The Denver Broncos, the top seed in the American League, vs. the San Francisco 49ers, the fifth seed in the National League.
When the Super Bowl matchup was officially announced, the anticipation and curiosity began to gradually increase, but it was obvious that this was not the Super Bowl matchup that was expected in the 2013 season.
If we follow the established route, the Denver Broncos, the top seed in the American League, and the Seattle Seahawks, the top seed in the National League, are the ultimate showdown that the entire league loves to see. The former has a unique offense, while the latter has a defense that sweeps away thousands of troops. Every offense and defense are perfect. In this environment, two teams that can occupy a place among the best in history start a head-to-head confrontation with Maimang. This is the most exciting way to end the entire season. I really can't think of a more perfect alternative.
However, the emergence of the San Francisco 49ers ruined this anticipated gathering of the two heroes, and the sounds of frustration can be heard both inside and outside the league.
It’s not that they don’t like the defending champion, but compared to the defending champion, the Huashan sword debate between the two top seeds is more representative and topical. The balance of the “contradiction war” makes every fan Can truly feel the essence of rugby -
Just like the National League finals, the back-and-forth game between the two sides perfectly matched the advantages and disadvantages of the two armies, and finally burst out an incredible chemical reaction. Putting aside the final score, the game of "San Francisco 49ers VS Seattle Seahawks" Quality can indeed rank among the top three in the 2013 season. This is one of the most important reasons why the San Francisco 49ers undoubtedly won the applause of the United States after the National League finals.
In addition, the broken expectations are also a reason. Everyone was looking forward to the meeting of the two top seeds in the American League and National League in the Super Bowl. After the Denver Broncos successfully advanced, the Seattle Seahawks missed the meeting, shattering the expectations that had been brewing for a long time. It was inevitable that they were disappointed.
Then, after a short period of disappointment, expectations and excitement slowly began to rise again - although we were not able to witness the annual "contradiction war" as expected, but... this was "Lu Ke VS Da Manning"!
After people gradually came back to their senses, emotions began to heat up slowly, climbing towards the boiling point bit by bit. Maybe they won't have the opportunity to see the tit-for-tat "Contradiction War" this season - at least they have already had a taste of it in the National League Finals , now you can witness the ultimate version of "Battle Battle" with your own eyes.
What's the best part of a football match?
attack!
attack!
Or attack!
The offense and defense of rugby are equally important. The balance between both sides is the key to victory. However, it is undeniable that, just like football, offense is also the most exciting and exciting part of rugby. When the offense reaches its extreme, the game becomes smooth and smooth. It’s just pure visual enjoyment. And now, they are about to witness a head-on showdown between the two top offensive teams in the league. How could they not be excited?
First, Lu Ke VS Peyton Manning!
One is a representative of a young quarterback who has risen strongly, and is no longer a simple rookie or rookie. Through three consecutive and efficient top performances for three seasons, this quarterback has proven that he can reach the top ranks in the league. He is even hailed as the fifth person outside the four elite quarterbacks - surpassing the "uncrowned king" Philip Rivers, reaching the first level in terms of strength, ability and condition.
A veteran quarterback representative who is the league's benchmark. Although he currently only has one Super Bowl ring, his stable and strong performance for more than fifteen years in his career proves that a top quarterback can change a team; injury After his comeback, he ranked among the top of the league for two consecutive seasons, proving that he is immortal and has always been in the championship competition. He has already booked a place in the Hall of Fame before retiring.
One was the regular season and Super Bowl MVP in the 2012 season, winning the double titles of passing yards and touchdowns; first-team All-American in the 2012 season and second-team All-American in the 2013 season; and in the 2012 season, he reached the top of the Super Bowl with a perfect undefeated record. bowl.
One was the regular season MVP in the 2013 season, winning for the fifth time in history, setting two records for passing yards and touchdowns in a single season; the second team All-American in the 2012 season and the first team All-American in the 2013 season; at the same time, he created An offensive team that ranks among the best in history.
It is no exaggeration to say that these are the two players with the best condition and the strongest strength among the thirty-two starting quarterbacks in the league in the past two seasons. Their strong strength and outstanding performance can be called a moment of excellence. ; Moreover, both players are traditional pocket quarterbacks, with many similarities from technology to tactics. Both have won the title of "tactical master" and are nightmares for the defensive team.
This is the ultimate showdown!
