567 The gap widens
Another touchdown.
Teddy and Kirk in the studio have become accustomed to it, and the San Francisco 49ers have scored incredible touchdowns with every offense today, and their excellent form has made their opponents feel desperate, and this time the opponent is the Seattle Seahawks.
Marcus Lynch completed a 17-yard dash touchdown, his third running touchdown of the game, setting a season-high for his third run; It was also the San Francisco 49ers' sixth touchdown of the game, and interestingly, two passing touchdowns, three run-and-ball touchdowns, and one steal return touchdown, which was an atypical San Francisco 49er.
But for Kirk, it's still the familiar 49ers.
Whether it is an interception and a touchdown or a touchdown, in fact, the offensive mode of the San Francisco 49ers has not changed, Lu Ke has always been the core focus of the entire offense, his tactical layout and passing execution seem to have gradually formed his own style, and the entire offensive system is smooth and freewheeling-
The delicate alignment of the short pass and the middle pass area, waiting for the opportunity to assist the long pass sneak attack, completely breaking up the Seahawks' defensive strategy; Then suddenly choose to run the ball, the opposing defensive group is completely overwhelmed, only need one miss or one misalignment, it is easy to lose the large yardage of running ball advancement, and then further destroy the layout of the defensive group.
If you insist on saying that it is different, it is that Lu Ke has been slightly restrained in passing in this game, giving more opportunities to run the ball, basically in a five-to-five situation, and the proportion of passing is only slightly higher. This was also the result of Marcus Lynch's shining moment.
In the first half of the game, Marcus Lynch's performance was still sharp enough, but then Marcus Lynch gradually surpassed his cousin and became the most shining player in the Century Chain Court in this game!
With Marcus Lynch's another touchdown and David Akens' 100% bonus power this season, the score has reached "13:42" in the blink of an eye, a gap of as much as 29 points.
If nothing else, the rest of the games will go into garbage time early.
But this is the Chain Stadium of the Century. The twelve won't give up, and the Seahawks won't give up, because they all know that once they stop here, it means that the hard work and persistence of the whole season will be down the water, and in the first half of the season with two wins and six losses, they have chased seven wins and seven losses, and won a glimmer of hope for a playoff wild card, how can they give up?
As a result, the Seattle Seahawks offensive team, which appeared again, still cheered up and fought to the end!
It was again Marshawn Lynch who stepped up again, the running back shouldering the hopes of the home fans, turning on Beast Mode again, a 48-yard rush, almost a direct touchdown, but unfortunately he was exhausted in the last moments, and was pressed down by three 49ers defenders, but despite this, he managed to take the home team into the free-kick shooting area.
Then the 49ers defense team suddenly came out of force and successfully completed the third gear defense, forcing the opponent into a four-gear four-yard dilemma.
Although the third quarter was five minutes and seven seconds left, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll opted for a desperate gamble, forced fourth gear, and made it clear that he would hand the football to Marshawn Lynch.
Ma Shaun, who was unable to break through in the opponent's strict defense last time, finally lived up to the cheers of the twelve, successfully completed the four-gear conversion and entered the red zone. The entire Century Chain Stadium was already boiling, the screams and roars were completely out of control, and at this moment, everyone witnessed the birth of the "hero"!
It's a pity that there is only one hero. When the weight of the whole team and the whole game is all on the shoulders of one player, even in beast mode, he falters.
In the Red Zone defense, there were strikeouts and four gears again - this time it was four gears and two yards, and it was Marshawn Lynch again, but the San Francisco 49ers did not repeat the mistake of the past, and on the one-yard line in front of the end zone line, they pressed Marshawn to the ground and piled up a mountain of people, not giving an inch.
After the referee's decision, the fourth gear was not completed!
This is the game of one yard on the line, one yard before heaven and one yard after hell. This is an area where both sides must not back down, and this time, the San Francisco 49ers managed to hold on to the victory, while the Seattle Seahawks, who gave it a go, could only swallow the bitter result, which also completely ruined the team's vitality.
So, Ma Shawn Lynch went off the field and Lu Ke played.
Under the watchful eye, Lu Ke, who started to attack on his own one-yard line, did not choose conservative tactics and handed the football to Marcus Lynch as everyone guessed; Instead, he took advantage of a crossover to find Logan with a mid-pass and, with Vernon's pick-and-roll, managed to push for nineteen yards.
