The fundamental reason why the trick attack is called "trick" is that it is against the norm. This is true for the passive side, and it is also true for the initiating side. If you are not careful, you may shoot yourself in the foot.
Strong wind!
The strong wind that disrupted the progress of the game many times in today's duel began to cause trouble again.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the rugby ball, Marcus did not dare to attach too much strength to the rugby ball, not to mention that their own end zone was not far behind Lu Ke. Instead, he mainly used the swinging force of his forearm. ; Then I saw the rugby ball shaking and twisting in the wind like fallen leaves in autumn. The entire flight path became very weird and it was impossible to make an accurate judgment.
What's worse is that the strong wind is also mixed with a piece of water mist. It's hard to tell whether it's starting to rain again or whether it's a mist condensed by thick water vapor. The most serious problem now is not that the vision is slightly blurred, but that the rugby ball is easy to Slippery hands.
Standing in the pocket, Lu Ke's attention remained highly concentrated. As he watched the trajectory of the rugby ball begin to wobble, he immediately started the "absolute pace" without any hesitation.
When catching the ball, although hand movements are the most direct and important, accurate footwork can reduce the risk of accidents in catching the ball and regulate body balance and catching rhythm. At the critical moment, Lu Ke no longer cared about wasting his special skills and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this wave of attacks.
The first second.
His upper body remained stable and upright, while his lower body was making small adjustments. All offensive and defensive players out of his peripheral vision were temporarily put aside, with only the erratic football in his eyes.
Because of the gusts of wind, the rugby ball is shaking violently, and the lower part of the ball/body is constantly spinning, and the arc is getting wider and wider, which also makes the falling point change all the time.
This is not the kind of situation where strong winds cause the rugby ball to completely go off track - if so, there are still traces to follow and a quick judgment can be made; it is the kind of gusts that are sometimes light and sometimes heavy, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. .
This makes the football flying in the air always in an unstable state. The offset trajectory may be half a hand or even a smaller distance, but it always moves left and right, which requires the receiver to be constantly moving. Adjust the small steps to ensure that they accurately match the rotation rhythm of the football, otherwise you may lose the ball.
With only 40 points of catching ability, every muscle and nerve in Lu Ke's body became tense. His eyes never left the football, and he kept adjusting in small steps in a space the size of a half-step circle. Then, in the safest way, he made a cradle gesture and put the football into his arms.
But even so, the rugby ball covered in water mist was still slippery and almost jumped out of Lu Ke's arms.
Fortunately, Marcus' pass didn't have much force attached to it, and the rugby ball's reaction force was limited. Lu Ke still managed to control the rugby ball.
Second second.
As soon as he finished catching the ball with both hands, and before he could control the ball with his right hand, Lu Ke quickly withdrew his gaze and with a sweep, he had a panoramic view of the entire situation.
But Lu Ke had no time to carefully examine the passing target and defensive matchup, because someone had already broken through the offensive line and rushed towards him like an out-of-control bull: No. 75 defensive tackle Vance Weir Falk.
In fact, although Wilfork is responsible for facing the right offensive line of the San Francisco 49ers, his defensive position is on the inside, more often against Anthony Davis or Jonathan Goodwin, and even on the inside. He can make a cameo appearance when necessary; but in the trick attack just now, after all the players tilted to one side, the position of the offensive line also shifted, which caused Wilfork's position to be wrong. Come.
Wilfork is a big fat man with a body of 325 pounds (147 kilograms). Movement is really not his strong point. Even in the quarterback raid tactic, he is the one responsible for hitting the offensive line and creating pocket pressure. ; So, he simply stood there and watched the entire defensive confrontation.
Then, he saw Marcus' backward pass.
Wilfork immediately sensed the crisis and quickly started the second time - although his "quick" was still very, very slow, he still used his shoulder to knock away Boone who was not completely stuck in position, and then sprinted towards Lu Ke .
With his arms spread wide, Wilfork was like a big brown bear, showing his fangs and flying towards his prey. Just his roar was enough to make people dizzy, not to mention the impact caused by his huge body. I feel oppressed, and I feel like I may be shattered and wiped out at any time.
Lu Ke did not rush to escape. He paused for a moment. He held the football in his arms with his right hand. His fingers kept adjusting and he steadily completed the control. Then, the shadow of Wilfork could be seen in his pupils. As the strong wind and drizzle hit his face, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in dark shadows.
