A sudden long pass was blocked by a cornerback's flash of genius, and the opportunity was lost; a regular run was faced by the defensive team who saw through the tactics in advance and directly hit the wall to intercept... Then, the Denver Broncos had already entered the third. It's an eleven-yard dilemma, and it's still in the dangerous zone at the edge of the end zone.
what to do?
Generally speaking, when faced with such numbers in such a position, one chooses to run the ball on the ground to try to advance a few yards and seek a more appropriate and safe punting position. This is a common choice, and it is also the most favored choice by John Fox; however, Clearly, this is not a normal situation:
This is the Super Bowl, this is the start of the fourth quarter, and this is the offense just after the opponent scored a touchdown in 88 seconds. If after the offensive team, the opponent's defensive team also explodes with sufficient potential, then the Denver Broncos want to It will be even more difficult to regain the momentum; and a mere three-point advantage is far from enough for them to continue to deal conservatively. Therefore, the coaching staff must be calm and try to find the best solution.
As a result, the Denver Broncos' second timeout of the second half occurred.
John Fox still insisted on the tactic of advancing on the ground and then punting, but Adam Gase's words successfully impressed him: The team's third-down conversion success rate tonight was more than 80%-they only lost it twice It's just a third-gear conversion. Such a success rate is among the best for any team in any game. This also shows that the Denver Broncos offense is in hot shape now and they should take the risk.
When Manning led the offensive team again, they set up a pistol formation and an auxiliary two-by-two formation. Even the running back did not choose the lighter Ronnie Hillman, but chose the body. The strong Noshawn Moreno's offensive tactics are still unpredictable.
Is it a running game on the ground or a passing attack? The Denver Broncos offense, which debuted in a standard basic formation, kept unlimited possibilities and did not reveal any clues. This also increased the difficulty of judgment for the San Francisco 49ers defense, and this time the third-gear offense became even more unpredictable.
The San Francisco 49ers defensive team set up a five-man pass rush formation - three defensive forwards and two outside linebackers were fully pressed, while the two inside linebackers and two cornerbacks retreated about three to five yards, standing on the same level. on the top, facing different offensive players respectively, arranged horizontally; the two safety guards retreated about five yards, also standing on the same horizontal line, facing the outside of both ends of the offensive line, close to the two slots.
Looking down from a high position, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive formation is composed of three straight lines, like gates, spanning the short passing area——
All defensive players are positioned within a ten-yard range. The entire forward pressure is very obvious, and the frontcourt pressure has reached a new peak.
Manning, who had experienced countless storms and waves, showed no signs of panic. He methodically completed the defensive reading and tactical layout, and then simply announced the kickoff, "Attack!"
Three people rush the pass!
The San Francisco 49ers only adopted a three-man pass rush tactic, but Tony Jarrod Eddy and Ray McDonald's steps were quietly moved out of position - they grabbed outside linebackers Aldon Smith and Ahmed. -Brooks' position, cutting into the pocket from the two outsides of the offensive line, evacuating the two offensive guards without warning, and continuously harassing the two offensive guards through the spike Glenn Dorsey, creating an advantage.
A misplacement! One step forward! A forward thrust!
Jerod Eddy and McDonald cut into the pockets from both sides of the Denver Broncos offensive line, creating unparalleled pressure and forcing Manning to step back continuously to protect himself, but the two However, the pressure on his side continued to rush forward relentlessly. In the stormy sea, Manning completed the pass observation with a quick sweep, and before he was sacked, he completed the pass with a light throw!
Pushing a light parabolic football, it crossed the turbulent area where the two forward lines were entangled, and flew towards Julius Thomas who was diagonally forward on the right side of the short passing area. As a tight end, Julius was like a beacon. The short passing area has a size advantage.
This is a short pass of about six yards!
As long as Julius can catch the football, turn and continue to advance, it is not impossible to complete the first attack conversion, and then you can see Julius adjust his steps in small steps and knock away the defensive Aldon Smith with his back - near end The advantage of the forward's confrontation allowed Julius to successfully gain the upper hand. Aldon tried his best to block the position and kept hitting Julius with his body, destroying Julius' balance.
There was a brief entanglement, but in just one breath, the football was already falling quickly. Just when Julius stepped forward to complete the ball, a white figure pulled horizontally quickly and powerfully like a tornado and roared across the field. In front of Julius——
Move sideways, sprint, swoop, pause!
