The offense above the one-yard line in front of the end zone was not the opponent's end zone, but our own end zone. This also put the San Francisco 49ers offensive team at a complete disadvantage and in trouble.
The Green Bay Packers defensive team went all out to rush the pass. The seven defensive frontmen rushed towards the offensive line like a scourge. They burst out with a mighty momentum and a do-or-die determination, instantly forcing the offensive line to the point. They were defeated, but... just when they were about to completely compress and encircle them, the opponent's quarterback completed the pass at the critical moment!
In an instant, the advantages and disadvantages were reversed: the defensive team's second-line defense fell into passivity, while the offensive team's receiving team seized the opportunity.
Three receivers vs four secondary defenses.
At the moment of the kickoff, Logan started his pace, but instead of sprinting straight to pull the route, he made a forward trend in small steps to test the opposite cornerback Sam Shields.
Because the Packers defense pressed forward, the space between Logan and Shields was less than three yards, and the two were almost inseparable. Now Logan moved his center of gravity with small steps. Shields stared at Logan intently and began to move step by step.
The two of them were dancing an Argentine tango, testing each other as they advanced and retreated, pushed and blocked, entangled with each other within the five-yard area; at the same time, all the other players had already rushed out— - Boldin, who is on the same side as Logan, and Gene, who is on the opposite side of Logan, use their own running routes to rush forward quickly, pushing the positions of the other three defensive players towards The backcourt.
Although the defensive team did not have much advantage in the "three vs four" matchup, and the offensive team did not fall behind by many disadvantages, from the perspective of matchup and layout, the defensive team still had a slight advantage; however, Logan's sight From the corner of his eye, he could notice that the attention of the other three defensive players had all been diverted to the right half by Boldin and Jean. Whatever the reason, this gave Logan a wide space to advance.
Logan's attention did not wander. He just used the corner of his vision to capture the movement trend of the defensive players. There was no slack in his steps and he started instantly.
Forward. brake. Change direction. Go forward again. Brake again. Change direction again.
In the short space of three to four yards, Logan continuously used his physical fitness to complete sudden stops and turns; Shields did not dare to take it lightly, and his physical fitness was not weak at all, barely keeping up. He lost his rhythm, but completely lost his own initiative. Like a marionette, he could only passively follow the direction, and then his body's center of gravity began to shake during the continuous transformation.
Logan suddenly accelerated, bypassing Shields' body position, and jumped out in the opposite direction of the movement of his body's center of gravity. This caused Shields to spin like a top that had lost its center of gravity, and hurriedly followed him forward. Before they had time to take a step forward, the two people were already half a step away.
From close guarding to being half a step behind, the whole process was just a matter of breath and breath. Then Shields saw Logan complete the turn along the footsteps. He had just started to face him sideways, but now he had turned to face him. Relatively speaking, this also means that Logan is ready to catch the ball.
Oops!
Every cell and pore in Shields' body sounded the alarm. His steps began to stagger, but with his full concentration, he burst out with incredible energy, forcibly shortening the distance between the two people by half a step, fiercely And flew towards Logan violently.
Logan seized the opportunity in advance and kept his body's center of gravity stable during the continuous changes of direction. His eyes noticed that Shields' footsteps and center of gravity had swayed slightly. Without any hesitation, he burst out with a second start of power, a step forward. In just one step, he missed the opponent's position, overtook Shields' position like a gust of wind, and sprinted forward with all his strength.
step! Two steps!
Logan just used two long strides to slightly open up the space between the two of them!
Although the current receiving space is still too narrow, almost dancing on the sky, far from the ideal state; but Logan knows that in this offense, Lu Ke will face the pressure of passing the ball. Time continues to grow, and he has no time to continue to delay or hesitate——
As he rushed forward, his peripheral vision was like a sunflower, always catching the arc of the rugby ball in mid-air. When his footsteps passed Shields' defense, he successfully saw the slightly curved rugby ball. Rotating towards him quickly, the entire arc is still slightly flat, and the shuttle ball's rotation speed is not as fast, which also means that the passing power and control are slightly softer.
make a prompt decision!
The stride had just been completed, and before he had time to withdraw his strength, Logan followed the inertia of the forward movement and made a clockwise turn with his left foot as the center of the circle. Then he changed from sideways to back - with his back to In the opponent's half, facing your own half, the upper body begins to lean back, maintaining an angle consistent with the falling arc of the football.
