1676 gets a new look
"The Seattle Seahawks won the coin guess, they chose to take the lead in attacking, which is a little surprising, this season when the defensive group has absolute strength, they tend to prefer to enter the game with defense, how to defend the offensive group led by Lu Ke, which is also the focus of this game; But now, the Seattle Seahawks, playing at home, have opted to start the game offensively, which is a slight deviation from expectations. ”
In the 2013 season, the Seattle Seahawks' offensive team still faced a lot of problems, and although Russell Wilson's good performance last season revitalized the offense, Pete Carroll still built a strong defensive team, and as for the offensive team, it was another year of tinkering.
In the offseason, Carroll brought in talented wide receiver Percy Harvin, who was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings with the 22nd pick in the first round in 2009 and won the Rookie of the Year title that year — and he beat Matthew Stafford, who set a record for rookie quarterbacks, to achieve such glory that many pundits believe he can be among the best in history.
Unfortunately, in the next three seasons, Harvin was more or less plagued by injuries and never been able to complete a full season, which seriously affected his performance, and his statistics declined year by year, but talent and strength still cannot be ignored, Carroll also expects Harvin to use his performance to revitalize the passing offense and share part of the responsibility for Russell's passing offense, but unfortunately, the final result did not meet expectations.
Prior to the season kick-off, Harvin again missed most of the season with a hip injury, and it wasn't until week 11 of the regular season that he made his Seattle Seahawk debut against his old club Minnesota Vikings, where he proved his ability to make his debut, pushing a full seventeen yards on his first catch.
However, Wilson used Harvin as a passing target too much, and the entire offensive system was tilted towards Harvin, which disrupted the team's offensive tactical layout, and the on-the-spot changes appeared stiff and rigid, which also seriously restricted the fluency of the entire offense. In the end, Halvin's stats were impressive, but in the five games he played, the Seattle Seahawks' passing offense was a surprise.
The Seattle Seahawks' passing offense ranked only 26th in the overall ranking data for the entire season, which is clearly a far cry from Carroll's original intention.
The Seattle Seahawks scored just seven points against the San Francisco 49ers last time out, and it was clear that they couldn't find many solutions, which is the most direct proof of this.
To add insult to injury, before the division game against the New Orleans Saints, the media broke the news that Harvin was becoming a ticking time bomb in the locker room, and he continued to ignite provocations everywhere and became the most unpopular player in the locker room; And at least twice he gave up the game, sat on the sidelines, and refused to return to the court.
For the Seattle Seahawks' offensive group, there was no positive impact at all. Like countless talents, including Aldon Smith, Halvin has his own pride and edge, and has not been able to get on the right track with the right guidance, and there are countless similar cases in the NFL, and Aldon and Halvin are not the only ones, nor will they be the last.
Before the start of the federation finals, Harvin did not pass the concussion test and was forced to miss the matchup, but it is not known whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the time being-
Because outside of Halfin, the Seattle Seahawks' outside receivers still lack hard power, and Doug Baldwin and Gordon Tate have not had a "1000-yard season" in his career so far; At the same time, in contrast, the San Francisco 49ers' second-line defense is also relatively weak, which will also be another highlight of this game.
Strengths for strengths, weaknesses for weaknesses, the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks seem to be natural enemies, and every collision is destined to be sparkling.
But after today's game, the Seattle Seahawks chose to attack first, which is undoubtedly a big surprise: Could it be that Carroll has found the key to open the attack? Or is it a tactical choice, and the battle between the two sides has already begun?
"On the San Francisco 49ers side, Patrick Willis is in the starting lineup! He took the place of the undrafted Michael Wiehot, joining forces with Navoro Bowman, Ahmad Brooks, and Aldon Smith to form today's starting lineback, which is undoubtedly good news! ”
"The current lineback lineup is undoubtedly an important contributor to the San Francisco 49ers' ability to win all the games last season, and the reorganization at a critical moment in the playoffs also makes people look forward to more. It is now foreseeable that both teams' defensive groups will inevitably be battling it out in the front court. ”
For both teams, they are constantly dealing with variables and variables in the preparation process, even entering the game stage, and the constant variables are constantly changing the situation of the confrontation, now it is up to the ability to play on the field and see who can adapt more quickly to gain the upper hand in the first quarter of the game and further take advantage of this game.
