"God, God, God, is there anything more exciting? Lu Ke once again completed a Hail Mary. Just when everyone thought that miracles could not be created, Lu Ke stepped forward again and told every doubter : Miracles are never impossible to create!"
"As long as Lu Ke stands on this court, the San Francisco 49ers will be the God of War who will never give up! Yes, the audience is now witnessing the rise of a God of War, from the undefeated aura of last season to this season. The season's desperate reversal, even in the face of severe injuries and severe challenges, Lu Ke was still able to lead the team to cheer up again, and they once again confirmed the majesty of the defending champions - they will never give up!"
Selleck felt that the whole world in front of him was shaking violently. All the red mixed with white and green were rushing towards his sight. The fragmented colors made the field of vision reflect strange images like a broken mirror. His head only felt He felt dizzy for a while, and everything began to shake violently. In the end, he had no choice but to simply close his eyes, escape into the darkness, and look for peace again.
Immediately afterwards, countless noises began to approach quickly from far to near, exploding above the eardrums, and vaguely captured the cheering and roaring voices of Logan and Crabtree. Only then did Selleck regain his voice. Opening his eyes, the focus and focus were refocused. Before his vision was completely clear, he couldn't help but emphasize repeatedly, "I caught it! I caught it! I really caught it!"
The anxious and sincere voice was emphasizing one after another: He successfully completed the ball, but he didn't know whether to appeal to the referee or to redress his grievances to his teammates. He just kept repeating it over and over again, with a hint of crying in his slightly trembling voice. , lest I mess up this catch.
After all, he was just an undrafted player, a bench player.
Then Selleck saw Logan's face full of ecstasy zooming towards him, grabbed his helmet, and roared in a nearly roaring manner, "Touchdown! We've scored a touchdown! You're done." Touchdown! It's a touchdown! Touchdown! You just had a Hail Mary!"
Selleck's head couldn't react: Him? Hail Mary? Did he make a Hail Mary catch?
Marcus rushed over; Boldin also rushed over; one after another, you can also see other offensive teammates all rushing over crazily.
Hail Mary. touchdown. This idea gradually became clear in my mind.
In one fell swoop, Selleck stood up directly, pushed away his teammates who came to celebrate, and rushed forward without thinking, sprinting towards Lu Ke in ecstasy, but when he was about to reach Lu Ke, But he braked suddenly and stopped, looking at Lu Ke with wide eyes, "Bambi, I caught it!"
The eyes that are eager to receive praise are like a child, looking up to his hero, following the footsteps of his idol, finally achieving a small success, and then anxiously waiting for the praise from the role model, even if it is a "Well done" "Good" can make him fly.
At this time, Lu Ke had just shaken off Dan Williams' tackle, stood up again, and then witnessed the referee's raised touchdown gesture, confirming the completion of the Hail Mary, and joy and happiness overflowed in his chest. but he was no longer a rookie now, and he quickly calmed down because he knew that the game was not over yet, not to mention that there were extra points that had not been kicked, even if the extra points hit, they would only tie the score. , still not a victory.
The process of the 2011 National League Finals falling from heaven to hell is still vivid in my mind. In a competitive sports showdown, you will never know the outcome until the last moment. This is true for the Arizona Cardinals and the same is true for the San Francisco 49ers. Now both sides Just returning to the same starting line and entering overtime is a brand new game. Lu Ke refuses to take it lightly, and refuses to be complacent and proud. It is not the time to celebrate yet.
Then, Lu Ke saw Selleck.
Watching Selleck's vitality is like watching himself in the 2011 season. Lu Ke knows better than anyone how much effort it takes for undrafted players to stand on such a stage.
"Well done!" Lu Ke took the initiative to step forward and gave Selleck a big hug.
No need for too many words, a hug is the best reward. Then, Lu Ke approached Selleck's ear again, raised his voice and said, "Come on! We still have an overtime to complete! Just let How about we fight to the end and see what happens? Are you ready?"
The seemingly calm and simple words revealed strong confidence and determination, which once again ignited Selleck's fighting spirit. He was full of passion but didn't know how to express it. In the end, he just nodded hard and shouted to Lu Ke, "The battle never stops. !" Then he turned to face the other teammates, held up the football in his hand, and shouted selflessly, "The fight never stops!"
