1566 Forced overtaking
Crabtree's brain remained absolutely calm, the freezing cold temperature tied up his muscles and feet, and the pace and strength of his running were not at average level, but the almost suffocating duel of strength allowed him to concentrate all his attention, and the slightest distraction could have lost his advantage - the vacancy of Ted Jean and Patrick Willis was more stark than ever, his teammates needed him, the team needed him, and he had to give it his all.
In a trance, Crabtree forgot about the injury and the cold for a while, and there was only one target in Tramon Williams.
Rush forward, change the line, brake, change the line again, and exert force.
In just ten yards of space, Crabtree made full use of the advantages of the offensive and defensive position, giving full play to his strengths in the short passing area, using the short-range explosiveness and muscle control of the physical fitness to shake off Tramon's card position and seize the opportunity in the process of moving forward at a constant pace.
Forty yard line.
Thirty-five yard line.
In the blink of an eye, the footsteps were approaching the 30-yard line with light and agility, and Crabtree had earned himself a two-yard catch.
Looking back at the moon, Crabtree caught the flying parabola of the rugby ball in the air and was ready to catch the ball, but then he realized Lu Ke's ambition - this was not a middle pass, but a long pass, aiming at the rainbow pass in the end area, a bold and risky choice, just like Lu Ke's style of play, Crabtree immediately realized his positional advantage.
"Michael Crabtree vs Tramon Williams"
This is a classic and traditional set of wide receivers and cornerbacks, the two sides are basically on the same starting line, and the strength and data of all aspects are relatively balanced, but if you look closely, the strengths and weaknesses between the two players are staggered:
Crabtree is the quintessential big wide receiver in the league right now, the size of a close end; Tramon, on the other hand, is one size smaller than Crabtree in height and weight, with nimble feet and speed, and is often able to use his running position to complete the card position.
In other words, in terms of speed, Tramont has the advantage; In terms of size, Crabtree has the upper hand.
If it was a mid-range pass between fifteen and twenty yards, then Crabtree had created the advantage and he could now complete the catch; But it was a long pass aimed at the end zone, which also meant that Crabtree was about thirty yards away from the end zone, which was not his advantage.
In the San Francisco 49ers' offensive group, the number one choice for long passes is Ted Jean, the second choice is Logan Newman, and the third choice is Anguang Bolting.
Michael Crabtree is rarely used as a long-pass weapon in offensive tactical permutations, not because of a lack of receiving ability, but because the lack of absolute speed prevents him from reaching Luke's passing position in a short period of time, which tends to put more pressure on the attacking frontline.
But just because it's rare doesn't mean it won't.
What's more, Lu Ke has created a perfect passing environment through prediction and layout-
At this time, only Crabtree and Tramon were left on the entire right flank to form a "one-on-one" situation, and the nearest safety guard, MD Jennings, was also half a court away, and it was impossible to catch up at all; At the same time, Lu Ke made full use of the delay of the pocket foot, leaving enough sprint time for Crabtree, who is now only about thirty yards away from the end area, and with the aerial flight time of the rainbow pass, Crabtree already has the possibility of completing the catch.
How could he miss it?
Crabtree didn't even think about it - and didn't have time, his body and brain reflexively reacted immediately:
Hasten! Full acceleration!
Although speed was not Crabtree's strong point, he still burst out all his energy, it seemed that even the blood began to burn, the bubbling and boiling heat of transpiration made the bitter cold disappear without a trace, it seemed that even the hunting wind was evolving into a hot wheel under his feet, and the whistling wind in his ears made all the green, yellow, and white around his vision all transform into a blurred halo, and the acceleration was instantly pushed to the extreme.
And that's not all.
At the same time, Crabtree's running line was slightly inclined to the left, using his size advantage to squeeze out Tramon's running lane - because he knew that his speed was not dominant, and in just two steps of space, Tramon would soon catch up, so he had to make the first move, make full use of the lead and size advantage he now has, and seize Tramon's track in advance, which also forced Tramon's position and overtake to become more difficult.
Thus, the overtaking scene of the Formula 1 car appeared.
Tramon took full advantage of his speed and tried to form a breakthrough from the left side of Crabtree, his instantaneous acceleration ability was not inferior to Crabtree, while the relative speed was easily stronger than Crabtree, and in the full acceleration phase from the 30-yard line to the 25-yard line to the 20-yard line, he had already smoothed out the distance between the two men with absolute speed, and the overtaking gap had appeared.
