1689 Surprise Attack
"Attack!"
Lu Ke's kick-off command crossed the sky, and it didn't even take a glance to judge the trend from the trend, and the two outside defenders, Malcolm and Erving, both followed their own defensive close end and began to step back and start a close mark; Then, the eye could catch inside lineback Wagner following Marcus and pulling away, while safety guard Chancellor stood motionless and aimed at himself.
is just a panoramic capture of the tee moment, and Lu Ke has already completed the defensive judgment-
Although the Seattle Seahawks formation has changed, the tactical intent has not changed, with Chancellor as the core to cover all contingencies, three linebacks to join the blaster team to complete the pass defense, and finally a four-man rush to assist, basically the same as the previous wave of offense, the biggest difference is that Chancellor's entire defensive position pressed forward, but did not lose his position rashly.
Of course, this is not unusual.
The San Francisco 49ers put on a shotgun formation to pass the ball with all their might, and the Seattle Seahawks met the challenge with their strongest point-for-tat, which is also a natural choice - for the Bomber Corps, Lu Ke is completely on the muzzle, they are absolutely happy to see it, and there is no need to change at all; What's more, inside guard Wagner is alone to guard Marcus and prevent Lu Ke from temporarily changing tactics, which can be described as foolproof.
The Seattle Seahawks relied on their absolute strength to back it up, and it was difficult for the offensive team to escape their coverage area with a small range of formations, so there was no problem with their defensive tactics, and it could even be said that they were clear and clear, seizing the opportunity before Lu Ke kicked off.
But how could the San Francisco 49ers be caught on their toes? Otherwise, wouldn't Lu Ke's defensive reading be useless?
With the kick-off slogan, the San Francisco 49ers' receivers ran a dazzling line of advancement, disrupting the defensive layout with layers of advancement.
On the left wing, Crabtree on the outside and Vernon on the inside completed a short crossover course, and instead of sprinting in a straight line, they ran straight towards each other's line at a 45-degree angle, completing the intersection five yards away, and then Crabtree cut inside and Vernon skimmed outside.
Immediately after that, the course changed slightly, and Crabtree's running line was lifted outward, continuing to push towards the far area, diluting Chancellor's attention in the center; Vernon's running arc inward, began to run back, and instantly shook off Malcolm, the outside guard who was marking him.
On the right wing, Jean on the outside and Logan on the inside both ran towards the central area, as if entering a corner at 200 meters, Logan pushed quickly on the inside and Jean tried to overtake on the outside; At the same time, Marcus, who was standing in the same slot, skimmed a small 30-degree arc to the outside, and after Logan cut inside, Marcus quickly skimmed Logan's initial position and sprinted towards the short pass near the touchline.
A change followed: Logan further retracted his running path and appeared diagonally in front of Chancellor; Marcus turned around quickly and made a catch-and-catch gesture before marking his interior lineback, Wagner; In the end, it was Jean who bypassed Wagner's running route and continued to push towards the far-reaching area.
The entire short pass area then forms four different receiving points:
Logan and Crabtree wrapped up Chancellor, one left and one right, one front and one back, while Wright, the perimeter and cornerback Sherman, who were guarding them, followed behind them, half a step, half a step, half a step from each other, and everyone was trying to make judgment and be wary of their opponents.
At the same time, Vernon and Marcus were two receiving points in the two touchline areas, with Wagner still about three yards away from Marcus and Vernon throwing Malcolm off by about two yards, both of whom were in the best position to pass the ball in the shadow behind their shoulders and be ready to receive the ball at any time.
Although the Seattle Seahawks' passing defense is unique in the league and they have been almost alone this season, they are not invincible! There are still gaps in the staggered integration of individual ability and collective tactics, and these gaps are the quarterbacks' chances to open up the situation.
The question is, can the quarterback see it?
……
Step back!
Lu Ke was adjusting his body posture as he stepped back, and he could see that the Seattle Seahawks defensive front line was exerting tremendous pressure, and they were obviously putting more power into the front line, and just four people rushed to almost break through the pocket protection of the offensive front line.
The pressure is coming!
But Lu Ke's retreat is unhurried, and the precarious offensive front can buy him at least a second, and this mere second is enough!
Between the footstep adjustments, Lu Ke looked at Marcus's running position with the rest of his eyes, and without extra feints to cover, he raised his hand to complete the pass.
