The San Francisco 49ers are changing, and so are the Green Bay Packers. The coaching staffs of both sides stand on the sidelines, but there is never any time to breathe, and they continue to seek changes based on the situation on the field.
Lu Ke's eyes fell on the stepped defense in front of him. The defensive front, linebacker, cornerback, and safety guard listed four parallel lines, including the position of the linebacker and cornerback, the cornerback and The positions of the safety guards were mixed with each other, confusing each other's defensive positions, trying to disrupt Lu Ke's defensive reading in this way.
Obviously, the fifteen-yard pass between Lu Ke and Boldin sounded the alarm for the Green Bay Packers.
If it is a top defensive team like the Baltimore Ravens or Seattle Seahawks, they may choose to make partial adjustments to add insurance to their defense, but will not significantly change the defensive tactics, because the players' own abilities are enough to adapt to the situation. ; But the Green Bay Packers' defensive team does not have such capabilities, forcing them to adjust their overall tactics.
Lu Ke's brain immediately began to work at high speed, but he did not jump to the conclusion immediately. Instead, he bent down and prepared to kick off. Then he disrupted the rhythm with a series of fake kick-off slogans that seemed to be real, and then his eyes caught it keenly. When it comes to the movement of inside linebacker AJ Hawke's center of gravity swinging slightly.
This further confirmed Lu Ke’s conjecture——
Hoke just took a small half step laterally to his left side, which also means that the defensive task of the two inside linebackers is not to mark the running back, but to help defend the short passing area.
Of course, just this doesn't explain too many problems, because other players still have countless potential changes. They can raid the quarterback, retreat to defend long passes, compress short passes forward, and disrupt defensive duties to complete cross-over substitutions. Bits...and so on and so forth.
However, based on the positioning layout of Green Bay's entire defensive team, Lu Ke believes that the most likely event is to hand over the short passing area to the two inside linebackers to assist in defense, while the outside linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties will be spread out in layers. Defend mid-pass and long-pass areas. Now it depends on whether Lu Ke's idea can be further confirmed after kick-off.
"attack!"
Hawke and another inside linebacker, Brad Jones, had just returned to their defensive positions. Lu Ke immediately announced the official kickoff. He glanced quickly from the corner of his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Hawke and Brad both moved towards the outside of themselves. Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke's eyes swept over, and then he could see the two outside linebackers retreating vertically.
The entire defensive formation was immediately clear.
Without any hesitation, Lu Ke raised his right hand and passed the football cleanly. He only made two small adjustments in the pocket, increased the passing speed with a short, flat and fast rhythm, and then defended All the players in the team had just moved their center of gravity and were forced to immediately shift their center of gravity. The strength and rhythm of the defense immediately weakened.
The passing target is - No. 81 Ankuang Boldin!
…
Boldin, who was positioned on the outside of the right wing, started to move. From the corner of his vision, he could see Logan on his left rushing forward like an arrow, restraining the pace of outside linebacker Neal. The two of them instantly It had been entangled five yards away and was still moving forward.
Boldin did not increase his speed, always taking small steps to quickly adjust, making an arc from the outside to the inside, falling behind Logan and Neal, watching the inside linebacker Hall already He sprinted over horizontally, but Hall's attention was completely focused on Marcus - Marcus also pulled towards the small diagonal line on the right, rushing towards the direction of Boldin's original position. the right sideline.
Hawke's eyes were completely locked on Marcus, who was unmarked and in no man's land, so much so that his footsteps swept past Boldin.
Boldin couldn't believe his eyes. His only thought now was: How did Lu Ke's tactical arrangements be predicted in advance? But he didn't have time to think carefully. He kept cutting in and rushed over. Neal and Hawke were two defensive players on his left and right. However, the two defensive players faced him with their backs and didn't pay attention at all. To Boldin's run.
Boldin cut inside like no one was in the slot, about six yards vertically from the line of scrimmage.
As soon as his steps were in place, Lu Ke's pass followed.
Boldin didn't need to adjust his position or steps at all. He smoothly received the pass near his chest. The strength was still slightly beyond imagination. It seemed that Lu Ke was worried that his passing strength was not enough, so he deliberately strengthened his tail strength. But he lost control slightly, which caused the football to hit his chest hard, causing a dull pain.
However, the position and angle were perfect. Without any pause, Boldin pushed his right foot hard on the ground and completed the turn with his left foot as the center of the circle. He changed from sideways to frontal sprint and began to exert force towards the end zone. .
