"Viewers, welcome back to 'Inside the League', I am Edward Bowen."
After the commercial break, the camera lens returned to the host again, and the connection was completed in just one sentence. He turned his head left and right to look at the ten analysts and commentators sitting around the round table on both sides, and continued.
"This week, the NFL playoffs are about to officially begin. In previous programs, we have discussed and analyzed three sets of matchups in the wild card round, and now the last set is left: the Green Bay Packers vs. the San Francisco 49ers. So, what do you think about this game?"
Edward got to the point of the topic simply and clearly, but the analysts and commentators in front of him exchanged glances with each other, and no one was willing to speak first. This made Edward laugh, "Ha, this is not the scene I expected. I thought , everyone will rush to express their opinions, and I still need to worry about the situation getting out of control. Liz, what do you think?"
The person named was Elizabeth-Nelson, a new analyst and commentator who joined the show this season. She is recognized as a supporter of Aaron Rodgers. Among the new generation of quarterbacks, Andrew Luck and Russell are considered Wilson's playing style has more development possibilities. In addition, she can't say she is a fan of Lu Ke, but she is quite positive.
"Wow, Edward, thank you for throwing the most difficult and toughest problem to me first." Elizabeth joked in an ironic way, which made other analysts and commentators present laugh, but Elizabeth also There was no stage fright, and he straightened his back, "This is the most watched and anticipated game in the first round of wild card games. I think everyone has no objection to this."
Everyone nodded in affirmation.
"Similarly, this should also be the closest game with the most unpredictable outcome." Elizabeth continued, "Both teams are now facing severe injuries, especially the two quarterbacks—— Rogers just returned from a shoulder injury. It can be seen from the game against Chicago that he is still far from his best passing state. It even makes people wonder whether Rogers forced himself to compete for a playoff position. The comeback also brings a lot of uncertainty to the prospects of the playoffs."
"Similarly, Lu Ke's arm and knee injuries also exist objectively -"
Before Elizabeth could finish her words, Edward interrupted her with curiosity, "Are you sure? Lu Ke is facing an injury problem?"
Immediately afterwards, several analysts and commentators nearby also expressed their agreement: "Lu Ke is in excellent condition" "Lu Ke defeated Arizona almost by himself" "Did you watch the live broadcast of the last game? "Are you sure you know which quarterback you are talking about? His quarterback rating in the last game was 130." "Are you sure you are right?"...
They express their views in such a questioning way.
Facing the collective attack, Elizabeth turned to look at Spencer Larson, "Hey, man, aren't you going to say something fair for Skywalker?"
Elizabeth just prefers Rogers and maintains a relatively objective attitude towards other quarterbacks; but Spencer has not concealed his preference for Lu Ke in the past two seasons, and even blindly trusts Lu Ke. Known as the most steadfast "Lu Kechui" "in the alliance".
Spencer chuckled, "You're coping well now, aren't you?" Then he saw Elizabeth roll her eyes. Spencer no longer remained silent and actively joined the conversation, "I know. "Liz" means "Liz" is the abbreviation of Elizabeth, which is what everyone on the show calls her.
"In the past few games, Lu Ke has given extremely wonderful performances, and the quarterback rating also proves this, which makes people ignore his injuries." Spencer deserves to be the commentator who knows Lu Ke best. First, the whole idea is very clear.
"In fact, the difference can be seen from the game data, the ratio of short passes to long passes, the time to read the defense, the number of runs with the ball, the rotation of two running backs... and so on, the whole The tactical layout has changed compared to last season.”
"It can be clearly felt that the impact of the arm injury is more serious than we imagined, which also forced Lu Ke to change his game tactics. This is the Lu Ke we are familiar with, but it is not a familiar game method. Many people believe that Lu Ke's playing style is gradually maturing, but the real reason is the forced change caused by injuries."
"But the most admirable thing about Lu Ke is this: game intelligence! And adaptability on the spot! He is always able to adjust tactics according to his own situation and the team's status, minimizing the impact of injuries to the greatest extent. Negative impact, and then complete the game, and even win." Spencer's words made everyone at the scene think deeply.
Elizabeth nodded her head in affirmation and took the initiative to take over the conversation, "In the past two seasons, we have all clearly seen what kind of energy Lu Ke can burst out as a quarterback who plays with his mind; and this season, Faced with serious injuries, Lu Ke once again showed his wisdom, which is the most admirable thing about him. In this aspect alone, I think Lu Ke has now reached the top of the league."
