Lu Ke was standing on the sidelines warming up and preparing to go on stage. Then he saw the dazzling scene in front of him. Even he opened his mouth involuntarily and stared at the scene in a daze. Everything happened too fast. The entire situation was overturned in a moment of exhalation and inhalation, and then he watched the figure of No. 22 rush into the end zone.
Lu Ke laughed dumbly.
Those who are interested can check out Pete Carroll's resume. He is a coach with an authentic defensive background. He was a safety guard in college, but his qualifications were mediocre. After graduation, he entered the coaching system directly without turning professional. In 1973 He was only 22 years old when he became a coaching assistant in 2001. After that, he continued his coaching career for nearly thirty years.
Carroll served as the defensive coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 1995 to 1996, and then served as the head coach of the New England Patriots from 1997 to 1999.
Unfortunately, because the results during the Patriots' leadership were too poor and the problems in the locker room were unsatisfactory, after being replaced by Bill Belichick, he could not find a job and rested at home for nearly two years. In 2001, He came out again and served as the head coach of the University of Southern California, establishing a dynasty of his own. In 2010, he officially joined the Seattle Seahawks.
During their time at the University of Southern California, the two coaches Carroll and Hubble had a battle of wits and courage, but they actually sympathized with each other because they both belonged to the same type of people, courageous and persevering, bold and arrogant, adventurous and flamboyant; interestingly, The two people were in charge of the defensive team and the offensive team respectively, and the team they trained/coached was even more tit-for-tat.
Everyone knows that Carroll's tactics are tough and thick, and overall they are relatively retro and traditional; in sharp contrast, Hubble is agile and cunning, constantly seeking changes and innovations.
But few people know that Carroll also has his own understanding of the use of trick offense - Lu Ke had a deep understanding of this when he was still with the UCLA Bruins.
Carroll is still conservative and steady at heart. He will never take risks rashly. Instead, he will boldly take action at the magical moment of twists and turns and kill with one blow. This is almost impossible to guard against and can always ensure a very high success rate. , Contributing to the team.
This was the case with the trick attack just now.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, under such a situation, the Seattle Seahawks actually chose to force a fourth gear.
A simple analysis can be made. Before this punt, they were facing a four-speed ten-yard dilemma and were forced to punt; this means that even if Carroll chooses a trick attack, they still need to complete a fourth-speed ten-yard attack. The difficulty of yard conversion is self-evident. Once the conversion fails, the San Francisco 49ers will launch an offense on the spot, which will be even more difficult for the Seahawks.
What's even more incredible is that on a fourth-and-10-yard conversion, Carroll actually chose to hand the football to rookie running back Turbin instead of relying on Matt Flynn to complete the pass. Anytime a running back tries to gain ten yards, it's not easy. Such an unexpected, bold, and risky choice ultimately yielded the greatest rewards.
In the first wave of offense in the first half, Lu Ke chose a trick attack to start. Marcus connected with Logan, which completely disrupted the Seattle Seahawks' defensive arrangement and scored a touchdown in one go; the first wave of the second half On offense, Carroll chose to end the game with a trick offense, which also ended with a touchdown.
So, does this count as repaying the other person with his own way?
After realizing this, the smile on Lu Ke's lips rose.
"Bambi! Isn't it? You still have the heart to laugh now?" Randy Moss, who was standing next to him, was about to explode. He was walking back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, and his whole body was filled with excitement. He was furious and said angrily, "What's so funny? If they score the extra point, they'll go ahead!"
Lu Ke shrugged, "So?"
Vernon Davis was also slightly irritable, "So, for the first time in two seasons, we were behind when facing them!"
"Oh? Really?" Lu Ke asked curiously.
Is he serious? He has no idea about this. Four games in two seasons, they have maintained an advantageous situation from start to finish? This is really rare!
Seeing Lu Ke's understatement, both Vernon and Moss felt that they were about to have a myocardial infarction, and they felt a sigh of relief in their chests. They were really depressed.
Lu Ke patted his teammates on the shoulders and said, "What's there to worry about? Let's complete another touchdown and regain the advantage, isn't that enough? Let's go, we are about to get ready to go on stage."
Because Lu Ke's tone was so matter-of-fact and calm, as if he was searching for something, Vernon and Moss couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
After the two people exchanged a glance, they both looked away and looked at the court, but their expressions invariably softened.
