1569 Trick Defense
The cold wind was raging, icy and biting, and the sky seemed to faintly begin to drift with fine grains of rice and snow again, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the hunting wind, making it impossible to determine whether it was their own illusion; The Blue Castle Stadium is like a volcano erupting in full force, erupting with heat, and the shouts of the defense continue to stir above the eardrums, which is an inspiration for the home team but a nightmare for the away team.
One hundred and seven seconds on, the score was "45:45", the San Francisco 49ers still held three timeouts, and the Green Bay Packers had two timeouts.
Lu Ke took off the down jacket draped over his shoulders, and the cold air invaded like this, like layers of blades quickly skimming the surface of the skin, goosebumps quickly broke through the ground, and the muscles couldn't help but tighten slightly; Lu Ke jogged into the field with small steps, methodically moving his arms and turning his waist to readjust his body to the cold weather of Green Bay, and all his attention was focused on the attack that was about to begin.
In this game, Lu Ke handed over a perfect answer, 28 passes, 24 hits, 312 yards, five touchdowns, and the quarterback rating was 152.7 at this time, infinitely close to the full score evaluation, especially the 85.7% pass success rate, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game in his own hands. Last season's two-time MVP is now back in the field, and all eyes are on him as he leads the defending champions on the winning attack. ”
Standing in his pocket, Lu Ke was ready to kick off, but the referee blew the whistle: the San Francisco 49ers asked for a timeout.
Lu Ke straightened up and cast an inquiring glance at Hubble on the sidelines, his brows furrowed slightly-because he was ready to attack, there was no problem with the tactical arrangement, and Hubble asked for an unnecessary timeout at such a critical moment, which was not good for time management.
At this time, there are still one hundred and seven seconds left before the game, and if Lu Ke wants to complete a touchdown, he not only needs to make full use of the out-of-bounds stop after passing the two touchlines, but also needs to unexpectedly use the middle attack to disrupt the layout of the defensive group - then the importance of three timeouts is highlighted, and wasting one timeout casually may lead to all layouts being disrupted, and the subsequent chain reaction can be foreseen in advance.
"Replace Goyle and let Lynch play." Hubble's voice came out of the headphones, "Twelve, hell! Bambi, twelve people just appeared! "Hubble's temper is still short-tempered, especially at critical moments, and he is becoming more and more sensitive, not necessarily angry at Lu Ke, but extremely sensitive to the whole game atmosphere.
Lu Ke keenly filtered Hubble's words and captured the key message: replacing Goyle with Marcus, while the two running backs have similar styles and shapes, and rotation is the norm, the situation is slightly different: Goyle has more ground advancement, and Marcus can occasionally be used as a wide receiver. The San Francisco 49ers' offensive tactical permutations will also be slightly adjusted according to different running backs, so Hubble is obviously not making a rotation at such a critical moment for fun.
"Screen pass?" Lu Ke directly ignored Hubble's angry state, all his attention was focused on offensive tactics, and he immediately smelled the variables.
Hubble and Lu Ke's communication has also become a habit, and he didn't care about Lu Ke's attitude at all, nor was he surprised by Lu Ke's keenness, "Shorten the time for gathering business, don't deliberately take the sideline, and raise the rhythm first." "There is no affirmation or denial, and key words are used to determine the tactical tone in between three words.
Lu Ke immediately understood what Hubble meant: in the face of such a situation, the attack routine of "catching the ball on the sideline and going out of bounds" is the most stable and proper way. For the defensive group, they will be able to focus on defense purposefully, which will make the offensive group's tactical combination very easy to spot. But now the San Francisco 49ers don't necessarily have to score a touchdown, they only need a free-kick to kill the game, which allows them to make more attempts.
Clearly, Hubble had his own agenda: the suspicion of a foul on 12 men was part of the reason, and the change of tactics on the spot was another. This was a waste of a timeout - now, no one knows what the impact of this timeout will have on the game, the only thing Lu Ke can do is to put all the distractions behind him for the time being, and start to prepare for the adjustment of offensive tactics.
Ten yards in gear.
The Green Bay Packers defensive team has once again made bold changes: defensive forwards, interior guards, outside backbacks and corner backs, a total of nine players, all disrupted their positions!
Traditionally, three defensive forwards are in the center against five offensive forwards, two interior guards are positioned at the number behind the front line to align with the running quarterbacks, two outside guards adjust their positions according to tactical needs, and the last two corner backs are positioned to defend the left and right wide receivers, which is the basic defensive position.