"The game is on!"
The Seattle Seahawks Secret Service team caught the ball in the end zone, but took the initiative to go back and swerved all the way to near the 25-yard line, only to be penalized for a 10-yard foul on a teammate, which allowed the home team to start attacking 14 yards from the end zone.
Roar, roar, roar!
A voice of support from low to high gradually climbed, and the entire Century Chain Stadium was filled with boiling air waves, which were not turbulent or harsh, but burst out of a majestic and high-spirited force in the layers of stacked sounds, announcing the appearance of the Seattle Sea Hawks warriors like a war song.
Worthy of being the league's top devil home, Century Chain Field showed its own difference in the opening stage, while strengthening the momentum for the Seattle Seahawks, it also further pressured the San Francisco 49ers, and the exponentially increasing pressure made the cloudy sky begin to darken, and the strange and powerful aura made the visiting players deeply feel their own insignificance - the kind of smallness that is lonely and isolated.
But how could the defending champions surrender so easily?
In the first wave of offense and defense, the San Francisco 49ers defense team crushed the Seattle Seahawks' offensive front line with a five-man rushing pass, and the entire pocket protection was completely shattered, and rushed towards Russell with great momentum, which also forced Russell to use his legs to run out of the pocket.
Russell was dancing on the tip of a knife, dodging left and right to find a gap in the airtight defensive net, and was about to break through when he was about to get rid of the entanglement of the defensive front, but Aldon Smith quickly shook off his opposing offensive tackle Paul-McQuistan (Paul-McQuistan), and with his body almost losing his center of gravity, he completed the first tackle with a hungry wolf pounce!
Russell was still unable to break through the starting line of the tee shot after all, and was forced to be killed by Aldon.
"Snatch!"
"Aldon Smith's response was very timely! Previously, it was pulled by Russell Wilson and other lines to shake the center of gravity; But Smith still maintained a high level of concentration, forced a second start, and blocked Wilson's breakthrough while losing his center of gravity, and made a wonderful tackle! ”
"The Seattle Seahawks offensive team will have to face a tough test, but I don't know if this is what Carroll expected."
The first offensive and defensive matchup of the whole game, there didn't seem to be too many surprises, everything was expected, Aldon's wonderful performance regained vitality, swept away the slump and difficulty in the division competition, which is undoubtedly a good start for the San Francisco 49ers; But both Carroll and Russell were clearly ready for anything, and the ensuing offense was part of their rhythm.
Considering the relative weakness of the wide receivers and near end positions, the Seattle Seahawks adopted a retro two-way running back formation, that is, one full guard and one half guard, with full guard Michael-Robinson (Michael-Robinson) in charge of attacking the city, and half-back Mashawn Lynch in charge of moving forward - of course, it was mainly Mashawn's outburst, which showed the momentum of "God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha" like a bulldozer.
This season, Beast Mode is famous! In the past two seasons, it was only circulated among professional fans and veteran fans, but this year, it has caused a sensation across the league like "Bombing the Army", truly showing the momentum of the league's number one weapon, which can be called the victory magic weapon of the Seattle Seahawks.
After the first attack was tackled, Russell used ground offense to start a hard-fought battle, which is also the biggest difference between Russell and Cam Newton, as the champion show, Cam has too much pride and stubbornness after all, and the pride of the pride of the sky makes him often refuse to face difficulties; But Russell is different, he, like Lu Ke, has been singing and declining throughout his career, they are willing to accept challenges and make changes, and they are often able to quickly adjust in crisis situations, and once again find opportunities to continue the game.
Three runs in a row, Marshawn Lynch's "Beast Mode" unleashed a bombardment and forced a 27-yard push; After getting the first attack again with the help of a fake run and true pass, in the face of the six-man raid and rush pass of the San Francisco 49ers, Russell showed the demeanor of a general who was in danger in the storm, made full use of his footsteps to tear out a gap, and after dodging two consecutive grappling crises, he found space to advance, and then-
Decisive with the ball, he broke through in the midst of a hail of bullets with his nimble and fast pace, and the combination of speed and power was perfect, pushing a full thirteen yards in one go, not only scoring the first attack, but also helping the team cross the halfline and cut into the San Francisco half!
In the opening three minutes, the Seattle Seahawks' offensive group was eye-catching!
