423 ups and downs
Read the defense, read the defense, read the defense.
After completing the formation again, Lu Ke still began to read the defense step by step, or the man-to-man defense, without any changes, but Lu Ke was not happy and excited, his eyes fell on the defenders one by one, and seemed to be judging the movement direction of each defender one by one.
Every time, when the defender's gaze met with Lu Ke, Lu Ke subconsciously moved his gaze to the upper left, as if to hide his tactical intentions, but inadvertently exposed his passing target. Regardless of whether the opponent deciphers the relevant information, at least there is a foreshadowing.
Between eye exchanges, Lu Ke strode forward and changed his tactics. Then, he took three steps back to the rear, and the pistol formation changed to a shotgun formation, and he assumed a posture of passing the ball with all his might; Marcus moved to the left and stood behind Jean and Crabtree in an inverted triangle.
Despite this, the New York Giants' defensive formation remained unchanged, and even directly ignored Marcus's movement, and implemented the man-to-man tactics to the end, so as to respond to all changes without change, and the tactics that performed well in the second half were rigorously continued.
made a decision immediately, and Lu Ke directly announced the kick-off.
The entire San Francisco 49ers' offensive formation began to move to the left, like a floating island, slowly shifting little by little, first the offensive front, moving in the middle of the confrontation, quietly moving to the left at the same time, which made the confrontation of the whole pocket form a slow tilt.
Jean, who was on the left, rushed forward and took his speed advantage to the extreme; Crabtree, also on the left, ran a short pass, sprinted five yards forward, and then skimmed a small diagonal line to the outside of the left, ready to catch the ball and go out of bounds immediately.
Logan and Williams, who were on the right, cut inside to the left at the same time, the only difference was the timing, Logan only rushed forward three or four yards before cutting inside on the left side, and began to pull sideways along the position where the defensive forward had just stood; Williams, on the other hand, took advantage of his speed and sprinted seven or eight yards before making a 90-degree turn and sprinting to the left.
As a result, the entire attacking group showed a serious left-side tilt trend, like a tornado, sweeping in the same direction, stirring the world upside down.
In an instant, all the players in the New York Giants' defensive team began to move their center of gravity, following the San Francisco 49ers' offensive arrows, advancing in the same direction, and a serious tilt immediately formed in the court, as if it was about to roll over.
In this way, the only exception stands out: Marcus!
Marcus was on the left, standing three yards behind Jean and Crabtree, and after kick-off, Marcus didn't start, but stood in place, following the offensive line slightly to the left by a yard or two, looking like an idle vagrant, not a striker, not a receiver.
After a beat or so behind, Marcus started to start, a forward rush, a stop, a turn, and then just five yards in front of him, he began to pull sideways to the right, turned around, turned his back to the end area, faced Lu Ke, raised his right hand high, and looked like a round girl showing round cards in the boxing ring, trying to attract everyone's attention.
Worst!
In the same direction, Marcus looked like a maverick thorn, swimming against the current, instantly attracting the attention of two defenders, who both braked in time, forced a change of center of gravity, and sped towards Marcus.
At this moment, Lu Ke, who was standing in the shotgun formation, steadily completed the pace adjustment, raised his right hand, and instantly began to wave his arm to the left - the hints before the attack and the trend after the attack finally converged, and the players of the entire New York Giants defensive group did not continue to hesitate, and collectively converged in the direction of their right side, trying to block the connection of the pass,
But......
"Pass the ball from the left! Wait, no, this is a feint, Lu Ke deceived the entire defensive group, and after retracting his arm, he readjusted his footsteps, completed the passing action again, and headed towards ...... On the right side, it's a pass to the right, and the target is ...... It's not Marcus Lynch, it's a long pass, God, it's a rainbow long pass! ”
Troy really stunning, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive diversity and changeable characteristics were brought into full play at this time, and they were completely unguardable, the New York Giants defensive team was completely led by the nose, and Lu Ke's state finally returned, at least in terms of tactical arrangement and defensive reading, so what about passing?
"The pass target is Logan Newman, Jesus Christ, when did Logan show up on the right side?"
Troy asked the same question in the minds of all the commentators, and out of sight, Logan suddenly switched from left to right, and appeared on Lu Ke's passing route, which was unexpected by the commentators, and also by the New York giants.
