102 Full Fire

"Did anyone volunteer to be the first to play?"

Jim glanced at the crowd in front of him, he did it on purpose, it was all a routine.

The physical strength of the sparring players is not endless, and it is also a severe test for them to insist on attacking in ten gears in a row; What's more, a total of twelve quarterbacks came to try out today, and no player in the entire league can complete 120 games in a row, not even a professional player.

They have prepared a total of three groups of sparring players for rotation.

However, Jim's whole speech is fast-paced, leaving not much space and time for the players to think, he just wants to create an illusion that it is not good to be the first to play, so who wants to take the initiative to be in the ranks? Because the San Francisco 49ers are now facing a tricky mess, he needs more courage and boldness from the quarterback.

What if, just if, if the quarterback saw through Jim's trick, realized it was all a trick, and then deliberately stepped out to show his confidence? Then Jim also raised his hands and feet in welcome, because it means that the quarterback is sharp enough, attentive enough, and bold enough.

Of the twelve quarterbacks on trial today, Jim is really looking at Carson Palmer and Matt Hasselbeck, two veteran quarterbacks who are strong, experienced and good at passing. In case of urgency, they can play in the first week of the regular season; In the long run, they can also help Colin Kaepernick more.

It would be great if Carson and Matt were willing to take the initiative, but deep down, Jim had other expectations, and then, someone came out.

"Me!"

Lu Ke took the initiative to walk out, his heart was pounding fiercely, but his eyes were becoming more and more determined, not only did he not have the slightest timidity and retreat, but also burst out with a strong self-confidence that was indomitable.

Jim's eyes lit up slightly.

In people's fixed thinking, Asian players, especially East Asian players, are accustomed to taking modesty as a virtue, keeping a low profile, and not liking to be in the limelight; But in competitive sports, modesty cannot be established, they need to be confident, they need to be domineering, and they need to be strong.

Carson and Matt didn't move, and it could be seen that both of them were old fritters and had seen through Jim's intentions. But they are sure of it, after all, the age and qualifications are there, and they can't just stand out as ignorant as a stunned youth, right? Rather than rushing to express yourself first, it's better to quietly observe and wait for an opportunity to make a move.

Sophisticated, cunning, wise. It's something they've precipitated after so many years of playing professionally.

Jim quickly hid his thoughts and nodded, as if he didn't care, "Then you can play first." Need to warm up? ”

"No, I don't. I've warmed up well just now. Lu Ke said calmly.

Jim nodded again, didn't say anything, waved his hand, and then motioned for the players to play, but his eyes always stayed on Lu Ke's body.

In the rookie training camp, Lu Ke became the first player to complete a touchdown in a training match, and Jim was deeply impressed. But today, unlike rookie training camp, San Francisco's 49-man sparring team is more than just a sparring team.

In the sparring group, many players are capable enough to enter the team squad, at least they can sit on the bench, but because the squad is only allowed to allow 53 people, and they can't find other teams to transfer, they are temporarily placed in the sparring team.

It can be said that they are all old oilers, with strength and wisdom, even if the intensity of the game is still behind the NFL regular season, it is not much different, even if the players of the official first team and the second team are not careful, they may be planted on them.

So, this No. 11, in the end, half a bottle of water clanged, so he took the initiative to come out; Or is it absolutely outstanding and the first to appear proudly?

Jim didn't speak, his hands folded over his chest, and he watched quietly, and then he saw the Eleventh skillfully organize his temporary teammates, communicate and negotiate in an orderly manner, and then arrange tactics, and in just two minutes, all the preparations were completed, and the formation was officially completed above the twenty-yard line.

This sophistication, as Kip said, really doesn't look like a rookie. However, this is just a training ground. In the official competition, the cheers and shouts of the audience shook the earth, and even many veterans felt their hands tight, let alone rookies.

Jim's eyes were very close, and in the first gear, No. 11 stepped back quickly, took control of the situation, and with a gap in the short passing route, a bullet pass found the wide receiver from nineteen yards away, and in the circle of three defenders, accurately and sharply passed the rugby ball into the arms of the wide receiver.

Although the wide receiver was surrounded immediately after that and could no longer continue to advance, the performance of the fire announced a strong presence as soon as it came up. What's more important is the speed of the shot, which only takes about two seconds, leaving not too many gaps for the defensive front line to attack, even if the offensive front line is generally protected, it still completes the pass quickly and steadily.

