1699 Familiar with the road

"10:19", this is the score of the first half of the 2013 National League finals, after the adjustment time of halftime, the San Francisco 49ers took the lead in the second half.

The belligerents are on the scene again, the atmosphere of the Seattle Seahawks is obviously more focused and tense, and the San Francisco 49ers have not relaxed at all, truly showing the atmosphere of non-stop between sworn enemies in the same district, not to mention, this is still the National League final competing for Super Bowl tickets, so it is even more not to be taken lightly!

Lu Ke stood in the pocket protection, carefully observing the position of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team, he knew that Pete Carroll must make adjustments at halftime, and if he continued to follow the tactics of the first half in the second half, it may still work, but the efficiency will inevitably decline, and he also needs to make adjustments.

Judging from the overall defensive position, the Seattle Seahawks returned to "normal", which is the pattern of the fourteenth week of the regular season:

Four defenders are in the middle, three linebacks are also in the middle, only three to five yards behind, two cornerbacks are positioned on the outside of the wings and parallel positions are basically in the gap between the defensive front line and linebacks, and finally two safety guards are both back to pull out a distance of 10 yards away and maintain mobility.

It's a textbook base for the 4-3 defense, like a template for telling a layman audience about the names and functions of each position in the defensive team, but it's also the Seattle Seahawks' basic formation for sweeping the league this season, fully combining individual ability with the overall formation.

The immediate difference from the first half was that Kem Chancellor was at the back.

Previously, Chancellor's position was completely pressed, and in defense, his figure was all over every corner of the field, contributing a lot to short pass defense and ground defense; The most important thing is that Chancellor is always keeping an eye on Lu Ke and other every move, connecting the defense like a whole hub.

Now, with Chancellor dropping back, the main defensive coverage has evolved into a mid-range and long-pass, and of course, there is no problem with the short-pass area.

On the one hand, it was because in the first half, Lu Ke formulated tactics around Chancellor, which consumed a lot of Chancellor's physical strength; On the other hand, because Lu Ke continuously disrupted the rhythm through the blow of fast short passes, and attacked the middle pass three times before and after, and all of them succeeded, which made the passing defense of the blasting army have obvious problems, which is absolutely not allowed. To put it simply, the Seattle Seahawks were not satisfied with their defensive strategy in the first half.

After Chancellor's retreat, the Blasters' pass defense reverted to its usual line: Sherman, Maxwell, and Thomas formed an encirclement at three points on the sides and at the bottom end, respectively, and then Chancellor played guerrilla in the middle urn to increase the intensity of the entire pass defense.

At the same time, the entire defensive pivot has also shifted from Chancellor to interior guard Wagner — which can also be called a center lineback, as the Seattle Seahawks adopt a three-line lineback formation.

Of course, Wagner is also an excellent defensive player, proficient in pressing, tackling, supplementing defense, etc., but his interception ability is slightly weaker; It's just that compared to Chancellor, Wagner's coverage is not as wide as that, and it revolves more around my midfield in the short passing area.

In other words, the Seattle Seahawks are back to the familiar routine of the regular season, with seven players in the front court and four players in the backcourt forming two relatively separate systems, while subtly echoing each other, and despite the lack of dazzling variations, they are able to play to their strengths, complete defensive tasks, and make the most of the individual abilities of the Seattle Seahawks players.

This season, the Seattle Seahawks have relied on this set of defensive tactics to stand out in the league - to respond to changes without change, and it doesn't matter if the opponent is spotted at the tactical level, and in the end they can always restrain the opponent with absolute strength.

In the face of the San Francisco 49ers, Carroll also knew that Lu Ke and Hubble were difficult to deal with, and in the fourteenth week of the regular season, he used such tactics, although he insisted on the end and also contained Lu Ke - at least he didn't lose the big score again, but in the final analysis, he still couldn't beat Lu Ke, the method was really wrong, so he still tried to make some changes in the first half, and the changes also achieved good results, but unfortunately, because of a mistake, the team fell into trouble, coupled with Lu Ke's layout and Chancellor's physical strength, etc., In the second half, we had to go back to the formation we were best at.

Of course, returning to the familiar routine, this does not mean that the Seattle Seahawks are in a weak position, in fact, after returning to their familiar routines, the Blaster Army can still burst out with more energy, just like the fourteen weeks of the regular season, and now Lu Ke's passing must be calculated more.

After the opening, Lu Ke encountered a small challenge.

In 10-yard gear, the football was handed to Frank Goyle, who opted for a ground attack, but the Seattle Seahawks stepped up very quickly, allowing Goyle only two yards to push and then finished the offense.

