Through the peripheral vision, Crabtree realized that he was in a desperate situation, so he was not greedy and all his goals were to complete the ball.
Concentrate on controlling the center of gravity of the body, use his hands and chest to form a small net bag, aim at the direction of the football, and successfully complete the ball; then he can feel three forces swarming towards him from different directions, Crabtree Warning himself not to be greedy, he shifted his lower body's center of gravity, dodged all the defensive players' tackles, and fell to the thirty-five yard line in the opponent's half.
After standing up again, Crabtree had no time to celebrate, because the San Francisco 49ers no longer had a timeout, his catch just landed on the field, and now the game time is still flowing, forty-five seconds... forty seconds ...It was passing by relentlessly, and they had to speed up.
Sure enough, Crabtree immediately saw Lu Ke rushing up with his arms waving, loudly directing the offensive team to complete the formation. The entire offensive rhythm was completely improved, regardless of the formation of the opposing defensive team. Focusing on themselves also forces the defensive team players to make immediate judgments and complete the formation immediately. Even if the defensive formation is not modified, the defensive team must complete the defensive matchup according to the offensive team's position. Lu Ke's fast pace makes the defensive team scrambling. Get up, but they did not dare to relax at all, because Lu Ke would never let go of any opportunity.
"attack!"
Lu Ke immediately announced the kickoff. He hoped to further reduce the defensive team's prediction space and launch an attack before the defensive formation was completely established. Then the Arizona Cardinals used four people to rush the pass and tear the pocket again, even more He was so fierce that he almost caught Lu Ke, who had no time to retreat, and almost led to a sack. However, Lu Ke got rid of the sack crisis at the critical moment, turned around and ran out of the pocket again.
"Wait. Wait! This offense is invalid, this is a foul! God!"
"Before the offensive formation was completely settled, Lu Ke announced the kick-off. There is no doubt that this was a foul."
"It can be seen that Lu Ke tried to increase the offensive rhythm, but the noise of the University of Phoenix stadium caused communication problems between him and his teammates. Anquan Boldin's position was obviously wrong, which also forced Logan - Newman had to remind him aloud and then convey Lu Ke's tactics. When Lu Ke kicked off, neither Newman nor Boldin could line up. This was an uncontested foul and all subsequent offenses would not count."
"This is the second illegal position change by the San Francisco 49ers in this game. From the side, you can see the intensity of this game. At the same time, you can also see the performance of the offensive team led by Lu Ke at critical moments. There is still a gap compared to last season. The absence of Ted Ginn and Vernon Davis has a very obvious impact; Logan Newman and Michael Crabtree are not in the best condition either. Putting Lu Ke into trouble."
"Don't forget, Lu Ke himself is also suffering from injuries."
"Now it depends on this offense. The success or failure of the defending champion throughout the season depends on this offense."
The judgment and analysis in the studio were correct: a yellow flag foul, a five-yard penalty, and the game time would not be set back.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke realized that he had acted too hastily: he announced the kickoff without noticing the movements of Logan and Boldin. This was actually a flaw in the quarterback's observation before the kickoff, although it was not 100% his fault. responsibility, but he must also frankly admit that he made a mistake.
In fact, even if there was no foul, Lu Ke's passing connection was not successful.
After escaping the sack crisis, Lu Ke tried to find a passing target, but it was extremely difficult against the tight defense of the Arizona Cardinals. In the end, the passing target was locked on Logan, because Logan and Crabtree formed a In a two-on-three confrontation, a space can be torn apart from each other, and a glimmer of hope may be found.
Logan did make contact with the football, but was unable to complete football control and the catch was broken, sadly ending with an incomplete pass.
Therefore, fouling is not actually the most serious problem. Anyway, they are already standing on the edge of a cliff with no retreat; the worst part now is that the game time will not be set back, and Lu Ke will face the first-grade fifteen-yard situation, and there are only twelve seconds left in the game.
Time time time, there is no time!
There was no time to immerse himself in self-blame. Lu Ke clenched his fists heavily, beat his thigh, and returned his attention to the game. He quickly arranged tactics calmly and calmly, and automatically took advantage of the dead ball. After receiving the 40-second countdown time, communicate with your teammates and then line up again.
"attack!"
Just as Lu Ke announced the kickoff, the referee blew the whistle and interrupted the game. It was not a yellow flag foul, but the Arizona Cardinals asked for another timeout.
