During the 2012 season, when any team mentions the Seattle Seahawks defense, they will shake their heads slightly helplessly.
Although the Seahawks defense has just grown up this season, it has already initially shown strong strength, which is a difficult problem for any quarterback:
The ground attack cannot open up the situation and is forced to fall into the passing rut. The Blast Legion's individual combat capabilities are particularly outstanding, which often does not leave many gaps; if you are not careful, you will have to face the opponent's surprise attack tactics. , this is completely besieged on all sides and in panic.
The reason why Lu Ke was able to win was precisely because he made a fuss about passing——
Now that the opponent has strengthened its ground attack, abandoned its surprise strategy, and clearly asked the quarterback to pass the ball; Lu Ke accepted it unceremoniously, and then repeatedly relied on tactical layout and on-the-spot changes to disrupt the entire offensive passing plan, and He repeatedly uses his feints to deceive his opponents, creating more space for his players to receive the ball, and creating more matchup advantages in individual battles.
To put it simply, Lu Ke is calculating every pass in every attack. His whole brain is calculating all the time, constantly looking for gaps. If it doesn't work once, then twice, if it doesn't work twice, then three times. , even if he cannot find a gap, he must use his ability to force the opponent's defensive front line to rush out and try to surprise the quarterback. Only in this way can he disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm.
For Lu Ke, playing against the Seattle Seahawks is like a math problem. He is always calculating and counter-calculating, and the consumption of energy is far more severe than physical strength.
In addition, in Lu Ke's view, the Seattle Seahawks defensive team is not impeccable.
On the defensive front, more depends on the cooperation of the players. Each player's personal ability is relatively not that outstanding, so rookie linebacker Wagner can shine.
In the last week of the regular season, defensive end Chris Clemens suffered an injury and was reimbursed for the season. Unfortunately, he missed the playoffs. He was replaced by Bruce Irvin (bruceirv), the 15th overall pick in the first round of this year. He often appears in rotation during the game. His body shape is basically the same as Clemens and can be regarded as a matchup substitution.
But Irvin's impact is far inferior to Clemens - he still needs time to grow up.
On the defensive second line, Brandon Browner has been plagued by injuries. Compared with Sherman, his condition is still unstable; the defensive blocking between Chancellor and Thomas is not seamless. It may be caught by Lu Ke. Not to mention a genius like Moss who breaks the zone defense, even a player like Hall who runs the route step by step can create miracles.
In other words, Lu Ke clearly understands that the Seattle Seahawks can rank first in the league in defense. ,
In the sixteenth week of the regular season, after the Seattle Seahawks defensive team came up, the first defense chose to raid the quarterback, catching Lu Ke off guard. It can be seen that they have been studying the San Francisco 49ers' offensive routine. There is also Lu Ke's passing habit. In today's game, Pete Carroll is obviously not sitting still.
Therefore, after walking onto the court, the first thing Lu Ke did was to take a look at the opponent's starting lineup. From the corner of his eye, he saw Richard Sherman making moves——
Sherman deliberately clenched his right hand into a fist, and then moved it sideways and left and right next to his right cheek. At the same time, following the rhythm of his right hand, he pushed his right cheek up with his tongue, simulating a very inelegant movement and saying with his mouth. , "Come here and blow..." He didn't say anything else, he just pushed his lower body.
After finishing, Sherman turned around triumphantly, faced Lu Ke with his buttocks, and twisted. In order to anger Lu Ke and ridicule Lu Ke, he also took great pains.
The problem is that Lu Ke didn't pay attention to Sherman at all. His eyes only paused for a moment, and then moved to other players again. His mind remained calm at all times, and he quickly verified it with the data of all the game videos during this period. Then he started communicating with Hubble and immediately turned around to prepare tactics.
As for Sherman...the clown is always lonely, and he enjoys himself without an audience.
Lu Ke knelt down on one knee in the center of the circle surrounded by his teammates and completed the tactical arrangement - or in other words, a tactical change! When all the arrangements were completed, Lu Keping stretched out his right hand and said loudly, "Today is the first game. We are here to fight!"
The first game is said to be the first game of the playoffs, but the real implication is that it starts from scratch. They must take off the burden of a perfect season.
Fighting, rather than winning, actually implies that they must maintain a high level of concentration.
