On the edge of the court, the San Francisco 49ers players were nervously watching the changes in the game. Many players held their heads in annoyance. They couldn't believe their teammates' low-level mistakes and couldn't help but exclaimed, " Grapple! Jesus Christ, grapple!"
Lu Ke, who was standing not far away, always remained calm and carefully observed the confrontation between the two sides' offense and defense. As a quarterback, a calm mind and clear thinking are indispensable. The offensive style can be passionate, but the game style must be calm and self-sustained.
In fact, this wave of offense already had flaws at the moment of kickoff. First, Aldon Smith's early move caused the defensive team to lose five yards, creating favorable conditions for the opponent to complete the first attack conversion.
Immediately afterwards, Ahmed Brooks made a mistake in judgment. After Drew Brees succeeded in a surprise pass, he ignored the starting steps of running back Mark Ingram and focused on executing around the offensive line. The quarterback raid tactic also forces the defensive line to create a gap, which then becomes a breakthrough for the offensive line to run the ball on the ground.
Then there's Patrick Willis' missed tackle. Fatal missed tackle.
Although Willis was in the right place at the right time, his missed tackle became a complete breakdown of the San Francisco 49ers' ground defense.
If things go as usual, even if a teammate's blocking position is flawed, other teammates' coverage and defense can often stop the bleeding in time. This is also the reason why the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team ranks first in the league this season; but now the defense between teammates The rhythm didn't fit together, mistakes followed, and the situation suddenly became difficult.
As a quarterback, when Lu Ke stood on the sidelines and watched, his perspective suddenly became different. It was a bit like watching the game video from God's perspective. When Brooks appeared in the gap, Lu Ke captured a rush. Running in the gap, the only question is, can Ingram catch it?
As a result, Ingram, who came on as a substitute, finally seized the most important opportunity of the game.
So, things turned into a disaster. For the San Francisco 49ers.
Ingram broke out of the encirclement all the way, using his tough running to increase his momentum to the extreme. After breaking through Patrick Willis, he then knocked away the safety guard Donte Witler who came to defend, and Before another safety guard, Darshan Goldson, completed the defense, he bypassed the running route, let his teammates complete the pick-off, and then rushed towards the end zone.
Even the New Orleans Saints themselves didn't see it coming.
This was originally an ordinary five-yard attack on the second gear. When the passing attack failed to find effective opportunities and the pass was incomplete on the first gear and five yards, Brees tried to use Ingram's running ball to change the rhythm of the offense. , the length of the advancing yards is not the focus, the important thing is to be able to complete the advancement and change the rigidity of the offense with the rhythm of running the ball.
If Willis can complete the tackle in time, it's a four-yard run. For Brees, running like this is enough.
But I didn't expect that I would get an unexpected surprise.
"The New Orleans Saints are outscored again!"
"This was definitely something that could not have been expected before the game started. The offenses of the two teams burst out with unparalleled power, just like an upgraded version of the 2011 National League Division Series. There were a little more than three minutes left in the first quarter. Under the circumstances, three touchdowns have been completed on the field, and now all the pressure is once again on the San Francisco 49ers offense!"
The defensive team still failed to improve its condition in time and intercept the opponent; then, now it depends on whether the offensive team can maintain its condition and hold on to the opponent. In the end, it will be seen which offensive team falls behind first.
Unknowingly, this situation seems to have returned to the divisional round again. This is exactly the rhythm that Drew Brees likes best; but the difference is that last time it was at the home court of the San Francisco 49ers, and this time it was at the home court of the San Francisco 49ers. at the home of the New Orleans Saints.
Then, Lu Ke appeared again.
"False and true!"
"This is a passing tactic. Frank Gall, who pretended to catch the ball, covered Lu Ke at the last moment, replaced Lu Ke's position with himself, took the initiative, and rushed towards the offensive line. This tactic confused the opponent. The defensive players, four defensive linemen and two linebackers all gathered together and stacked up a defensive fortress to try to intercept the running ball."
"This was a fatal defensive misjudgment. All players were deceived by Gaoer and Lu Ke's fake handover actions!"
"Stepping back, Lu Ke was taking a step back. The entire pocket was like two bullfighting horns confronting each other. They were stuck in place. Unexpectedly, a clean pocket appeared. There was no defensive player to interfere with Lu Ke's pass. Ball observation, Lu Ke took action! The target of the pass is Randy Moss!"
