"In the last minute of this wave of offense, Lu Ke passed a 24-yard pass, completed the connection with Ted Jean, and the latter finished perfectly, successfully scored the fifth touchdown of the game for the San Francisco 49ers, the third quarter of the game has come to an end, and now for the Arizona Cardinals, it is becoming more and more difficult for the Arizona Cardinals to win this game."

Off the pitch, the game has resumed. The special services teams on both sides are on the field, and Kirk and Teddy are back to work.

It is now evident that there is a stark gap in the morale of the two teams.

On the side of the 49ers, every player in the special service group high-fived Lu Ke to celebrate before walking on the court, and they also expressed their support and recognition for the team's main quarterback in this way; The Cardinals, on the other hand, looked dull and depressing, especially Peterson.

After Jean completed the touchdown, Peterson lay on the grass, unable to get up for a long time, and seemed to be still immersed in the heavy blow just now, unable to recover; Even when he later stood up, Peterson's body language seemed a little dazed, as if he had lost his way and couldn't find the right track.

Standing in place, those eyes searched around blankly, revealing a deep helplessness: what had just happened? How did all this happen?

"Cornerback, cornerback, cornerback, the Cardinals' cornerback position has been completely useless in this game, if it weren't for the help of the lineback and the guard, I'm afraid the current situation will be even worse." Kirk hit the nail on the head and pointed out the biggest problem on the field, and it was also the direct reason why the two teams could not form a confrontation in the confrontation.

Teddy took over the conversation, "So, what do you think the Cardinals will have to change in the next game to keep up with the pace of the game, and even get a glimpse of the hope of a comeback?" ”

"Cornerbacks, the first to bear the brunt of the cornerbacks, Peterson and Marshall, the two cornerbacks have to do their job of playing, the opponent finishes the catch, it doesn't matter, but don't miss the tackle! Once the 49ers' receiving team gets up to speed, it's going to be terrifying. ”

Kirk mercilessly named two players, the hero of the last game, but this one is becoming a sinner, and the loss of control of one link immediately led to a chain reaction.

"Secondly, anti-run. Now, the Cardinals have invested a lot of troops in raiding the quarterbacks, intending to put more pressure on the opposing quarterbacks, which is a good thing, judging from the current game, Lu Ke has always passed the ball under pressure, which is indeed creating more opportunities for the Cardinals' defensive group; But, don't forget to run the ball offensively! ”

"Looking back at the first half, Marcus Lynch's running ball was pushed to a full 87 yards, which was just a half-court performance, and it was converted into two touchdowns, and the strength of the running offense laid the foundation for the passing offense, which in turn created more space for Lu Ke's long pass."

"The Cardinals need to keep Lynch's running guard and pulls down while raiding the quarterback, which is crucial. Now, the Cardinals are in a completely unfavorable situation, and the collapse of the defensive group across the line is definitely a major key; But also, we must not forget, what about the offensive group? Larry Fitzgerald is on his own, and there's no way to help the Cardinals turn the game around. ”

Objectively speaking, Kirk's analysis is really not enough, because in this game, the San Francisco 49ers are fully dominating, relatively speaking, the Arizona Cardinals are also facing challenges in all positions, they want to reverse the decline, it is definitely not so simple, Kirk can only start from the key position.

At this point, the special teams of both sides have finished kicking the bonus points and ended the kick-off attack.

David Arkens was in a relaxed environment, in a carefree state, and steadily kicked the play-offs, keeping the play-off power of the season at 100 percent, so that the score on the field came to "10:35".

Even if they pick two point-offs after each touchdown and are successful, the Cardinals will need at least four offensive possessions to turn the game around; And the premise is that the 49ers can't continue to score. It's hard, it's hard to get to the sky!

But in the face of such a difficult situation, the first step for the Cardinals must start with attack, and in this wave of attack, they must score points, even if it is a free kick, which is an important breakthrough. Because, after the first quarter, they were never able to push through the half, let alone a free kick attempt or a touchdown attempt, which was the biggest reason why the game was in trouble.

The Cardinals' coaching staff was aware of this, and instead of choosing to receive the ball safely when it came time to kick off the tee, they unexpectedly chose to return the ball.

The 49-man Secret Service team in charge of the tee shot was completely unexpected, and was caught off guard, but they still completed the encirclement in time, did not brew a bigger tragedy, and completed the interception above the Cardinals' half-time 36-yard line, ending the advance of the kick-off attack.

