Damn it!
Lu Ke cursed secretly.
"Beep! Delay the game, offensive team, No. 14, lose five yards and re-play."
The referee blew his whistle to interrupt the game and announced a yellow flag penalty.
Lu Ke secretly grinded his teeth and vented his dissatisfaction with his carelessness——
It was already obvious at this time that he had just been completely led away by the changes in the Arizona Cardinals' defensive team. Those intricate ideas were exactly the effect the opponent hoped to achieve. In calculations and counter-calculations, they were used to confuse The ultimate goal of Lu Ke's judgment is to force Lu Ke to make mistakes in the tactical layout stage, or even to ignore one thing and the other.
Lu Ke committed a foul that delayed the game at a critical moment. This is the best proof of the success of the opponent's strategy.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Lu Ke calmed himself down, opened his eyes again, and his attention was already focused on the next wave of attacks.
Sure enough, the defensive team's formation position repeated its old trick, once again changing its position by moving half a step back and forth, trying to continue to confuse Lu Ke's judgment.
There is no doubt about the ability of Arizona Cardinals defensive coach Todd Bowles and the wisdom of head coach Bruce Arians, but this also exposed the home team's defensive holes.
Throughout the game, we can see that the Arizona Cardinals defensive team is always looking for changes, and the defensive focus has also undergone several changes and adjustments. There is no timidity or hesitation at the tactical game level, even in the face of Hubble and Lu Ke. With the combination, they can still seize some advantages, but if their changes are seen through by Lu Ke, the on-the-spot changes in permutations and combinations will appear to be stretched, and it will be easy for Lu Ke to seize the opportunity.
In fact, this is like a game of Go. The Arizona Cardinals can only calculate three possibilities, predict the changes in the next five moves, take the lead in launching changes in a short period of time, and achieve immediate results with a powerful impact; but However, Lu Ke could calculate ten possibilities and predict the changes in the next ten or even fifteen moves. With just a few opportunities, he could reverse the situation and regain the advantage.
Under such a situation, when the Arizona Cardinals needed to make changes and adjustments again, their reaction speed could not keep up.
It is conceivable that this is how the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Seattle Seahawks. The preparation workload of Bruce Arians and Todd Bowles must be very terrifying, catching Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll by surprise. , in fact, today they also killed Hubble and Lu Ke by surprise. The anxious state of the game was never able to widen the gap. This is the best proof.
But in comparison, Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson's tactical game ability is inferior, and they rely more on their absolute strength to play; while the combination of Hubble and Lu Ke shows their tactical confrontation ability. With a stronger posture, even if the team is plagued by injuries, it still continues the hope of the season until the last minute, which is a manifestation of wisdom.
This also means that the same method used by the Arizona Cardinals applies to the Seattle Seahawks, but the San Francisco 49ers may not be able to do so without restraint.
Back to the game.
The Arizona Cardinals defensive team is continuing to use formation changes to disrupt Lu Ke's judgment. So, how should Lu Ke's offensive tactical layout launch a counterattack?
Take advantage of the situation! Lure the enemy deeper!
Before the official kick-off, Lu Ke stood up straight again and raised his voice to modify the tactics——
It's still a two times two formation, it's still a pistol formation, the position of the entire offensive formation has not changed at all, and even the players have not moved their feet. So, what tactics did Lu Ke modify?
For the defensive team, this is undoubtedly the most troublesome part, because it is impossible to make any judgment with the naked eye, but Lu Ke solemnly modified the tactics. What does this mean? In fact, Lu Ke made changes to his running route and matchup functions, but there are no clues on the surface, so the defensive team naturally has no way to judge. This is also Lu Ke's most cunning trump card. No one can know how he defends. What information did you get from reading, and what changes did you make?
When it comes to pretense and tactical cover, the league now recognizes Peyton Manning and Lu Ke as two masters who go hand in hand.
"attack!"
Facing the first 15 yards, Lu Ke immediately announced the kick-off, and with the sound of Lu Ke announcing the kick-off, the four receiving players followed different running routes and dispersed:
Crabtree and Selleck on the left wing both rushed straight ahead, but their forward steps changed after rushing ten yards. Crabtree rushed back to the short pass with an emergency stop. area, running back using the most classic shadow passing route behind the shoulder; while Selleck adjusted his steps in the direction of the goal and continued to rush forward, rushing out twenty yards in the blink of an eye.
Logan and Boldin on the right wing also completed forward sprints along their own straight lines. Also after rushing forward for ten yards, the two completed a cross-position run. Logan on the inside came to the outside, along the sideline area. Continue to move forward; Boldin on the outside returned to the inside position, but showed a lateral pulling route, crossing the slot and rushing towards the central zone.
