Take a deep breath, a deep, deep breath, as if it would never stop, and inhale long; Everything in sight slowed down, and all the movements of the whole world were playing at a speed that was ten or twenty times slower, the trails of the breeze, the warm-up movements of the players, the running figures of the caddies......

Everything is so slow, so clear, and so real. Even when using the special skill bullet time, the vision is not so high-definition.

Different, every detail, every link, every part is different. He could feel it clearly.

The Paul Brown Course is more open and empty, the semi-open course blooms like a flower, and standing on the court, the view can capture a large expanse of the sky and buildings, and the sense of space and location of the whole course is completely different, even the angle of light and the halo of refraction of the line of sight.

The stands at Paul Brown Field are more open, with white, black and orange jerseys spread out in a vast array of colors, more dull and unfamiliar than red and gold; It seems that the shouts and cheers of the audience are also different, and the echo effect is more obvious due to the lack of the congregate response of the stadium building.

Everything is different, it's like putting on a pair of shoes of different sizes, you can wear them, but you don't feel comfortable all over your body.

Objectively speaking, the environment of Paul Brown Stadium is more gentle than that of Candlestick Stadium because of the less wind and more open vision; What's more, the weather here is much more comfortable, the real autumn weather, in the middle of September, not too wet, not too dry, not too hot, not too cold, after a simple warm-up exercise, the body muscles are quickly put into shape.

However, Lu Ke still didn't adapt. He was used to the Candlestick Stadium, where the wind, the direction, the lights, the space, the temperature, and so on. As people say, neither the gold nor the silver can compare to their own kennels. He still likes to play at Candlestick Stadium.

Before leaving, after arriving, and even before debuting, Lu Ke didn't realize this. Because, this is the first time in his career that he has played away from home in the true sense of the word.

against the University of Southern California and the University of Wisconsin, both at home in the Rose Bowl; Against the Seattle Seahawks and against the Dallas Cowboys, the home stadium is Candlestick Field. Everything is familiar to him, familiar to the dressing room, familiar passages, familiar environment, he trains on the same field, he plays on the same field.

The reason why the home stadium is the home stadium is not because the stadium is better, but because the home environment is more familiar. Lu Ke never realized that the away game would be a problem - although the media kept saying it, although the coach kept saying it, although all his teammates kept saying it, but without experiencing it personally, the feeling was different after all.

In the past, when he went to the away game, Lu Ke was a spectator, sitting on the bench and observing everything as a spectator. But today, Lu Ke stood on the court, became a member of the game, and even controlled the game.

Lu Ke thought that he had experienced strong winds and waves, and his strong heart didn't know what tension was. But, at this point, he felt nervous again, as if he was in danger against the USC Trojans. That emotion can't be controlled or suppressed, it can only be skillfully used and transformed into the motivation of the game.

"Bambi! Bambi! A call exploded in Lu Ke's ears from far and near, and the deep breath finally stopped, Lu Ke turned his head suddenly, and then saw his teammates, standing in a circle, waiting for Lu Ke's orders.

It was Logan, "Bambi? The clock is counting down! Are you okay? ”

Lu Ke's eyes glanced at the countdown clock at the end of the end area, and the forty-second countdown had reached thirty-seven seconds. Everything just now happened in just three seconds, but it seems like a whole century has passed.

Lu Ke retracted his fingertips, picked up the towel hanging from his waist, and wiped off the warm sweat; Then straighten your fingers again to let the tension ease.

The Cincinnati Tigers vs. San Francisco 49ers game has three minutes and forty-eight seconds underway.

The first to attack was the Tigers, with Andy Dalton leading the offensive team onto the court and attacking with great vigour, steadily advancing through the half; Unfortunately, the attack ended here, the strikeouts were out, and the distance of the free kick was still too far after all, and the Tigers could only regretfully choose to abandon the kick.

Then, Lu Ke led the team on the field.

"Attention!" Lu Ke greeted his teammates, but there was a rumbling sound in his ears, like thunder, like a storm, like a shower, not the deafening explosion, but the noisy sound of wind and rain, swaying so leisurely that it disturbed the mind, and even worse, Lu Ke's voice was completely drowned out, as if it had encountered a wall of air, and it could not spread at all.

Although, Paul Brown Stadium was not full at all, and more than a third of the field was empty; However, the home fans present did not show weakness, and gave the San Francisco 49ers a dismount with practical actions, and the overwhelming cheers shocked every player in the offensive group.