But Crabtree used his size advantage to jam the position, adjusting the running line little by little, the experienced stuck Tramon's overtaking line, skillfully pressing Tramon with half a body position, and holding the advantage without giving an inch, seeing that his feet had already entered the twenty-yard line, his speed had reached the limit, but he still gritted his teeth to maintain the sprint, always paying attention to Tramon behind him.
"Crabtree tree! Crabtree is speeding up in full swing! Williams' chaseback speed is very ferocious! Williams still hasn't given up on his defense! ”
"Thirty yards! Twenty-five yards! Twenty yards! ”
"Williams caught up with Crabtree, but Crabtree stuck the position with a nice incision, pretty! Williams was forced to step out and try to find an opportunity to overtake, but Crabtree's footsteps did not relax in the slightest, further pushing Williams' position out! ”
"Fifteen yards! Ten yards! ”
"Williams gave up on trying to overtake, he was hitting Crabtree with his body in an attempt to disrupt Crabtree's speed and balance, and now the positions of the two men have overlapped one after the other! Crabtree still used his size advantage to suppress Williams's entanglement! ”
"Foul! Yellow Flag Enters! ”
"Williams tried to stop Crabtree and there was a very obvious pulling foul, but he still couldn't hold back Crabtree's footsteps, which were already in the five-yard line! Pass! The football is falling fast, and Crabtree jumps ahead of Williams! Williams is jumping with all his might, trying to wreck rugby! ”
"But!"
"It's a shadow pass from behind the shoulder! Oh, God! God, precise control will teleport past Williams' zone of control and towards Crabtree Tree's back position! Crab Tree! Crab Tree! Catch! God, Crabtree caught the rugby! ”
Crabtree's eyes were fixed on the rugby, the spin speed and flight trajectory were slightly unstable, and the cold weather control of Lu Ke's passing still objectively existed, but the overall arc control and landing point control had returned to Lu Ke's average level, which also allowed Crabtree to make accurate judgments.
His body remained in a state of stagnation, and Crabtree could feel the impact of Williams hitting him with all the weight of his entire body, but his dantian still controlled that breath, his upper body remained stable, and his hands reached behind his shoulders.
Because of Tramon's continuous interference, Crabtree's speed was still a little worse, and he was finally forced to reluctantly choose to jump and catch the ball to make up for the gap in space, which also made him face a more difficult catch in mid-air, and his upper body was completely twisted back, and his hands reverently made a basket shape, waiting on the falling track of the rugby.
When the body rises to the highest point, spread the palm of the hand, and then, the fingertips meet the rugby ball - grab!
Crabtree grabbed the rugby ball firmly with his palms, raised his hands high, just like holding the newborn Simba in "The Lion King", avoided Tramon's impact as much as possible, and then his body fell rapidly in the pull of gravity, all the power and weight came rushing in.
When his feet hit the ground, he stumbled and quickly fell backwards towards the end zone, at which point Tramon put all the weight of his whole body on Crabtree's body, he raised his hands, grabbed the rugby ball in Crabtree's hand, and tried to snatch it.
In the case of unstable center of gravity, the footsteps of both people have been out of control, and the body has no way to exert force accurately, Crabtree gritted his teeth and lifted the rugby up, and a strange force erupted from the depths of his body, and he finished getting rid of Tramon's palm, but both of them have staggered and may fall at any time, and Crabtree has entered a state of forgetfulness, and he now has only one thought: touchdown.
Turning his head, Crabtree began to look for the location of the corner column, the bright orange corner column was particularly conspicuous in the blur compared to the end area line, and then, in the midst of the turbulence and chaos, the whole world seemed to have been turned upside down, and in the chaos and blur, he could not think seriously at all, and could only react with his own / ability -
In the midst of Tramon's full force suppression and collision, Crabtree barely completed the kicking movement, using the remaining strength to push his body out, and the upper body was completely stretched out, and he flew towards the corner post in a leaping posture.
Sou!
That's the wind.
Burst!
It was the sound of the impact, and Crabtree knew that he had knocked down the corner post with a rugby ball! He bumped into it! He's 100% sure he's hit it!
Beep!
That's the whistle, touchdown, success!
