Rugby is a team sport, but key players also have the ability to change the situation of the game on their own: undoubtedly, Watt is such a player!
Lu Ke was clearly aware of this, and his attention was focused like never before. After being 100% committed to the game, he gradually had no space to think about the impact of his knee injury, even the tightness and pressure of the protective belt. It has been left behind and has become a part of the body.
Thirty-two yards in the opponent's half and ten yards in the second half.
Lu Ke still didn't panic, and started with defensive reading. Then, Lu Ke disrupted the rhythm of both sides with a series of dazzling kick-off slogans.
"Attack", Lu Ke had just announced the official kick-off, and the referee's whistle and yellow flag had already interrupted the game. Lu Ke took half a beat to catch the football and saw multiple referees rushing into the formation from different angles. During the formation, whistles were constantly blown to remind the players that the game had been interrupted, so Lu Ke relaxed and took two steps back, then dropped the rugby to the ground, making it a dead ball.
The referee immediately announced the penalty.
"Early move, defensive team, No. 53, lost five yards. It's still the second offense."
In the past two attacks, Lu Ke's kick-off rhythm was completely unpredictable. He deliberately delayed the kick-off time, disrupted the rhythm and created tension through different methods and means. Sure enough, during the false kickoff call, the defensive team's No. 53 outside linebacker Joe Mays committed an early foul.
Without a fight, the San Francisco 49ers offense had to advance five yards.
Watt stood there and shook his head helplessly: In terms of layout, calculation and control, Lu Ke is indeed a good player. It is really difficult for the defensive team to gain the upper hand. If the attention is distracted even a little bit, they may fall into Lu Ke's trap. .
But Watt didn't say much, took a deep breath, and then completed the formation again and got ready to kick off again.
The opponent's half-court twenty-seven yard line, five yards on second down.
The two sides once again completed the formation. Lu Ke, who had previously delayed the kick-off rhythm with two consecutive attacks, this time chose to kick off quickly and take a quick shot.
After receiving the ball from Jonathan Goodwin, Lu Ke's footsteps were adjusted in small steps on the spot, and then he moved the football out with his hands and feet, without giving the defensive front any time to break through and confront. He found the Vernon Davis, who is positioned on the inside of the left wing, tries to take advantage of the tight end's opposition in the short passing area to complete advancement and breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus and cornerback Kasim Jackson were highly focused and immediately compressed Vernon's advancement space left and right.
The arc of Lu Ke's pass was still slightly high, and Vernon had to jump up slightly to catch the ball with his hands - the accuracy of such a pass was not at all Lu Ke's level, but more like Kaepernick's level. This also affected the start of the receiving player's further advancement. Vernon had just completed the ball, and before his feet had time to adjust, Mercilus and Kasim had already formed a double attack.
That's not the worst.
After charging forward, Watt discovered that Lu Ke had already completed the pass. With the help of the reaction force of the collision, Watt directly completed the second start of the turn, forming an encirclement from behind, cutting off Vernon's remaining adjustment space - and with Watt Rupadi and Stanley were still unable to maintain their center of gravity in the confrontation, which shows Watt's strong and sturdy physical fitness.
After being ambushed on all sides, Vernon quickly identified the defensive players and rushed towards cornerback Kasim. He used his body size to form a frontal breakthrough and advanced three yards before being stuck. After losing their position, Mercilus and Watt both rushed to complete the defense. Vernon had no chance and was forced to fall to the ground.
The advantage of passing the ball quickly is that it avoids pocket pressure; the disadvantage is that the receiving player has limited space to advance and can only find breakthroughs in densely defended areas.
The issue that really caught Lu Ke's attention was not the rapid rise of Messilus and Kasim, but Watt's accurate judgment - his interpretation of the changes in the situation on the field once again showed Watt's top-notch talent in addition to his physical fitness. The player's super high IQ is the key link that Lu Ke needs to break through.
The opponent's half-court twenty-five yard line, two yards on third down.
Lu Ke once again changed his tactics on the spot. The formation was still a pistol formation, but the two-by-two formation position was changed to a multi-line offensive position. Vernon Davis slowly changed from the left wing to the right wing, joining Logan- With Newman and Anquan Bolding joining the ranks, the right wing suddenly became bloated——
Vernon and Logan are both tight ends, while Boldin is a large wide receiver. The three players are particularly outstanding in their beacon guidance ability in the short passing area. Relatively speaking, their ability to attack in the deep area is slightly weaker. weak.
