At this moment, the San Francisco 49ers are facing a third-down touchdown situation.
On the right side, defensive end Bruce Irvin, who suddenly took action, was pushing the opposing offensive tackle Alex Boone on the same side. He was moving forward forcefully and quickly, as if he was beating an ox from a distance, and he charged towards Lu Ke unreasonably. Coming over, Boone was trying his best to block Irvin's position, but he was losing ground due to losing the opportunity. He could only barely maintain his blocking position to prevent Irvin from directly launching a sack.
Seeing this, Lu Ke had to move his steps and pull sideways to the other side.
On the left, the two linebackers Leroy Hill and Bobby Wagner both gave up ground defense and chose to retreat, joining Brandon Browner and Cam Chancellor to launch a zone defense with four people. Three players, Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree and Ted Ginn, were stuck in position.
During the rapid movement, Lu Ke noticed the footsteps of safety guard Earl Thomas. He was moving towards the central area. His sight was already aimed at Ted Ginn, who was cutting into the end zone. He instantly created a three-man defense. In a trap, Jean is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with nowhere to escape.
A fleeting thought immediately made a judgment. Lu Ke's footsteps were still moving laterally. At the same time, his upper body had completed a 60-degree twist on the right side. With a slight glance, he saw the man with Richard. Sherman set up one-on-one with Logan Newman and delivered the football immediately.
Sherman blocked Logan's position, and kept pushing his shoulders against Logan's shoulder sockets and creaking holes. He also continued to push and push with his hands, disrupting Logan's forward rhythm. Seeing that the football had been teleported, Sherman's hands suddenly increased strength, exerting all his strength on his palms, and rushed towards Logan fiercely.
As Logan's feet continued to sprint, the sudden impact, center of gravity and rhythm were inevitably affected, but his upper body remained stable, completely ignoring Sherman's defense, staring at the football intently, stretching out With both hands, stretch your palms and try to touch the football with your fingertips, and then complete the ball.
But...the football just slipped past the fingertips. A slight difference can lead to a loss of thousands of miles.
The next moment, Logan was unable to maintain the balance of his body after all, and his whole body flew out heavily, splashing up a large amount of grass clippings.
"The Seattle Seahawks defensive team successfully completed this defense! Based on the original defensive tactics, the Seahawks coaching staff made subtle adjustments on the spot, rearranged the defensive front line formations, and successfully split the defense. It broke the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line pocket and put unprecedented passing pressure on Lu Ke."
"At the same time, the defensive second line completely blocked all passing routes. Almost every receiving player was in a bad situation of one versus two. Only Logan Newman and Richard Sherman, who were far away from Lu Ke's sight, formed a bad situation. One-on-one. But even with such a fleeting little gap, Lu Ke still successfully captured it and completed the pass at the critical moment!"
"However, Sherman's defensive intensity was still better. He suppressed Newman's explosive start with one shot in advance, and almost destroyed this pass! It was only less than half a palm's distance away, and Newman finally I still missed this touchdown catch! Wow, this is really exciting! The offense is beautiful! The defense is even more beautiful!”
"The Seattle Seahawks defense finally showed its strongest strength in the league!"
Just now, after Dashon Goldson completed the interception, the San Francisco 49ers won the kickoff position near midfield. This is undoubtedly a God-given opportunity for the home team. If they can make another victory and directly widen the score gap, then In this game, you will take more initiative and be able to fully use your hands and feet.
In this regard, the Seattle Seahawks also have the same understanding.
Therefore, after a short adjustment, the defensive team quickly improved its condition. Bradley, the defensive team coach of the Seattle Seahawks, still did not change the tactics, but further pushed their tactical system to the extreme:
The first and second offense completely gave up the plan to raid the quarterback, and there were no tactical changes without warning; correspondingly, the ground defense and the second line defense received more troops.
The main thing is the change in the tactical roles of the two outside linebackers.
The two outside linebackers, K.J. Wright and Leroy Hill, retreated slightly in their defensive positions and mainly focused on short passing areas, freeing up the coverage of safety guard Cam Chancellor. Originally, the four explosive Legion The second line guarding now has six players deployed on the three lines of short passing, medium passing and long passing, further unleashing the power of the regional defense strategy.
