Patrick Peterson refuses to be passive, and instead of passively waiting for the opposing quarterback to start moving, he should take the initiative and disrupt the opponent's running route to gain the upper hand in defense.

Sure enough, with one step up and one collision, Peterson successfully knocked away Williams, and at the same time, borrowing the inertia of the reaction force, two big strides approached Logan, who was speeding up.

One second, one and a half seconds, two seconds.

Peterson's speed increased to the extreme, and he killed Logan with a thunderous momentum, and then saw Lu Ke's pass rushing in his sight, and the whole process of prediction, shooting, and passing was smooth and in one go, even if Peterson attacked and moved in advance, he was still half a beat behind.

Logan received the ball just right on his chest, but Peterson didn't lose his attention at all, lowered his center of gravity, and slammed into Logan.

The small cornerback runs into the big man at the near end, which is a very skillful move. Pieterson's helmet and shoulders were aimed at Logan's hands to protect the rugby, not his shoulders, and he slammed into it, and the vertical impact instantly overturned Logan's center of gravity, and at the same time, Peterson himself lost his center of gravity.

But that's when Peterson noticed O'Brien Schofield, the late perimeter who hit Logan for the second time from the other side.

The two waves of collision, one left and one right, created a stormy effect, and then Peterson saw the football flying out of Logan's arms, and he subconsciously stretched out his hands to try to complete the interception; But then he realized that after losing his center of gravity, he was slowly moving away from rugby, and could only watch as rugby landed in a no-man's land, forming a dead ball.

"Damn it!"

Pietersen expressed a strong strangulation and it was a huge shame that he was not able to go further to intercept despite making an incomplete pass.

Standing up, Peterson ignored Logan, but turned his head, raised his chin towards Lu Ke demonstratively, a hint of provocation flashed in his eyes, and then turned around and returned to his defensive position again.

The provocation just now, he did it on purpose. He is not afraid of Lu Ke passing the ball in his direction, on the contrary, if Lu Ke is afraid and passes the ball to the other side, he will not have a stage to perform, and he will be extremely disappointed.

As a rookie, he needs such a stage to prove his strength and then become a starter. Since the league wants to tout Lu Ke as a representative of Asian players, he doesn't mind stepping on Lu Ke to prove that he is a good cornerback.

Two gears of ten yards.

This time the defense, in the face of the second-gear long yardage situation, the Cardinals' defensive position was significantly advanced, further shrinking the entire sense of pressure, giving the opposing offensive line more pressure and creating more opportunities.

After kick-off, Peterson once again took the initiative to rush forward, and completed a cross change with the early safety guard Adrick Wilson, and then Wilson played against Williams, while Peterson made an inward cut and rushed towards Logan, compressing Logan's running route, just when the two were about to collide together, Peterson made a mistake again, did not intercept and hit Logan, but rushed towards the crowded pocket -

At this time, defensive end Calais Campbell successfully entered the pocket, and Peterson's sudden pressure created an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, with a strong contrast beyond the three people, so that the 49ers offensive front line fell into a scramble predicament, and then, Lu Ke was exposed to Peterson's sight.

Retreat step, quick retreat step, facing the double attack of Campbell and Peterson, as well as the entire fragmented pocket, Lu Ke has nowhere to escape but to retreat quickly.

But there's a reason why a pocket quarterback is a pocket quarterback, not a running quarterback. Lu Ke's running steps were not flexible and light enough, and even seemed a little clumsy, almost a moment of breathing, Campbell and Peterson had already rushed to the ground, seeing that the grappling was about to be completed.

At this moment, Lu Ke mixed garlic under his feet and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Before the tackle was completed, Lu Ke made the dead ball by himself, and then he only had time to turn around and protect the rugby ball under him, and the next moment, Campbell and Peterson had already rushed over, patted Lu Ke's body, and after determining the dead ball, he didn't continue to embarrass Lu Ke-

Falling with the ball on their own was embarrassing enough, and they didn't need to continue humiliating the quarterbacks.

A mocking laugh rang out inside the University of Phoenix stadium, mercilessly mocking Lu Ke's embarrassment and clumsiness. After the start of the second half, the performance of the Cardinals finally picked up a little in the first two gears, which made the fans regain their confidence and focus again.

Peterson stood beside him, like an Australian Aborigine, danced a battle dance, his eyes widened, and he unscrupulously provoked Lu Ke's bottom line, as if to say: See? See! This is my strength, I can easily complete the crushing! The first half is history, and now on this pitch I'm in charge.