Edward made a sound of admiration. This is precisely the charm of "within the alliance". Ten different views collided in the same space. "Why, no one is ready to refute? I know, Lu Ke's playing style Not everyone likes it.”
Elizabeth cut off Edward's words again, "The focus now is not 'whether we like Lu Ke'. I just objectively stated a fact. If you want to refute it, you can continue later, but can we focus on the key points first?" ?”
Edward raised his hands in surrender.
Elizabeth then continued, "Back in this wild card game, both quarterbacks are facing injuries to varying degrees. In addition, the offensive and defensive teams of the two teams are also facing difficulties. Facing serious injuries, this not only affects the game state of both sides, but even the formation of the head coaches of both sides is full of uncertain factors. Now Hubble and McCarthy should be having a headache in choosing the starting lineup. "
"We have no way to accurately predict what accidents will happen on the field. This is why everyone reserved their opinions and did not express their opinions first. Obviously, the situation is still in a state of uncertainty, so let me start. "
Elizabeth's clarity made the other guests chuckle, and nodded in agreement. She did not hesitate any longer, and readily stated her choice, "I vote for Green Bay."
There was a chuckle in the studio immediately, as if everyone expected Elizabeth's choice.
But Elizabeth waved her hand in an upright manner, "Misunderstanding, you have misunderstood. I did not make this choice because I supported Rogers. We can return our attention to the last game of the regular season, Green Bay and San Francisco. There have been dramatic ups and downs in performance in the face of life-and-death battles, and both narrowly lost, but obviously Green Bay is in a better state now."
"You know, Green Bay's opponent, Chicago, has defeated many strong teams such as Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Dallas and the Giants this season. This also means..." Elizabeth could not finish her words, sitting on the Henry Jamison, who was diagonally opposite, interrupted.
"No, no! According to what you said, San Francisco's opponent Arizona is stronger. Not only is it the closest team to the wild card, but it also defeated the top seed Seattle in the previous week. So, San Francisco can fight To the end, and win, then the state of San Francisco should be..."
Henry expressed his point of view forcefully, but was unable to finish. Elizabeth continued, "No, no, no, I mean, all of Chicago's opponents this season have hopes of a playoff spot but are slightly worse. There are a few teams, which also means that the intensity of each confrontation is even better. Chicago can win. This is a tough battle..."
"Wait, wait, we have digressed from the topic now." Spencer intercepted all Henry and Elizabeth's words, then raised his hand to catch their eyes, "The focus is Green Bay and San Francisco! Not Arizona and Chicago. , okay?" The concise and clear sentence made everyone else nod. Elizabeth wanted to explain a few more words, but Spencer firmly shook his head in denial.
Then, Spencer expressed his opinion, "I understand what Elizabeth means. For San Francisco and Green Bay, there are too many uncertainties. Both teams must rely on on-the-spot performance to determine the direction of the game - of course , this is the case in all games, to say this is to say nothing.”
"Haha", everyone in the studio burst into laughter, and the slightly tense atmosphere relaxed because of Spencer.
"I have been struggling with this choice because I know that both quarterbacks have the ability to turn the game around with their own abilities. Maybe we will witness a Hail Mary scene." Spencer Sai's tone remained relaxed, but his mentality was still a little nervous, "But in the end, I still choose San Francisco."
"Eh!"
"Boring and boring."
"If you say it, you haven't said it yet."
There was a lot of commotion, and everyone made disgusting expressions. Elizabeth also burst into laughter, looking a little gloating.
Spencer did not defend himself, but waited quietly for everyone to calm down, and then explained, "Liz and I actually have the same point of view. I think San Francisco is in a better state now."
"Very good, now everyone is starting to guess based on their feelings. Why does it feel a bit like buying lottery tickets?" Edward said in a subtle way, and all the analysts and commentators burst into laughter. Although there was no sharpness and sharpness in tit-for-tat, the program still maintained It has a different style and creates additional viewing value. "How about it, does anyone still need to ask about the crystal ball or tarot cards? I can arrange it right away."
The whole audience burst into laughter, and both Elizabeth and Spencer were covered in arrows.