Lu Ke frowned slightly, beckoning his teammates to get closer, everyone formed a circle, head to head; Lu Ke knelt on one knee, stood in the center, and shouted with the strength of his dantian, "Guys, this is our first away game of the season, which means that the season has really begun." I need a win! Who is on the same side as me? ”

The words were simple, but sonorous and powerful, and then, Lu Ke stretched out his right hand. Logan and Marcus stretched out their right hands almost at the same time, overlapping the back of Lu Ke's hand, and then the other players also joined in, one after the other, and soon, everyone's palms overlapped each other.

"Excellent! Then let's get some touchdowns! Lu Ke roared with all his might, "Count to three!" One, two, three, the game begins! At the third sound, everyone's arms were raised high and pointed to the sky.

Subsequently, according to Jim Hubble's pre-game arrangement, Lu Ke quickly completed the tactical arrangement, in the erratic shouts of Paul Brown Field, it is really not an easy task to arrange tactics, simple passwords, simple gestures, to ensure that every player receives the signal, announced the completion.

Soon, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive group completed the formation.

"Attack!"

The screams and shouts were so turbulent that they hit Lu Ke's eardrums like thunder, and he couldn't even hear his own voice, struggling to survive in the midst of the mountains and tsunamis, looking weak and unsustainable; Just as he began to wonder if the sound of his tee shot was coming out, his hands were already feeling the rugby, and he didn't have time to think deeply, and his steps habitually stepped back quickly.

With his chin raised high, he took in the defensive formation running route in the first half, but only saw a thick iron curtain, wearing a white shirt, black football pants, and orange colorful tiger stripes, like a moat, tightly blocking the offensive line from the receiver.

The footsteps moved quickly, the eyes scanned from left to right, but there was no time to find the space of the receiver, and between the lightning and flint, the vision had already captured the torn offensive front: the players on the defensive front line were like bulldozers, pushing the 49ers' offensive forward line to continue to rush forward, and the pockets were rapidly compressing and compressing.

Back off!

The danger signal had just sounded, and the retreat was slightly a quarter of a beat slower, and a pair of palms with orange gloves appeared in his sight, like a fan, slapping down fiercely.

Lu Ke was short and tried to dodge, but his movements were still a little slower, his shoulders and arms were firmly grasped by the other party, and the hot pain came, and the crisp sound of "pop" was not strong, but it was tight enough; In the next second, Lu Ke felt the powerful power and the call of gravity, and the whole person was dragged and fell to the ground, and the green grass clippings and fanatical cheers were like a slap in the face, and they were thrown the cheek.

But that's not the end of it.

The next moment, the 49-man offensive front pocket was completely crushed, and several players lost their center of gravity, as if they were toppling a mountain, one after another, there were Tiger players and 49-man players, and they fell on Lu Ke one after another, layer upon layer as if stacking Arhats.

"Grass!" Lu Ke clenched his fists and pounded the lawn hard, the dull touch faintly stabbed a tingling, and the stiff and tense muscles were slightly relieved; But the anger surging in his chest could not be vented at all, only gurgling, hitting his chest, and aching faintly.

The sack, the first block of the San Francisco 49ers' game, ended with a Cincinnati Tigers' sack!

Anger is not directed at the attacking front, but at oneself. Just now, because of nervousness, misjudgment, and slow reaction, the performance was simply terrible!

In the defensive reading, he read the opponent's surprise intentions, and there was nothing wrong with the "4-3" formation; But he ignored the opponent's entire offensive line moving forward, boldly and frantically gave up the backcourt defense, and threw his troops into the surprise attack-

The safety guards defended the mid-pass and corner-back defended the short pass, while the lineback gave up the defense of the short pass and the running ball, and threw off his arms to throw himself into the quarterback raid, which also means that the entire first-line group is attacking the offensive line of the 49ers.

Faced with such a defensive plan, quickly handing the football to the running back is the best option for pocket quarterbacks. However, Lu Ke made a mistake in judgment because of his negligence in defensive reading; Then in the face of the crisis of torn pockets, the brain reacted a quarter of a beat slower, just this millisecond difference, and the footsteps did not have time to retreat at all, and they were directly captured and killed on the ground.

One error, then another. In the end, this is the end!

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Ke really understood what the away game meant, but he was extremely angry with himself, even more disappointed, and it was not that he had never seen the world, and he would actually lead to a series of misjudgments because of nervousness.

"Grass!" Lu Ke slammed the lawn again.
