1706 Pursue while the victory is over
Competitive sports are like the ocean, in addition to the surface of the ocean, there are countless undercurrents hidden under the surface of the water, which cannot be seen, touched, or predicted.
Just ten seconds ago, the San Francisco 49ers were celebrating the defensive team's strikeout, firmly holding the victory initiative in their hands; But now, the Secret Service team has a low-level illegal formation foul, giving up five yards to the opponent and giving the opponent a first attack in vain.
Jim Hubble was already mad, standing on the sidelines and yelling madly at the special service players, he couldn't believe his eyes, such a low-level mistake appeared in such a crucial game, they had already taken the initiative in all directions, but now they easily gave the opponent a chance, who knows what will happen? Who knows what that means for both teams? This is a mistake that must not be allowed to occur -
But it appeared.
Clearly, the San Francisco 49ers got a little carried away, and the lack of detail led to unnecessary mistakes that were fatal to the game.
Lu Ke also realized that this mistake was likely to be a turning point for the Seattle Seahawks. But right now, blame foul bench outside lineback Nick-Moody — a rookie this year, the 180th pick in the sixth round, who made mistakes in key playoff games and was clearly inexperienced, so there's no point in holding accountable and, most importantly, refocusing.
So, Lu Ke stood up, waved his hands at the special service team players, and asked them all to come to the sidelines, join the ranks of the offensive group, stand side by side on the sidelines, and cheer for the teammates in the defense group - forget about mistakes, enter the game, and start from scratch, this is the right thing to do.
Although it is very, very difficult.
"Don't forget, the only turning point in the first half of the game was an unnecessary foul by the Seattle Seahawks Secret Service that was the starting point, causing the balance of the whole game to be upset; Now, the San Francisco 49ers special service team also had a low-level turnover foul, whether this can be the second turning point of this game, let's wait and see, such a close key game, mistakes and details are often the key to success or failure, so far, the Seattle Seahawks have made too many mistakes, which also makes them passive, and finally, they finally waited for the opponent's mistakes. ”
"The Seattle Seahawks offensive team is back! Let's see, can Russell Wilson do something about it. ”
Thanks to the foul of the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks came to the 35-yard line, and the whole attack started very well.
But the first offense was unexpected again, Russell chose to attack on the ground, and there were some deviations in his rugby delivery with Marshawn, which also forced Mashawn's footsteps to not be able to stand firmly, and after catching the rugby, his feet slipped a little, affecting his speed and power, and then the San Francisco 49ers tore the pocket again-
The misalignment of the five-man rush created a clear advantage, and Justin Smith cut straight into the end zone to grab Shawn, seized the opportunity of Shawn's failure to get a foothold, and simply pushed Shawn down behind the tee line.
Not only did it not advance yards, but it also lost three yards.
Obviously, the San Francisco 49ers didn't anticipate the unexpected, but neither did the Seattle Seahawks. The entire offensive front line still failed to adjust to the best state, and then was hit to death by the defensive front line with its head, and even a little confrontation was not formed, and it collapsed in an instant; Justin Smith, who was in hot form in this game, was once again in the spotlight, grabbing Shawn's dash without any drag.
Slow-motion replays show that Justin just made a wrong move and pushed away blind side offensive guard J-R-Sweezy, who ran over his head like a clumsy brown bear and Justin cut into the pocket without much effort.
"The Seattle Seahawks' offensive front line is a disaster, what the hell is wrong with them?"
Immediately after the next attack, the scene that happened in the first wave of the opening attack appeared again!
Faced with the protection of the pocket that was torn again, Russell chose to run out of the pocket and pretend to run with the ball, but before reaching the tee line, he sent the rugby ball out and found Doug Baldwin diagonally in front of the right with a 30-yard rainbow pass - Baldwin, who was in good form in this game, was surrounded by three defenders and caught the football in a hurry, turning the home team's offensive slump around in one fell swoop.
Russell and Baldwin showed their hard power in a pinch, snatching a long-yardage push from the San Francisco 49ers, which also made the Century Chain Stadium boil again - the consequences of the special service team's mistakes are gradually fermenting and heating up.
The Seattle Seahawks immediately went within the 30-yard line of the San Francisco 49ers' half, and more importantly, the atmosphere at the Century Chain Court was at its peak.
The next races proved it too!
In a desperate situation surrounded by three defenders, Russell found Tate with a short toss and completed a three-stop six-yard transition.
