Standing at the exit of the players' tunnel, looking up slightly, the endless dark blue crowd spread out like a deep and vast ocean, so vast that you can't see the edge, and even the blue sky has melted into it. As a whole, every corner of the sight is filled with rich blue, pure and profound.
In a daze, he was like Robinson Crusoe in the embrace of the vast ocean. No matter how hard he searched, he could not see the horizon, and then he gradually began to despair.
There is a mountain higher than the mountain, and the majesty and magnificence of the Century Chain Course are truly amazing!
When the Seattle Seahawks players entered the stadium, the cheers of the audience broke out instantly, and continued to surge inside the stadium like a storm, truly creating an earth-shattering effect. Even if Lu Ke stood there, he He could feel the faint vibration coming from the soles of his feet - he was sure that it was not an illusion.
When the San Francisco 49ers players entered the stadium, the boos from the audience immediately became one, and they came one after another like a stormy wave, one wave higher than the other, just like the Iron Fan Princess holding a banana fan and fanning the front non-stop. Generally, it seems that even with the forward steps, you can feel the air resistance and pressure being superimposed layer by layer.
Before the game even started, Century Chain Stadium gave the San Francisco 49ers a slap in the face with their iconic support move, strongly declaring that this was the home of the Seattle Seahawks!
This is just the beginning.
During the pre-game coin guessing session, Seattle Seahawks captain center Max Unger guessed the coin correctly again - the same happened last time at Candlestick Stadium, when they chose to defend first; This time, Unger chose to take the lead in attacking.
Subtle changes in selection can also show a huge change in the confidence of this team.
Russell Wilson led the offensive team to the stage amid applause from the audience!
The current Seattle Seahawks offensive team still has the same players, but compared to the fifth week of the regular season, the player status has undergone a radical change——
At least three of the offensive linemen have Pro Bowl-level abilities, including center Unger; the performance of receivers Doug Baldwin and Golden-Tate has been significantly improved.
The most important thing is that the running back lineup has two Pro Bowl-level players, Marshawn Lynch with beast mode, and veteran Leon Washington with excellent ability to find gaps. Under the clever cover of the offensive line and tactical layout, the two players' taking turns running the ball became the team's sharpest weapon.
The Seattle Seahawks are still a team that focuses more on running the ball than passing the ball. Marshawn and Leon's rhythm changes assist Russell's read option offense. Their ground attack is very powerful and currently ranks second in the league. , second only to the Washington Redskins led by Robert Griffin III——
The latter is also a running quarterback. Starting from Cam Newton to this year's Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson, the offensive diversity of the entire league is becoming younger and younger. The more powerful it is.
By the way, these three running quarterbacks are all black players, and their physical advantages have become the biggest guarantee. Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers is also black.
Based on the strong state of ground attack, Russell's defensive reading and passing attack can always achieve better advancement effects. What's more, his passing accuracy is better than Cam's, which also makes Hai The Eagles' offense became more three-dimensional. But on the other hand, if the ground attack is blocked, then the current Seahawks will face serious problems——
So far, the Seattle Seahawks have lost a total of four games, namely to the Arizona Cardinals in the opener, to the St. Louis Rams in Week 4, to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7, and to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Gave it to the Miami Dolphins.
What's the secret in this? Three of the games are divisional civil wars. When the ground defense starts to become tough under the catalysis of the divisional civil war, the Seahawks will often become at a loss; and the Dolphins' defensive team currently ranks seventh in the league, including the ground defense ranking. fourth.
Of course, these four games are all away games, which is one of the reasons that cannot be ignored.
In today's game, the San Francisco 49ers, who have topped the league in ground defense for two consecutive seasons, have dropped to third place in ground defense due to their ups and downs in the past two weeks, but their strength is still absolutely top-notch. Group duels will also determine the outcome of the game.
This can be noticed in the first wave of attacks.
"Marshaun Lynch! God, beast mode! Marshawn Lynch turns on beast mode again!"
In a steady attack, Russell repeatedly used read option offense to confuse the situation, involving a defensive player on the San Francisco 49ers linebacker line, attacking in the east and west, always able to create defensive mismatches.
This cannot be blamed on the San Francisco 49ers defense, but because the Seattle Seahawks' ground attack is indeed rich in means.
