"Attack!" Lu Ke announced the kick-off again and threw himself into the game.

Same tactic, but with a slightly different route of running, Crabtree started to skim out, while Jean started to cut inside; Newman, on the other hand, pulls sideways to the outside.

Lu Ke's retreat did not move widely, just two retreat steps, adjusted his posture, waved his forearm lightly, and made a passing action, this time, is it a real action or a fake action? The players in the defensive group immediately became vigilant, but before they could make a judgment, the rugby in Lu Ke's hand had already been passed.

It was a smooth through ball that was passed quickly and strongly towards the gap in the middle, Ted Jean accurately slapped the ball into the pocket with ease, and without any defender on the side, Jean trotted a few steps ahead, and then realized that the road ahead was already smooth, and there was no blockage at all, so the pace slowed down.

Kick off immediately, pass the ball immediately, finish immediately. The whole tactic took less than ten seconds before and after, and before he even had time to blink, he completed the execution of the tactic again, and everything happened so fast that people couldn't relax.

The same tactic, in less than five minutes, was executed twice, and through changes in details, the players in the defensive group were like marionettes, in the hands of Lu Ke, they were completely led by the nose, and the defense was misaligned twice in a row. In the official game, whether it is Logan Newman or Ted Jean, they can run all the way and complete the touchdown.

Crisp and neat, thunderous, deadly, rigidly pressing the defensive group in place, rubbing, rubbing.

Fast, efficient and straightforward. The defensive group lost face.

Lu Ke clenched his right fist, waved it briefly and vigorously, gritted his teeth, cheered for himself, and after a small celebration, Lu Ke left the court, giving up the space to Scott, who came on the court later.

For Lu Ke, after the end of this week's game, the basic points are superimposed on the tactical awareness and observation vision, the improvement effect is undoubtedly obvious, and the capture of the entire fighter has gone further, now it is just a training match, the intensity is still different from the official game after all, all the passes are easy, invisibly, the effect is amplified to the extreme.

But for defenders, it's a humiliating nightmare.

Pares put his hands on his waist, took a deep breath, and then took a deep breath, but even so, the anger and grievance could not be relieved, the bubbling anger was almost about to explode, and finally simply took off the helmet, and smashed the helmet out casually, and finally could no longer suppress his emotions, and strode away from the training ground, he needed to be calm and calm.

All the contradictions were resolved on the training ground, and so, they came to the training ground. However, who would have thought that with just a few breaths and a blink of an eye, the result of victory and defeat has already been divided, and it is a huge difference.

There was no way to fight back, there was really no way to fight back, such a shame, so that Pares's whole person began to tremble uncontrollably.

The members of the coaching staff all showed playful and expectant expressions: purely judging from Lu Ke's performance, he definitely did not have the slightest shadow of losing the rookie, and judging from the situation on the training ground today, the competitive state has actually surpassed Colin Kaepernick - not absolute strength, but competitive state.

Of course, competitive sports never speak by numbers, and the actual competition is full of countless variables, and the strongest may not be able to have the last laugh, and the weaker ones may not have no chance. This is also the charm of competitive sports. Therefore, measuring strength cannot be so simple and rude.

The question now is, in the face of Lu Ke's strong rise speed, can the other three quarterbacks keep up with the speed?

The tension on the training court crept in, with both the defense and offense a little tight, and even more so at the quarterbacks.

Scott Tolsing, who came on next, was out of sorts, with no mistakes in his tactics, but his passing accuracy was off a lot.

Alex Smith then seemed to be affected as well, and was actually caught and failed to complete the pass.

Then there's Collin Kaepernick, who deviated from his original tactical track and once again ran out of his pockets on his legs to pull off an eight-yard pass. Although the pass was completed, the tactical execution failed.

This trend slowly continued, and the strength of the four quarterbacks began to gradually reflect the gap.

Under heavy pressure, Tolsin's performance became erratic and gradually fell behind, and his execution at critical moments was still insufficient.

Kaepernick, on the other hand, is still the same old problem, his passing accuracy is not consistent, and he always wants to rely on his body, although it has improved compared to the preseason, and his memory and understanding of the tactical manual have improved a lot, but it is still not enough. Actually, that's the same problem that all rookie quarterbacks face — they need time, more time.

It's worth mentioning that with the same tactical hole, Kaepernick is the only quarterback who is a beat slower to react. He walked onto the pitch and behind the attacking striker, and only then did he realise that his tactics had been wrong. Although he stubbornly pretended to know and forced the kick-off, the effect was terrible, and the whole tactical execution was wrong.

