Complete defeat, disastrous defeat, rout!
The National League finals hadn't even begun yet, but Sherman had already lost his pants. Even the reporters were disgraced and didn't take any advantage. It was such a complete disaster that the press conference reappeared. There was a brief silence, awkward and awkward.
what to do? The opponent was too powerful, and all the provocations came to nothing, and they were thrown back violently. Unknowingly, their cheeks swelled up, and the counterattack made them almost unable to stand. So, how could they continue to attack? Continue?
The reporters paused for a moment and made a wise choice: the subsequent questions were significantly relaxed, and they gave up their risky attempt to continue to sow discord.
Anyway, even if there is no deliberate provocation, the two mortal enemies in the same district are already fighting on their own. They only need to watch the fight from a distance, so why bother to involve themselves?
"Bambi, there are rumors that Patrick Willis and Ted Ginn have returned from injury. Will they appear in the conference finals this week?"
Lu Ke's eyes paused slightly. He had already noticed that Jay did not attend today's press conference, but he still stayed focused and dealt with the attacks of the reporters in front of him wholeheartedly; but at this time, such an issue was raised again, and it was right in the middle of it. Red heart, Lu Ke's mood will inevitably fluctuate.
The reporter who asked the question couldn't help but feel a little in his heart: Isn't this a basic issue that all reporters are concerned about? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? Why is Lu Ke looking at him like this now? Will he be swallowed up in the next second?
Fortunately, Lu Ke only paused for a moment, and then replied, "We are still facing injuries. This is obviously not an easy task. Patrick and Ted are always fighting injuries. They We are also eager to return to the team and fight side by side, but we all need to remain patient and wait and see what will happen when the time comes."
I went around in circles, but it was all nonsense! "What I said means I didn't say it" series!
"So, are they going to start this week?"
"Be patient, remember? Please be patient." Lu Ke replied with the same sentence again. The reporter at the scene felt as if he was being treated like a kindergarten kid.
No matter what kind of attack, Lu Ke was always able to defuse it lightly and even launch a counterattack. When a press conference was over, Lu Ke left the press conference chatting and laughing happily, while the reporters were sweating profusely and looking pale. To be exhausted, this job is really not something ordinary people can do.
Only a few reporters noticed that Jay Fox did not appear at my press conference today, but they did not think much about it. After all, the work of reporters is also full of many variables.
The last question of the press conference still came from Harry. It seemed like an ordinary question but it contained a murderous intention. "Bambi, is the tradition of minimum consumption still there?"
On the fourteenth day of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks at home, but the "minimum consumption" that lasted for two seasons was finally interrupted. It can be clearly felt that the strength of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team has increased very rapidly. , even if the San Francisco 49ers can still defeat their opponents under the leadership of Lu Ke, it will not be as easy as the previous two seasons.
The current common view in the industry is that no matter what the outcome of the National League finals is, it is almost impossible for the San Francisco 49ers to want to spend the minimum amount.
Just look at the points scored and lost by the Seattle Seahawks defense this season and it’s clear:
The season averaged 14.6 points per game, including 13.75 points per game at home.
The highest loss of the season was in the away game against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, when they lost 34 points, and also suffered their first defeat of the season; the lowest loss of the season was in the away game against the New York Giants in Week 15, with no shutout.
There were as many as seven games in the season in which the points were lost within ten points or less; there were only six games in the season in which the points were lost by more than 20 points or more, including two full 20-point games and two overtime games. time game; there is only one game in the season where the team lost more than 30 points.
So, do you still remember what the "minimum cost" of the San Francisco 49ers is?
Thirty-five points!
The data gives the answer in the most straightforward and clear way: throughout the entire season, even in the worst and most depressing game, the Seattle Seahawks never lost 35 points.
The closest game was the "34:28" loss to the Indianapolis Colts on the road, but the 34 points still failed to meet the "minimum consumption" standard; further, sitting at Century Chain Stadium Among the home games, the game with the most points lost was in the ninth week of the regular season, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After overtime, they defeated the opponent "27:24".
By the way, the Seattle Seahawks have conceded more than 20 points in six games throughout the season. In addition to the San Francisco 49ers, the other five opponents were the Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts.
