In the 2011 season, the San Francisco 49ers showed a dark horse status. They returned to the playoffs after eight years and were ranked the second seed in the National League. They faced the New Orleans Saints in the divisional round. The two teams dedicated their lives. The best game of the entire season was inextricably fought to the last moment, and with Lu Ke's winning touchdown, they advanced to the National League finals.
In the 2012 season, the San Francisco 49ers swept all 16 games in the regular season, entered the playoffs for the second consecutive year, and ranked as the top seed in the National League. In the divisional round, the team faced the rival Seattle Seahawks in the same district. Showing strong strength and profound foundation, they harvested victory with an unparalleled huge advantage and reached the National League finals again.
In just two seasons, the San Francisco 49ers' radical changes have shocked the entire league. As Troy Aikman said during the commentary, this team has truly shown its championship appearance!
Of course, it is meaningless to compare the two division games horizontally. After all, many factors such as opponents, status, strength, etc. have changed, and there is no comparison. Although both games ended in victory for the San Francisco 49ers, the process and results were completely different.
However, what is certain is that facing the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers are still very comfortable. The "minimum consumption" they called out because of the endless duel between their mortal enemies in the same district, unexpectedly, has become a curse. , and this continued from the regular season to the playoffs.
"48:21".
In all five games in the two seasons, the San Francisco 49ers offense was still able to score at least 35 points against the Seattle Seahawks defense. Such a record is really shocking, no matter which opponent is standing on the opposite side. , and after the cover exploded the strong rise of the Legion this season, the lowest consumption record became even more incredible.
In fact, when the game entered the second half of the fourth quarter, it was already garbage time. When Lu Ke and Logan connected again to achieve a touchdown, the game had lost its suspense. This is for Seattle Seahawks fans It was a torture for twelve people.
For this divisional match, many fans traveled all the way from Seattle to San Francisco, hoping to show support for their team at the scene, and even witness their team defeat their rivals in the same division on the road. According to incomplete statistics , more than 5,000 fans arrived in San Francisco. Although they knew that they could not buy away tickets, they still came to San Francisco without hesitation.
The loyalty of the Twelve is unquestionable.
Many fans hope to enter Candlestick Park to watch the game, but during today's game, the number of Niners in Candlestick Park was too large. More than 100,000 Niners poured into Candlestick Park. Compared to 12 people, With an absolute advantage, in the face of the previous accident at Century Chain Stadium, the San Francisco 49ers officials did not dare to take risks and discussed with the Seattle Seahawks officials:
Either open an area in the corner of Candlestick Park to allow twelve people to watch the game; or let the twelve people leave the dense area of Candlestick Stadium and watch the game in other corners of the city at will.
Although this is unfair, it is the best way to avoid accidents. San Francisco 49ers team officials are doing their best to ensure the game goes as smoothly as possible.
The Seattle Seahawks did not dare to take risks and finally chose the latter. Twelve people were scattered in different corners of San Francisco and gathered in bars to start the game.
But such loyalty and enthusiasm gradually evolved into a kind of torture as the game progressed. The higher the expectations, the more disappointed. The emotions of the twelve people gradually died down and even started to get angry. Many fans were in the fourth quarter. At the end of the game, I left the bar and the city, choosing to leave the field.
A small number of fans who still stayed in the bar to watch the game started to cause trouble after the game.
"Joe's Bar" located in the Italian Quarter of San Francisco is undoubtedly one of the most famous bars among the Nine. A group of loyal and fanatical fans gather here year-round to watch games collectively, every game day, home and away. There is no exception. For any newly promoted nine people who want to find a partner, this is the best choice.
Today is no exception.
The nine people who were unable to buy tickets gathered at "Joe's Bar" and celebrated with joy, singing and drinking. However, after the game, something unexpected happened.
Anthony Tinoso was wiping the beer glass, and the rag in his hand seemed to have never stopped. He did not join the carnival in front of him, but always watched the fans' party with a smile on his face, and his cheerful and joyful mood was rolling. Boiling, days like this seem to have become a habit, but he will never get tired of it.
The San Francisco 49ers once again entered the conference finals, and they still humiliated their rivals in the same district at home with an absolutely strong attitude. This kind of game and this kind of life are really too beautiful, even Joe Mon The glory days of Tanner and Steve Young as the team's starting quarterbacks now seem to have faded.
