Bobby Wagner was slowly retreating in small steps.
After the kickoff, Wagner's first defensive task was Marcus Lynch. When Marcus fell into the defensive circle of his teammates on the left, he adjusted his center of gravity and steps, pretending to stay where he was, but his whole body was He is ready to step back at any time to help defend, and the short and medium passing areas are both covered.
The opponent's quarterback was observing, and the quarterback was still observing. Wagner quickly turned his head and looked behind him, and the backfield pattern quickly came into view - Marcus Lynch and Ted Ginn were passing short and intermediate passes in the central zone. The zone is picking off each other, and Cam Chancellor is leaning toward his right.
Wagner made predictions based on his beast instincts, moved his steps in advance, and joined his teammates' regional defense line. In this way, no matter which direction the opponent's quarterback chooses to pass the ball, they can cut off all lines in time; further compressing the quarterback's movement space to the extreme, creating opportunities for subsequent potential raids.
However, Wagner did not retreat quickly. He always maintained a trace of vigilance and always focused his eyes on the quarterback.
At this moment, Wagner noticed the abnormality of the opponent's quarterback. As a frontline defensive player, the alarm was sounded. His first reaction was to adjust his steps and move in the direction of the quarterback like a tiger coming out of the gate. He rushed over, but his movements were still half a step slower. Just before he saw the quarterback, he had completed the starting and exerting action and started running with the ball.
Damn it!
Wagner did not sprint forward in a straight line, but adjusted his steps and created a small outflanking curve, preparing to intercept the opponent on the way forward——
The biggest difference between the quarterback holding the ball and the running back is that the quarterback looks as fragile as a crystal doll. The collision and tackle of the defensive players are fatal and very easy to be injured; so the quarterback does not They will fight head-on, but mainly use detours, and will fall to the ground immediately when in danger.
Correspondingly, when defending against the quarterback's running with the ball, the linebackers' movements and angles are more open and closed, and they do not need to care about physical confrontation. What's more, the Seattle Seahawks' linebackers are originally in a retro style of strong men, which makes them even more advantageous. Even a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, who is top-notch in running ability with the ball, can't get him. benefit.
By the way, when playing against the Washington Redskins in the wild card game, Robert Griffin III stuck to his usual playing style in the regular season. His proportion of running with the ball still accounted for the majority of the read-option offense, but he had been full before. Troubled by a minor knee injury, he still didn't restrain himself at all. So, during the game, the Seattle Seahawks defense simply "sent" Griffin off the field. I heard that the specific circumstances of the knee injury require further examination.
Now Wagner smelled a God-given opportunity. After walking around in small steps, he stared at the figure of his opponent No. 14. He gritted his teeth and tightened his muscles. If there was a chance to hit him hard, he would never miss it easily. , and then... "Here it comes!"
Wagner used two tiptoes to adjust his center of gravity and rhythm. Because No. 14's entire running with the ball was very light, he gave up the plan of forcing overtaking, and instead flew his whole body out, as if gliding in the air. Like a flying squirrel, it aimed at No. 14’s thigh in mid-air and slammed into it——
In rugby games, because the impact of the tackle is too fierce and powerful, if the tackle position is lower than the knee, it is often easy to cause very serious injuries. Generally speaking, the waist and abdomen position is the most appropriate height; at the same time, the league The official rules have strict regulations on the position of tackles. Once a foul is committed, it will be punished as severely as pulling a helmet. This is an egregious foul that offends sportsmanship.
Wagner could no longer care about this matter at this time. There was a roar of air in his ears, and he saw that the two people were about to collide with each other. Then the figure with the red jersey accelerated twice, and instantly exploded. With a huge amount of energy, he took a step towards the left outer wing.
It was just half a step, but the positions of the two people were forced to be separated. Wagner bumped into him immediately, but he couldn't hit him hard at all. He just slapped his right arm between the tight and strong thigh muscles. Then, before Wagner had time to react, he was overturned, flipped half a circle in the air, and fell to the ground awkwardly and clumsily.
Damn it!
This is hell!
Wagner only felt that the whole world was turning upside down. He only had time to quickly capture it with his peripheral vision, and then he saw the red figure staggering, but still did not fall and continued to advance. This...this...before the impact and rolling stopped, Wagner couldn't wait to start swearing.
"Can you believe it? Wow! Can you believe it!"