The defensive team needs time to breathe and adjust, and it is meaningless to leave different timeouts at this time. Arians simply used the timeout to slow down the pace of the game, which is beneficial to the Arizona Cardinals. , perhaps, this is their best chance to defeat the San Francisco 49ers again in two seasons - don't forget, in the 2011 season, the Arizona Cardinals were the first team in the division to defeat the San Francisco 49ers.
Meanwhile, the University of Phoenix stadium was buzzing again.
All the fans collectively sang Queen's classic song "We-Will-Rock-You" loudly. For the first time in the whole game, it was not a curse, but an encouragement. All the fans became one. The claps and stomps echoed mightily inside the stadium, completely uniting the home fans and bursting out with unimaginable power. They still had the last twelve seconds before returning to the playoffs for the first time in four years.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The thunderous sound stirred up layers of sound waves, and even the surface of his skin seemed to start to get hot, but Lu Ke was not affected at all.
Quickly discuss tactics, quickly return to the court, quickly convey tactics, quickly complete the formation, and quickly announce the kick-off.
The greater the crisis, the more nervous Lu Ke became. He still kept his emotions in a calm and focused state. All his attention was devoted to the game, but then something unexpected happened. The Arizona Cardinals defense desperately adopted a six-man pass rush tactic!
The Arizona Cardinals defensive team, which was particularly bold and strong in the first quarter of this game, suddenly changed again after being silent for most of the game. The strong and domineering full pressure was torn apart unreasonably. With the offensive line's pocket protection, at least three defensive players successfully broke free and outflanked Lu Ke from different directions. The scene was bloody for a time.
Lu Ke kept using retreat steps to escape, and was forced to escape from the 40 yards from the opponent's half to the 40 yards from his own half, but he still could not escape the double-teaming of three players——
In the final analysis, Lu Ke is not a running back or a wide receiver after all. Even though his pace in the pocket has been transformed, he is still not good enough to get rid of the attack of three defensive players. In the end, in order to avoid being sacked, Lu Ke could only pass the football to the sideline in the direction of the players at the critical moment.
As a result, the first gear fifteen yards became the second gear fifteen yards, and there were only the last five seconds left in the game.
Just as Lu Ke was about to kick off, the Arizona Cardinals used their last timeout, and then the game process started again.
In fact, the Arizona Cardinals are making a desperate move. They use timeouts to complete their defensive arrangements - just like this, unexpectedly breaking the balance, not only successfully consumed the game time, but also pushed the San Francisco 49ers back from the cliff step by step, firmly Take the initiative to win in your hands.
After returning to the court, the Arizona Cardinals defense changed their positioning formation again, but the San Francisco 49ers offense still maintained a multi-line offensive formation. The changes and changes on both sides seemed to have switched positions. Now it is Lu Ke. is becoming increasingly conservative.
What exactly does this mean?
During the defensive reading, Lu Ke discovered that the Arizona Cardinals defensive team was constantly demonstrating. The four linebackers took turns to move forward, raising the pressure on the entire defensive front to the extreme. Under the turbulent situation, they seemed to be threatening. Based on Lu Ke's judgment and choice, the four players on the defensive front already stood within three yards of the offensive line.
what to do?
If the Arizona Cardinals defensive team really takes advantage of their numbers and strength to press and attack with all their strength, and only five offensive linemen cannot intercept it, then what should they do?
Or is this another smoke bomb?
Lu Ke stood up straight and quickly completed the subtle adjustments to his tactics. Marcus, who was originally standing on the left side, moved to the right side. He was still in the pistol formation, but the center of gravity of the entire formation had changed - because the right side There were three receivers standing, now four, and only one receiver on the left side.
Smoke bombs against smoke bombs.
Lu Ke also put up an obviously abnormal offensive formation. Then he ignored the changes in the defensive team and immediately announced the kick-off.
"attack!"
The moment his hands touched the football, Lu Ke knew something was wrong: a ferocious dark red wave hit him head-on unreasonably.
Seven pass rushers!
The Arizona Cardinals really abandoned all reason and sent out all three defensive frontmen and four linebackers. They formed a strong pass rush and pressure like a stormy sea. Almost at the moment of contact, they attacked with an absolute numerical advantage. The front line was torn to pieces, and then Lu Ke was exposed in front of them.
Strong! tough! Strong!
Three people broke through the defense again. During Lu Ke's quick retreat, he could see that his blind side, right side and front were all lost.
