498 Perfect Revenge
After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, Lu Ke's entire style began to become restrained and steady, focusing on short passes and running balls.
If people think that Lu Ke is becoming conservative and that the cookie-cutter tactical arrangement may give the Cardinals a glimpse of opportunities and take more advantage, then people are doomed to disappointment.
At critical moments, Lu Ke is always able to improve his state in time and surprise the mid-pass - not a long pass, but a mid-pass that completely combines tactical level and physical confrontation, which can often create miraculous effects; In two consecutive three-gear transitions, the sneak attack on the middle pass created a miracle effect, and the two cornerbacks Peterson and Marshall were completely exhausted and confused, and could not form an effective defense at all.
The Cardinals' defensive team immediately became honest.
After all, they still didn't dare to completely let go of their hands and feet, completely gave up the backcourt, let Lu Ke attack at will, and concentrated on making a fuss in the frontcourt; The tactics are back to the formation that takes into account the whole court, and the coverage of the midfield and the backcourt is not to be taken lightly, but such tactics have not been able to succeed in the first three quarters of the game, and it is still difficult to break through after entering the fourth quarter.
After weakening the edge, Lu Ke gradually showed his control of the game, and after losing the sharp sense of momentum and fluidity, the steady attack became more effective and more solid, reducing mistakes, increasing the success rate, and firmly controlling the initiative in the palm of his hand.
Twice he was able to take a free kick but didn't score a touchdown, but it took a lot of game time before Arkens struck the fatal blow and scored six points again, keeping the advantage firmly in place.
In addition, the special service team's return attack can also bring threats repeatedly, including a return attack by Marcus, which directly pushed through the half court and almost made a kick-off return touchdown, which shocked the Cardinals up and down in a cold sweat.
Under the absolute dominance, the San Francisco 49ers showed strong confidence and positive attitude in all aspects, and controlled the whole court with ease, and after head coach Jim Hubble showed his edge, he also showed mature game wisdom - not chasing after the big score to win, but reaping the victory in the most effective and simple way.
The Cardinals, who were standing on the other side of the pitch, gradually began to fall apart, and the defensive team was never able to fully toughen up, and their performance was tepid, and after missing three consecutive defenses, they actually conceded two more free kicks, and there was still no end in sight on the road to the abyss.
Fitzgerald was struggling to support himself, and after the lack of support from his teammates, his physical strength and spirit gradually began to decline, which also made the entire offensive efficiency show a cliff-like drop, and it seemed that every time he pushed past or near half court, their advance began to become thrilling.
There was only one time in the fourth quarter when he came close to the free-kick area, but the 49ers' defense immediately stepped up the intensity, and at eight yards in second gear, John Skelton made his third interception of the game, which was completed by Carlos-Rogers, the 49ers' 22-horn guard.
It took a lot of effort and the Cardinals couldn't get a point in the second half. The dilemma of not being able to score after the end of the first quarter continued until the end of the game.
In the end, the referee on duty blew the whistle at the end of the game, and the final score was "10:41", and the San Francisco 49ers who were away took away a hearty victory! Perfect revenge!
Just three weeks ago, the Cardinals defeated the 49ers, who have been in excellent form this season, with a final score of "10:13", a free kick advantage, which gave the opponent a bitter taste of the second defeat of the season, and indirectly led to the latter's first consecutive defeat of the season.
But now, the Cardinals lost to the same opponent at home, and the score was fixed at "10:41", which was fully opened by the opponent by 31 points, not only ruining their five consecutive wins, the winning streak came to an abrupt end, but also completely exposed the weakness of their weak offense.
Compared with these two games, the Cardinals' offense has always been difficult, scoring 13 points in one game and 10 points in the other, which is basically the same, and has never been able to effectively open the situation; But the Cardinals' defense was a world of difference between the two games.
It's not so much that the Cardinals are out of the game, but that the key to victory or defeat has always been in the hands of the 49ers.
In the first home match, the 49ers offensive team was always in poor shape, especially the mistakes at the last moment, which buried the possibility of a reversal and unfortunately lost the game; The 49ers, who regained their firepower and rhythm in the second away attack, basically did not give the opponent any chance, and rushed to victory in one go.
