"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the score on the board, "7:0", the home team in front and the away team in the back. The entire Lincoln Financial Stadium became a sea of cheers, with the home fans singing, shouting and dancing wildly, and the surging navy blue sea set off a stormy sea, which was spectacular.

"The first half was over, why did I have a feeling of 'it's finally over'." In the Fox TV studio, Teddy smiled, but with some bitterness, half-jokingly.

Kirk shrugged his shoulders as well, an expression of agreement, "I can't argue with that. All the fans and pundits expected it was going to be a thrilling game, but the first half was a dull one, with both teams not playing well and stumbling over the tempo and never being able to connect effectively. ”

"Yes, that's how I feel." Teddy nodded in agreement, "The only scoring in the first half came midway through the second quarter, and in fact, this touchdown was a surprise as well. ”

As Teddy commented, the TV screen began to replay the only touchdown of the first half again, "Michael Wick used the reading option to attack in a row, carried the ball himself three times in a row to complete the advancement, and all of a sudden, he handed the football to running back Leshawn McCoy, the Eagles' No. 25 player, grabbed a gap, ran 54 yards, and completed a touchdown, which gave the home team a '7-0' lead at the end of the first half." ”

"Actually, this touchdown is a microcosm of the whole first half." Kirk opened his mouth to add, "The Eagles relied on running the ball, completing the advance intermittently, and under Vic's disruptive tactics, McCoy had a personal flash of inspiration and managed to take the lead; The 49ers, on the other hand, relied on passing, which was also incoherent, and the details of the key moments were incorrect, resulting in a result that they were never able to score. ”

"Does that mean that both teams are doing well defensively? You can say that, you can't say that. After Teddy said this, he laughed and couldn't help but laugh, "The 49ers' passing defense is good, but the running defense is extremely bad; The Eagles reversed the game, with both teams' defensive teams failing to find their rhythm and being severely unbalanced. ”

"Teddy, with your explanation, the audience who didn't watch the first half of the game is probably confused." Kirk took the initiative to explain the matter.

"In the first half, Michael Vicker's passes, six of fourteen passes, didn't even reach fifty percent, only twenty-eight yards were passed; In addition, Vic's run ball was advanced by 33 yards, while McCoy ran 79 yards - of course, that 54-yard touchdown was too lethal, and his personal 25-yard run stats were also very good. ”

"Overall, the Philadelphia Eagles opened the game by running the ball today, advancing 153 yards throughout the first half, which is not a great statistic. The San Francisco 49ers' defensive team still did their job well, and their only mistake came on McCoy's individual flash. But, like Marshawn Lynch's beast mode, it's impossible to prevent. ”

Simply put, Kirk summed up the Philadelphia Hawks' offense with the San Francisco 49ers' defense.

Teddy nodded in agreement, and at the same time cut to the later topic in a guided way, asking questions as a spectator, "On the other hand, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive group actually had the upper hand in the first half, but why is the score behind now?" ”

"Let's look at the data in the first half, San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Lu Ke, 21 passes 13, advanced 98 yards, no interception; And on the run-side, Kendall Hunter, twelve yards, Marcus Lynch, twenty-three yards, and Anthony Dixon, eight. By the end of the first half, the 49ers had advanced a total of 141 yards. ”

"You can see that apart from McCoy's amazing run, the San Francisco 49ers have the lead in stats, and in the first half, they had the advantage in the number of first shots, the number of pushes across the half, and the control of the whole game. Especially when it comes to passing. ”

Accompanied by Kirk's words, Lu Ke's first-half passing highlights appeared on the screen, "We can compare the two sets of data, in the first half time, the fourteenth quarterback of the 49ers suffered a total of one tackle, five impacts, and five forced hasty passes, all of which are added up, there are eleven times; So, how many times did the fourteen try to pass the ball? Twenty-one times! ”

In other words, for more than half of the passing time, the number 14 passed under pressure; At the same time, the receiver of the 49ers also had two drop-offs, and it was in this situation that he actually made thirteen successful passes and advanced for ninety-eight yards. It's amazing!

