1680 Striking West
This is Lu Ke's third season in the NFL, and the third consecutive season to reach the National League finals, which also means that he is no longer a rookie, and the entire league knows him enough: calm, wise, bold, resolute, tough, Lu Ke's style of play can often continue to put pressure on the defensive group, but Lu Ke's real killer is still his mind, that is, the game of the overall layout.
The permutation and combination between tactics and tactics, step by step to put pressure on the defensive group for the camp, and finally find a breakthrough, even in the face of the league's top defense, Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, and Arizona Cardinals, Lu Ke can always tear open the gap to complete the offensive push.
Not to mention veteran analytical commentators like Kirk Charleston, even the average fan knows this very well.
In the four shifts of attack since the opening of the National League finals, Lu Ke chose two ground rushes and two quick short passes, and the whole tactics are simple and ordinary, crisp and neat, and it seems that all the complex and diverse offensive tactical systems of the West Coast have been brought together, simplified, and shown a new look.
But everyone knows that things are definitely not that simple, and Lu Ke is obviously laying out; The problem is that no one can see through Hubble's tactical intentions, and no one can decipher Lu Ke's on-the-spot changes, and this chess game is still shrouded in clouds and fog, and you need to wait patiently.
So, what is Lu Ke calculating?
Ten yards in gear.
Frank Gower came on to rotate Marcus Lynch, and Lu Ke handed the rugby ball to Gower and returned to the ground again, choosing to run back to rush the ball.
The entire offensive front line took the initiative to meet the front, trying to intercept the forward rush of the defensive front, but this time, the defensive group was more well prepared, staggered the position, and at the same time as Goyle rushed forward, it was already intercepted to his left side, although the offensive group also moved to the right to form a counterpoint, but the electric light and flint were still half a beat slower after all.
Not only was the defensive forward line already positioned on the road ahead of time, but the linebacks and corner-backs were also very fast, showing an excellent sense of defence, and when Goyle's footsteps crossed the tee line and cut into the crowded area, the deep blue sea had already formed a breakthrough, directly swallowing Goyle, and the ground was only two yards away.
Although the ground advancement efficiency is average, Lu Ke didn't care at all, when Goyle stepped up, his eyes continued to interpret the running route and reaction speed of the defensive players, from the defensive forward to the lineback to the "blast legion", after the actual battle, you can see the real situation that cannot be recorded in the game video, which is of great help to judge the situation on the field, and he is interpreting the changes in the Seattle Seahawks' defense.
Kem Chancellor could feel a scorching gaze projected on, he raised his head and explored the past with his intuition, just in time to see Lu Ke shift his gaze and cast his gaze towards the linebackers not far away, the calm and cold-blooded gaze made Chancellor couldn't help but shudder, constantly reminding himself to "be vigilant and vigilant", the game instinct of the quarterback in front of him was terrifying, and he had to be more vigilant.
Although they all knew that Lu Ke was now making a tactical layout, they had no way to interpret it: on the one hand, because Lu Ke's rhythm was constantly changing, it didn't leave them enough time to think; On the other hand, because of Lu Ke's cunning and changeability, if the defensive team thinks too much, it is easy to step into the trap, and the calculation power cannot keep up with the speed at all...... This made Chancellor a little unhappy, glared at Lu Ke fiercely, and then returned to his position, preparing for the next defense, "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth", and they will die to the end.
Two gears of eight yards.
Standing in the two-by-two offensive formation, Lu Ke quickly retreated and turned around with the ball in both hands, and once again reached out to hand the rugby ball to Goyle, who was walking in a straight line.
Running the ball again?
No, fake run real story!
Lu Ke and Goyle completed a cross-position - Lu Ke continued to step back to find a passing target, while Gower took the initiative to carry out the task.
Goyle joined the attacking forward team with a single step, ready to resist the pressure of the defensive front, but found that the opponent only used a four-man rushing pass tactic, while the five players of the offensive front line accurately formed a counterpoint and did not need support at all, so Goyle took advantage of the situation to drill out of the gap in the middle, and the footsteps immediately appeared in the center of the short pass area.
No man's land!
There was a glaring defensive gap in the Seattle Seahawks' short passing area, why? Because the San Francisco 49ers' running route has changed significantly.
Crabtree, on the outside of the left wing, spurted along the touchline and cut in with all his might towards the mid-pass area, forming one-on-one with corner-back Maxwell.
Salek on the inside of the left flank and Boulding on the inside of the right flank ran a similar course, after rushing forward, he ran a parabola to the inside, and the footsteps quickly converged in the center, but the two men did not cooperate with each other, but advanced towards the deep area according to their own speed, Bording had already rushed out of ten yards away and continued to rush forward, while Salek rushed out of nearly ten yards, and there was a noticeable pause in his forward step.