As insiders in the league said, in the San Francisco 49ers, the offensive group is the key to their victory, and the defense group and special service group are indispensable supports. The offensive team created by Hubble and Lu Ke is showing a strong attack that is not inferior to the Green Bay Packers, which is a major problem for every team.
Now, two home and away games against the Arizona Cardinals, with one win and one loss, prove that view once again.
It's a perfect revenge, and it's a sweet revenge at the same time.
Not long ago, the Cardinals interrupted the 49ers' five-game winning streak on the road; And now the situation is reversed, and the 49ers have given the Cardinals, who have won five in a row, a slap in the face on the road, firmly taking the playoff initiative into their own hands.
In the other way, this victory of the San Francisco 49ers is really too hearty!
For the San Francisco 49ers, it was a sweet revenge; And for the Arizona Cardinals, it was a bitter loss.
Because the playoff situation is starting to show a watershed trend; Because of the incompatibility of the sworn enemies in the same district, they witnessed the opponent's big victory on their home turf; All the more because the Twitter battle has given the battle more personal attributes, the emotions of victory and defeat have been magnified exponentially.
It's true for every fan.
A third of the way through the fourth quarter, the University of Phoenix Stadium began to see the crowd exiting the stadium one after another, and the home fans could no longer bear the insult, they seemed to have predicted the end of the defeat, and they couldn't bear to look directly at the stadium and left the stadium early; This mood and attitude is contagious, and when the first person starts to leave, the whole momentum is no longer controllable.
By the end of the game, there were less than 20,000 people left in the vast dark red wave, almost two-thirds of the fans had gone, and the huge stadium was beginning to look empty.
The 3,500 away fans were cheering and celebrating, waving flags, singing songs, venting their emotions, expressing their inner joy and madness in various ways, and the mighty momentum spread throughout the stadium, further suppressing the decline of 20,000 fans.
The remaining home fans didn't even have the energy to resist, they just grabbed their tails in embarrassment and quickly left the stadium, which also made the stadium a stage for the white waves.
Despite this, clashes broke out off the pitch.
The Cardinals fans who left the stadium were still unable to control their emotions, and a small group of radical fans met the 49ers who were celebrating loudly, and the verbal altercation quickly turned into a physical altercation that quickly spread.
Fortunately, the home security personnel and police/inspection department had long anticipated this situation and arrived en masse at the first time to control the situation; The other Cardinals fans did not follow suit, avoiding the situation from escalating further, and the scene was effectively calmed down before it got out of control.
In the end, three players suffered minor injuries and did not need to go to the hospital; It is an absolute luck that this explosive match, especially after experiencing racist and malicious attacks during the game, can now end smoothly and steadily, and did not really evolve into a large-scale brawl scene.
But it's clear that the aftermath of this game is far from over.
After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Lu Ke immediately trotted to the midfield position and shook hands with John Skelton.
However, Skelton had no intention of greeting each other, and Lu Ke had no plan to show off his might, the two of them just shook hands politely, without any communication, without even eye contact, after a short contact, the two of them turned around and left.
Turning around, just as he was about to leave, Lu Ke noticed Patrick Peterson not far away.
Peterson took off his helmet at this point, looking at the sparse pitch with a confused and dazed expression, as if he had lost his way, and his dejected posture was in stark contrast to his previous posture; Then, he turned his head and looked at Lu Ke, the shoulder lines that were loose and drooping just now suddenly straightened up again, and his eyes were high-spirited.
As a sworn enemy in the same district, as a quarterback and corner back, as a rookie player in the same class, Lu Ke knows that the duel between them has just begun, and the two games every year are bound to become the stage for them to compete, for the fans and the audience, and for themselves.
Lu Ke straightened his waist, raised his chin, and responded with the attitude of a victor, and then ignored Peterson's anger and provocation, Shi Shiran turned around and left the court, and hung Peterson directly on the court-
This matchup has been decided, from the score to the performance, everything has been clearly presented in front of him, Lu Ke has no need to continue to entangle with Peterson, the general of the defeated army is not worth mentioning!