"Snapped!"
The football was intercepted in advance. Before Julius could react, the figure in front of him had already taken the football into his arms, leaving only a figure with the number 52 on his back, and then started the second time towards the end zone. Running wildly in the direction, what on earth is going on?
Julius stepped forward quickly to intercept the opponent, but Aldon used all his strength to collide, forcing Julius to stagger two steps to the right, and then missed the opportunity to complete the grapple and counterattack immediately. The figure had already strode away.
"Danger! Danger! Danger! Manning is experiencing serious pass rush pressure! Manning! Pass the ball! Complete the pass and the target is Julius Thomas!"
"football!"
"Football! intercepted!"
"Interception! God! Interception! Patrick Willis! God! God! Willis made the interception! He intercepted Manning's pass before Julius Thomas could complete the catch! God! Willis! Steal! Steal! Willis returns the ball! Willis is returning the ball quickly!"
"Touchdown!"
"Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ! Touchdown! Patrick Willis returned the interception for a touchdown! No. 52 of the San Francisco 49ers! The captain of the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team completed an interception return for a touchdown! San Francisco 49ers Go-ahead score! God! Can you believe it? Can you believe it!"
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! This is really, really unbelievable! The San Francisco 49ers are leading again! Can you believe what is happening now? The San Francisco 49ers, who were trailing by ten points two minutes ago, are now leading! Don't dare! I believe it! This is really amazing!”
"After Justin Smith left the game injured, Tony Jarrod Eddy teamed up with Ray McDonald to once again show the power of this defensive team! They forced Manning to try to pass the ball under tremendous pressure, which also resulted in Manning couldn't find a clearer passing lane!"
"Aldon Smith did his best to complete an incredible pass defense. He completely used his position to prevent Julius Thomas from easily getting rid of it. Without the advantage of strength and size, Smith successfully completed his pass. task, which created the conditions for Patrick Willis' interception! Willis, who missed the first three games of the playoffs due to injury, stepped forward again at the critical moment! Returning an interception for a touchdown The team took the lead again! Such speed! Such power! Such timing! Willis's work is perfect!"
"The San Francisco 49ers defense, which has been plagued by injuries this season, showed the spirit of this team that never surrenders at the most critical moment! Unbelievable! Really unbelievable! From the first defense to the second defense , they really pushed the Denver Broncos offense into desperation! In the end, they choked Manning's offense with an interception return touchdown! This was Manning's second pass interception in the playoffs, and the game faced another challenge. Let’s turn it around!”
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
Kate Wiggins roared at the top of her voice to the inside of the court, "This is what I said! This is what I said!" We will never surrender! We will never give up! We will always... fight! "This is what I said! Ahhh!" The shouting couldn't stop at all.
Involuntarily, Kate's vision was blurred by tears. Her heart was still beating fiercely and hotly. With the power of Ryan Baldwin, she felt her life force gushing out like never before. It bloomed wantonly like a flame was ignited.
Through her hazy vision, Kate saw the little figure of Miles Scott jumping and roaring, breathing and sharing the fate of the entire team.
At this moment, Miles raised his head, looked at Kate, and roared like the Lion King, "The battle never stops!"
Involuntarily, Kate also shouted together, "The fight never stops!"
Little by little, the shouts slowly became one, and all nine people inside the Metropolitan Stadium stood up collectively, raising their arms and shouting the same slogan. The mighty momentum broke the shackles of the screen, It also breaks the limitations of space and makes a faint sound over the entire North America.
Tony Romo, who was sitting in front of the TV, couldn't help but jump up from the sofa before he realized it, cheering for the San Francisco 49ers' interception return touchdown, as if he was standing on the field at this moment. The player above is like himself, and the excitement and excitement are rolling through his veins.
After roaring and shouting, Romo became quiet for a while, and then he saw the mighty figures standing up inside the Metropolitan Stadium, and the shouts became one. Even if he was not at the scene, his blood started to boil. Like a fool, he joined the ranks of the nine people:
"The fight never stops!"
At this moment, every fan and audience who was watching the Super Bowl on the TV was ignited and detonated. Then they all became one of the nine people, cheering and shouting for this peak battle of swordsmanship in Huashan, truly became one of them.
No one can be an exception!
