Patrick Willis, who had just completed an interception, also had a rare outburst of emotion. He grabbed the football with one hand and continued to roar, venting his excitement and excitement. Because he knows better than anyone how important and valuable this interception is in the fourth quarter.
And Tom Brady, who had just handed over the interception, stood there with his hands on his waist. The expression hidden in his helmet was unclear, but his lowered head revealed a trace of annoyance and frustration. The interception itself was bad enough. , it is even worse when the opponent recovers strongly and chases points bravely, and morale is completely waxing and waning.
The current competition situation has undergone further subtle changes.
Even though he has experienced hundreds of battles, Brady is still a mortal. His emotions at this moment are slightly out of control. He is disappointed with the team's performance and even more disappointed with his own performance. He stood there gasping for breath, but after all, he still couldn't get rid of his negative emotions. Then he strode out of the stadium and returned to the sidelines to calm down.
At the same time, Lu Ke on the other side of the field was adjusting his breathing. He was not too excited or excited, but maintained his calm killer character. The more tense the moment, the more he needs to remain calm and calm, otherwise, The defensive team had just ushered in a great situation with an interception, and it was very likely that they would give it away again.
…
The position where Willis completed the interception was near the 43 line in the San Francisco 49ers half. After the interception, he also tried to return the attack, but after all, he still could not control his steps well. Finally, at the 43 line in the San Francisco 49ers half Tackled to the ground above the six-yard line.
For the New England Patriots, they finally pushed to the opponent's half. They only need to complete another first attack before they can enter the free kick area. Then this game is basically guaranteed to be won. A two-point gap and a fifteen-point gap are two different things. But... they ended the offense with an interception.
For the San Francisco 49ers, the momentum of continuous pursuit of points since the second half is getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, the defensive quality and intensity of the defensive team are also rising steadily. The current state can be said to be the best moment in three or four weeks. Now the opportunity comes to the offensive team again. They need more than just a free kick. A touchdown is the only goal.
Take advantage of the victory and pursue it!
This wave of offensive and defensive confrontations is equally important to the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots. If the San Francisco 49ers cannot complete the touchdown, they will still need to chase a twelve-point deficit in the remaining game time. The chances are getting slimmer and the upward momentum has been interrupted; naturally, the New England Patriots The defensive team also assumes the corresponding heavy responsibility.
Standing in the pocket again, Lu Ke's entire mind and breathing remained calm. All his attention was focused on the defensive team and he began to read the defense seriously.
The position of the New England Patriots' defensive team has changed again. Compared with the first half, it is completely different. It can vaguely capture a hint of the Pittsburgh Steelers:
The four defensive linemen on the front line confront the five offensive linemen; three linebackers behind them are three linebackers, slightly apart from each other, and the middle linebacker is facing the quarterback on the other side of the Chuhehan boundary. , the two outside linebackers are almost in opposition to the offensive tackles on both ends of the offensive line.
In front of and behind the linebacker line, the left cornerback takes two steps forward to face the wide receiver on the same side; the right cornerback takes two steps back to face the wide receiver on the same side. The entire position is still moving slightly and does not completely stay in place.
Three or four yards behind the linebackers, you can see two safeties. They are standing in the gaps between the three linebackers, but they are just farther back, faintly. Set up against the offensive guards on both sides of the offensive line.
Such a formation can be said to be three lines or four lines, but this is not the point; the point is that the layers are intertwined and overlapped like peeling an onion. Once launched, it is like a wave, layer upon layer. The ground surges forward, forming an interactive reaction chain, intercepting the attack in the form of a gate.
Of course, the difference between talking on paper and practicing in practice is: can it be performed 100% as expected? There is no shortage of surprises in competitive sports. It was like Brady just threw an interception, and the entire Gillette Stadium let out unexpected exclamations. So if Lu Ke also...
The New England Patriots' defensive formation can advance, attack, retreat or defend. It is impossible to make an accurate judgment just from the defensive reading, but the tactical room and Hubble have reached a consensus that the probability of pass defense is greater.
Similarly, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive formation can also be passed and run. It is impossible to capture any offensive information just from the two-by-two basic formation in the pistol formation, not to mention that in the last touchdown, Lu Ke just completed the run. "Debugging" of the ball.
