"Ho ho ho!"
"Ho ho ho!"
"Ho ho ho!"
The entire Metropolitan Stadium was filled with a roar like a jet flying over at low altitude, gradually heating up the temperature inside the stadium. The entire stadium could clearly feel the restlessness coming from within. But when it burst out in other places, even the harsh winter was blocked.
David Beckham was a little uncomfortable in the VIP box, not because of the occasion, but because of the unfamiliarity - he has attended countless top football decisive battles, including the Champions League final, World Cup final, European Cup final, etc. , those occasions are not inferior to today; but those are football, he can express his opinions freely, and even be an expert on the scene, but today is football.
Beckham had done his homework in advance, but he still felt unsure.
"So... do you often watch games? You are usually so busy filming that you definitely don't have much time. Do you also watch games on the set?"
Beckham took the initiative to try to strike up a conversation with Leonardo DiCaprio, and the entire VIP room was filled with guests. He had met Leonardo several times before, and they were not acquaintances but not strangers either. There is not so much baggage when getting up, which allows Beckham to relax a little.
Leonardo smiled and shook his head, "Oh, no, if I have the chance, I mostly watch basketball. Football is a hobby I only started trying last year, because of Bambi, his performance really made this sport look good. It’s very charming and I’m still in the initial learning stage.”
Beckham was secretly happy, and then he saw Leonardo cast a questioning look, and he waved his hand quickly, "My understanding of rugby is still in the introductory stage. In fact, I have only started watching rugby two months ago. That's it, it's also because of Bambi..." Then Beckham explained the interesting things that happened in the London Bowl, "I didn't expect that he actually created a miracle and made it to the Super Bowl again."
“Then you absolutely can’t miss it!”
"How could I have missed it?"
Leonardo and Beckham spoke one after another. This small tacit understanding made both of them smile, and their nervousness relaxed slightly; more importantly, they both knew Lu Ke, and they all came because of Lu Ke, this has become a common topic, which also means that if they can watch today's Super Bowl decisive battle together, they should be able to find a lot of resonance.
"Oh! The referee's whistle blew!"
Being in the Metropolitan Stadium, the temperature is still a little damp and cold, but it is much better than the training conditions of the previous few days.
The temperature at today's site should be around 49 degrees Fahrenheit (9 degrees Celsius), with a slight breeze, no rain or snow, and even the cloudy weather has eased a bit. After the thick clouds dispersed, you can vaguely see some stars emerging. , except for the slightly colder body temperature, the overall competition conditions were pretty good.
The "coldest Super Bowl in history" still didn't happen after all. This is really the best thing for the fans and audiences.
The Denver Broncos guessed the coin, and Peyton Manning chose to take the lead.
Lu Ke took a step forward and took the initiative to extend his right hand; Da Manning also held Lu Ke's right hand politely, but this time Lu Ke did not lose control of his excitement, but said calmly, "The side with the better performance wins." victory."
"The one with the better performance wins." Manning said in a deep voice. The two shook each other's right hands tightly, and then without saying anything else, they both released their right hands and turned around to return to their respective teams' camps.
Competition, the horn is officially sounded.
"Viewers, viewers, welcome to Fox TV. What you are watching now is Super Bowl XLVIII. The two sides are the AFC champion Denver Broncos and the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers. I am Teddy - Williams, my commentary partner is still the familiar Kirk Charleston, and Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, we are live broadcast commentary at the New York Mets Stadium."
"The Denver Broncos took the lead in attacking in this game. We will now introduce to the audience the starting lineup of the league's No. 1 offensive team this season."
“On the offensive line, Chris Clark, Zane Beadles, Manny Ramirez, Louis Vasquez and Orlando-Franklin.”
"Wide receivers Demaryus Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Welker, tight end Julius Thomas."
"Running back Knowshon Moreno, quarterback Peyton Manning."
"The slightly surprising choice is the starting running back. The main running back Ronnie Hillman (Ronnie Hillman) and the rookie running back Montee Ball (Montee Ball) failed to win the starting competition. Mo Leno is the starter, but what is certain is that this offensive team can also exert sufficient power in the hands of Peyton Manning. Now it depends on how much pressure the San Francisco 49ers defensive team can exert."
