Just as all the fans were cheering and celebrating the Denver Broncos' third passing touchdown, Jim Harbaugh unexpectedly raised a red flag challenge.
All eyes are focused on the referee team - any penalty on the Super Bowl stage is crucial, not to mention that this time it is related to a touchdown? But surprisingly, the video conference of the referee team lasted less than a minute before the referee walked into the field.
Either the referee team made a hasty penalty - which is obviously impossible, or the penalty was uncontroversial and all the evidence was obvious. The referee team's decision was so simple and quick. Does this mean...
"After video replay, the penalty on the field was changed. After No. 88 completed the ball, one foot went out of bounds, resulting in an invalid catch, the touchdown was invalid, the third gear was not completed, the offensive team entered the fourth gear and six yards, and the score on the field Dial back to '13:7'..."
The referee's voice echoed through the microphone inside the Metropolitan Stadium, and then stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and various reactions broke out collectively.
Inside the stadium, all the defensive players of the San Francisco 49ers rushed towards Tarell Brown, slapping Brown's helmet one after another and howling with joy - if it weren't for Brown's perseverance, the result would have been the same. It will not be changed. This is the first successful defense of the defensive team in this game. Although it is difficult, it is an important turning point for morale. They finally defended Manning!
Escape from death! This is definitely a close call! By just a hair's breadth, the San Francisco 49ers did not allow the Denver Broncos to further expand their score.
For the Denver Broncos, although it is frustrating, this cannot be blamed on Manning and cannot be blamed on DeMarres. They tried their best, but in the end they just lacked a little bit of luck. The only surprise is that Hubble turned out to be like this. Determined and so determined, he chose the red flag challenge without hesitation despite the slight possibility. If it were John Fox, he would never have done this. Hubble's gambler's mentality won again.
The touchdown was blown away, and the third-down touchdown turned into a fourth-down touchdown. Faced with a six-yard fourth-down situation, Fox ultimately did not give it a go and hit fourth down, but chose a free kick.
When Manning passed the ball, all the game time in the first quarter had been exhausted. Entering the second quarter, after the two sides exchanged venues, the Denver Broncos took the lead to complete the free kick.
Kicker Matt Platt, who had previously missed the extra point, did not show any fluctuations. Facing a 23-yard free kick, he made a steady hit and widened the score for the home team, "16:7."
From the studio to the VIP room, from MetLife Stadium to all over North America, everyone can't help but start gearing up because they know:
It’s time for Lu Ke’s performance!
The San Francisco 49ers defensive team worked hard to convert the touchdown into a free kick, which also provided the offensive team with a good opportunity to chase points. It depends on whether Lu Ke can seize it.
"Wow! This game is really exciting. My heart is almost going to explode right now." Kate Wiggins stood in the surging crowd and couldn't help shouting excitedly, her voice was full of excitement. She couldn't help but start to tremble slightly. Looking around, she could see the faces full of excitement and excitement. Those burning eyes were all projected towards the field, all falling on the same person. :
Lu Ke.
With the whole audience watching, all the pressure was piled on Lu Ke's shoulders. Those hot eyes could almost burn the skin, but as the person involved, Lu Ke didn't notice it at all, because all his attention was focused on the defense in front of him. The team members are contemplating the attack in front of them.
Although the Denver Broncos' defensive team is seriously biased, and some even say that this defensive team only has three goals, Lu Ke knows that even three goals can still bring great damage as long as they can be fully utilized, and he must deal with it carefully - —Maybe John Fox’s on-the-spot response was not timely or bold enough, but at least John Fox’s pre-game preparation was rich and detailed enough, which also means:
The Denver Broncos defense can't have just one defensive scheme!
Even if the defensive tactics are planned around the pressure on the defensive front, the head coach can also formulate several different plans. Just now Lu Ke broke the first plan, then Fox is bound to activate the backup plan, which also means that Lu Ke The layout must be restarted and the previous template cannot be applied.
Ten yards from the first gear, Marcus Lynch rushed on the ground and came on the rotation, but he encountered a quick tackle and only advanced three yards.
Seven yards on second down, a quick pass, and he found Logan immediately after the kickoff. He also encountered a quick tackle and only advanced five yards.
It can be seen from the two offenses that the Denver Broncos have slightly relaxed their front-line pressure - they only rely on four defensive forwards to complete the pressure work, while the three linebackers' positions have been slightly retreated. At each step, they completed the defense based on Lu Ke's tactical choices, either ground defense to quickly tackle Marcus; or short pass defense to quickly help defend Logan, increasing the defensive intensity of the entire short pass area.
