168 Tactical Intelligence
The whole Candlestick Stadium is boiling!
The gloom and depression of the first half were swept away, everyone was cheering and shouting wantonly, and the continuous long passes were successful, which severely damaged the confidence of the Cowboys and boosted the morale of the 49ers. At this moment, as if they had won the game, they were frantically venting all their grievances and frustrations.
But off the court, the 49ers' offensive team didn't celebrate, including Logan, who had just completed a brilliant push. Everyone gathered together again and began to listen to Lu Ke's tactical arrangements.
"Vernon Davis is on the court!" In the Fox studio, Kirk exclaimed, "It's wide receiver Kyle Williams instead!" The 49ers are going to use a two-close forward strategy next! β
The wide receiver is flexible and light, and the proximal edge is strong and heavy; The wide receiver runs in a variety of routes, and the close end forward's route is relatively simple, and it is more about opening the way with force. Generally speaking, league teams tend to have a "three outside and one near" permutation, which increases the flexibility of the receiver group and enriches the running routes.
Now, with the San Francisco 49ers fielding a two-close forward strategy, is there going to be a strong matchup in the short and mid pass areas?
Vernon was full of question marks.
Vernon and Lu Ke are not on the same page, and the whole team knows it; What's more, running backs may be rotated, different styles of running backs can be played, and the combination of wide receivers is even more ever-changing, but the overall style of the near end is similar, and generally speaking, the starting near end is the same as the starting quarterback, and will not be easily replaced.
In the first wave of attack in the second half, under Lu Ke's strong request, the team replaced Vernon and sent Logan. As a result, Logan really completed a touchdown and was in good shape, when Vernon kicked over the kettle next to him and vented his frustration.
But now, why did Lu Ke ask him to play? Isn't Lu Ke worried that he deliberately dropped the ball, or deliberately missed the ball and caused trouble for the team?
Questioning, he walked onto the field, and Vernon stood by, listening to the tactics, and was chewing carefully, when he heard a call, "Vernon, are you sure you can get the ball?" If not, you and Logan swap roles, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. β
Lu Ke arranged for Vernon to catch the ball instead of Logan. This is not an easy decision.
First, he needs the team's firepower to be turned on, otherwise once Logan is locked, then he will be helpless; Second, Logan has completed two long passes in a row, and the security guard is bound to strengthen the defense, and Logan needs someone to distract him; Third, Lu Ke didn't care if Vernon liked him, compared to personal grudges, what Lu Ke needed was victory. Only victory!
In this tactic, two close forwards were chosen, one for blocking and one for receiving the ball. As Lu Ke said, if Vernon intends to make trouble, then he can arrange for Vernon to dismantle and Logan to complete the catch.
Vernon didn't have time to think deeply, only to feel that all his teammates cast contemptuous glances, as if questioning his butter hand in the first half, not only his character, but also his ability. You know, before Logan, he was the biggest star of the team of receivers! So, angrily blurted out the words, "Grass! If you can pass it, I will receive it! β
"Good!" Lu Ke answered cleanly, then ignored Vernon and looked at his teammates again, "Do you still have questions?" If not, the game begins! β
All of Vernon's complaints and curses were choked in his throat and began to line up with all his heart. Is this a trap or not? What the hell did that guy have in mind?
Ignoring Vernon's muttering and muttering, his teammates are still more trustworthy on the court than the Cowboys' opponents. He had to give it a go and try to trust Vernon for once. And if it fails? That's a failure. A first-gear offense, he can afford to gamble!
Lu Ke stood in the pistol formation, although he and Jim Hubble reached a consensus, this attack is still a pass, today's running is not in good shape, and he must surprise in order to slowly open up the situation; But he still started to read about defense seriously.
Very good. The Cowboys got scared, and they changed their defensive formation again.
After halftime, the Cowboys' defense team was in a state of flux, unable to defend even a first-gear offense except for a sack; Moreover, the 49ers' offensive team had the help of God, and the first offense completed a touchdown in just four gears, and the first pass in the second offense pushed through the half.
Such a ability is really terrifying.
What's more, the Cowboys still haven't figured out a solution. The advantage of the passing defense has been lost, and they are now completely unsure of the tactical arrangement of the opposing quarterback. How so? In the first half and the second half, the quarterback looked like two very different people!
After dropping the long yardage pass since then, the Cowboys have changed their defensive formation.
In the second-tier area, two safety guards covered the second half of the field; The two corner-backs are noticeably backward and stand at the front of the middle pass area, advancing to help with short passes, and backward to help with long passes.