At the level of tactical arrangement, Lu Ke really regained his intuition and touch; But in terms of passing accuracy, it still needs to be tested.
"Thirty yards, forty yards, half time...... Long pass, Lu Ke's rainbow pass flew across the half court like a bamboo, and it passed another forty-five and forty yards! Logan Newman! ”
"Logan Newman ran out of a gap, a big gap, God! The 49ers' No. 88 near end Newman completed the catch, beautiful, this is really beautiful, an accurate catch in the middle of the regression, slightly lower the center of gravity, and complete the catch steadily! ”
……
The tactical movement of cross-switching successfully created a gap between the two teams, which also became a great opportunity for passing the ball.
After the kick-off, Logan did not hesitate to start rushing forward and turning left, and the familiar short pass area running route was completely at hand, after cutting into the middle ground, he stopped again, completed the second 90-degree turn, and began to push forward strongly, but this time it was not a straight arrow, but a slight offset to the right, and with the running footsteps, little by little back into the right passage.
Two emergency stops, two changes of direction, speed is not Logan's absolute advantage, but as a close end of the power control is eye-catching, after rushing through the half-court half-line, Logan began to adjust his pace, while turning back and small steps, slowly began to fit into Lu Ke's passing track.
When we arrived near the 40-yard line, it was a three-way zone, and in the dense backcourt space, a vacuum was formed with Logan as the center and a three-yard radius, tearing a big hole in the defensive camp, and there was no pressure at all, Logan only adjusted his pace slightly, and then finished receiving the ball.
Lu Ke's passing control is still not 100% accurate, the parabola is a little insufficient, and the final landing point is not the position of the chest, but the position of the abdomen; However, there has been a noticeable improvement in form and feel, and Logan only needs to lower his center of gravity and successfully complete a safe catch in a half-squat position.
After getting back on his feet, Logan adjusted his footwork, turned 180 degrees, and faced the end zone, ready to start a second time and rush again, but then saw that the three defenders had formed a trap.
The first defender to rush over hit Logan's right shoulder, shaking his center of gravity, and Logan only had time to take a full step before falling into the closing trap, and he didn't continue to force it, falling to the ground, protecting the rugby ball, and successfully completing the swoop.
Faced with a 20-yard situation in second gear, the rookie quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers once again showed his bold side, with a 40-yard pass, he won the first offense, and also led the team to the opponent's half near the 40-yard line, wonderful! It's really exciting! ”
"People are lamenting that Eli Manning may be the best quarterback in the league at turnaround in the fourth quarter; But people should not forget that Lu Ke is definitely another quarterback who is good at hard battles, and the big heart at critical moments is the initial impression he gives to the entire league! Unknown, the next game is still unknown, after entering the second half of the fourth quarter, the excitement of this strong matchup finally detonated the Candlestick Stadium! ”
From the commentary booth to the audience, everyone was boiling over this crucial long pass; But on the court, Lu Ke had no distractions, as if he hadn't heard those shouts at all, just kept gesticulating, beckoning his teammates to come forward, while comparing tactics, and signaling his teammates to spread quickly, the real time counts.
After Logan received the ball and went to the ground, the clock was 1:40 and it was still going on, and the San Francisco 49ers did not need to take a timeout, because they had already wasted a timeout in the second half of the game.
Before an attack began, they found that there was a deviation in the communication of tactics, and they were forced to helplessly, Lu Ke took the initiative to ask for a timeout, re-read the defense, and rearrange the tactics, which was an accident, an accident that no one wanted, but it happened like this.
If all goes well, then it's just a little episode; But now the game is in a scorching state, and it's very deadly.
Therefore, the San Francisco 49ers, who now have two timeouts, do not dare to act rashly, and they will not easily use the timeout until the most critical moment, otherwise they will only fall into greater passivity later.
Coming to the 40-yard line, completing the formation and completing the tactical arrangement, the game time has come to one minute and twenty seconds, and it is still passing, nineteen seconds, eighteen seconds...... Without any pause or hesitation, Lu Ke immediately announced the kick-off.
However, after the kick-off, there seemed to be a fault line in the communication of the offensive front, and in the face of the New York Giants' sudden compression of the defensive front, the pressure was actually average, not too fierce, but the pocket protection was quickly compressed, and the speed of contraction was far beyond Lu Ke's imagination.
The unexpected, here comes again.
