"Bambi? Bambi, are you okay?" Stanley, Rupati and others all swarmed over and looked at Lu Ke worriedly, their eyes full of worry.
Lu Ke waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay. I wasn't hit, I'm fine."
After coming on the field again, the Green Bay Packers defensive team significantly increased their intensity, with a successful running ball interception and a successful short pass defense. In the blink of an eye, the San Francisco 49ers were in a difficult situation of nine yards on third down.
More importantly, in the second offensive and defensive confrontation just now, the Packers chose to raid the quarterback, using three defensive linemen to clamp down on five offensive linemen, and then used two wide receivers to complete the double-team, eliminating all of Lu Ke's potential All movement space was cut off, and Lu Ke failed to find a suitable passing target in time, forcing him to pass the football toward the boundary at the critical moment to avoid being sacked.
The two linebackers still failed to complete the emergency brake and both collided with Lu Ke. However, they both restrained their strength at the last critical moment. The three of them just collided together without exerting any force of collision.
Despite this, San Francisco's offensive linemen still gathered around him with panic on their faces, asking about Lu Ke's status.
Immediately afterwards, the referee threw a yellow flag.
"Intentional throw. Offense No. 14. Ten-yard penalty, third down."
In football games, there are also quite cumbersome and detailed regulations regarding quarterback passing rules, one of which prohibits "deliberately throwing the football to the ground to avoid being sacked and losing yards."
How to understand it?
During each offensive formation, the five players on the offensive line line up, with the two offensive tackles on the left and right as symbols, extending a vertical line. This area is called the "pocket."
When the quarterback stands with both feet in the pocket, his pass must choose a target. When the quarterback's pass direction does not include his own receiving player, this is considered an "intentional throw"; And when the quarterback leaves the pocket area with both feet, there is no limit to the direction of the pass.
It can be understood in the game that when the quarterback is about to encounter a sack, he can look for a direction where his receiving player is, and then pass the football out of the boundary to avoid losing yards from being sacked. This is legal; Or, the quarterback relies on his own feet to run out of the pocket protection area, and then quickly throws the football to the ground before being sacked, creating a dead ball. This is also legal.
There is also a special situation. At a critical moment in the game, the offensive team has no timeouts and the game time is about to run out. In order to pause the game time, the quarterback can throw the ball to stop the clock. In this case, the quarterback's throw must also be thrown directly on the ground between himself and the center, or in the direction where his own players are standing - this is equivalent to an incomplete pass resulting in a dead ball.
Returning to the game, Lu Ke's footsteps could not leave the pocket in time, and no 49ers players could be seen in the direction of the pass, so the referee threw a yellow flag. This is a correct call.
Lu Ke took a deep breath. The strength of the Green Bay Packers defensive team has been significantly improved. Their pressure on the short passing area is increasing step by step. To be precise, this is what Lu Ke expects to see. It's just that the raid just now was not able to predict, and the running route arrangement was at a disadvantage, which directly caused Lu Ke to be unable to find the passing target, which was why he was so embarrassed.
In the blink of an eye, the San Francisco 49ers had to face the dilemma of 19 yards on third down, and the offensive line simply retreated to their own 11-yard line, not far from their own end zone. .
Less than two minutes ago, Rogers came on the stage with great ambitions, but unfortunately suffered a strikeout; now, Lu Ke is also facing the same problem, and it is even more difficult-nineteen yards in third gear. If you are not careful, you may lose your safety. points, which once again proves the truth that the situation in actual games changes all the time.
Everyone knows that Lu Ke will definitely choose to give it a try. It is absolutely impossible for him to choose to advance on the ground conservatively, and then use the running ball to find a more suitable punting position: For San Francisco, entering the fourth quarter After the game, in order to retain a slight possibility of victory, they could not remain conservative.
So, Lu Ke simply cleared the backcourt and openly pushed all five receiving players forward, three on the right and two on the left, with both wings flying together in a posture of passing the ball with all their strength.
"Ready? Ready?"
Before the official kickoff, Lu Ke shouted twice to the left and right respectively. There was no tactical change, but the five receiving players clearly understood the meaning behind the code - this was to confirm whether Jon and Boldin understood. tactics.
