"Bambi, pause!" Hubble's unswerving words burst out with determination and ruthlessness. He made a decision quickly and neatly, and Hampton also closed his mouth in the earphones.
On the court, Lu Ke immediately raised his hand and asked the referee for a timeout. All the players on the offensive team stood there and looked at Lu Ke.
During the game, it is Hubble who has the power of tactical arrangement and on-the-spot command. All tactics must go through him. He is the only person with such power. He also assumes all risks and responsibilities. Although Hampton’s The tactical status is the same as Hubble, but at the critical moment, Hampton cannot give orders over Hubble.
But for the members of the offensive team, the only person they trust and rely on is Lu Ke. At this moment, they noticed something unusual, but they looked not at Hubble, but at Lu Ke.
This is called comrades.
After the pause, Lu Ke still didn't speak, and Hubble didn't urge him immediately. Instead, he waited quietly, leaving enough time and space.
After two seasons of cooperation, Hubble has a good understanding of Lu Ke. He knows that this quarterback never shows mercy at critical moments. If Lu Ke says something is wrong, then something must be wrong. Lu Ke He is definitely not the kind of rookie player who just rushes around casually. The bigger the occasion, the better he performs. Now, Lu Ke said he needed quiet, so he would give Lu Ke quiet.
Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye, but Hubble and Lu Ke remained silent, not discussing tactics at all.
At this time, the tactics room was in chaos. Everyone looked at Hampton and asked with their eyes: What's going on?
Hampton felt like his hair was about to be pulled out. He tried to think of some solutions, but he could only spread his hands and slammed the headset on the table, "How do I know?"
"Bambi, how should we attack now?" Hubble finally spoke, but it was not to lay out tactics.
Lu Ke took a long breath, and his irritability finally calmed down completely, and said calmly, "Okay, I have no problem. Coach, start arranging tactics."
"In the two attacks just now, their defense was obviously pulling back to guard against long passes. At the same time, the intensity of the raid tactics has also increased. How do we respond?" Before Hubble deployed the tactics, Lu Ke In the simplest words, he told what he gained from the quarterback's perspective. After all, these contents are different from watching from the sidelines.
Different from the tactics in the first half, although the current tactics of the New England Patriots' defensive team are also to pull into the backcourt, the first half is more focused on control, weakening the ground defense and cutting off Lu Ke's passing route. .
And now it’s more of a typical last two-minute defense——
Cutting off the possibility of long passes, creating a situation where almost every team has a similar defensive strategy, but each team has its own style in terms of tactical layout and player scheduling.
"Well, I understand." With each breath, Hubble thought about countless tactics in his mind, but he suddenly found that both he and Bill Belichick were scheming against each other, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. It's complicated, and the more you think about it, the deeper it gets. It's like a master's game, so dazzling that people can't recognize it clearly.
So, instead of coaches standing on the sidelines and scheming against each other, it is better to let the players on the field fight hard. Of course, the premise is that he is willing to trust the commander on the field.
"Bambi, listen up, there are still 103 seconds left in the game. You use the non-aggregation offense. You have to deal with the control of the game time at your own discretion. If something goes wrong, I will time it out on the sidelines in time. , just let it go and do it without any scruples. Remember, touchdown is our only goal, there is no difference between third gear transition and fourth gear transition, touchdown! What I want is a touchdown!"
Belichick is a gambler, and so is Hubble.
Belichick just lost the bet, now it's Hubble's turn.
After all, Hampton in the tactics room couldn't hold it back and started yelling curses. The constant swear words were simply unbearable, but he had just thrown away the headset, so it had no impact on Hubble and Lu Ke.
But everything is under the supervision of team manager Trent Baalke, and as long as Trent doesn't say anything, Harbaugh's tactical choices will not be questioned. Although, at this moment, Trent couldn't help but start sweating on his palms, because he knew better than anyone else what exactly Hubble was doing.
No Ju Shang attack.
The link of offensive group deliberation is deleted, and it relies entirely on the quarterback's on-the-spot response and the tacit understanding of the offensive group. If it is a non-aggregating offense in college, then the offensive group's talent will be carried forward; and in professional leagues The non-congregation offense is the ultimate test of the quarterback's ability to arrange and combine tactics.
In the past two seasons, Hubble has given the highest trust to Lu Ke. During the game, if Lu Ke temporarily changed tactics or took the initiative to propose tactics, Hubble was willing to let Lu Ke try; in order to shorten the meeting time To improve the rhythm and speed of the offensive team, similar tactics have been implemented many times.
