"End zone!"
"Gonzalez!"
"Touchdown!"
"Matt Wright found Tony Gonzalez with a 13-yard pass, who stood in the end zone and faced the combined defense of two safeties. He broke the game with a head-on collision like a bulldozer. Knocked two defensive players away, then cut into the end zone and completed the touchdown!"
"Strong confrontation! This is definitely a head-to-head confrontation without any room for maneuver! Tough! Tough! Bloody! This kind of rugby offensive and defensive matchup is really beautiful!"
"The Atlanta Falcons' offense is really not easy! Facing the strict defense of the San Francisco 49ers, every offense has been entangled over and over again, facing the problem of third-down transition four times in a row, but Ryan He never gave up and completed the third gear four times in a row, continuing the offensive momentum. Such performance is at the top level at any time, which is definitely a heavy blow to the home team’s defensive team!”
"Following Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez and Roddy White have also opened up two receiving points. The Atlanta Falcons' offense showed a rare tenacity. In the face of the aggressive and powerful momentum of the home team, they died. He escaped and once again opened the score gap with a touchdown, this is really exciting!"
"So far, the performance of the Atlanta Falcons offensive team is perfect! Impeccable! Julio Jones and Matt Ryan have become the core of the entire offensive team, leading the team forward, with four waves of offense in the first half , all scored, this offensive group has no solution at all, it looks like..."
"...It's like the San Francisco 49ers in the regular season."
"Of course, this description is not accurate, but the momentum and momentum are like that. The Atlanta Falcons offensive team showed extraordinary intensity and tenacity, and firmly controlled the initiative in their hands while playing on the road. Now, the pressure is back on the San Francisco 49ers."
"7:24", the score gap returned to 17 points.
If it is an ordinary team or a weak team, it is bound to be disturbed now - it has worked hard to chase a touchdown, and then was pulled away by the opponent again for a touchdown, just like all the efforts so far It's all in vain. Even if it doesn't hit hard and then collapse, the impact is inevitable.
During the regular season, it is often the San Francisco 49ers who stand in the position of the Atlanta Falcons and perform continuous pressure. When their opponents show signs of rising, they can always suppress them with a tougher and more ferocious attitude, but now they have become the one being suppressed, which is really not what they are used to.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the corner of his eyes was cast towards Lu Ke, but he immediately noticed that Lu Ke was not affected at all and was concentrating on the conversation with offensive coach Craig Roman and quarterback coach Kip Kleist. Communication, such a calm posture also quickly settled down the floating mood.
The so-called Dinghai Shenzhen probably means this.
After the special teams team completed the kickoff, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team came on stage again. AJ Jenkins' return was not very effective, forcing the team to start the offense above their own fifteen-yard line.
After the first defensive read, Lu Ke changed his tactics.
During the second defensive read, Lu Ke fine-tuned his tactics.
On the third defensive read, Lu Ke announced the kickoff.
On the surface, Lu Ke seems to have become flustered and hesitant, and his offensive tactics are not very decisive; but fans who are really familiar with Lu Ke can find that Lu Ke's eyes are not moved at all, and all tactical changes are in his eyes. As expected, even the numbers on the attack countdown card were not missed.
This calmness and stability are definitely better than Matt Ryan.
After two consecutive tactical changes, the San Francisco 49ers still adopted a traditional two-by-two formation, but there were hidden mysteries in the details.
On the left is a pair of wide receivers, Gene and Moss; on the right is a pair of tight ends, Vernon and Logan.
what is happening? The weaker the weak side, the stronger the strong side?
Not only that, the positioning of the four receiving players also reveals a weirdness: the two players on the left are standing in the opposite middle, side by side; the two players on the right are standing very far away, with Vernon juxtaposed with the offensive line. Logan was already standing near the sideline.
If that's all, then forget it, it's just a trick of positioning; but the offensive line moved half a position further to the left, staggering the original matchup. So there is an illusion, as if it is a multi-line offensive formation, with three receivers on the left wing and only Logan stationed alone on the right wing.
This seems very weird.
Standing in the pistol formation, LaMichael James took turns to appear, standing parallel to Lu Ke, about three yards apart, close to the right. The tactical position was still vague and unrecognizable.
"attack!"
There was no fancy kick-off slogan, Lu Ke chose to kick off quickly, and the sound of the offensive line and the defensive line colliding hard could be heard in his ears, but players who are familiar with the front-line confrontation can hear that the sound of the collision is not loud. , slightly dull, which also means that the impact is not solid.