In the second gear, after the 11th kick-off, run all the way to the left, and the offensive line pushes to the right, which is an obvious screen short pass tactic. But just when Jim thought that Eleven was going to pass the ball to the right, Eleven picked up the rugby ball and used his feet to push forward.

The number 11 was a little clumsy in terms of his ability to run with the ball and his passing skills, but his feet were very steady and he never panicked, he kept watching, observing, and with the three defenders about to complete the encirclement, he passed the rugby ball with a short five-yard pass, and then handed it to the wide receiver to rush forward.

Eventually, the offense moved forward by another twelve yards - the defenders' center of gravity shifted, the coverage area leaked, and a big yardage was released.

In the third gear, No. 11 suddenly made a difficult move, and a 40-yard rainbow pass found the team's near end. The defensive group was misplaced again, with the near end barely having much to do to get the ball off and then push forward. With just one cornerback in front, he rushed through the end zone without suspense and completed a touchdown.

Even if this is a training match, even if the defensive team does not gain a foothold for the time being, and even if the sparring team is a little lighthearted, there is no reason to hide the ability of No. 11 to strategize in these three offensive gears.

Two long passes, one short pass, the shooting time is controlled at about two seconds and three, because there is no stopwatch in his hand, the calculation is not very accurate, but it is certain that his shot is very fast, the judgment is accurate, relying on the wide receiver and the pull of the near end of the running route to tear up the defensive coverage and achieve the goal.

In just half a year, No. 11's strength has improved compared to the rookie training camp.

Go back to the twenty-yard line again and continue to start fourth gear. The defensive team of the sparring team finally cheered up, increased their defensive intensity, and showed the style of a professional league.

First, in the fourth gear, he forced No. 11 to make a hasty shot, only completing a three-yard short pass, and the wide receiver was directly knocked down; Then, in the fifth gear attack, he completed the most 11th grappling - before being captured, 11th completed another short pass and completed a three-yard advance again.

Just when everyone thought that No. 11 was helpless, the sixth gear attack, No. 11 unexpectedly chose a through ball, crossed the heads of the offensive and defensive fronts, found a small gap, and after completing the five-yard pass, the wide receiver was directly tackled to the ground, but the team continued to advance.

Eleven felt unprecedented pressure in the ensuing seventh gear, and two defenders broke through the line and began to chase after him, running out of his pockets with his feet and completing a 50-yard rainbow pass, which was then slammed to the ground by two defenders.

The point is, passing, done. The wide receiver was defended by the corner-back and took the football smoothly, and the offensive team pushed it straight through the half.

The impact just now was really too hard, and No. 11 was lying on the ground, and he couldn't recover for a while. Jim couldn't help but be a little worried, if he was injured during the trial, it would be all in vain, but objectively speaking, the intensity just now can be seen everywhere in the league, and the physical fitness of No. 11 is also what they are most worried about.

Luckily, No. 11 only rested for about thirty seconds before he got back to his feet, signaled that he was okay, moved in place twice, summoned his temporary teammates again, and continued to attack - by this time they were already at the 21-yard line of the opposing half, and the touchdown end zone was within reach.

That's the lethal power of the long pass.

Then, in the eighth gear, the 11th was clearly affected by the impact, and the pass deviated too much from the predetermined trajectory, and the players in the offensive and defensive groups could only sigh at the ball.

After a brief adjustment with 40 seconds of offensive time, the ninth gear offense, No. 11 opted for a short pass, a pass of about eight yards, nine yards, and successfully found the wide receiver on the strong side, and under the cover of the near end, the wide receiver smoothly rushed into the end area and completed the second touchdown.

It's not just Jim, everyone present is in the spotlight, nine gears of offense, two touchdowns? What exactly is this?

What's even more terrifying is that in the tenth gear attack, No. 11 still has no intention of releasing water, and he passed a super long pass of 65 yards like a bamboo, and the wide receiver rushed to the ball and received the pass unbelievably, but unfortunately, the pass speed was slightly faster than expected, and the wide receiver rushed forward too much, and after losing his center of gravity, he fell directly to the ground, and failed to complete the touchdown again after receiving the ball.

Still, when the ten-gear offense was completed, it was still jaw-dropping. Full fire, this is the real full fire! The defensive group was directly beaten into a sieve!
