Above the thirty-two yard line in the opponent's half, ten yards on first down.
In this attack just now, the reason why he chose a trick attack was because Lu Ke noticed the change in the opponent's defensive team's position during the defensive reading process, and verified it through the condescending observation in the tactical room, and then used running ball to Attracting the attention of the defensive team, seizing the opportunity in advance, the advancement was completed through the cross-change of Marcus and Logan.
In other words, this is still the result of an on-the-spot game.
This is still the case. Although the offensive team worked together to complete a beautiful breakthrough, Lu Ke's attention immediately focused again and quickly devoted himself to defensive reading.
The position of the Houston Texans defensive team has not changed significantly, except that the two outside linebackers have been slightly pressed up, which is not obvious but practical. This makes their tactical functions more diverse-whether it is running the ball or passing the ball, Or rushing the quarterback, the confrontation defense in the short passing area can provide more support.
At the same time, the defensive positions of the inside linebackers, cornerbacks, and safeties remained the same, and more efforts were invested in the passing attack, and the tactics were not significantly changed because of a defensive misalignment on a trick attack. Lu Ke speculated that this should be the main tactic of the Texans in the preparation stage before the game.
Therefore, Lu Ke changed his tactics on the spot, changing from a shotgun formation to a pistol formation. This seemed to send a signal: they would change from a passing attack to a ground attack.
Thinking further, Lu Ke returned from injury in this game, and his passing state has not yet returned to its best. In the pre-game preparation stage of the San Francisco 49ers, is it possible that they will rely more on their ground attack? Judging from the several passing attacks since the opening, it seems to confirm this conjecture.
So, should the defensive team adjust tactics on the spot?
Although every defensive player in the league knows that they must not be affected by the quarterback's on-the-spot changes in tactics, otherwise they may lose their attention and fall into passivity when facing Lu Ke or Peyton Manning. This is especially true for tactician masters; but no one is perfect, and every player will inevitably be affected when faced with changes in on-field status.
After adjusting the tactics, Lu Ke did not announce the kickoff immediately. Instead, he stood in the pocket, quietly watched the defensive team, and started the second round of defensive reading.
He did it on purpose.
He deliberately left a time gap to allow the defensive players to "think wildly", expecting that his on-the-spot changes would change the judgment and consciousness of the defensive players. He glanced at the attack countdown from the corner of his eyes and saw that the time had already entered. Five seconds, "Five, four..." Then Lu Ke did not hesitate any longer and immediately announced the kick-off.
"attack!"
Almost at the moment when "one" turned into "zero" at the buzzer, Jonathan Baldwin drove the football out, and Lu Ke started to retreat after holding the ball in both hands.
In order to further disrupt the thinking of the defensive team, Lu Ke turned around and handed the football to Marcus, seeming to be ready to continue the ground attack to the end, but when Marcus passed by, Lu Ke took it back He moved his right hand, but the football was still in his hand. After adjusting his steps, he began to observe the passing route.
Fake running and real passing!
True and false, false and true, Lu Ke is taking advantage of the fact that he has returned from injury to confuse the defensive players' preset judgments and push their on-the-spot performance during the game to the extreme, forcing the opponent's defensive team to make decisions. Adjustment - If they continue to follow the tactics prepared before the game, they will reach a deadlock, and change is the only option; once the situation is broken, loopholes will appear, which is the beginning of an advantage for Lu Ke.
At the same time, Lu Ke also needs more tactical changes to adjust his passing feel. Even if he needs to rely more on ground offense, ground offense alone cannot open up the situation. He still needs passing offense to balance all tactical layouts. Passing is always a technical aspect that quarterbacks cannot avoid.
He is creating more advantageous situations for himself, and then completing adjustments to his passing touch.
But Lu Ke ignored one thing: he was reading, calculating, and laying out, and the defensive players were also reading and calculating. Although the layout ability of the defensive team cannot be compared with Lu Ke, but... one force can defeat ten. Sometimes, strength is more effective than strategy. He missed Watt's sudden explosion.
As soon as his footsteps turned around, Watt formed a collision and pressure like a tiger descending a mountain, and he was close at hand.
…
The changes in the Houston Texans' defensive team completely fell into Lu Ke's calculations - it was originally a tactic that focused on pass defense, but because of Lu Ke's series of changes, their position did not change, but their attention quietly disappeared. Leaning toward the ground defense, all eyes were paying attention to Marcus's every move.
When Lu Ke handed the ball to Marcus after the kickoff, the linebackers and cornerbacks almost immediately chose to sprint forward, smugly thinking that they had seen through Lu Ke's tactical changes and prepared to Investing in ground defense, he strongly blocked Marcus' ground advancement. Even the safety guard tilted his center of gravity slightly forward, ready to defend at any time.
