JJ Watt once said in an interview that you must never try to interpret Lu Ke's tactical changes, otherwise you will easily be led by the nose.
Originally, the offensive team took the lead in the offensive and defensive duel, and Lu Ke's budget and layout capabilities are second to none. This also allows the San Francisco 49ers offensive team to often take more advantages. If the defensive team cares too much about Lu Ke's tactical changes, It was very easy to lose the initiative and be led into the ditch by Lu Ke accidentally.
In the past three seasons, the defensive teams that have really caused the San Francisco 49ers to suffer - the Baltimore Ravens and Seattle Seahawks have relied on their absolute strength to fight against each other. They unreasonably contained the offensive team in head-to-head confrontations, especially the breaking offense. The striker's pocket protection leads to a head-on physical confrontation with Lu Ke; rather than seizing the advantage through tactical layout.
It is precisely because of this that the Arizona Cardinals defensive team chose to break the game with wisdom last week and once had the upper hand, which caused countless exclamations. They also proved that football is a collective sport after all. Even if Lu Ke can count on all his plans, But the defensive team was still able to break the situation through collective wisdom, and they were just a little bit close to succeeding.
At this time, the Green Bay Packers are trying to learn from the experience of the Arizona Cardinals, narrowing the gap with the San Francisco 49ers offense as much as possible, using collective strength to overturn their opponents, and completing the feat of defeating the weak against the strong. Then, the members of the defensive team Even less likely to be easily affected by Lu Ke's changes.
This was the case for inside linebacker AJ Hawke. Faced with Lu Ke's continuous tactical changes, he dismissed all distracting thoughts and focused intently on the interaction between Lu Ke and Gao Er. He maintained a state of full alert with his body center of gravity and prepared a good ground defense. Preparation for zone defense with short passes.
"attack!"
boom!
Bang bang!
As Lu Ke's kick-off slogan sounded, the muffled sound of a head-on collision suddenly burst out like New Year's Eve firecrackers - the Green Bay Packers' defensive frontline chose a surprise pass rush tactic!
The home team's defensive team no longer stubbornly insisted on focusing on the second-line defensive strategy. Instead, they used front-line pressure tactics to disrupt Lu Ke's passing rhythm. They chose a five-man pass rush tactic, with three defensive forwards and two outsiders. The guard comes to fight, trying to tear down the offensive line's pocket protection.
At the same time, Hawke and his inside linebacker partner Brad Jones did not act rashly. They stuck to their positions and maintained the flexibility of their center of gravity. Their eyes were firmly aimed at Lu Ke, and they were amidst the waves of collision and confrontation at the front. Locked in Lu Ke's movements, and then Hawke captured the movements of Lu Ke and Gower completing the rugby handover.
Run the ball!
Hawke adjusted his steps slightly. After confirming that Gower was holding the ball and rushing forward, he was half a beat behind Jones. Block.
But Hawke only had time to take two steps forward, and then a burly and strong body appeared in his sight, charging head-on unreasonably and completing the sniper attack——
After half a beat, Hawke realized that the person intercepting him was actually tight end Garrett Selleck. He didn't even know where Selleck came from, and he could still see the same thing out of the corner of his eye. When Jones was attacked by a sniper, the two inside linebackers' forward steps were both intercepted, and the chance to complete the position immediately was lost when the helmets collided.
Then, Gower with the ball appeared in the peripheral vision.
"what happened?"
Hawke was extremely panicked, but his body and footsteps were completely stuck by Selleck, as if he had hit a wall. Before he could get out of the way, in the blink of an eye, Gower had already made a breakthrough!
…
This is a carefully designed tactical layout, very delicate and extremely precise - the Green Bay Packers are not the only team to be fully prepared before the game.
At the moment of kick-off, Joe Stanley, Jonathan Goodwin and Anthony Davis on the offensive front all stepped forward and took the initiative to meet the three players on the opposite defensive front; at the same time, standing on both offensive fronts. Alex Boone and Michael Crabtree on the side stood still without moving, waiting and watching the movements of the two outside linebackers, and then offensive guard Mike Rupadi was squeezed out of his position. , the confrontation was completed with dislocation, forming a "five VS five" pattern——
This is a strategy often used by the defensive team. After deliberately creating mismatches, they consciously leave the offensive linemen vacant, especially the offensive guards, turning them into idle waste, thereby creating a numerical advantage for the defensive team in other positions. For example, the outside linebacker forms a breakthrough from the outside and launches a surprise attack on the quarterback. But this time, it was the offensive team's proactive change of formation that unexpectedly broke the balance between the two sides.
Boone and Crabtree on both sides of the offensive line did not rush forward rashly, but waited for the outside linebackers to exert force. If it was a pass rush and pressure tactic, then they would take the initiative to form a confrontation; if it was to retreat to the second line Defense, then Crabtree can create gaps with time differences and become a passing target.
