"Beep! Beep beep!"
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the audience burst into cheers and roars!
Not the Nine People.
Sun Tongfei turned his attention to the score on the big screen and covered his eyes in disbelief. His mind could not help but think of the nightmare of the last time he watched the game at Candlestick Stadium - the San Francisco 49ers also fell into an unfavorable situation at the beginning. "Am I at odds with Lu Ke? Every time I watch his game live, they get into trouble!"
If turning around and leaving now can help the San Francisco 49ers recover in the second half, Sun Tongfei will definitely do so without hesitation.
Lei Qingkong, who was standing next to him, was much calmer, but he was still a little impatient in his heart. The reality of being at the game always made people worry about gains and losses, especially when the team he supported was fighting on the field. A sense of tension surged.
Look at the score on the field, "6:28". The home team is in front and the visiting team is behind. How can Lei Qingkong remain calm?
When was the last time the San Francisco 49ers faced such a dilemma? The memory is actually a bit blurry. Even in this season's games against the New York Giants and New England Patriots, when the San Francisco 49ers were lagging behind, they were not so embarrassed.
However, in fact, after experiencing an undefeated season, the San Francisco 49ers did show some fatigue in the playoffs. They were behind in two consecutive games. They failed to score in the first wave of offense. The half was a little slow... everything felt familiar tonight, and on the Super Bowl stage, this shortcoming was further magnified.
In the first two playoff games, facing such difficulties, the San Francisco 49ers won the final victory, but what about this time? Can they still perform miracles?
Looking back at the entire first half of the game, the San Francisco 49ers actually played well, but the score was in such a predicament. What was the reason?
detail!
The San Francisco 49ers lost control of details on both the offensive and defensive ends. Small details were misaligned one by one. When they were all added up, the situation started to spiral out of control step by step.
Let’s talk about the defensive team first.
Foul problems have seriously hampered the improvement of defensive quality. In the first half alone, the defensive team alone had seven yellow flag fouls - according to statistics, this has set a Super Bowl record. What's worse is that among the seven yellow flag fouls, All four times appeared in the defense of the third gear transition, which also means that either the first attack is simply sent to the opponent directly, or the opponent is allowed to win the opportunity to play the third gear again.
This is undoubtedly fatal for the defense.
One of the fouls occurred at the moment of the interception. Safety guard Darshan Goldson successfully intercepted Joe Flacco. If successful, this will be Flacco's first time in the playoffs this year. An interception was made, but unexpectedly outside linebacker Aldon Smith actually committed a foul, which directly caused the interception to be blown off by the referee.
Flacco not only escaped, but also scored the first attack again after reorganizing the attack.
This is a heavy blow to the state and morale of the defensive team.
Seven yellow flag defenses gave up a total of fifty yards! Although the San Francisco 49ers defensive team is still in good condition, the continuous fouls gave the Baltimore Ravens offensive team some breathing space, and they reversed the disadvantage one after another, and continued their momentum in one go, scoring consecutively.
In the first half alone, the Baltimore Ravens offensive team scored three passing touchdowns and one running touchdown, once again showing a strong momentum of rising steadily in the three games of the playoffs - this is their postseason this year. The best first half of the game! The San Francisco 49ers defensive team completely lost the limelight of killing everyone in the regular season, and their accumulated advantages were ruined by consecutive mistakes.
Sure enough, the league rankings in the regular season can only be used as a reference, but they may not necessarily be converted into a score advantage in the Super Bowl, because in actual games, there are so many uncertainties that change rapidly, and it is not possible to simply use numbers. The calculation can be completed.
Let’s talk about the offensive team.
The problem of mistakes has become a stumbling block for them to continue to move forward! After scoring the first free kick, Lu Ke led the offensive team into the red zone three times, but all failed and failed to score a passing touchdown. In this way, the offensive efficiency of the red zone created two Season low.
But...I really can't blame Lu Ke.
Among the three red zone offenses, the first time he pulled Michael James to run the ball, but he dropped the ball and was seized by the opponent; the second time after Vernon completed the ball, his butter hand appeared again, and it seemed that his arm The injury still had a slight impact, resulting in the pass being incomplete and ruining the opportunity. In the end, he had to choose a free kick to score.
