"Buzz buzz."
"Buzz buzz."
Low noises like a tidal wave began to surround the scene without any blind spots. The hot and complicated sound waves were stirring up the air waves. It was already night, but the air was still as hot as the raging waves of midsummer. Involuntarily, The blood and muscles begin to resonate.
"Buzz buzz."
Jogging all the way to his own twenty-yard line, Lu Ke stepped heavily on the turf with the soles of his feet. He once again felt the down-to-earth feeling of gravity pulling downwards, calming down his slightly restless emotions. The game has officially begun and he must concentrate.
In the coin guessing session, Lu Ke guessed the "head" side, and based on the tactics formulated before the game, he chose to take the lead in attacking.
The Baltimore Ravens took the lead, but the special teams team did not leave any room for San Francisco 49ers punt returner Marcus Lynch to return the ball and kicked the football out of the baseline. As a result, the first offense is about to start from the twenty-yard line.
At this time, standing in the pocket set up by the offensive line, Lu Ke raised his head and looked at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in front of him again. Somewhat familiar, more unfamiliar, the red and red colors in the audience The purple was so densely intertwined that it was completely impossible to tell whether the fans of the home team or the away team were from the home team. Instead, the whole audience was mixed, pouring down like a vast ocean with claws and teeth.
This is still the familiar home stadium of the New Orleans Saints. In the past two seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have played here twice in the preseason and regular season; but it is no longer the familiar away game appearance. The fans, the noise, the lights, everything is different. It’s different. Strictly speaking, today this is the home court of the San Francisco 49ers.
According to league rules, the two teams that finally compete on the Super Bowl stage will still continue the playoff rules, and determine the home and away games based on the number of wins and losses in the regular season - the team with the superior record will be the home team, and they can Be the first to choose your jersey.
The San Francisco 49ers, who have won all the regular seasons this season, have undoubtedly become the home team, so the Mercedes-Benz Superdome has become their home court. The team chose to fight in red jerseys-the sea of red has already It became the lucky sign of victory for the 49ers; correspondingly, the Baltimore Ravens in away games could only give up their home purple jerseys and automatically choose white jerseys.
All the fans were cheering and roaring, and all kinds of cheers were intertwined together, like a dragnet, covering the entire stadium, echoing continuously, creating a unique atmosphere. It was not the home court. It wasn't an away game, but just being under the hot and bright spotlight, the fast-flowing blood in the veins began to boil involuntarily.
The pinnacle battle of the Super Bowl is about to officially begin!
His right foot stepped on the turf again, and the mixed emotions of excitement and nervousness gradually settled down, and then Lu Ke began to read the defense in an orderly manner.
Even if it’s the Super Bowl stage, so what? Reading the defense is still a crucial first step.
The San Francisco 49ers set up a multi-line offensive pistol formation, while the Baltimore Ravens set up a regular man-to-man defense formation.
After forming the formation, Lu Ke's eyes quickly swept around. There was no clue at all about the offensive team's tactical formation, while the defensive team's tactical formation was also calm and without any flaws! At the moment when this Huashan sword debate is about to begin, neither side showed any timidity, so who will win will only be known after the battle.
In the past two weeks, both teams have watched a lot of game videos. The first offense and defense are completely based on the opponent's technical and tactical characteristics. Now it depends on the head coach's tactical layout and who is better. -Brother John Hubble? Or brother Jim Hubble?
The San Francisco 49ers' offensive position has no obvious characteristics, except that it is slightly compact.
It started with a double tight end tactic, with Crabtree, Vernon and Moss on the left from outside to inside, and Logan on the right - among them, Moss and Logan stood side by side with the offensive line. , which expanded the offensive line from five to seven, and the opposite defensive line had five people standing on the front line, but it still formed an unequal numerical advantage.
The Baltimore Ravens defense is in a "3-4" formation. The five players currently standing on the front line are composed of three defensive linemen and two outside linebackers.
Originally, the Ravens expected to create a numerical advantage, but they did not expect that they would be at a disadvantage. However, the defensive team did not change their position, and they still maintained their composure with soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth.
Calculations and counter-calculations, it can be seen from the first wave of offense and defense that the two teams are well prepared.
After getting over the coin guessing and the excitement when he first came on the stage, Lu Ke completely calmed down. He imprinted the positions and centers of gravity of several key players in his mind, and looked for the expected results in the three-dimensional offensive images. And the part that exceeds expectations——
In fact, Lu Ke hopes to see the part that exceeds expectations.