In the second gear and eight yards, Lu Ke shook the judgment of the defensive team with a fake run and real pass, and found a passing gap, but tried to connect Crabbucketrie's pass, but because Maxwell stuck Crabtree's position, Lu Ke had to raise the parabola higher, and the result would be over Crabtree's fingertips.

After the pass was not completed, it came to three and eight yards.

That's what the Seattle Seahawks defense is capable of, and when they return to familiar defensive patterns, it's clear that they're more at home:

The defensive front line is dominated by pressure, and more energy is focused on ground defense; The defensive second line focuses all its attention on the line of passing offense; In addition, if it is a short pass, the pass is allowed to be successful, and then the other defenders will make up for it in time. Because of the clarity and clarity of the defensive task, the concentration has increased, the intensity and intensity have also increased, coupled with the already extremely tough individual ability, the best defensive group in history has once again shown its might.

Relatively speaking, if Lu Ke wants to find a loophole, the difficulty coefficient will rise.

After halftime, the top seed of the National League showed his strength - purely from the perspective of strength, the Seattle Seahawks did have a slight advantage, otherwise the pre-match predictions would not have favored the Seattle Seahawks to win.

Three long yards, Lu Ke calmed himself down.

Because it was three long yards, the Seattle Seahawks began to move like vultures that smelled the rotting smell of a corpse, but their changes were based on the original framework:

There is no obvious change in the other positions, except that the three linebacks have all advanced their positions, the two outside linebacks simply stand in the same column as the defensive forwards, and the inside linebacks Wagner has also made great strides forward, standing one step behind the defensive forwards, which is also the most familiar change for them -

In third gear or at key moments, they only need to rotate linebackers, and they can change tactics in an instant, and suddenly attack the ground to tackle the quarterback.

The linebacks on the pitch at this time are Erwin, Wright and Wagner, who are actually more adept at pressing from the front line and rushing passes, and if Malcolm Smith and Heath-Farewell are rotated, then the short-pass defensive ability will be relatively more prominent.

Now that the Seattle Seahawks defensive team is clearly in a posture of stepping up to raid, how should Lu Ke deal with it?

"Attack!"

Putting on a multi-line offensive formation, Lu Ke began to retreat with his head held high, the whole retreat speed was very fast, and the distance was completely opened in three big strides in a row, but he didn't expect that the Seattle Seahawks were smoke bombs at all, and the linemen stepped up and put on a surprise posture, but they actually stayed in place, completely covering the short pass area, and only used four people to rush to pass, and successfully placed Lu Ke together.

But this is not a surprise.

After Lu Ke quickly stepped back to widen the distance, his footsteps stopped, his eyes swept quickly, and he used his eyes to restrain the judgment of the defender, but in a gap of time for inhalation, the passing target had already torn out the position, and then he didn't hesitate, and teleported the rugby ball when he landed with a knife in his hand.

With three players hoarded on the entire right wing, Ted Jean, Logan Newman and the rotating Ansaron Bolting, plus Garrett Salek on the other side alone, the San Francisco 49ers' receiving lineup also changed and made adjustments quietly, while Lu Ke's passing eyes were clearly looking to the right.

Accompanied by the tee call, it was Logan, who stood in the middle of the trident, who cut a little inward and began to sprint towards the deep area with all his might along the outside of the groove track.

Jean and Boulding both started half a beat slower, Jean on the inside running towards the outside, Boulding on the outside pulling inside, the two men met five yards away, but did not cross positions, but stopped and began to turn around to receive the ball, which also forced the opposing defenders to gather together, and the four players were bustling together, but they couldn't tell who was in the opposite position.

Then Logan, who cruising alone on the edge of the central belt, stands out.

Richard Sherman followed, shaking off the tangled area of the four players and following Logan in unison, but Logan judged ahead of time and before Sherman could get into position, he ran out of a corner parabola, crossed the slot, and cut straight into the center.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Sherman and Logan's running rhythm was slightly staggered, and it was only a quarter of a beat to a half-beat or so of the pause space, which also allowed Logan to successfully win a space of about half a yard to about a yard to receive the ball, and it was this little space that Lu Ke's bullet pass had been delivered.

Hand up and knife down!

In the process of pulling horizontally, Logan turned his back to Sherman and faced Lu Ke, raised his hands to catch the rugby ball on the upper part of his chest, and without waiting for his footsteps to stand firmly, he subconsciously pushed a step back, directly hitting Sherman's grappling, and the strong collision broke out into a dull sound.
