422 Yellow Flag Stirred Up the Situation
"Focus, I need you all to focus!"
Because the pass was not completed just now, the moment the rugby touched the ground, the game time was suspended - at a critical moment, in the absence of a time-out opportunity, the quarterback chose to drop the ball and stop the table, and took the initiative to throw the rugby ball to the ground to achieve the purpose of pausing the game, which is the principle.
If the pass is not completed or the ball is stopped, the game time is paused, but the time that must start the next attack is still the same, and the 25-second countdown is still the same. After 25 seconds, not only will the game restart, but if the offensive team does not kick off, they will be judged to delay the attack and lose yards.
Therefore, now Lu Ke has twenty-five seconds to have a simple communication with his teammates in the offensive group.
"They can't do it, they give up thinking, they can't keep up with us, they can't make adjustments on the fly. Have you noticed? Man to man, all their defensive tactics are man to man, we continue to pick up the pace, their defensive tactics are only going to get more and more monotonous, the zone coverage doesn't work at all, they're scared, scared of our passing routes! Now you can only stare at people! ”
Although the pass was incomplete just now, Lu Ke's brain began to clear again, and he saw through the opponent's defensive tactics, which were simple and rude and lacked changes. But the San Francisco 49ers' offensive advantage is this: variety!
"So, I need you to cheer up! Tactics, tactics to the end, use cross-transposition, completely disrupt their tactics, and then, take back the victory that belongs to us! We have only one goal: victory! ”
Heavyly, Lu Ke smashed his right fist into the palm of his left hand, and declared his determination in no uncertain terms, and then quickly began to arrange tactics, even if there were no words, but the entire attack group quietly burst out with a breath of slaughter, under the leadership of Lu Ke, they believed that they were invincible and invincible!
The players on both sides completed the formation again, and the San Francisco 49ers put on a "two-by-two" basic offensive formation, as expected, the New York Giants did not change the defensive formation, they are still man-to-man defense, but according to the San Francisco 49ers' offensive formation, the players moved their positions slightly, but the entire defensive alignment is still consistent.
With just a face-to-face, the 49-person offensive team has already built up confidence: the Lu Ke they are familiar with is back again!
The San Francisco 49ers, with Crabtree and Jean on the left and Logan and Williams on the right, Marcus and Lu Ke were still in the pistol formation, and Marcus stood side by side four yards behind the center.
The New York giants, with Michael Boley and Prince Amkamara on the left, a lineback and a cornerback, correspondingly to the right of the 49ers; On the right are Mathias-Kianuka and Will Blackmon, also a lineback and cornerback, corresponding to the left side of the 49ers.
"Attack!"
With Lu Ke's kick-off slogan, the receiving group of 49 people in San Francisco was instantly activated, like a kaleidoscope, all open.
Standing on the outside of the two wings, Crabtree and Williams both advanced in a straight line, unreasonably speeding up and running wildly, and used the wind to make the most of their strengths.
Logan and Jean, who were standing on the inside of the wings, both rushed forward and cut in, sprinting forward for about ten yards or so, and at the same time cutting inside towards the middle area, and the two men formed a cross run, one light and one heavy, and the different running routes converged in the center.
Plus, there's Marcus Lynch.
Obviously a running back, but often used as a wide receiver, Marcus followed the gap between the groove outside the receiver, a light run crossed the offensive and defensive lines, but he did not continue to pick up the speed, but stayed in the middle of the short pass area, and with a slight adjustment of his footwork, he completed the preparation for the catch.
In the blink of an eye, the short and middle pass areas in the center are crowded!
The New York Giants defense reacted immediately, and in addition to the man-to-man defenders, the backcourt security guards who were waiting for the opportunity and the interior linebackers who were watching the ball in the front court all flocked to the middle, and this area was somewhat overcrowded.
At this moment, Lu Ke in his pocket took two consecutive big strides back, widening the distance between himself and the offensive and defensive fronts, his body kept his balance, pulled up his right arm high, and teleported the rugby ball with cannonball-like power, sliding across the sky mightily, outlining a dazzling rainbow.
There is no doubt that the focus of the whole game is the middle area, not only because there are three receiving points here, but also Lu Ke's personal favorite three receiving points, Logan Newman, Ted Jean and Marcus Lynch, three players with very different styles and abilities, similar running routes but different development possibilities. This is Lu Ke's best choice.