They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for many years, but they are not as experienced and calm as a sophomore at critical moments. Perhaps, deep down in their hearts, they all care too much and worry too much about gains and losses. Now, the second half has just begun. There is no need to start thinking randomly because of a trick attack by the opponent. The key is to focus on the next game.
The random thoughts in his mind were completely cleared, and his attention was focused on the game again.
"Attack! Bang bang!"
"Attack! Bang bang!"
"Attack! Bang bang!"
The entire Candlestick Stadium resounded with uniform cheers, causing ripples like thunder on the eardrums. Before he realized it, his blood began to boil again, and the burst of adrenaline was like the most beautiful symphony. Played deep in the soul.
Emma Watson subconsciously turned her head to look at Sophie Brooke beside her, but noticed that Sophie's focused eyes were shining with confidence and power, and she didn't seem to be worried at all about the team's lagging situation. , that firm belief made Emma swallow the words that came to her mouth again, and look at the court again. Thoughtful.
The San Francisco 49ers offense is back on the field.
There were no mistakes in the Seattle Seahawks' extra points. At "20:21", the away Seahawks overtook the score for the first time in the entire game. Although the 49ers had the advantage after the start of the second half, it was the 49ers who took the lead to complete the touchdown. It's the Seahawks, and now this game is truly getting into the nail-biting phase.
Although all the fans were cheering for the home team, the visiting team's morale and spirit reached a new high. A cunning trick attack not only teased the home team's special team, but also successfully achieved a lead, especially when the home team's defensive team's morale continued. It is even more meaningful that it was completed under the difficult situation of climbing.
After the game started again, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line encountered a severe pressure test.
Ten yards in first gear.
Lu Ke handed the football to Frank Gower, who came on the rotation, but Gower ran straight into a wall and was not able to win much room to advance. He just relied on the bulldozer-like advance of the offensive line to advance. Just two yards.
Eight yards in second gear.
Lu Ke quickly kicked off the ball and passed the ball quickly, and instantly found Moss in the short passing area, but Moss was surrounded by three players. Frontal confrontation with his body is not Moss's strong point. His footsteps Before he could use it, he was tackled to the ground and only advanced three yards.
Third gear and five yards.
After the kickoff, Lu Ke was observing the passing target in his pocket, but before he could take action, the referee stopped the game. Vernon Davis and Richard Sherman had a physical conflict, and the result was Vernon's. For a helmet pulling foul, the San Francisco 49ers were penalized ten yards and forced a third down play.
Fifteen yards in third gear.
During the game, everything developed so quickly. Before they had time to breathe, they were already trapped in three extremely long yards. The offense was still the same offense, and the defense was still the same defense. But deviations in details and shifts in morale put both sides in different positions.
But this is not a crisis for Lu Ke, but an excitement. The thrilling moment came again. The more dangerous it was, the calmer he became. He didn't think this was the end of the world.
Lu Ke still completed the tactical arrangement in an orderly manner.
Before the official kick-off, Lu Ke was still carefully reading the defensive formation. A thought flashed through his mind. He caught it firmly, then stood up straight again and began to shout to the left and right sides. He shouted, "Fifteen! Fifteen! Fifteen!" followed by another burst of tactical slogans, and then he bent down again.
Fifteenth. This seems to be the back number of the jersey. The San Francisco 49ers' No. 15 is Michael Crabtree, while the Seattle Seahawks' food number is Matt Flynn; obviously, if it refers to a specific player, it can only be Crabtree. Terry, as if Lu Ke was reminding Crabtree to change his running route.
But the problem is that the quarterback's tactics cannot be so simple and crude. If his tactical intentions are exposed, it will be a disaster for the offensive team. What's more, the quarterback standing on the opposite side is a well-known master of tactical games in the entire league. Is it possible for him to make such a low-level mistake?
So, fifteen doesn’t refer specifically to Crabtree, but to the route running? Or a crossover route? Lu Ke kept emphasizing the same number over and over again. Is this a smoke bomb or a change in tactics? Or is it purely to confuse the defensive players' thinking?
Lu Ke didn't give him any more time and made a prompt decision to announce the kick-off!
Holding the ball in both hands, he quickly retreated, taking only two steps. After adjusting his body slightly, he watched Gaoer rush over laterally, but Lu Ke raised his hand and completed the pass! It's not a fake move, it's actually a quick pass, which means it's a short pass!
In an instant, the entire short passing area surged like a hurricane passing through, but the next second the defensive players realized: What? Not a short pass!
