An unexpected injury disrupted the pace of the game a little, but it was an integral part of competitive sports, and after a brief adjustment, the game was back on track.

After the special service team of both sides came on the court, all eyes fell on David Akens, and the biggest negative impact fell on Akens's shoulders after that accident disrupted the rhythm of the game, but the veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years did not waver, and under the pressure, he steadily kicked the bonus points.

As a result, the score on the field changed again, "10:21", the San Francisco 49ers who were playing away further widened the score and firmly held the initiative of victory in their hands.

The Arizona Cardinals' offensive team that came on next was still struggling; Correspondingly, the momentum of the San Francisco 49ers defensive group is rising, gradually entering the state, one in and one out, the last time of the first half is coming to an end in a dull way-

In just a few minutes, there were a total of four yellow flags, the game was interrupted again and again, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger, and the movements of players on both sides were obviously intense; However, the Cardinals were unable to push through the half, and unfortunately could not close the score before the end of the first half.

After the first wave of attacking battles, the form of the two teams is gradually developing towards different extremes, and everything is reflected in the final score of the first half.

The trend of this focus battle is somewhat unusual, but it cannot be said to be completely unexpected. So, after halftime, will the Cardinals be able to bottom out, or will they continue to fall? Will the 49ers be able to keep the momentum going, or will they get carried away?

When the whistle blew in the second half, Kirk immediately noticed the change on the court, "Patrick Peterson is on the pitch, and the Arizona Cardinals finally sent the biggest contributor to the last win over the San Francisco 49ers!" ”

The Arizona Cardinals were the first to attack in the first half, and the San Francisco 49ers were the first to play in the second half. Correspondingly, the Cardinals' defensive team was on the field, and during the break, the coaching staff made personnel changes, and one of the most shining and eye-catching changes was undoubtedly Pieterson.

In the first half of the game, Peterson still mainly appeared as a special service player, responsible for the counterattack; And also made a appearance in the attack, and the position should be ...... Wide receiver. However, there was almost no chance to perform, and he was completely lost on the court. Now, Pietersen is finally back in the position he knows best and does best, corner-back. ”

"Peterson replaces Jefferson."

"In the first half, Jefferson's defensive state was really worrying, at least two touchdowns were directly in his direction, the problem of defensive misalignment and missed tackles was very obvious, and the San Francisco 49ers made many breakthroughs on this side; Now, after Peterson replaced Jefferson, he still faces a heavy load, with a bombardment from the 49ers. In a way, this will also determine the direction of the game. ”

After Kirk's brief introduction, Teddy's voice rang out at the right time, "In the last matchup, Lu Ke made three interceptions, which was a new career high in a single game, and two of them came from Peterson. So, in this game, does Lu Ke still have the courage to pass the ball in the direction of Peterson? Kirk, what do you think about this? ”

There is no mention of the clash between the two teams off the field, as it does not represent the official position of ESPN, and gossip is avoided as much as possible; But taking the initiative to mention this incident still awakened the audience's memory - the lively and vigorous battle on Twitter can be said to be known to everyone.

"Lu Ke VS Pietersen", the second half of the game suddenly became exciting.

"I'm not Lu Ke, so I can't make an accurate prediction." Kirk's half-joking response made Teddy chuckle.

Later, Kirk gave his opinion seriously, "Personally, I don't think it will have an impact. As a quarterback, Lu Ke is not the kind of player who is afraid of challenges and confrontations; At the same time, his passing style is known for being bold and risk-taking, and if he is afraid of interception, the starting quarterback who is now standing on the court may have to be replaced. ”

"It sounds very reasonable, but we'll just have to wait for the game to come up with an answer." Teddy nodded in affirmation, "The duel in the second half is about to start." ”

Standing on the court, Patrick Peterson jumped lightly in place, adjusting his pace and breathing to the rhythm of the game. Compared to the pressure of all the attention, he is now extremely relaxed, full of confidence, and has not been affected in any way, just full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

Peterson is convinced that the situation will never be as dire as he imagined.

