At one minute and fifteen seconds, the Atlanta Falcons stood on the 13-yard line in front of the end zone and chose to force a fourth-down offense. As a result, the San Francisco 49ers successfully completed the most critical fourth-down defense in the game! Simply, forcefully and fiercely, he pushed the offensive team in front of the red zone!
Absolutely tough! Absolutely tough! Absolutely strong!
The San Francisco 49ers defense showed the team's courage and directly killed the game! There is no need for Lu Ke to appear again! There is no need for Lu Ke to fight for his life Hail Mary! No need to go through overtime like last season! They now have victory firmly in their palms. They missed it once last year and will definitely not miss it again this year!
When the referee signaled that the fourth-down offense failed and the San Francisco 49ers offensive team came on the scene, the entire Candlestick Stadium was boiling. Everyone was hugging each other crazily, cheering and celebrating, roaring, jumping, and singing. This belongs to the home court. moment! They can finally start celebrating without any reservations!
But on the edge of the court, Hubble still kept calm and kept shouting, "Offensive team! Offensive team! Offensive team!" The defensive team players came off the court, and Hubble patted their shoulders one after another to express his congratulations, but the sound It still didn't stop, constantly reminding the offensive team that the game was not over yet.
Yes, victory is still not achieved.
Now, there are one minute and nine seconds left in the game. Because the Atlanta Falcons have two timeouts, the San Francisco 49ers still cannot kneel down to end the game. They still have to come on the court and attack again until the game time is exhausted. , the home team still needs Lu Ke to end all this!
So, Lu Ke appeared again.
Standing on the 13-yard line of his own half, with ten yards on the first gear, Lu Ke directly handed the football to Marcus, using ground attack to consume enough time. Marcus advanced three yards and consumed five yards. seconds, and then the Atlanta Falcons indeed used up a timeout, and the time was frozen at one minute and four seconds.
Although there are only one minute and four seconds away from victory, the tension is gradually rising, almost suffocating. There is only a small group of home fans left who continue to shout the name of "Lu Ke", while more fans are She was already covering her chest and didn't dare to speak, lest her little move might affect the outcome of the game.
On the second gear and seven yards, Lu Ke announced the kickoff, but there was a communication error. Goodwin was slow to kick the football out, which directly led to a delayed game foul. The San Francisco 49ers were penalized five yards, and Replay the second offense.
After Goodwin stood up, he looked at Lu Ke with a confused face, spread his hands, and repeated the same sentence over and over again, "I didn't see the signal. I didn't see the signal."
Lu Ke frowned slightly. As he got closer and closer to victory, he inevitably became a little impatient. He waved his arms fiercely towards the air, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction, but after venting, he took a deep breath. , he calmed down, waved his hand to Goodwin, indicating that it was okay, "Concentrate! Concentrate!"
Twelve yards in second gear is still one minute and four seconds.
At such a moment, Hubble was also a little tight-lipped, and kept shouting in the earphones, "Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball!"
After the kickoff, Lu Ke handed the football to Marcus, but the Falcons' defensive team completely increased their defensive intensity. They anticipated early that the 49ers would choose to attack on the ground to waste time, so they immediately broke through. He broke into the offensive defense, but instead of running towards the quarterback, he immediately tackled Marcus to the ground.
Four players completed the siege and suppression of Marcus. Marcus didn't stand a chance.
Immediately afterwards, the Atlanta Falcons used up their last timeout. They cost the San Francisco 49ers three yards.
Fifteen yards on third gear, sixty seconds left on the game clock.
Hubble was still roaring in the headphones, "Run the ball! Run the ball! Run the ball!"
Because the San Francisco 49ers are now leading by eight points, even if the opponent completes a touchdown and further completes a two-point conversion, then they will only be tied and can still play overtime. It can be said that the home team is in an invincible position. Therefore, Hubble still insists on ground attack to consume time. This is the safest tactic.
If Lu Ke chooses to pass the ball, but is intercepted at a critical moment, and the opponent directly attacks back for a touchdown, that would be the worst, because there are fifty-five seconds left, the opponent can choose to gamble and kick, and there are countless possibilities. . The first priority now is to avoid mistakes and reduce them with ground attack, which is the most reliable.
After the kickoff, Lu Ke chose to hand the football to Marcus. Marcus rushed forward with the ball and broke through from the middle, attracting the attention of all defensive players. However, he did not expect that it was a fake handover. Lu Ke Ke held the ball and ran towards the right.
The purpose is not to advance, but to consume.
So, Lu Ke chose to run sideways. Because Marcus was the target and gathered all the firepower, this gave Lu Ke enough time to pull out the space. After reaching the center of the right wing, he began to sprint forward, exploding all his energy. .
When Lu Ke crossed the entangled position between the offensive line and the defensive line, the defensive players noticed Lu Ke's forward movement. When the cornerback, safety guard and linebacker all pursued him, Lu Ke took the lead and chose to slide to the ground. , ended this wave of attacks.
Fifteen yards? Obviously Lu Ke couldn't run such a long distance. He only rushed out about seven yards - it was not that Lu Ke's speed was too slow, but that his opponent's speed was too fast. In order to protect himself and avoid injury, Lu Ke He fell to the ground early to avoid collision, so he didn't advance too far.
But the game time consumed a full ten seconds!
The referee standing on the sidelines began to count the time. When all offensive and defensive players stood up, the countdown to four gears and eight yards began from forty-eight seconds.
The countdown to the next attack is a full forty seconds. Whether it chooses to attack, punt or free kick, the offensive team can consume all forty seconds.
The referee stood next to Hubble. It was obvious that the San Francisco 49ers' special teams took their time and slowly consumed all 40 seconds. With only eight seconds left, Hubble called for a timeout. , the game time was fixed at eight seconds, and then the team's punter Andy Lee came on the scene, preparing to punt.
When the punt started again, Andy Lee did not pursue depth. Instead, he consciously kicked the football high, flying extremely high and far, and the landing point was near the midline. This allowed the returner to catch the football and at the same time, the 49ers' The players had already rushed over, got into position in advance, and directly pinned their opponents to the spot.
It took six seconds.
There are two seconds left in the game.
Matt Ryan came on the scene again, standing on his own 40-yard line. He had one last chance to pass the ball, and Hail Mary gave it another try.
After the kickoff, Ryan sent a long pass of about 40 yards and found Julio Jones, but Julio had just completed the ball and was already surrounded by three defensive players. Safety guard Darshan Gold Sen immediately pushed Julio to the ground, ending the push and the game.
The referee blew the whistle and officially announced that the game was over!
"The game is over!"
"Viewers, the game is over!"
"The San Francisco 49ers reached the Super Bowl finals again after 18 years since 1994! They ended the game!