After a pocket was torn and he ran with the ball, Russell relied on his legs to complete the forward rush, and once again switched to the three-gear six-yard puzzle.
Then, the Seattle Seahawks were already in the red zone. The situation and situation of the whole game was a little dazzling and overwhelming, although the San Francisco 49ers defense was still strong, once in second gear for thirteen yards, twice in third gear of six yards, they caused countless problems for their opponents; However, Russell seems to have opened up the second vein of Ren Du, and the degree of tactical conversion and execution in place can be called a new look, and the entire momentum of the Seattle Seahawks has begun to continue to recover, as if it is a somewhat unstoppable posture, which also makes the game fierce again.
But the red zone offense is different after all, the whole intensity and tempo, the whole confrontation and layout, all are different, and the defensive group can have a slight upper hand.
Russell was still very resolute and decisive, with a quick short pass, successfully found Miller, the close end, and advanced five yards; A fake run and a real pass, but it was recognized, and in the face of the encirclement of two defenders, there was an outrageous mistake in the pass, and it went directly out of bounds; A quick kick-off tactic, but the pass target Baldwin fell into the encirclement, and then Aldon jumped in time to touch the rugby ball, changing the trajectory of the pass and creating an incomplete pass.
The Seattle Seahawks' strength still hit the iron plate in the red zone, and the San Francisco 49ers finally stopped the opponent at the front of the end zone - the rhythm of the offensive front line was repeatedly broken by the defensive front, resulting in not being able to give Russell adequate pocket protection, which is still a weakness that the San Francisco 49ers accurately grasped, and finally successfully intercepted this wave of offense on the first five yards of the end zone.
The Seattle Seahawks took advantage of the opponent's low-level mistakes to launch a ferocious counterattack, but they still failed to do it in one go, which is undoubtedly a huge pity; However, they were able to break the deadlock and try to score from a free-kick, which gave them a glimmer of hope for the games ahead.
That's all that matters!
The Seattle Seahawks made no mistake this time, smoothly kicked a 23-yard free kick, chased the score to "13:26", and closed the gap between two touchdowns, and the gap between the two waves of offensive possession could be erased, and before entering the fourth quarter of the game, the suspense of victory and defeat came back a little.
But now, the situation is far from optimistic, on the one hand, the Seattle Seahawks' wave of offense has repeatedly encountered countless obstacles, the consumption time is very long, after the free kick, the third quarter of the game is only three minutes and three seconds, the game time is not good for the home team; On the other hand, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team, which has not yet dropped the game, will be back in action, and if the league's top-ranked defensive team can't stop the opponent and let the deficit widen again to more than two possessions – whether it's a free kick or a touchdown, then the hope will be very slim.
In short, the Seattle Seahawks defense had to stop the San Francisco 49ers' offense, and the focus of the game returned to the absolute core of the game:
"Contradiction War"!
Is it the sharper spears of the San Francisco 49ers, or the shields of the Seattle Seahawks stronger? The next wave of offense and defense is likely to determine the outcome of the whole game - after experiencing the pressure caused by the unexpected mistakes of the special service team, what performance will Lu Ke dedicate?
Lu Ke, it's here!
Ten yards in gear, the Seattle Seahawks showed the No. 1 defensive group in the league, and this time it was the much-anticipated Bombardment Army that completed the outbreak, and it was-
"Richard Sherman!"
"Nice defense! Sherman dedicates a textbook corner back defense! Lu Ke found the close end Logan Newman with a quick short pass, Lu Ke and Newman's tacit understanding is undoubted, Newman successfully caught the rugby, but Sherman did not give up, he relied on his own tackle interference, destroyed Newman's control of the rugby, and then directly disrupted Newman's rhythm with a strong tackle, forcing Newman to watch the rugby fall to the ground! ”
"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! Lu Ke's passing power was only slightly weaker, no offset or inaccurate, but Sherman keenly grasped this little deviation, created a gap between Newman and Rugby, and destroyed the rugby that had been caught by Newman! This is definitely the league's top cornerback defense, and the strong dominance makes the close end have to be feared! ”
It would have been a perfect 10-yard pass and Newman would have had to turn and fall to get the first shot for his team, but Sherman proved to be good! In this game, Sherman showed his peak form for the first time, and wow, now the Seattle Seahawks are indeed in full recovery! The San Francisco 49ers have to pick up the tempo now! ”
