In the thirteenth week of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers played at home against the St. Louis Rams.

Although this is an intra-divisional matchup, and it is the second meeting between two of the league's most historic and ceremonial opponents, after a series of ups and downs, the biggest suspense of this game is:

Can the San Francisco 49ers shake off a two-game losing streak and rediscover their offensive rhythm?

It is also how much energy can the St. Louis Rams burst out to replicate the victory over the New Orleans Saints, they can make Drew Bliss stretched, and naturally Lu Ke can be scrambling?

What's more, the San Francisco 49ers, who have repeatedly made people shine this season, have sunk and become the spoils of giant killers again; Or will it be a turning point to beat an opponent who has not been in good form for the season and find the key to victory again? It's about winning and losing, but it's not just about winning or losing, it's more about the San Francisco 49ers — ignoring the existence of opponents, about Lu Ke — is the rookie quarterback going to be on the slump?

Explosive points, focus, hot spots, it seems that as long as it is a San Francisco 49ers game, there will never be a shortage of hype gimmicks. There's no way, who lets them have the only Chinese-American quarterback in the league?

After the opening, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team announced their recovery after a 100% offensive success rate and a strong touchdown; Then, the San Francisco 49ers defense went out with a crisp strikeout, leaving no breathing room for the opponent, and as soon as they came on the court, they sent the opponent's offensive team off the court and set the stage again, waiting for their quarterback to shine.

Clearly, both the attacking and defensive groups have taken on a new look, showing very different forms, and the team has shown a united determination from top to bottom, seemingly unaffected by the two consecutive defeats. With such 49 people, the powerful aura is really terrifying.

So, what about Lu Ke's performance next? Will it be able to continue the strength of the first wave of the attack? Will you be able to find the right balance between stability and risk-taking, and lead the offensive team to keep going? Also, can you break the rookie wall and show a higher level of competitive form?

In addition to their lack of experience, lack of time, lack of accumulation, and in addition to their unsatisfactory interpretation of the playbook, there is also a more important reason: their instability.

This is the case with most rookie players, who may have delivered an epic MVP-level performance in one game, but then completely disarmed and surrendered in the next game; Maybe in this quarter of the game, you will be able to take what you want and kill the Quartet, and in the next quarter of the game, you will not be able to find the north at all.

At the same time, there is also a lack of change in the rhythm of their game, once they encounter a heavy blow, such as continuous interception, such as continuous defeat, they will suddenly fall into a helpless trap, as if they have no feeling at all, helpless, like headless flies, always spinning in place.

A loss was followed by an avalanche-like losing streak.

That's true for young players, it's true for young teams. The ups and downs, the ups and downs, have never been able to maintain a consistent competitiveness, and this has been the case with both rookies and young players throughout the long season. This is true for team sports such as football and basketball, and rugby is no exception.

The reason why Kurt Warner is legendary and what makes Tom Brady magical is that after they first appeared on the stage, they showed a veteran and stability that did not conform to rookies and young people, and continued their wonderful performances to key moments, to the grand stage, and to achieve fame.

The same is true for Lu Ke this season.

Before the two consecutive defeats, Lu Ke's high-frequency performance was eye-catching, and the consistent output lasted for a full ten weeks, including the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles; But against the Arizona Cardinals, Lu Ke failed to score a passing touchdown for the first time of the season and made three interceptions, and his performance hit rock bottom, and the whole consistency and smoothness/both suffered a break.

So what about this game?

After the first wave of attacks, the eyes fell on Lu Ke again.

"With a short pass, Lu Ke found Vernon Davis and completed a six-yard advance."

"Short pass again, this time it's Vernon Davis, after receiving the ball from five yards, pushing, Vernon is still pushing forward, Logan is done with the pick-and-roll cover, wow, sprint, keep sprinting...... It was a sixteen-yard push. ”

"Run, Marcus Lynch managed to run a six-yard run, and now the San Francisco 49ers' entire offensive rhythm seems to be turned on."