If everything goes according to plan, this means that it is unfathomable. Compared with Jim Hubble, John Hubble's tactical layout ability is definitely not weak, but even more stable, thicker, and full of stamina. , this is the game between coaches, Lu Ke’s advantage cannot be shown; and the opponent takes the initiative to make changes, which means that things are on the surface, and he can spot tricks on the spot, which is what Lu Ke is best at part.
Now it seems that John Hubble is indeed mature and sophisticated, and he was not moved by the opening layout at all. Instead, he placed himself in a passive position.
Lu Ke took the initiative to modify the tactics once. In fact, it was just a cover. The offensive tactics were still within the scope set before the game. It was mainly to test the reaction of the defensive team, but the defensive team did not change at all. This made Lu Ke calm down. Kick-off was announced without delay.
"attack!"
Amidst the restless cheers of the audience, Lu Ke's kickoff call officially opened the Super Bowl.
In an instant, the four receiving players sprinted out like an arrow. The two tight ends and two wide receivers all rushed forward, and at the same time they made movements to involve the running route to the left, but their footsteps It had just rushed five yards away, and then moved back and forth to the right. Such a large-scale movement and collision was like a blizzard, sweeping left and right.
After completing the ball, Lu Ke did not move his steps, turned sideways, stretched out his hands, and made the motion of handing over the football.
Marcus, who started the game, rushed forward and grabbed the football with both hands. However, he did not start immediately, but paused for a beat: both Marcus and Lu Ke were observing the movement direction of the defensive team.
Three defensive linemen teamed up with an outside linebacker to rush the pass, and the other outside linebacker dropped back to defend Logan; there was still a middle linebacker in the center - Ray Lewis, with his eyes fixed on Marcus. It was not affected by the smoke bomb at all, just like a panther aiming at its prey.
One shot.
With just one shot, Lu Ke made a judgment on the movement direction of the defensive frontline players: ground defense is stronger than pass rush. Obviously the Ravens are also aware of the running back lineup composed of Marcus and Gall. In the playoffs, , the state gradually returned to its peak period, and they also provided more marking.
Therefore, Lu Ke did not let go of his hands, but turned around, covered his abdomen with his right hand, and quickly retreated; at the same time, Marcus arched his waist, stepped forward and came to Lu Ke's body. In front of him, he used his body to block the line of sight between the defensive player and Lu Ke.
Lu Ke and Marcus are already familiar with this set of tactics, and there is no problem at all.
In just one breath, Marcus made a running posture and moved forward quickly——
A channel has opened up on the left and right sides of the offensive line. Marcus made a sprinting gesture with the ball, crossed the line of scrimmage with light steps, and then cut into the gap between the defensive line and the linebacker. , then he disarms, switches from running the ball mode to receiving the ball, attracting firepower.
Lu Ke, who quickly retreated, did not go far. Not far away, he made two cross-step adjustments. When he turned around, he saw the defensive striker who was constantly pressing towards him. The pocket was completely shattered, but the defense However, the players were never able to break through the blocking position of the offensive linemen, which provided Lu Ke with a solid and stable passing space.
His eyes quickly scanned the entire scene.
Because of the fake running and real passing actions of Lu Ke and Marcus, it was delayed by two to three shots. This caused the receiving players to rush ten yards away and all cut into the mid-pass area. Marcus had already gained five yards and was tangled up with the middle linebacker.
The central area is already a meat grinding ground, with at least seven or eighty-nine players gathered. The red jerseys and white jerseys are intertwined without distinction.
Lu Ke's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately caught an opening. He raised his right hand and raised the knife without any hesitation. Before the defensive forward player had time to break through the pocket, Lu Ke had already completed the pass.
Bullet pass!
The flight speed and trajectory of the entire rugby ball were so fast that it was impossible to accurately capture a clear movement. We could only vaguely judge a trend. The sharp force of the rugby was sprinting towards the left side near the sideline area. The passing distance was seventeen yards, but it reached the landing point in just the blink of an eye.
Wait, what's going on?
There was no player in the direction of Lu Ke's pass. There is no red jersey and no white jersey. It is completely a no man's land. Did Lu Ke make a wrong judgment? But such a passing error is really outrageous, and it doesn't look like Lu Ke's style at all.
hold on!
Someone shows up!
Just when football was slowing down and about to stop and be inspired by gravity, a red figure appeared: No. 85, Vernon Davis!
