Because of the New England Patriots' unexpected raid choice, Lu Ke worked hard in the frontcourt and finally escaped. After a long pause and delay, the originally arranged short-passing tactic was completely messed up. A pot of porridge, all routes and positions in the entire backcourt were completely disrupted.
Lu Ke's breathing was still steady, his mood was still calm, and his brain was still clear. As his footsteps moved, his eyes quickly began to look around, looking for the target to catch the ball in the chaos, but the situation was a little unexpected. According to speculation, the backcourt should now be a duel between four offensive players and four defensive players. The offensive team is still not at a disadvantage, but the actual situation is-
White and blue are completely intertwined. You are like the wind and I am like sand.
Fifteen yards directly ahead on the right hand side, a touch of white and a touch of blue are entangled together; in the central area, about thirty-five yards away, a touch of white and two touches of blue are entangled together; but in the far left area, there are already I can’t see clearly, there seems to be two touches of white and two touches of blue mixed together——
The numbers don't seem to add up.
But Lu Ke's line of sight was blocked by the three-man confrontation in the central area, and he could not identify clearly at all; let alone accurately judge the matchup between offense and defense.
At the same time, from the corner of his vision, he could also see that the confrontation between the forwards on the left hand side had begun to separate. Some players were defending in the deep area, and some were chasing Lu Ke. The entire scene had turned into a flash of light.
To make matters worse, noises and boos echoed loudly inside Gillette Stadium, and the surging blue light and shadow made the figures on the court become more and more blurry, making it impossible to start.
There is no time.
The more nervous he became, the calmer he became. Lu Ke's fingertips tightened. With one step forward, the bow of his right hand, which was fully drawn like a crescent moon, was tightened to the extreme. The strength of his body and arms were completely integrated, and he kicked hard. The ground, and then threw the football hard, and you can see that the brown-red ball drew a thrilling arc, comparable to a long sword unsheathed!
A streak of white flashed across the dark blue hazy sky above Gillette Stadium.
...
Logan Newman, who was standing on the left side of the team's formation and sprinting straight ahead, realized something was wrong. He rushed ten yards without seeing the pass. After twenty yards, the offense was still not over.
But Logan still didn't panic.
According to the plan, this should be a short pass connection. The target of the pass should be Michael Crabtree on his left or Chad Hall on the other side. The left and right sidelines are the entire offense. Key point; after completing the ball, they keep pushing if they can, and if not, they immediately go out of bounds, because the team now needs to start consciously controlling the game clock.
But the game is still not suspended, which means that Lu Ke has not completed the pass, nor has he given up the pass.
There are four receiving players on the field at this time, Moss, Crabtree, Hall and himself. Only he knows Lu Ke best. After that guy enters bloody Bambi mode, he will never surrender easily!
As a result, Logan not only did not stop, but also continued to rush forward quickly. The previous steps were for the purpose of covering and picking off routes. Strength was more important than speed; but now, he used his The speed increased to the extreme, and he rushed from the twenty-yard line to the thirty-yard line.
At the same time, Logan quickly turned his eyes to look for Lu Ke's location.
At this moment, Logan noticed that Lu Ke had taken action.
The estimated landing point of the rainbow pass should be about 40 yards. The specific point depends on the height of the subsequent arc; the location is in the central area near the left area, and the falling range is still unable to be accurately judged. The current known information is still a bit rudimentary, but it is enough for Logan.
Logan withdrew his gaze and made a quick sweep. The receiver in the center was Randy Moss! Not himself, but Moss standing diagonally in front of him! Moss was just facing the direction of Luke's pass!
His opposing defensive player has given up defense and went to defend Moss, which also created a gap for himself; Moss is caught in the joint defense of two players. Now Moss has no way to quickly separate the route. Moreover, tough catches in desperate situations are not Moss's strong point.
Clearly, Logan should be the better passing target.
However, Logan believed that Lu Ke had his reasons for making such a choice. The stadium he saw was completely different from the stadium in Lu Ke's eyes. So, without any hesitation, Logan changed direction and ran quickly towards Moss's position.
Logan took the initiative and rushed to safety Devin McCourty who was blocking the position behind Moss.
Originally, McCourty was defending Logan, but after judging his position, McCourty gave up on Logan and formed a pincer attack on Moss with his teammates; now the position was reversed, with Logan targeting McCourty to The shoulder impact destroys the opponent's balance and center of gravity, and after one blow, he turns around and runs away.