Not only did he get the first attack, but he also got out of the danger zone of the red zone in one go.
The San Francisco 49ers offensive team is still in good shape. The next offense, a combination of passing and running, easily pushed through the half, but then Lu Ke's offensive momentum slowed down, and began to consume game time more with middle passes and running advances, which also made the Seahawks' defensive team finally find some rhythm.
After entering the free kick shooting area, Lu Ke ushered in the first strikeout of the game.
It was a 41-yard free-kick attempt, and David Akons safely scored the free-kick as the third quarter officially ended with the score fixed at "13:45".
The third quarter was a watershed moment in the matchup, with the Seahawks scoring a clean sheet and the 49ers scoring seventeen points to widen the gap to a level that was almost impossible to cross. Does this scene remind people of the matchup in the first week of the regular season? And the gap is even greater now than it was then!
The gap in form and quality between the two teams is widening step by step.
The final quarter of the game has lost its meaning, and the 32-point gap is unlikely to be reversed unless the San Francisco 49ers have a collective convulsion up and down, and the Seattle Seahawks need to burst out all up and down.
Perhaps, for the Seahawks, it's a battle for a chance at first; But for the 49ers, the game did go into garbage time.
"There was an update on the game. San Francisco 49ers' starting quarterback Lu Ke has been sitting on the sidelines to rest, while backup quarterback Alex Smith is warming up and preparing to play. What the hell is going on? As soon as possible, the on-site director noticed the changes on the sidelines and reminded the studio, and Teddy immediately reminded the audience.
On the live broadcast camera, Lu Ke was sitting on the sidelines, holding a kettle, his face was relaxed, talking and laughing with Logan and Marcus, Vernon, who was standing not far behind him, also said a few words loudly, and then a group of people around him collectively laughed, and the atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious.
Not far away, Alex was doing a simple pass warm-up exercise, and his concentrated expression didn't show too much abnormality.
Kirk looked at it carefully and gave his guess, "I think the 49ers should be preparing for the playoffs." ”
Without further explanation, this one sentence is sufficient.
On the one hand, Lu Ke has just gotten rid of the problem of a cold, and his physical strength still needs to recover slowly, not to mention, it is now the end of the season, and the opportunity to recover his physical strength is even more rare, and it is also the possibility of preventing injury; On the other hand, the game has entered garbage time, and Alex, as a backup quarterback, can find the rhythm and form of the game to prepare for the contingencies of the playoffs.
This is a completely reasonable arrangement.
In fact, not only Lu Ke, but also players in other positions have begun to stand up and warm up, and then they will replace the main players on the field, so that the starting players can win time to rest. It's a reasonable arrangement for a mature professional team that meets expectations.
Kirk's guess was correct.
After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive and offensive groups have launched a small rotation of players, not all of them are replaced in one go, and the players in key positions are still retained, but relatively local rotations to ensure that the quality and intensity of the game will not decline significantly.
For the Seattle Seahawks, this seems like good news.
The attacking group, which continued to increase the intensity of the game, finally formed a perfect fit, and managed to score the second touchdown of the game, again from Mashawn Lynch, which undoubtedly ignited the raging enthusiasm of the Century Chain Stadium, but it was too late, because the score gap was too big and because there was not much time left in the game.
Alex Smith, who made his second appearance this season, once again showed the consistency that he has been famous for a long time.
Although he can't make big moves, the precision of his short passes and the balance of his runs are still a sharp weapon, and more importantly, he is a loyal tactical executor, and Jim Hubble's tactical set-ups are always accurate and the error rate is minimized.
Alex, who rushed into the game in the last game, did not perform well and was not able to adapt to the rhythm of the game as soon as possible, and at the same time, the Steelers' defensive group did not relax in the slightest, which did add a lot of difficulty; However, in this game, the Seahawks defense team was never able to prevent him from making effective interceptions, which also gave Alex more room to play.
In the first wave of attack, Alex managed to spend 4 minutes and 38 seconds of play time and scored a free kick.
In fact, when David Akons scored another 46-yard free-kick, the game was over, because the game time was running out, even if the Century Chain Stadium was still full of enthusiasm and momentum, even if the Seahawks continued to try, but still could not change the result.
Shortly after, the referee blew the final whistle of the game, ending the sixteenth game of the regular season between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, with the final score, "23:48."
Away team wins.