At the critical moment, Lu Ke used his right foot as the center of gravity, stepped heavily on his left foot, and moved his body sideways; at the same time, after his left foot left the ground, he bypassed Wilfork's body position, pulling his body to create a soft path. And the tenacious arc ducked under Wilfork's arms, and then quickly circled behind Wilfork.
Hula la, there was a sharp and turbulent wind in my ears, beating my eardrums wantonly, and the sound of the hunting wind began to become sharper; but... fleetingly, with the switching and shifting of footsteps, the raging and cruel wind The strong wind slid over the shoulders and cheeks in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.
Light, smart and graceful.
It was just two steps, but it neatly created a dislocation between the two people. Then you could watch helplessly as Wilfork lost his center of gravity and lost his target. He rushed forward clumsily and embarrassedly, unable to control it at all. His own body balance; Lu Ke has once again started to adjust in small steps and made a passing gesture.
The third second.
Lu Ke raised his chin slightly. Where was his passing target?
Damn, where are his passing targets?
Pattering, pattering, the hazy rain and fog made the vision begin to blur, and together with it, the whistling cold wind also became clear. The slightly stiff fingers could not help but tighten up, and the muscles began to tighten again. stretch.
Calm down, stay calm! He must stay calm!
At this moment, if you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the entire Gillette Stadium is seriously unbalanced:
The left side of the San Francisco 49ers was completely in a mess. From the time Marcus completed the pass to the time Lu Ke prepared to pass the ball, it only took one or two seconds. Neither the offensive players nor the defensive players could complete the tactics immediately. redeployment, so they could only confront each other on the spot.
The offensive player tries to run the route again and get into position to catch the ball.
Defensive players try to finish on the spot, cutting off all possibilities.
The entire left side is stocked with at least ten players, if not more.
In comparison, the right side seems weak. Two players wearing white away jerseys are facing three players wearing dark blue home jerseys. Even the confrontation between the offensive line and the defensive line has deviated to the other side, so that this side looks a bit calm and desolate. .
Just as Lu Ke got rid of Wilfork, the matchup on the right wing also changed.
The No. 19 wide receiver Ted Ginn, who was originally advancing quickly along the inside slot, had already rushed about 23 or 24 yards from the line of scrimmage. Suddenly, he ran outside and headed towards the sideline. The area moves quickly.
Chad Hall, the No. 13 wide receiver, was originally running quickly along the outside of the center. He took the initiative to meet Aqib Talib's defense. The two were entangled. Then Hall suddenly cut inside and ran Out a goal route.
The three defensive players on the same side must react immediately.
Outside linebacker Rob Ninkovic, safety Steve Gregory, and cornerback Ajib Talib, these are the three defensive players of the New England Patriots this time:
Originally, Ninkovich personally defended Jean and Talib to pester Hall.
Now, Hall quickly pulled toward the other side of the court, looking like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth and throwing himself into a trap. He took the initiative to rush towards the meat grinding ground, where countless defensive players were stocked, and the scene looked very chaotic. ; But Gene is playing outside, and has completely exploded the speed of vertical strikes. Considering the threat potential of the two players, it is obvious that Gene is the more likely target to catch the ball.
With a flash of judgment, Talib immediately gave up Hall and advanced quickly towards Jean; Ninkovich followed Jean step by step.
Gregory did not act rashly. He continued to adjust his steps in the backcourt to prevent Hall from becoming an unguarded player. But overall, his center of gravity was still slightly closer to the outside sideline - because Gene's speed is really Notorious.
While changing positions, Hall and Gene continued to run towards the far-reaching area, which also caused their figures to become blurred and flicker in the drizzle.
Lu Ke knew that he had to stay calm as he was looking for the passing target; but now the figures in his sight were very blurry, and he was unable to make any decisions about the player's position and route, or the control and adjustment of the passing ball. With accurate judgment, short pass is the safest choice at this moment.
However, Lu Ke did not hesitate and gritted his teeth. Now that it has started, it is only right to go all the way to the end. He decided to complete the pass according to the established tactics before the kickoff. If he chose insurance, then Lu Ke would no longer be Lu Ke, and the 49ers would no longer be the 49ers. .
After adjusting his steps, he suddenly stepped forward, filled the round bow with his right hand, and then sent the football out. But...who is the target?