Lu Ke found Logan for the third time, but Logan, whose performance has always been stable in the past two seasons, made a mistake when placing the receiver. He failed to catch the football. Instead, he accidentally changed the flight direction of the football, causing Safety guard Ed Reed, who was waiting not far away, easily completed the first interception of the game.
Three offenses advanced to the red zone, consuming a lot of time and energy, but all ended in a frustrating way. This was also a heavy blow to the morale and state of the offensive team.
At the same time, the Baltimore Ravens defensive team also performed outstandingly and demonstrated its strong strength: a total of two sacks of the quarterback, four forced hurried shots, four effective impacts, and A pass interference created huge pressure on the front line and made Lu Ke dance in the pocket.
Objectively speaking, the defensive team was able to continuously push the Baltimore Ravens offensive team back to the dangerous situation of third-down transition, and the offensive team entered the red zone three times to win the opportunity to challenge for touchdowns. All this illustrates the San Francisco 49ers' success. His strength is still trustworthy, but deviations in details at critical moments waste all the advantages accumulated before.
This can't help but remind people of the regular season game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints. The entire game was also inextricable, but the deviation in details caused the two teams to go in completely different directions. In the end, the San Francisco 49ers took away a victory easily from the Superdome.
But tonight in the same stadium, the positions are reversed, and now the San Francisco 49ers are losing control of the details.
So, at "6:28", the half-time score was settled. The San Francisco 49ers have half their foot off the cliff!
Even the studio could not predict such a situation at all. The first half was so messed up. It really makes people wonder how to evaluate it.
"Now going into half-time and none of us knowing exactly what is going to happen in the second half, there is a historical record that cannot be ignored for reference."
"In the history of the Super Bowl, no team has ever been able to complete a comeback from being behind by 22 points! In fact, the record for the highest point difference in coming back from behind to win the Super Bowl is ten points. Such a record was created They are the Washington Redskins, champions of Super Bowl XXII in the 1987 season, and the New Orleans Saints, champions of Super Bowl XLVI in the 2009 season."
"No team can be behind by more than ten points and still get back on the winning track, because this is the ultimate showdown in the Super Bowl! In other words, even if it is only eleven points behind, no team can currently do so. Reversal of disadvantage.”
"Although I don't want to admit it, but... is the triple curse working? The curse of the regular season MVP, the curse of the undefeated victory, and the curse of the regular season passing yards king, these unbreakable historical records, and then you have to add them. The curse of being '10 points behind', judging from the current situation, the situation of the San Francisco 49ers is indeed very bad!"
So, what should we do now?
Sun Tongfei turned to look at Lei Qingkong, "Uncle Kong?" He didn't ask a question, but the uncertainty in his voice still revealed his nervousness.
Lei Qingkong reacted immediately and turned to look at the turbulent and colorful sea of fans in front of him, "Xiao Fei, do you know why Lu Ke can win the support of so many fans?"
After a short pause, Lei Qingkong continued, "It's not because he led the team to so many victories, but because of his tenacity and never bowing down in the face of difficulties. That fighting attitude of never giving up has given him a new life." This is the soul of this team. Do you remember the slogan of the 49ers’ Super Bowl campaign?”
Sun Tongfei was slightly stunned.
Lei Qingkong showed a confident smile, "This is not the first time such a scene has occurred, and it may not be the last time, but believe me, Lu Ke will never give up! The second half! We will see!"
Sun Tongfei followed Lei Qingkong's line of sight and looked at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in front of him, and then a buzzing sound was quietly gathering together, like a huge wave, gradually rising up. , finally condensed into a rope, thundering throughout the audience!
"The fight never stops!"
This is the official slogan of the San Francisco 49ers for the Super Bowl. The reason why they are standing on this stage is not because their strength is unparalleled in the league, but because in every game and every offensive and defensive position, they are not the only one in the league. Will give up easily, let alone surrender easily!
Twenty-two points behind?
so what!
In the second half of the game, they will be tougher, more ferocious, and more courageous to fight back. No one will ever know the outcome until the moment the game ends!
Then Lei Qingkong followed the sea of red on the scene, raised his right hand high, clenched it into a fist, burst out all the energy in his body, and roared all over the sky, "The fight never stops! The fight never stops! The fight never stops!”
Sun Tongfei felt his blood boiling. He couldn't hold back his excitement and excitement, and he also roared and roared, one after another.
Listen, that's the roar of the whole audience!
