The atmosphere in the stadium has obviously become intense. Whether it is the Carolina Panthers or the San Francisco 49ers, although no serious physical conflicts have broken out yet, the number of quarrels and pushing has obviously begun to increase. Red's hot-headedness can be seen as It is the result of the further intensification of obvious chemical reactions.
Red was also very upset because his irrationality ruined the efforts of the defensive team. He couldn't help but stand on the sidelines and cursed and complained, constantly emphasizing the opponent's continued provocations and secret actions, trying to use this method to To ease his guilt and cover up his shame, his teammates' repeated persuasion failed to calm him down - the weight of this game was too heavy, and he didn't want his mistake to become a turning point.
In the end, it was Navarro who stopped the chattering Red, "Shut up! Vent all your anger on the field, don't stand around like a resentful woman and do things with your mouth. We must look forward, understand? We There's defense to be done! Jesus-hell-Christ, shut your mouth!"
Then, Rhett became quiet.
No matter what, it was a done deal. The Carolina Panthers escaped death. They had obviously struck out, but they were unexpectedly "gifted" a first down and advanced fifteen yards in one go. It was a bit ironic. This is The home team's offense made its biggest push of the day so far, but aside from that, Cam Newton once again won the opportunity and avoided the disaster that allowed the San Francisco 49ers to further open the score.
Now, the focus is once again on Cam.
At the same time, Rhett also adjusted his breathing, trotted back to his defensive position, and moved his limbs and joints with gentle jumps.
Game, continue.
With the help of the yards gained from the foul, the Carolina Panthers rushed to the 45-yard line and approached the midfield line for the first time.
But...less than a hundred seconds later, the Carolina Panthers struck out again!
Ten yards on first down, ground rush, two yards.
Eight yards on second down, four yards on the ground.
Third down and four yards, delayed shot, short screen pass, incomplete pass.
There was an obvious deviation in Cam's pass - the angle and position were not wrong, but the force was too strong. The short five-yard pass exploded with power close to the mid-pass. The rhythm and speed of the bullet pass were obviously beyond As expected, the wide receiver Brandon Raphael failed to match the rhythm while running. As a result, in a hurry, he was tackled by Eric Reed in advance, destroying the pace of catching the ball. Even though Raphael Er was still trying his best to catch the ball, completing a circus acrobatic-like continuous throwing and catching game, but in the end the football unfortunately landed.
Pass incomplete.
Even if there is nothing they can do, the Carolina Panthers can only choose to punt. In this position and at this time, there is no need to choose to attack the fourth gear.
Rhett successfully completed his own redemption. To be precise, just ninety-one seconds after Reed's unnecessary foul gave his opponent the first offense, the Carolina Panthers still suffered a strikeout. The first quarter of the game was coming to an end, but the home team's offensive team still He was not able to attack more than half of the court, and even the first attack was only twice:
One relies on running the ball, and one relies on the opponent's foul.
"...For the Carolina Panthers, the problem is very, very serious now. Putting the score aside for the time being, Cam Newton is completely helpless against the San Francisco 49ers defense."
"On the one hand, it's because the visiting team's defense really performed well. They exerted huge pressure on the front line, sacked Newton twice, and created passing pressure four times, without giving Newton any breathing space; on the other hand, it's because Newton didn't have any breathing room at all. Entering the state, defensive reading, pocket steps, passing observation, tactical selection, etc., all aspects of skills are at a standstill, as if he suddenly can no longer play."
"So, how should the game continue?"
"Troy, what do you think? What should the Carolina Panthers do now?"
In the studio, both Kirk and Teddy cast their gazes towards Aikman. They were both analysts and commentators, experts on paper, but when it came to the actual game process, they knew nothing about it. At this time, the role of the owner of three Super Bowl championship rings is irreplaceable.
"Patience." Aikman gave the answer, "Competitive sports are very cruel and very cold. Faced with such a dilemma, the only way is to calm down and remain patient, look for the feel and status bit by bit, and wait for opportunities and opportunities bit by bit. Loopholes, waiting for opportunities to counterattack, because the opponent cannot maintain high intensity throughout the game."
"What if the opponent is really strong throughout the game?" Teddy asked curiously.
Aikman shrugged, "That means that today is the day that belongs to the opponent, not oneself. Then, one can only accept the bitter result of failure, then regroup and wait for the next opportunity. It sounds a little helpless. , and a bit useless, but this is competitive sports. Sometimes, you can’t win just by trying your best. Compared with strength, on-the-spot state and performance are the most beautiful parts of competitive sports.”
