The opponent's twenty-five yard line, five yards on second down.
After the start of the second half, with only four offensive shifts, the San Francisco 49ers had already crossed the half court with overwhelming force. Both the efficiency and intensity were amazing. The sturdy and strong forward momentum was simply unstoppable; further, the continuously improving rhythm and The intensity fully demonstrated the fluidity of the offensive team, and the tactical distribution of two passes and two runs made the defensive team not be able to take it lightly.
Suddenly, the adrenaline like an oil blowout began to remind everyone sitting in front of the TV that the shock was surging: So, is this the true strength of the San Francisco 49ers offense?
An undefeated season sounds like a fantasy. Sophomore Lu Ke and sophomore Jim Hubble actually led this young team to create such a miracle? But now, the myth is gradually becoming real. Involuntarily, every spectator held their breath and stared at the TV screen intently, fearing that they would miss the next second, because Lu Ke quickly announced the kickoff!
"attack!"
Quick formation, quick kickoff.
For four consecutive times, Lu Ke did not leave much time and space to breathe, and increased the entire offensive rhythm, as if this was not just the first wave of offense in the second half, but the last wave of offense in the entire game, with high frequency. The high-tempo and high-intensity advancement makes all tactical layouts as simple as possible, so the key to controlling the overall situation lies in Lu Ke's hands.
Also, take action quickly.
After the kick-off, with the ball in both hands, Lu Ke immediately stepped back. His steady pocket steps separated Lu Ke from the fierce confrontation between Chuhehan and Chuhehanjie directly in front, and got rid of the approaching stormy waves, and then did not wait for further pressure from the defensive front. , then raised his right hand and quickly released the football.
From kick-off to shot, it only takes 1.88 seconds. In such a short time, is it enough for the receiving player to reach the designated position?
…
Faced with such a situation, the Atlanta Falcons defensive team seemed to have taken precautions for a long time - the twenty-five yards from the front of the end zone, this is exactly Lu Ke's precise coverage area. Any slightest negligence may cause the visiting team to lose another touchdown. This It is an area that requires a high degree of security.
Therefore, amid the stormy momentum of the offensive team, the defensive team made slight adjustments.
Only four defensive forwards are left on the defensive front to rush the pass - now Lu Ke's shot time continues to be compressed. Even if the front line applies pressure with the numerical advantage, it will have little effect. It is better to invest more troops to defend and pass the ball on the ground. Make a fuss about ball defense.
Therefore, the three linebackers are positioned three yards behind the defensive front, waiting in the middle; the two cornerbacks are standing on the outside of the wings, just one step behind the linebackers, facing off against the wide receivers; and the two safeties are about a foot behind. Eleven yards and twelve yards, the position is inward, basically corresponding to the left and right goal posts.
The entire position is like a deep urn, with a wide belly and a narrow mouth. Any object can be easily caught in the urn.
After the kickoff, the two security guards William Moore and Thomas Deward immediately took in the whole scene and quickly captured Lu Ke's retreating action. They adjusted in small steps before Lu Ke passed the ball. , they started to move first, then retreated towards the deep area closer to the end zone to defend——
Lu Ke's long pass was a fatal hit. This is obviously the most important thing for the defensive team to guard against.
The situation is as expected!
On the left side of the Falcons, Gene and Logan were lined up. Gene continued to break through along the outside near the sideline. He was already at the forefront in a flash, ignoring the cornerback who was following him step by step, all the way towards the end. Sprinting in the direction of the zone; Logan used an inside step and sprinted laterally from the gap between the linebacker and defensive end.
Marcus, who was also standing on this side, followed the gap in the slot. After Logan passed by quickly, he jumped out at high speed and continued to break through along the inside straight line near the goal post. The speed lagged behind Gene, who was racing ahead near the sideline, but in the blink of an eye, Marcus had already rushed fifteen yards away, leaving only about ten yards from the end zone.
On the right side of the Falcons, Vernon and Moss were lined up. Vernon was on the outside of Nemos and rushed forward for about six or seven yards. After a cross-change run, Vernon moved towards him in a parabolic arc. Sprinting towards the outside sideline, Moss quickly crossed towards the central zone in a sharp right-angle turn.
Looking down from the air, you can see that the three players Gene, Marcus and Vernon are all in straight vertical lines, with three speeds, like arrows passing through the clouds towards the bullseye; Moss and Logan are They are all horizontal straight lines. Two people are in parallel positions, one deep and one shallow, sprinting head-on, one from left to right, the other from right to left, and then control their footsteps in the center at the same time to make catching movements.
If the context and development trends of all running routes are connected in series, you can see a criss-crossing chessboard layout. This is the real game!