This is not the end.
Deliberately two beats slow, Marcus Lynch also rushed out.
Jonathan Goodwin and Mike Rupadi took the initiative and rushed out of a passage by pushing the door. Marcus then rushed out along the passage, but his steps were obviously controlled, and his speed did not completely increase. He quickly turned around and made a short pass to catch the ball.
Looking down from a high altitude at this time, you can find that the San Francisco 49ers' offensive formation is completely unpredictable——
Based on the kickoff line, within five yards, Marcus is standing in the center; in the area from five to ten yards, Crabtree is standing on the left edge; in the area from ten to fifteen yards, Boldin is crossing. Crossing the court and cutting into the central area; in the area of 15 to 20 yards, Selleck is moving in a straight line in the left slot and may break through the area 20 yards away at any time; in the area of 20 to 25 yards , Logan was speeding up, rushing straight along the right sideline area, but his pace seemed a bit unhurried.
Five players covered half the space of the court. From left to right, they were completely covered and scattered. They made full use of the length and width of the entire court and completely opened up the offensive formation. This also forced the Arizona Cardinals defensive team to have to Respond, and still adjust according to the offensive team's tactics-compared to zone defense, confrontation defense is a more sensible choice.
Among them, if you carefully look at the overall situation, you can find that the central area of the entire stadium and the area near the left side are relatively bloated, and the entire center of gravity is tilting towards this trend.
So, what game is Lu Ke playing?
If Arizona notices the relative bloat of its right area and shifts its defensive focus, then the balance of the defensive formation will be broken. There will inevitably be loopholes in the transition from area defense to counter defense, so no matter Lu Ke chooses the left side Or passing the ball to the right, he can find a one-on-one matchup.
If Arizona does not notice the overall change, there is no problem. Lu Ke can pass the ball directly to the left. Crabtree, Boldin, Selleck, Marcus, etc. are all passing points. Not only is there a gap for passing the ball, but you can also find teammates who can pick and cover and continue to move forward.
Is it just that?
If Arizona chooses to retreat and start a second-line defense, it will be Lu Ke's trap. The scattering of five players will minimize the advantage of the defensive team's large number and create more gaps for Lu Ke's passing - because of the front-line pass rush. The pressure will inevitably be relatively weak. Next, it depends on the route running ability of the five receiving players. They need to find gaps in the heavy defense.
If Arizona chooses to rush the pass in front of the conflict, then this is exactly the situation that Lu Ke hopes to happen - because it means that the second-line defense is relatively weak, and Lu Ke faces a strong pass rush, and he has already prepared it in advance. Prepare:
Retreat!
Retreat!
Retreat!
Not only Lu Ke, but the entire offensive line was actively retreating. Except for Jonathan Goodwin, who only completed the adjustment of the center of gravity in small steps, the other four offensive line players were all retreating collectively. The pockets shrank directly, and the shrinkage of the confrontation area allowed their power to be more concentrated, which bought Lu Ke valuable observation time and room for error.
really!
The Arizona Cardinals defensive team failed to recognize Lu Ke's tactical changes. The five defensive players stepped forward to rush the pass, but they did not expect that the first head-on collision failed. They failed to match the rhythm and instead lost the initiative. Forced to continue to step up completely to further pass rush duties.
However, due to the early preparation of the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line, the Arizona Cardinals' five-man attack failed to achieve the desired effect——
On the surface, it seems that the defensive team is forcing the offensive team to retreat, even huddled around the quarterback, and is in danger, and it seems that it may be broken at any time; in fact, the pocket protection is extremely solid, and it remains firm in the chaos. The ground stood firm.
First, Marcus bolted out. Taking advantage of the dislocation of the offensive line, he found a way out in the central part, and then immediately made preparations to respond. This also forced the Arizona Cardinals' inside linebacker Marcus Bernard to step up quickly and rush forward with all his strength, hoping to complete the tackle as soon as Marcus completed the ball and eliminate all follow-up attacks. Choke in the belly.
But what if Lu Ke had planned such a complicated chess game, just for a five-yard short pass? The price/performance ratio is really too low. Obviously, the Arizona Cardinals completely underestimated Lu Ke's ability and...ambition.
Does anyone still remember the rookie quarterback who repeatedly pushed the envelope during the 2011 season? The wild dance on the tightrope is simply a spectacle in the league.
Now, Bambi appears again!
Secondly, Lu Ke also ran out!
Wait, what?
After Marcus, Lu Ke also escaped from the pocket protection. What on earth is going on?
Even in the studio, there were exclamations, "Lu Ke! Lu Ke took the initiative to leave the pocket protection! Is Lu Ke planning to choose to run with the ball by himself again?"
