"7:7".
The San Francisco 49ers kicked the ball off and the Carolina Panthers returned the ball.
The Carolina Panthers chose to try to counterattack, and achieved good results through the pick-and-roll of the special team, and counterattacked to the 30-yard line; but unexpectedly, a yellow flag foul occurred on the field.
The referee determined that the attacking team committed a serious foul of pulling on the helmet and visor, and was penalized fifteen yards, so the Panthers had to retreat to their own fifteen-yard line to start the offense.
Cam Newton is back!
Cam stood in the pocket of the offensive line, chewing gum fiercely, his high and strong fighting spirit rising, he was the No. 1 pick! He is the proud man of heaven! He is the champion who should enjoy the halo of cheering! He is the real winner!
In today's game, he will shut up all the doubters with his upright performance, and the noisy and shameless No. 14 will also shut up completely!
The Carolina Panthers set up a traditional multi-lane offense with a pistol formation.
A wide receiver on the left, three receivers on the right, and the running back stand four yards behind Cam on the vertical line. This is a quite basic offensive formation. The only feature is that it is more obviously tucked in, and the two wings are stationed. The outermost player is just around the outer edge of the slot. The entire offensive team's position is very compact, with Cam as the center of the circle.
The entire formation has a faint conical arrow shape. This is a game-breaking formation that is more inclined to ground advancement. It is very normal to open the situation with a strong ground advancement at the fifteen-yard line of one's own side; but the wide receivers on both wings can Easily use the slot to tear out the route, which can also be changed into a quick short pass or a screen short pass tactic.
Specific operations and execution can still be done on the spot.
In tit for tat, the San Francisco 49ers also shrunk their entire defensive formation.
Except for the two cornerbacks who are facing the two receivers on the outermost position, all other defensive players have shrunk their positions to the center.
Three defensive linemen and two outside linebackers stood in a line, facing each other's offensive linemen's pocket protection; an inside linebacker stood in staggered positions behind the defensive linemen, between the two teammates. Standing in the gap, facing the running back, his steps are almost at the level of a shadow, standing with heels touching toes.
There is another inside linebacker who unexpectedly did not go to the side where the multi-line offense is focused, but came to the side of the single receiver, standing on the same vertical line as the offensive guard on the same side. And his footsteps are only two steps behind his outside linebacker teammates.
Even the positions of the two safety guards have been cut to within the ten-yard line. One safety guard is in the middle of the formation and is roaming ten yards away when the first offensive conversion is completed; the other safety guard comes to the multi-line attack On the side of the personnel hoard, the cornerback teammates on this side are constantly wandering around.
If the Carolina Panthers' offensive formation has shrunk, then the San Francisco 49ers' defensive formation has shrunk even more, putting the entire focus on the confrontation between Chu and Han. Although the pass rush attack is a strong pressure tactic, the movement changes of the four linebackers can evolve infinite possibilities between offense and defense.
Last season, when the four linebackers all entered their peak form, their movements were almost impossible to predict in advance. They could rush the quarterback, intercept the running back, drop back to defend short passes, and even occasionally Assisting in mid-pass defense, the pressure created by the defensive frontline is often difficult for the opposing offensive team to withstand.
Now, the two sides are in confrontation again.
Cam noticed the obvious changes in the opponent's defensive team's formation. He moved his kick-off position earlier, changing from the pistol formation to the "I" formation, which seemed to further emphasize the offensive team's determination to run the ball on the ground - after all In the first wave of offense, the Panthers successfully opened up the situation by running the ball seven times and passing the ball twice. So what now?
However, Cam did not change his tactical slogan.
Cam then stood behind his center and immediately called the kickoff.
After catching the football with both hands, Cam turned around and retreated, holding the ball with one hand, and made a motion to hand over the football to the fast-stepping running back Torbert; at the same time, the offensive line pushed the defensive line towards the left, Completely clearing out the entire right side, which is stocked with three receivers.
Fake running and real passing!
Cam didn't hand the football to Torbert, but feinted a shot, turned around, then made an arc and rushed towards his right side - since the opponent put all the defensive focus If he is hoarding in front, he will choose to pass the ball and attack, using the numerical advantage of multi-line attack to complete the breakthrough.
