Before the start of the last division game of the American League, industry professionals are generally optimistic about the San Francisco 49ers to win, but objectively from the perspective of strength comparison, there is bound to be a fierce showdown between the two sides, especially the league's second-ranked defensive group against the offensive group led by Lu Ke.

However, the real process of the game surprised everyone, and only the first half had opened an insurmountable huge point difference. The performance of the Carolina Panthers is really unsatisfactory, which also reminds people of the Cincinnati Tigers and the Kansas Chiefs two teams -

The playoffs are different after all, the excitement of a single knockout game is even more prominent, the atmosphere, emotions, pressure, etc. are all another level, the game is another story, even the veterans who have been fighting for many years may not be able to play well, not to mention the rookies who stand on the stage of the playoffs for the first time, may not be able to play half of their original strength, and may suddenly not play, so that those games that are originally downwind balls are simply completely spent, and the whole court is enlightened, I don't even know what I've done.

Mindset and condition, that's very, very important for the playoffs.

Faced with a disparity of "7:38", the second half began.

First up was the Carolina Panthers offensive group.

After the rest and adjustment in the midfield locker room, Cam, who appeared again, began to cheer up, showing his big heart, and his state improved significantly, from reading defense to tactical execution gradually became clear, not only reading options to attack, but also making a qualitative leap in technical links such as pocket footwork and passing feel.

In the first block of the second half, the Carolina Panthers' offensive front line was once again severely squeezed and pulled, and Cam took the initiative to run out of his pockets with his legs in the midst of the sackle crisis, and finally completed a 23-yard long pass to successfully connect with the close end Craig Olsen.

This long pass blow also made the Bank of America stadium cheer boiling!

Next, Cam passed and ran, and the whole situation gradually opened up in the chaotic confrontation, although the pressure of the San Francisco 49ers defense team only increased, Cam was always able to rely on his legs to find the gap-

That's the strength of a running quarterback, and Cam's strong body allows him to outperform the defensive team in a number of physical tests, such as his 10-yard sprint speed compared to the likes of Aldon Smith, Navoro Bowman, and Ahmed Brooks of the San Francisco 49ers, which also gives Cam more possibilities in the agile offense.

Faced with a three-gear dilemma twice, Cam used his legs to run with the ball, and forcefully completed the first attack transition, so that the offensive momentum continued.

The Carolina Panthers' offensive momentum continued to the 27-yard line of the San Francisco half, when they were forced to stop by a strikeout. The problem was still Cam's pass, under the continuous pressure of the defensive front, there were two outrageous pass arcs out of control, which directly led to the pass not being completed, and finally fell to four gears and eleven yards, and had no choice but to try free kicks, but could not go further.

Despite this, the Carolina Panthers' attacking team has seen a significant increase in form and competitiveness, which has also led to praise in the studio, looking forward to the second half of the game to form a confrontation and let people witness a good matchup.

But...... Joy didn't last long, kicker Graham Garneau's 44-yard free-kick attempt, a little hastily in the San Francisco 49ers' Secret Service, drew a full parabola, flew towards the top of the right post, hit the post hard, flew outside, and failed to score.

"Whew!"

The 70,000 home fans gasped en masse, this was definitely an unforeseen situation, and after a lot of hard work, they finally found a scoring opportunity, but the result was ...... missed, that kind of frontal blow really made people feel a kind of powerless despair, and the exclamation rushed out uncontrollably.

Garneau hugged his helmet in despair, squatting down on his knees, not knowing what to do.

This missed free-kick not only failed to score to close the gap, but also gave the opponent the opportunity to attack directly from the 27-yard line, and the chances belonging to the Carolina Panthers are dimming little by little, and even the home fans are a little discouraged and unsustainable.

And what about Lu Ke?

Lu Ke still did not relent, but went further and began to try different tactical permutations and combinations:

He opened up the game with a series of short passes, using a mid-pass and five runs to contain the defense, and the whole offensive tempo was significantly quickened while maintaining the initiative of continuous variation, opening up the offensive situation in an all-round way, in addition to the two wide receivers and two close forwards in the start, the substitute wide receivers also came on one after another, including Vernon Davis, who was out for five weeks due to a concussion.