It can be seen through the video playback that Lu Ke is in the pocket, his performance is very calm, there is no shadow of a rookie at all, patient observation, decisive shots, accurate judgment, even under pressure, he has never given up hope, with his outstanding performance, carrying the entire 49 people to continue to move forward. ”

Resuming the first half of the game, Kirk's words were extremely calm, but when it came to Lu Ke's performance, it was still difficult to hide his excitement, for the rookie quarterback, Kirk never hid his praise and affirmation, and today was no exception.

In other words, the overall momentum of the San Francisco 49ers has always prevailed, but the lack of key moments has caused them to fall behind in the score now, and they have not even scored a single point. It's not just the gap in the details, but also the youthfulness of the whole team. Kirk concluded, "It can be said that in the entire first half, Lu Ke's performance was undoubtedly the most stable. ”

"I agree." Teddy nodded in agreement, "The question now is, when will the 49ers' offensive team find their rhythm and turn their advantage into scoring?" ”

Not only the two commentators of Fox TV, but all the other commentators in the entire commentary table at this time are also expressing their opinions, analyzing the game in the first half from different angles and different levels. At halftime, it was their most active moment.

At the same time, on the other side of the continent, in Joe's Bar, there was silence, and the sound of beer glasses colliding with the table could be heard scattered and scattered, and the sound of these fragments only accentuated the silence.

Everyone looked up, looked at the TV screen, and was silent. At this moment, Fox TV is broadcasting the game live, and after the commercial is inserted, it cuts back to the studio, and then the director is broadcasting the highlights of the first half of the game - the highlights of Lu Ke's impact.

The eleven pressures before and after, all edited together, only make people feel that the whole pocket is noisy and dangerous, not to mention carefully observing and preparing to pass, there is not even a little time for peace, even if Lu Ke passes the ball faster, two seconds, two and a half seconds, but in the turbulent pocket, the pass is still seriously affected by uncontrollable.

Squeezed again and again, hit again and again, but, in the stormy seas, Lu Ke was always able to find a trace of space, firmly grasp that glimmer of hope, and pass the rugby ball at the last moment, 21 pass attempts, 11 times under pressure, and 13 successful passes.

Such data is really eye-catching, and the indomitable willpower is even more eye-catching.

In contrast, the performance of the offensive forwards and receivers is not at the same level at all, and to make matters worse, their tempo always seems to be a quarter beat slower, all the tactics are correct, but all the steps are not on the right beat, so the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team looks like a spinning top dancing on a tightrope, precarious and crumbling.

Such a game is almost unbearable to look at -

As commentators said, Lu Ke is playing on his own, but without effective support, he is also unable to support himself. In the first half of the game, the score was only "7:0", which was already a blessing in misfortune.

Chris Wilson finally couldn't take it anymore, slammed his beer glass down on the bar, made a muffled noise, vented his anger, and slammed to his feet, turning his head to look at the silent bar, the lifeless, lifeless sight that made his anger impossible to suppress any longer.

"Jesus Christ! Look, keep your eyes open and take a good look, this is the team you guys are backing! This is the team you think represents the San Francisco 49ers! Did you see that? There was no one playing at all except Bambi, their state of play, it was terrible, it wasn't the scariest thing, what was even more disgusting was that they weren't trying! ”

Chris's voice echoed in the bar, and Jeff, who was sitting next to him, tried to dissuade him, but Chris shook off Jeff's arm, "Why, if you allow them to resist Bambi, don't you allow me to spit on them?" If they have the courage, keep their eyes open and take a good look at what the players in the attacking group are doing other than throwing tantrums at themselves and themselves, at their teammates? No, they didn't do anything. It's like a headless fly, completely lost on the court! Grass! ”

Chris kicked the bar hard, but his heaving chest still couldn't suppress his emotions, "Why don't you have a voice?" You see, Bambi is fighting alone, he never gave up, in the entire first half, only Bambi is working hard and persevering, he needs our support! Hell Jesus Christ! We should be united, we should cheer for Bambi! This is our team, this is our quarterback! ”

As he spoke, Chris's eyes couldn't help but heat, but he suddenly raised his hand, wiped away all the moisture, raised his glass, and poured all the beer into his mouth in one go, "God witness! That's our quarterback, that's our hero! Now, he needs us, and we sit here in silence! Cowards, you damned cowards! ”8)