Thinking of this, Anthony couldn't help but smile: If the two celebrities, Montana and Young, knew about it, they would be jealous, and then scolded "a group of guys who like the new and hate the old", and couldn't help but smile after just thinking about the situation.
"Guys! Guys!" Anthony shouted.
The entire bar was cheering and celebrating wantonly, and the thunderous sound spread outside the bar, echoing with the residents of the entire block, spreading the wave of the party towards the entire city. But after hearing Anthony's call, the old friends and old friends paused their movements and looked away.
Then he saw Anthony raising the bar in his hand, "I'll treat you to the next round!"
"Boom!" All the fans began to roar, banging and banging on the table, and then they were still shouting "Ho ho ho" in their mouths, like the war cry of the Vikings, dull but loud and exciting. , burst out a powerful momentum, and the waves rolled out.
Such a scene is so wonderful that people can't help but be addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
About two dozen fans wearing Seattle Seahawks jerseys burst into the bar and swarmed in like a torrent. They held baseball bats in their hands and aggressively interrupted the celebration atmosphere. Two of them swaggered. He walked towards the bar and placed the baseball bat heavily on the bar counter, "Here! A glass of beer for each person! And a glass of whiskey!"
The remaining twelve people stood in the center of the bar, looking around at the other nine people in the bar. Their sharp and fierce eyes showed bad intentions, and you could smell the alcohol on them from a long distance away. He was angry and looked like he had been drinking for several rounds. His red eyes were boldly challenging the patience and bottom line of every fan around him.
The bright red 49ers jersey and the calm blue Seahawks jersey formed two natural groups. They continued to collide with each other like flames and oceans. The tense atmosphere became more and more tense, even making everyone present. They couldn't help but stop the movements in their hands, and slowly began to gather, sparks were flying, and they were about to explode.
But obviously, it is the twelve Seahawks fans who have the upper hand now!
Because of the importance of today's game, most of the young fans went to Candlestick Park. The nine people staying in the bar now are all older uncles, and even grandfathers. They cannot be said to be old, weak, sick, or disabled, but they are indeed They were indeed logistical troops with worrisome combat effectiveness. They considered that a special trip to the Candlestick Stadium would be too exhausting, so they chose to watch the game in a bar near the street.
In stark contrast are Seahawks fans. All the people who came all the way from Seattle to San Francisco to watch the game were young, vigorous and energetic young people. They were all like wolves and tigers, with outstanding fighting ability. After drinking several rounds of alcohol, they were full of anger and passion. He suddenly became careless and indifferent. This attitude made it clear that he was just here to find trouble and come to kick the club.
Seeing this, Anthony, a tough-tempered man, said, "I won't sell it!"
The twelve people in front of them were waiting for an opportunity to attack. Now seeing Anthony's attitude, the two people at the bar looked at each other, grabbed baseball bats and started to hit the bar fiercely, "Why? Are there any special regulations here? Can't you sell us wine? With your service attitude, are you deliberately stirring up trouble?"
Anthony raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "Why, are today's young people so stupid? After making it clear that they come to pick trouble, you still have to find a reason? Do you think I am too stupid to see it, or are you just that person? So stupid? How dare you seek trouble here in San Francisco?"
"Bang!" Anthony slammed the beer glass in his hand on the table as he spoke, "If all fans are like you and can't afford to lose, then there won't be competition in competitive sports, just who has the biggest fist. Good! The team is embarrassed on the court and the fans are embarrassed off the court. Don’t be shy. I don’t even have the shame to continue talking.”
Anthony is usually a dull and nice guy. He stands at the bar every day and focuses on his own affairs. He rarely takes the initiative to chat with the fans. However, I didn't expect that he is a sharp-tongued and well-hidden master. The twelve people were so humiliated that their faces were all red, and it was hard to tell whether it was because of shame or because they were drunk.
"It's good to know! It seems you are not stupid enough!" One of the twelve people said loudly, "We are here to cause trouble!"
Immediately afterwards, he waved the baseball bat in his hand and smashed it hard. There was a banging sound, and the bar suddenly fell into a melee, and the situation was completely out of control.
