First a sudden speed increase, then a fake pass run, the San Francisco 49ers' effortless offensive tactics are turning the situation on the field.
In three consecutive attacks, Lu Ke chose an offensive method with a higher safety factor, but the changes in rhythm and layout firmly grasped the initiative in his hands. Gower's two ground rushes achieved an outstanding result. As a result, this also further increased the difficulty of confrontation for the Falcons' defensive team.
Defensive tackle Chloe Bierman and outside linebacker Stephen Nicholas, who came on the bench, were unable to keep up with the rhythm in time. This also became Lu Ke's breakthrough, putting pressure on the defensive team bit by bit, accumulating The advantage of the offensive team, and then complete the final thunderous blow.
Gower once again completed a strong and efficient ground push. His footsteps had stopped. Two players, McClain and Moore, blocked his position, while Nicholas rushed over two steps slower, braking. Unable to stay in the car, I immediately joined the threesome.
Nicholas looked a little irritable and angry. This was the case for two consecutive defenses. Lu Ke seemed to be toying with the entire Falcons defensive team. He easily completed an important advance with the simplest and most direct ground attack. He had just replaced him. He already became a clown when he came on the court.
After the attack was terminated, both McClain and Moore had released their grip and did not continue to entangle, but Nicholas persisted in pushing Gower's helmet, cursing and talking trash; while Gower He was not a dull gourd with a good temper, so he pushed back hard and scolded him back not to be outdone.
I don’t know if it was because of Lu Ke’s training and brilliance that Gao Er’s eloquence became sharper. In the blink of an eye, he counterattacked Nicholas speech by sentence, making him speechless, and finally gave him a disdainful reply. He looked at Nicholas with disdain and seemed to be saying, "Who are you?"
Nicholas felt aggrieved for a while, became angry with embarrassment, and the blood rushed to his head. He pulled the collar of Gower's jersey with both hands and made a judo posture. He exerted force and pulled down instantly. Then Gower was like a puppet, clumsy and stiff. He fell to the ground, causing a splash of grass clippings.
Nicholas was breathing heavily, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, just like a boxing warrior returning victoriously: Let you say it, let you say it again! Let you throw a dog into the mud!
"Beep", the referee immediately blew the whistle and the yellow flag entered the field.
"After the end of this offense, due to personal fouls and unnecessary rough confrontation, the defensive team, No. 54, threw the offensive team players to the ground and lost fifteen yards. The offensive team automatically gained the first offense."
All the players on the San Francisco 49ers offensive team gathered over in an instant, but instead of pushing or cursing, they all raised their hands and applauded Nicholas - applause that was obviously sarcastic. As if congratulating: Congratulations on just winning a boxing match.
The fans in the Candlestick Stadium also booed and expressed their strong dissatisfaction with such an unprofessional sportsmanship move.
Nicholas turned his head and left the dense crowd in a depressed manner, as if if he continued to cause trouble now, things would definitely become more than what they are now.
Goodwin stepped forward and pulled Gower up, and other teammates also came up to confirm; Gower was actually fine, but he didn't expect Nicholas to suddenly use his judo skills, and he fell down unexpectedly, leaving him in a state of embarrassment. But there were no injuries.
In the attack just now, Gall had completed the ground advance, and his seven-yard run with the ball was recognized; then, Nicholas' personal foul sent another fifteen yards, which also made the San Francisco 49ers rush to the opponent's half. Above the 28-yard line, the efficiency of this wave of offense has been significantly improved.
Immediately afterwards, the San Francisco 49ers set up a multi-line offensive formation, and Lu Ke directly cleared the backcourt and faced this offense with a shotgun formation. Is this... a passing tactic?
No one dares to underestimate Lu Ke's backcourt coverage ability. Now he has entered Lu Ke's shooting range. One pass can solve the battle; but the problem is that Lu Ke just used two running tactics in a row, and the efficiency was very high. They are all exceptionally good. If the defensive team takes it lightly, the ground defense may still lose a lot of yards.
The Atlanta Falcons defensive team changed their positions. On the first line, there were four players on the defensive front; on the second line, there were three linebackers, about three yards behind; on the third line, there were two cornerbacks. player, again about two yards behind; on the fourth line, the two safety guards have about five yards of space.
The entire position is like a multi-layered cake skirt, spreading layer by layer, stretching out the skirt with accumulated cream.
This is a traditional formation. The Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive position is like this. They apply pressure layer by layer and complete multiple defenses like a chain. Each line can make people feel airtight and powerless.
