Irvin faced Boldin, charging forward in a straight line with all his strength, and exerting force at full speed along the outside of the slot. However, Irvin continued to squeeze Boldin's position with his body, leaving no room for Boldin to stop and adjust and turn around. He followed suit. The matchup was still in a stalemate, and Boldin, who had his back to Lu Ke, was unaware of the turmoil in his pocket.
Maxwell faced Vernon, running in a straight line that was 15 degrees offset from the central axis. Even when facing a tight end, Maxwell's body shape was not inferior at all, which also forced Vernon to make full use of his body. The shape advantage resisted Maxwell's entanglement, and the advancement speed was very slow.
Against Logan, Sherman cut inside with a left hand on a small diagonal line, crossed the slot and came to the center. The two people's running speed was basically the same. In the blink of an eye, they ran ten yards, just behind the outer edge of the slot on the other side. Boulding, but Sherman bypassed Logan in advance, blocking the connecting line between Lu Ke and Logan.
Wright faced Marcus, first going outside and then cutting inside. Marcus' running made a small arc, which contained Wright, but Wright kept enough distance and started first, which also made Marcus unable to To be able to get rid of Wright completely, the distance between the two people is only about half a step.
Chancellor faced Gene and rushed forward with all his strength, even faster than Boldin. Gene always maintained a state of full burst of speed. Marcus and Logan passed by Gene's running route. , creating a dazzling effect, trying to interfere with Chancellor's judgment, but...it failed. Chancellor waited until Gene was waiting for work, and then hit Gene hard from the front, destroying Gene's speed. , directly attached to each other, and the two people became entangled like a shadow, and neither party was able to get rid of each other immediately.
Thomas also adjusted his position slightly, entering the central area, watching Boldin, close to Gene, facing Logan, and ready to defend at any time.
No! No! No! still none!
All five receiving points were intercepted by the Seattle Seahawks. The division of labor was clear, the goals were accurate, and the matchups were precise. Most importantly, all the personal abilities of the blasting Legion were able to be used, even in one-on-one matches. Downwind - even Maxwell didn't lose his position right away.
If Vernon is given a little more time, he may be able to use a sudden stop and turn to run back and directly get rid of Maxwell and create a gap; but the problem now is that Lu Ke can no longer protect himself, and the entire Pocket protection is in jeopardy and could collapse at any time.
No, it has collapsed!
Inside linebacker Wagner and defensive end Clemons have already torn their pockets, unreasonably and fiercely flying towards Luke from both sides; defensive tackle McDaniel is also ready to come out, just like in the movie "Flash". "It's like a ferocious face that emerged from the door after splitting the door with an axe."
The offensive line, which was retreating steadily, was falling into pieces, and there were faint signs of total collapse. The dark blue figure swept towards Lu Ke like a hurricane. He had been forced to retreat more than ten yards after continuous retreats, but he still remained There was no way to gain any breathing space for myself.
The peripheral vision of his eyes quickly swept to both sides: There is no way out! The defensive ends on both sides were compressing the entire pocket to form an encirclement. Even if Lu Ke took the initiative to run out of the pocket, it would be a sheep in the tiger's mouth. He quickly retracted his gaze and hurriedly swept towards his front. The beast's instinct had already done it. Once the choice is made, the passing action is completed quickly before the brain makes a judgment.
The steps began to become chaotic during the continuous retreat, which forced Lu Ke to make a light jump, just like a backward shot, letting his feet slightly leave the ground, and then controlling his body balance in the air, with a He completed the pass in a relatively stable state, with no time to dwell on it. He quickly waved his forearm and used the power of his wrist to draw an arc at the moment of release, thus crossing the anxious area of the front line confrontation.
Both Wagner and Clemons noticed Lu Ke's action. Before they even had time to get close, Lu Ke had already raised his knife and landed on the ground to complete the pass. Both of them controlled their bodies to avoid collision—— Otherwise, with a yellow flag, they will directly give the opponent the first attack.
Defensive tackle Brandon Mayborn jumped up high, trying to intercept the football in the rising zone, but found that Lu Ke's parabolic control was very good, leaving no space at all. Even if he tried his best, there was no way at all. It was impossible to get close to, let alone touch, a rugby ball.
"Whoosh!"
The football spun at a high speed like a red line across the sky. After crossing the line of scrimmage, it began to fall rapidly. The target of the pass was...avoiding Logan, avoiding Boldin, and avoiding Gene. , and chose Marcus! Marcus has the shortest forward distance so far!