Obviously, as a rookie, Kaepernick needs more time on the road to learning tactics.

As for Lu Ke, his understanding of the tactical manual seems to have adapted to the rhythm of the league very quickly, and the reasonable explanation is the perfect score on the von Derek test, as well as the perseverance in his spare time - Lu Ke never rested during the Monday and Tuesday breaks, and the tactical manual and game footage filled all his time.

One month of preseason and three weeks of the regular season are less than two months, and the growth is amazing.

Finally, there's Alex Smith, steady, as always consistent, and after a sack, the performance is back on track. There are no problems with the understanding and execution of tactics, the reading and mastery of the game; However, under urgent circumstances, the attempt of medium transmission and long transmission is still a big problem.

It seems that everything is still the same, familiar recipes, familiar tastes. In the final analysis, it is still an old question: choose Alex Smith or Lu Ke; Or maybe it's a veteran, or a rookie?

Before the regular season, Jim's plan was to select a veteran and use Smith to lead the team while helping the rookie quarterback grow smoothly; After a series of accidents, Lu Ke became the starting quarterback and served as a transitional quarterback, but the result was an incredible three-game winning streak. So, what should we do now?

According to the original plan, Smith was re-introduced to give Lu Ke and Kaepernick more time to grow; Or follow the development trend of the game and continue to let Lu Ke be the starter, looking forward to continuing the team's winning posture?

To put it simply, it's actually the conflict within the locker room, and now it's in the hands of the coaching staff, who have to make judgments, make choices, and make the best choice for the San Francisco 49ers.

However, this is only the first part of the quarterback competition, and the selection of the starting quarterback is obviously more than this - otherwise, just according to the three games of the regular season, there is no doubt and suspense about the selection of Lu Ke, the reason why in training, open and transparent competition, on the one hand, is to solve the conflict in the locker room, on the other hand, it is also for all aspects of assessment.

On Thursday afternoon, the team conducted several different quarterback steering drills, including passing drills, pocket footwork, dodging and impacting, etc., to look at the quarterback's skills and, most importantly, condition.

On Friday morning, there was another training match within the team, a full showdown, 11 against 11. Not just the selection of quarterbacks, but also the start of this week's regular season tactics, according to the opponent's defensive strategy and offensive style, to carry out targeted drills.

On the training ground, the game was still in full swing, and at this time it was Alex Smith who led the team's attacking team, steady and methodical, the impact of injuries was inevitable, and the footwork and passing choices when the pocket was torn were irrational, but overall, he still returned to his average level.

There is still some time until the end of the game. However, this is a training match, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

"Alex is still stable, sometimes it's too stable, but sometimes we need that kind of stability." Craig Roman has his opinion, "Our team is too young and has had too many ups and downs, as has been the case in the last two games, and if Alex had a little bit of a bit of tempo, the game would have been much better. ”

Kip Kleist looked up with a smile, "So, you're rooting for Alex?" ”

Craig smiled slightly, "What about you?" ”

"I support Lu Ke. You know, I've always supported Lu Ke, and the courage and courage he showed is really rare. Yes, he may be in inconsistent form, causing the team to collapse and lose the game; But I believe that he will not surrender easily. Kip was unwavering in his opinion, "What do you think? ”

Craig smiled dumbly, and then he realized that Jim also cast a gaze, and his eyes showed an inquiring light, and he let out a long breath, "Okay, reason tells me that I should choose Alex." The consistency of the team is one thing, the dressing room is another, and most importantly, Colin and Lu Ke are both too young and they still have a lot to learn. ”

"But?" Kip raised an eyebrow, sensing the tail left behind Craig's words.

Craig looked helpless, "But." Then I saw Kip smirk, "However, I will still choose Lu Ke." There are many problems we are facing now, but the wonderful thing is that Lu Ke still leads the team to move forward. So, why should we change? However, it was Jim who made the final decision. ”

Both Craig and Kip looked at Jim at the same time.

Jim didn't say anything, didn't signal, and looked at the court in silence. "With less than two days left until this week's regular season, I know everyone is concerned about starting quarterbacks this week. The coaching staff has deliberated and made a decision, and we're going to announce the starting quarterbacks now, and then the rest of the training revolves around the starters. ”

Crisply and neatly, Jim doesn't have too many words and gets straight to the point. 8)