"Beautiful! Michael Crabtree's catch was so beautiful that he almost just flicked it with his fingertips and then made it with one hand! God, the group of receivers who have almost disappeared from the field in the last two weeks are finally back, and they are in great shape, almost how they play, how they pass! ”

"Can it be believed? After the opening, Lu Ke made six passes and six hits, and the pass hit rate was 100%! God, this performance is really full fire, and the St. Louis Rams' defensive catches seem to be a little bit out of line. ”

"It's a long pass...... No, short passes! In the crowd, Logan Newman and Vernon Davis switched positions, and finally Newman completed the catch, Davis completed the dismantling, and the two-close end tactic was really successful. ”

"Wait, the advance is not over yet, Newman is still advancing, Vernon and Crabtree are both escorting and continuing to advance! Thirty yards, twenty yards, ten yards...... fell, the St. Louis Rams' defensive team finally completed the key defense when they entered the red zone, which was really thrilling, and if it was half a beat slower, Newman would continue to rush into the end zone to harvest a touchdown! ”

"The pass was not completed, the Rams increased their defensive intensity in the red zone, this is this game, Lu Ke's first pass was not completed, Ted Jean was about to complete the reception, the defender was completely stuck in position, clean defense, avoided the second touchdown, but the 49ers still have two offensive opportunities."

"Roar, roar, touchdown, this is another touchdown, who would have thought that at the critical moment, Lu Ke found Marcus Lynch with a fake running pass, this running back, has completed four receiving touchdowns this season, even surpassing Vernon Davis and Kyle Williams two receivers, Jesus Christ, what is going on? Did the running back switch to a cameo as a wide receiver? ”

"Now, the first quarter is just over the game...... Well, at 9:33, the San Francisco 49ers at home had already taken a two-touch lead with a two-touch field lead. What's even more terrifying is that in the San Francisco 49ers' current offense, the passing offense is nine out of ten, and the pass is 119 yards; On the other hand, the run-and-ball offense has also advanced by twenty-nine yards. ”

"Terrible, the offensive efficiency of the San Francisco 49ers is really terrible! Is this the same attacking team that has been mired in mistakes for the past two weeks? What has happened in the past week? ”

It's not just the narrators who are asking this question, but everyone in front of the TV is asking the same question. In just one week, the San Francisco 49ers have been reborn and revitalized, and it's all amazing and amazing.

By the end of the first half, the commentators knew it was going to be a win, and a slaughtering one, not only because the San Francisco 49ers' offense was on fire, but also because the San Francisco 49ers' defense was just as powerful.

In the first and second quarters, the 49ers defense made one steal and one drop and contained the opponent's run-and-run offense to a single digit of nine yards; On top of that, there was a quarterback sack, four hasty passes, and seven effective tackles to the receiver.

All of this adds up to a set of stats: the St. Louis Rams only managed to get two first strikes in the entire first half, and they didn't even get through the half, struggling in their own half, seemingly stuck in quicksand.

Naturally, the Rams failed to score in the first half, and there was not even a glimmer of hope of scoring, which was the real fatal blow, and the second-year quarterback Sam Bradford of the Rams was simply confused.

Last year's No. 1 rookie at the conference, Bradford entered the league with high expectations, winning the 2008 Heisman Award and showing great physical condition and passing touch in training camp – he was a traditional pocket quarterback and von Derrick scored 36 on the test.

After entering the league, Bradford did not disappoint, breaking a string of records in his rookie season.

First, it broke Peyton Manning's rookie season record for attempted passes and the number of passes completed; He then became only the third quarterback, after Payton Manning and Matt Ryan, to play 16 games in the regular season and complete a 3,000-yard pass in his rookie season.

Although the Rams didn't make the playoffs, Bradford was undoubtedly the Offensive Rookie of the Year.

In the midst of much anticipation, Bradford's second season has been plagued by ankle injuries, with intermittent performances and good and bad performances. However, the performance in the first half of this game was a disaster, Bradford and his offensive team were completely at a loss, as if it was not the San Francisco 49ers standing opposite, but the Baltimore Crows, and the airtight defense completely overwhelmed them.

For the St. Louis Rams, the offensive group did not see any improvement, and the entire first half was spent in a state of confusion; And the defensive group can't stop an effective confrontation, just look at a set of stats -

In the first half, the San Francisco 49ers dropped just once. In other words, except for that abandonment, as long as Lu Ke is standing on the field, the team will be able to score.

That's the best proof of this, the total collapse of the St. Louis rams, and then ...... Then the first half was over. All the commentators decided that it would be a hearty victory for the San Francisco 49ers.