Simple, but effective.
Now the pressure on Lu Ke standing in the pocket is slightly reduced - but to a limited extent; however, the offensive pressure in the short passing area has slightly increased.
Hubble also noticed the change, but he hesitated a little in his tactical choices. Facing the situation of two yards on third gear, he was thinking: continue to use the ground rush to attract the Denver Broncos defensive team to come forward, or use quick speed The short pass pushes the linebacker's position further back.
The opinions of Hubble and Lu Ke slightly conflicted, because Lu Ke believed that the passing line should be opened at this time, looking for breakthroughs in the mid-pass and long pass areas, completely disrupting the layout of the Denver Broncos defensive team - Hubble's two All choices are correct, but these choices are all within Fox's expectations. Lu Ke hopes to create more chaos unexpectedly; however, Lu Ke needs to take more risks - although it has now entered the second quarter of the game, But this was only Lu Ke's third wave of attacks. His passing touch was still not optimal, and medium and long passes were still unstable.
When facing the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks, they didn't have many choices. Instead, they were able to burst out with all-or-nothing persistence and determination. Now facing the Denver Broncos, they suddenly have more choices. Between calculation and gaming, consider More, which creates more hesitation.
Seeing that the kick-off time was about to end, Hubble still couldn't clear his mind, so he used the second timeout.
Lu Ke quickly trotted towards Hubble, relaying all the information he observed on the field to help Hubble make judgments and choices.
In the end, Hubble and Lu Ke reached an agreement: two yards in third gear, whether it is short passing or running the ball, this is a reasonable choice. The Denver Broncos will definitely make corresponding strategies. They are likely to choose multiple people to rush the pass and then Use matchup defense to cut off offensive methods in short passing areas; if San Francisco takes the initiative and breaks the rules, it can create more advantages.
This was Lu Ke's judgment based on his own observations on the court - Hubble chose to trust Lu Ke.
The timeout ended, the two sides returned to the court, and then Lu Ke directly announced the kick-off.
"attack!"
Standing on the sidelines, Hubble captured the huge momentum created by the Denver Broncos' five-man pass rush, instantly forcing back the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line. His pocket became precarious, but he was not nervous at all. Instead, he clenched his fists. ——Because Lu Ke’s judgment was correct.
As expected, the Denver Broncos chose to use multiple people to rush the pass, but the defensive tactics completely fell into the judgment of the San Francisco 49ers, who made preparations in advance.
The five offensive linemen each worked on their own, each guarding a defensive player. They completely gave up the strategy of team defense and just focused on their own defensive targets. This caused the entire pocket protection to be torn apart, and Lu Ke was directly exposed. The defensive players were within sight, but in the seemingly precarious and stormy situation, no defensive player could reach Lu Ke.
What's more, after Lu Ke kicked off the ball, he held the ball with both hands and immediately distanced himself with continuous steps back. He stood about seven to eight yards from the kickoff line, staying away from the passing pressure of the defensive players and winning for himself. It provides a wide field of vision and a panoramic view of the entire field.
This also proves once again that defensive reading and game sense are a talent that cannot be reflected in data but are crucial! Lu Ke was already in front of the defensive team.
At the same time, the receivers once again demonstrated the San Francisco 49ers' league-leading route running ability - although their individual abilities cannot be compared with the Denver Broncos' receiving corps, they collectively pick each other off and cover each other. The combat capability is enough to rank among the top ranks of the Soyuz.
Two-by-two offensive formation!
Crabtree, who was on the outside of the left wing, charged forward at an angle of fifteen degrees to the right, and Boulding, who was on the inside of the left wing, charged forward at an angle of thirty degrees to the right.
The lines appear to be subtly parallel, but gradually separate. Crabtree cuts into the short passing area within five vertical yards of space, while Boldin cuts into the mid-passing area that is ten yards away from vertical space.
Gene, who was on the outside of the right wing, rushed forward at full speed along the sideline, and Logan, who was on the inside of the right wing, rushed forward at a 45-degree angle to the left.
Gene's unstoppable sprint pushed the entire offensive area toward the deep zone; Logan's inward cut intertwined with Crabtree and Boldin, creating a dazzling mismatched run in the central zone.
Plus, there’s Marcus!
Marcus, who was standing beside Lu Ke, rushed forward at a 30-degree angle to the left. After crossing the slot, he turned and sprinted vertically towards the end zone, forming a vertical strike with Gene on the other side. Composition.
Five players, five lines, which also made the Denver Broncos' defense completely confused.
