The studio of "Within the Alliance" was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. The chemical reactions that exploded every minute kept everyone on the scene in a tense state. Every topic, sentence, expression, and even tone of voice changed everything. It may take the intensity of the debate to a new level.
One second, everyone was still debating about playoff experience; the next second, the whole audience was collectively debating which one of the two teams was better in terms of absolute strength.
"Has the showdown in the opening game of this season been forgotten like this? Green Bay has the upper hand. Even if it faces San Francisco head-on, Green Bay will never fall behind!"
"But it was San Francisco that won the opening game! And Lu Ke missed more than two quarters of the game!"
"In terms of the overall strength of the team, San Francisco is undoubtedly the more favored team. Leaving aside the offensive team, the strong strength of the defensive team is enough to be the key to turning the game around!"
"No, no, no, everyone underestimates the strength of Green Bay, okay? This is a team that has sustained high-intensity output for three seasons. They don't just have one Aaron Rodgers!"
"Isn't it San Francisco? The only NFC teams that have made it to the playoffs for three consecutive seasons are San Francisco and Green Bay. Are the strengths of the undefeated seasons forgotten like this? That was just a year ago. That’s all!”
"Yes, yes, a win-win season! Don't forget, this is exactly San Francisco's shortcomings! The team has just ended a win-win season, and the injuries and status challenges faced by the team are very severe. Look at the seventeenth week. You will know from the matchup, their spirit and body have reached their limits, their state has fluctuated very obviously, and the intensity of the playoffs may defeat the team at any time!"
"But as long as Lu Ke is in charge, the mental will of this team is the most tenacious - in the past three seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have the highest comeback winning rate when trailing, leading the league! The fourth-quarter reversal The game has created countless classics, and they are not that easy to collapse!"
"After defeating Green Bay in the season opener, San Francisco also has the possibility to defeat Green Bay in the playoffs. Mental will and game experience will never become a stumbling block for San Francisco. In the past three seasons, Lu Ke has created too many miracles. I think Lu Ke has the ability to rewrite the impossible!"
"Green Bay's overall strength is more stable! We are talking about possibly becoming the most dominant team in the second decade of the new century, okay?"
"Are you sure? Green Bay's defense has never been able to get really tough!"
…
"Quiet! Quiet!" Amidst the noise, Edward's throat was already sore, but he still couldn't control the out-of-control situation. It was really scary. In the end, the director cut off the recording and used the loudspeaker to sort it out. After regaining order, Edward found his voice again, "Did everyone ignore one thing?"
What's up?
"Weather." Edward said one word.
Just like the New England Patriots' Gillette Stadium, the Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field is also one of the worst weather stadiums in the league. Every winter, except for the Buffalo Bills, Lambeau Field and Gillette Stadium are... One of the coldest stadiums in the league, heavy rain and snow are commonplace. Therefore, the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers, who have home-field advantage in the playoffs, do have some advantages.
For example, Peyton Manning is a typical representative. He needs to control the arc and placement of the football, and also needs a combination of long and short passes to open up the situation. Compared with Tom Brady, who is unique in short passing ability, Manning Ning is more obviously affected by the weather. Even within the league, he is often criticized, "He is not good at fighting in winter, so the winning rate in the playoffs is always low."
Lu Ke is also a technical pocket quarterback. The negative impact of the weather cannot be easily ignored. This is bound to become an important factor that cannot be ignored in the game.
boom!
Edward soon realized that he had ignited another powder keg, and the discussion in the studio exploded again.
"I think Lu Ke has proven his ability to fight in cold weather!"
"But not at Lambeau Field! San Francisco defeated Green Bay twice, both in early September. Now that it's January, Lu Ke will definitely face a more severe challenge at Lambeau Field."
"Remember the 'Chicken Soup Battle'? Lu Ke is definitely not afraid of fighting in the snow in winter! Pay attention! We just discussed Lu Ke's game adaptability and on-the-spot adaptability!"
"Green Bay is not San Francisco!"
"Rogers will inevitably be affected by the bad weather in Green Bay. I think this is fair to both parties!"
"Lu Ke's passing will definitely be severely affected! That's Green Bay!"
"So, do we still have to look at the weather forecast now? I don't know, when did weather forecast become part of the prediction game? Lu Ke and Rogers are both very capable, and the negative impact of the weather must be minimized. , this is not the focus of our discussion at all!”
"Why not?"
dispute! dispute! Still controversial!