In the first line, the defensive formation has changed to a "4-3" formation, and the biggest difference from the first half is that the defensive front line has four players, which increases the intensity of the raid, because they have to put pressure on the quarterback, and they can't let him calmly arrange tactics, execute tactics, and complete passes.
Lu Ke can catch the weak defense in the short pass area, and smell a god-sent opportunity under his nose,
"Prepare to ......" Lu Ke stretched out the last note, his pupils contracted slightly, catching the trend of the body shaking of the players in the defensive group, and since then he shouted, "Prepare to ......" The three-dimensional map of the entire stadium appeared vividly in his mind, and then he ordered, "Attack!" β
Jonathan Goodwin completed the tee, and after Lu Ke received the football with both hands, the entire offensive front line did not move, and rushed forward fiercely, colliding head-on with the defensive front line of the Dallas Cowboys, "Bang! Bang bang! The dull sound exploded like firecrackers.
On the left-hand side, two wide receivers; On the right-hand side, two close forwards attack at the same time.
Interestingly, the two wide receivers had the same running route, like a dog's tail grass, with the front section being buried in the front row, and the speed of the 40-yard sprint was maximized; Arriving at seven yards, Ted Jean stopped first, followed the dog's tail grass to the left drooping head, ran a little back, and made a small half-circle, while Michael Crabtree continued on until he reached fifteen yards, and followed Jean and drew a gourd back around the ground.
What's even more interesting is that the two close forwards also run on the same path, looking like the other side of the mirror, exactly the same as the two wide receivers, with the first half of the race being a 40-yard sprint, then a pause, a turn, and a circle. It was Logan Newman who stopped first, and then Vernon Davis.
The four players were very strong in their scattered running routes and vertical striking ability, and the Dallas Cowboys' zonal defense strategy was completely broken, and they could only follow the man-to-man defense, with the corner guard defending the one who stopped first, and then the safety guard rushed forward and stopped after the defense.
The change was here, and unconsciously, the two linebackers also pulled in the direction of Logan's run.
Because Logan's pause is about five or six yards, almost behind this lineback, the seemingly empty short pass area is actually heavily guarded; But on the other hand, only five of the seven players in the Cowboys' first line remained, and the intensity of the raid suddenly softened.
"Raise your hand, pass the ball, Newman ran out of gap, oh, it's not Newman, it's Davis! Vernon Davis! β
Troy exclaimed, he could even really feel the panic of the Dallas Cowboys players on the court, all four players faced one-on-one defense, relatively speaking, they all had a certain amount of space to catch the ball, and Lu Ke chose the right side, but it was not his old partner Logan Newman, but Vernon Davis, who caused the interception in the first half.
"The Cowboys' defensive strength was chaotic, the 49ers' offensive front line was very powerful, not leaky, and the protection of the entire pocket was very solid, giving Lu Ke enough time to observe and pass, but Lu Ke's passing was very fast! It's a ...... Twenty yard passes, wow! Twenty yards, Lu Ke completed a bold pass of twenty yards again! Vernon Davis gets the pass! Davis spun around and started running with the ball! β
Not a short pass, but a long one!
Troy wanted to see when Lu Ke passed the ball, but it was too late, and Vernon Davis began to break through.
"Now there's only Danny McRae left on this side of the Cowboys' backcourt. It's Danny McRae again! Davis accelerates, accelerates again, a stop-and-turn, a nice turn! Wow, turning around, McRae missed the takedown, he couldn't stop Davis' breakaway, twenty yards, fifteen yards...... No one could keep up, the Cowboys' defense was completely unbalanced, and the nearest player was a full twenty-five yards away and couldn't catch up...... Ten yards, five yards, Davis even slowed down, but still easily completed the touchdown! Touchdown! β
After Troy finished speaking, he was stunned, blinked, and then reacted: The San Francisco 49ers actually completed a touchdown again? At the start of the second half, the offensive team came on twice and scored two touchdowns, which is really appalling!
There was a burst of exclamations in the Fox studio, but the voices of Kirk and Teddy seemed so insignificant, because the entire Candlestick Stadium exploded, and all the fansβall the home fans, were standing, jumping, and shouting, and the sound of the mountains and tsunamis was shaking the stadium, and even the sound of the wind whizzing by seemed insignificant.
"Two gears, two passes, 100 per cent success, one thirty yards, one twenty yards, touchdown, done!" Kirk exclaimed into the microphone, at this moment, any words seemed too pale, just a list of data, which was enough to express the shock and surprise in his heart.
The touchdowns came too quickly and too easily, it seemed like it was just a walk in the middle of a walk, with a total of six shifts, four passes, one run, and one tackle, and then two touchdowns, and more importantly, almost no time wasted, the speed and efficiency of the whole offense was too intimidating!