However, the Atlanta Falcons defensive team made a judgment in advance. The cornerbacks and safety guards retreated and sprinted towards the end zone following their marking targets; the three linebackers were also divided into two, and the outside linebacker Weiser Spong followed Marcus' footsteps and began to retreat. The other two linebackers straddled the center of the field, forming three parallel lines with Moss and Logan.
This is a long pass.
The entire Atlanta Falcons defensive team made the same judgment. Moore and Deward in the backcourt immediately began to retreat, trying to seize the opportunity by moving early; the two linebackers in the frontcourt had a look on their faces. Watching Lu Ke nervously, he was hesitating whether he should step up to pass or retreat to cover, and then... Lu Ke passed the ball.
It's extremely long to describe, but the actual situation is only 1.88 seconds. Lu Ke's shooting speed is very fast, and the rhythm of the entire court seems to change in the blink of an eye, forcing the defensive players to make decisions based on their game instincts. respond.
The two linebackers Akeem Dent and Stephen Nicholas standing in the center of the frontcourt both reacted in the same way - jumping high, waving their hands constantly, trying to intercept the football on its flight path and destroy the pass. The ball, but then both people's eyes showed surprise and fear, because...
The flight path of the football was actually under their arms!
It's not because the height of their jump is too high, but because Lu Ke's passing arc is not a long pass at all. It is actually a straight bullet pass. Could it be that this is a short pass or a medium pass? ?
etc!
There is Logan in the short pass and Moss in the medium pass.
Akeem and Nicholas were able to make a judgment immediately. Logan deliberately bent his knees and squatted down, missing the flight path of the football. This also meant that the target of the pass was Moss; The relationship was not able to make an accurate judgment immediately, and the football transmission was already in place quickly.
Moss's attention remained absolutely focused. On the outside, he seemed to be running very fast, but in fact, his footsteps were always under control. He seemed to be able to form an aura around his body, capturing all the crises between the zone defenses, and then kept it like that. In a state of high vigilance, they cut into the central area.
The body does not need to make any adjustments. It maintains the drive of lateral movement, turns slightly to the side, and accurately puts the football into the arms.
At this time, if time can stand still, you can clearly see that Moss is trapped in the entire deep urn. There are two safeties on the left side near the end zone, two cornerbacks on the front and back, and two cornerbacks on the right side. There were two linebackers on the line of scrimmage, and Moss was surrounded by six players; moreover, the straight-line distance between the left and right sides was only three or four yards, and the physical distance between the front and back sides was only five or six yards.
Embattled on all sides and ambushed on all sides, it is aptly used to describe the situation at this moment.
But Moss was like taking a chestnut from the fire. Surrounded by a group of enemies, he completed the ball neatly without any bumps or hesitations, and then started moving again.
Moss's steps stood above the ten-yard line to complete the ball. Lu Ke's pass was a mid-pass of about fifteen yards, and then Moss continued to advance diagonally forward to his left side, at the cornerback. Before the encirclement of the security guards was completely closed, he cut within the five-yard line. Only then was he surrounded and sniped in place.
"kick off!"
"Lu Ke is observing, Lu Ke is still observing! Lu Ke takes action!"
"The passing speed is very fast! The passing target is...Logan Newman! No! Newman ducked and ducked, then the passing target became Moss! Randy Moss! Beautiful!"
"Moss made the catch in the defensive circle!"
"The judgment of the Atlanta Falcons defensive team was lost. The judgments of the safety, cornerback and linebacker all fell in the end zone. They all thought that Lu Ke would choose a long pass, and Gene and Vernon had already entered. The end zone is really too dangerous, which also makes the Falcons defensive team deploy heavy troops in the end zone!"
"But I didn't expect that Lu Ke unexpectedly chose the intermediate pass!"
"Moss's catch was so wonderful! Like taking off the enemy's leader's head in the midst of thousands of troops, he easily defused the opponent's defensive team. It was unstoppable! The current San Francisco 49ers offense is completely Unstoppable! The permutations and combinations of these tactics seem unsolvable!"
"Danger!"
"The Atlanta Falcons defensive team is in danger! Lu Ke actually quickly completed the formation again and quickly chose to kick off! The Falcons defensive team can't keep up with the rhythm and speed. Their formation can't even stand completely, but there is no time. Well, after Lu Ke kicked off the ball, he quickly made a passing gesture!"
"but!"
"Wait a minute, Lu Ke actually chose to run the ball!"
"Marcus Lynch is holding the ball now! Lynch broke through to the right! The Falcons defensive team failed to form an effective defense. It was too late! It was too late! Lynch entered the end zone! Lynch completed the touchdown run! Formation! It’s a touchdown! It’s so fast! Everything happens so fast!”
