330 And the next city
Crowd, crowd, crowd.
Standing on the front two yard line of the end area to attack, his line of sight was full of people, and he had the illusion that he was in a sea of people, as if he could barely take a step forward, but for Vernon, in this vast ocean, he could give full play to the advantages of size and strength, like a lighthouse, and he could instantly attract all the offensive and defensive firepower in the end area.
After kick-off, Vernon did not hesitate or pause, and began to run in the direction of the 45-degree angle on the right, and the entire San Francisco 49ers offensive group was moving to the right, like a small mountain, rumbling, and the earth-shaking force crashed into the defense of the Tampa Bay Pirates with a tough attitude.
In the dense defense, Vernon was like a shark that broke into a school of sardines, roaring past, dodging left and right to kill into the crowd, and in a devastating posture, the obstacles on the road were in a state of devastating attitude, and the peripheral vision could see that Williams, Jean, Crabtree and others were all rushing to the right, forming a group advantage, scattered in all corners on the right side of the end zone.
Suddenly, Vernon's footsteps paused, and he cut inside into the middle area in the opposite direction, and without pausing, he came to the bottom line of the end zone under the drive of inertia, turned around, raised his hand, and then saw the rugby ball crash like a cannonball.
A little higher, a little farther away.
The pupils contracted suddenly, and the cooperation between the two people was still not tacit enough, and the entire passing route and the control of the force could not fit perfectly. But, Vernon doesn't care, this pass, he's going to decide! Even if you pull your teeth, you won't back down!
With a slam of his feet, he bounced high, and took the first step on top of the heads of the defenders around him, stretched his arms lightly, grabbed the rugby ball fiercely and fiercely in the midst of the storm, and then retracted it with both hands, and hugged the rugby ball to his chest before his body began to fall.
The pull of gravity made every cell in the body start to scream, but then I felt a strong impact, like a high-speed train, slammed into the back, and all the internal organs began to roll, and the surging force made every bone begin to gurgle, making people almost suspect that they were lying under the steamroller.
The pain erupted instantly, but Vernon's brain was blank, there was no time to think, no time to hesitate, just relying on the instinct/ability of conditioned reflexes, gritting his teeth, falling heavily, and stepping on the grass with both feet firmly on the grass; The muscles tightened to the extreme, all ten fingers tightened, firmly holding the rugby, and then straightened his waist, trying to stabilize his center of gravity-
Be a little steady, a little more steady; A little longer, a little longer.
He had to make sure that his feet were in bounds, he had to control his feet and muscles, even in a thousandth of a millisecond, he had to use all his strength to do so.
For a moment, time seemed to stop, all the explosive power and impact stopped at a certain moment, even the pain disappeared, and the skills of the reaction nerves and body muscles were controlled to the extreme; Then, the world entered the fast-forward mode at ten times the speed, and his whole body flew out heavily, accompanied by a muffled "bang".
Vernon had only one thought in his head: Why did sound travel so slowly? He's already dying of pain, and now he's only hearing a voice? What's going on?
Then, like a discarded garbage bag, Vernon flew out, slid on the ground for a short while, and finally crashed into the guardrail at the end of the court, only to stop, every muscle in his body was protesting, and every figure in his vision was chaotic, but Vernon's first reaction was, "Is the catch done?" ”
……
"Incredible! Incredible! Vernon Davis, the 85-end near end of the San Francisco 49ers, completed an incredible catch, and after receiving the ball with a gravity-defying defense when his body lost control, he controlled his body and tried to complete a touchdown! Once again, Vernon replicated the magic of the touchline catch! ”
After witnessing such a catch, still unable to believe their eyes, Kirk and Teddy exchanged glances, and a smile appeared on their faces - not because of victory or defeat, but simply because of the wonderful performance of this passing and receiving, the charm of competitive sports was brought into full play!
"Wow, the second time, the second time in this attack, Vernon was in a thrilling state to complete the catch, and our naked eyes couldn't tell if it was a legal catch, and the referees had to confirm it through the video replay. But there is no doubt that Lu Ke passed beautifully, and Vernon received it even more beautifully! This form once again gave us a glimpse of his 2009 Pro Bowl selection. ”
Objectively speaking, in this attack, Lu Ke's two passes were deviated, although there was a tacit understanding problem, but it was more because Lu Ke's hand control was not delicate enough; But in the end, Vernon received the football smoothly, completely relying on his absolute strength, such a close end is an important offensive weapon for any team.
