351 Helmet catches

At this point, Ted Jean's mind went blank and his speed was boosted to the extreme, which was his absolute strength and the reason why the Miami Dolphins selected him with the ninth pick in the first round in 2007. Now it's time for him to make the most of his speed advantage.

In the back of the eye, you can still see the haunting Twenty-Six security guard Louise-Delmas.

In his rookie season in 2009, he became the first safety guard in league history to complete both a steal and a return touchdown at the same time. The ability to capture the fighter and the physical gifts that make Delmas a formidable player to be reckoned with in the Detroit Lions' weak defensive team.

Gene was engrossed, his eyes quickly glanced at the football flying overhead, and then at Delmas, who was also following the pace, and instantly sniffed a gap in his mind-

This pass was a little farther than expected, originally thought it was only a pass of about eighteen yards, but now it seems that Lu Ke's passing arc has risen slightly, and according to the position of the parabola, it should be a pass of about twenty-five yards in the end, which means that Lu Ke has taken into account the three-dimensional effect of speed and running.

Lu Ke believed that Jean could complete the catch with his speed advantage.

Speed up, speed up again, Jean only felt that the muscles all over his body began to click and burst, and the sound of the whirring wind came from his ears, as if the whole world began to blur, and only the rugby ball was left in his eyes, closer, closer.

Jean gritted his teeth fiercely, and the strong belief in completing the catch exploded to the extreme: Lu Ke believed that he could complete the pass!

But in the field of vision, I watched the rugby start to fall rapidly, and the distance was still a little farther away, just one step away, just one step away from receiving the ball. This is all because of the little delay at the start, that is, the moment when it is less than a blink of an eye, which leads to a step away!

At the critical moment, Jean stepped on the ground with both feet, suddenly exerted force, and the whole person flew into the air, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, flying freely, trying to stretch his hands, stretching his body with all his might, staring intently at the rugby, and then the next second, his hands were just before the rugby hit the ground, and he held it dangerously, as if the classic bridge of "Mission Impossible", before the sweat fell down and triggered the siren, Tom Cruise reached out to catch the sweat.

Immediately after, Jean hugged Mother Earth heavily, the powerful impact caused the muscles all over his body to tremble, he could feel that the rugby ball in his palm was losing control, he didn't have time to think about it, he closed his hands, firmly covered the rugby ball on the helmet, slapped it on the cheek, pressed it hard, pressed it again, and used the helmet to complete the control of the rugby.

Less than a step behind, Delmas also pounced, bumped into Jean hard, and reached for the rugby ball with both hands, trying to disrupt the catch in the final moments, and the two men rolled out heavily, followed by the other players next to him also rushed up, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

"The Detroit Lions' defensive group, beautiful rushing passes, and the sudden increase in intensity caught the San Francisco 49ers off guard! At the critical moment, Lu Ke calmly completed a rainbow pass! Wonderful, the control in the pocket, really wonderful! There is no jerkiness and panic of a rookie player!

Jean, Ted Jean was at the limit of his body and managed to catch the ball and he followed! Jean actually caught the pass! God, incredible, this is absolutely incredible! Wow!

It was a helmet catch, haha, it was definitely a textbook helmet catch, Jean took advantage of the tight space between his hands and his helmet, firmly controlled the rugby, and pounced on his cheek, I can't be sure if Jean could see the scenery in front of him, but what is certain is that this catch is really beautiful! ”

Even if you watch the replay again, it's still amazing.

In a strong clash without warning, the San Francisco 49ers narrowly completed the pass, and Ted Jean was undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this attack; Of all the wide receivers on the entire team, no one but Jean was able to pull off this catch – because there wasn't enough speed.

Even Lu Ke himself was frightened, in order to avoid Delmas, the security guard with extremely strong interception ability and return attack ability, Lu Ke's passing choice was a little bolder, but the confrontation factors were still not considered enough, and the distance control was slightly less fine, seeing that Jean was still a big step away, Lu Ke couldn't help but grin, and the first reaction in his mind was "the pass was not completed", he was still too risky

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke saw Jean's action like "smashing flour on his cheeks", and buried his whole face in the rugby ball at once, as if he was looking for treasure, the embarrassing action was slightly funny, and he could even feel the powerful vibration and impact on his face, which made people grin.