This offensive tactic was completed through a discussion before kick-off. Lu Ke described the entire intricate running route in detail. He only hoped that Jon and Boldin would not understand it wrong again. Now, Lu Ke confirmed again, which made the two named receivers feel embarrassed and annoyed, and their ears could not help but feel hot.
As for the egos of the two wide receivers, let's wait until after the game is over.
After confirming, Lu Ke withdrew his gaze, looked forward again, inadvertently cast his gaze towards the two security guards behind him, and then glanced covertly to his left - if the defensive team If the linebackers pay attention to where the quarterback's eyes are, they can notice Lu Ke's small movements. For the defensive team, this is also their game temperament.
Now it depends on whether the Green Bay Packers' linebackers have such ability. If they really observe the changes in details, it means... they have been fooled.
"attack!"
With the sound of Lu Ke announcing the kick-off, Boldin was about to sprint reflexively, but then he remembered Lu Ke's previous instructions again, and he stopped his steps abruptly, and then he could watch. Seeing red figures walking through in an instant.
The players on the right wing like Boldin are Logan and Gene.
Jean quickly rushed forward along the route on the outside of the right wing. After sprinting for about ten yards, he turned a corner and rushed towards the center.
Logan did not rush forward quickly, but stood on the inside of the right wing and took the initiative to rush towards outside linebacker Mike Neal. He hit and pushed him again and again. After squeezing Neal's center of gravity away, he bypassed Neal's. The body also squeezed in towards the central area.
The left wingers on the opposite side of Boldin are Jon and Marcus.
Marcus still chose the slot he was most familiar with, passed through Joe Stanley's position, and took the initiative to meet outside linebacker Clay Matthews. The two became entangled near the linebacker's position. Marcus didn't seem to be in a hurry to get rid of it, he just continued to get stuck in Matthews' position.
Jon continued his simple running route, cutting from the outside to the inside, running a 45-degree diagonal diagonal, and he also cut into the central zone. However, there seemed to be some flaws during the execution. His route just got stuck in the middle area between Logan and Gene, and then the route was confused.
Central area. It's all center ground.
All four receivers gathered in the middle of the field - Marcus and Logan's positioning restrained the defense of the four linebackers; Gene and Jon joined the melee with two cornerbacks, and The two safeties had to follow suit, and now the central area looked like a powder keg, so densely packed and overcrowded that even mosquitoes couldn't fly in, let alone passing the ball.
"Oops!"
The analysts and commentators in the studio couldn't help but frowned, and exclamations just blurted out.
"Jon Baldwin's route running made a mistake again. The matchup in the central zone was originally for short passes, medium passes and long passes, but now that Baldwin broke in, it completely disrupted the orderly flow. The entire central area has become a mess, and the passing target can't be seen at all!"
"God, the chaos of route running before Lu Ke reappeared has reappeared. The preparations of the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason this year are really not in place. Everyone is worried about their wide receiver team. Sure enough, this season You can see this hidden worry has exploded in the opening game. It's not good, it's really not good."
Boldin's attention did not wander. When Logan and Neil formed a confrontation, he started to move.
Considering that the outside linebackers and cornerbacks on this side have already left with Logan and Gene respectively, this allows Boldin to focus all his attention on the inside linebacker AJ Hawke, who just rushed forward. Noticing that Hoke hadn't had time to start, Boldin immediately understood: He was facing safety Morgan Burnett.
This is Lu Ke's grasp of the situation of the game and the reading of the defensive formation.
Just like a running quarterback's read-option offense, Boldin only needs to observe one player, and then he can judge the changes in the entire defensive formation based on the opponent's movements, and then make subsequent adjustments based on his own abilities. There is no need to think, it is just a conditioned reflex action, which allows him to focus all his attention on his route running.
straight line. straight line. straight line.
Boldin kept talking about it, starting from the center-left position on the right wing, rushing forward along the junction of the central zone and the right area, which is actually a very simple goal route - running towards the goal post. route, but the details of Boldin's route are very important. He must join the melee in the central zone and cannot let himself be exposed.
Sure enough, from the corner of Boldin's sight, he could see Logan rushing forward quickly, almost keeping pace with him. Logan's running was very fierce, and with all the power concentrated in the central zone, he instantly defeated all the defensive players. attracted the past.
No one noticed Bouldin!
