Ten yards on first down and the pass was incomplete.
Lu Ke stared at his passing arc, moved his right arm slightly, and made repeated movements of his fingers and palms, opening and closing. He was very, very dissatisfied with his control of the passing arc——
The entire shot was still too rough and casual, and the attention was not 100% focused on the pass. There were not enough details, and the final landing point was a bit outrageous. It was three yards away from Crabtree, his passing target; more What's worse is that, judging from the parabolic trajectory, even if the landing point is accurate, Crabtree simply cannot complete the ball.
This was poor pass control.
Take a deep breath.
Lu Ke subconsciously bent his knees and continued to rotate his right arm to keep his muscles active in the freezing cold weather. This was not an easy task, especially after the continuous hot feeling was interrupted. , he needs to mobilize more actively.
Ten yards in second gear.
The Green Bay Packers defensive team only used four pass rushers to create enough advantages. The San Francisco 49ers' offensive line was still unable to complete its physical replenishment in a short period of time, and the pocket protection became fragmented again, which also forced Lu Ke's footsteps continued to retreat.
Seeing that the pocket was about to be completely broken, Lu Ke quickly swept around - two receivers, two tight ends and a running back all rushed out as receivers, on the left, center and right of the short passing area. The three parts formed different matchups, and then Lu Ke sent a five-yard short pass from a left diagonal.
The low passing line passed through the area where the forwards were entangled like a bullet. Inside linebacker Brad Jones tried to raise his hand to intercept the pass, but found that the passing speed was faster than expected. In the end, Jones just pounced. A blank, and the bullet pass was transmitted into Logan's arms.
Although the speed and strength were a little heavier than expected, Logan still used his chest as a backboard to intercept the forward momentum of the rugby. He controlled the rugby with both hands, turned around and prepared to continue advancing, but encountered a corner. Tackling by guard Tramon Williams——
Devin House seemed to be unable to keep up with his physical strength, so Tramon came on as a substitute. In fact, Tramon was the starting cornerback this season, but due to minor injuries, he was not included in the starting lineup in the playoffs; now, Tramon has returned to his familiar position.
In the first offensive and defensive confrontation, Tramon showed a good competitive state. Logan had successfully thrown off Telamon's center of gravity, but Tramon still did not give up. He grabbed Logan's left leg without mercy and dragged Logan to the ground without letting Logan go. Keep pushing forward.
Third gear and four yards.
The Green Bay Packers defensive team once again adopted a four-man pass rushing tactic. The offensive line barely withstood the first wave of impact, but soon retreated. The strength and speed gap in a short period of time still made the San Francisco 49ers The pocket protection was under a lot of pressure and his feet were always unsteady.
Such predicaments have repeatedly caused Lu Ke's tactical layout to face difficulties.
But Lu Ke still made slight adjustments to his offensive tactics in the predicament. In a two-by-two offensive position, the two outside receivers, Crabtree and Boldin, both went deep along the sideline. The area advanced at full speed; while the two tight ends on the inside of the two wings, Selleck and Logan, rushed towards the central zone. Their running routes intersected in the center, creating a deep gap in the receiving position one after another. .
The seemingly simple running route has changed the entire offensive coverage area. The short, medium and long passing areas are all laid out. This also forces the Green Bay Packers' second-line defensive players to retreat quickly, especially in the central zone. The tight end tandem of Logan and Selleck put the attention of the safeties and linebackers on top of each other.
Then Maku appeared silently.
Almost at the same time as the kickoff, Marcus, who was standing next to Lu Ke, rushed forward without deliberately creating a time difference. He visually deceived the two inside linebackers who were marking him; but Marcus did not take advantage of the situation. The speed was completely increased, allowing the four receiving players to rush forward, and his footsteps rushed forward along the radial line at a 60-degree angle on the right side - in terms of running straight distance, Marcus and other receiving players rushed forward. There is no obvious difference between the players.
Such a route can almost be seen as a repeat of the same run that Logan completed in the first half, tearing a big hole diagonally on the right wing and entering no man's land.
Because of the disadvantage of the forward confrontation, pocket protection is always in a precarious state, which also forces Lu Ke to speed up his shots.
On the one hand, under the aggressive defensive front, Lu Ke's position had to retreat again and again. In the blink of an eye, he was already six yards away from the ball line; on the other hand, Lu Ke's shot time was forced to be compressed, which also This leaves Marcus with no time to complete more advancements, and the passing connection will inevitably be shortened. At the same time, even if the ball is completed, the space for continuous forward advancement will encounter more thorns.
