"attack!"
Lu Ke's kickoff command flashed across the sky, and you could immediately feel the fierce air waves crashing towards you. You could clearly feel that the Seattle Seahawks' defensive frontline erupted with a tiger-like brutality descending down the mountain, ruthlessly attacking the ground like a bulldozer. Pushing the offensive line, they began to quickly shrink the encirclement.
This is the Seattle Seahawks' signature frontline pressure: not to tear open the pocket and sack the quarterback, but to create pocket pressure to force the quarterback to make mistakes, thereby creating more opportunities for their explosive team; but then they land. Ke immediately noticed an abnormality. Outside linebacker Wright and inside linebacker Wagner completed a cross-position swap. Wagner retreated to assist in short-pass area defense, while Wright stepped up and cut into the pocket, looking for opportunities to sack the quarterback.
Done!
The first reaction in Lu Ke's mind was not nervousness or panic, but joy. He tried every means to break the inherent framework of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team, and now he finally succeeded in achieving his wish for the first time. Facing a ten-yard situation, the Seattle Seahawks The defensive team also chose to rush the pass with five players!
This means that Carroll also smelled the crisis. After making consecutive mistakes and creating chaos, he immediately changed his defensive tactics and went all out to create a threat!
Just in time!
Lu Ke continued to retreat with the ball in both hands. His methodical retreat maintained a sufficient safe distance. The distance from the offensive line was widened from four yards to eight yards. Even if the entire pocket was in danger, he was still able to create time for his passing; at the same time, , Gall did not move out of the slot as expected, but filled the vacancy on the offensive line——
Firstly, Wagner's step-back defense was cleared, and he had no offensive players to form a matchup; secondly, Wright's step-up was met by Gall.
Such a "coincidence" is not the information captured by the defensive reading before this attack, but the tactical layout from the beginning until now has finally taken effect. The trend of the entire game, one after another, finally entered Lu Ke's direction. The rhythm also made Lu Ke's attention more focused.
According to the tactical arrangement, this should be a short passing attack. Logan, Crabtree and Vernon are all in the short passing area. Two tight ends and a large wide receiver create a confrontation advantage through their body size advantages, and then Crossing routes to create a hoard of power in the middle forces Chancellor to lose sight of one thing.
To put it simply, remain consistent with the previous offensive tactics:
The main running route of the receiving player is concentrated in the central area, using the numerical advantage to create chaos and contain Chancellor. At the same time, Lu Ke also targets Chancellor and makes passing choices based on Chancellor's on-the-spot reaction. Mobilize Chancellor and break the initiative of the Seattle Seahawks defense.
Of course, the premise is that Lu Ke's pass must be in place, otherwise Sherman, Maxwell and other players will continuously complete the defense, then the tactic of mobilizing Chancellor will be a mirage and cannot be implemented at all. But so far, Lu Ke's tactical execution is still very good.
Now, the situation has changed: Wright stepped forward to rush the pass, Wagner was left out, and Chancellor was still observing Luke's tactical choices without acting rashly. This also means that the four players of the San Francisco 49ers have formed a team. Here's the opportunity to face off and tear through the legion's defense!
This is Lu Ke's real tactical goal: to force the Seattle Seahawks defensive front to step forward, then he will have a head-on confrontation with the Legion of Boom; and if the Seattle Seahawks defensive players choose to retreat, then he will shift the focus of the attack forward again. , like pulling a puppet, constantly disrupting the layout of the Seattle Seahawks defense, looking for weak spots in the chaos.
This is the perfect model conceived in the mind. During the actual game, the Seattle Seahawks will naturally not let it go. Their strong strength can often break the deadlock. For example, now, either the front line uses collective strength to sack Lu Ke, or the second line intercepts Lu Ke or destroys passes through individual duels, which can break Lu Ke's tactical layout.
The Seattle Seahawks finally made changes according to Lu Ke's expectations, but can Lu Ke implement them to the end?
During the retreat, Lu Ke's peripheral vision quickly captured the confrontation between Gower and Wright. Gower blocked the gap between Anthony Davis and Alex Boone in time and got stuck. With Wright's sudden step forward, he could at least buy one to two seconds for Lu Ke, which was enough!
Without any hesitation, Lu Ke's eyes swept towards the far-reaching area, looking for Jean's figure - changing the established tactics on the spot. Now the only player leaving the short passing area was Jean. He needed to find a player with Jean. After connecting the position and adjusting his steps, Lu Ke saw Jean who was leaning out to the left.
Irvin was guarding Gene, but his attention was slightly distracted, mainly because the two tight ends, Logan and Vernon, were converging towards the center, including Crabtree who was also coming from the outside. Outflanking towards the middle, this also makes the entire central area noisy and crowded.