After showing off his martial arts, Peterson didn't pay attention to Lu Ke's reaction, turned around, and swaggered back to his position.

Three gears of sixteen yards.

After the start of the second half, the San Francisco 49ers not only failed to open the game and complete the advance, but also lost yards. The Arizona Cardinals, who made only one incomplete pass in the entire first half, exerted unparalleled pressure and immediately put the San Francisco 49ers in a difficult situation.

But in the blink of an eye, they were caught in the dilemma of three extra-long yards.

In rugby, it's normal to do this, and it's often just one or two small mistakes that can lead to strikeouts, which is the same as in football - not every attack can score goals, and you always have to fight each other in the back and forth.

Lu Ke stood up again, and Jim Hubble's tactical arrangement came from the headphones, "Run the ball, give the rugby to Marcus." ”

In the first wave of the second half, the 49ers' attack started at 20 yards from their own side, and after losing six yards just now, they had retreated to their 14-yard line, which was too close to the end area, and it was not easy to advance without exerting force, and a careless mistake could lead to a safety score; And it's a long distance of sixteen yards in three gears.

Hubble's intention to run couldn't be more obvious: arch a few yards forward with the run, find a more suitable punt position, abandon the attack, and then rearrange the offensive tactics and make a comeback. For one, this is the beginning of the second half, and there is no need to take risks; Second, they still have a huge advantage in the scoreline, and there is no need to rush.

But Lu Ke's thoughts were different.

The Cardinals will certainly be able to guess this idea, with a 60% or even 70% probability that 49ers will choose to run, and they are bound to pay more attention to running; At the same time, it can also complete the coverage of the short pass area, and further through the pressure of the raid, not to give Lu Ke the opportunity to complete the long pass.

In other words, the Cardinals can be more composed and more aggressive against a three-pitch 16-yard defense. The conservatism of the 49 people will further fuel their arrogance.

In Lu Ke's view, the opponent's defensive focus should be on raiding quarterbacks and running interceptions, supplemented by the coverage of short pass areas. Naturally, he won't have too many long passes, so he can choose a raid short pass to find Logan or Crabtree or even Marcus to tear through the defence in a quick and powerful way and get a better punt position.

It's bolder and more aggressive than running, but it's also more varied and unpredictable.

Lu Ke only used a few words to explain his meaning clearly, Hubble rolled his eyes speechlessly, and complained mercilessly, "To be honest, you just don't want to admit defeat in front of Peterson, right?" I thought you didn't care? ”

Without waiting for Lu Ke to explain, Hubble made a decision on the spot, "Then, let's do what you say." But, pay attention to plagiarism! If it is intercepted, the next game will be replaced by Alex Smith. ”

Hubble was an adventurous coach. On the negative side, this is the first wave of attack in the second half, and there is no need to rush for quick success; But on the positive side, even if this wave fails, the worst outcome is a touchdown and they have plenty of time to regain the advantage again.

Hubble belongs to the latter group and has the blood of a gambler in his bones.

"No problem." Lu Ke simply accepted it neatly, quickly summoned his teammates, and completed the tactical deployment.

Such an unexpected offensive tactic, but the offensive group players were accustomed to it, without any surprise, after confirming the instructions, they calmly turned around to complete the formation, ready to attack.

Then Peterson noticed the anomaly, and the San Francisco 49ers actually put on a shotgun formation!

Vernon Davis came on the court, replaced Kyle Williams, and formed a two-point forward strategy with Logan, with Vernon inside and Logan outside, both players on the right side, and the two tall and strong near end suddenly made this side bloated; On the left side, Crabtree and Jean are still in the middle of the line.

What's even more outrageous is that Marcus simply gave up his intention to disguise his identity, and as a receiver from the outside, he was in the position between the offensive forward and Vernon, slightly two steps behind, and blatantly put on a full-force pass offensive formation, and did not hide his posture of strong confrontation in the short pass area.

Now, the San Francisco 49ers have five receivers, so what should the Arizona Cardinals do?

Five defenders, corresponding to five receivers; four defensive forwards versus five offensive forwards; Two defensive second-lineers, defending backcourt raids.

If that's the case, and the defensive formation is completely led by the nose by the opponent, and the initiative has been lost before the attack, what should we do? What should they do?