John Skelton led the offensive team to the pitch – or rather, Larry Fitzgerald led the offense – the 36-yard line, which was already their best offensive starting position for the day, and with less than four minutes left before the end of the third quarter, if this wave of offense couldn't score points, the game could go into garbage time.

Realizing this, the Cardinals' offensive team burst out with unprecedented energy, not only Fitzgerald, but also running and short passing, they ran and passed, successfully pushed through the half, and Fitzgerald completed the three-gear transition at the key moment and entered the red zone of the San Francisco 49ers.

In the dense defensive confrontation in the red zone, the 49ers still picked up their spirits in time and completed three beautiful defenses in a row, allowing the Cardinals to return in vain.

Faced with such a predicament, the Cardinals finally chose to make a desperate bet and decided to attack in four gears, and the offensive and defensive groups of the two sides lined up again; However, this is just a cover, and the Cardinals are just trying to fake kickoffs and trick early moves, hoping to automatically get the first opportunity.

However, the 49ers' defensive group was highly focused and made no mistakes. As a result, the Cardinals could only deliberately exceed the tee time limit before kick-off, were given a tee time out, a five-yard penalty, and then switched to the special service team to make a free kick kick attempt.

The reason for this choice is, first, to avoid wasting pauses, and may need to be used at critical moments.

Second, this is a 20-yard free kick attempt, too close to the goal, the opponent's special service team is actually better to defend, because this requires the kicker to kick the arc of the rugby higher and sharper, and if you are not careful, you may be slapped off by the opponent, after the penalty of five yards, this is a 25-yard free kick, and the difficulty is relatively reduced.

After all, the Cardinals opted for a free-kick instead of hitting a four-yard three.

This small detail can be seen, after all, they still lack the Jim Hubble-style gambler temperament, in the face of the score and the situation of the overall downfall, they still have not been able to really break the boat, desperate, in the case of no retreat, still do not dare to take risks easily, but safely choose free kicks.

A free kick is really a drop in the bucket for a score of "10:35".

It is precisely because of the lack of this iron-blooded ruthlessness that in the clash of strong matchups, the Arizona Cardinals were completely suppressed by their opponents today, and they were not able to play the home advantage at all.

Of course, this is only an afterthought on paper, and it is easy to express opinions, but it is difficult to execute the game. After much deliberation, the Cardinals opted for a free-kick in the hope of scoring quickly, at least opening up the dreary atmosphere of the offensive team, and then looking for more opportunities in the fourth quarter.

So, the Cardinals' veteran kicker Jay Fili is back on the scene.

In the face of a 25-yard free kick, 100 out of 100 penalties are usually given, and there will be no wavering or mistakes; But today, Filip kicked away, kicked away incredibly, and the angle and direction of the deviation were really outrageous, everyone couldn't help but let out exclamations, and Fili stood in place with a stunned face, unwilling to leave for a long time.

I gave up the adventure and chose insurance, but now the insurance has also failed.

Losing the free-kick was a death sentence for the Cardinals.

Although there were still fifteen minutes left in the fourth quarter, the gap of 25 points was huge, but it was still not the end of the world; However, there is still too little hope for a reversal.

Because the 49ers offensive team showed excellent form in today's game, unless it suddenly collapsed in the fourth quarter of the game, three consecutive strikeouts, or even took the initiative to send the ball to convert, the Cardinals can win a glimmer of hope. But, is this possible?

In this regard, Lu Ke's answer is: No way!

Before the start of the official game, Lu Ke had already glimpsed the mystery from the game task, "Complete the designated formation pass in the fourth quarter of the game: task requirements: advance at least 30 yards in the screen short pass or two-by-two formation."

On the one hand, this means that in the fourth quarter, the game must still be vigilant and not slacken in the slightest, and the opponent will definitely be watching and waiting for the opportunity to move, and no slightest opportunity will be easily missed.

On the other hand, it also means that the fourth quarter of the game is dominated by control, not only to control the game time - to consume time as much as possible, but also to get more effective first attacks in the steady advancement, so as to further consume time and achieve the purpose of control.

The two offensive formation options in the game mission are actually basic formations, which are more stable short pass advancements than attack power, in other words, control the game through the permutations and combinations of techniques and tactics. That's another delicate job for a quarterback.

Lu Ke naturally will not take it lightly. This victory, he is going to decide!