But immediately after the fake run and real pass came out, the defensive team hurriedly braked, adjusted their focus again, and prepared to launch pass defense, but they had already lost their defensive position, and the second-line defensive matchup instantly fell into a disadvantage.
At the same time, only three defensive linemen were deployed on the defensive front. The two inside linebackers were stuck in their positions, preparing to move to cover according to the direction of Marcus' breakthrough, instead of rushing forward to pass the ball; this This also made the Texans only apply pressure during the confrontation between the two fronts, and did not launch a rash pass rush. The offensive fronts were able to withstand the impact.
If this confrontation formation continues, Lu Ke will be able to complete the pass, pass the ball to open the gap in the mid-pass area, and continue to advance.
The only surprise was Watt.
At the moment of kickoff, Watt adjusted his defensive strategy. With a pull in the inside direction, he missed offensive tackle Joe Stanley's frontal position, and formed a one-on-one confrontation with offensive guard Mike Rupatti. Then Watt used his physical advantage to hit Rupati hard and fiercely - not to break through, but to apply pressure.
Although Rupadi did not lose his defensive position, in the head-on collision confrontation, he alone could not withstand Watt's impact - Stanley tried to help, but because of the staggered position, he could only interfere, but could not Sharing Rupati's pressure head-on also made Rupati face the sudden and violent impact of Watt on his own, and could only retreat step by step.
Regress! Regress! Backsliding again!
In just one or two seconds, Watt was like a bulldozer, forcefully pushing Rupati into the pocket, and then rushed towards Lu Ke like a bull from a mountain.
Watt didn't need to make a sack at all, he just continued to destroy Rupati's center of gravity balance, forcing Rupati to interfere with Lu Ke's passing line of sight while retreating, squeezing Lu Ke's pocket movement space, and even directly causing a collision, exerting With enough pressure, this is already a successful defense.
So, an accident happened like this - the Texans only used a three-man pass rushing tactic, but Watt took the lead in seeking changes, using his personal ability to create a breakthrough, creating a storm of pressure, breaking the balance, and it happened in the blink of an eye. Arriving in front of Lu Ke, he then used the collision and squeezing of the air waves to disrupt Lu Ke's passing rhythm.
Not only that, Watt is also continuing to destroy Rupati's center of gravity. With a little negligence or misalignment, Watt can bypass Rupati and wait for an opportunity to further complete the sack.
The sudden burst of personal ability became the key to changing the situation in this offensive and defensive confrontation!
…
Lu Ke finished the fake running and had only time to turn around. Before he could adjust his steps, he could see Watt's unstoppable figure like a beast in his sight. The fierce momentum burst out and swallowed up mountains and rivers. Rupati was retreating steadily. Stanley tried to interfere but was helpless like an ant shaking a tree.
Rolling air waves are coming!
Watt was already close at hand, and that strong and majestic domineering power had climbed up Lu Ke's arms. Every inch of his muscles tightened, sounding the alarm. Lu Ke didn't have time to think. He moved his steps laterally and raised his arms. The pass was completed with his right hand, avoiding a sack before the pocket was completely torn.
But in the panic, Lu Ke lost enough influence on the passing arc. The passing parabola was slightly higher than expected. He failed to create the rapid falling effect of the shadow pass behind the shoulder, and directly passed An Kuang-Bo. Erdin's head flew out of the sideline, creating an incomplete pass.
As soon as the rugby ball was released, Watt and Rupati stumbled over. Although they braked in an emergency, they lost their center of gravity and still crashed into Lu Ke one after another. However, this was no longer a grapple or a capture, it was just the most ordinary collision. Lu Ke moved two steps to relieve his strength, and then stood firmly.
Seeing the football fly out of the sideline, Lu Ke shook his head slightly, then turned to look at Watt: This was the only unexpected factor in the attack and defense just now.
Watt gasped for air, adjusted his breathing, and met Lu Ke's gaze with stern eyes. His confident expression seemed to be sending a signal: I said, I am ready to fight, fight with all my strength. ! It's just the beginning!
Lu Ke looked at Watt through the helmet, raised his chin slightly, and looked back with his eyes unwilling to be outdone: Then let's fight to the end and see who can have the last laugh!
No words were spoken, but the two best friends completed a powerful conversation invisibly. Now this game is becoming more and more interesting!
Not only did Lu Ke have no worries and fears, but he actually ignited the flames of war. The excitement and pleasure of the battle between masters burst out without reservation, which made Lu Ke's fighting spirit high! Then let’s see whether Lu Ke’s spear is sharper or Watt’s shield is thicker!