In the studio, Teddy and Kirk were skillfully completing the opening introduction quickly, but the introduction to the Denver Broncos offense had just ended, and the offense had already begun. The introduction to the San Francisco 49ers defense could only be temporarily put aside. Wait and then look for opportunities before jumping in.
"Ho ho ho!"
"Ho ho ho!"
All the fans were cheering tirelessly, as if to dispel the cold, and to welcome the grand ceremony. The hot and turbulent atmosphere easily ignited the Super Bowl craze, showing the majesty of North America's most prosperous era. There was excitement in the city stadium.
In the first offense of the game, Peyton Manning launched a classic multi-line offense, arranging three receiving players on his right wing. At the same time, standing in the pistol formation, Manning had a large observation field. Able to see the entire formation of the rear defense team and control the overall situation.
Such a formation and such tactics looked familiar - because Lu Ke was also very good at it, which made Kirk in the studio immediately sigh.
"We can expect now that this will be a head-to-head match against Maimang. God, what a scene when two master tacticians are present at the same time."
Sure enough, Manning played a trick on the first offense. He used a continuous fake kickoff tactic to get past the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team's predictions. He used the fake changes of the three receivers on the right to create a pass. It was a false impression; but after the kickoff, without any fake action, the football was directly handed to running back Moreno.
This was a fake handoff, but Manning didn't even create a fake handoff. He successfully deceived the defensive team by just using tactical layout, creating space for Moreno to rush the ball on the ground.
Although the San Francisco 49ers defensive team stepped up very quickly, Aldon Smith and Eric Wright immediately blocked the advancement line and were not confused by the forward movement of the three receivers on their left, but Moreno still In the area on the right side near the sideline, I found a narrow channel and rushed five yards hard——
Eric Wright, who came on as a substitute for Carroll Rogers, who was in poor form this season, squeezed Moreno's advancement space. He missed the tackle, but still used his body to force Moreno out of bounds, successfully ending the game. A ground push.
Obviously, Manning has fully considered the impact of today's weather. Although there is no snow or rain, the low body temperature still affects the passing feel. He needs to mobilize himself and make his body active so that the passing feel can be improved. Able to wake up slowly. Manning's composure was evident in the opening stage.
Followed by five yards on second gear.
Manning adopted a dazzling offensive tactic, which was also a multi-line attack with a pistol formation. However, Demarius Thomas, who was originally on the right side, walked along the line between Manning and Moreno before the kickoff. He quickly moved horizontally in the space, breaking the judgment of the defensive team, and made his own action to prepare to catch the ball.
Manning turned around and handed the football to Demaris, a fake move; Manning rushed forward and handed the football to Moreno, again a fake move.
After two consecutive fake moves that completely confused the judgment of the defensive team, he quickly turned around and shot out a small arc, trying to complete the connection with the wide receiver Eric Decker.
But Manning's passing touch was obviously not fully warmed up yet, and the arc was slightly higher. Eric Wright, the cornerback who was always guarding Decker, used a flying diving action to get ahead of Decker. Kerr tried to catch the football before - just a little bit, just a little bit, Wright was about to complete the interception. Unfortunately, because Manning's pass rotation was irregular, Wright was unable to position his hands:
The football was knocked to the ground.
After missing the first interception of the opening game, Wright hugged his helmet in annoyance, but the worse thing was yet to come - in order to block Decker's position, Wright was suspected of pass interference, that is, Before Decker caught the football, there was a tug on the jersey, which resulted in a yellow flag and a ten-yard penalty.
This also means that there was no interception, nor was the pass incomplete, but the opponent was directly given a first attack.
Wright was even more upset.
Instead of being stuck in a five-yard situation on third down, Manning once again came to ten yards on first down to reorganize the offense.
Then, the San Francisco 49ers defense team suddenly accelerated and used a cross-position defense to tear the pocket with only four people rushing the pass. Justin Smith, who became more and more courageous in the playoffs, went directly towards Manning at full speed. He sprinted over and the offensive linemen were unable to stop him.
Manning stood in the pocket and continued to step back. At the critical moment, he quickly passed the football and used a bullet pass to find Wes Welker who cut into the center from the slot - this The short but nimble-footed slot receiver stood surrounded by three defensive players and put the football into his arms. Then he was severely tackled by the defensive players, and he fell to the ground.
Complete the catch! First attack accomplished!
