Even the boldest and craziest analysts and commentators could not predict the current situation. The Green Bay Packers' offensive team actually handed over the ball in the two waves of offense since the opening, with one interception and one fumble. The most ridiculous thing is that the team's main quarterback Rodgers only attempted two passes. Not to mention entering the state, there was no sweat on his forehead.
what is happening? It almost makes people wonder if there is a big boss manipulating the game behind the scenes? Otherwise, how to explain this opening wake-up call?
Lamborghini Stadium couldn't help but be stunned for a short time. In a short period of time, it suffered three consecutive blows: an interception, an opponent's touchdown, and a dropped ball. Rogers, the absolute core of the Green Bay Packers, only stood on the field for less than fifty seconds. So, how can this game continue? How to win?
Although Lamborghini Stadium was ready for a tough battle, this start was definitely not what they expected.
There were also exclamations in the studio, but the unexpected content was slightly different.
"Tremaine Bullock, viewers, let us pay attention to this player, San Francisco's No. 26 player. He has become an absolute key figure in this wave of defense. He single-handedly blocked Nelson's position and forced Rogers to There was no way to lengthen the passing line, avoid the encirclement of San Francisco's defensive team, and complete the advance more efficiently and directly. In the end, we had to choose Boykin."
"Of course, Boykin is also the right choice. It is not as risky as Nelson. The success rate is guaranteed. There is no problem with Rogers' choice. In fact, Boykin did complete the ball and he was even able to continue to advance; But Bullock successfully got rid of Nelson's pick-up, and teamed up with his teammates to cut off Boykin's advancement route. When Boykin chose to force a breakthrough, Bullock instantly got rid of Nelson's entanglement and tackled him on his own. Hugged Boykin and ended up creating a fumble with a ferocious tackle.”
"Beast! Really a beast!"
"God, where did he come from? Why have I never heard his name? Is it my problem? I really have no memory of him at all."
Not only the audience in front of the TV, but also Aikman was confused, including Teddy - his first reaction was to cast his gaze at Kirk.
Sure enough, Kirk gave an explanation, "This is the 2010 undrafted rookie." Then you can see the surprise in the eyes of Aikman and Teddy. After Selleck, another undrafted rookie appeared. Rookie?
San Francisco, which is full of injuries this season, has really dug up a lot of treasures in the predicament. Kirk said with certainty, "Yes, he was an undrafted player that year. After joining the San Francisco 49ers, he has always been on the special team. Active until this season, due to the uneven backup lineup at cornerback, he was promoted to the main roster."
"During the regular season, Bullock played in all 16 games, starting four of them. His performance data were not particularly impressive - 35 personal tackles, 13 effective pass defenses, but he can still be regarded as a blue-collar player. Players. The San Francisco 49ers' second-line defense has been troubled this season, and they are constantly trying different permutations. Bullock's overall performance is relatively stable, which has also earned him a place."
"Before the official start of the playoffs, after the main starting cornerback Chris Gulliver relapsed with an old knee ligament injury and was retired for the season, last season's main backup cornerbacks Tarell Brown and Eric Wright also faced Troubled by injuries, Bullock was promoted to the starting lineup, and this was also the fifth game he started in his career."
Because there was not much information, Kirk completed the introduction in a few words, "Since Lu Ke took over the starting quarterback position of the San Francisco 49ers, the undrafted players on this team have performed very well. In the last game , Selleck became the turning point of the entire game, and now it seems that Bullock will also become an important role in this game."
Aikman nodded in affirmation, "Who said undrafted players have no ability? In fact, in the current mature and relatively complete draft system, there are still many outstanding players who are ignored, just like the New England Patriots Like Wes Welker, no one thought he could enter the league at first; but now he has written countless history and even changed the tactical layout system of the entire league-in my era, slot receivers were not considered A location.”
"The same goes for Lu Ke!" Aikman added.
As he spoke, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team had already appeared again. Lu Ke didn't even have time to take a drink of water before he went into battle again.
"Now, it depends on whether Lu Ke can continue to attack with high intensity and seize the opportunity." Kirk continued to explain the important points of the game to the audience, "Few people can see that the success of the first wave of offense The formation does not seem difficult; but in fact, Lu Ke's energy consumption is very intense. Now, he has not received sufficient rest, and then he must start a new round of attack, which is also a severe challenge."
"What's more, the Green Bay Packers are not prepared to deal with the game casually." Aikman added.