The fans at Gillette Stadium erupted with strong and ferocious noises, trying their best to interfere with the San Francisco 49ers' offensive rhythm; but Lu Ke was not moved at all——
"attack!"
After confirming that both sides are calculating each other, now it's time to see whose brain can calculate faster and respond faster when entering the actual combat phase. In this regard, Lu Ke was eager to try. Since the storm has begun, let's let the storm come more violently!
Holding the ball in both hands and quickly retreating, Lu Ke didn't even make a fake move to pass the ball. He passed by Marcus, raised his chin slightly and began to look at the defensive layout of the entire court: This is a pass. ball! An upright pass! Then it’s a matter of passing defense and catching offense!
However, Lu Ke caught the dangerous atmosphere immediately.
The mature and seasoned - or rather cunning - Belichick repeated his old tricks again, copying the first offense and defense of the first wave of offense in the second half, and once again launched the quarterback raid tactic.
After the three linebackers completed the cross-position in an instant, they stepped forward at the same time and joined the ranks of the four defensive forwards, creating a dislocation. With the absolute numerical advantage of "seven versus five", it was as fast as a thunderstorm. He tore his pocket open.
This season, the performance of the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line is really eye-catching, but they are not supermen. With five against seven, and with an absolute disadvantage in numbers, they are still unable to parry. The five offensive lines are completely stuck. position, and the two linebackers detoured from the outside without encountering any obstacles, completing the outflank of Lu Ke one to the left and one to the right.
At the moment of kick-off, the three linebackers completed the cross-position change. Now they are Jarrod Mayo and Rob Ninkovich on the left and right sides. Their steps are fast and they collide fiercely. During the rapid advancement, a powerful wave of air was set off, swarming in and leaving Lu Ke completely unable to escape.
Now there was no time to observe the passing target. Lu Ke only had time to shout, "Marcus!"
Because this was a pistol formation, Marcus did not run out in a hurry, but stayed on Lu Ke's right hand side, consciously slowed down the attack, and found a gap to receive the ball in the short passing area through the time difference; he did not expect that , the opponent's attack on the quarterback was so fast that before Marcus even started to move, he saw Mayo rushing towards him.
Even without Lu Ke's reminder, Marcus had already lowered his center of gravity and blocked the road between Mayo and Lu Ke.
Because the confrontation and collision could now be seen on the right side, Lu Ke reflexively started to move towards the left, one step, two steps. After turning his head, he saw Ning Kewei rushing towards him like a hungry wolf. Odd, blind side, blind side, damn blind side!
But the annoyance at this time is of no use.
Faced with such a situation, Lu Ke can be regarded as experienced. He made a judgment in a glance without using special skills. He pushed hard on the ground with his left foot, completed an emergency brake, and then moved his body towards Moving quickly in the opposite direction, the distance was already widened before Ninkovich completed the sack.
One step, two steps.
The hard training in the offseason evolved into muscle instinct at critical moments. Lu Ke's pocket steps were light and fast. Even without the help of special skills, his lateral movement still completed the escape. Seeing Ninkovich After completing the adjustment of his center of gravity, he rushed over again in pursuit, and Lu Ke moved laterally to the right one step ahead.
Mayo caught Lu Ke's figure. He blocked Marcus's position with his shoulders and rushed towards Lu Ke regardless. Because the distance was too close, his hands seemed to be able to touch Lu Ke. his shoulders, and he could even feel the touch of the jersey on his fingertips.
At the critical moment, Lu Ke forced to speed up again, his cadence and stride length increased again, and his quick steps were dangerously staggered - Mayo's left hand slapped Lu Ke's shoulder heavily, but the force and angle were all staggered. , only had time to shake Lu Ke's center of gravity, but failed to pose any threat, and then watched Lu Ke walk away.
After getting rid of the capture crisis, Lu Ke still did not relax his vigilance, because he could feel that Ninkovich and Mayo were still pursuing them, and they had no intention of giving up easily. This meant that he had to take action as soon as possible. .
Lu Ke's footsteps moved quickly and horizontally, leaving the pocket for about seven or eight steps. The field in his field of vision became wider again. The target of the pass was the target of the pass - seven defensive players. Participated in the quarterback raid tactic just now, which means that the second-line defense is very weak.
Chance! Excellent opportunity!