On the outside of the right wing, Logan, first inside and then outside, continued to move forward in the left and right swings, and then also began to accelerate forward with all his strength along the touchline area.
The common denominator is that all four receivers are running forward, and the distance of five and ten yards is completed in the blink of an eye, and none of them make a pause and hesitation, which also forces the Seattle Seahawks' defense to start backing back to complete the marking.
Then, Goyle appeared.
When Goyle was half-beaten behind in the center of the short pass area, there was no defender in sight within a five-yard radius, and the nearest outside lineback, K-J. Wright, was trying to make up for Boulding-
Because Boulding and Salek's routes converge in the center, the center suddenly becomes crowded, with inside lineback Bobby Wagner and guard Kem Chancellor having to keep up with the marker quickly; Perimeter guard Wright and his partner Bruce Irving needed to make up the defense, with Irving lying across the quarterback and Crabcutrie's passing lane, while Wright followed Bolting to complete the defense.
Wright was the first to spot Goyle, but his center of gravity had shifted with Boulding, and the distance of five yards was as impassable as a moat; Chancellor was the first to react, his center of gravity braking suddenly, ignoring Boulding's line tugging and leaning in the direction of Gower.
At this moment, Chancellor's vision could capture Lu Ke's passing action, which was precisely aimed at Goyle - this was also the third time Lu Ke chose a fast short pass, so his instantaneous explosiveness was fully activated, and the entire speed and strength were pushed to the extreme, rushing forward in the direction of Gower, not to destroy the pass, but to grab and fall to the ground as soon as Goyle completed receiving the ball, and cut off the follow-up advance.
This is the core meaning of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team: they are not seeking to cut it all at once, but to eat away one after another, and they are even willing to take the initiative to release some catches, so that the Bombers can make full use of their size advantage to cut off the continuous advancement after receiving the ball, and spend more energy on each other's blocking and supplementing defenses, and finally strangle all the means of the offensive group little by little.
But in the next second, Qian Sailer couldn't help but want to burst into foul language: because Lu Ke changed his passing action.
With a pause and a twist of his waist, Lu Ke stood in the pocket of the fierce impact of the front, adjusted the passing action in a hurry, shook the judgment of the defensive team with a feint for the second time in a row, and then moved towards his right side, and teleported the rugby ball with a knife in his hand - the passing target was not Gower at all, but ......
Logan Newman!
"Pass! The goal of the pass is ...... Logan Newman! Newman and Richard Sherman formed a counterpoint, and this was Lu Ke's first pass towards Sherman's defensive line in this game! ”
Logan knew that Sherman was aiming at him, and Logan also knew that Sherman would not easily lose his defensive position, so he simply gave up his tricks and forced Sherman to keep up with him in a straight line, and disrupted Sherman's defensive rhythm by shaking his center of gravity.
Sherman is a tall and large cornerback, in terms of technical characteristics, the flexibility is certainly not as good as the short small cornerback, and the absolute speed is not his strongest point, but the confrontation ability and the ability to card the position can stand alone in the league, which also makes him often not really "close" when he is close to the defense, but to open up the space of one yard to one and a half yards or so, to avoid the flexible transposition of the wide receiver to throw off his card position, and at the same time to retain the observation space when marking the position, as long as he captures the opportunity, he can also get rid of the wide receiver in advance, Rely on your own strong body to complete the interception.
It is undeniable that Sherman's sense of crisis and confrontation ability are indeed the top in the league, and this season happens to be his prime, against the league's first-class wide receivers and close ends, he has never fallen behind, and can even gain the upper hand, as long as the opposing quarterback is slightly negligent, Sherman is like a cobra, quickly seize the opportunity, complete a fatal interception, can be called the first place in the dangerous cornerback.
Logan and Sherman are also old rivals, the two sides know each other, Logan made full use of Sherman's defensive habits, and also made full use of his advantage to take the initiative, on the road of straight progress, continue to change his rhythm and center of gravity, and always make a trend of changing the route, forcing Sherman to always be stuck in an uncomfortable rhythm.
Before you know it, five yards! Ten yards! Fifteen yards! The two of them rushed out of the distance for a long time in this way, and then Logan made an emergency braking action with a wrong step to the outside, and instantly threw out the Sherman, who was also following the same pace - the Sherman, who continued to run, was one step away and two yards away, but it was precisely this two-yard space that became the connection space between Lu Ke and Logan.
One turn back, the pass arrives!
