1487 Stand firm
The unexpected reappeared!
The Arizona Cardinals, who had just broken the deadlock with a passing touchdown, made a "trick attack" in the tee-off, upsetting the balance with an unexpectedly short tee.
It can be seen from the side that for this game, the Arizona Cardinals' pre-game preparation is richer and more comprehensive than imagined - compared to the San Francisco 49ers, the Arizona Cardinals are the weak side that needs to fight hard, and they naturally have accumulated all their strength to prepare to overturn the opponent, following the Seattle Seahawks to overthrow the San Francisco 49ers again.
San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver for the kick-off shoot-back attack, Qassem Osgood, didn't expect such an unexpected state of affairs, and his initial position was near the front of the end zone, but the opponent drove the ball near the 30-yard line and bounced low on the ground like a gopher.
The distance was too far, the center of gravity was too low, and the bouncing irregularity was irregular, and Osgood rushed forward at the first time, ready to catch the ball, but the rugby ball that was beating like a bouncing ball did not stop at all, so that Osgood had to act with his heart to avoid making mistakes-
If the team responsible for the kick-off return touches the ball first, but then loses control of the rugby, it means that the rugby ball is dead, and the team responsible for the kick-off can start to take possession of the ball.
To put it simply, if Osgood touches the rugby ball but is not able to control the purple rugby, then whoever grabs the rugby will have the offensive ball next, that is, if this happens, and the Arizona Cardinals players control the ball again, then the home team's offensive team will once again be given a chance to attack from the away team, which will be a real disaster.
Conversely, assuming that Osgood and the other away players do not touch the football from start to finish, then the football does not convert possession and does not form a dead ball, and the Arizona Cardinals players can touch the football, but the moment they touch the football, the dead ball is immediately formed, and the spot is the starting point of the kick-off; At the same time, if football were to enter the San Francisco end zone like this, then San Francisco's starting position would automatically be above the standard 20-yard line.
In other words, Osgood's position now is more wrong than wrong.
Because the rugby ball was always bouncing low on the ground, Osgood didn't dare to act rashly without being completely sure, so he could only protect the rugby ball and always wait for the opportunity to move, and the rugby ball continued to bounce back and forth, back on the five-yard line of the San Francisco half - and then popped off the sideline.
The San Francisco 49ers offensive team will start attacking from the five-yard line of their own half.
Although the current score on the field is only "7:0", the two sides are still in the same position and have not opened up the gap; But today, Lady Luck seems to have taken a stand — on the side of the Arizona Cardinals, and the San Francisco 49ers are feeling the full range of "flying against the wind."
The atmosphere inside the University of Phoenix Ball is undergoing subtle changes, the main morning air is rising, and the whole ball is infinitely close to the boiling point!
Involuntarily, Aldon's mood became more and more agitated: what to do, what to do, what to do? Countless question marks surged in the brain monkey, and then Aldon's eyes fell on Lu Ke: still calm and calm, still step-by-step, still calm.
Not only that, but even with it, the emotions of the other teammates in the offensive group have also remained stable and relaxed, and their attention is completely focused on themselves: they have no way to change the state of the opponent, the only thing they can do is to improve their state, just like the countless problems in the past two seasons, Lu Yiyuan is the most resolute and brave one in the team, leading the offensive team to face one strong opponent after another.
Only then did Aldon realize that he was distracted.
He didn't have to worry about Willis, he didn't have to worry about his teammates, and he didn't have to be annoyed by the defense just now, he calmed down and got back to the game:
Analyze the situation with the coach of the defensive team and reframe the tactics for the next wave of defense; Adjust to the opponent's tactics and look for opportunities to counter-attack - now it's just a touchdown to be conceded, it's not the end of the world. The immediate priority is to avoid conceding another touchdown, and the defense still has three quarters to complete.
Unconsciously, Aldon's train of thought became clear.
Although he was still a little agitated, he forced himself to take a deep breath, take another deep breath, then turned around and walked in the direction of Vic Fangio:
Even if the situation is bad, they still have a chance, because Lu Yan led the offensive team to stabilize the scene, looking for a breakthrough opportunity little by little, isn't it? And what the defensive team needs now is not to blame themselves or panic, but to quickly stabilize their feet, complete their game tasks, and provide more support to their offensive teammates, right? It's impossible to win by relying solely on your offensive teammates, isn't it?
