"Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!"
The cheers and shouts of the nine people were raging inside the Bank of America Stadium. They did not shy away from rubbing salt into the wounds of their mortal enemies. They started a celebration party at the door of their opponents' homes. There was no mercy. Facing 70,000 home fans, a mere 3,000 away fans are becoming the protagonists.
Navolo Bowman showed no mercy. After standing up again, he walked into the end zone, and then began to dance the indigenous Viking war dance, using rhythmic high-fives to initiate provocation.
Justin Smith joined in, Ahmed Brooks joined in, and one after another, other players on the defensive team also joined in, venting their excitement and excitement wantonly.
"When the team was at its most nervous and critical, Cam Newton did not step forward. He backed down. This was a heavy blow, even a fatal blow, to the Carolina Panthers. The players need their own The quarterback stepped up and the guys needed their quarterback to step up and Cam Newton let them down and that was definitely the turning point at the end of the game when he not only paused, he backed off!”
"Back off! He actually backed off!"
"This is inexcusable. Cam Newton is the quarterback, the captain of this team on the field, and if even the captain has abandoned ship, how are others supposed to hold on?"
"From a purely human perspective, it is understandable to retreat and be timid in the face of a crisis; but the problem is, he is not! He is the leader and soul of the entire team, and he is the core who should be at the forefront. , As a result, he failed to do it. The 2011 No. 1 pick came to Charlotte with countless praises and honors, but he failed to truly repay our support, not in terms of victory, but in terms of desire for victory! "
"This is a disaster, a complete disaster!"
The above remarks did not come from the studio, but from social networks. Such tendentious and offensive words are definitely not the style of analytical commentators. After watching the video replays again and again, the furious Carolina Panthers fans They finally couldn't hold it any longer and started to explode one after another.
Predictably, this storm has just begun.
However, the frenzy in the studio and on social networks is put aside for the time being. The game will continue. This is not a boxing match. You can choose to give up by throwing the white flag. Even if the situation is significantly behind, they must finish the game conscientiously until the referee Blow the final whistle.
Lu Ke led the offensive team to appear again and launched a red zone attack.
The first two offenses were slightly chaotic. The Carolina Panthers' defensive team seemed to have unleashed all their resentment and energy. Some of them were reckless and reckless. They created enough pressure on the defensive front and blocked it with a wall-to-wall defense. Gao Er, once opened the offensive line and sacked Lu Ke, instantly pushing the San Francisco 49ers into the third gear.
Surprisingly, in the third touchdown situation, Lu Ke chose a trick attack:
He held the ball and ran laterally to the left, assuming a posture of breaking through the line of scrimmage and running with the ball. Then he moved the football world diagonally to the right and found the running back who was holding his ground. Gower, Gower completed the ground attack; because Lu Ke had attracted most of the firepower, this gave Gower room to accelerate, successfully crossed the forward accumulation area, cut into the end zone, and scored another touchdown.
At this point, the game has completely lost its suspense. There are still two minutes and thirty-six seconds left before the end of the third quarter, but the score on the field has widened to "7:52". Even if a miracle comes, there is no way to catch up. , not to mention that the status of both parties is not at the same level at all.
The competition has basically been explained.
When the Carolina Panthers offensive team came on the field again, Cam seemed to finally wake up and passed the most outstanding pass in the game on the first offense: a 45-pointer. Super long pass! He instantly ripped open the San Francisco 49ers' defense and entered the opponent's half.
The shock and surprise can be clearly felt inside Bank of America Stadium. Obviously, no one expected this trend: Could the Carolina Panthers still bring some surprises after getting rid of their baggage? Don't expect to be able to make a comeback, or at least ignite some fighting power? Make the game exciting?
The fans who were leaving the field couldn't help but temporarily stopped and stood there to watch for a while, but the joy could not last long. When the third quarter was about to end with five seconds left, Cam announced the game's goal. The first interception——
Mistakes started from the defensive read, and the football was passed directly into the arms of safety Reid, as if this pass was originally intended to connect with Reid. It was stupid and ridiculous, and it made the Carolina Panthers miserable. The effort to easily attack around fifteen yards fell short.
This was the fourth ball possession transition created by the San Francisco 49ers defensive team in this game. They firmly grasped the initiative and completely made Cam lose his temper.
