The sunshine is just right; the breeze is just right; the temperature is just right. Everything was just right.

The temperature has risen slightly, which is really good for an outdoor venue like Candlestick Stadium. It seems that everything has been prepared for this National League finals. Arrival of the Atlanta Falcons.
"Viewers, if you have just turned on the TV, you are welcome to join today's football feast. What you are watching now is the 2012 NFL National League Finals, where the San Francisco 49ers face the Atlanta Falcons at Candlestick Stadium. It’s going to be a matchup between the No. 1 seed in the conference and the No. 2 seed in the conference.”
"Yes, you heard it right, and I said it right. What I just said is the entire league. Although the two teams are ranked in the top two seeds of the National League, in fact, even in the entire league, These are the two best teams this season. After looking forward to it all season, now they are finally going to play each other."
"There is no doubt that this game is the focus of the entire North America. We just saw many familiar figures in the VIP box. The owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, appeared in the box of the San Francisco 49ers. There are also a series of Hollywood stars, including Emma Watson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield and more.”
“In the Atlanta Falcons’ box, we can see Tony Ressler, owner of the NBA team Atlanta Falcons, present, as well as singers Usher and Ludcris and ...the main cast and crew of 'The Walking Dead.' Wow, this game is absolutely star-studded."
"Personally, this NFC finals is more exciting than the American League finals, which starts three and a half hours later."
"Because the strength of these two teams is closer, and both are at their peak this season, the overall level of the offensive and defensive ends is more balanced. Every offensive and defensive duel is bound to be more intense and full of many variables. Let me give you a preview in advance. The highlights of this game that deserve attention are as follows——”
"First of all, the San Francisco 49ers' second-year quarterback Lu Ke challenged the league's Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowl-level safety guard lineup, Thomas DeCoud (Thomas DeCoud) and William Moore (William Moore). Their overall strength is better than that of the Seattle Seahawks. The Eagle's bombing legion is only high but not low, which means that Lu Ke's long pass will face severe challenges."
"It is worth mentioning that the Atlanta Falcons' second-line defense completed a total of 22 interceptions throughout the season, second only to the Chicago Bears' 24 interceptions, ranking second in the league, and even surpassing the Legion of Boom. Eighteen times.”
"Secondly, the Atlanta Falcons' top-level wide receiver team faces the San Francisco 49ers' relatively weak cornerback group. Wide receiver Julio Jones and tight end Tony Gonzalez (Tony Gonzalez) are the key defensive targets; at the same time, it also needs It should be noted that Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is definitely one of Lu Ke’s biggest opponents for the regular season MVP, and the head-to-head confrontation between Matt Ryan and the cornerback will determine the trend of the game scores.”
"Finally, the San Francisco 49ers' dominant frontline defense and the Atlanta Falcons' relatively weak offensive line. Matt Ryan suffered 28 sacks this season and had five fumbles, not counting the league. At the bottom, but for a team with the sixth-highest offensive efficiency in the league, the performance is unsatisfactory; correspondingly, the San Francisco 49ers' frontline defense sent out a full 50 sacks, second only to the Denver Broncos. Tied with the St. Louis Rams for second in the league.”
"It can be expected that this game will never be easy for both teams! And for us viewers, this is a great benefit."
In the studio, commentators from various links such as TV stations, radio stations and online platforms are intensively analyzing the final trend of the game; while on the court, the players of the two teams are doing their final warm-ups to ensure that their bodies are in good shape. and awareness to prepare for this intense competition.
"Hey, handsome guy, give me one! Give me one!"
On the spacious and empty stadium, a call came from the breeze. Lu Ke subconsciously followed the sound and looked over, and then saw No. 11 wide receiver Julio Jones, who was wearing an all-white away jersey.
Julio and Lu Ke are both rookies in the 2011 class. They have already met during the rookie training camp and can be regarded as good friends. When Lu Ke was able to complete his first special task, Julio was one of them. One, there is still a photo of them on the photo wall.
However, the two men have completely different draft prospects. Julio was one of the top rookie wide receivers back then. His strong body, soft touch and ability to break through after catching the ball were all impressive. He was eventually selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the sixth overall pick in the first round. The fact is that Proving that the scouts and the Falcons were spot on.
In his rookie season last year, Julio only played in 13 games and achieved an excellent receiving record of 959 yards. He was just shy of breaking through 1,000 yards. His average advancement per reception was astonishing.
