"Attack!"

With Lu Ke's kick-off slogan, the offensive front line began to actively shrink the pocket, like a spread fan, the middle fan was resisted, the fans on both sides were recycled, and then the whole front line was stretched.

The big difference is Vernon Davis's step-back. As a close forward, he did not rush forward to find a way to receive the ball, but joined Stanley's ranks and became the sixth player in the offensive line, expanding the protection area of the fan, firmly holding Lu Ke in the middle, forming a solid pocket.

When reading the defense, Lu Ke made a judgment that the Green Bay Packers raided the quarterback was a high probability event.

This isn't a world puzzle like Hodge's conjecture, and the San Francisco 49ers have to face a 20-yard dilemma, which gives the defense more room to play, they just need to focus, get stuck in the short and mid-pass areas, and put pressure on the front line, and Lu Ke's options will quickly diminish and even fall into a trap.

So, after discussing with Hubble, Lu Ke and Hubble made a predetermined choice in advance - on top of the original offensive tactics, give up Vernon as an offensive point and increase pocket protection; And use unexpected running routes to confuse the public, and win in danger.

Last season, bold and risky offensive tactical choices, rich and varied West Coast offensive tactics, allowed them to reach the Nations League finals; This season, there's no reason to abandon tactics that have been successful.

As expected, after the kickoff, the entire defensive formation of the Green Bay Packers was pressed forward strongly, and the first, second, and third lines were fully pressed!

They abandoned the run-and-ball defense and pulled out six players to attack the quarterback; In addition, an outside lineback, two corner backs and a safety guard pressed all over the line, constantly squeezing from the midrange area towards the short pass area, and the attack power of the entire defense burst out with a sharp energy, and the mighty rush towards the opponent.

Only the only security guard Bonet was left to suppress the backfield.

But the packers' first-line defensive players obviously did not expect that the deliberately created numerical advantage did not occupy the advantage, but formed a "six vs six" situation.

Interestingly, instead of one-on-one, Vernon and Stanley teamed up to jam Matthews' position, while the remaining four players teamed up to fend off the onslaught of five other defenders.

Matthews's strength and ferocity are vividly displayed at this moment, even if Vernon and Stanley join hands to defend, they are still defeated in Matthews's ferocious and brutal collision; The rest of the offensive line was also slightly inferior at this time due to the disadvantage of numbers.

However, the offensive front line was prepared in advance, and although the blocked front was retreating little by little, the pocket was still not completely falling apart, but in the compression, the advantage was shrinking little by little.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...... Four seconds......

This is enough for Lu Ke, in the game of offense and defense, the first half of the plan according to Lu Ke's plan, won enough time, so now it depends on how the second half of the plan is implemented.

The pocket footsteps were moving and adjusting unhurriedly, although it was obvious that the advantage of the pocket was being lost in the corner of the eye, but Lu Ke was still not in a hurry, first moved two small half-steps to the left and made a passing action; Then there was a pause, a sharp step towards the right front, a big stride up, relying on the power and inertia of the tiptoe, raised the right hand, the whole passing position in one go, before the pocket was fully contracted, the rugby ball was transmitted.

It's a rainbow pass!

……

If you look down from above, you can appreciate the variety of San Francisco 49ers' offensive tactics.

Michael Crabtree, Logan Newman and Ted Jean, the catch-and-catch duo that repeatedly performed miracles last season, teamed up.

On the left flank, Crabtree ran along the sideline he knew best, digging forward, five, ten, fifteen...... The momentum of the whole rush showed no signs of stopping, and it sprinted forward like a tornado, whistling by.

On the right flank, Logan stood on top of the slot, but the running route echoed that of Crabtree, sprinting in a straight line directly in front of him, and the two straight lines were pushing quickly in parallel, compared to Crabtree being more ferocious and Logan lighter, and after running ten yards away, Logan's speed was gradually exceeding.

Could it be that Logan wasn't aiming for a twenty-yard squad, but a more far-reaching blow?

On the right flank, Jean stood on the outside, and after a short five-yard sprint, he made a sharp stop, a 90-degree turn, and then a large lateral pull from right to left, which was also a signature running route, making his way through the gap between the lineback and cornerback, constantly adjusting his position and footwork, and getting ready to catch the ball.

Three receivers and four defenders, all clustered in the short and middle pass areas.