The so-called read option offense is familiar to the San Francisco 49ers during their defensive training because of Kaepernick. To put it simply, it means that the quarterback targets an opponent's player and deliberately leaks the player. Then use seven players including the offensive line, running back, and yourself to match up with one defensive player of the opponent's defensive team - whether it is a "4-3" or "3-4" defense, the first line of the defensive team is seven players, which means that the offensive team can always complete the matchup.
The leaked player will face off against the quarterback. The quarterback only needs to pay attention to the movement direction of this player, and then choose his own attack method based on the opponent's actions: passing the ball, running the ball, or running the ball himself.
Because in the Seattle Seahawks' ground attack, Marshawn Lynch, Leon Washington and Russell Wilson themselves all have the ability to complete runs with the ball on their own, which further makes the San Francisco 49ers' The defensive team was exhausted and there were frequent defensive mismatches.
The risk of reading option offense is very high. Once the defensive team sees through the quarterback's intention and makes moves and dislocations in advance, they can complete the tackle on the quarterback or running back as soon as possible. If the quarterback runs the ball by himself and is faced with brutal tackles from defensive players, it will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth, and the frequency of injuries is far beyond the horizon.
But the rate of return is also very high. Whether it's Cam last season or Griffin and Russell this season, as long as they can keep a cool head, they can indeed gain some upper hand in read-option offenses. For the competition, this little advantage is enough.
After consecutive read-option plays, Russell elected to hand the football to Marshawn.
"Marshaun Lynch knocked away Aldon Smith's tackle. Smith was completely stuck in his position, but Lynch's strong collision threw away Smith with a head-on defense. His size and strength are not in the same weight class at all. superior!"
"Lynch knocked away Smith, and then faced the joint defense of Dashon Goldson and Carlos Rogers, as well as the timely defense of Patrick Willis! The San Francisco 49ers' ground defense maintained The concentration is very high and the position is very timely! The entire running route has been blocked!"
"Marshaun Lynch! God!"
"Lynch forcefully knocked out of Rogers' position, and Rogers flew out! This was simply a bullfight! The long-lost beast mode was activated again! Rogers' loss of position caused Goldson to fail to close the door in time, and Lynch accelerated ! Lynch accelerated a second time! Goldson was still trying to run back, and Willis didn't give up, but... it was too late!"
"Touchdown!"
"Marshaun Lynch ran the ball 18 yards for a touchdown!"
Although it was mainly a ground attack, the Seattle Seahawks' first wave of offense was very solid and very fast. It only took less than four minutes. Marshawn relied on his unstoppable and powerful running to gain the victory. The first touchdown of the game, the first down.
The entire offense was relaxed and smooth, and it continued to the final running ball. Marshawn's beast mode abruptly broke through the circle of four defensive players, and when the opponent made no mistakes, he relied on his own ability to open up a route, just like The touchdown was completed like splitting Huashan Mountain!
The Century Chain Stadium was boiling instantly!
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!"
The deafening shouts were like the roar of the Vikings, overwhelmingly vented. Every audience in the audience was jumping, roaring, and roaring. The astonishing sound stirred up layers of sound waves and air waves, and they were in a trance. In the meantime, you can even feel the air beginning to twist in the dark blue waves.
Lu Ke stood on the sidelines, carefully observing the Seahawks' offensive formation. The sudden noise caused goosebumps to appear on the surface of his skin, and then Lu Ke saw the tactical board in Kip Kleist's hand. Shaking slightly, he couldn't help but cast a big smile at Kip, as if he was mocking Kip for "having never seen the world."
But Kip shook his head blankly and mouthed, "I'm not shaking."
Lu Ke didn't believe it.
Kip simply handed the tactical board to Lu Ke, and Lu Ke grabbed it in his hand. He could immediately feel the slight trembling numbness passing through the tactical board to his fingertips. After calming down, he could also feel it on his toes. The slight vibration began to spread. Was this an artificial earthquake?
Lu Ke raised his head and looked at Kip in disbelief, and then saw Kip also spreading his hands with an innocent look on his face.
No matter what, what is certain now is that the Century Chain Stadium has truly given the visiting team a kick in the ass and made a strong statement: They are sure to win today!
So, will the San Francisco 49ers agree?