The bustling quarrel couldn't stop at all, and no one could convince the other, especially as unpredictable weather factors might become the key to disrupting the situation. The already inseparable situation became even more chaotic - together with the supporters of the camp. They also hold slightly different views. Each analyst and commentator insists on his own opinion. This can be explained from the side:
The two teams are too close in terms of strength, status, and even the predicaments they face. This also makes it impossible to draw a firm conclusion on the outcome of the game. All options are left to It's just a "family talk", which also caused the debate "within the alliance" to completely explode to the extreme. The uncompromising arguments and discussions pushed the craze of the program to the peak!
But no matter what, everyone has to pick a winner: because this is a single-elimination playoff.
In the end, the San Francisco 49ers won five votes and the Green Bay Packers won five votes. It was a real tie——
After all, the analysis and commentators were still unable to distinguish the superior from the inferior, truly interpreting the dilemma of being in a dilemma, and then returned to the original point of view:
On-the-spot performance will determine the outcome of the game. Saying it means not saying it.
The same is true for neutral fans. The strong confrontation between the two teams is undoubtedly the most interesting and unpredictable game in the wild card round. Some fans even call this game "pre-staged." "National League Finals", mainly because of the strong influence of both sides -
"Lu Ke VS Rogers" is a duel between a potential elite quarterback and a true elite quarterback. It is also the highest-paid playoff life-or-death battle in the history of the league. Among the many old and new duels in the National League and American League, this is definitely It can be said to be the most noteworthy game, perhaps second only to "Manning VS Brady", but this matchup did not take place on the National League finals stage, but took place early in the wild card game. It was indeed important. The sense of sight that the pound-for-pound showdown will begin in advance.
No matter what, this also means that the game will be very exciting to watch; most importantly, the result will also be full of suspense. Just thinking about it is enough to make you scream.
This is especially true for the fans of the opposing teams. Starting from the press conference on Wednesday, the endless cheers have spread.
But in fact, the relationship between the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers is very friendly. Lu Ke favors Green Bay, and Rogers' first choice was San Francisco. The two quarterbacks cannot be considered close friends, but they are also related. Friendly, there are many interactions and jokes on social networks.
In the opening game of the 2012 season, Lu Ke expressed his love for this stadium at Lambeau Field, and had a brief exchange with local fans after the game; in the opening game of the 2013 season, when Rogers learned of the death of Ryan Baldwin, he took the initiative to He led the team to stay and joined the home team in escorting this loyal fan to the Candlestick Stadium for the last time.
Although the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Green Bay Packers for two consecutive seasons, the relationship between the two teams has never changed, but has become more and more familiar.
Everyone knows that this wild card game is a battle of life and death. Both teams have put in countless efforts to get here, and neither of them wants their footsteps to stop here. This is a battle where the bayonet will see red; But the atmosphere between the two teams was completely devoid of any tension.
"Of course, I think Green Bay is the favorite and they have an enviable group of players, Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Clay Matthews, Mike... Mike Daniels...wait, wait, honestly, I can't go on counting, otherwise the coach will doubt my loyalty; but I will do my best to cause an upset." Wednesday's official news On the day above, Lu Ke said this in an interview.
On the other side, Rogers was also being interviewed, "I definitely don't admit that Lu Ke is a better player than me, but he does have a team in better condition. They are currently full of confidence and are gradually reaching their peak condition." Well, I think San Francisco can win. But standing on the stage, I will still go all out to give the fans a wonderful game. That is my primary goal. The team that performs better will win in the end. .”
"Yes! I'm better than Aaron." When the reporter tried to provoke Lu Ke, Lu Ke actually said the affirmative answer that the reporter expected, but then the conversation changed and the content changed. " I mean, when facing reporters. Did you see his expression when he was being interviewed? It was so stiff, I almost wanted to cry."
"What? There is no such thing!" Rogers said when he learned about Lu Ke's "accusation" of him, "When I face reporters now... I handle it... very well. I feel... natural, yes, I am very Naturally." After two seconds of silence, Rogers added, "I think I am more handsome than Lu Ke. This is a positive answer and I will not accept refutation."
"Ha." Lu Ke responded in a sarcastic way, "I reserve my opinion, otherwise, find a chance during the offseason and let's star in 'Bachelor' together and see who the female guest will choose."
"Hahahahaha." Rogers laughed heartily, "Who gave him such courage?" Then Rogers looked at the reporter with an extremely serious attitude, "Then it's settled! I accept the challenge."
