Luke Kickley will never underestimate any of his opponents, because when arrogance and pride begin to grow, it means that the guard is relaxed. Strategically despising his opponents and tactically paying attention to them, this is his consistent style of play, and it is the same in today's game.
Lu Ke's fake run and real pass failed to deceive Kikli.
As a middle linebacker, Kickley's main task is to mark the running back and defend short passes. Since this is a fake run and a real pass, his next actions are very clear. His footsteps stayed in place and his center of gravity maintained mobility. , it was not until Lu Ke's passing action took shape that he made a move in the direction he judged.
Left side!
Marcus Lynch! Ted Jean!
Kickley used his peripheral vision to take the immediate changes in defensive matchups into his mind early on. He immediately realized that there was only one cornerback and one outside linebacker on the left wing, and they were not guarding each other. Marcus and Geely were guarding each other. Endu can have a gap to receive the ball, not to mention whether he can destroy the pass. Once the opponent completes the ball, the danger of continuing to advance is also very serious. Now that Lu Ke's passing action was confirmed, Kikli reacted immediately.
Start, sprint, move sideways.
But Kikli's eyes still did not leave Lu Ke, because he knew clearly that Lu Ke was a quarterback with excellent adaptability. Any slight loophole might become an opportunity for Lu Ke to change tactics on the spot, and then he saw it Lu Ke's right arm paused for a moment when the ball was released, and then he used his waist to twist the ball, changing the direction of the pass from a 30-degree angle on the right side to a direction facing the goal.
Vernon Davis!
Vernon's position was three yards diagonally in front of Kickley, and there were no defensive players within a three-yard radius around Vernon.
To make matters worse, Kickley's teammates on the left, outside linebacker Jason Williams (Jason Williams) and safety guard Mike Mitchell, had lost their center of gravity and rushed towards the position of Gene and Marcus. In the past, this also meant that Gene single-handedly created a space to continue to advance, and Vernon only needed to complete the ball.
A critical moment!
Kikli did not lose his center of gravity, and his body burst out with powerful energy. He instantly reversed his position and flew towards Vernon. When he saw that his footsteps were about to hit Vernon, he was about to throw his center of gravity completely. At that moment, he noticed Lu Ke's movements again from the corner of his eyes.
Take back.
After making two consecutive passing actions, Lu Ke retracted his right arm and returned to the starting action of passing and observing.
Damn damn damn!
Every muscle in Kikli's body sounded the alarm, bursting out huge energy again, and abruptly completed the emergency brake. Before hitting Vernon and losing his center of gravity, he regained control of his body, and then quickly stopped. In place, but now his pupils began to shake violently and he lost his target.
Lu Ke's continuous fake moves completely disrupted Kikli's judgment and deployment, once! twice! There is actually a third time! Even though Kikli maintained a high degree of concentration, he could not keep up with the rhythm. He now had no idea how Lu Ke would choose to attack.
That kind of passivity and panic of being led by the nose is really too bad!
But Lu Ke was not confused at all. He adjusted his steps calmly and immediately, leaving no room for the defensive players to breathe. He raised his hand and completed the pass!
Kikli had no time to think and judge, and could only passively watch Lu Ke's right arm, like pulling a bow, completely pulling the entire bow string, and then quickly pushed the football out in one coherent movement of his body. This time, it’s not a fake move!
The rugby ball drew a full parabola in the air in the other direction.
Kikli subconsciously made a conditioned reflex and moved his steps to follow the flight direction of the rugby ball. He still had no intention of giving up assisting and supplementing defense, but he gave up as soon as he took a step forward.
It’s not that we are passive and slow in our work, but that we are unable to catch up.
Judging from the parabola of football, this is a super long pass of more than thirty yards. He cannot catch up with it just by relying on his feet, and short-range bursts and absolute speed are not his strengths; now he can only send I hope that my second-line defensive teammates can get stuck in position in advance.
Damn it! Doesn't it mean that Lu Ke's passing touch has not fully recovered? The first long pass was attempted in the London Bowl two weeks ago. Why did the first pass in today's game choose a long pass?
…
Logan Newman knew he was a target for the pass.
In the second tactical call before the kickoff, Lu Ke noticed through defensive reading that safety guard Quentin Mikel was positioned too far back, and also noticed rookie cornerback Melvin-White. )'s positioning was also problematic, which also meant that there was a gap in the middle of the left-wing half.