"Last season, the San Francisco 49ers fell at the same level! They lost the game with a slight disadvantage in overtime! This season, they refused to repeat the same mistake!

"King's return!"
Ryan Baldwin was sitting in a wheelchair, watching the TV screen quietly. The dazzling red ocean was raging and boiling. All the fans were shouting the same slogan in unison. Those excitement, joy, and excitement, here At this moment, I can finally release it all without reservation.
"We are! Nine!"

In order to wait for this day, they have been silent for too long, and there is almost no hope in the ups and downs, but they finally waited and returned to the Super Bowl stage with an impressive record of undefeated season. , proudly fulfilled the long-cherished wish of eighteen years!
Caught off guard, Ryan's face was filled with tears, and the smile at the corner of his mouth bloomed brightly. However, the tears could not be held back at all, and they continued to fall, making the red ocean in his sight blur. He felt ——He felt the sound of his heart hitting his chest hard again. It was so violent that his chest began to hurt, but this pain was so real that it made him truly alive.

No matter how many thorns there are, he will keep going! He wants to witness the rise of the team with his own eyes, he wants to accompany the team's glory, and he wants to taste the taste of victory with his family and loved ones! He wants to live!
"..." The voice rolled in the depths of his throat, and it seemed that even speaking out became extremely difficult, but Ryan refused to give up and unswervingly curled up his fists, over and over again, one after another, and finally the sound finally came out. Breaking through the shackles, shouting louder, firmer, and crazier each time.
"We are! Nine!"
"We are! Warriors!"
Shouting and shouting, tears burst into tears. But happiness is about to overflow.
