"Touchdown! Bang bang!"
The concise and clear cheers burst out with incredible power, like a mushroom cloud after detonating a bomb, surging over the Candlestick Stadium. Every audience sitting in front of the TV can deeply feel the spiritual will bursting out from the inside out, let alone the audience in it.
Emma Watson stood in the VIP box above the Candlestick Stadium, quietly feeling the vibration from the air, and her heart began to surge involuntarily, but she clenched her fists tightly and tried her best Stay calm and don't let your true inner emotions leak out.
Sophie Brooke, who was standing side by side, was clapping and celebrating excitedly, and then she also shouted two cheering slogans along with the fans. Then she calmed down with a smile on her face. She looked at Emma out of the corner of her eyes, and her expression couldn't help but smile slightly. Some stiffened.
Emma came to Candlestick Stadium to watch the game in person, nominally to experience the atmosphere of the NFL in person and to warm up for the upcoming Super Bowl - she will attend the Super Bowl finals as a female ambassador, but after arriving at the scene, Emma He was always lukewarm and seemed unable to fit into the atmosphere at all, which made him seem a bit awkward.
As the assistant to the team's press officer, Sophie originally had nothing to do here, but team manager Trent Baalke and team president Jed York didn't quite know how to communicate with Emma, so they called Sophie Come over - after all, they are both women and relatively close in age. In the VIP box filled with excess male hormones, they can always find some common topics.
However, from Sophie's point of view, it is even more difficult!
"This attack is really exciting. Lu Ke's tactical layout is indeed superior." Sophie took the initiative to start the topic. Amidst the deafening shouts at the scene, she had to raise her volume and roar.
Emma showed a polite smile, but it looked more like a superficial social etiquette. There was no warmth. After a moment of pause, Emma seemed to realize that she should reply with something. After a moment of hesitation, she said , "But if he just started running the ball, wouldn't he be worried about getting injured? This is not Rugby after all, is it?"
Rugby is actually an English rugby game that later spread to the United States. After improvement and evolution, it became the current American rugby game. The rules and methods of both sports have changed dramatically, and the collision, confrontation and intensity of Rugby are superior.
Sophie didn't know how to respond, because Lu Ke's running times with the ball have been very, very few, "...this season, our offensive line has performed very well, and the pressure on Lu Ke has been very small, which makes him There are more different offensive methods. I just chose to run the ball by myself. I think Lu Ke has his own considerations."
"..." Emma was silent for a moment, and just when Sophie thought the other party would not answer, she added, "But it is still very dangerous, he should stay in the pocket. Wait, where he is standing, Is it called a pocket?"
"Yes." Sophie nodded and replied in the affirmative, but that was all, and there was silence between the two of them again, as if they could not find any topic to continue.
However, this is fine. Sophie continued to roar, and she felt a slight sting in her throat. She could rest for a while; but she became curious:
Emma looks out of place, so why is she there? Is it just for work? Then she must be working very hard.
But after a short while, the work of the special team was over, there were no accidents, and the scoreboard changed again; then the offensive opportunity came to the visiting team, and the home fans immediately switched to a different mode, and those who cheered on Became arrogant.
The Seattle Seahawks' offensive team has officially made its debut. Now they must cheer up, get rid of the powerful impact of their opponents' quick touchdowns and strong touchdowns, and immediately concentrate on their offense. Only in this way can they turn the game around. The situation stabilized. Otherwise, if the offensive team standing on the other side of the court goes crazy, things will be difficult to handle.
Russell Wilson can feel the attention from all over the world, and the pressure is increasing!
"Defense! Bang bang!"
"Defense! Bang bang!"
"Defense! Bang bang!"
The cheers of support from the entire Candlestick Stadium began to resound through the sky. Different from the crowd noise at the Century Chain Stadium, they were like a well-trained army. Their uniform shouts were vented like thunder, and the endless waves of sound and spirit were released. The waves kept coming one after another and couldn't stop at all.
That kind of shock is enough to make every offensive player on the court feel their own insignificance and humility.
