902 Tactical Break

Above his own 20-yard line, Lu Ke straightened his waist and looked at the Chicago Bears' defensive formation carefully.

Purely from the perspective of positioning, the Chicago Bears' defensive team has not actually made any adjustments, with four defensive forwards, three linebacks, two corner backs and two safety guards basically completing the positioning according to most of the first half, and completing the layered layout one front after another, like a siege.

But the Chicago Bears' defensive position today has actually been adjusted according to the opponent.

There must be a person on both sides of the lineman who will advance his position slightly, standing between the lineback line and the defensive line, and put on a surprise posture, but it is impossible to predict whether it is a confusing tactic or a real raid, and it is more important to make adjustments according to the actual situation of the defensive group's tactics after Lu Ke kicks off, and may even be a left outside lineback or a right outside lineback, and continue to maintain change.

Not only the two starting corner-backs, but the two corner-backs who rotate often deliberately move their positions inward, and only after the kick-off can you decide whether to defend the zone or the counter, whether to defend the inside or the outside.

In addition, the positions of the two security guards were also significantly compressed. It's not that they have given up the long pass defense, but the defensive strategy is different, they and the two corner backs echo each other to help each other, and after the kickoff, they will cooperate with each other to complete the marking, adjust their defensive positions according to the opponent's offensive strategy, and don't have to worry about leaking people in the backcourt.

In the two touchdowns in the first half of the game, Lu Ke took advantage of the numerical advantage, in the dazzling running route, regarded every player as a passing target, tore apart the blockade of the defense, and finally completed the pass and the follow-up touchdown.

In the second half, the Chicago Bears' defensive position remained unchanged. But in terms of details, it can still be noticed that the entire defensive position has tightened slightly, but I don't know if this is because Cutler's departure has increased the pressure in the front court, or whether it is a smoke bomb that induces Lu Ke to be fooled.

Lu Ke's gaze fell on Charles Tillman.

The in-form Tillman is still the Chicago Bears' best point, his position has moved a little inward, but this is not a big deal, because he is always swaying from side to side, moving inside or outside at any time, and the whole position is between Logan and Jean, and he still doesn't seem to be sure of his defensive target.

Of course, this is only a façade.

Tillman has security guard Chris Conte about four and five yards away from the right back, defensive big man Julius Pipes at about five and six yards in front of the right, and outside guard Lance Bridges about five and six yards away on Tillman's right.

In other words, the Chicago Bears have already laid out the defensive position, and these four players may become members of the opposing defense or zone defense; It is also possible to give up the pass defense and go up quickly and try to surprise the quarterback. In today's game, they showed enough aggression.

So, how should Lu Ke break the game?

It's not just Tillman, cornerback Jim Jennings on the other side isn't a soft persimmon either. In other words, Lu Ke can't deliberately avoid certain alignments, nor does he need to deliberately challenge certain alignments, or he needs to think from a tactical perspective, but whether it's Tillman or Jennings, he must create more space for his passing and receiving.

Objectively speaking, in the first half of the game, Lu Ke did make a breakthrough on Tillman's side, and without using special skills, this is undoubtedly an important progress; But if he needs to make a further breakthrough, he needs to try more. Isn't now the best time to "upgrade" with a lack of experience in crisis situations?

If the Chicago Bears defense team knew that Lu Ke used them as bosses to level up, their faces would be very bad.

But Lu Ke is not messing around, nor is he doing anything, he still adds insurance for himself-

"Bullet Time".

After announcing the kick-off, Lu Ke immediately used his special skills, and his eyes began to look at him quickly like a falcon.

The first second.

Lu Ke scanned the whole field while quickly retreating, and he could clearly see the waves of air from the defensive front line joining forces to rush forward.

In the confrontation between Piper and Boone, he continued to provoke Boone, babbling trash talk, and could not capture specific details between the electric flashes, but it could be seen that Boone could not stand up for himself in the confrontation, and was retreating step by step, although he tried his best, Pipers's absolute ability was still superior.

Seeing that Lu Ke's right pocket was about to be torn, Pipers suddenly stepped back and left Boone, which was a tactic of pretending to raid the quarterback, and then he took a horizontal step to the outside, blocking Marcus's slot running route like a mountain, making a prediction in advance, cutting off Marcus's possibility of catching the ball.