But then, Lu Ke clenched his fists heavily and applauded Jean's wonderful catch.

Not to mention Teddy and Kirk in the studio, they were amazed and couldn't believe that they watched the catch just now, showing the limits of human bodies and skills, and at the same time showing the wonder and excitement of rugby. Watching such a top-tier wide receiver in action is an absolute visual treat.

In 2007, breaking the 40-yard sprint record at the time in rookie camp while also having a catch-and-catch feel comparable to that of a white man, Ted Jean joined the Miami Dolphins as a first-round pick amid high expectations.

But in his rookie season, Jean played more games as a return attacker in the special service group and performed well; The next two seasons were underwhelming, and although in 2009 Jean became the first player since 1967 to score two return touchdowns in the same quarter, it still didn't allow Jean to find a spot on the team, and in 2010, the San Francisco 49ers acquired Jean in a trade for a five-round pick.

Who would have thought that Ted Jean, who was still mainly a throwaway and kick-off returner last year, was reborn in the hands of Lu Ke this year, bringing the speed advantage to the extreme, and becoming one of the team's most important offensive firepower points.

"For the first time in today's game, Lu Ke chose to trust his long passing ability in a crisis situation, a 25-yard pass, Ted Jean completed a wonderful weekly ball catch, not only completed the first attack again, but the San Francisco 49ers have come to the front of the end area, a touchdown!"

One touchdown, to be exact, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive group was a full nine yards from the end zone.

So, in the first attack, Lu Ke chose to hand over the football to Marcus Lynch, but the Detroit Lions' defensive front line was prepared early and cast an iron wall, Lynch had no chance, almost with a wall-hitting defense, was intercepted on the tee line.

After entering the red zone, the entire offensive and defensive confrontation became tough, and for Lynch, who had a brilliant performance in the last game, the Detroit Lions clearly made a targeted defensive arrangement. Lynch is still in good shape, but Lu Ke must make more adjustments in terms of tactical selection and offensive forward arrangement, and Lynch must also be more cautious and careful.

As a result, the second touchdown and the tee line still did not change.

Lu Ke set up a multi-line offensive formation, with four receiving points on the right side, Ted Jean, Kyle Williams, Logan Newman, and Marcus Lynch waiting for the opportunity, and only one attacking point on the left side, Michael Crabtree.

As a result, the formation of the entire stadium was seriously tilted, and all the players were concentrated on the same side, and there were almost no gaps in the denseness; What's even more incredible is that Crabtree, who was on the left, after kicking off, made a short sprint, cut inside on the right, and pulled the cornerback who defended himself one-on-one to join the chaos on the right.

In an instant, all the players gathered on the right side, the surging crowd was like dumplings, all the one-on-one defenses, all the zone defenses were no longer counted, and people were rubbing shoulders with each other, densely panting, and could only rely on their intuition to capture the transient changes on the field.

It's a mess.

Lu Ke stood in the shotgun formation, his brain was extremely calm, his eyes were like eagle eyes, scanning the dense crowd of Normandy landings in front of him, capturing the passing machine, in the dense defense, in the narrow space, all the gaps and all the opportunities appeared and disappeared in an instant, without waiting for Lu Ke to complete the passing preparation.

Just between breaths, a second, two seconds, the right side of the offensive front line began to leak, and Lu Ke's vision could already capture a sky-blue figure flying towards him.

His eyes quickly followed the white jersey and moved, and his footsteps quickly retreated at the same time, quickly widening the distance between himself and the defender, but the opponent's speed far exceeded Lu Ke's, and he almost didn't have time to breathe, he was already close at hand, Lu Ke didn't hesitate too much, and gently waved his forearm and ran the rugby out of a light arc.

Immediately afterwards, the defenders had already pounced on Lu Ke's side; But seeing that Lu Ke had completed the pass, the defender could only hug Lu Ke tightly in order to control his rushing action, and the two of them hugged passionately as if they were close friends, and then both looked at the rugby and moved with the passing trajectory.

……

At the same time, in the dense crowd, everyone was rapidly piling up to the right, and the entire area seemed to be far beyond the standard, and there was no gap in the dense crowd. No chance!
