Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano is also clearly aware of the tense atmosphere of the game. Now the duel between the two teams has risen to a whole new level. It has gradually spread from an offensive and defensive contest to a special teams confrontation, restraining each other and calculating against each other. The entangled competition of mutual games is breaking out in full force.
The tense atmosphere made Gano's kickoff slightly lower than expected. According to the plan, the most perfect kickoff should be to cut within the fifteen or ten yard line and let the returner catch the football, but it didn't happen. This left time and space for a counterattack, but in the end, Gano's landing point control was still not accurate enough and entered within the fifteen-yard line. However, the parabolic control was not able to be fully improved, and more or less, some gaps were left.
Of course, it's impossible to achieve theoretical perfection on every kickoff. Just as players are not robots after all, Gano has done a great job and the rest is left to the rest of the Carolina Panthers' special teams. .
The rugby ball's parabola rose high, like a thrilling rainbow pass, but the entire arc control was not as fine and accurate as hand-passing. The highest peak was lower than expected, and the falling speed was also faster than expected. , is continuing to fall at an accelerating rate.
Because Gano's kicking pursues depth and height, it is impossible to control the details too delicately. Marcus Lynch just adjusted his small steps slightly and was already ready to catch the ball. It was not difficult to catch the ball. It is large, lacks rotation and power attachment, and cannot cause more trouble for the returner. This allows Marcus to vaguely capture the surrounding situation with the corner of his sight while adjusting his footsteps.
Although Marcus could not accurately capture the figure of the specific player, let alone the number or face, he could only vaguely see the moving trend of blurred lights and shadows: black is the Carolina Panthers, white is the San Francisco 49ers.
Two touches of black and two touches of white are intertwined in opposite positions. The black and white lights and shadows are completely intertwined. It seems that they can capture the shape of the wind. They form a flanking attack on the left and right, and they collide towards Marcus's position at a high speed. Getting faster and faster, like a tornado, sweeping over in a mighty manner.
But Marcus couldn't dodge or escape, because the football was still falling and he hadn't been able to catch the ball yet, so naturally he couldn't leave.
From this perspective, Gano's kick-off was very successful.
"Whoosh!"
Marcus finally put his hands around the football and caught it firmly. Almost at the same time, two black and white whirlwinds also rushed over, and he could faintly notice that the black was seizing the position, regardless of the situation. Rushing towards Marcus.
boom!
boom!
The first sound! Second sound! Two forces hit Marcus one after another, forcing Marcus to take half a step back.
It can be clearly noticed that in order to avoid fouls, the two black whirlwinds were unable to combine their strength, because according to the rules of the game, the rules for kickoff returns, punt returns, and ball catches are the same. When the receiver receives the ball, the rules are the same. Before catching the rugby, defensive players are prohibited from engaging in any behavior that interferes with the ball, including but not limited to pulling, hitting, grabbing, etc. Only when the opponent catches the rugby can they start to defend. That's it now.
The football has not yet fallen, and Marcus has not been able to catch it. The defensive players have already arrived first. In order to avoid fouls, they cannot immediately tackle or pull Marcus. They can only use the squeezing of the body to destroy it. Marcus' position made them somewhat constrained.
In the first impact, the Panthers player did not dare to use all his strength. A series of emergency braking steps weakened his speed and strength. In the end, it was just a painless impact, and both of them died due to the reaction force. Each took half a step back.
In the second impact, the Panthers players accelerated fully and were unable to stop the car and failed to fully aim. Although they grabbed Marcus's waist, they were thrown out by their own strength. The huge centrifugal force caused his The body continued to rush forward, flying out with Marcus as the center of the circle, as if holding a steel pipe and starting to spin in a circle. However, the circle failed, so it flew up high and fell heavily, which was tragic and embarrassing.
Because of the first impact, Marcus retreated a small half step, and then was forced to stop due to the second pull. His steps were a little unsteady, but the front and rear forces invisibly formed a delicate balance. Let Marcus stabilize his center of gravity, and complete the judgment with a sweeping glance, and then
Second start!