Safety guard Quentin came out halfway. He was temporarily signed into the main lineup because both of the Panthers' starting safety guards were injured. His absolute strength is relatively weak and he relies more on experience to complete the game.
Although cornerback Malvin was an undrafted rookie, his performance was particularly outstanding. After eight games so far, the quarterback's passing rating in his direction is only 58.9. Regardless of his performance in the past four games, he is also a cornerback with outstanding personal abilities; but his personality is very irritable. He especially hoped to prove on the court that his failure to be drafted was because of the mistakes of the scouts, so he was very aggressive in the game. He tried to intercept the ball many times, but instead lost his position.
Although Lu Ke's second tactical slogan only has three words, the meaning is absolutely clear and straightforward. When translated from the secret code into vernacular, it is: cornerback confrontation, tight end straight line, long pass.
Because Vernon's position is close to the offensive line, this also means that his role function is to confront the front line in the short passing area, and the tactical function has not changed; then Lu Ke's tight end target for changing the tactical position is naturally Logan.
After a brief reminder, Logan immediately noticed the positions of Malvin and Quentin, and all the running routes were quickly formed in his mind.
"attack!"
The sound of Lu Ke's kick was heard in his ears. Logan pushed his right leg on the ground with all his strength, and rushed forward with his head buried in the air, rushing towards outside linebacker Thomas Davis like a high-speed train.
Among the entire Carolina Panthers defensive team, Thomas is the only one in a special position. His positioning was not implemented according to the rules and regulations. He first faced Vernon, then retreated behind Kickley, and then moved toward him. Moving laterally to the outside, he seemed to be playing guerrilla throughout.
But Logan was not affected at all and sprinted with all his strength regardless, and then he could see Thomas moving sideways and rushing towards him.
Not only was Logan not slowing down but he was still accelerating.
The positions of the two people formed a cross, but there was no expected head-on collision. Thomas only had time to push Logan's arm with both hands, but Logan burst out with his powerful speed, which made Thomas like Like ants shaking a big tree, they couldn't create any shaking at all. They could only watch as Logan passed Thomas's position with a "swish", and the two people passed by each other.
At this time, Thomas had lost his position, but from the corner of his vision, he could see teammate cornerback Malvin standing in the path of Logan's continuous advance. He immediately made a judgment and let him rush forward to meet the emergency. Wide receiver Boldin braked, then handed tight end Logan to Malvern for matchup.
But unexpectedly, Malvern had a very strong awareness of stepping up. Before Thomas continued to move, he had already followed Boldin's sudden stops and turns and started running back and forward. If there is an opportunity to intercept or destroy a pass, Malvern will never miss it.
It was this step forward that caused Malvern and Logan's centers of gravity to stagger.
At this time, Malvin saw Thomas moving laterally to defend Boldin. He immediately turned his gun and prepared to catch up with Logan. However, because he was too hasty and anxious, the soles of his feet began to slip, and his hands and feet were also involved. He controlled his body, like a spider on skates, looking extremely clumsy. Not only was he unable to catch up with Logan, but he also watched Logan's back drift away.
Speed wasn't Logan's strength, but strength was.
With absolute power, he burst out like a tiger going down the mountain, forcibly knocked away Thomas, and then forcibly overtook Malvern. He had just rushed forward for about fifteen yards, and Logan had already used his running position to open up a gap. Ke's prediction was completely accurate, and he immediately caught the position of safety guard Quentin out of the corner of his eye.
Obviously, the stormy waves on the other side also attracted Quentin's attention. His footsteps moved back and forth. Although he did not change his center of gravity and defense, he did not move towards Logan immediately.
This leaves plenty of room for Logan to accelerate!
Speed up!
Speed up again!
The forty yard line!
Forty-five yard line!
Midfield line!
Forty-five yard line!
In the blink of an eye, Logan's footsteps had arrived at the 45-yard line of the Carolina Panthers' half without encountering many obstacles, which allowed his running to remain stable; then he quickly turned around and with a small He adjusted his body in small steps, keeping an eye on Quentin's movement with his peripheral vision. The next second he saw the football spinning rapidly towards him!
Because the tactical change was too hasty, Logan had no way to judge where Lu Ke's long pass would land. Instead, Lu Ke completed the pass based on Logan's position.
Logan just caught it with his eyes and made an immediate judgment. He continued to move forward in small steps, kept his upper body balanced, and then steadily caught the football near the 40-yard line!
At the same time, Quentin, who was maintaining a high degree of concentration, had also swooped over! 2k reading network