"Lu Ke completed his run with the ball! Again!"
"Seeing the Bombing Legion covering the entire second-line defense, Lu Ke never found too many passing opportunities. He made a prompt decision and chose to run the ball. From the timing to the route layout, it was perfect! Lu Ke was accurate. I grabbed that small opening and rushed out with my own feet!"
"Facing Bobby Wagner's sure-to-win tackle, Lu Ke instantly completed a second burst of speed, narrowly missing this strong impact, and then stumbled forward for about five yards. This was because of Bran Denbronner returned to defense and took the initiative to leave the sideline and go out of bounds. Beautiful! This is really beautiful!"
"Lu Ke relied on his own pass and ran a full fifteen yards. Not only did he successfully get the first attack conversion, but they have now immediately reached the fifteen-yard line in the opponent's half, and the end zone is already in front of them! "
"God! The San Francisco 49ers' offense after the opening kickoff was really exciting!"
Lu Ke himself chose to take the initiative to go out of bounds. Firstly, to avoid Browner's head-on collision; secondly, the first attack has been completed, there is no need to be greedy; thirdly, his own steps have already stumbled, and he is unable to follow up.
The whole running is relatively easy. After adapting and adjusting his physical fitness in the past two weeks, Lu Ke can now have more advantages when running with the ball, and even the secondary acceleration is within control. , a little risky, but overall, it still didn’t go beyond my plan.
Continue to attack the Seattle Seahawks' ground defense!
Lu Ke just wants to put on a posture of head-on confrontation. Even if he is destined to die together, he must break through from the ground, and then change his offensive plan according to the changes of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team. Today's game is definitely a battle of wisdom and calculation. Let them see who can take the lead and who can have the last laugh.
After his feet went out of bounds, Lu Ke jumped slightly on the spot twice, allowing his limbs and body muscles to relax a little. He was not nervous but excited. Today's game has just begun, and Lu Ke has already reached his best condition. He was even a little too excited that his control was a little less delicate and accurate, and he impulsively made unimaginable actions——
According to his usual style, Lu Ke would never take any risks when faced with Wagner's collision just now. If it is a long pass, Lu Ke is willing to take risks; but running with the ball is not his strength, nor is it his playing style. But... in a hot head, he did not choose to leave the sideline proactively, but chose to accelerate a second time.
According to the system display, Lu Ke's current status is 95%. This is the most direct portrayal.
Against the Seattle Seahawks, Lu Ke never lacked motivation.
Lu Ke lightly threw the football to the referee, relaxed and briskly entered the field again, called his offensive teammates over, as if the run of the ball just now had no meaning at all, and concentrated on the next attack. The tactical layout was completed again, and then the San Francisco 49ers offensive team quickly completed the formation.
When this offensive team enters a state of speed, it is fatal to any defensive team. Even the Seattle Seahawks are no different.
"attack!"
Different from the previous two times, Lu Ke, who was standing in the "I" formation, suddenly became dazzled by the kick-off slogan. Before the real slogan hidden in it could be released, the referee's whistle had already sounded——
Yellow flag entry.
The Seattle Seahawks' No. 51 rookie defensive end Bruce Irvin made an early move, and they were penalized five yards. The San Francisco 49ers went directly into the red zone, ten yards from the end zone.
Although it was just an early foul, you can still vaguely feel that the Seahawks defensive team is increasing its intensity. This does not mean that they have become impatient, but more that their desire to press forward is rising, and the smell of gunpowder for confrontation is permeating the air. For Lu Ke, this is a positive sign.
"attack!"
After re-forming the San Francisco 49ers offensive team, Lu Ke took three steps back and stood in the pistol formation. He still chose the complicated and complicated kick-off slogan, but this time there was no foul. Lu Ke did not encounter any fouls. Kick-off is announced to any obstruction.
When Lu Ke finished holding the ball with both hands, he almost adjusted his steps on the spot, raised the knife and sent the football out. The quick pass was like lightning and thunder. The defensive players could only rely on Being unable to react, there was no way to make tactical judgments. At the first moment, all the defensive players on the front and second lines were close to the players they were marking.
Who is the target of the pass?
It wasn't that the defensive players were negligent and forgot to observe the passing route; it was that the quick-action tactics didn't leave them any time to observe and could only immediately block the positions of all four defensive players.
Then, Marcus Lynch showed up.
