The reason why the San Francisco 49ers' offensive running routes are so good is not only because Jim Hubble can always bring innovations in formations and route combinations, but also because the intricate route running in the basic formation can often be used on the ground. Ke's high-speed operation is transformed into an advantage.
Such as now.
On the outside of the right wing, Logan gave up the opportunity to confront cornerback Sherman, sprinted forward for five yards, and then began to turn and run back, seemingly preparing to complete the ball near the sideline area.
On the inside of the right wing, Gene deliberately wandered in the short passing area, constantly going back and forth in the space of about five yards, tangled with outside linebacker Wright, and seemed to be waiting for something.
On the inside of the left wing, Vernon simply stayed where he was, standing on the outside of the offensive line. After deliberately delaying two beats, he slowly rushed out and formed a confrontation with outside linebacker Hill.
On the outside of the left wing, Crabtree was the most aggressive and fastest player. He rushed forward unmoved, his steps slightly moving towards the left sideline, creating a small arc.
And Goyle cannot be forgotten.
Gao Er's footsteps were right behind Lu Ke, moving back and forth left and right. It seemed that he might rush out to either side at any time, but he was not in a hurry, but waited for Lu Ke to retreat and pass him. After that, he rushed out towards the slot space on the right side, speeding up instantly. The momentum was even more obvious than Crabtree's, and he formed a staggered momentum with Jean.
The five players arrived at five positions respectively, with different speeds, rhythms and routes. They combined fast and slow, far and near, and offensive players could be found in three areas: left, center and right. They were completely unpredictable and unpredictable. Judgment.
In a passive situation, the Seattle Seahawks defense could only react reflexively: the two security guards Chancellor and Thomas had already rushed forward quickly to their left side, because the cross steps of Gene and Gall were full of danger. Confusing and deceptive, coupled with Vernon in the center and Sherman's quick return to defense, the threat on this side is really too brutal.
It seems very long to describe, but in fact it is just a moment of kick-off. Earth-shaking changes have taken place in a mere second. After Lu Ke completed the step back, he completed the judgment with a quick sweep of his eyes and raised his hand. The knife landed to complete the pass.
The rugby ball drew a small arc in the air, quickly passed over the heads of many players, crossed the short passing area and then advanced towards the depth of the mid-passing area, but... this was not a pass from the right, but from the left. The pass, in other words, is the right direction of the Seattle Seahawks——
Crabtree and Broner formed a one-on-one duel!
…
Crabtree's running route is the simplest. He rushes forward in a straight line, relying on his body's advantage to create a powerful force to break through the air. He advances forward like a steamroller; Browner, who is defending against him, does not dare to In a head-on confrontation, you can only constantly adjust your steps to block Crabtree's forward space, and prepare to step up to complete the defense when Crabtree catches the ball.
But unexpectedly, Crabtree saw that the distance between the two people was getting closer, and suddenly accelerated instantly. The full release of short-range explosive power allowed Crabtree to immediately cross Bronner's blocking position; Bronner only He had time to raise his hands to make a blocking gesture, but was unable to touch the opponent's jersey at all. The two people just passed each other.
This immediately alerted Bronner.
Years of experience in racing played an important role. Although Broner is no longer in his prime due to health and condition, his eight-year track resume still allowed him to make the right judgment, turn around quickly, and then I saw the rugby ball being teleported through a small arc.
Browner adjusted his steps, jumped on the spot, and stretched out his right hand with all his strength, trying to intercept the football's passing route and slap the football away, but his fingertips were stretched as hard as possible, and all the energy of the body muscles was exhausted. Already breaking out, but could only watch helplessly as the rugby glided past.
If Browner and Irving communicate after the game, the two people will definitely feel the same way: that pass seems to be within reach, but in fact there is no chance. They can only watch the football slide over their heads. This precision of calculation and control is exactly the embodiment of the quarterback's excellent control of the entire court space.
The brown-red football easily passed Browner's interception, then quickly fell and found Crabtree two steps away.
It was a left side pass of about sixteen yards.
However, in order to control the arc, Lu Ke pushed a little further away. The confrontation position between the wide receiver and the cornerback was about twelve or thirteen yards away. This allowed the football to still avoid it during the fall. Broner's interception; similarly, this also means that Crabtree's footsteps are still not in place.