The position of the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team has also changed slightly. Crabtree is on the left, and Moss, Vernon and Logan are on the right. This is not only a double-tight end tactic, but Crabtree comes on, Ginn came off the field and used large receivers to fill the entire defensive position. Even Moss's running was mainly based on positional warfare.
This is clearly a short pass offensive tactic.
But, is this really the case?
Falcons outside linebacker Sean Weatherspoon chose to step up, leaving the position of the linebackers and joining the ranks of the defensive front, changing the defensive front from four to five, increasing the pressure on the front. ability; then the linebackers and cornerbacks also took a slight step forward, and the thickness of ground defense and short pass defense has been significantly improved.
"attack!"
Following Lu Ke's kick-off slogan, the Falcons' defensive team indeed chose the pass-rushing tactic of raiding the quarterback at the first opportunity. Their defensive team was still not cunning enough, and their tactical intentions were exposed a bit early; but even if they exposed their own tactics early, Intention, the advantage in player numbers is still irreversible.
The four defensive linemen slightly switched their positions and joined forces to block the matchup of the five offensive linemen. Although it was four against five, they relied on early movement to gain a slight upper hand. Center Jonathan Goodwin's position Being left open, the other four players were completely stuck.
Outside linebacker Weatherspoon immediately formed a gap, and without any obstruction in front of him, he sprinted towards Lu Ke in the pocket.
Able to sack the quarterback in a short distance!
But Weatherspoon saw Gower coming towards him immediately, and he repeated his old trick! Use running backs to serve as additional offensive linemen to make up for matchup holes. This is the case on the first offensive of this wave of offense. Gall blocked Weatherspoon and then created room for Vernon to advance.
But this time Vernon didn't stand inside the pocket, and Weatherspoon didn't have time to think or change. He just quickly rushed towards Gower, and then used the forward momentum to push Gower backward. , Gower's steps staggered and he retreated towards the rear.
Lu Ke is already close at hand.
Weatherspoon isn't the only defensive player in the pocket.
On the other side, the confrontation between defensive end John Abraham and offensive tackle Joe Stanley also created an advantage. Abraham continued to adjust his impact rhythm with small steps, disrupting Stanley's blocking position. , and then pushed Stanley stumbling across the line of scrimmage and into the pocket.
However, both Abraham and Stanley were big men, and the confrontation between the two was head-on. The speed could not be increased, but continued to advance like a steamroller. Although slow, it was still visible to the naked eye that Abraham was continuing to undermine Stanley's positioning.
With Abraham on the left and Weatherspoon on the right, Lu Ke was immediately surrounded.
Lu Ke had already anticipated this situation. After the kick-off, he made a step back in advance and continued to retreat three to four yards from the shotgun formation to prepare for his own. The passing observation bought more time, and then from the corner of the eye, two defensive players could be seen breaking through quickly, but the friends on the offensive team did not relax easily.
Stanley was stuck in the path of Abraham's speed, forcing Abraham to continue to increase his strength. In the end, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. He was only three yards away from Lu Ke - -Stanley was still standing behind Lu Ke, guarding against Abraham's sudden rise.
Gall was closely attached to Weatherspoon. As a running back, he was naturally not a qualified striker. He could only rely on his own rhythm and posture of running the ball to push Weatherspoon's path forward. Pushing against each other from the outside, trying to buy more time for Lu Ke, the two people just passed by Lu Ke.
At the same time, after Lu Ke completed his footwork adjustment, he took the initiative to step forward before completing the outflanking on the left and right sides. Before the potential danger of sacking actually occurred, Lu Ke raised his right hand and gently threw the football. A slightly upward parabola was drawn in the sky, and the target was clearly——
End zone!
Should this be a surprise? Of course not surprising! The twenty-eight yard line, this is Lu Ke's strike range! The question now is, who is Lu Ke's passing target?
…
At the moment of kick-off, Crabtree, who was standing on the left wing, quickly moved forward and then cut inward towards the center; Moss and Logan, who were standing on the right side, both rushed forward in a straight line. Vernon was half a step behind and then followed up diagonally. Rushing forward, all four receiving players sprinted out. The two linebackers and four second-line defensive players became highly tense, "six against four", but the magic was that the defensive players did not feel anything at all. Advantage.
Especially now that it is too close to the end zone, Lu Ke's passing arc seems to have been aimed at the end zone, and every cell in his body is screaming: Danger, danger, danger! That sense of urgency is really confusing.