Aldon believes in Landing Ke.
It was precisely because of believing in Lu Ke that things became simpler, and Aldon's brain became clear again.
Justin Smith and Ahmed Brooks, who were standing next to him, also came to Fangio's side automatically, without slogans or calls, without Willis's composure and composure, but the defensive team's attention still returned to the game, because they were a team of eleven, they had each other's best back, all they needed to do now was believe in each other and get back on track.
At the same time, the offensive group came in.
When he came on the court, Lu Minyi saw that Osgood was a little depressed and depressed and drooped his shoulders, he didn't say anything, just patted Osgood's chest heavily, and then walked onto the court - no matter how difficult and bumpy the situation is, they can always find a way out, not to mention, it's only the second quarter of the game, isn't it? The arrogance and integrity of the defending champion can't be crushed so easily, can it?
Standing above his own five-yard line, Lu Ke's attention remained highly focused.
He knows that the team is a little tight up and down, including himself, because of the importance of the game and because of the special nature of the opponent. This game was different from the Seattle Seahawks, the whole atmosphere, the situation and the situation were changing the situation of the match, and the swings of the two sides were also different.
He needs to be more patient. At this time, what is worse than the anxiety of the situation is the loss of patience due to impatience, which will disrupt your rhythm.
Ten yards in gear.
For most teams, the offensive team tends to run the ball to open the game, while the defensive team tends to create chaos by pressing from the front line and forcing the quarterback to make mistakes. However, Lu Ke often dares to pass the ball boldly, and the middle pass and long pass can tear through the defense, easily escaping the embarrassing offensive starting position at the front of the end zone.
The Arizona Cardinals seem to have carefully studied Lu Ke's countless game videos and prepared in advance, and this time the defense basically gave up the front-line pressure, only sending four defensive front-line players to carry out the pressure of rushing passes, and all the other players all retreated to start a tight second-line defense - even the four players responsible for the pressure did not completely press, and the footsteps seemed to be ready to retreat at any time to complete the defense in the short pass area.
Obviously, the away team's defensive team tried to catch Lu Ke off guard again and sabotage Lu Ke's intentions on a strategic level. This is undoubtedly a unique approach to the game.
If the Seattle Seahawks defensive team is a force to ten clubs, self-centered, relying on absolute strength to impact the offensive group led by Lu Ke; Then the Arizona Cardinals' defensive team is a smart game, trying to disrupt Lu Yan's overall rhythm from the foundation, and then win more advantages for the defense.
Both of these ways of playing are new and have not been tried by any other team – the Seattle Seahawks' approach cannot be replicated because no other team has the ability to do so; The Arizona Cardinals' approach is risky, because the offensive group has an innate advantage, and no defensive coach can compete with Lu Ke's adaptability, and the power of Vonderrick's perfect score in the test is prohibitive for many coaches.
Now, the Arizona Cardinals have to find a different way to fight their way out.
I have to say that they do have a unique feature - in this attack, Hubble did arrange Lu Long's pass.
But don't forget that Lu Ke's strength lies in strategizing and changing.
Although the offensive tactics were recognized by the defensive team, in the process of defensive reading, Lu Wei caught the clues, and after the kickoff, he was ready to adjust his steps in an orderly manner, on the one hand, he guarded against the possibility of the opponent fully exerting pressure with a four-person rush, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to leave the pocket to find a passing target.
In the footsteps, Lu Ke immediately determined that the opponent's defensive center of gravity began to move back in an all-round way, although the middle pass area and the long pass area were full of defenders, but there was still a relative gap in the short pass area, which made Lu Ke calmly begin to observe, waiting for an opportunity to find a passing line.
First, Marcus appeared. Marcus, who was standing in a pistol formation, shook Lu Ke's side, jumped out of the gap in the center of the offensive line, and his strong footsteps immediately advanced about five or six yards, and there were no defenders around him, and the passing gap appeared directly.
But Lu Ke didn't rush to pass the football - the Arizona Cardinals cut off the middle pass and the long pass, and the pressure of the frontline rush pass is pretending, does this mean that the short pass area is a trap?
Lu Yu sent a pass and was able to connect with Marcus immediately, but how far could he advance? You may be tackled immediately after receiving the ball.
So, Lu Ke deliberately made a passing action, but at the moment when he was about to release the ball, he paused slightly, and then he could see that the situation on the field showed a different look: patience can always be rewarded!
