"10:19", this was the first half score of the 2013 National League Finals. After the halftime adjustment time, the San Francisco 49ers took the lead in attacking in the second half.
The two warring parties are on the stage again. The atmosphere of the Seattle Seahawks is obviously more focused and tense, while the San Francisco 49ers have not relaxed at all, truly showing the unrelenting atmosphere between the rivals in the same district. What's more, this is still competing for Super Bowl tickets. In the National League finals, we cannot take it lightly!
Lu Ke stood in the pocket protection and carefully observed the position of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team. He knew that Pete Carroll would definitely make adjustments during the halftime break. If he continued to follow the tactics of the first half in the second half, it might be okay. It works, but efficiency will inevitably decline and he will need to make adjustments.
Judging from the entire defensive formation position, the Seattle Seahawks have returned to "normal", which is the pattern of the fourteenth week of the regular season:
The four defensive linemen are centered up front, and the three linebackers are also centered but three to five yards behind. The two cornerbacks are positioned on the outside of the wings and their parallel positions are basically in the empty space between the defensive linemen and linebackers. Finally, the two safety guards both retreated to a distance of ten yards and maintained mobility in their positions.
This is the textbook basic formation of the "4-3" defense, just like a template used to explain the names and functions of each defensive position to a lay audience, but it is also the basic formation that the Seattle Seahawks have swept the league this season, fully integrating Individual abilities are combined with the overall formation.
The direct difference from the first half is that Cam Chancellor's position is deeper.
Previously, Chancellor's position was completely high. In defense, he could be seen in every corner of the court, contributing a lot to short pass defense and ground defense. The most important thing is that Chancellor was always guarding Lu Ke. Wait for every move to connect the defense together like an entire hub.
Now, Chancellor retreats, and the main defensive coverage area has evolved into mid-pass and long-pass. Of course, there is no problem in covering up the short-pass area.
On the one hand, it was because Lu Ke formulated tactics around Chancellor in the first half, which consumed a lot of Chancellor's energy; on the other hand, it was because Lu Ke disrupted the rhythm by continuously making quick short passes, and hit three sneak attacks. Passes were passed, and all of them were successful, which caused obvious problems in the pass defense of the Blast Legion, which is absolutely not allowed. Simply put, the Seattle Seahawks were unhappy with their defensive approach in the first half.
After Chancellor retreated, the Legion's pass defense once again returned to its usual route: Sherman, Maxwell and Thomas formed an encirclement at three points on both sides and at the bottom, and then Chancellor was in the middle. He plays guerrillas everywhere in the urn, which increases the intensity of the entire pass defense.
At the same time, the entire defensive hub has shifted from Chancellor to inside linebacker Wagner - also called middle linebacker because the Seattle Seahawks adopt a three-linebacker formation.
Of course, Wagner is also an excellent defensive player. He is proficient in pressing, tackling, covering up, etc., but his interception ability is slightly weaker. However, compared to Chancellor, Wagner's coverage is not as broad. It is more centered around my midfielder in the short passing area.
In other words, again, the Seattle Seahawks have returned to the familiar routine of the regular season. The seven players in the frontcourt and the four players in the backcourt form two relatively independent systems, and at the same time they cleverly echo each other. Although they lack dazzling changes, they are able to use their respective strengths, complete defensive tasks, and give full play to the personal abilities of the Seattle Seahawks players.
This season, the Seattle Seahawks rely on this set of defensive tactics to dominate the league - they remain unchanged in response to changes, and it doesn't matter if their opponents see through them at the tactical level. In the end, they can always restrain their opponents with their absolute strength.
Facing the San Francisco 49ers, Carroll also knew that Lu Ke and Hubble were difficult to deal with. He adopted such tactics in the fourteenth week of the regular season. Although he persisted until the end, he also contained Lu Ke - at least he did not lose a big score again. But in the final analysis, he still failed to defeat Lu Ke, and the method was really wrong. Therefore, he tried to make some changes in the first half, and the changes also achieved good results. Unfortunately, a mistake put the team into trouble, and then Coupled with problems such as Lu Ke's layout and Chancellor's physical strength, they had to return to their best formation in the second half.
Of course, returning to familiar routines does not mean that the Seattle Seahawks are at a disadvantage. In fact, after returning to familiar routines, the Bomb Legion can still burst out with more energy, just like the fourteenth week of the regular season. Same, now Lu Ke's passing must be more calculated.
After the opening, Lu Ke encountered a small challenge.
On the first ten yards, the football was handed over to Frank Gall and he chose to attack on the ground, but the Seattle Seahawks stepped up very quickly and only allowed Gall to advance two yards before ending the offense.