But this is the official first time for a complete non-gathering attack.
In the past two years, the no-huddle offense has gradually become popular in the NFL. I originally thought it was just a lazy tactic in college, but after entering the NFL, it has become a stage to showcase the quarterback's ability——
Not to mention, the biggest reason why Peyton Manning has put up astonishing numbers after joining the Denver Broncos this season is that quarterback coach Adam Gase took the initiative to propose a no-conferencing tactic, which will Manning's tactical layout ability is fully released, not just to advance quickly, but to put the offensive rhythm in Manning's hands. This also magnifies Manning's advantages to the extreme, and this is just his recovery from injury. It’s just the first season back.
To a certain extent, this symbolizes that the head coach and offensive coach have given their "tactical decision-making power" to the quarterback, either because of the league's top players like Manning, or because of the coach's unconditional trust in the players. No matter what the possibility is, the prevalence of non-aggregation attacks means a shift in the center of power.
In other words, this is not an easy or easy choice for any coach.
But now, Hubble decided to hand over full offensive control to Lu Ke at the last moment of the game. In this game between the old fox and the little fox, Hubble became the first to break the situation.
Because Hubble realized that he and Hampton had too many and too complex ideas, and it was easy to fall into Belichick's trap. Because they were bystanders, they had to control the game; but the rapid changes on the field were not It's too complicated to control accurately, which is why Lu Ke lost control of his emotions just now.
That being the case, then, why not give the power to Lu Ke?
Hubble is willing to believe in Lu Ke, or in other words, he is willing to take a desperate gamble.
Lu Ke did not refuse.
Firstly, there is no time, and secondly, there is no need. Now is the moment of a last-ditch battle, either successfully reversing the victory or fighting until the last minute to lose the game. Lu Ke would rather choose the latter. Even if he fails, he will straighten his back, raise his chin and welcome their outcome calmly!
So, Lu Ke said simply and neatly, choosing his basic offensive formation, "Moss, Gene, Hall and Newman, and Lynch."
Since it is a non-aggregation offense, rhythm and speed are the vitality of the entire offense. Rotating players will definitely still exist, some are due to physical distribution, and some are due to special gears such as third-speed transition, but overall, the offensive team needs to maintain a relatively stable structure so that the quarterback can operate at high speed. status.
Therefore, Lu Ke chose his own offensive formation.
Without any hesitation, Hubble sent the corresponding players onto the field with a wave of his hand.
In fact, this is also the most stable receiving team among the San Francisco 49ers. If replacement is needed, the rotation of Marcus and Gall can have a positive impact; the cross-switching of Manningham and Moss Also able to change the pace. Now it depends on how Lu Ke completes the on-the-spot formation.
Thirteen yards in third gear.
This is an opportunity for the New England Patriots' defense and a crisis for the San Francisco 49ers' offense.
Lu Ke stood in the offensive line, his thoughts completely settled. He would not think about whether it was the third gear or the fourth gear. His only thought now was: they were already standing on the edge of the cliff, and every attack was a challenge. It must be completed as the last attack. Only by bursting out with this desperate momentum can we take the initiative.
The defensive team's position was still as expected. The two safety guards had retreated to the back half, at least twenty yards from the line of scrimmage. They did not relax at all because this was a very long yardage dilemma of 13 yards on third down. Be alert - Lu Ke's long pass is still the biggest weapon at critical moments.
The defensive fronts of the linebackers and cornerbacks were also obviously pulled back, stretching the entire defensive space, and corresponding adjustments were made according to the position of the offensive team; only four defensive forwards were left on the front line.
The San Francisco 49ers deployed an unconventional two-by-two formation.
In terms of the general direction pattern, there are still two receiving players on the left and two receiving players on the right, but the positioning of the players is very particular.
On the left are Randy Moss and Logan Newman. Logan stands side by side with offensive tackle Joe Stanley, looking like the sixth offensive lineman; while Moss stands on the left Relative to the middle position, it can be cut in or out.
On the right are Gene and Hall. Both players are positioned closer to the inside. Gene's position is right next to the slot, but there is still a channel for the slot; there is a gap between Hall and Gene. Less than three steps away, it is basically symmetrical with Moss on the other side.
Logically, they should be closer to the sideline - after all, the game time is not good for the San Francisco 49ers, but now the receiver's position is moving inward? What exactly is going on?
But Lu Ke didn’t leave any more room for the defensive team to think——
"attack"
