It only took less than four seconds to go from a nine-yard situation in second gear to a nine-yard situation in third gear.
Lu Ke raised his left hand to massage the muscles of his right arm, and at the same time twisted his right arm to move the joints and muscles, hoping to relieve the tightness.
In the attack just now, Lu Ke used a screen short pass tactic to find Ankuang Boldin, but the opponent's cornerback Patrick Peterson used an early move to block Boldin's catch. position, which also forces Lu Ke's passing line to make more subtle adjustments.
Unfortunately, the tightness of the arm muscles at the moment of release still affected the feel. The speed and strength of the entire shuttle ball were not stable enough. Boldin had already grasped the rugby with both hands, but was unable to control it. The rugby just came out. His palm landed, causing the pass to be incomplete.
Bystanders may think that Boldin missed the opportunity to catch the ball because of his poor hands; but Lu Ke knew that there was still a problem with his control, which affected Boldin's judgment. The misalignment between lightning and flint caused this The pass was incomplete, and then they were stuck on third down.
Nine yards on third gear, how should we attack?
The Arizona Cardinals defensive team changed again. Except for one safety guard standing guard in the backfield, all other players entered the five-yard space of Chuhehanjie, layer by layer, and the players on the front line of the offensive team were staggered. The ground is entangled, but the overall position has changed——
Three defensive forwards and three linebackers, a total of six players gathered at both ends of the offensive front, creating a "five VS six" frontline confrontation pattern; the other linebackers, two cornerbacks and A safety is spread out and matched up with the offensive team's four receivers.
The tactics of such a defensive formation look very complex but are also very simple: six players rush the ball, four players defend, and one player is responsible for guarding the backcourt. A simple summary is: the pass rush tactic uses six frontline players to create a numerical advantage in the matchup, put pressure on the quarterback as much as possible, and destroy the quarterback's passing opportunities in the third gear of long yards. , further compressing the attacking space.
But is it really that simple?
At least one thing can be seen about the success of the Arizona Cardinals defensive team: their changes force Lu Ke to continue to think. Every offensive and defensive situation must be calculated more and more sophisticated and complex, which means It means that they did put enough pressure on Lu Ke at the tactical level.
Lu Ke had already laid out Hubble's tactics, but he stood in the pocket and thought about it carefully, and still modified some of the tactics. With his shout, the receiving players on both sides moved their positions slightly apart, trying their best to Stay away from the five-yard area of the offensive line and spread the offensive line, which also spreads the positions of all four defenders guarding the receiver.
In this way, the dense crowd concentrated within the five-yard area of the central zone by the opponent's defensive team will be dispersed, and the changes in defensive tactics will be reduced.
"attack!"
Then, Lu Ke announced the kickoff, and at a glance you could see the entire Arizona Cardinals defensive team repeating their old tricks——
Only four defensive players stepped forward to rush the pass. The two linebackers who were originally standing at the front stepped back at the same time and returned to passing defense in the short passing area; plus the four receiving players The four defensive players also stepped back together, prepared in advance to block the mid-pass area, each aimed at their opponent, and laid out the entire passing defense front.
Another suspicion formation!
Use a weird formation to disrupt the quarterback's defensive reading, but all defensive focus still falls on passing. It can be said that they are afraid of Lu Ke's passing ability, and must ensure that Lu Ke's basic passing line is cut off; It can also be said to bully the San Francisco 49ers' relatively weak ground attack, which seems to be provoking: If you dare to choose to run the ball, then we will let you run. The short passing area can always complete the tackle in advance and advance the ground. strangle to death.
As the top defensive team in the league in ground defense, the Arizona Cardinals do have such confidence.
Even the moment his hands touched the ball, Lu Ke had already seen through the Arizona Cardinals' defensive tactics, but he had nothing to say——
Because Hubble really lacked the confidence to attack on the ground, and faced the severe situation of nine yards on third gear at this time, he finally chose the passing attack. This was a common offensive tactical choice, but it was also an attack that was seen through by the opponent in advance. Tactical choice, so what else can Lu Ke do now?
Holding the ball in both hands, Lu Ke quickly stepped back to separate himself from the two forwards. The best option at this time was to quickly break the situation - since the cornerback and safety guard were both taking steps back. Pass defense, if Lu Ke can find the passing target in the short passing area, he will be able to win space to advance. The chance of success in the third-speed nine-yard conversion is still very high.
But...there's no passing target!