A simple mobilization slogan is an art of speaking. It is also an essential skill for every team's spiritual leader. Lu Ke is now growing up bit by bit, and finally said neatly, "I Ready!" That determined and high-spirited gaze fell on his teammates one by one.
One after another, everyone overlapped their palms, "On the count of three, I shout 'keep' and you shout 'fight'. One! Two! Three!"
"fighting!"
"Never stop!"
The San Francisco 49ers offense quickly completed the formation.
The offensive line is still the one that has risen strongly this season. After two seasons of unremitting training and training and command by Lu Ke, he now finally has a solid and stable pocket protection; at the same time, Lu Ke Ke's footwork and running and passing skills are also growing rapidly. At the end of the season, the number of quarterback sacks released by the San Francisco 49ers was the lowest in the league.
Jonathan Goodwin is at center, Joe Stanley and Mike Rupatti are on the left, and Anthony Davis and Alex Boone are on the right.
The receiving corps remains the same as it was at the start of the season, with Ted Ginn paired with Randy Moss and Vernon Davis paired with Logan Newman.
Because Michael Crabtree has just debuted as a returner and is currently on a rest; and AJ Jenkins is still not capable enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of opening the game, so Hubble has arranged such a starting lineup - this is obviously also in the Seattle Sea Eagle formed his troops as expected.
The final running back is Marcus Lynch.
In a daze, it seems like we are back at the beginning of the season, nothing has changed, but after going through a whole season, can things remain exactly the same?
The "i" formation, the two-by-two formation.
The San Francisco 49ers offense set up a traditional ball-running formation. Lu Ke stood behind Goodwin and began to read the defense according to his game habits. His unhurried and calm demeanor seemed to be waiting for something, and then The cheers and cheers in the Candlestick Stadium gradually calmed down, and suddenly there was an absolute silence at a certain moment, and Lu Ke's kick-off slogan was clearly conveyed:
"attack!"
Holding the ball in both hands, he stepped back and turned around. Lu Ke threw the football to Marcus without any hesitation.
There was nothing fancy or any pretense. Lu Ke looked as if he didn't seriously consider the movement and status of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team at all. He handed the football to Marcus immediately and decisively. This was a running tactic!
But just as Lu Ke turned around, the entire offensive team staggered to the left and right. The offensive line moved quickly to the right, and Marcus moved laterally to the left. Only Lu Ke stayed where he was, looking down from above. It looks like two trains passing by each other, one to the left and one to the right, changing the trend of the entire venue.
The Seattle Seahawks' defensive line subconsciously followed the offensive line to move laterally to their left; the first reaction of the linebackers was the same, but before they had time to move, Hill and Wagner both He sprinted towards his right side, following Marcus's movements step by step.
In terms of ground defense, the Seahawks are still watertight.
Immediately, Hill and Wagner had cut off Marcus's forward route, but before they had time to take a vertical step forward and were still moving horizontally, Marcus stopped and did A passing action was made——
Trick attack!
The Seattle Seahawks defensive team immediately became alert. In the past two seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have used this backpass trick to achieve many successful advances. All eyes immediately focused on Lu Ke. It was obvious that It is noticed that the Seahawks' frontline defensive players are taking steps forward, and the second-line explosive team is also adjusting their positions.
Then, Marcus passed the ball!
Instead of passing the ball backwards, pass it forward.
Just like a real quarterback, pass the ball forward and complete the offense!
After a pause, it was obvious that the Seattle Seahawks' defensive team had no time to adjust its focus and was out of position. No matter how outstanding the ability of the Legion was, they were not superhuman. What's more, Marcus chose the 49ers' left side, which is the Seahawks' right side. The cornerback on this side is Browner and the safety is Chancellor, which is a relatively weak side.
Then they saw the football gently draw an arc, past Hill and Wagner, who were about to rush forward, and fell towards... towards the inside area of about eight or nine yards.
Of course, Marcus' passing accuracy cannot be compared with Lu Ke's. He is just the simplest pass, but it is enough for the passing target.
Everyone thought that Marcus would definitely choose Moss as the passing target - because at this time Moss had already rushed fifteen yards and was still pulling away, completely getting rid of Chancellor's personal marking; but However, Marcus chose a safe and conservative plan and pursued it with the success rate first. He found Logan!
Logan paused and turned around, holding the football in his arms with both hands raised high.