In his sophomore season this year, Julio played in 16 games and successfully got his first 1,000-yard season. At the same time, he also continued his strong driving efficiency after receiving the ball, with an average yardage of 15.2, the same as Crabtree. He is an excellent representative of large wide receivers. Although the number of touchdowns is only ten, the threat in the red zone is still not enough, but the strong pushing ability is the absolute killer of the Falcons.
Seeing Julio's bright smile, Lu Ke raised his right hand and sent the football out. After the football drew a trajectory in the air, Lu Ke followed up and shouted, "If you want more passes like this in the future." Ball, then transfer here, we are always open to welcome you."
Julio couldn't help but stir up his feet, but his upper body remained stable. He took off the rugby and completed the subsequent adjustments in a few small steps. Although the passing and catching itself are not too difficult, it can still be seen that Julio's control over his body makes his catching more stable and creates conditions for subsequent continuous advancement.
After Julio stood firm, he shook his head helplessly, "This doesn't seem to be a good deal. Just sell me with one pass?"
Lu Ke deliberately showed an exaggerated expression, "This means that you are really considering it? Matt will be very, very, very sad when he hears it."
The adverb "very" appeared so frequently that it was very difficult for Julio to ignore it, and he immediately realized, "Matt is standing behind me now, right?"
"Yes." Lu Ke gave the correct answer with a smile.
Matt Ryan was like a ghost behind him, slowly wandering over, then twitching his lips towards Lu Ke, showing a smiley expression, "Unfortunately, Tony is not here today. Your jokes are still not funny. "Tony, I must be talking about Tony Romo.
Lu Ke didn't say anything, spread out his hands, and stood there innocently, as if to say: I have tried my best, but you just don't smile, what else can I do?
Matt raised his right hand and passed a football without warning, drawing a rainbow arc in the air. Lu Ke's eyes moved along the arc, and then he saw Logan's reflexive response. He was playing football, but he didn't know why. He looked around with a confused look, looking for the person who passed the ball.
Matt said, "Very good, then he is ours," and then turned and left.
There was a smile in Lu Ke's eyes, "Julio, look, your quarterback just sold you out." After saying that, he turned and left.
Julio and Logan stood face to face, with confusion in their eyes: What just happened?
They are friends off the field and opponents on the field. The two sides will not let each other go because of friendship. On the contrary, they will go all out to win the game. This is the greatest respect for their friends. What's more, there is no room for both sides to relax their vigilance in this game. Even if they are full of firepower, they may not be able to win the game, because this is a confrontation between the entire team.
As analysts and commentators said, in terms of defensive team, the Atlanta Falcons' second-line defense is a strong point, which can just contain Lu Ke's long pass advantage; the San Francisco 49ers' frontline defense is a strong point, which can just deal with the Falcons' weak pocket. .
At the same time, in terms of the offensive team, the Atlanta Falcons' wide receivers are their strong point, and they faced the 49ers' weak cornerbacks; the San Francisco 49ers' tactical layout is their strong point, and they lacked changes in defensive tactics against the Falcons.
Total offense and total defense, the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams are exactly on the same track. The quarterback is just one part of it. The outcome is unpredictable. On-the-spot performance and adaptability will determine the direction of this victory.
Before the game officially started, ESPN's "Within the League" poll ended with "six versus four", the San Francisco 49ers were "six" and the Atlanta Falcons were "four". Overall, the regular season will be good all the way. The San Francisco 49ers, whose form has continued into the playoffs, have a slight advantage with home court advantage.
After the warm-up, the captains of the two teams walked onto the court again and guessed coins under the guidance of the referee. Ryan politely gave the first choice opportunity to Lu Ke. Lu Ke did not refuse. He chose "head." ", and Ryan chose "Word", and finally the coin fell to the ground with "Word" facing up.
Matt Ryan, who won the option, chose to attack first without hesitation. Even though it was an away game, they still showed strong confidence and faced the San Francisco 49, whose first-wave offensive scoring efficiency topped the league for two consecutive seasons. People, the Atlanta Falcons chose to take the offensive initiative into their own hands.
Lu Ke and Ryan shook hands, said "come on" to each other, then turned their backs to each other, walked off the court again, and gave up the stage to their special teams.
The National League finals have officially begun!