Chancellor, who was facing off against Vernon, did not move - still staring at Lu Ke's move, which made Vernon's inside cut very easy. Wagner had already taken the initiative to move forward, but the distance was still a little short after all, and there was no way to score in the first place. Time stuck to Vernon's position, which also made Irwin distracted:
The Seattle Seahawks' defensive strategy is to allow the ball to be completed and not to continue to advance after the ball is received, so it doesn't matter if Vernon forms a gap and completes the ball, it is within five yards anyway, but if Lu Ke and Vernon After completing the connection, the defensive players must fall down layer by layer like a gate, cutting off all Vernon's advancement space.
Irvin must now make a judgment on Lu Ke's and Vernon's actions; even so, the position between Irwin and Gene has not completely widened, and the two people still maintain a distance of about one step, and follow each other step by step. Forming a defense, once Lu Ke passes the ball towards Gene, Irvin can also complete the defense immediately - this is why Irvin needs to observe Lu Ke.
Lu Ke is observing Irwin.
Irwin is also observing Lu Ke.
Lu Ke keenly captured the confrontation between Irving and the short passing area. He held the ball with both hands, raised the football to a position near his chest, made a small adjustment with his feet, and looked toward the center. Vernon in the zone shot over, and then Vernon made a stop and catch the ball.
This fleeting action successfully caused changes in both the offensive and defensive teams.
Lu Ke didn't hesitate at all. He once again made an adjustment with his steps towards the back. He stepped lightly and raised his hand to pass the ball. The entire passing movement didn't seem to require too much cumbersome energy accumulation, but relied on the strength of his forearm and wrist to make the shot. It was thrown out instantly, with more momentum attached to the football, and it was thrown out instantly.
The rugby ball spun in the air at high speed, drawing a stunning arc——
Obviously, this is not a short pass, but a mid-pass of about fifteen or sixteen yards. It easily crosses the short passing area where players from both sides gather, and spins and pushes it diagonally forward on the left, passing the ball. The target is obviously Ted Ginn.
Irwin's thoughts paused for a moment, and he immediately turned his head. Then he saw Gene's speed suddenly burst out, and he immediately opened a step away, leaving him behind. He quickly flew towards Gene. , raising his hands while accelerating. Although Gene slowed down to adjust his pace in order to complete the ball, Irvin still slowed down a half beat, and just watched Gene raise his hands to catch the football behind his shoulders. !
Gene was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would become the target of the pass. However, he was always ready. He accelerated half a beat ahead of Irving, then opened a gap and ran towards the landing point of the rugby ball. passed. Because the tactics were changed in a hurry, Lu Ke was not too greedy in passing the ball. He only needed a 15-yard shadow pass behind the shoulder. Gene even had time to adjust his steps and easily put the football into his hands. middle.
As soon as his hands caught the football, Irwin had already swooped over, hugged Gene's neck and shoulders with his hands from behind, and used his entire body weight to press down.
Because the power was too strong and too fierce, the football in Gene's hand began to be impacted. His left hand was out of control, and he only relied on his right hand to hold the ball with one hand; but Gene did not relax, gritting his teeth and exploding all his strength. He came out, grabbed the football with his right hand, and pressed it towards his chest to protect the football in the chaos.
Then, Irvin dragged Gene directly to the ground, finally avoiding another disaster caused by this pass, but in the end he still failed to destroy the ball, which made Irvin unable to suppress his anger.
"You trash!" After standing up again, Irvin started throwing trash talk at Gene.
Gene didn't show any signs of weakness. He stood up and pushed his helmet against Irvin. He also cursed back, "You're weak!" Then he stared at Irvin with his eyes, and the strong smell of gunpowder seemed to be ready to erupt at any time.
Although the referee stepped forward in time to separate the two people and avoid a physical conflict, the smell of gunpowder on the scene was rising steadily, and both sides were already fighting with anger.
However, this is an excellent opportunity for Lu Ke: from changes in defensive tactics to an escalation of gunpowder, all this means that the chaotic situation he expected has been formed. "Kill you while you are sick", and now it is time to speed up everything. At the best time, he completed the formation without any hesitation——
There was no discussion, just relying on their own slogans to quickly complete the tactical layout, and then directly announced the kick-off.
As expected, the Seattle Seahawks defensive team returned to the original fixed defensive formation, but this had no impact on Lu Ke. Facing four people rushing the pass, Lu Ke only made two adjustments to step back. , and then completed the pass with a knife in hand.
It's a quick lineup and a quick kickoff... and a quick release!
