Ready to move. Ready to move!
Lu Ke, who was the first to appear on the field, was reading defensively at this time. He could clearly feel the excitement on the court. Whether it was the offensive team or the defensive team, their high fighting spirit and fierce sparks made them eager to start a head-on showdown. , the rolling magma hidden under the skin may erupt at any time.
The Carolina Panthers defense sets up a basic formation:
The four defensive linemen are on the first line, and the three linebackers are two steps behind; the two cornerbacks are on the outside of the wings, facing off against the wide receivers; the two safeties are hoarded in the center one after the other, and one Positioning almost parallel to the linebacker, one opened up a distance of more than fifteen yards.
The core of the entire defense is still on the front line, with ground defense and front line pressure being its strengths; and the core of the core is the judgment of outside linebacker Luke Kickley. His interpretation and prediction will become the hub of the entire defense, revitalizing the entire defense. —Of course, he also has the strong support of his teammates. The second-highest ranking in the league is definitely not just talk. After losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the tenth week of the regular season, this team won six of the remaining seven games. And the growth of the defensive team is visible to the naked eye.
Lu Ke's eyes fell on Kikli No. 59, and the second showdown of "Skywalker VS Skywalker" officially arrived.
As the eyes of the two sides collided, Lu Ke could feel the burning "will to win" in Kikli's eyes. He was gearing up to prepare for the duel, but Lu Ke's eyes passed over Kikli's body and quickly Keep an eye on all the positions of the entire defensive team.
From the corner of his eye, he could see Kikli discussing tactics with his teammate Chase Blackburn, combined with the positioning of other positions in the defensive team. Then, Lu Ke quickly changed the tactical instructions.
Logan, who was originally standing on the inside of the left wing, took two steps back, bypassed the positions of Lu Ke and the offensive line, and came to the inside of the right wing to match his position. The San Francisco 49ers' offensive formation also multiplied from two to two. Switching to a multi-route route, the entire right wing is stocked with three receivers, including both tight ends.
Sure enough, Thomas-Davis, the outside linebacker who was defending Logan, followed suit and moved from one side to the other.
The three linebackers of the Carolina Panthers are in an atypical position. The two outside linebackers Thomas Davis and Chase Blackburn are paired with middle linebacker Luke Kickley——
Kickley's position is called the middle linebacker in the three-linebacker formation, and it is called the inside linebacker in the four-linebacker formation. In fact, the core meaning is the same, indicating that he is in the middle and is responsible for marking and running. Guards and short passes; but because Kickley's personal ability is very outstanding, he can often step up to complete sudden passes and even sack the quarterback. This also gives the Carolina Panthers' frontline defense more possibilities. .
As a result, the positions of Kickley, Thomas, and Blackburn were often deliberately disrupted to confuse the quarterback's defensive reading judgment.
That's it at this point.
The original position was Blackburn in the center, Thomas and Blackburn on both sides; but now, Thomas bypassed Blackburn and came to the left side of Kickley, and then formed Kickley in the center, Thomas and Blackburn on two sides. However, Kickley's position was not opponent center Jonathan Baldwin, but attacking right guard Anthony Davis. This also caused the Carolina Panthers' linebacker position to be significantly tilted -
The San Francisco 49ers' offensive formation tilts to the right, so the Carolina Panthers' defensive formation also tilts to the left.
Then, Kikli and Blackburn began to tiptoe. The moment Lu Ke announced the kick-off——
"attack!"
Lu Ke's timing of announcing the kick-off was very smooth. Logan stood firm. After the entire formation was determined, while his eyes were still sweeping the defense, the kick-off command was shouted out; Kickley and Blackburn were the first to He stepped forward and adjusted his position with the four defensive front teammates. In an instant, six people rushed the pass, creating a numerical advantage.
The smartest thing is that Kickley attracted the active firepower himself and faced Anthony Davis face-to-face; while Blackburn made a slight mistake and took advantage of his teammates to form a one-on-one matchup, attacking from the other side. The gap between Mike Rupatti and Joe Stanley cut in.
"Five men VS six men", the Carolina Panthers cleverly took advantage of the misplaced matchup and used five players to block five offensive linemen respectively. Then, Blackburn chose the relatively weak side of the multi-line offense. , a delayed step forward, and he passed the first wave of the offensive line in an instant. Without encountering any obstacles, he successfully formed a breakthrough from his right side, that is, the opponent's left side, and pierced the pocket like a sharp blade.
Done!
Blackburn's footsteps continued to accelerate vigorously, and then he could see Lu Ke with the entire blind side completely open. He immediately realized that their deception tactics worked - Lu Ke focused all his attention on Kikli On the body, this created an absolute advantage for him.