One sound, another sound.
Gradually, the San Francisco 49ers' strong fighting spirit spread from the field to the sidelines, giving the Arizona Cardinals a head-on blow!
They have almost touched the edge of victory, and they can even feel the hot temperature of victory on their fingertips. Five seconds is just five seconds away from victory; half a yard, only half a yard is needed to sack Dan Williams in advance. Lu Ke and Peterson were able to destroy the pass in advance, but the half yard just slipped through the fingertips. Before they had time to react, the victory balance returned to a balanced state again.
The Arizona Cardinals were really confused, and they didn't even know how it happened.
There were loud boos at the University of Phoenix Stadium, putting overwhelming pressure on the away team; but at this time, they had an illusion: they couldn't tell whether the boos were for the away team or the home team. The Cardinals players were so dazed that they didn't know how to react. They all stood there like zombies.
Because it was a touchdown after the official timeout, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, the referees needed to conduct an official review, which gave both teams a short respite.
Lu Ke led the offensive team back to the sidelines, and at a glance he could see Akins who was practicing playing football.
According to the rules of the game, although the last pass of the San Francisco 49ers has consumed all game time and the game time has now been cleared; but because the offensive team completed the touchdown, they will still get the opportunity to kick the extra point. If they wish, They can even challenge for a two-point extra-point opportunity, and it doesn't matter if the game time reaches zero.
At this time, the score on the field is "23:22", and the home team is in front.
The San Francisco 49ers, who had just completed a touchdown, closed the score to one point. All eyes fell on the special teams of both teams who were about to complete the extra point kick.
The Arizona Cardinals still had a chance to end the game, while the San Francisco 49ers had to score an extra point to send the score into overtime.
Two free kicks were missed in this game. Obviously, David Akans' condition is far from being adjusted to the best, continuing the trend of overall decline this season. However, at this time, all the important tasks once again fell on Akans. On Si's shoulders, this legendary veteran who is about to turn 40 years old, who will officially retire after the end of this season, is now at a crossroads that determines his destiny——
Can he earn another shot at the San Francisco 49ers' playoff run? Or will he complete the last kick of his career and end in failure?
There was no shouting or support, Akens just concentrated on completing the kicking practice.
nervous? Of course he is nervous; but in his career, he has experienced too many similar scenes, and he knows that he cannot think randomly, otherwise he will fall into chaotic thoughts and be unable to extricate himself. He must focus all his attention on playing football. In terms of technical movements on the ball, he is just like Lu Ke. Of course, it's not easy, but Akens believes he can do it!
Akins will never forget Lu Ke's sunny smile that bloomed wantonly after the Super Bowl last season, "David, I think you may have to stick with it for another season."
Persistence is for Lu Ke and for himself, for victory and for glory. Akens knows that his career is perfect. He does not need to prove himself anymore, but truly fights for himself and the team. Now, The team needs him to step forward, then he will complete his task!
Even the kicker is an integral part of the entire team.
The referees finally finished the review and once again confirmed the correctness of the penalty on the field: touchdown! This is an uncontested touchdown! Now it's the turn of the special teams from both sides to appear.
Akens turned to look at Lu Ke, only to find that Lu Ke was not too nervous at all, but was discussing tactics with Kip, Greg and others, and seemed to be ready for overtime. This made Akens relaxed a little, looked back, and followed his special team teammates on the stage.
Line up, place the ball, position.
All the actions were familiar, and Akans completed his preparations meticulously - the Arizona Cardinals had no timeouts at this time, and his kicking action would not be interfered with in any way, but Akans still maintained There was a lot of concentration, all eyes were on the football and the goal.
kick off.
approach.
Kick off.
kick the ball.
The whole process was smooth and seamless. Akens' right foot firmly hit the side of the football, and then the football drew a small arc, swaying slightly, and there was a hint of uneasiness, as if The stick flew towards the left side of the goal.
But just when everyone thought the rugby ball had veered off the track, it quickly passed by the inside of the left stick. Everything was fast-forwarded ten times faster, and then the rugby landed on the net. .
The goal referee raised his hands in the air and made a gesture to indicate that a goal was scored.
"23:23", overtime came.