McCourty's steps became obviously disordered.
But Logan didn't pay much attention at all, and then bypassed the positions of McCourty and Moss, and rushed towards the outside linebacker Tracy White who was running wildly on the other side and trying to cover the defense.
Because Lu Ke's shot took too long, some players continued to try to sack Lu Ke, while other players gave up on the offensive line and began to return to defense. However, the confrontation between the four receivers and the four second-line defenders has opened up enough distance, thirty-five yards beyond the line of scrimmage, so the defenders can't keep up. White is the only one. Came here on horseback.
Logan caught White's footsteps immediately. Now that Moss is facing two defenders, there is absolutely no need for a third defensive player to cause trouble, so Logan rushes forward quickly to create more space for Moss to catch the ball.
...
At this moment, Moss only felt like a small sampan in the storm, unable to stand at all. The defensive players on the left and right sides completely blocked his position and continued to collide with him, whether it was to speed up or not. Still can't find many gaps to get rid of.
But Moss, who has experienced hundreds of battles, would not let go. He kept retreating, facing the two defenders with his back, and then pressed back heavily, continuing to disrupt their rhythm with shoulder shaking and collisions. It forced them to step back continuously to complete the position, which also prevented them from fully exerting their strength. Even if they were stuck in position, they could not move and could only fall into Moss's rhythm step by step.
He raised his chin slightly and quickly searched around the court. Moss was still constantly looking for breakthrough opportunities to create more space for his teammates to complete the ball. But the next second, Moss captured the flight trajectory of the football. , flying towards him with a momentum across the sky.
Isn't this supposed to be a two-side pass attack? He and Logan were just smoke and mirrors, but why were the passes flying towards him now?
There was obviously an accident.
Faced with an accident, Moss showed his adaptability on the spot, quickly adjusting his steps in small steps, and the entire pace suddenly increased by a notch; at the same time, the weight and force of the retreat suddenly increased, with strength and quality. Changes to change the rhythm and balance of the offensive and defensive confrontation between the two sides, and you can instantly feel that the footsteps of the two defensive players are disordered.
At this moment, the defensive force on the right back failed and there was a violent ups and downs.
Moss knew that the opportunity had come!
Using the strength of his waist and abdomen, Moss straightened his back and straightened his center of gravity. The space between himself and the two defensive players was immediately slightly opened: If it was an airtight personal defense just now, then Now it's a close-range defense with heels against toes, with a palm's length between them.
For a tight space to catch the ball, that's enough.
His eyes quickly captured the flight trajectory of the rugby ball and made a judgment: Lu Ke's pass was still a little farther. He should be about thirty-six or thirty-seven yards away from Lu Ke, and this pass should be About forty yards. If this state continues, he will miss out on passing the ball.
In the blink of an eye, the muscles and body made conditioned reflexes before the consciousness completed the calculation——
He jumped on the spot without any run-up. His body was still shaking, but the power of his calves burst out instantly and he soared into the air. The stretched hands are in the most relaxed and tense state: full concentration, meticulous, calm and composed!
The rugby ball was falling rapidly and spinning at high speed. Moss could capture the rotation trajectory of the rugby ball in his eyes, and then his hands placed on the parabolic path of the rugby ball's rapid fall could feel the real leather texture, fingertips and palms. They all compressed hard towards the middle and controlled the football!
Now there is no need to think about pushing forward, controlling the football is the only goal.
But this is really not an easy task. Lu Ke's passing arc is slightly wider, so the power has not been completely released. If it were another quarterback, it might not be a big deal; but Lu Ke is a quarterback known for his precise control. His power and rotation control are very delicate. His falling speed is faster than the passing speed, so his power and rotation are also stronger. .
In addition, Moss was now in mid-air, and the two defensive players behind him collided again, one left, one right, one front and one back. The collision of the two forces made it impossible for Moss to control his body strength. He only felt that The fingertips are dancing wildly, and the football is about to break free from the shackles of the palm——
Once the ball drops, that's the result. Failure to regain control of the football may even allow the opponent to complete the interception before landing.
At this moment, Moss caught a white figure in front of him, his pupils dilated instantly, and he pushed the football out... just like that.
Push it away. Just push it away.