In the second gear and eight yards, Lu Ke passed the judgment of the defensive team with a fake running pass and found a passing gap. However, he tried to connect with Crabtree's pass, but Maxwell blocked Crabtree. The positioning forced Lu Ke to raise the parabola higher, and as a result, it would pass Crabtree's fingertips.
After the pass was not completed, it came to the third gear and eight yards.
This is the ability of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team. After returning to the familiar defensive mode, it is obvious that they are more comfortable:
The defensive front line focuses on applying pressure and focuses more on ground defense; the defensive second line focuses all its attention on passing the offensive line; in addition, if it is a short pass, the pass is allowed to be successful, and then other defensive players will be in time Make up defense. Because the defensive tasks were clear and clear, the concentration increased, and the intensity and intensity also increased. Coupled with the already extremely tough personal abilities, the best defensive team in history once again showed its power.
Relatively speaking, if Lu Ke wants to find loopholes, the difficulty level will increase.
After halftime, the top seed in the National League showed off its strength. From a purely strength perspective, the Seattle Seahawks do have a slight advantage. Otherwise, various predictions before the game would not be overwhelmingly optimistic that the Seattle Seahawks would win. .
In the third long yardage, Lu Ke calmed down.
Because it was the third long yardage, the Seattle Seahawks were like vultures that smelled the stench of a rotting corpse, and began to move, but their changes were based on the original framework:
There are no obvious changes in other positions, except that the three linebackers all moved their positions forward, the two outside linebackers simply stood in the same row as the defensive front, and the inside linebacker Wagner also took a big step forward and stood on the defensive front. One step behind them, this is also the change they are most familiar with——
In third gear or at critical moments, they only need to rotate linebackers, change tactics in an instant, and suddenly attack and sack the quarterback.
The linebacker combination on the field at this time is Irvin, Wright and Wagner. In fact, it is a partnership that is better at frontline pressure and sudden pass rush. If Malcolm Smith and Heath Farewell are rotated, , then the short pass defensive ability will be relatively more prominent.
Now the Seattle Seahawks defensive team is clearly ready to attack. So, how should Lu Ke respond?
"attack!"
Setting up a multi-line offensive formation, Lu Ke strutted back and began to retreat. The entire retreat was very fast. He completely opened the distance with three consecutive long strides. However, he did not expect that the Seattle Seahawks were simply a smoke bomb. The guards took a step forward and assumed a surprise attack stance, but actually stayed in place, completely covering the short passing area. They only used four people to rush the pass and successfully defeated Lu Ke.
But this is not a surprise.
After Lu Ke quickly stepped back to distance himself, he paused and glanced quickly, using his eyes to check the judgment of the defensive player. However, in the time gap of taking a breath, the passing target had already been torn out of position, and then he Without any hesitation, he picked up the knife and teleported the rugby ball.
The entire right wing is stocked with three players, Ted Ginn, Logan Newman and Anquan Boldin, who comes on the rotation, plus Garrett Selleck, who guards the other side alone, the San Francisco 49ers' The receiving lineup also changed and adjustments were made quietly, and Lu Ke's passing eyes were obviously looking to the right.
With the kick-off slogan, Logan, who was standing in the middle of the trident, was the first to start. He cut slightly inside and started sprinting towards the deep area along the outside of the slot track with all his strength.
Both Jean and Boldin started half a beat slower. Jean on the inside ran towards the outside, and Boldin on the outside pulled towards the inside. The two people met five yards away, but there was no crossover. , but stopped and started to turn around to prepare to catch the ball, which also forced the players defending them to gather together. The four players piled up in a bustling ball, but it was impossible to tell who was playing against whom.
Then Logan, wandering alone on the edge of the central zone, became particularly conspicuous.
Richard Sherman followed. He got rid of the entangled area of the four players and followed Logan step by step. However, Logan made a judgment in advance and ran before Sherman took the position. It made a parabolic curve, crossed the slot, and cut directly into the central area.
Because of the sudden incident, Sherman and Logan's running rhythms were slightly staggered, with only a pause space of about a quarter to half a beat. This also allowed Logan to successfully win a gap of about half a yard to a yard. The space for receiving the ball is just this little space, and Lu Ke's bullet pass has been delivered.
The knife falls from the hand!
During the horizontal pull, Logan turned his back to Sherman and faced Lu Ke. He raised his hands and caught the football above his chest. Before he could regain his footing, he subconsciously pushed it back. With one step, he directly collided with Sherman's tackle, and a dull sound erupted from the strong collision.
