A familiar situation appeared again: the offensive side completed a large number of yards across the entire field, and then encountered strong resistance from the defensive side. In an instant, it once again fell into the crisis of strikeout, and saw that the touchdown opportunity was about to become arbitrary. Ball try.
Now, nine yards on third down, how should the San Francisco 49ers handle this situation?
Lu Ke did not kick off the ball immediately, but let his thoughts calm down for a moment. Hubble's urgent voice came from the earphones, and he was arranging offensive tactics, but his mind was recalling the process of the two attacks just now:
In the first gear, it can be regarded as an accident, but the forward protection failed to match the rhythm, which is still a fundamental problem; in the second gear, the passing tactic was seen through, and in the predicament, Lu Ke's retreat step did not break up in advance, and the pass was The function of the ball route layout is not able to play its role.
So, knowing that the opponent's defensive intensity and rhythm have increased, how should he open up the situation?
Lu Ke and Hubble completed a quick and brief exchange. The two people were thinking on the same channel, but Lu Ke's idea was more complicated. There was no time for hesitation and hesitation. Hubble agreed to Lu Ke's tactics on the spot. Change, and then the San Francisco 49ers quickly completed the formation.
Defensive read! Defensive read! Defensive read!
Although the countdown to kick-off time was already very tight, Lu Ke forced himself to calm down and quickly completed the defensive read with a sweeping glance.
The Seattle Seahawks still insist on their own style of play, but after entering the frontier range of the red zone, the defensive team has more initiative and changes, which also allows the second-line defense to show more mobility. Those detailed changes will ultimately be based on It remains unchanged and adapts to all changes, without too many flaws.
"attack!"
The San Francisco 49ers set up a multi-line attack, with three offensive players on the left and Logan Newman on the right guarding alone, and then Lu Ke directly announced the kickoff.
In an instant, the Seattle Seahawks repeated their old tricks again, applying huge pressure with five-man pass rushers. But this time, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line made changes. The entire front line moved laterally toward the left side, not a simple horizontal movement. , but entangles and relies on the defensive players to move together.
At this time, there are obvious differences in the interpretation of the formations caused by the different positions of the linebackers and safety guards:
Chancellor immediately noticed the turmoil on his right wing - Gene burst out with speed, surpassed Malcolm's defense at absolute speed, and cut into the red zone in an instant; Vernon and Boldin were both in The short passing area was stretched, and the route cooperation and pick-and-roll had created a gap. Chancellor had to join Maxwell and Malcolm in defense, while Thomas kept up with Gene.
Wagner noticed the actions of Lu Ke and Marcus - Lu Ke took a quick step back, turned around and handed the football to Marcus, and Marcus completed the ground advancement. Marcus watched as he Pulling horizontally towards the right side of Seattle and the left side of San Francisco, this is a classic ground attack formation, using one side of the multi-line attack to complete the cover, and then finding a breakthrough on the ground.
Wagner quickly glanced back. Chancellor and Thomas had begun to be forced to move back. The alarm bell in his mind had completely sounded. Their footsteps followed Marcus's movement direction and began to move sideways. .
The entire formation collectively surged to one side, which also forced the Seattle Seahawks to react. Even Sherman and Wright, who were guarding Seattle's left side, were forced to start moving - because Logan did not start his steps at all. Instead, they followed the offensive line and pushed in the same direction. This also left Sherman and Wright without a defensive target. They moved with the large force, waiting for opportunities to find positions to cover the defense.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
As a cornerback, Sherman never completely took his eyes off Lu Ke. He had to be on guard. Then he noticed that after Lu Ke separated from Marcus, he began to move laterally in the opposite direction of the entire army. Xie Mann reacted immediately——
Fake running and real passing!
The cunning and cunning Lu Ke demonstrated a real ground attack posture by using fake handoffs, as well as fake offensive line movements and the pulling of the receiving players, and then created a complete chaos on the right side of San Francisco and the left side of Seattle. of no man's land.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Sherman noticed Lu Ke's movements, and then Wright and Chancellor also noticed Lu Ke's movements. In addition... Thomas noticed Gene's running route——
After crossing the slot, Gene began to pull towards the center. Although Thomas had already stuck his position, Gene's speed had completely exploded. This also made Thomas dare not pull Gene or collide with Gene, otherwise he would It might cause a pass interference foul, so he had to rush forward with all his strength along with Gene, and then Gene rushed towards the slot on the other side. Is this preparing to receive Lu Ke's pass?