At the same time, Tillman and Bridges have both completed the lateral movement on the outside, Tillman vs. Logan, Bridges vs. Jean, the two sets of opposing defenses immediately stuck in position, which also allows Conte to continue to retreat, and then move closer to the center, like a hunter, waiting for a fish to slip through the net.

So, what about the left side?

Rather than a misplaced defense on the right, the left side is a regular opposition defense, with cornerback Jennings against Crabtree and safety guard White against Vernon.

But the trap is also on the left.

The four defensive forwards deliberately spread out, isolating San Francisco 49ers center Jonathan Goodwin and staring at central lineback Brian Urlah, which allowed Urah to stay in place and run the ball without a collision — if he didn't run the ball, Urach would be able to help defend in the short pass area, and stunned to pull Gudwin's role out of the game.

The four defensive forwards correspond to the four offensive forwards on the left and right flanks, and all of them are stuck in position.

It was in this situation that the perimeter on the left, Blake Constanzo, was free, and after a lateral move missed the rushing Vernon, he had already bypassed the offensive line and rushed towards the pocket.

To sum it up: by misalignment and early initiation, the defensive group is one step ahead of the attacking group and then creates an advantage.

If Lu Ke chooses to run the ball, then Pipers will definitely not retreat, and with Urach, they will be able to stop the loss in time; If Lu Ke chooses to pass, they will be the first wave of impact, and the meticulous second-line defense will be the second hurdle, while Urah and Pipers can also help defence.

Overall, the Chicago Bears still believe that the San Francisco 49ers will choose the passing tactics and the overall defensive focus

The Chicago Bears once again showed their attacking power on the defensive side!

The second second.

Lu Ke completed the retreat step, and quickly moved sideways to the right side without hurrying, taking the lead in opening up the distance from Constanzo, who was attacking from the front, but he still didn't rush to pass the ball, and called out repeatedly, "Boone!" Boone! ”

Boone heard Lu Ke's call.

Because of Pipers's sudden retreat, Boone is now an idle player, he is adjusting his focus, and then the whole person is a little foggy - he can't see the whole picture, and naturally he doesn't understand his current situation, but the usual tactical training and tacit training are showing effect at this time.

Boone didn't understand what was going on, but reflexively, he quickly backed away in the direction of the sound source - the silence in the Candlestick Field helped a lot, allowing Boone to tell the way.

After the adjustment, he stood on Lu Ke's left hand side, and Lu Ke continued to adjust his body in small horizontal steps to the right, Boone immediately understood, looked to the left, and then saw Constanzo who was flying over, he turned around and immediately faced Constanzo, like a dike, intercepting the oncoming flood.

Half a beat slower, the "idle" Goodwin also realized the change and quickly stepped back, further disrupting Constanto's forward momentum.

After Lu Ke finished calling, he didn't pause, and quickly looked ahead, looking for a passing gap.

The third second.

The entire right-hand area has become extremely bloated, and the three receivers of Logan, Jean and Marcus are continuing to push towards the middle pass area; Three defenders, Pipers, Bridges and Tillman, were also defending in close quarters, and what appeared to be a zone defense formation instantly turned into a counterpoint defense.

At the same time, Kante, who is sitting in the backfield, is also moving towards this time, because he saw Lu Ke's moving footsteps, and it is obvious that the pass should be in this direction; In addition, Urach, who was free, was also stepping back to join the defense of the short and middle pass areas.

Logan is close to the outside, Jean is in the middle, and Marcus is close to the inside.

Logan was coming to a halt and spinning, Jean was continuing to lunge forward, and Marcus was pulling laterally inside.

The entire running line was in full bloom like a blooming flower, which forced the Chicago Bears' defense to open up gaps, and the chaos was becoming clear.

At this moment, Lu Ke raised his right hand and made a passing gesture in the direction where Logan was.

Logan's entanglement with Tillman is still airtight, but just now, Logan made an emergency brake and killed a return pistol, which instantly opened the distance between him and Tillman, and won himself a space of about two yards to catch the ball.

Tillman sounded the alarm all over his body, because he knew how accurate Lu Ke's shadow pass was behind his shoulder, he was now out of position, and as long as Logan himself didn't make a mistake, he could jam the space and complete the catch.

Damn it!