But even for Marcus, this was a 22-yard long pass - because of Lu Ke's continuous retreat, his footsteps were already standing about eleven yards behind the kickoff line, and Marcus Then it was about eleven yards in front of the line of scrimmage, which also lengthened the physical distance of the pass. It was supposed to be a short pass, but it turned into a long pass. For Lu Ke's passing accuracy under pressure Extremely high demands were made.
Because the distance between Wright and Marcus is only half a step.
…
Wright didn't know that Marcus was the passing target, and Marcus didn't know that he was the passing target. To be precise, before Lu Ke made the pass, no one could be sure who would be the final passing target. Just try your best to maintain a high concentration of attention while the route is moving.
Unlike the other four receiving players, Marcus' running route has an inherent advantage - he first moves outside and then cuts inside, creating a boomerang arc, which makes Marcus always stuck in the corner. On the inside, he can observe Lu Ke's condition at all times while running.
Marcus noticed Lu Ke's crisis immediately, also noticed Lu Ke's hasty shot, and made an instinctive reaction immediately - five offensive players faced off against five. There are only four defensive players in the Legion of Boom, with the only exception being... outside linebacker Wright!
Although Wright's personal ability is undoubtedly a strong player, compared to the Bombing Legion, his absolute strength is not ranked first in the league or in the Seattle team. More importantly, Wright is better at ground defense, not Pass defense, these are two different defensive skills.
All of this makes the matchup between Marcus and Wright the best choice among big gambles. What's more, Marcus also had the advantage.
Although Wright and Marcus formed a close confrontation, with only half a step difference, Marcus, who took the lead to seize the inside of the corner, was the dominant side, just like in a Formula One racing competition. Overtaking on the outside is undoubtedly difficult, but blocking the inside line in advance can create more cornering advantages, as is the case with Marcus and Wright now.
While running at a constant speed, Marcus was stuck in his position, forcing Wright to be on the outside lane. Then Marcus caught the pass, got ahead of Wright, and instantly accelerated with a step! Two strides! With just two big steps, Marcus's stride length and frequency increased, and he opened a slight distance again in an instant. Wright was already left behind, and then the football was teleported into place.
Marcus noticed the football, and Wright also noticed the football - Wright took off regardless of where he was, and rushed over with a diving movement, intercepting the football and Marcus in an attempt to destroy the pass. , this startled Marcus. He did not expect Wright's emergency response to be so timely and decisive. He also quickly stopped and stretched out his upper body, and took the initiative to face the football.
"Whoosh!"
"Snapped!"
The football's arc was slightly higher than expected, and it narrowly missed Wright's hand. Then Marcus stretched out his hands and accurately caught the football directly above Wright. That's it. A slight difference, but the place has been swapped between heaven and hell.
"Caught it! Marcus Lynch!"
People in the studio couldn't wait to scream, their hoarse voices had deformed, but Marcus remained absolutely calm!
Almost as soon as Marcus caught the football, Wright had already fallen to the ground, and his whole body rolled over in the direction of Marcus. The heavy pressure trapped Marcus's calf, and his knees were forced to bend. Coming down, he almost fell to his knees, but Marcus gritted his teeth and started to raise his legs. Even though his calf was suppressed and raising his legs had no effect, he still did not give up. .
one time!
One more time!
Again!
Continuous movements of raising his legs made Marcus' calf power explode. He successfully got rid of Wright and staggered forward. Although his center of gravity was a little shaken, as a running back, Marcus He controlled his body balance in just two steps.
His eyes quickly swept across!
Gene and Chancellor were entangled five yards diagonally in front of him on his right. Chancellor had just noticed this situation and was trying to get rid of Gene, but was stuck in position by Gene. This created a fight for Marcus. He lost precious time; and diagonally ahead on the left, Earl Thomas had stepped forward with all his strength, and the distance between the two people had shortened to three yards. It seemed that they might collide with each other at any time, which made Marcus instantly alert.
The forward steps paused and took a step laterally to the right, forcing Thomas, who was running at high speed, to move in the same direction, but Marcus used his right leg to make an emergency braking action. It was so hasty and so fierce that it overturned a large piece of turf on the lawn, dark gray dust flew up, and then Marcus pulled it horizontally to the left.
A simple shaking movement knocked Thomas directly to the ground, neutral!