He didn't even step up or adjust, he stood still and used the power of his arm swing and wrist adjustment control to push the ball out, and the whole pass was so clean that he even took the shot before the defenders could judge, which also forced the defenders to react.
Wagner's power and speed all burst out, and he sprinted towards Marcus with all his might.
Chancellor, who had not moved for a long time, realized that he was half a beat behind, but he was not worried at all, and shook off Logan's position with a kick and began to cut in.
Even Maxwell reflexively controlled his body, ready to stay where he was and wait for the defense, but in the next second, Maxwell realized that something was wrong.
"Oops!"
Maxwell immediately noticed two things: Jean's continuous forward rush and the change in the arc of the football -
Indeed, Lu Ke's eyes were tightly aimed at Marcus, and then he made a pass, without any feints to cover, and the rugby ball really came out of his hand; But at the moment of the shot, Lu Ke's wrist strength was adjusted, from a 30-degree angle of the right diagonal line to a 45-degree angle of the right diagonal line, and a small change in the angle of incidence formed a huge deviation in the parabolic pull, and then the rugby ball was transmitted towards Jean's position.
The pass target is not Marcus, it's Jean!
Damn it!
Against the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks made small adjustments, with Sherman heading to the opposite position to mark Crabtree and Maxwell switching positions to target Jean.
Because the Seattle Seahawks' defense is dominated by fit positions rather than fit players, although the San Francisco 49ers are currently the most threatening receiver in Logan, they still did not break their defensive rules and used Sherman to defend Logan, but stuck to their original position; The immediate purpose of this switch is that Crabtree's threat is higher than Jean's, who has just returned from injury and whose form and level are a mystery.
As a result, the defensive team also made a targeted adjustment - using the relatively weak Maxwell to play against Jean.
Unexpectedly, the first offense of Jean's return became a passing target, and the empiricism of inertial thinking was really harmful! Did they underestimate Lu Ke or Jean?
Maxwell had no time to complain at this point, and his footsteps started a second time, and he flew towards Jean; But the pause caused by that miscalculation just now, even if it was just a momentary tightening of muscles, the effect was objective, and the distance between Jean and Maxwell was widened to a step or so.
Maxwell's vision has captured the arc of the football, in order to deceive the judgment of the defender, and to be able to send the pass to the expected position, Lu Ke slightly pulled up the arc of the pass, the parabola is obviously more rounded, and the pass landing point is naturally not as accurate as usual, which makes Jean have to jump up to complete the catch, this is Maxwell's chance!
Now it was too late to rely only on his legs to complete the defense - the speed of his feet could not keep up with the speed of the ball, so Maxwell simply jumped on the spot, threw his whole body out, pounced on Jean, stared at the white figure, and pounced hard, only to find:
Flutter in the air!
……
Jean's concentration was kept high, constantly observing the positions of the defenders around him, and moving forward at a constant pace.
Then Jean captured Lu Ke's passing action, because the tactical arrangement did not determine the passing target, every player is a potential passing target, Jean's first reaction was also to think that the passing target was Marcus, but after three seasons of cooperation, Jean has been accustomed to completing the route run according to Lu Ke's arrangement, not only to complete the reception, but also to dismantle and cover for his teammates, those routes are definitely not arranged casually, so Jean still obeys the inertia of the body and continues to move forward.
The next moment, Jean caught the change in the arc of the pass, he immediately caught it with the afterglow of his gaze, and then noticed Maxwell's footsteps paused, followed by a big stride of conditioned reflex, Jean had already pulled the distance between the two sides, and took another big stride, and he had already adjusted his position and was ready to receive the ball.
Advance!
Advance!
Jean continued to maintain a forward posture with small broken steps, the inertia of the constant speed state was still not broken, and then kicked the ground with both feet, and the whole person jumped diagonally in the direction away from Maxwell, raised his hands high, and appeared on the trajectory of the football ball with unmistakable accuracy.
Because Lu Ke chose to pass blindfolded, his power control was also weakened a lot to avoid too many errors, which also allowed Jean to easily control the rugby, and even be able to pay a little attention to Maxwell's position, and then-
Catch!
Jean's hands controlled the rugby, and then he could see Maxwell flying towards him, and he pounced forward, his feet fluttering in the air, and he moved himself forward a little bit, but it was such a small gap that allowed him to shake off Maxwell's inevitable grappling!
