From the 2011 season to the 2012 season, Lu Ke turned out to be a powerful long passer. The first pass in the first game of his career was a direct touchdown with a super long pass, which shocked everyone with his skills; he achieved "Hail Mary" many times. The feat has also become the deepest impression on countless neutral fans.
Watching Lu Ke's games, they are often full of ups and downs, high-flying and high-flying, and every attack is gorgeous and risky, which makes neutral fans say it is very enjoyable. Even last season, after Lu Ke's playing style gradually matured, he did not reduce his attempts to make long passes. Once the opportunity appeared, he still showed no mercy.
But this season, Lu Ke has gradually grown into a game controller. The long pass is still the strongest weapon, but now he no longer frequently challenges long passes in pursuit of quick victory, but rather relies on a tactical game of balanced passing and running. Victory, and the playing style begins to become more grounded and practical—or, in other words, more boring.
But for true insiders, they understand that Lu Ke's game art is like the game of Go, elegant and wise, profound and complex, showing a higher level of rugby charm.
Compared with last week's game against the Washington Redskins, the San Francisco 49ers have once again returned to their familiar routine, and the proportion of passing offense has regained the upper hand. However, Lu Ke is still not the brightest one in the offensive group, the receiving team is. . Through the exploration in the first quarter and the surprise attack in the second quarter, Lu Ke's short passes began to open up the situation, and his power burst out through the receiving players.
Crabtree completed four consecutive catches of passes from behind, one of which was a 22-yard long pass. He showed good competitive condition in his first game back after six months.
After Logan caught an eight-yard short pass, he relied on his own ability to dodge two tackles and a defense. He drove straight into the end zone and completed an 82-yard run. of touchdowns.
Boldin used nine catches to complete 98 yards, and the average yards reached an astonishing 10.89 yards. This was created under Lu Ke's short-passing tactics, which completely made the opponent's defense second-line. No idea.
Selleck also successfully completed three catches for 20 yards, which was not eye-catching, but he gradually found a sense of presence on the court.
Lu Ke is responsible for passing the ball, and the receiving players are responsible for the dirty work. The short-pass-based passing offense is still very powerful. Relying on the outstanding performance of the receiving team, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team advanced 275 by relying on passing. In addition, the performance of the running back group in terms of ground advancement dropped slightly. They encountered a strong sniper attack from the opponent's ground defense, but they still gained 119 yards.
It can be felt that the San Francisco 49ers offense, which is adjusting its playing style and tactical layout, is still not at its best, but it still shows a steadily rising development curve. It is low-key and down-to-earth in finding its most comfortable way of playing. Both games are gradually picking up.
In the end, the San Francisco 49ers offense scored a total of five touchdowns!
Among them, three came from running backs, one each from Frank Gall, Marcus Lynch, and Kendall Hunter; two came from the pass, one each from Logan Newman and Anquan Boldin.
It can be clearly noticed that the running back and receiving team are the biggest contributors to the game. However, Lu Ke, whose quarterback rating has returned to his normal level, is extremely low-key. Even with a pass success rate of 72%, there is no To be able to become the most shining player in the offensive team just like in the past two seasons.
The reason is very simple. Lu Ke mainly used short passes throughout the game, assisted by sudden mid-passes and long passes. Without the thrilling moment of the 70-yard super long pass, Lu Ke mostly relied on the wide receivers and tight ends to complete the ball. The subsequent continuous advancement to open up the situation also gave the audience an illusion:
The receiving players were running all over the court, trying their best, relying on their own breakthroughs to lead the team to continue to advance; while Lu Ke stood firmly in the pocket and his presence was too weak.
The visual impact is not enough.
This also caused the focus and hot spots to be concentrated on the receiving team, especially Crabtree, who had just returned from this game. However, Lu Ke, who was always shrouded in the spotlight, quietly hid his whereabouts and did not attract too much attention. Pay more attention and continue to find your offensive touch in a low-key manner.
Now the San Francisco 49ers have finally matured.
While the defensive team was faced with mistakes and ups and downs in form, the offensive team steadily established a lead for the team. They began to put pressure on their opponents from the first quarter of the game and took the lead in gaining a score advantage. Faced with an anxious and entangled situation, The offensive team is always able to stabilize the situation in time with better performance.
In the first quarter, a touchdown.
Two touchdowns in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, a touchdown.
A touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The San Francisco 49ers offense maintained a relatively stable and balanced overall state. Although the scene seemed chaotic for a time and the situation was far tighter than the score seemed, it never completely lost its advantage and finally won the victory steadily. , leaving no chance for the rivals in the same district, defending the home glory and successfully defeating the opponents.
"35:16".
This was the final score. The St. Louis Rams worked very hard and fought very hard. They tried their best to realize their long-cherished wish of "double-killing their rivals in the same district in the season", but in the end they still failed to realize it, and they regrettably failed. To make matters worse, they have lost their advantage in the playoff race and are the first to fall behind.
Such is the value of a divisional civil war.
For the San Francisco 49ers, after losing to the New Orleans Saints, they successfully won two consecutive games, bringing the team's season record to eight wins and four losses. The record has surpassed the rival Arizona Cardinals in the same division and entered the division. Second, they still have an advantage in the playoff race.
But more importantly, the team's status is steadily improving, moving towards the next game in a low-key and calm manner.
After entering the second half of the season, outstanding teams such as the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Seattle Seahawks gradually stood out. These teams attracted most of the attention in the league. Last week's Sunday night also witnessed the focus of the battle between the old rivals Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, which can be said to be a constant hot topic of discussion.
The defending champion San Francisco 49ers have gradually become more low-key, especially in the past two weeks. Their opponents have lacked enough topics to talk about. Even the gimmick of the divisional civil war failed to create more waves, which also allowed the team to briefly withdraw from the media. They broke away from the focus, quietly made a fortune, quietly won two consecutive victories, and always maintained their competitiveness for a playoff spot.
Then, on the fourteenth day of the regular season, the highlight matchup finally arrived: San Francisco 49ers VS Seattle Seahawks!
At this time, attention focused on the San Francisco 49ers again. People suddenly discovered that the defending champion, who had won two consecutive victories in a low-key manner, had quietly improved his record to eight wins and four losses, and Lu Ke was also steadily improving. Regained his form and continued the team's steady upward momentum.
This also made the next division civil war suddenly much more interesting.
There is no need to go into details about the history of these rivals in the same district. They are undoubtedly the most topical and impactful pair of rivals in the league in the past two seasons. Just use the meaningful keyword "minimum consumption" , can easily summarize all their conflicts. "Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other" is used to describe them.
What's even more exciting is that in the past two seasons, the upward curves of the two teams' status have just collided head-on, which has also created a real strong confrontation and peak showdown. The three matchups in the regular season and playoffs of the 2012 season are still talked about by countless neutral fans.
The duel "Lu Ke VS Wilson" has become the representative of the new generation's duel.
After entering the 2013 season, the situation of the two teams has changed slightly, and the development trajectories are slightly different. The San Francisco 49ers are facing a period of turmoil and ups and downs, and the symptoms after winning the Super Bowl have fully broken out; while the Seattle Seahawks Then ushered in a full-scale breakout season-every aspect is reminiscent of the San Francisco 49ers last season.
The "Legion of Boom" that became the center of hot topics in the league last year has been upgraded again this year. After completing the reinforcement work through a series of offseason drafts and transfers, Pete Carroll finally built the defense he dreamed of. The lineup, from personal abilities to teamwork to competition intensity, etc., all reached a perfect fit from all angles, and finally burst out with unimaginable huge energy.
So far, the Seattle Seahawks defense ranks first in the league, sweeping the top in all statistics:
Ground defense, pass defense, yards allowed to opponents on the ground, yards passed to opponents allowed, number of first downs allowed to opponents, average number of points conceded per game, average number of ball possession transitions per game, etc.
The above-mentioned statistics comprehensively dominate the league, not only leading the league, but also showing the strength of the Chicago Bears, Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers at their peak. Some people even believe that this defensive team is super strong. Dominant enough to rank among the top three in history.
Such terrifying defensive dominance is enough to make every team's offensive team fearful!
In the game that just ended this week, the Seattle Seahawks faced the New Orleans Saints led by Drew Brees - the team that defeated the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago. As a result, the Seahawks defense was only Brees only allowed seven points to win. With a disparity of "34:7", he easily crushed his opponent and achieved a hearty victory.
Faced with the full-court coverage and pressure of the Legion of Detonation, Drew Brees was helpless. This can be seen from the side of the majesty of this defensive team!