At the same time, all the pressure on the ground defense was borne by the defensive front and inside linebacker Bobby Wagner. Even defensive end Bruce Irvin, the only defensive end with the ability to raid the quarterback, stayed at his position conscientiously. After giving up the raid tactics, the five Players build an impenetrable wall.
Basically, relying on the physical advantages of weight and size, he builds a dam that is enough to intercept the savage beasts, suffocating all possible breakthroughs in the middle; then Wagner is responsible for marking the running back. When the running back chooses to break through from both sides, he will follow suit. Complete the interception.
As a result, more than 80% of the ground attacks will be difficult to achieve a breakthrough; what about the remaining 20%? If the running back still successfully finds a way to advance, Wagner will take the position immediately, and then the two outside linebackers will retreat from the short passing area to help defend and stop the loss as soon as possible. The ground attack will still be difficult to open up the situation.
The front line is a single-minded ground defense, and the backfield is a dense pass defense. The Seattle Seahawks' entire defensive intensity and density have increased.
Of course, that doesn't mean they're watertight.
Offense and defense are originally a process of calculating each other, breaking through and confronting each other. Lu Ke still relies on his defensive reading and tactical layout, and the most important thing is his on-the-spot reading ability to find room for continuous advancement in the stormy sea. Despite the advancement The speed gradually slowed down, but it still successfully advanced into the red zone.
Unfortunately, the red zone offense failed to capture the bridgehead.
In the third touchdown attack just now, defensive end Bruce Irvin suddenly launched a pass rush strategy, strongly pushing Alex Boone to try to complete the sack, and under the strict ground defensive cover, further gave Lu Ke's pass applied pressure, and then the zone defense in the end zone reached trypophobia levels.
Even in the face of such a severe situation, Logan still tore out an invisible receiving space, and Lu Ke also incredibly captured the passing route that was almost a visual blind spot. Unfortunately, it was just a little bit short.
strike out.
After finally attacking the red zone, he still unfortunately struck out and was unable to maximize the counterattack effect after the interception.
After Richard Sherman completed the key defense, he beat his chest as hard as King Kong and vented his emotions heartily. This is his true level. He has been unleashed throughout the league throughout the season. But every time I meet the San Francisco 49ers, I feel so frustrated. All that anger and depression can finally be released now.
Sherman turned around and roared wildly in the direction of Lu Ke. He was about to step forward to talk some trash and stimulate Lu Ke, but he didn't expect that Lu Ke actually turned around and left. Already...
Lu Ke didn't notice Sherman's actions at all. He was leaving the court and thinking about it carefully, not in frustration, but in reflection.
As expected, there was still a slight deviation in the control of the pass this time. Today's rugby leather is generally a bit harder, but it is not as good as last year's "Chicken Soup Battle" and this year's Battle of Fox Castle. Overall, Lu Ke still focuses on control, but now it seems that the control details at critical moments still need to be adjusted. This is also one of the signs of lack of experience.
Deviations in details resulted in the failure of this attack to be accomplished overnight. Next, Lu Ke must avoid this.
After thinking about it, Lu Ke trotted towards the side of the court. After high-fiving David Akins to cheer him up, he came to the side of the court. Instead of opening the tactical manual as usual, he began to practice passing and receiving on the spot. Depending on the feel of the ball, the strength of your fingertips and wrists need to be adjusted.
Sherman stood there, with a breath stuck in his chest. He could neither spit it out nor spit it out. He was so aggrieved that he finally left the court cursing. The game had just begun. If he copied I intercepted Lu Ke two or three times, and then we will see if Lu Ke can continue to be proud and proud!
We’ll see!
Although he failed to score a touchdown, Akens led the special team and kicked the 23-yard free kick steadily. The score on the field came to "10:0". San Francisco 49 at home. People are still steadily getting into the game.
It can be clearly noticed that the Seattle Seahawks defensive team is speeding up and showing its hard power. Later, the Seattle Seahawks offensive team also seemed to be inspired, and the overall performance began to show signs of recovery. The divisional competition finally looked like a divisional competition. , the specific performance lies in the ground attack of Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch.
About seven minutes later, this heavy and slow, tossing and tough attack finally found a glimmer of hope, opening up the situation with a solid and strong ground attack——
"Touchdown! Marshawn Lynch completed a two-yard touchdown run! The Seattle Seahawks finally broke the deadlock at the end of the first quarter! Now the score gap quickly narrowed, and the duel between the two teams began to become fierce. Woke up!"
