566 The Rabbit Rises and Falls
In the first half of the meeting, the offensive team of the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks both showed enough ability, steady and gradual advancement, and there was no embarrassing situation of strikeouts as soon as they came on the court; Moreover, both teams that took turns to play fulfilled their desire to be able to walk away with points every time they played.
So, the time spent on the game was very obvious. When the Seattle Seahawks scored another free-kick, the first-half timeout was over, leaving the San Francisco 49ers with only 23 minutes left in the game.
Eighty-three seconds!
The only positive thing is that the 49ers still have three timeouts.
Lu Ke, who was put on the battlefield for the fourth time in today's game, put on a shotgun formation at the beginning, continuously showing the strong control ability of the short pass attack, and the two sidelines were in full bloom, always able to tear open the loopholes in the strict defense and find the passing target-
Richard Sherman, who has attracted attention because of his mouth cannon, is still trapped in the rookie barrier and is plagued by card mistakes, Logan Newman and Vernon Davis constantly switch positions, interpreting the mystery of the two-close end tactics vividly, taking turns switching positions and attacking cornerbacks.
Faced with two close forwards with very different styles, difficult to dominate in size and difficult to find rhythm in the position, Sherman was really tired of coping, repeatedly losing position, and could only watch as the San Francisco 49ers successfully advanced again and again, while also successfully going out of bounds and controlling the game time.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't bear to look at him anymore and replaced Richard Sherman with Philip-Adams and adjusted his tactical set-up.
Hoarding heavy players in the short and mid-pass areas, two Pro Bowl-level safety guards, Cam-Chancellor and Earl-Thomas, also advanced their positions at the same time, further compressing the space and putting more pressure on the defense, denying opponents the opportunity to advance.
Lu Ke, who opened the situation in the continuous short pass and middle pass, let go of his hands and feet, and in the tactic of a fake run and real pass, he adjusted the angle of incidence of the pass at the moment of shooting, pulled the arc high, and passed a stunning rainbow ball, once again sacrificing the famous stunt of the first week of the regular season.
The football flew vigorously across the half-court, and after advancing for a full forty-three yards, he found Ted Jean, who was constantly changing lanes and speeds, and in the constant harassment of the security guard Jeansle, Jean was unmoved to complete the catch, but unfortunately could not continue to advance, and then fell to the ground, and Chancellor successfully completed the tackle.
Still, this long pass dealt a fatal blow to the Seahawks defense, and the 49ers once again pushed into the red zone with a bang, to the nine-yard line, and a touchdown.
In the next red zone defense, the Seahawks defense showed a great tough stance, toughly defending the first and second gears, and forcing the 49ers to use two timeouts, and in the third touchdown, the 49ers had to face a four-yard advance, and the dawn of hope was already beckoning.
But then, it was Marcus Lynch again.
Lu Ke chose to hand over the rugby to Marcus, who made a hard sprint, then braked urgently, made a 90-degree right-angle turn, broke through from the side, and faced the pounced outside linebacker, Marcus crossed over the opponent's head with a hurdle-like action, like a panda, and rolled after landing in the end zone.
Another touchdown.
At the end of the first half, the San Francisco 49ers once again gave the Seattle Seahawks playing at home a head-on blow, a long pass and a run, and completed the touchdown neatly, and then took advantage of the timeout to successfully kick the extra points, and the score came to "13:28", further widening the gap between the two sides.
Subsequently, the first half of the game ended.
What is certain is that today's game is far from the first week of the regular season, the Seahawks are no longer the original Seahawks, but the 49ers are no longer the 49ers.
During the intermission, the Century Chain Stadium became a sea of cheering, the twelve people were still not discouraged, and they did not give up, the mighty shouts changed the slogan, one after another, continued to cheer for the home team, the fifteen-point gap, in the second half of the game is still a situation that can be reversed, far from the end of the world.
When it comes to the madness and enthusiasm of the fans, the 12 are indeed among the best in the league.
However, the course of the game in the third quarter was destined to disappoint the home fans.
When the whistle blew in the second half, it was the Seattle Seahawks who took the lead, and in the midst of the shouts at home, Travis Jackson's first pass was intercepted!