Right in front, you can see cornerback Tramon rushing towards Boldin with a face full of surprise, blocking the direction of progress; at the same time, inside linebacker Hawke, who was watching the completion of the pass connection, was also stunned. With a panicked face, he braked suddenly and controlled his speed towards Marcus, forcing himself to turn around and start again, trying to defend Boldin.
I saw Boldin lowering his center of gravity slightly, using his shoulders to meet Telamon's tackle, relying on the power of his forward acceleration to knock Telamon back again and again. Before he had time to breathe, the two of them were like this Stumbling across the first offensive line; Hawke, who was half a beat too late to catch up, swooped down and knocked down both Boldin and Tramon, ending the offensive advance.
Boldin has scored the first attack twice in a row, completely different from the previous games!
How is this going?
In fact, it is not complicated. To put it simply, Lu Ke made a correct prediction——
Obviously, the Green Bay Packers defensive team was more vigilant about Lu Ke's long pass and saw through Lu Ke's tactical foreshadowing; Lu Ke did the opposite and further confirmed his ability through defensive reading and false kickoff testing. Guessing, he pushed the receiving player's running route out of the way, pushing it into the mid-pass and long-pass areas; at the same time, he arranged the simplest blind method in the short-pass area, Marcus came to attract attention and gain the advantage. Erding as a passing target.
Boldin's running route is not complicated, but it still requires a little coordination. After Lu Ke repeatedly warned him, his route finally made no mistakes.
Of course, Lu Ke still left a way out for himself. If the Packers defensive team's formation and positioning are smoke bombs, then Logan will become a more suitable receiving point; if the Packers defensive team notices Boldin position, then Marcus will be activated as a receiving point.
After the kick-off, Lu Ke first noticed Hawke's movement route, and then Tramon's movement route: the former chose to defend Marcus, and the latter faced Boldin, but retreated early. All of this happened. Lu Ke's prediction proved to be accurate, so he raised his knife and found Boulding.
The most incredible scene occurred on the court.
"...Both players Hawke and Neal are marking other receiving players, which makes their backs to each other, but the gap between the two becomes a channel for Boldin to break through the defense, easily Song completed the ball, it was just a simple forward cross route, but he successfully gained a first attack."
"Wow!"
"The San Francisco 49ers' offensive tactics are indeed very sophisticated, aren't they? Because the shots are very fast, the defensive fronts don't get many opportunities, and the entire offense is crisp and pleasing to the eye! What I am most curious about now is Lu Ke's brain. How do you calculate all this? Faced with Lu Ke's prediction and layout, the Packers defensive team really couldn't find many opportunities."
The Green Bay Packers defensive team made changes, and Lu Ke made further changes based on their changes. Although Lu Ke's tactical arrangement has become complicated and cumbersome due to the presence of Jon and Boldin, but now it seems that at least the effect is worthy of recognition, which is a good thing.
Packers defensive coach Dom Capers is 63 years old this year and has been a coach in the league for more than 30 years. Maybe he is not a pioneering and innovative coach, but he is a experienced coach. As a coach on the battlefield, although the defensive team is not their strength now, Capers continues to look for opportunities——
The initiative to win this game is still in their hands. The defensive team can be a little more aggressive and give it a try, which does no harm.
So you can see that the Packers defensive team has seven players lined up on the front line: three defensive linemen against five offensive linemen, two cornerbacks against two receivers, and two outside linebackers against the other two. A wide receiver and a tight end.
In fact, there is still no essential difference in the entire matchup position, but the defensive team has placed all players at the forefront, standing on both sides of the Chu-He-Han boundary. This not only means applying more pressure, but also means As soon as the receiving player starts, the defensive players start to defend closely. It also means that the defensive team can abandon the receiving player at any time, cut directly into the pocket, and execute the quarterback surprise tactic.
This is a very aggressive defensive formation - based on Lu Ke's previous offensive tactics, they further developed a more provocative defense.
At the same time, the two inside linebackers and the two safety guards opened their distance slightly to guard against Lu Ke's surprise long pass.
Lu Ke stood in the pocket, his head working quickly, but facing the Green Bay Packers' blatant defensive formation, the conspiracy turned into a conspiracy. He had no way to make arrangements in advance. Now it depends on what happens after the kickoff. The situation has changed, so how should the running route be arranged?
Lu Ke calmed down, exchanged a look with Marcus standing next to him, and then announced the kickoff.
"attack!"