"Moss is jumping up and down!"
"Wait a minute, this is a fake move. Moss and Lu Ke's fake moves deceived the defensive team again. Now Moss has attracted two defensive players. The loopholes in the second-line defense have been exposed. Now the New Orleans Saints The second line of defense has lost its position, and the entire backcourt is open."
"Michael Crabtree is changing his running route! Vernon Davis is also changing his running route! They were all moving in the short and medium passing areas, and now they are moving towards the deep area, and Tai De Ginn! Ted Ginn sprinted out like an arrow, and San Francisco has formed a three-arrow pattern!"
"The Saints' defense is completely out of control!"
"Lu Ke is still observing, Lu Ke is still moving in the pocket! God! Did the shot take too long? The Saints defensive team has made changes!"
…
Lu Ke deliberately extended the time he held the ball.
The delay caused by the fake running and real passing tactics was only one second, and it passed in a blink of an eye. When Crabtree and Vernon both changed their running routes, their steps were only nine or ten yards away; even if Gene, who is the fastest, has just rushed about fifteen yards, and the depth of the entire offense is still not enough.
At this time, the defensive players in the short passing area have already reacted. In addition to the two defensive players who are marking Moss, an outside linebacker and a defensive end have begun to adjust their defensive tactics. Make on-the-spot changes to the situation——
Lu Ke needed to attract their attention.
When Lu Ke continues to hold the ball, the players on the offensive and defensive fronts will inevitably follow the body's inertial choices and attack the quarterback. This can create more space for the second-line confrontation: In this way, There are only two safety guards on the second line to defend two receivers and a tight end. Lu Ke can easily choose any receiving point to maximize the offensive effect.
really.
Lu Ke continued to hold the ball, and the frontline players of the Saints defensive team rushed forward one after another, trying to complete the quarterback sack and end the offense from the source, but they forgot one thing: the relationship between offense and defense. The number of players facing off is the same.
Four defensive linemen and two linebackers, six; five offensive linemen and one running back, six.
However, the front line of the defensive team had an illusion of numerical superiority because they invested more strength. During the continuous collision, they failed to break through the pocket at the first time. When the pocket finally broke, it was already too late, because Lu Ke Enough observation time has been gained and the pass was completed before the sack came.
There was no fake move, the rugby was pushed out with both hands.
The rugby ball rose high and high, drawing a rainbow arc that shocked everyone. It rushed across the entire field and was teleported all the way towards the player running at the front——
"It's a long pass!"
"Thirty-yard line! Forty-yard line! Center line! The football parabola has not yet reached its highest point! Forty-yard line! Thirty-yard line! Twenty-yard line! Ted Ginn! The 49ers' No. 19 appears. At the drop point of the football! This is a long pass of about 46 yards! It spans more than half of the stadium and finds Lu Ke's most trusted far-reaching strike weapon!"
"God, Lu Ke's famous stunts reappear in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome!"
"Gene! Gene! Gene made the catch! Neither of the Saints' two safeties, Roman Harper and Rafael Bush, were able to block the position. Two players guarded three Players, they are too busy at all, obviously Lu Ke has an absolute advantage in this wave of offense."
"Gene accelerated! He instantly surpassed the defensive positions of Harper and Bush. There was already an open space in front of him, and there was no defensive obstacle in sight. Gene! Ted-Gene! Gene once again showed his speed. The absolute advantage, the fifteen-yard line! The ten-yard line! The five-yard line! A touchdown, there is no doubt that this is a touchdown!"
"Long touchdown! The precise long pass of 46 yards gave the opponent's second-line defense a fatal blow. It instantly defeated all defense lines like a nuclear weapon. This is the Lu Ke we are familiar with! He did it, he did it again done!"
"While everyone is worried about the impact on the San Francisco 49ers offense, with Logan Newman out, Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis down, it's bound to have an impact; but now , all worries can be put aside temporarily, because they still have Randy Moss and Ted Ginn!"
"Moss and Gene each used their abilities to score a wonderful touchdown, continuing the San Francisco 49ers' strong offensive momentum. The Saints defense still failed to stop the opponent!"
"It's great to watch. This game is really great to watch. Before the first quarter ended, there were four touchdowns on the field. The two teams refused to give in to each other. Now the score is evenly matched again! The audience in front of the TV Guys, the pressure is on Drew Brees again, can we... still see a touchdown?"