Kick the ground!
Kick the ground!
Blackburn did not accelerate with all his strength, but put all his strength into the forward momentum. Like a roaring brown bear, he opened his arms and flew towards Lu Ke - because this was Lu Ke's blind side, he could It was clearly seen that Lu Ke's entire back was wide open and he was completely unaware of the approaching crisis. However, the footsteps of Rupati and Stanley were completely entangled by his teammates, and they were easily captured!
Even though Lu Ke was quickly retreating to distance himself, Blackburn still went all out to apply pressure, one step! Two steps! Three steps!
Seeing that his prey was already one step away from him, a figure jumped out from the side and blocked Blackburn's forward momentum fiercely. He didn't even notice the person coming and was caught off guard. He started to stumble, and a name came to his mind: Marcus Lynch.
However, before Blackburn had time to worry and panic, he could see Lu Ke completing the pass in the solid collision of forwards.
Damn it!
Blackburn could only subconsciously shift his gaze and follow the flying arc of the rugby, but he was unable to see the landing point of the rugby because the length of the pass was beyond his line of sight and it actually hit the target. Pass - even long pass, Lu Ke's shot was resolute and decisive, without any hesitation. He had obviously made all the calculations in advance.
Even with hindsight, Blackburn realized that their defensive tactics had been seen through by Lu Ke. The next second, the noise in the stadium could be heard. It looked like the San Francisco 49ers had finished. catch the ball.
"kick off!"
"Kickley and Blackburn both stepped up! Six people rushing the passer! The Carolina Panthers used their frontline pressure ability to create trouble for their opponents in the opening period."
"Blackburn cuts into the pocket! Lu Ke passes the ball! Beautiful, Lynch's pick-up at the critical moment bought Lu Ke passing time, and Lu Ke found...Logan Newman with an 11-yard pass!"
"Newman! Newman's sudden acceleration got rid of Thomas Davis' close guard. Davis' footsteps could not keep up. Newman created a gap with an impact. Davis's position was unstable and the gap ! Wow, there was a major deviation in Davis' marking this time, which actually allowed Newman to create a two-step gap!"
"Newman! Catch the ball!"
"Beautiful! There is no problem. Newman caught the eleven-yard pass safely near his helmet. There is still room to advance directly in front of him!"
"Davis is covering up! Davis failed to tackle Newman right away! Newman's forward steps are very steady, Mike Mitchell is covering up! Mitchell intercepted Newman's forward path, Newman Still pushing forward! Davis and Mitchell completed the flanking attack one after another!"
"Newman! Newman almost, ah, almost got rid of Mitchell's tackle, but Davis still arrived in time, losing his center of gravity, delaying Newman's steps, and then Mi Chell made the final tackle and caused a knockdown. The final advance was limited to eighteen yards."
"Wow! Judging from the first wave of offense, Lu Ke has already entered the state and saw through the opponent's tactical intention of rushing the pass in advance. Marcus Lynch's pick-and-roll play played a key role and won Lu Ke a chance. There was little passing time; Lu Ke was also ready to seize it, and with a light throw pass, he found Logan Newman in the central area to form a one-on-one; it can be seen from the overall situation that other receiving players The running route was completely pushed away, and even safety guard Mike Mitchell was passed by, unable to cover the defense immediately, which gave Logan more room to advance."
"The Carolina Panthers defense needs to face the strongest brains in the league. They have to be tougher and more cautious."
"Oh! What was not captured in the live broadcast just now was that after the Carolina Panthers' 93rd outside linebacker Chase Blackburn broke free from Marcus Lynch's pick, he pushed Lu Ke away with one hand and directly pushed Lu Ke Ke was pushed to the ground. This was an unnecessary physical contact. Although it was not rough, it was indeed unnecessary."
Rupati and Stanley immediately blocked Lu Ke and Blackburn, staring at Blackburn with wide eyes. The referee also rushed over immediately and issued a warning to Blackburn, "Watch you. Action! Don’t let me see it a second time! This is absolutely prohibited on the playing field.”
Blackburn didn't say anything more. He glared at Lu Ke fiercely, turned around and left.
Lu Ke stood up on his own and waved to his teammates to indicate that he was fine. Blackburn just pushed him. His attention was on the passing line and he didn't notice it. He swayed along with his center of gravity and fell to the ground. In fact, there was no impact or pain.
After calling on his teammates to quickly complete the formation, Lu Ke was ready to attack again: the best revenge is to encroach on their territory inch by inch and finally score a touchdown.
