"Oh! Oh, God! What's going on, what the hell is going on? I couldn't believe my eyes, abnormal, this is so abnormal! ”

In the studio, Teddy's exclamations erupted reflexively, staring at Kirk with wide eyes, trying to find an answer; But Kirk looked surprised at this time, frowned and fell into a state of deep thought, as if he was also in a fog of confusion.

Not only the Fox TV studio, but also the commentary booth was full of exclamations, full of question marks kept jumping out, and almost everyone was asking the same question, "What the hell is going on on the field?" What the hell is going on? But no one can give an answer.

"This is Lu Ke's second interception after the start of the first quarter of the game today, which is abnormal, this is really abnormal." Teddy explained what was happening on the field, and then in the replay, he began to explain, "In the past nine games, Lu Ke has only passed two interceptions, and they are all caused by the problems of the receiver, but today's first quarter of the game is not over, this is already the second interception, this is an atypical Lu Ke." ”

Listening to Teddy's explanation, Kirk finally came to his senses, nodded in affirmation, and expressed his opinion.

Indeed, in Lu's short career, accurate defensive prediction and clever route layout have undoubtedly left a deep impression on people, he is a very bold and aggressive quarterback, many passes are dancing on the tip of the knife, and the moment can lead to interception. However, there have only been two interceptions so far, and the reason is due to his tactical execution and defensive anticipation. ”

What ordinary fans see is Lu Ke's dazzling data, or Lu Ke's aggressive passing; But what professionals see is Lu Ke's daring to take risks, as well as Lu Ke's bold choice.

As the saying goes, often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet, which is also one of the focuses of Lu Ke's criticism; But as long as Lu Ke can continue to win games, be aggressive and bold, this is no problem, and what the rookie quarterback needs is excitement/emotion. Just because there hasn't been a problem before doesn't mean there will never be.

It came out today.

"The interception of the first wave of attack in the opening game, the mistake was not Lu Ke's, in the quick short pass, Kyle Williams slapped the rugby but could not complete the catch, and at the same time completely changed the route of the pass, after a 90-degree turn, Patrick-Peterson, who was standing next to him, almost stood in place, did not move, and the rugby fell into his arms, which is the same as the interception against the Washington Redskins last time."

Kirk briefly reviewed the circumstances of the first interception, and then came to the second interception, which had just occurred.

"But this time the interception, the mistake is definitely Lu Ke's."

"The pockets of the San Francisco 49ers are under tremendous pressure and are shrinking rapidly, creating passing pressure for Lu Ke, which is a fact, which also leads to Lu Ke having to shoot in a hurry, but his choice of passing target needs to be renegotiated."

"In the short passing area, Logan Newman has pulled out the gap, and Michael Crabtree is also in a one-on-one situation; But Lu Ke opted for a more risky pass and found Ted Jean in the long pass area. ”

It was a 25-yard pass that Adrian-Wilson got into position before Jean could get into place, taking the ball into his arms one step ahead of him, a tackle that gave Jean almost no chance. Lu Ke's pass was slightly off the mark, but that wasn't the reason; The reason is probably that the passing route and intention are exposed to the defenders early. ”

"Tactical arrangement, defensive prediction, pass selection, and timing control are all Lu Ke's strengths, but he couldn't do all of this pass just now, which is indeed a bit abnormal."

"After Adrian Wilson completed the interception, Jean completed the tackle in time to avoid more damage, but before the first quarter of the game, the Arizona Cardinals defense had already made two ball conversions, and this game was clearly off track as we expected."

The sprinkled commentary, in a limited time, analyzed the entire situation on the field thoroughly, and Kirk became more and more handy in the commentary seat.