Russell breathed out gently, focused all his attention, and kept telling himself: There is no need to be afraid, the more arrogant and powerful battles have been over, and now the old opponent opposite him has no fear at all. Nothing to worry about! What's more, they fell behind at the beginning, and they had already prepared themselves mentally in advance, so there was no need to be nervous. All he needed now was to follow the plan and get into the game, and that was it!
But...this is really not an easy task.
Three minutes later, Russell raised his right leg high and jumped slightly, just like the rising parabola of a rugby ball. He exerted more force with his right leg, and then looked forward to the rugby ball. A little higher, a little higher, as if just doing this can ensure the accuracy of the pass.
But Russell realized that his passing accuracy was deviated, and his connection position with wide receiver Gordon Tate was wrong. Weather reasons, prediction reasons, pocket reasons, away interference reasons...etc., etc., various and complicated reasons cannot be ignored, but the result is very simple: the pass is not on the right track.
Then, Russell saw a figure in a red jersey appear in the corresponding position. It was Darshan Goldson, the San Francisco 49ers' No. 38 safety guard who is at his peak this season. Although Tate is still He tried his best to get to the receiving position, but due to the deviation of the pass, he was still half a step behind.
"Interception!"
"Russell Wilson made an outrageous pass, and the football landed awkwardly between the wide receiver and safety. It was really hard to tell what his passing intention was! Safety Darshan Goldson sensed the crisis accurately and immediately jumped up and put the football in his arms!"
"Without a doubt, it was an interception!"
"Gordon Tate has done a great job! Tate immediately switched from offense to defense, and completed the impact and tackle on Goldson in time, preventing Goldson from launching a counterattack, and minimizing the loss of the interception!"
"But the Seattle Seahawks still failed to enter the state in this game, both the offensive team and the defensive team. In this wave of offense, Russell's performance was really disappointing, and the read option offense failed to grasp the accurate timing. , this was a very fatal error in judgment; and there was also a significant deviation in the accuracy of the pass, which seemed to be affected by the weather, and ended in an interception."
"Is it because Russell can't play when facing the San Francisco 49ers? Psychological shadow?"
Teddy, Kirk and Aikman in the studio raised an interesting topic. They just talked about it casually, but it has already exploded on social networks.
Will Russell Wilson not play against the San Francisco 49ers?
Strictly speaking, this seems to make sense. After facing the San Francisco 49ers twice at home and away this season, Russell's quarterback rating was so low that it was simply appalling; but if you think about it seriously, this seems too arbitrary. , after all, only two games are used as reference data, and the sample is still too small.
What's more, this game has only carried out two waves of offense so far, one wave for each team. It would be a bit hasty to jump to conclusions now.
However, it is undeniable that Russell's performance in the first wave of offense was indeed unsatisfactory.
Before the game, Troy Aikman was worried about the impact of the weather on passing accuracy. This is a factor that cannot be ignored.
But after the two waves of attacks, Lu Ke has not seen any obvious changes yet, while Russell's passing accuracy has already shown a lot of deviations.
Of course, the harassment of away games and the slow start of the game can be considered as influencing factors, but the hasty end of this wave of offense with interceptions is still disappointing after all.
The San Francisco 49ers offense was on the scene again, and thanks to the interception transition, they once again won an excellent offensive starting position:
Above the 43-yard line in our own half.
This means that the Seattle Seahawks defense must once again face Lu Ke's storm.
But after Lu Ke came on the stage again, he immediately realized that his stormy weather had to face another strong challenge head-on. Maybe Russell had a psychological shadow when facing the 49ers, maybe not; but it is certain. Yes, the Seahawks defense has absolutely no such problem.
Since joining the Seattle Seahawks defensive team in 2009, Gus Bradley (Gus Bradley) has spent three years working with Pete Carroll to create his ideal defensive team, and Lu Ke has been the coach of the past two years. How could he not be prepared for one of the team's biggest opponents this season?
Bradley still did not change the tactical strategy of the Seahawks' defensive team, and further increased the defensive intensity, compressing the space between the front and second lines; he still did not raid the quarterback, still cut off the ground attack, and still blasted the legion. But the intensity and rhythm have been significantly improved.
Lu Ke had just come on the field and was immediately hit by two consecutive strong pressures. The space for passing the ball became obviously bumpy and turbulent.