With his eyes sweeping across the field, Lu Ke failed to find a suitable passing target. The running route of the receiving player and the early positioning of the defensive player failed to create more favorable matchups. He only captured a few relatively favorable runs. Following the trend, there was no hesitation or hesitation in the flash of lightning. Lu Ke moved his steps.
Lu Ke took the initiative to move quickly and laterally to his right side, leaving the range of pocket protection - four defensive frontline players were entangled with five offensive linemen. This allowed the San Francisco 49ers' pocket to still have a slight upper hand and did not immediately Being broken through gave Lu Ke time to move.
Sideways step!
As Lu Ke moved his steps, his eyes quickly scanned the running matchup on the right wing:
Marcus jumped out of the slot, dodged the Shura field where the forwards were confronting each other, and then entered the short passing area. He sprinted forward slightly, and then pulled and sprinted horizontally towards his left side. It caught the attention of two back-footed linebackers and was immediately targeted.
The linebackers, cornerbacks, and safeties are all defending the pass area. They have retreated to ten yards away, constantly moving left and right to adjust their focus. No matter which direction Lu Ke passes the ball, they can be the first to pass the ball. Time steps forward to complete the defense. They only need to knock down the receiving player within the nine-yard space to complete the third level of defense. Now they are the one taking the initiative and do not need to act rashly.
Now, Marcus jumped out, and only one linebacker followed him. All the other second-line defensive players stayed in the mid-pass area and adjusted their focus; then, Lu Ke had already left the pocket protection range and appeared. In the left-wing space of the Arizona Cardinals, the defensive players still dare not lose their position easily——
Lu Ke is fully capable of delivering the football to any position across the field from this side. If they lose their center of gravity now, it will become a loophole. This lesson has appeared countless times in past games.
The fear of Lu Ke's passing ability and the advantage of third-gear long-yardage defense allowed the Arizona Cardinals defensive team to maintain a stable posture. Only the left wing showed violent movements: because Lu Ke was raising his arm towards the left wing. Part made a passing gesture.
The left wing of the Arizona Cardinals is also the right wing of the San Francisco 49ers. The presence of Logan Newman and Ted Ginn gives this side countless possibilities.
After the kickoff, Logan and Gene both rushed forward in a straight line. After rushing five yards, they made a cross-position run. Then Gene on the inside came to the outside and began to rush towards the sideline area. Sprinting into the deep area, his speed exploded instantly; while Logan on the outside got rid of Peterson's defender and came to the inside, and then continued to change his running center of gravity.
As the defensive team expected, the entire running route is still moving towards the mid-pass and even long-pass areas.
Patrick Peterson has his eyes fixed on Logan. Ever since he experienced last year's "Cardinals tragedy", the cornerback who was born in the same draft as Lu Ke has been looking forward to the day when he can wash away his shame. The same thing will never be allowed to happen a second time at the University of Phoenix Stadium!
Because of the cross-positioning of Logan and Gene, Peterson and Gene collided head-on, which caused Logan to get rid of Peterson's close guard; but Peterson still did not give up, and he completed the sudden turn and stop in time. He adjusted his focus and left Gene behind - there was a safety guard behind him who would be responsible for defending Gene. His target was Logan, and then he rushed towards Logan again.
Rush. Emergency stop. sharp turn.
Logan's footsteps are very flexible, and his body's center of gravity is constantly changing, taking advantage of the offense to the extreme. This makes Peterson, who lost the opportunity, very embarrassed.
But Peterson was fixated on Logan, without any relaxation at all. He followed Logan step by step, and also made sudden rushes, sudden stops, and sudden turns. It was obvious that the entire center of gravity of his body had been lost. However, with a burst of energy, he was not completely thrown away by Logan. What's more, Logan continued to advance towards the mid-pass area seven or eight yards away, which further confirmed the defensive team's prediction. And speculation, Peterson is even more unwilling to lose his position.
In the blink of an eye, Logan used three consecutive changes of direction to win himself some space to receive the ball. It was only a narrow space of about one to two yards, but for the passing connection partner of Lu Ke and Logan, it was It's enough.
Peterson quickly caught it with his peripheral vision, and then saw Lu Ke raising his hand to pass the ball. He was not nervous, but became more focused because he knew that Logan needed to stop when he caught the ball. This fleeting time is his opportunity to complete the defense.
Kick the ground! Kick the ground! Kick the ground!
Peterson tensed his muscles to the extreme and sprinted towards Logan with all his strength. Then he saw that Logan really made a sudden stop and turned around to get ready to catch the ball. All of Peterson's cells began to shout:
Got you!
