"This is the Super Bowl! This is the matchup of the year! We have discussed this game over and over again, about the strength of the two offensive groups, and about the abilities of Manning and Lu Ke. This is definitely the top and most exciting matchup of the season. The attack battle; but we ignored the unknown factor, which is also an indispensable part of the game-the defense team!"
"Thanks to the defensive team's continuous explosive performance, the Denver Broncos now lead '40:30' and are moving step by step towards Manning's second Super Bowl championship trophy. If the Denver Broncos really reach the top, then Whether the MVP should be awarded to Peyton Manning or Malik Jackson is undoubtedly an interesting topic."
After returning from the intermission, the game progressed really fast. The back and forth between offense and defense was overwhelming. There was not even much time to breathe. Then the score went from "23:23" to "40:30". "The two sides teamed up to score 24 points. Before the third quarter ended, the total score had already reached 70 points - even though this was a much-anticipated offensive battle, the excitement of the game was still far away. Beyond imagination.
The Denver Broncos complete the extra point.
The Denver Broncos complete the kickoff.
The San Francisco 49ers completed the counterattack.
The time for the third quarter of the game has run out. When Lu Ke comes on the stage again, it is already the fourth quarter of the game, which also means that the decisive moment is coming.
During the Denver Broncos' kickoff, Matt Platt completed a successful kickoff, controlling the arc and placement so that San Francisco 49ers returner Osgood could not complete it comfortably. Instead of catching the ball, he awkwardly stepped back to the two-yard line in front of the end zone to catch the football.
With an unstable center of gravity, Osgood was actually the best option to choose to catch the ball safely; but in the short time, Osgood failed to think effectively and just launched a counterattack with the ball driven by conditioned reflexes. In the end, it was just The play came back to the six-yard line and was pushed right off the sideline.
Amidst the unexpected exclamations in the studio, the San Francisco 49ers had to start their offense from the six-yard line at the front of their own end zone. The situation was very bad.
In the Metropolitan Stadium, the Denver Broncos fans are cheering and reveling selflessly. Their momentum is rising steadily. All signs show that the Denver Broncos have seized the initiative, and the situation of the San Francisco 49ers is getting more and more difficult. , it seemed that with just a little more pressure, they could completely overwhelm their opponents and be on the road to the Super Bowl, causing them to chant feverishly for support.
Standing in the pocket protection of the offensive line, Lu Ke glanced at Malik out of the corner of his eye. Sparks burst out from his ordinary eyes during the collision, but both sides faced each other head-on without giving an inch. With just one touch, Lu Ke moved away and swept towards the entire defensive team. His chaotic brain had completely calmed down, and he had to slightly change his on-the-spot tactics.
Ten yards from the first gear, Lu Ke directly cleared the backfield and stood in a dangerous position at the front of the end zone. He had no intention of using the ball on the ground to advance safely. After clearing the field, he set up a shotgun formation, including Marcus. They sent out all five receiving points, including three wide receivers, and insisted on using the three wide receiver tactics, pushing the San Francisco 49ers' offensive firepower to the extreme. They seemed to refuse to admit defeat and decided to go toe-to-toe with the Denver Broncos.
"attack!"
Lu Ke immediately announced the kick-off.
I saw that Lu Ke's footsteps paused, and his body moved slightly to the right, but his right leg did not take a step. He just made a movement and then supported his body. He took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, twisting his waist. , the rugby ball was sent out towards the left side of the central zone.
Quick kickoff! Take action quickly!
Lu Ke's entire passing movement was smooth and smooth - Malik was fully focused on observing Lu Ke's movement. Even though it was a slap in the face, it still destroyed Malik's step-up movement, and he didn't even have time to step up. , Lu Ke's pass has already been pushed out.
"Whoosh!"
"boom!"
The knife falls from the hand! Logan cut into the center from the inside of the left wing and had already caught the football. The five-yard short pass did not require any adjustment time at all, and he turned around and prepared to continue advancing; but the Denver Broncos linebackers were still focused, Irving and Paris They joined forces to surround Logan and successfully completed the tackle, only allowing Logan to take one step forward. They intercepted Logan's advance as quickly as possible and stopped the advance at seven yards.
Could it be that Lu Ke is planning to use continuous short passes to break the rhythm, and then wait for an opportunity to complete the long pass? Like the last attack of the first half?
So, how should they complete the defense? They can't judge when Lu Ke makes a long pass. Then, they can only use frontline pressure to disrupt Lu Ke's passing rhythm. This is the simplest and crudest but most direct and effective defensive strategy——
Malik supported the ground with both hands and gently stepped on his feet, letting his feet find a stable feeling of support on the ground. Just like starting a motorcycle engine, he stepped on the accelerator with his left foot and accumulated his energy bit by bit. Get up and get ready!
