1508 Missed the lead
At the crucial moment, David Akons finally withstood the pressure and scored an extra point to equalize. Despite some danger, some swings, some uneasiness, but a penalty is a penalty in, and the number on the score board comes to "23:23", to a draw!
Arkens's suppressed and suppressed emotions were only able to be truly released at this time, he clenched his fists hard, cheering himself up, and then he felt a nervousness in fear, as if there were hundreds of butterflies in his chest flapping their wings at the same time, the feeling of apprehension was confusing, but fortunately, he didn't miss the extra points-
Otherwise, it would be hard for him to forgive himself for ending his career in such a way, not to mention what it would be like to end his career in such a way, and he was more worried that he had failed to live up to the expectations of his teammates.
Looking at the numbers on the scoreboard back to the same running line, Arkens turned and shook his fist at his teammates, cheering on the offensive and defensive groups!
Overtime, here!
Regardless of the pre-match analysis, and regardless of the comparison of strengths, after entering overtime, it is to return to the same running line, just like team sports such as football and basketball, overtime is full of suddenness and surprise, any team can become the winner, even the slightest mistake will be magnified to the extreme, no one can take it lightly.
What's more, the winning percentages of the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers are already very close, and now in overtime, the outcome is even more unpredictable.
This season, the Arizona Cardinals once experienced an overtime game and managed to win; The last time the San Francisco 49ers played overtime was in the 2011 National League Finals, and they lost the game. Of course, this doesn't mean anything, the whole league knows that the San Francisco 49ers are very good at hard battles, and have completed the Jedi reversal on the edge of the cliff many times before and after, especially in the playoffs last season.
The current San Francisco 49ers have completed a makeover.
After a short break and no respite for either team, Lu Ke and Palmer returned to the center of the stadium to prepare for extra time.
The atmosphere of the game began to become restless again, and the entire University of Phoenix stadium was filled with an indescribable restlessness, with a mixture of humming and roaring thunder, and you could faintly feel the ground stomping and shaking, as if the whole world was beginning to shake.
After a rollercoaster ride from victory to draw, the home fans finally woke up, and the layers of sound were gradually rising and exploding, the urgent heat and sharp sharpness rolled on the skin surface of every player, and the home atmosphere was hot and tense again, which was the motivation for the Arizona Cardinals, and a nightmare for the San Francisco 49ers, and the difference between home and away was fiercely colliding.
The referees standing in the middle of the field had to tear their throats to get their words across, and from a distance, it looked as if they were arguing, but in fact they were just guessing coins for overtime.
Palmer opted for the reverse side of the coin; Lu Ke automatically chose the front of the coin.
At this time, there was a small accident on the field again-
The referee tossed the coin, but he was too nervous to flip it over at all, and as a result, the coin fell to the ground in a straight up and down posture, like a stiff parabola, and all the players were completely dumbfounded.
"The coin is not flipped! No flipping! Logan, who was standing behind Lu Ke, was the first to protest strongly, and then Aldon and Crabtree and others also protested, but Lu Ke couldn't help laughing: Isn't this very joyful?
The Arizona Cardinals players tried to argue, but they themselves were a little soft-tongued, and the referee immediately made the correct decision, "The coin didn't flip over, it needs to be re-tossed." The Cardinals didn't linger any longer, nodding their heads in acknowledgment of the referee's decision.
The studio also joked, "I think it takes more to toss a bean than it flips." ”
Again, the referee tossed a coin.
All eyes were focused on the coin, which was tossed high, this time it was flipped up, refracting the light of the whole field in the rotation of the front and back, and even suddenly in a dazzling halo at some point, and then when it reappeared, gravity began to pull rapidly, and the coin quickly flipped and landed on the lawn, and all eyes were gathered: the back.
The Arizona Cardinals won the offense. Lady Luck was on the home side, again. Even if it's rethrown, it's still the same.
But Lu Ke was unmoved, nodded calmly at Palmer, and then turned around and ran towards the sidelines to prepare for overtime.