"Justin Smith! Justin Smith completes the plagiarism! The San Francisco 49ers' No. 94 defensive end continued his fantastic performance this season, successfully intercepting the opponent's quarterback's pass, picking up the football with one hand, Travis Jackson's passing route was completely recognized, and Justin Smith stood on the pass line and successfully intercepted! ”
After entering the Cincinnati Tigers in 2001 as a first-round pick, Justin Smith's career has been tepid, and his performance has fallen far short of expectations.
In 2008, he moved to the San Francisco 49ers, but the defensive end took on a new lease of life, becoming the 49ers' MVP of the season in the same year, and then making the Pro Bowl in 2009 and 2010, becoming one of the league's top defensive ends.
This season, the 94th has performed brilliantly, and can be called the absolute leader of the 49ers' defensive line. Today, Justin made his first steal of the season and the third of his career - because he wasn't a good interceptor in the first place, but was still good at running defense and raiding quarterback.
"Wait, it's not over yet! Justin Smith is on a comeback! Oh, God! The Seattle Seahawks' offensive team was in complete chaos, Smith found a gap, and after the 49ers' 55-55 perimeter guard Ahmed Brooks crashed into a must-win grab, Smith managed to break through! ”
"Smith! Smith! Under the cover of his teammates, Smith fought his way out! ”
"God! Oh, God! What the hell is going on! What the hell is going on on the pitch! Unbelievable! It's absolutely unbelievable! The San Francisco 49ers defense scored their first interception touchdown of the season! Touchdown, 49ers scored another touchdown! But this time, not from the offensive group, but from the defensive group! Wow! ”
In an instant, the entire Century Chain Stadium was a little dazed, and his eyes were full of confusion. Even though the 49ers offensive team scored four touchdowns in the first half, even if the Seahawks were always in a state of falling behind to catch up, even if the fierce game was always down, they never suffered a blow and were still full of confidence until now.
What the hell was going on just now?
On the side of the court, Lu Ke and all the teammates of the offensive group and the special service team raised their hands high, celebrating their teammates wantonly, even more cheerful and joyful than the touchdown of the offensive group, and the crazy celebration sound also set off the dead silence and depression of the Century Chain Court at this moment.
But then the twelve woke up again, and the boos and curses were overwhelming, and the 69,000-seat Century Chain Stadium was like an angry beast, easily swallowing the cheers of the visiting team into its stomach, and the sky was full of boos.
However, after all, the twelve are only twelve on the sidelines, not the twelve on the field, and they cannot give more direct help to the home team after all.
After the defensive group returns the touchdown, the game flow is the same as the offensive touchdown.
The scorer's special team comes on to complete the extra points, and then the scorer's kick-off is followed by the scorer's team, and the scorer's team receives the ball and returns the attack.
In other words, after David Akons came on the court and scored a bonus point, the score was rewritten to "13:35"; Then the kick-off was completed, and the Seahawks' offensive team and 49ers' defensive team joined hands again to face off.
There's no doubt that the Seattle Seahawks are now on the precipice, precarious, and everything seems to be different from the first week of the regular season, but it all seems familiar. Now, the Seahawks need a touchdown, free kicks are no longer enough, they need a quick touchdown, race against time, and fight with their opponents, and only by closing the score gap as soon as possible can the suspense of the game be maintained.
But the reality is always like this, the more anxious you are, the more panicked, and the more irritable you are, the more mistakes you make.
After just two first strikes, the Seahawks offensive team hastily ushered in the first strikeout of the game, not to mention a touchdown, and now there are no free kicks.
Immediately afterwards, the San Francisco 49ers offensive group appeared again, but obviously, Lu Ke still had no intention of stopping, he was still full of firepower, and in the face of a big lead, the passing became more bold and resolute, more risky and crazy.
In a screen short pass attack, when Vernon and Logan had already formed a positional advantage, Lu Ke found a gap, found a deeper line Jean in the form of bullet passes, gave up short passes and chose long passes, and the 22-yard pass was too fast, almost intercepted by Earl Thomas.
But Lu Ke's passing speed was too fast, Thomas was not able to step on the rhythm, just touched, but still missed, but Jean, who was ready, rushed over at the last moment, completed the catch in mid-air, and completed the advance without danger.
It can be seen that not only Lu Ke, but also the wide receiver and the near end are now in good shape. And the running back that can't be forgotten.
One minute and 48 seconds after this risky pass, Marcus Lynch scored his third touchdown of the game!