However, the changes on the court are so rapid that linebackers and cornerbacks have no time to react and must make corresponding defensive actions immediately, otherwise it will be too late.
At the moment of kick-off, the two wide receivers on the left wing broke forward quickly like arrows——
Gene took advantage of his speed to the extreme, avoiding the possibility of a head-on confrontation as much as possible, and pushed forward in a straight line along the narrow gap on the left side near the sideline. He took a deep breath, and his whole body became lighter. Just like the light kung fu in Chinese Kung Fu, he keeps breaking through and cannot stop him at all.
Moss has a completely different running style, one rushing forward, one tearing, one braking and one cutting inside. His footsteps change like a lost pace, running smoothly in the short passing area, and at the same time, he is still unknown. Juezhong continued to advance forward, and before the defensive player had time to block him, his footsteps had already cut into the passing area.
At the same time, the right wing's advance showed no sign of weakness.
Logan took the initiative and sprinted towards the opposing cornerback Asante Samuel. The momentum of the tiger going downhill forced Asante to quickly retreat, adjust his position, and try to complete the defense; but seeing the two When the individual was about to collide head-on, Logan also switched his steps and cut inward towards his left side.
Logan's speed was very fast. He rushed forward in a diagonal direction and cut from the outside into the slot channel. Then he changed the direction again and continued to advance along the slot towards the goal. Because the lateral pull before had consumed some time, now When they arrived at the slot, Gene and Moss on the other side had already arrived in advance.
The Atlanta Falcons defensive team only had time to make a sweeping judgment, and then realized: all the receiving points were in place.
…
Time goes back about 1.5 seconds to 1.9 seconds, and returns to the formation where Lu Ke announced the kick-off - why did Lu Ke make such a tactical adjustment? It's clear just by looking at the Atlanta Falcons' defensive positioning.
The Falcons' defensive team changed their position: four defensive frontmen and one outside linebacker still stood at the forefront, forming a confrontation with the offensive line; two linebackers and two cornerbacks stood parallel, but the position formation began to shrink. Get up, assist with a safety guard who is one step behind, and change the defense in the short passing area.
Alignment can be done simply like this:
Cornerback Robert McClain faced wide receiver Ted Ginn, safety William Moore, who was one step behind, faced wide receiver Randy Moss, and outside linebacker Robert James faced offensive guard Mike Lupati. Inside linebacker Akeem Dent goes against running back LaMichael James and cornerback Asante Samuel goes against Logan Newman.
In other words, above the front line, there are five defensive players consisting of four defensive linemen and one outside linebacker, each corresponding to one offensive lineman; and two linebackers, two cornerbacks and one safety The five defensive players formed correspond to three receivers and one running back.
The only exception is outside linebacker Robert James. His opponent is Rupati on the inside of the pocket. He can wait for opportunities to complete mismatch defense, use the confrontation between the defensive front and the offensive line to change his tactics and role at any time, and even You can complete position swaps with teammates Akeem and Asante, releasing the functions of the latter two defensive players.
The five players standing relatively straight give the Atlanta Falcons defensive group more potential characteristics and increase the intensity of the defense. If they said they didn't refer to the Seattle Seahawks' defensive tactics, Lu Ke would never believe it.
The last remaining safety, Thomas Deward, was about six or seven yards behind. He was a freeback, always cruising in the second half to complete the role of plaster defense.
Lu Ke changed tactics twice in a row, which was due to the defensive players' role intelligence and tactical changes. Of course, he also knew that the Falcons could not completely expose the defensive team's tactical manual, but at least it allowed him to build a model in his mind. , and then execute the attack plan.
After the kickoff, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team's running was very targeted.
On the left wing, Gene took away McClain, and Moss took away Moore. Both players' runs were very threatening. Moss's disruption in the central zone also distracted the attention of Robert James and Thomas Deward. .
On the right wing, Logan took Asante away, and at the same time slowed down the tempo and then moved closer to the inside slot, further affecting Thomas Deward's judgment and having to move left and right in the central zone to defend.
As a result, only two linebackers, Robert James and Akeem Dent, were left in the short passing area. The former was wandering and hesitating whether he should retreat to help defend Moss, but then he turned back to help defend; the latter died. Staring at LaMichael James, he stayed where he was, but he didn't notice at all that the gap behind him was getting bigger and bigger and more chaotic!
This is not the end.
The focus of this attack also lies in the changes in the frontline confrontation.