At any time, this will be a top duel that attracts all the attention of the league, especially watching the two sides compete in offensive tactics. It is definitely a brainstorming level of supreme enjoyment, just for the brain. As soon as I applied it, I couldn't help but start to tremble.
What's more, this showdown took place on the Super Bowl stage? Could things be any more perfect?
Interestingly, this is the first official confrontation between the two players in their careers!
The two quarterbacks belong to the American League and the National League respectively. According to the rules, they can have a chance to compete once every four years. However, in the past three seasons, the divisions of the two teams have not rotated yet, and there has never been a chance to officially compete. ——Next season, the American League West will face off against the National League West, and the two dead divisions will go head-to-head. This is the most anticipated division matchup of the 2014 season, bar none.
In fact, in the preseason last season, the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos played against each other once, but in that game, neither quarterback played for much time. They just walked across the field to complete a wave of offense, and then both left the field. , which also makes the game results of no reference value.
Prior to this, Lu Ke had played against all three other elite quarterbacks:
Against Tom Brady, one win and zero loss; against Aaron Rodgers, three wins and zero loss; against Drew Brees, two wins and one loss.
Until the regrettable loss to the New Orleans Saints in the tenth week of the regular season this season, Lu Ke maintained a record of winning five games against elite quarterbacks. Such a wonderful performance is truly amazing; the outsiders in this year's playoffs In the card game, Lu Ke and Rogers had another ups and downs battle. Lu Ke had the last laugh and successfully advanced to the divisional round. After that, Lu Ke entered full-fire mode and continuously crushed the league's top ranking. and a second-string defense that returned to the Super Bowl stage with an undisputed performance.
Now, it’s finally time to wait for Peyton Manning.
Since entering the league as an undrafted rookie, Lu Ke has never hidden his preferences: his favorite team is the Green Bay Packers, and his favorite quarterback is Peyton Manning - from Lu Ke's game You can see it in the style, and the influence from Manning is obvious.
This also means that Lu Ke will face his idol for the first time in his career. The significance and value of this game are absolutely extraordinary.
As early as the official press conference before the conference finals, the two veterans of the American League and the two players of the National League were asked about their views on each other.
At that time, Manning said of Lu Ke, "...he is very smart and very calm. He knows what he needs to do when he is on the court. At the same time, he also knows what he should do. It is difficult for you to believe him. I'm a junior. I mean, I've been in the league for so many years, but occasionally, I still get confused and confused and don't know what I'm doing."
"But I don't see a moment like that with him. He's a very good quarterback and a very elite player. On one hand, you're looking forward to playing him because it's going to be an incredible time. A tough challenge; but on the other hand, you don't want to play against him because he is very, very dangerous and you never know what's going to happen until the very end."
Both Manning and Brady are experienced. They can be said to be watertight when faced with reporters' questions, and they can hardly detect much effective content. Even now, Manning's approval can still be captured from the details of his words. With attention, this is already a very rare sight.
Similarly, Lu Ke responded in an interview, "...Haha, I will be very happy. Because standing in front of him means that we have entered the Super Bowl. I don't care about being unhappy, right?"
It was still Lu Ke's style of teasing, but it also made it impossible for reporters to refute.
"In addition, I am also looking forward to standing in front of him. I started watching his game videos a long time ago. He is a legend, a leader, and a fighter who can compete with It is an honor for me to play against him. I will try my best to devote myself to the game, go all out to defeat him, and express my inner admiration with my best performance. I hope we can dedicate a wonderful duel."
"Of course, in order to be able to stand in front of him, I need to ask Seattle for their opinion first, and I have a strong feeling that they will object."
The conclusion was still Lu Ke's style. After expressing his inner expectations and excitement at every turn, he returned his attention to the National League finals and did not want to get distracted.
Now, the conjecture has become a reality. Lu Ke and Manning both defeated their opponents and entered the Super Bowl stage. This showdown has arrived.
So, standing opposite Manning, what kind of performance will Lu Ke give?
From all aspects, this game is worth looking forward to, and may even be the most anticipated and most noteworthy matchup in these two seasons.
Although it is a pity that I missed the peak showdown of "Denver Broncos VS Seattle Seahawks", but now we have the peak showdown of "Manning VS Lu Ke", it can be said that something was lost and something was gained; not to mention, this is the "Denver Broncos" VS San Francisco 49ers", the best offensive team in two seasons!
Definitely not to be missed!