Then, after analyzing the San Francisco 49ers, Kirk's eyes turned to the Arizona Cardinals, "Although this team has not performed well in the past ten weeks, with only three wins and six losses, the individual strength of the team should not be underestimated, and there are at least three professional Bowl-level players in the team. ”

The three players are security guard Adrian Wilson, cornerback Patrick Peterson and wide receiver Larry Fetzgerald, both of whom are from the defensive team. It's fair to say that the Cardinals' defense is very distinctive, and they were able to beat the St. Louis Rams in overtime two weeks ago, thanks to which the defensive group played a big role. ”

After a brief analysis, Kirk concluded, "So, for the San Francisco 49ers' offensive group, it must not be taken lightly. Now it seems that the opponent's defensive group has indeed made plenty of targeted preparations, and the next game will be very difficult. ”

Teddy, who was sitting on the side, nodded in affirmation, and then added, "However, this is still not the end of the world. ”

"The first quarter is not over yet, and the Arizona Cardinals' offensive team is also at a loss, they obviously didn't anticipate the progress of the game, they missed two offensive opportunities, they didn't take advantage of the opportunity after the first interception, and now the score is still '0-0', neither side has been able to break the deadlock."

As Teddy spoke, the offensive and defensive teams of the two teams had swapped positions and were back on the court, ready to continue the game.

"Now it's up to the attacking groups of the two sides, who can get into the state first. Patrick Peterson's interception earned his team a 43-yard starting position in his own half, and now it's up to John Skelton to open up the game with Fitzgerald. ”

After a quick cut into the game, before Skelton kicked off, Teddy added, "Of course, I think it's more important than the Cardinals' offense that the 49ers should think about what happened to their offensive group." ”

If Lu Ke could hear Teddy's explanation at this moment, he would also nod his head in agreement. Because, now he is seriously thinking, what the hell is going on?

Interception is a bad thing, a terrible bad thing, and no one wants to give up the ball; But plagiarism is not the end of the world.

Every quarterback wants to avoid interception, but every quarterback is bound to face interception, and more importantly than the interception itself, what happens to the quarterback after the interception.

Some quarterbacks are starting to become constrained, with longer observation time, more cautious defensive judgments, and more conservative passing options, which is also not a good thing, because it means that the offensive front line has to provide more time to protect, and if you are not careful, the opponent's defensive group will have more chance of sacking, which will drag down the offensive group. Novice quarterbacks are more likely to do the same.

The point is that there needs to be clarity in thinking, but at the same time, you can't hold back for fear of copying.

It's easy to discuss on paper, but it's hard to do in practice. This is also one of the important differences between an excellent quarterback and an ordinary quarterback, looking at his own interception correctly, rediscovering his game form, and seeking a breakthrough.

In today's game, Lu Ke has already intercepted twice, which is not a good thing, definitely not a good thing. Therefore, Lu Ke is also recalling, what happened in the first quarter of the game?

This time, Lu Ke really felt the mystery of "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain", standing on the court, in the middle of the game, it was really difficult to open the situation in his thoughts, and it was not until the end of the first half that he realized the crux of the problem - but this was just his own guess.

Proud, they are still proud of the enemy after all, not only the other members of the offensive team, including Lu Ke, but the entire team.

In the past week, Lu Ke and the team are still preparing for the game step by step, still preparing for the game conscientiously, and have not relaxed at all, but the whole state is relaxed.

Because subconsciously, they believe that the Arizona Cardinals are another Cleveland Brown or the Washington Redskins, and the Arizona Cardinals are not a threat to the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are now a strong team, and they can easily beat the Cardinals to extend their winning streak.

It's not the same as facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth week of the regular season.

At that time, they were blindly confident, and after three consecutive victories, they began to flutter, like a castle in the air; After the head-on impact, they calmed down and realized that they were far from complacent, and fought hard in the second half, although they still lost the game in the end, but the content of the game was commendable, and they fought until the last moment.

But now, their self-confidence has really swelled, and they are determined to believe that they are a strong team. Faith can be a weapon of victory, but it can also be the beginning of a rout. Everything is a double-edged sword, and confidence and pride are no exception.

It's like a soccer league where the top-ranked team faces the bottom relegation team, and the former keeps a high profile and thinks they can not only win the game, but also need to win beautifully.

This kind of "champion" temperament that bursts out of his bones is taken for granted, and he even can't wait to show himself and prove himself; On the contrary, it is easy to get excited, easy to be hot-headed, easy to ignore details, easy to misjudge the opponent, and one detail after another accumulates, and the control of the game gradually falls out of the palm of the hand.

When I realized it, I wanted to get nervous again, but it was too late.

Competitive sports are never a superposition of numbers on the books.

The same is true for Lu Ke himself.