In the first half of the encounter, the Cardinals' two cornerbacks became the biggest breakthrough, which allowed the 49ers' passing offense to always complete the three-gear transition at critical moments, but if you think about it seriously, things take on a different look -

Even when cornerbacks became the weak link, the 49ers' offense was repeatedly in trouble; Even if the passing offense successfully opened the game, two of the 49ers' three touchdowns were running touchdowns, and they relied on a flash of inspiration from Marcus, but one can be two; Even if the Cardinals are temporarily on the back foot, it's not so much that the defensive team is doing too badly, but that the offensive team hasn't kept up.

The gap of "10:21" is actually only eleven points, and two waves of attacks can complete the gap of overtaking.

In Peterson's opinion, Lu Ke is still the quarterback who sent three interceptions, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Unlike players in other positions in the defensive set, the duties of a cornerback are relatively simple.

Although defending running backs, raiding quarterbacks, and making up defenses at any time are all part of their defensive tasks, in comparison, defending wide receivers is their number one responsibility, cutting the line between quarterbacks and wide receivers, blocking quarterbacks' passing targets, and cutting off quarterbacks' most important skills.

In a way, the cornerback and quarterback are the natural enemies of the needle.

Lu Ke, who has just entered the league this year and has been shrouded in countless halos above the media, is still the sensational Chinese quarterback in the rookie training camp in Peterson's eyes. From the perspective of the corner guard, he didn't think there was anything special about Lu Ke.

The head-to-head head-to-head in the last game also proved this, with two interceptions, Peterson easily blew up the "Skywalker" who swept the league, completely strangled the running lanes of Ted Jean and Kyle Williams, and even achieved no small results in defending Logan Newman.

Then in this game, he didn't see any problems. In the second half, he will not only complete the interception, but will also put further pressure in the short pass area to cause problems for the opposition's offensive forward, and maybe he will be able to complete the quarterback sack today on the basis of the previous game!

The outcome of this game is still unknown!

As a rookie in the same year, the competition and comparison in my heart inevitably inspired a stronger motivation. For outsiders, they are players representing both teams; But for themselves, they are still newcomers from the same draft, and they are bound to compete in all directions.

Peterson can't wait to prove his worth now!

Slowly, Peterson adjusted his center of gravity, prepared for defense, and his eyes fell on the 14th behind the offensive line, staring intently, and strongly announcing his shining debut; Then, the gaze shifted to Logan Newman and Kyle Williams, who were defending against their own position.

Patrick Peterson, the fifth pick in the first round of this year's draft, is 5.94 feet (185 cm) tall and weighs 203 pounds (92 kg).

Pieterson, by contrast, is not the kind of wingback with a huge tonnage, and is an all-round underdog compared to a tight end like Logan, who weighs a whopping 263 pounds (120 kilograms) is two sizes larger than Peterson in height and weight - and it's not for nothing that a tight end always has the upper hand when playing one-on-one with a cornerback.

But the key reason why Pietersen was able to make a first-round cornerback — fellow draft corner back Richard Sherman was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round was because of his strong physicality and the good form he showed in rookie training camp.

In the confrontation with the near end, you can not only form a confrontation, but also make full use of your lightness, jam the position, and complete the defense; As for defending a wide receiver like Williams, who weighs only 186 pounds (84 kilograms), it's even more handy.

After Peterson came on the court, he locked the target on Williams as soon as possible - this time in the offensive formation, the cornerback was still facing the wide receiver, but the corner of sight was always catching Logan's figure, because he knew that on this side, Logan and Williams' mutual dismantling and cooperation was definitely a big weapon in the 49ers' offensive line.

The second half officially began, and the San Francisco 49ers began to attack above the 20-yard line of their own half.

Ten yards in gear.

After the kickoff, Peterson showed an incredibly powerful attack, taking the mystery of aggressive defense to the extreme, taking the initiative, a quick step-up, blocking Williams's running route head-on, and then taking advantage of the "cornerback VS wide receiver", using his height and weight, suddenly attacked without warning, squeezed and bumped, killed Williams by surprise, and knocked the wide receiver out of the sideline before the opponent could react.

War, start!