At this time, Gene and Thomas' footsteps had already entered the end zone, which made all the hairs on Thomas' body stand on end. He realized that this was an absolutely dangerous situation, and he could not be distracted at all. If he was a little careless, Lu Ke and Gene The connection is about to be completed and it is a touchdown.
Although the Seattle Seahawks defense continued to exert pressure, this time the San Francisco 49ers took the lead and created an advantage. Now the defense has been led by the nose.
Alarm bells ringing!
But the Seattle Seahawks defensive team still showed its strong ability. The defensive end Michael Bennett, who came on the rotation, was chasing Lu Ke with all his strength. Bennett, who was caught in the front line entanglement, noticed Lu Ke immediately. With the transfer, he quickly shook off the entanglement between Anthony and Boone, and chased Lu Ke with all his strength.
As an undrafted player in 2009, Bennett once played against Lu Ke as a player of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2011 season. At that time, he was just a substitute rotation player, but he was not able to gain any advantage in that game. The game was a disaster; but three years later, Bennett returned to the Seattle Seahawks, where he joined during his rookie season, and gradually grew into the team's most trusted third-speed pass rusher, with his pass-rushing and sacking abilities. It can often become a trump card, and he is also looking forward to the day when he can capture Lu Ke and prove himself.
Now, the opportunity has come.
Bennett accelerated with all his strength and sprinted toward Lu Ke without thinking. However, his bulky body of 274 pounds (124 kilograms) could not help. In his sight, he could see Lu Ke's light and agile steps, calmly moving horizontally. Cross-stepping, Bennett increased his speed to the extreme and quickly shortened the distance.
Close!
Closer!
Then, Lu Ke sent the football out in an understated manner. The entire movement was light and gentle without any challenge. He seemed to have calculated Bennett's step forward, and tried to attract all the firepower towards him as much as possible, and then No more rushing to deliver the rugby ball.
Bennett wanted to curse.
But Bennett was helpless. He could only bypass Lu Ke and rush forward to see who Lu Ke passed the ball to? The problem is that he doesn't know who the passing target is on this side. So, how can he assist the defense? It made Bennett feel like a fool.
The passing target is - Logan Newman! It's actually Logan, not Gene!
Just as Thomas and Chancellor were both sprinting towards Gene, and even Sherman intercepted Gene, while Wright and Wagner were also sprinting at full strength, Logan appeared.
Logan, who always stood on the right side of the offensive line, quietly completed his step forward at some point, and rushed forward for about five yards, trying to keep himself out of the radar of the linebackers, and then When he noticed that Lu Ke started to raise his hand to pass the ball, he suddenly started to accelerate.
The instant acceleration allowed Logan's footsteps to easily rush three yards. In a blink of an eye, he crossed the first offensive conversion line and reached the five-yard line at the front of the end zone. Sherman was in front of him, and Wright and Wagner were behind him. Directly in front of him was Chancellor, but Logan stood in a trough surrounded by enemies, with light and steady steps. He faced Lu Ke, then put his hands on his chest, and Lu Ke's bullet pass followed. arrive.
"Whoosh!"
Logan caught the football firmly on his chest, without missing a beat, and without turning around, he caught Lu Ke's passing force and started to retreat, one step, and another! Kicking off the ground at full speed, Wright had already escaped the control of Lech and Wagner before he could react.
"boom!"
Logan hit a wall immediately. He knew that it must be Chancellor. He was mentally prepared in advance. With every pause and wrong step, Logan used the rebound force to complete the three hundred horizontal strokes. A sixty-degree turn, past Chancellor, and the end zone line was within easy reach.
Chancellor firmly grabbed Logan's waist and tried to complete the tackle at the front of the end zone; but Logan's backward collision was too solid and too fierce, and Chancellor was still unable to stabilize his center of gravity. He grabbed Logan's waist, but his footsteps couldn't take root and exerted force, and then he dragged Logan and started to retreat.
step!
The two of them fell into the end zone together. Chancellor even tried to take the football out of Logan's arms, still refusing to believe how they suddenly lost this touchdown in the midst of a strong confrontation. Woolen cloth? The judgment of the defensive team was once again biased. All reactions lagged behind the opponent's, and they were completely led by the nose. There was no chance of survival at all. The change of advantage was like a pirate ship, which was too exciting.
Chancellor was expressing his resentment and depression in this way, but Logan curled up and held the football tightly in his arms, and then the referee blew the whistle, high He raised his hands and officially gave the official confirmation:
Touchdown! success!