It is clearly perceptible that Justin Smith is actively warming up. Although he didn't say anything, the extra-time of the 2011 Nations League final was still deeply imprinted on Justindy, and it had nothing to do with winning or losing – most importantly, he wanted to play side by side with his comrades when it mattered, rather than sit around like a fool.
Lu Ke's footsteps paused slightly, he is the captain of the offensive group, not a member of the defensive group, he is not qualified to dictate the work of the defensive group - after Willis is injured and absent, it is now Navoro Bowman as the captain of the defensive group, and Navoro should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the defensive group; But the situation at this time has changed subtly, even Lu Ke himself, he knows how terrible it is when the nightmare becomes a demon.
Although the San Francisco 49ers had just completed the Lucky Marys and pulled the game back to the same starting line, it was definitely an incredible outburst, and it should have been the time when morale was at its highest, and they didn't need to cheer up to fully devote themselves to overtime; But the nightmare of defeat once again came to mind, and the psychological state of the defensive team began to become uneasy after the ecstasy.
And there was a coin toss accident just now, and in the end Lady Luck was still on the side of the Arizona Cardinals, which was indescribable for the 49ers in San Francisco, and the unease continued to expand.
If nothing is done, the injured defensive group will be further troubled, and the form of the entire team may fluctuate.
So, Lu Ke shouted in the direction of the defensive group, "Hey! Don't get distracted, it's your showtime, get ready to play! Don't you feel the jealousy in your eyes coming from here? Extra time is supposed to be the shining moment for the attacking group, but before we shine, now it's up to the defensive group to shine first, so, show time! We await you to conquer the world! ”
In the loud noise of the audience, Lu Ke tried his best and couldn't convey the words clearly, but even just intermittent words were enough, Justin Smith, Ahmed Brooks and Aldon Smith and others gradually came back to their senses, and then Navoro took the initiative to step forward, nodded to Lu Ke, and then looked at his teammates in the defensive group, as if he was about to say something.
Willis stayed in San Francisco in order to recuperate from his injuries and did not come with the team, but at this time, Navoro began to miss Willis like never before, he wanted to be like Lu Ke, inspiring his teammates in the defensive group to cheer up, but he didn't know what to do, a thousand words were surging in his mind, but he couldn't find a clear idea, and finally, he clenched his fists and roared at his teammates, "The fight continues!" ”
This sentence is sufficient.
Alton was the first to respond with a loud roar, followed by Justin and Ahmed, then the rest of the defense, and even the offensive and special service players joined in to usher in extra time with an impassioned gesture. No matter how difficult the future is, they will never bow their heads!
The special services of both sides appeared.
There were no waves on the tee-off, as Akens kicked the ball straight off the baseline, leaving no chance for the Arizona Cardinals to come back and the home team would start from the 20-yard line.
Both sides know what this offensive and defensive gear means, once the touchdown, then it is like the golden ball system of football, the whole game is directly terminated, and the offensive group firmly grasps the initiative; The defence has to be fully focused on the game, and there is no room for error now, and this is the crucial moment of the battle.
Palmer knows this.
Navoro knew that, too.
But no one expected that the first wave of overtime would have an accident - like a microcosm of the whole game!
The San Francisco 49ers opted for a six-man rush and pushed all the defense forward, unreasonably tearing through the pockets of the Arizona Cardinals' offensive front, forcing Palmer to stumble through the chaos and dance the ballet - but the Arizona Cardinals' offensive front stumbled and stumbled to complete the dismantling and win Palmer a near-impossible escape space!
As a traditional pocket quarterback, Palmer's footwork is better than Luke's rookie season, alternating between jumping and stumbling almost the entire time, as if he was playing a game of hopscotch, and he was about to be tackled several times, but escaped all of them several times, and finally escaped from his pocket very awkwardly, and with his own footsteps completely shaky, he passed a short 10-yard pass diagonally in front of the left.
Palmer finds unmarked Larry Fitzgerald!
Kind of familiar-
This is the case just now that Lu Ke completed the first attack of Wanfu Mary, and now the positions of the two sides are reversed, and sure enough, no one can predict the development of competitive sports in advance.