Immediately after Teddy's exclamation, the studio began to play a replay, and the eyes of the two commentators were both projected to make sure that the pass had been completed.
"First of all, the ball is controlled with both hands, there is no doubt about it, there is no wobble and gaps, there is no problem with protecting the ball; Secondly, the feet, the problem of the feet...... Then let's take a look, this angle, I can't see it clearly, there is some ambiguity/ambiguity, it seems to be stuck on the bottom line, and it is not clear. We need to change the angle to see, the director, do we have another angle of the lens now? ”
Throughout the football field, there are shots from every angle, and NFL officials can see all the shots; However, the number of shots on the live broadcast side is relatively small, and it takes a little time to retrieve the shots.
As a result, Teddy and Kirk can only revisit the same video over and over again, but this angle is indeed a bit blurry and cannot make an accurate judgment. The suspense can only wait for the referee to reveal.
"It's hard to judge, it's so hard to judge. The referee also needs to watch the replay repeatedly. Kirk took the opportunity to start a whole new topic, "Vernon's thrilling catches in those two key moments reminded me of the Pittsburgh Steelers' rookie wide receiver last year, Antonio-Bron, what do you think?" ”
"Last year, who would have thought that this six-round 195-pick wide receiver would perform so well in his rookie season, showing the absolute strength of a big wide receiver. In the two catches just now, Vernon's receiving touch and body control are indeed reminiscent of Brown, not at all like a close end, completely a big wide receiver. Kirk shared his views and opinions.
Teddy didn't agree or disagree, but said with a smile, "Does this prove once again that every year in the draft, 32 teams are really a lot of eyes-wreckant?" ”
While speaking, the referee finally finished the review and confirmed the result.
The waiting time was too long, Jeff, Chris and others in the stands couldn't help but stand up, after the explosive pass and catch, the suspected touchdown of the knife tip, and the adrenaline was all detonated, but now they have to endure more torment, the heart is almost bursting, and all eyes are focused on the referee, watching him walk onto the court.
On the NFL court, all the referee's decisions will turn on the portable microphone to announce the result to the audience in an open and fair manner, and then under the watchful eye, the referee will turn on the portable microphone and announce the result to the audience-
"After looking back, the No. 85 player successfully completed the catch, and both feet were in bounds, so, San Francisco 49ers, touchdown!" After saying that, the referee raised his hands and made a touchdown gesture to confirm the result of the touchdown.
"Ahhh Touchdown! Jeff jumped three feet high, jumped high, and then jumped on top of Danny, waving his right hand vigorously, and roaring to the fullest, "Touchdown!" Touchdown! Touchdown! ”
Candlestick Field was boiling again: they asked for another touchdown, and although it took some effort and time, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team actually got another touchdown, and before the first half was over, they had already taken a three-touchdown lead, which was too dreamy and too beautiful.
All the fans in the stadium got carried away and shouted in unison, "Touchdown!" Touchdown! Touchdown! At this moment, the Candlestick Stadium has completely entered a state of selflessness and burst out with an unstoppable and powerful momentum.
Before the end of the half, the team had already collected three touchdowns, and even the offensive team members on the court fell into ecstasy.
Vernon sprinted up regardless of it, took off his helmet in one go, threw it back, and then rushed in front of Lu Ke, roaring and roaring, "We are!" ”
"Warrior!" Without any hesitation or hesitation, Lu Ke roared back with an absolutely tough attitude, and the two of them jumped up and completed a chest-banging celebration ceremony, and then Vernon laughed ecstatically, "Wonderful, wonderful, this is really wonderful!" ”
"Hey, hey, this bum, where's your helmet? You don't want your helmet anymore? There was a grumbling sound from behind him, and then Vernon turned his head blankly, only to notice that he had actually thrown his helmet into the audience, and quickly lowered his head, bent over, and trotted all the way over, and in the midst of laughter, retrieved his helmet.
It was indeed a spectacular game for the San Francisco 49ers, who had already scored three touchdowns just over the halfway point of the second quarter, and their opponents still failed to score; But for the Tampa Bay Pirates, it was a complete disaster.
And the disaster is not over.