After a brief period of astonishment, Lamborghini Stadium has regained its attention, and the entire stadium thundered in unison with the same slogan:
"Defend!"
"Defend!"
"Defend!"
Instead of continuing to interfere with the game, they should cheer the home team back up. They must let their opponents know that this stadium will never give in easily!
At the 23-yard line of the Green Bay half, ten yards on first down, the San Francisco 49ers offense once again completed its formation.
"Open! Open!"
Amidst the roar of the audience, Lu Ke continued to shout to the receiving players on both sides. Different from the previous formation where everyone gathered together, this time Lu Ke completely opened up the entire offensive formation and repeated his old tricks. A multi-line offensive formation was formed, but the matching formation became a shotgun - the running back at this time has become Marcus Lynch, and now Lynch stands parallel to Lu Ke, covering the entire backfield. Empty out.
With only twenty-three yards from the end zone, Lu Ke put on a full-throated pass. Regardless of whether this was a smoke bomb or not, the defensive team must be more vigilant - no one in the entire league can underestimate Lu Ke's surprise attack on the end zone. The ability of no one!
This also forced the Green Bay Packers' linebackers and cornerbacks to retreat slightly. They did not retreat too much, but their positions were adjusted. The coverage area in the backfield was wider. Fortunately, there was no distance from the end zone. However, the area that pass defense needs to cover is correspondingly reduced.
However, the Green Bay Packers also realized the importance of frontcourt pressure. The three defensive frontmen and two outside linebackers all pressed forward, especially Clay Matthews, who continued to "step on the accelerator". "The stepping motion of his feet, ready to send a dangerous attack signal towards Lu Ke.
"attack!"
Lu Ke's kick-off slogan had just sounded, and the Green Bay Packers started a bloody storm in the frontcourt. Five defensive players rushed the ball in a misplaced manner and unreasonably tore their pockets - two offensive linemen Mike Lu Patty and Anthony Davis were directly isolated by the mismatch, and then the two outside linebackers Clay Matthews and Mike Neal broke through from both sides, penetrating through the ribs like two sharp knives. Come in.
Although the defensive front has been plagued by serious injuries this season, the Green Bay Packers still burst out with intensity at critical moments.
However, the San Francisco 49ers feinted again. It was not a passing attack, but a running attack. When Matthews and Neal both went to cut into the pocket, they saw Lu Ke, who no longer had the ball in his hands, standing there. in the pocket, and Marcus ran a slash off Crabtree's screen.
Obviously, the left wing of the multi-line attack lists three players, and Crabtree is left alone behind. After the kickoff, Boldin and Selleck picked off the ball in front, and Crabtree adjusted his steps, waiting for Lu Ke to pass the football to Marcus with a lateral throw, and then covered Marcus. Rush forward——
Crabtree in the front was responsible for blocking vision, interfering with judgment, and knocking away obstacles; Marcus behind was constantly accumulating strength. After his footsteps crossed the kickoff line, Marcus' acceleration had fully exploded, and then he started from Crabtree's left side jumped out and quickly penetrated diagonally toward the sideline.
The entire running route is very concealed and very neat, with a sense of sharpness without losing any blood.
When Marcus jumped out, the cornerback and safety defense had just had time to start. Although they still formed a circle with their numerical advantage, Marcus still easily advanced seven yards and continued the game. Since the beginning, the ground attack has been in strong form.
The Green Bay Packers' defensive team is indeed relatively weak, and among them, the ground defense is even weaker. Now, Lu Ke continues to use the Green Bay Packers' defensive tactical layout today to open up the entire offensive situation, passing and running. The distribution of the ball had already gained the upper hand before kick-off, but now the home team's defensive team still failed to come up with a response in time - they still adhered to the tactics prepared before the game, and their reaction speed was half a beat behind.
Things are changing rapidly, and this is definitely not just talk. During the game, the coaching staff of both sides not only need to prepare as carefully and detailed as possible before the game, but also need to have enough understanding of the changes on the spot and think of solutions, otherwise it will become more and more difficult. Passive, this is the situation now for the Green Bay Packers.
But Lu Ke knew that he couldn't let his opponent take a breather, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to seize the commanding heights. I was fully focused on the game. The cold weather was still biting, and my arm and thigh muscles were still slightly stiff. But now I was fully focused on the game, and even the cold was forgotten.
How should the next wave of attacks be planned?