Then, the most interesting and shocking scene in NFL playoff history occurred:
The main quarterback put down his helmet, put on his jacket, put down his playbook, and sat on the sidelines chatting and laughing with his teammates; the backup quarterback warmed up and prepared to go on the field.
Not because of injuries or state fluctuations, but because...the lead is huge and the situation is dominant across the board. The main quarterback begins to conserve energy for the next game and avoid injuries, and the backup quarterback comes on to complete the remaining games. This situation seems somewhat familiar——
This was the case in the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 of the regular season, but the problem is, that was the regular season, and this is the playoffs! The playoffs where bayonets see red!
This... is really... I don't know how to describe it.
After the start of the second half, the San Francisco 49ers consciously rotated players. Starting from the offensive group, the substitute players' playing time increased significantly. At that time, people still thought that the visiting team was too arrogant and unnecessarily despised their opponents, and they were likely to have to pay a certain price; but now it seems that the San Francisco 49ers' rotation was undoubtedly wise, after going through the entire third quarter of the game. After adjusting and running in, the game in the fourth quarter gradually got on the right track.
Colin Kaepernick went into battle and led the offensive team.
After the try against the Carolina Panthers in the tenth week of the regular season, Kaepernick entered the state significantly faster. With the cooperation of his teammates, the offense was vigorous and powerful. Facing the leadership of Kickley, who was still gritting his teeth and persisting, The defensive team, the back and forth between the two sides was very lively.
Although the game has entered garbage time, the dedicated players are still completing the game, especially the substitute players' fighting/desire/desire is particularly strong, and the overall momentum is even more violent than when Lu Ke is on the court, which also makes With their cooperation and state strength slightly behind, they started a confrontation with the Carolina Panthers' defense, and the scene became more noisy and sensational.
This wave of offense finally ended with Akins coming on the scene to try a 46-yard free kick: he hit it.
The remaining game time was even more meaningless, and the Carolina Panthers' attempts were just scratching the surface and failed to blow the horn.
As far as the Carolina Panthers are concerned, Cam Newton is completely dejected, and the entire offensive strategy seems to be ridiculous. It seems to have returned to the state of last season, occasionally making big plays through his own read options. yardage, a brilliant performance that was enough to win a house, but was unable to make full use of the help of his teammates, which also made the offensive momentum intermittently unable to connect - and then he also threw a second interception.
As far as the San Francisco 49ers are concerned, after Kaepernick calmed down, he fully demonstrated his advantages as a running quarterback. The entire advancement seemed confident, and even his passing accuracy, which has always been criticized, also performed well. , facing the strong but demoralized Carolina Panthers defensive team, they were able to advance repeatedly and continue the visiting team's offensive momentum. The overall performance was even more impressive than Cam's.
If you watch the entire game, you will know that a thousand-mile dike was destroyed by an anthill. The San Francisco 49ers went all out from the first second of this divisional game, eroding the opponent's advantage inch by inch, bit by bit. He established his own advantages from the offensive team to the defensive team to the special team, and finally completely defeated the opponent, completing the crushing from the level of self-esteem and self-confidence. Even if most of the substitute players were rotated, such a confrontation could not be achieved. Change.
After entering garbage time, the Carolina Panthers seemed to have given up resistance and were just struggling randomly. The San Francisco 49ers were conscientiously spending the game time and completing the advancement step by step. The rounds of back-and-forth between the two sides began to increase, and the scene It was dazzling, but the excitement did not increase. Instead, it became deserted because the fans left the venue early.
On the other hand, the social network started to be lively early, with all kinds of jokes emerging in an endless stream, especially regarding the plot of Cam Newton retreating from the battle. Netizens gave full play to the wisdom of the crowd and turned on the group mocking mode, and the discussion easily exceeded Lu Ke made Cam the "biggest winner" of this game, which is also a rare and beautiful scenery.
At least, the name "Cam Newton" will become the most popular in the next few days. This can be regarded as...a gain?
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the final score was fixed at "7:58". The San Francisco 49ers, playing away from home, set a record for the largest point difference in the history of the league's divisional games, crushing their opponents in a sweeping manner. , nailed the Carolina Panthers to the pillar of shame. After the tenth week of the regular season, they humiliated this opponent again, won a strong victory, and reached the NFC finals for the third consecutive year!