At this moment, there were only four players surrounding Marcus, two black and two white. Five yards away from the front, there were four other black players sprinting at full strength, two slightly faster and two slightly slower. Slowly, Marcus' position formed a heavy encirclement.
Gano's kickoff and the Carolina Panthers' special teams team were in perfect harmony.
But Marcus keenly caught a gap: neither of the two close defenders were able to complete the tackle, although they were now standing close to Marcus, with less than half a distance between them. Arm, they still couldn't let Marcus form a dead ball.
If it is a catch between the quarterback and the wide receiver, the defensive player will directly knock the wide receiver to the ground on the spot, forming a dead ball and ending the offense; but if it is a kickoff or punt return, because the returner needs If you look up at the sky for a long time and prepare to catch the ball, you are completely defenseless. Once the defensive player collides with you, the possibility of injury is very high. Therefore, in order to protect the returner, the rules are slightly different.
The returner can choose to "give up the return" and only needs to make a safe catch signal. When the returner makes a safe catch gesture and the defensive player still performs the collision, he will be severely punished; conversely, when the returner chooses to safely catch the ball but still launches a return attack, then the return attack The number of yards does not count.
It is precisely because of this that the special teams players of the Carolina Panthers never immediately intercepted the return attack. They took it for granted that Marcus was trapped in a dragnet. Not only were there defensive players on the left and right around him, but there were also defensive players directly in front of him. Four players double-teamed him, and there was no possibility of escape. Choosing to receive the ball safely was the wisest decision.
But this little bit of taking it for granted has become Marcus’s breakthrough gap!
A stop! A right pull!
Marcus immediately shook off the tackle, and rushed towards the right side with slumped shoulders and knees, directly overturning his opponent like a bull, forcing the defensive players on this side to step back continuously, and finally threw one in embarrassment. With all four feet in the air, Marcus' lateral breakthrough channel appeared.
Sprint!
Sprint!
Sprint with all your strength!
Sprinting horizontally in a straight line from the middle of the right wing of the court, Marcus released his speed and power bit by bit. From the corner of his vision, he could see two black jerseys running side by side with him, but their explosive power was Far from being comparable to Marcus
As a running back, speed is not Marcus's strength, but it is not necessarily Marcus's weakness. The advantage is his short-range explosive ability within twenty yards; what's more, what Marcus is facing now is not the starting lineup. The main defensive players are the players of the special team. The reason why the special team is a special team is that they are not strong enough to serve as the main force of the offensive team or the defensive team. Most of them are substitutes. The difference is not big but it exists objectively.
Now, Marcus is using his absolute strength to form a breakthrough.
Ten yards. accelerate.
Twenty yards. Run wildly.
Thirty yards. One ride to the extreme.
Running nearly 30 yards from one side of the court to the other side, Marcus fully demonstrated his short-range explosive power, and then left two people who were following suit behind him, just like running a 100-meter race, Marcus Si stood out instantly and created a lead of at least five yards, which was very, very impressive.
At this time, Marcus turned to the left, changed direction towards the opponent's half, and officially started to attack back. He made full use of the lead created previously and quickly ran through the corner.
Seeing that a black jersey was about to come out of the corner and hit Marcus, Marcus accelerated his pace. At the critical moment, another white jersey appeared, and accurately knocked away the black whirlwind. Kusi's footsteps kicked the ground continuously, and then he left the black shadow behind.
Forward. Rush forward in a straight line. A true 100-meter sprint.
Marcus has entered a running mode at a constant speed, and his extremely heavy running posture continues to form breakthroughs, and then he enters a player-intensive area:
White and black are completely intertwined, all on Marcus' left side: the black shadow continues to try to extend its claws towards Marcus, while the white light persists in intercepting and blocking, intersecting with each other. The intertwined collisions created turbulent waves, which seemed likely to swallow Marcus at any time.
But Marcus was unmoved and continued to run unswervingly. He had completely entered an anaerobic state. Even though his chest had begun to burn, he still gritted his teeth and ran selflessly, his bloodshot eyes bursting out. With an iron-blooded and tough momentum, they collided in an all-out manner. Any obstacle blocking the front will be completely crushed to pieces. The indomitable momentum made all the audience excited.