So, the San Francisco 49ers' No. 15 wide receiver was half a beat slower than Browner, jumped up calmly, and took one step ahead of the football's continuous downward curve. He accurately picked off the football and finished it firmly with both hands. Control, but before his body could feel the huge pull of gravity, he saw another white figure rushing towards him quickly.
It's Cam Chancellor.
Because Lu Ke's passing speed was so fast, only about 188 seconds, the entire thinking speed of the defensive players could not keep up with the rhythm, and they could only be pulled to move like a marionette.
Chancellor and Thomas had just switched their focus and headed towards Gene and Gall; then they caught Lu Ke's passing movement, and reflexively, they forcibly changed their body center of gravity and stumbled towards He rushed over to where Crabtree and Bronner were -
Otherwise, all Crabtree has to do is get out of Browner's defense, and the Seahawks' side of the ball will be completely empty.
In such a crisis situation, the Seattle Seahawks' talent for blasting the Legion was precisely demonstrated. In a completely passive situation, Chancellor and Thomas abruptly completed the change of direction, and released their speed and agility to The second playback was launched at an unprecedented high speed.
Not only the two safety guards, but also the outside linebacker Hill also realized the serious crisis, got rid of the defending Vernon, quickly started and started the replay. But Hill's talent and condition were obviously not as good as those of the two members of the Legion of Detonation, and he couldn't keep up. Although he was still working hard, he was still far away from the confrontation circle.
Chancellor's position was close to the center, and he was the first defensive player to arrive.
…
Seeing Crabtree jump up and complete the catch, Chancellor had no time to destroy the pass, so he simply flew sideways and tried to grab Crabtree's waist in mid-air to complete the defense; but His feet had just left the ground, and from the corner of his vision, he could see that Browner, who had lost his center of gravity, was still trying his best to complete the defense——
After Browner jumped up, he unfortunately failed to swat away the football, but his entire body weight fell backwards. He simply started waving his hands without stopping, trying to swat Crabtree's Use your hands to destroy the ball before the opponent completes control of the football, and the whole person will collapse like a domino.
Everything happens in a flash of lightning.
Browner hit Crabtree first.
Crabtree flew out immediately afterwards.
Chancellor rushed over the next second.
By some mistake, Chancellor's tackle was out of position, and he failed to complete the tackle. Instead, he bumped into Crabtree's body like a shoulder, but the strength was not combined tightly. , relying purely on the inertia of the body being thrown, the force was attached to Crabtree's body, and the main force hit Browner instead.
One vertically and one horizontally, but the superposition of the two forces seemed to be somewhat offset. Crabtree flew diagonally backward. The distance was not far, only about two steps, but the huge pressure on the muscles caused the body to start Trembling slightly, his feet immediately felt the strong reaction force from the ground.
Crabtree staggered back continuously, his steps were completely messed up, and he could only rely on instinctive reactions to adjust.
During the stumble, Crabtree used the strength of his waist and abdomen to control his body to avoid the pull of the back seat of his center of gravity. However, because the force of the collision was too fierce, his hands seemed to exert too much force, so that the football slipped out. It hit the palm of your hand and started bouncing on your fingertips like a bouncing ball.
Nightmare repeating itself?
All the muscles in Crabtree's body were tense. He didn't recall those buttery moments in the regular season at all. To be precise, there were no extraneous thoughts in his entire brain, and he was completely focused on his catching the ball. On top of movement and footwork adjustments.
After the football was out of the control of his hands, he tried his best to open his palms, and like a clown juggling tossing the ball, he gently picked up the football, once, and again...
In this pass, the force attached to Lu Ke was not too fierce in the first place. Now it is more due to the superposition of collision forces that caused the release. Now, under Crabtree's patient adjustment, the rotation and power of the football are It started to become supple, and then Crabtree grabbed the football firmly with his right hand!
Nightmare?
nonexistent!
But the football had just regained control, and Thomas, who was following closely behind him, had already appeared in Crabtree's sight. The tide of defense was still not over. It was definitely not an illusion that the Legion of Boom could make a name for itself in the entire league. It has its name! A second collision and a second confrontation are just around the corner!
