard gain. The San Francisco 49ers' offense is often in trouble. Then you can see Lu Ke moving laterally to the right side in small steps, but this is a fake move, just However, after alternating between two and three steps, he paused and moved laterally to the left.
The Seattle Seahawks defensive team seemed to have made predictions in advance, and determined that Lu Ke's offensive choice would be on the left side of the 49ers and the right side of the Seahawks; despite this, the Seahawks' right side defense still did not lose its own Position, just the pace of follow-up is slightly slower, focusing on blocking rather than personal defense.
Sherman started instantly and followed Gene step by step, but he did not stick too closely. Instead, he put his left hand against Gene's position. Through the flow of air and the change of body position, he felt the connection between the two people. The distance between him ensures that he can start to complete the defense at any time, and his attention mainly falls on Logan on the right.
At this moment, Logan and Gene were making a cross-change run.
This is not surprising. In the previous attacks, their running routes were always changing, firmly restraining the defense of Sherman and Thomas.
At this time, faced with a sudden cross-position again, Sherman and Thomas were already familiar with it and reacted immediately to keep up with the two offensive players. But from the corner of his eyes, he caught Lu Ke's footsteps moving to the other side. Sherman and Thomas also followed slightly to complete the tilt of the center of gravity, ensuring that Logan and Gene's positions were stuck behind them——
If the ball comes, they can complete the defense half a step ahead of time, or even intercept it.
The surprise happened again.
Logan and Gene crossed over to run for the second time. Even if Sherman and Thomas were stuck on the crossing route of the two people, they completed the run regardless, even taking a detour.
Sherman and Thomas tried to follow up immediately to complete further close defense, but they could see that Lu Ke had left the pocket, facing Crabtree and Vernon on the other side, raising his right hand, ready to After completing the pass, the two people's footsteps paused for a moment.
Before this wave of follow-up defense could take place, Logan and Gene actually started to cross-change positions for the third time. Basically there is no distance, it just keeps moving back and forth in an "S" shaped curve within a small area. It is extremely fancy and gorgeous, overwhelming people, but it is flashy and useless.
etc.
Lu Ke passed the ball towards Sherman's side!