What's the common denominator?
The Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Minnesota Vikings are all teams that have plummeted this season. Even the Arizona Cardinals were teams that suffered a comprehensive downturn and collapsed last season. This also means that the Seattle Seahawks They relaxed the rotation, or underestimated their opponents and did not pay enough attention, which resulted in losing more than 20 points. However, at the critical moment of the game, they improved their status again, and in the end they had the last laugh in all four games.
Listing the data only illustrates one problem: "minimum consumption" should be impossible. At least this season, the San Francisco 49ers have little hope of winning 35 points from their opponents, especially when facing a bombardment. The difficulty of destroying the Legion is unusually high. On the one hand, it is the overall rise of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team, and on the other hand, the continuous injuries of the San Francisco 49ers offensive team. This is also doomed to a result, and the "minimum consumption" may really has become history.
Harry Wayans chose to ask the classic question of "minimum consumption" at the end of the press conference. Obviously, it was not to remember the past, but to provoke a war. No matter what answer Lu Ke gave, it would be yes or no. Regardless of whether they deny it or not, in the end reporters will certainly be able to have a lot of discussions around this topic and give more previews of this game. It is foreseeable that both teams will be full of more energy.
Faced with Harry's cunning and insidious attack, how did Lu Ke respond?
"Minimum consumption? Why-not?" This was Lu Ke's answer. Two simple words, with strong confidence and pride, gave the opponent a hard blow in an understatement, full of domineering The gesture made people look at him, and then Lu Ke nodded with a smile and ended the press conference.
In this pioneering battle of the official news day: the San Francisco 49ers won! In other words, Lu Ke alone withstood the encirclement and suppression of the Seattle Seahawks and all reporters and escaped unscathed. This ability is really astonishing.
Whether it's Sherman and Russell losing their minds or Lu Ke's chatting and laughing, what is certain is that the tit-for-tat rivalry between the two teams is permeating the air, and sparks are already flying before the game even starts. , even more intense and exciting than the online scolding battle between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers in the divisional round, easily creating a new wave of heated discussion.
Immediately after the interview, the social network was in chaos, and the shockwaves within the two teams also exploded violently. Before the game day, this war of words will obviously not end easily, and the Internet has become the next battlefield. , no one can stop Sherman from going all out on his Twitter account, and the scene is a bit scary; but the real focus of attention has been decided on the official press day, because the impact and shocking power are too great So aggressive that the subsequent Internet noise was just a sprinkling of water and tasteless.
However, industry analysts and commentators have begun to get busy. Regardless of the outcome of the "war of words", the real focus of the battle still needs to be determined by strength. Whether it is a mule or a horse can only be determined by standing on the field and strolling around. Knowing the result, all the fuss before the game can only be regarded as an appetizer.
Unexpectedly but reasonably, the Seattle Seahawks have become the generally optimistic side.
Although the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in the fourteenth week of the regular season, and although the San Francisco 49ers swept the Carolina Panthers in the divisional round, although there are many factors that affect the outcome of a game, when it comes to hard power, In terms of overall strength, the Seattle Seahawks still have the upper hand. Among the ten analysts and commentators of ESPN's "Within the League", seven chose the Seattle Seahawks, while the San Francisco 49ers only received three votes.
This was an overwhelming choice.
If the choice of "within the league" can only be regarded as the self-inference of the analysis commentators, subjective consciousness has the upper hand, and the judgments and conclusions are only of reference value, then the bookmaker odds in Las Vegas are more intuitive and More objectively, it is enough to explain the strengths and weaknesses of this game:
The Seattle Seahawks win, the odds are "1:2.03".
The San Francisco 49ers win, and the odds are "1:8.33".
The contrast between the entire gap is very obvious, and it can be clearly seen that the attitude of the bookmakers is that they are not betting to lose money but to win money.
In addition, the odds on proposals such as overtime and winning by one touchdown are also very low and do not have much value. This also shows that bookmakers in Las Vegas are generally optimistic that the Seattle Seahawks will win by seven within regular time. To win within a score, they are not optimistic about the offensive firepower of the Seattle Seahawks. They believe that the Seattle Seahawks defense has the ability to dominate the game and it is likely to be a low-scoring game.