But just when everyone was thinking so, Lu Ke's rainbow pass was surging towards the left by leaps and bounds!
Left? Lu Ke actually chose the left side!
On the left side of the San Francisco 49ers and on the right side of the New York Giants, there were only two players, Michael Crabtree and Will Blackmon, and all the other defensive and offensive players were bloated in the middle area, and the left side of the line suddenly became empty, so it became a one-on-one situation.
"Crabtree vs Blackmon".
This is a cross position, Jean, who was originally opposite Blackmon, changed his position and route, so it became Crabtree standing in front of Blackmon, both players are tall and strong types, and both players are talented black men, in a head-to-head confrontation, not giving an inch.
The rainbow pass in the sky pulled a thrilling arc, unstoppably breaking through your own 35 yards, 40 yards, half court, opponent's 40 yards, 35 yards, 30 yards...... Fearlessly striking at the deep area, it looked like a pass of about forty to forty-three yards, and the shuttle ball that rotated at a uniform speed once again showed Lu Ke's precision and control.
Crabtree and Blackmont stuck each other's positions, refused to back down, and saw that the rugby began to fall rapidly, Crabtree hit Blackmont hard with his shoulder, and after being more than half a position, he threw his body out heavily, and made a standard catch-and-hold gesture -
Poof.
Like a papaya falling into a spring, crisp and accurate, Crabtree completed the catch steadily, his staggering steps had not completely lost his center of gravity, but he could still feel Blackmond who was following the trend and refusing to surrender, and his whole body was squeezing his own advancing space.
Adjusting, controlling, resisting, and pushing, Crabtree did not fall behind in the confrontation, gradually realigning his center of gravity, and continued to push forward.
At this moment, there are no more defenders in front of the left aisle, and he only needs to accelerate with all his strength to sprint past and enter the end zone, complete a touchdown, and turn the game around. But...... However, the referee blew the whistle and threw the yellow flag, interrupting the game.
Blackmon and Crabtree were still wrestling, but both slowed down one after the other, realizing that something had changed in the game.
"Why? Why? In the chagrin and sighs of all the fans at Candlestick Stadium, Crabtree spread his hands and walked to the referee with an innocent face, trying to find a result, "What's going on?" Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on? "He could have been a hero to save the game, but now the referee has interrupted the game for only one reason:
Foul on the offensive group.
Sure enough, the referee announced the penalty, the fifteenth, pulling people to foul.
Crabtree stood in place, distracted and angry, and began to curse, unable to believe his ears, "Foul? When did I foul myself? It's all a bunch of ......" followed by a series of foul language, and it can't be stopped at all.
In the face of Crabtree's complaints, Blackmon began to scold each other, the two did not have a physical altercation, and the referee directly intervened, but the two people kept shouting at each other to express their dissatisfaction. Because they all know very well that this time the yellow flag penalty has a profound impact on the trend of the game.
The other players of the two teams standing on the field were in stark contrast.
All the players of the New York Giants raised their hands in the air and raised their arms in cheers, it was definitely an important defense at a critical moment; The San Francisco 49ers players all began to hold their foreheads, letting out a cry of regret in annoyance, unable to believe their eyes.
Jim Hubble slammed the tactical manual in his hand to the ground even more, swearing, emotional, and a little out of shape.
Crabtree's emotions were still agitated, and he repeatedly affirmed that he had not committed a foul just now, and tried to show his innocence.
But the commentators sitting in the studio had different opinions, "Foul, this is definitely a pulling foul, the action is too obvious, it is impossible to escape the eyes of the referee, this is a correct decision." ”
According to the slow motion, before completing the catch, in order to shake off the defense, Crabtree did pull the collar of Blackmon's jersey, and even suspected of pulling the helmet. It was an unequivocal foul and indisputable.
"But that's not good news for the San Francisco 49ers, who are losing a lot of time and yards, and they're getting more and more difficult."
The referees penalized the San Francisco 49ers for 10 yards due to a foul on Crabtree, and they had to push to their own 20-yard line to re-attack in 2nd gear and face a 20-yard deficit.
The situation is not good, and now it is even worse!
"Calm down, all me down." Under the emergency situation, Lu Ke had to raise his voice and stop Crab Tree, "Look forward, we must look forward." What's the problem, I'll settle the accounts after the game, and now I'm calming down, have you noticed? They're still man-to-man defensive, they're getting more and more passive! All we need to do is calm down and take our chances! ”