But Cam just turned around and faced the direction of the attack again, and then he saw Aldon Smith rushing over face to face. There was no one else between the two of them, and Cam just shouted like this Exposed to Aldon's sack range.
what happened?
The player facing outside linebacker Aldon should be the offensive tackle on the right side of the offensive line, or one of the three receivers on the right wing; but after the kickoff, Aldon did not follow the receiver. The retreat movement directly formed the front conflict and broke through resolutely.
Obviously, Aldon saw through the tactic of fake running and real passing, and boldly gave up the confrontation of the three receiving players. Instead, he ignored the running position of the receiving players and ran straight towards the quarterback. Because the tactics were executed very resolutely, there was no room for hesitation, and Cam was caught off guard.
The three receiving players have already rushed forward and become entangled with other defensive players, but now the entire right wing has been completely cleared, leaving only Aldon and Cam in a one-on-one confrontation.
"Aldon VS Cam"!
Aldon's tactics were very resolute, and he grabbed half a beat. When Cam completed his turn, Aldon's footsteps were already close at hand. He did not raise his hands, but sprinted with all his strength, and the momentum of the fierce and brutal collision was so great. Cam reflexively began to step back.
But the speed and rhythm of the retreat step and the forward step are not on the same level at all.
Cam had just taken two big steps back when Ardon rushed down the mountain and accurately grabbed Cam's waist before Cam could change his center of gravity.
"Can't give up! Can't give up! Can't give up!"
Cam gritted his teeth. If he gave up now, wouldn't he lose to Lu Ke? He absolutely cannot bear the humiliation of being slapped in the face!
What's more important is that Cam's steps have already entered the end zone during continuous retreats. If he is sacked here, he will directly lose the safety point - two points, and he will be handed over again. The score advantage is given to the opponent. Scored consecutively by the opponent in less than thirty seconds? This kind of shame is something Cam strongly rejects!
Cam began to push hard on the ground, pushing his physical fitness to the extreme. It was obviously Aldon who was the first to complete the grapple and was even preparing to achieve the sack, but Aldon's center of gravity was driven by Cam, and then he saw Aldon's whole body flew up, turning like a rattle. Cam firmly maintained his center of gravity, staggering in his steps, but the stability of his upper body was still not completely destroyed, which gave him space to pass.
Saw it!
Cam saw the figure of his wide receiver Brandon LeFell. In the swirling chaos, he had no time to distinguish the specific position and matchup. He could only see LeFell. Er appeared in his field of vision without obstruction, which at least meant that there was no defensive player in front of LeFel.
So Cam raised his right arm.
At this moment, Aldon's feet had landed on the ground again. His hands hugged Cam tightly, and he exerted force again, pulling Cam up in a tug-of-war manner, trying to He threw Cam directly over his shoulder in an upside-down manner. Although Cam's weight advantage prevented Aldon's intention from being carried out perfectly, Aldon's strength still broke Cam's center of gravity.
Cam's whole body was flipped up, and he could only use the power of his right forearm to throw the football in the direction of LeFel as hard as a whip.
The direction is correct; the angle is correct; but the strength is incorrect. The arc of the entire pass was too short, a full three yards or more.
…
Justin Smith got entangled with the offensive line players. The offensive line pushed all the defensive players to one side like pushing open a city gate. Justin immediately smelled the danger - because the other side is a multi-line offense. On the strong side, he simply threw away his opponent.
It took a lot of effort, but Justin managed to get rid of it. He immediately took two steps back, looking for a place in the short passing area that he needed to fill.
At this moment, Justin saw the passing arc of the football. He had no time to judge and measure. He stood on tiptoes and changed his steps laterally. He watched the football pass his position, and he twisted forcefully. He lifted his body, dropped his center of gravity along the flight direction of the football, and then grabbed the football with both hands on the falling curve of the football!
He caught it!
But his center of gravity staggered two steps immediately, but Justin gritted his teeth, took two hard steps forward, controlled his center of gravity, then hugged the football and headed to the left He quickly sprinted past the side neutral area.
A bunch of offensive linemen rushed over, but a bunch of defensive linemen blocked them.
Justin won a small space to advance. He put all his attention on his legs and kicked off the ground! Kick the ground! Kick the ground again! Then he dodged, jumped over a flying figure next to him, and jumped into the end zone lightly.
The interception was returned for a touchdown!