"attack!"
The sound of Lu Ke's kick-off exploded above the eardrums. Malik's eyes were firmly locked on Lu Ke's figure. He pushed hard with his legs, and his whole body shot out like an arrow from a string, with all his strength. He sprinted towards Lu Ke as hard as he could.
Malik could clearly notice Lu Ke's methodical retreat, which delayed the shortening of the distance between the two people. The completely concentrated attention burst into a calm and calm manner, amidst the turbulent waves. There was no panic or rush at all.
But immediately, Malik realized something was wrong - Alex Boone got stuck in Malik's path early, creating a space advantage by retreating in small steps, waiting for Malik to sprint into place at full speed. , Boone supported the ground with his right leg, and he rushed forward and hit. The powerful force created a feeling of hitting a wall, which made Malik's blood surge. He was unable to control his steps and retreated continuously.
At the moment when his footsteps were chaotic and slippery, Malik's peripheral vision had already captured the flight trajectory of the football. The high-speed rotating bullet pass left only an afterimage, and like a thunderbolt, it passed through the tangled front line. The Hehan Realm is pushed out towards the far-reaching area.
What?
Not a quick pass, but not a short pass, but a slightly delayed intermediate pass? Lu Ke changed the rhythm of his passing strategy more frequently than imagined. This immediately made all judgments of the defensive team lose sight, and Malik had an ominous premonition in his shaky steps.
The passing target is——
Michael Crabtree!
Crabtree singled out safety guard Ionacho with a straight forward posture. Obviously, the Denver Broncos were very afraid of the San Francisco 49ers' passing route layout.
The entire second-line defense seems to lack confidence. Even if its own defensive front line has created enough advantages, the second-line defense has never been able to press forward, fearing that the close-to-body marking may be directly broken by the opponent, just like in the first half. Te-Irving's two misses were average defense, so now all the second-line defenses have opened up the distance, leaving enough buffer space for themselves, which has become a breakthrough.
Crabtree slightly deviated from Iannacio's vertical axis alignment and shifted a little to the inside. When his footsteps were still five or six steps away from Iannacio, the angle of deviation increased, and then It looks like plump rice ears hanging down in autumn, and is gathered inward around Iannachio.
Iannacio, who was adjusting his steps and center of gravity to wait for work, suddenly lost his mind, then adjusted his steps and rushed towards Crabtree.
Too late.
Crabtree turned around and caught Lu Ke's bullet pass. There was no problem with the mid-pass of about fifteen yards, and it landed accurately in Crabtree's chest, even though Iannachio was right behind him. He grabbed Crabtree and didn't let the wide receiver advance further, but the first attack was still easy.
Not only Malik, but other players on the Denver Broncos defense also felt the sense of crisis that sticks to their skin:
First of all, Lu Ke's shooting rhythm has accelerated. In two consecutive offenses and defenses, the defensive frontline has no time to form effective pressure. Secondly, Lu Ke's passing route has changed. One short pass and one medium pass. There is no pattern and no context. , the defensive second-line judgment is unbalanced; again, the running route is streamlined, and the receiving players have given up on the dazzling running route coordination, and instead use relatively simple running to compress the time to complete the ball quickly.
Most importantly, it's not just about speeding up, it's about changing speeds.
Now the Denver Broncos defensive team cannot accurately judge the opponent's offensive rhythm. Even if the defensive frontline takes the initiative, it will be difficult to break the situation for a while. In fact, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team suddenly started to exert force, just like the defensive team suddenly broke out. This These instantaneous changes are difficult to master. Although there were only two attacks now, Malik could already sense a sense of crisis. However, Lu Ke did not leave any time to react.
"attack!"
Lu Ke's offensive command has sounded. The Denver Broncos defensive team has no time to think carefully and can only start defense according to the halftime tactical arrangement——
Five-man pass rush!
When the rhythm of the offensive team suddenly becomes tight, the defensive team should take the initiative, focus on themselves, and create opportunities by disrupting the rhythm of the offensive team. Otherwise, facing Lu Ke, it will be difficult for them to find defense again. Opportunities; and now, it’s time to take the initiative!
But Malik had just stepped forward when he noticed something:
The handover between Lu Ke and Marcus!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
How could he ignore one important thing: this is a pistol formation, not a shotgun formation. Now that Lu Ke simply chooses to hand the football to Marcus, the Denver Broncos' defensive focus is obviously wrong! Damn it!