The eyes in the studio were once again directed towards the Bank of America Stadium, watching the progress of the game. Now there are two questions waiting to be answered:
Will Lu Ke give his opponent a chance to counterattack? Also, does Cam have enough patience?
At least, the Carolina Panthers finally have good news. Thanks to the excellent punting position, their special team finally relied on an excellent punt to suppress the San Francisco 49ers' offensive starting position to ten yards. Inside the line, Lu Ke must start this wave of offense from the eight-yard line.
Finally gained a slight upper hand.
"Ho ho ho, ho ho ho."
Just as the San Francisco 49ers offense was preparing to take the field again, the live broadcast signal showed a statistics screen. It was the top five picks in the first round of the 2011 draft, and... the undrafted rookie Lu Ke. This immediately made "Joe "The bar" burst into cheers.
The "battle for the No. 1 pick" is on the scene again, and the studio is also discussing the 2011 draft, which was full of magic and variables.
"Ho ho ho, ho ho ho."
This time the roar came from Bank of America Stadium. With five seconds left in the first quarter, the Carolina Panthers finally completed the first highlight moment of the game, setting off the excitement of the home fans. He was so enthusiastic that even the studio couldn't help but give him applause.
After Lu Ke came on the stage again, he still played steadily, relying on the balance of passing and running to complete the breakthrough. Among them, he faced the third gear once, but successfully converted; he got a total of three first attacks before and after, approaching the midfield again, and he was about to continue to break through. But he suffered the first sack of the game.
Facing a third-down, four-yard situation—this was the second third down of this offense—it was clear that the Carolina Panthers' second-ranked defense refused to surrender, especially after the 10th-place finish in the regular season. After Zhou's tragic defeat, their tactical changes became more diverse and timely, which put huge pressure on Lu Ke.
Lu Ke chose a screen pass and tried to use Selleck to quickly complete the pass connection in the central zone. Unexpectedly, his opponent saw through the tactical intention in advance. The offensive lineman who made the screen pass moved his footsteps and failed to deceive the opponent. Instead of being able to contain the opponent, the opponent seized on the loophole and moved forward directly.
The gap between Rupati and Goodwin was caught by the opponent. It was like a road to the sky, running straight from the front line to the quarterback without any obstruction. The opponent only used two steps to form a breakthrough. The rail train collided head-on, fiercely crashing towards Lu Ke.
Although Lu Ke continuously retreated, it was still far from enough. His opponent was so furious that he captured Lu Ke and killed him on the ground without any chance of escape.
Not only was he sacked, but Lu Ke also lost nearly seven yards, forcing the team to face a fourth-and-11 situation and strike out without question.
The one who completed the sack was No. 59 Luke Kickley!
Regardless of Cam's state, Kickley was absolutely dedicated and full of energy in today's game. Even though he was repeatedly hit by head-on blows, he still persevered in finding a way to fight. His tireless efforts finally paid off and gave San Francisco a victory. Not only did the 49ers' offense strike out for the first time in the game, but they also sacked Lu Ke, which really set off a frenzy of support at Bank of America Stadium.
It was not until this moment that the Devils, who topped the list this season, burst out with top energy at home.
"Grass!"
After Lu Ke stood up, he cursed in a dull voice. Rupati and Goodwin both surrounded him and tried to apologize to Lu Ke, but Lu Ke waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
It is true that there are still mistakes in rhythm coordination in the offensive line's pocket protection, but more responsibility lies with him. The defensive reading was not in place, and the tactical arrangement was seen through by the opponent. Kikli's breakthrough was completely "like entering no one's land." , did not encounter any obstacles at all, broke through directly from the center and completed the sack. This should be the easiest sack in history, almost equivalent to a one-on-one duel between Lu Ke and Kikli.
This is his responsibility.
Although now leading by three touchdowns, Lu Ke still did not relax his vigilance. Because Lu Ke himself understands deeply that a big lead can easily lead to slackness, and a little slackness may bring about a domino effect. Once the state slips, the difficulty of getting back up will increase exponentially. On the contrary It may become an opportunity for the opponent to reverse the lead——
Lu Ke is the quarterback who is best at reversal in the league. Naturally, he will not make such an arrogant and stupid mistake.
Therefore, even if it was just a strikeout, Lu Ke still carefully considered every tactical detail and kept his concentration as high as possible.
There was no need for special reminders or slogans. Lu Ke's focus and dedication infected the other players of the San Francisco 49ers' offense by setting an example. Only then did he feel a little proud, but then he calmed down again and returned his attention to the game. superior.