Although Boone will be useless, it can give the San Francisco 49ers the upper hand in the frontline confrontation - not to mention, if necessary, Lu Ke can use Boone's cover to run with the ball and finish from the left Breakthrough, which is equivalent to a variant of the read option offense.
Sure enough, the Green Bay Packers chose the frontcourt pressure surprise tactic!
If you observe carefully, you can find that after Lu Ke announced the kick-off, he made a slight adjustment in his steps, his eyes quickly swept across, and captured the confrontation between the forwards, so he gave up the intention of passing the ball while retreating, turned around and handed the football to Gall was dispatched and the ground advance was carried out according to the original plan.
At this time, Rupati, who was forced to be "idle", and Selleck, who was at the top of the inverted triangle on the left, delayed for half a beat, followed the movements of the two inside linebackers, and both stepped forward with one move. He rushed forward sideways at a 60-degree right diagonal angle, facing two inside linebackers respectively, blocking their defensive line.
Then, the entire frontline confrontation formed a "seven VS seven" formation.
In other words, the Green Bay Packers accumulated heavy troops in the frontcourt, and the San Francisco 49ers also set up a dragnet in the frontcourt. From a light and agile long sword duel to a heavy and tough shield collision, dazzling sparks burst out in an instant. Lu Ke, who had planned in advance, successfully took the lead.
Finally, when Lu Ke announced the kick-off, only two players, Boldin on the left and Logan on the right, rushed forward and used them as smoke bombs to divert the attention of the opponent's second-line defense, allowing They don't want to see through the San Francisco 49ers' tactics right away.
But even the running of the two players is exquisite. Logan formed a confrontation with the cornerback Shields, rushing forward in a straight line, showing the momentum of a full sprint, which not only prevented Shields from slacking off, but also restrained Shields. got the safety guard's attention.
Boldin, on the other hand, had a different look. He rushed forward five yards to form a confrontation with cornerback Devin House, but he just touched and walked away, and then turned towards safety Morgan who was standing not far away. Bonnet rushed over and blocked Bonnet's position with his body, further creating a channel for the ground to advance.
Now, it's up to Frank Gall.
…
Gower did not fully increase his speed, because in a dense crowd, the result of rashly speeding up at full speed may be to directly hit the wall.
Stepping on his toes, adjusting his center of gravity, and exerting force on his calves, Gower's steps were light and agile, and he found a narrow path of advancement among the dense crowd, but this was enough for him - crossing the gap between Stanley and Goodwin. The gap then bypassed the entanglement between Hawke and Selleck.
The peripheral vision could even capture the panic on Hawke's face, but Goyle quickly moved forward in small steps, and then Hawke's face became a stream of light, sliding behind him in the blink of an eye, but the two turned and stepped forward. Bu Gaoer had successfully broken through the Chu-He-Han boundary where the two forward lines were entangled, and the court was already laid out right in front.
On the left, House is adjusting his center of gravity.
Diagonally forward, Boulding and Bonnet were entangled and confronting each other.
In just a moment of adjusting his steps, Gower had already completed his judgment of the situation. Without pausing, he moved his body to the right with a flick of his right foot, away from House, and towards Boldin and Bonnet. The confrontation was diagonally forward on the right side, which caused House's initial defense to lose its target. He was forced to start a second time and follow Gower to eat dust.
Kick, kick, kick!
Kick, kick, kick!
Gall finally released all his speed and rushed forward with all his strength, throwing away House and Bonet. He rushed forward with all his strength along the diagonal line on the right, his full burst of speed was like that of a tiger, and his momentum was fierce. A full-scale attack towards the end zone, ten yards! Fifteen yards! The entire running momentum burst out with an unstoppable momentum, instantly making the Green Bay Packers' defense line tremble——
MD-Jennings, the only defensive safety guard, became the last line of defense. He constantly adjusted his steps and flew towards Gower with all his strength, hitting Gower's thigh and shoulder with his shoulder. Near the waist, Gower's center of gravity was severely damaged, and his steps became unsteady.
Immediately afterwards, the cornerback Shields, who arrived quickly, bumped into Gower from the side again. This completely destroyed Gower's forward momentum and fell to the ground, ending the advance.
Twenty yards!
Gower's ground advance completed a full twenty yards, from the thirty-yard line directly to the ten-yard line, and stood on the edge of the red zone in one go!
Danger!
The entire Lambeau Stadium smelled a strong sense of danger, and the fans burst into thunderous noises, trying to disrupt the offensive team's tactical layout.
The live broadcast footage captured Rogers standing on the sidelines. He was a little anxious and did not sit on the bench and read the tactical manual. After all, it had just begun and the established tactics had not been opened yet. There was not much point in reading the tactical manual now; it was more important. What's interesting is that his eyes are completely fixed on the court. He clearly knows how difficult it will be in the subsequent games if Lu Ke takes the lead in opening the game, and the source of all this comes from his own mistakes. Absolutely something you shouldn’t do.
"Boom boom boom!"
All the home fans were united and tried their best to create obstacles for the visiting team.