Simply put, the offensive team will face more difficulties in advancing.
That's it now.
A step back! Another step back! Lu Ke noticed from the corner of his eye that Marcus had created a gap, and he immediately raised the knife and passed the rugby ball!
While moving at a constant speed, Marcus turned around and completed the ball, but the "six-yard short pass" only put his feet on the line of scrimmage. There were still yards to be advanced before completing the first attack.
With no cornerbacks, no outside linebackers, and no safeties, Marcus was almost in a vacuum of no man's land, with everything in sight.
Wait, it’s not no man’s land!
At this time, the defensive team in great condition still captured Lu Ke's passing layout - due to the strong impact of the defensive front, Lu Ke's passing route combination, shot time control, etc. were severely compressed, which also made the second line of defense Naturally, there was more space to complete observations and improve the success rate of defense. Inside linebacker AJ Hawke caught Lu Ke's passing line.
Originally, the inside linebackers were responsible for guarding the running backs. Due to the cross running of Selleck and Logan, the vision judgment of Hawk and another inside linebacker Brad Jones was interfered with. Both of them retreated and began to assist the defense; but Hawk's vision was still unclear. Left Marcus and Lu Ke.
If Marcus didn't sound the alarm when he rushed forward in a diagonal line, then it couldn't be more obvious the moment Lu Ke passes the ball.
Start, sprint.
Hawke threw Selleck away on the spot, sprinted in the direction of Marcus's movement regardless, and intercepted Marcus in his path.
Marcus had just completed the pass and turned around to see Hawke rushing towards him. As a running back, Marcus did not panic at all. He took two small steps to adjust his steps and saw Hawke. Ke threw his entire body out and tried to complete the impact with a flying dive.
Marcus completed a 360-degree turn on the spot, evading Hawke's sure-to-win tackle. Although his left leg was still involved in Hawke's impact, his entire center of gravity shook severely. Able to stand on one foot with his right leg; even when the whole world was spinning, Marcus still forced himself to complete the circle, and his left leg landed on the ground again, not for support but for strength, pushing his body out again .
"Whoosh!"
Marcus also pushed his body out like a missile, completing the tapping movements on the ground with quick steps. Before his body completely lost control and lost control, he swooped forward with a diving leap. He rushed forward, holding the football tightly with both hands.
It was with this leap that Marcus successfully completed the first attack conversion!
Although this was not a big yardage advance, it was indeed a difficult advance in a head-to-head confrontation, especially now that the overall situation was even more unfavorable to the San Francisco 49ers. So, after Marcus stood up, he roared at his teammates, Not only does he vent his emotions, but he also uses his roar to stir up passion and blood, making his state surge again!
However, this is not an easy task. At this time, it is still the Green Bay Packers who have just tied the score to seize the highest morale point.
Immediately afterwards, the Green Bay Packers completed a high-quality ground defense - although Marcus held the ball tirelessly looking for gaps to advance and went around most of the court, his ankle was still held near the sideline. In the end, He barely managed two yards before falling out of bounds.
The toughness of the defensive team showed incredible strength, and the hot state entered a wormhole of selflessness. It even makes people wonder, is this the defensive team that ranks 25th this season? Is this still the same defensive team that was beaten by the San Francisco 49ers in the first three quarters of the game?
really!
When Lu Ke announced the kickoff again, the Green Bay Packers brutally and brutally launched a six-man pass rush. It was not just the numerical advantage, but the combination of misalignment and strength that allowed the defensive frontline to tear through the pocket protection in an instant. , a powerful impact hit his face. Even though Lu Ke was standing in the pistol formation, he was still forced to take continuous steps back to a position ten yards away from the kickoff line. The entire passing field of vision was completely destroyed.
Calm down!
Calm down!
Lu Ke's pocket steps have always remained stable, and he still insisted on finding passing routes in the stormy sea. But because it all happened too fast, the Green Bay Packers launched a targeted defense with four receiving players. They all fell into the dilemma of being closely guarded. They needed more time to get rid of the guard. The only exception was——
Marcus Lynch.
Switching from the right to the left, Marcus, who rushed out along the slot, was the only one with a spatial advantage because he stood next to Lu Ke in the pistol formation, which allowed him to gain four yards of acceleration. Space, although Marcus is not able to get rid of the defensive players now, but at least he has space to catch the ball.
It's him!