In the original matchup, the corner-backs on the left and right sides defended Crabtree and Jean respectively, and after the kick-off, they naturally followed their markers in the same direction; But Jean ran out of a lateral pull, and the cornerback could only follow, while the other outside lineback, who was originally in the middle, tried to keep an eye on Logan, but at this time he made a quick judgment and followed Gene.

In other words, a cornerback plays against Crabtoprie, and an outside lineback and a cornerback team up to defend Jean.

And what about Logan?

There is also a security guard in the middle area, Charles Woodson.

Woodson kept cruising his footsteps, and his first reaction was to keep up with Jean, but noticing that his teammates were in time to make up for the defense, his steps quickly retreated, adjusting and following as he went, never losing Logan's running rhythm.

If this continues, then the San Francisco 49ers only have three receiving points, and Crabtree, who has the advantage of positioning, is still the best passing option, and Bonet, who is standing in the backcourt, has quietly begun to move towards Crabtree.

But everyone forgot that the San Francisco 49ers had a fourth catch-up spot in the room.

"Oops!"

Woodson spotted Marcus Lynch's footsteps as soon as possible, and when all eyes were focused on Lu Ke and the front line, Marcus deftly came to the right side, and with the distraction of Logan and Jean, he quickly and lightly went around, but with the simplest in-cut run, Marcus was already in a no-man's land.

There is no defender in at least five yards around to get into position.

What's more, there's only one defender in front of Marcus, and let's not forget that Marcus is a running guard at work, and getting rid of the tackle and breaking through is his skill – Woodson has to get stuck in position first and stifle the push before Marcus starts running.

Woodson's heart contracted suddenly, and he made a judgment almost reflexively, and suddenly changed his center of gravity, gave up Logan, and sprinted towards Marcus, as soon as his footsteps were raised, his eyes could already catch Lu Ke raising his hand to pass the ball, and the direction was aimed at Marcus.

This also further confirms Woodson's conjecture and prediction.

It's another San Francisco 49ers' signature offensive pattern. In the last season's games, Lu Ke repeatedly took half a step ahead of the tactical arrangement, with a smart running route arrangement, greatly mobilized the defenders, and then completed the advancement through the simplest and most direct passing route.

Through the video of the game, Woodson has taken it to heart. This time, he won't miss it.

After the center of gravity was completely reversed, Woodson's pupils suddenly contracted violently, and Lu Ke withdrew!

Between the lightning and flint, Lu Ke stepped up and rushed forward to the right, and when his hand fell, the rugby ball was simply passed neatly, drawing a rainbow arc, and strongly crossed the position where Marcus was.

"Fooled!"

That's the only thought in Woodson's mind, the pass target is not Marcus, it's Logan! Damn it!

Woodson forcibly adjusted his center of gravity for the second time, but his center of gravity had completely changed just now, and now he couldn't help but stagger on his feet, he held the ground with his hands in great embarrassment, and even crawled and ran back to his feet, and rushed towards Logan, but by this time the distance between the two men had been more than five yards.

……

Logan was sprinting hard, fifteen, twenty, twenty, thirty...... The whole run was strong and powerful, and when the footsteps had reached the expected position, he braked suddenly, turned one hundred and eighty degrees, raised his head, and stared at the flying rugby.

According to the arc and rhythm of the flight of the rugby, he took two steps forward, squatted a little bit of the center of gravity, and then as if hugging a watermelon, with a "bang", the rugby fell into his arms -

Lu Ke's passing touch still did not reach 100%, and this time the pass of about 28 yards was still a little shorter, and the arc was also a little lower. But that didn't stop Logan from receiving the ball, which was incredibly easy without any defenders, and then he turned around again, shook off the approaching Woodson, and accelerated a second time.

As soon as he turned around, Bonnet's figure had already pounced.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, but Logan didn't panic at all, a quick stop dodge, clearly saw Bonnet's hard work but pounced, only had time to grab the collar of his jersey, Logan at this time another afterburner speed, a slight flick, the whole person Bonnet was thrown out, and then the speed began to increase.

Running! Running! Running!

That's the only thought in Logan's mind, it's already a flat race ahead, and as long as you run as hard as you can, then it's a touchdown.

But Logan's speed has not had time to fully increase, after the emergency stop just thrown away, the acceleration still needs to warm up a little, and after sprinting out not far away, a huge force came from under his feet, just like a tackle in football, Logan's whole person was directly overturned, and then fell out of bounds.

Attack, forced to abort.

"Ball protection!" Logan clutched the rugby ball with both hands.