Naturally, the left wing became even thinner. Ted Jean was guarding it alone. His lightness and agility were like a weak sword with weak wings. He could only take a light and penetrating route and could not defeat the enemy with force.
This is a strange formation, because the styles of the left and right wings are very different and independent of each other. When viewed separately, both sides appear a bit monotonous and thin. This is different from the San Francisco 49ers' usual West Coast offensive tactics, and it is obviously another change of formation.
So, what kind of medicine is sold in Lu Ke's gourd?
"attack!"
Lu Ke chose to kick off quickly, leaving no room for the defensive team to think and change. It seemed to be to further hide the secrets of the entire offensive formation.
Watt's pupils shrank slightly, and without any hesitation or hesitation, he stepped forward instantly to form a confrontation, but his eyes never left Lu Ke's movements. Then you can see that after Lu Ke completed the ball, he quickly turned around and headed towards the horse. Kuss made a football handoff motion.
Is it another fake run and a real pass?
In this wave of offense, this is the third time that he has used the fake running and real passing tactics. Lu Ke is constantly using Marcus as a smoke bomb to cover his offensive intentions. The ultimate goal is to change the rhythm to pass the ball. To set the stage, will we repeat the same trick this time?
Watt's body had collided hard with Stanley and Rupadi. The two players once again joined forces to form a confrontation, but they were firmly stuck in their positions. This made Watt's vision quickly sweep across, driven by intuition. As soon as he stepped down, his footsteps began to move laterally towards his right hand, and he kept moving forward to destroy Stanley's center of gravity.
Then Watt noticed Marcus's movements - pulling horizontally, bending down to hold the ball, looking in all directions, it looked like... holding the ball and attacking on the ground!
This is not a fake run but a real ground push.
All the clues are connected in series: Stanley and Rupadi did not pick up or open the way, but stayed in place and blocked Watt's forward position; the entire offensive team's position was tilted to one side, even seriously overweight, forcing The Texans defense also had to line up on one side, which also made the other side thin.
Marcus chose the relatively thin side!
Under such circumstances, Marcus only needs to form a breakthrough to complete the advance: two yards on third gear. This is a short-yardage advancement distance. For ground offense, it is not difficult at all. San Francisco does not need a large number of yards. The continuous advancement of yardage requires a successful first attack conversion.
Those seemingly fragmented fragments were processed in Watt's mind in the blink of an eye, and his body had instinctively made judgments in advance, just like the hunting instinct of a beast.
Now catching Marcus's lateral movement, Watt instantly completed a second sudden burst of force, knocking Stanley back half a step with a heavy shoulder.
Although it was only half a step, Stanley's center of gravity did shake. Just like a neat building block, a block suddenly came out across the road and intercepted Marcus' sideways running, forcing Marcus to take a detour. While walking, the pace and rhythm were delayed for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Watt bypassed Stanley's entanglement, and at the same time forced Rupati to lose his close defensive position, and then in desperation tried to pull a foul to stop the opponent - but Rupati was not even able to catch Watt. Watt's jersey, Watt had already formed a breakaway one step ahead, but Rupadi made a direct save.
Watt once again showed his top physical fitness, and he is still the top among the top even among professional players. Rupati could only watch helplessly as Watt shook off his entanglement with two long strides - Stanley could not stand firm either.
With an explosive forward attitude, Watt flew towards Marcus like a hungry tiger. Before Marcus could complete his footsteps, Watt grabbed Marcus to the ground one step ahead. There was no chance, and not only was the drive failed, but two yards were lost.
The San Francisco 49ers offense immediately fell into a fourth down and four yard dilemma.
“Texans did it!”
"The Texans defensive team finally intercepted the advance of the 49ers offensive team. JJ Watt alone burst out the energy of two players or even three players. His sense of the game is even more ferocious than a beast, knocking away Stanley, throwing off Rupati, and grappling Lynch, all in one move, and almost with his own strength, he completely pinned San Francisco's advance in place."
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
"With Lu Ke's layout and Watt's adaptability, the confrontation between offense and defense burst out with incredible charm, once again showing us the unique charm of rugby - although the offense is wonderful, the defense can also be Fascinating."
"Before San Francisco further widened the gap, Watt firmly grasped the situation on the court. His continuous pressure from the frontcourt strangled the offense in the dangerous area and did not allow the opponent to completely widen the advantage. Now only the 49ers are left. A 46-yard free kick attempt minimized the damage."
"Wow, it seems that this game is full of more possibilities. The Houston Texans have no intention of surrendering!"