But now, the Green Bay Packers have completely disrupted their position - instead of aligning with the center, Spike has moved two positions to the left to stand opposite offensive tackle Joe Stanley; An interior guard and an outside lineback both stepped forward and stood in what should have been the defensive end; The cornerbacks and perimeter linebacks also came to the front side by side, completely breaking each other's duties, and even the inside and outside positions were reversed.
To put it simply, the overall shuffle, which also means that Lu Ke can not complete the defensive reading according to common sense at all, so how should Lu Ke interpret the changes in the home team's defensive group?
Complex is complicated, but Lu Ke can still get a glimpse of some laws from the surface:
There are six players at the front of the defense, all of whom are on the right side of the San Francisco 49ers - because Lu Ke has placed both close forwards here, and at the same time, Marcus is also standing here, which makes the attack quality on the right side significantly better than the other side, and the defensive team has made corresponding adjustments.
The second line of defense was just under two yards behind, all of them to the left of the San Francisco 49ers, and with the exception of two defenders facing the two wide receivers, one interior lineback stood in the gap between the San Francisco 49ers' blind side — the gap between Rupatti and Stanley vertically.
In the end, only two safety guards were left to pull the distance all the way away, far away, and stand fifteen yards away from the tee line.
The Green Bay Packers' entire defensive formation is very odd, but Lu Ke knows that everything is changing: the home team's defensive team is still looking for ways to increase the intensity of the frontline press.
The reason for ignoring his duties and disrupting the position, although it may affect the fluency of coordination because of the disordered position, and may also increase the difficulty of rushing and attacking because of the disrupted position, the most important significance is that Lu Ke cannot judge the position of the "rushing player", and then he cannot adjust the position of the offensive forward and prepare for the movement in a targeted manner, which can win more advantages for the defense.
At the same time, after the "rushing player" became an unknown factor, the layout of pass defense and ground defense also "disappeared" from Lu Ke's sight, and even the scope of the area defense could not be accurately determined.
In fact, such a defensive formation is a bit similar to the trick of the offensive group, which can often create unexpected surprises and achieve amazing results.
Lu Ke's defensive reading was not able to capture much specific information, but he still trusted his instincts, completed the tactical layout according to those hidden contexts, and then announced the kick-off.
"Attack!"
Sure enough, all the positions of the Green Bay Packers were deceptive, those who stood on the front line did not necessarily rush to pass, those who stood on the second line did not necessarily retreat, and between the staggered positions of the forward rush and the retreat, the pressure of the entire defensive front line smashed over like a storm, frantically crushing towards the San Francisco 49ers offensive front.
Not to mention the offensive front line players, even Lu Ke, who has the advantage of vision, can't accurately judge how the defensive formation has changed.
In an instant, the front line of the Green Bay Packers had the absolute upper hand, and only a four-man rush pass was used, which had completely disrupted the deployment of the San Francisco 49ers' offensive front, and the entire pocket protection was retreating; Moreover, the purpose of the defensive group is not to capture, but to exert pressure, all the forces are concentrated in the center, and they unreasonably push and collide with the offensive front line to advance strongly, destroying Lu Ke's footsteps and observation vision in the way of fighting cattle across the mountains.
Confusion!
It's chaos!
Even though Lu Ke was mentally prepared in advance, the actual situation still exceeded expectations, in the continuous retreat, the passing vision in the central area has been destroyed, and spread out to both sides like a fan, and Lu Ke's passing vision is shifted step by step towards the left and right sidelines-
At the same time, the second-line defensive layout forces are also rapidly moving to the sides.
At this point, the Green Bay Packer's defensive tactics took off their masks to reveal the sharp fangs hidden within:
The defensive group deliberately aimed at the center to put pressure on the central area, forcing Lu Ke to pass the ball to the sidelines on both sides; Then they can use the concentrated second-line defense laid out in advance to cut off Lu Ke's passing line and complete the pass.
The most likely scenario is that he can't complete the sack but can create enough pressure for Lu Ke to pass the ball out of bounds, and make a pass that is not completed; And the best situation is that a smooth capture of Lu Ke will not only force the opponent to lose yards and waste a gear attack, but also the game time will continue to pass -
The most perfect situation is to intercept. The strong pressure forced Lu Ke to make mistakes in the panic, and the defensive team seized this mistake opportunity by planning in advance, cutting off the opponent's attack, and at the same time, it was able to win Rodgers about 100 seconds to kill the game.
At the moment of kick-off, Lu Ke swept the stadium, and all the confrontation and evolution of the situation were calculated in his mind, and the rugby ball was teleported without any hesitation!