Obviously, the San Francisco 49ers have already started training for the next game - the league's second-ranked defensive group as a training opponent is definitely a luxury, it can be said to be arrogant and arrogant, and it can even be said to be a humiliation; But the irrefutable fact is that the defensive team led by Kikley did not keep up with Lu Ke's rhythm changes.

In the face of the arrogance and rudeness of the visiting team to use different tactical permutations and combinations to carry out "training", the home team's defensive group was highly focused, firmly seized the opportunity, and even improved its competitiveness in the fierce confrontation, which made the entanglement between the two sides strong and violent, and it can be clearly perceived that the advance efficiency of the San Francisco 49ers has slowed down, and they have fallen into a three-gear dilemma many times, and the rules of the Carolina Panthers defensive group have gradually come out.

Unfortunately, it was still a breath of air after all - the Carolina Panthers were still unable to stop the opponent after all, and after more than six minutes, Marcus once again carried the ball to the ground and advanced two yards, scoring his second rushing touchdown of the game to end the attack.

Even the amateur fans who watched the excitement, even the hardcore fans who fully supported it, can see that the trend has turned:

Missed a free-kick and scored another touchdown. Between this in and out, up and down, it is not only the score number that has opened up the distance again, but also the spirit of the two sides.

Obviously, the Carolina Panthers are out of order. Now the defensive group is still gritting its teeth to form a confrontation and refuse to surrender; But the overall rhythm and strength have been out of order, more with a brute force in unreasonable confrontation, and occasionally may be able to burst out in an instant with a stunning defense, but there is no way to be coherent, the overall situation is losing one after another, and all efforts are just dying in an irreparable predicament.

One after another, there have been fan withdrawals at Bank of America Stadium – albeit only a minority, very, very minority, but it is happening.

It's a playoff game that sees the Carolina Panthers return to the playoffs after a few years and Cam Newton's first playoff appearance, and it's still a season to celebrate and encourage for home fans, at least they've shown upward momentum.

But again, it was a playoff game, a playoff game that would decide the end of the season, and the performance of the Carolina Panthers was a shame for the home fans, and a shame not tasted in years, and the humiliation of being crushed by an opponent on their home turf was unacceptable.

If it weren't for the playoffs, I'm afraid the scene would have already begun to exit in large numbers; But even in the playoffs, there are still some home fans who can't continue to endure it, and choose to leave the game early, refusing to sit in the Bank of America Stadium and continue to suffer, even if the fourth quarter of the game has not started, and even anger can't be raised, from scolding and scolding, to helplessness and helplessness are left in the end.

After all, the fans who left the stadium were still a sporadic minority, and the home fans still held on to the last glimmer of hope, cheering for the team hoarsely, hoping that they could at least play some beautiful offense, and even if they lost, they could honestly say that they had worked hard to the end - after all, their quarterback was the top pick in 2011, and he was absolutely the pride of the sky, and he could never easily lower his arrogant head, right?

In the midst of such a dilemma, Cam came back to the pitch and started attacking from the 24-yard line of his own half.

In the first ten yards, running back Mike Tolbert continued to push through the encirclement, and finally barely advanced by one yard.

In the second gear of nine yards, San Francisco suddenly launched a surprise attack, and the seven-man rushing pass tactic instantly tore through the pocket protection, forcing Cam to throw the rugby out in a panic in a hurry, and the passing arc was very outrageous, and he didn't give the passing target any chance to try to catch the ball and went directly out of bounds.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the third gear and nine yards.

Cam stood in the pocket protection of the offensive front, his chest was rising and falling violently, the emotions in his mind were too turbulent and too complicated to fall into a brief blank, and for a moment he couldn't tell what he was feeling, just a little distracted, let out a long breath, refocused his attention, and then quickly stepped up, facing his teammates and began to lay out tactics, ready to face the difficult situation of third gear.

"I'm the champion. I'm the champion. I'm the champion. ”

In his mind, Cam kept repeating the same words, secretly cheering for himself, he now has no time to worry about Lu Ke's situation, he must focus on himself, regain his confidence little by little, and then show his ability and state, otherwise, this game will become a shame that cannot be washed away in his entire career.

He would never let that happen. Absolute!