Kick, kick, kick!
After three consecutive small step backward adjustments, Logan completely caught up with Lu Ke's passing rhythm and caught the football firmly on his chest with both hands.
Before the football was completely under control, Shields had already pounced forward, and Logan continued to retreat. Shields staggered, and Logan retreated. Neither of them could step on the familiar node, but this time The difference in strength between the two sides can be seen in the details.
Logan retreated while adjusting to the left, which was exactly opposite to the inertia of Shields coming around the bend. Then you can see that Shields skidded out to the outside under the action of centrifugal force; while Logan followed the adduction arc. The line was wound back, and the positions of the two people were staggered again as they entered and exited.
Shields' hands slapped randomly on Logan's arm, but he couldn't exert any force at all. Before he could apply further pressure, he rushed out uncontrollably, watching Logan helplessly. Gen firmly controlled the football, adjusted his steps in the chaos, turned quickly again, and then was already in front of the Packers' half again, kicked the ground hard with both feet, and started to start.
Shields was so angry that he threw himself forward with all his strength. His footsteps followed the direction of the centrifugal force and made a large arc to avoid the danger of his center of gravity being completely thrown away. Then he circled back and followed Luo Gen's footsteps caught up, trying to complete the defense again, but there was only one step away between the two, but because of the deviation of the running track, Shields was unable to complete the tackle immediately.
"What the hell! What the hell! What the hell!"
Shields gritted his teeth and kept chasing.
Logan has completely entered a state of selflessness. The red, white and green colors in the field have lost their meaning. His sight firmly takes in all the defensive positions around him.
After adjusting in small steps to complete his turn, he could clearly feel the relentless pursuit behind him, but it was just a hair's breadth away; so, he followed the arc surrounding his inner side and kept calm. The distance between himself and the pursuer behind him was reduced, and he continued to rush horizontally towards the central area on the inside.
The two safeties, Morgan Burnett and MD Jennings, were half a beat too slow to realize their error in judgment - all their attention was focused on the other half, directly ignoring Logan, Jennings and Gene was tangled up and had no time to return to defense; Bonnet quickly retreated and stood there, waiting to intercept Logan's running route.
Logan didn't panic at all. With the burst of adrenaline, he tilted his steps inward along his own arc. Not only did he throw Shields farther and farther away, but he also bypassed Bonnet's defensive position and forced He had to quickly change direction and start running parallel to follow Logan's pace.
At this time, Logan also noticed the figure of inside linebacker Brad Jones who was running back with all his strength, so he was caught in the dilemma of three players surrounding him from different directions. Logan made a judgment in a flash of lightning. And choice, a pause and a push changed the direction of the lateral movement, pushing towards the deep area directly towards the goal.
You can see Bonet arriving in advance.
Logan raised his left hand and made a heavy downward pressure on Bonet's shoulder. The sudden burst of force pushed Bonet's position away, and then he crossed over Bonet's blocking position. , completed an incredible breakthrough towards the front, but this little time delay allowed Brad and Shields to catch up, forming double teams on the left and right.
Logan still did not give up. He tried to start again, but unexpectedly, Bonet, who had just fallen, hooked Logan's calf with his ankle. Under the continuous push of the powerful upper body, Logan had no time to adjust and directly He fell forward, and was then pinned to the ground by Brad and Shields.
"Pass! It was a... twenty to twenty-two yards or so pass, found Logan Newman!"
"Caught it!"
"Newman made a beautiful catch while cornerback Shields was guarding him! Get away! Newman then used his footwork to get rid of Shields! Newman continued to advance! Twenty-five yards! Three Ten yards! Thirty-five yards! Newman's advance is so fast! God, Burnett is covering up! Jones is covering up!"
"Forty yards! Newman keeps going! Forty-five yards!"
"Wow! Newman! Newman pushed away Bonnet's frontal impact with his own arm. His breakthrough has exceeded the midline and cut into the Green Bay Packers half! Newman fell to the ground, Jones and Shields completed The defensive task was completed, and this pass was finally completed!"
"Incredible! This is definitely an incredible push! Under the double-team of three defensive players, Logan Newman showed his excellent style as the league's No. 1 tight end!"
