1564 Take the initiative

Standing in the pocket, Lu Ke can take in the entire half of the opposite side, the cold and biting wind is still raging on the surface of the skin like a hob, even if he is engrossed in the game and temporarily forgets the attack of low temperature, but his attention is not so concentrated a little, and he can immediately feel the cold winter majesty of Green Bay again; But now there is more important things to deal with than the cold.

The entire defensive group of the Green Bay Packers pressed on all fronts:

In the center, three defensive forwards and two outside linebackers lined up in a row, and the offensive front line was on both sides of the Chu River and Han boundary, and the threat of pressure and rushing from the entire front line completely showed its fangs; On both wings, the two cornerbacks also elevated their stance to the front, standing face to face with the two wide receivers, just a step away from each other; Still in the center, the two interior linebacks also moved their positions forward dramatically, reducing the distance to within five yards from the tee line.

Blockbuster threat!

The Green Bay Packers did not hide their pressure ambitions at all, so does this mean that the weakness of the second-line defense may become Lu Ke's enough opportunity to attack?

Putting aside the possibility of the Green Bay Packers creating traps - as long as both the interior and corner backs retreat, then the second-line defense can gather six players, and the opposing defense combined with the zone defense can still have the upper hand; Just talking about the advantage of the Green Bay Packers in the front confrontation now, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive front line simply can't provide Lu Ke with enough passing time, so there is no possibility of sneaking long passes.

Mike Ruppati has not long returned from injury, Joe Stanley and Alex Boone have minor injuries, Jonathan Goodwin and Anthony Davis have both seen a significant decline in form this season, in other words, Lu Ke's offensive front line does lack a little bit of toughness and strength - after such a fierce game for the second week in a row, he still needs to face the attack of the weather today, and he has not been able to keep up with the rhythm after entering the fourth quarter.

The advantages and disadvantages of home and away games are now particularly apparent.

The Green Bay Packers seized the on-court state of the San Francisco 49ers and made a tactical layout in a targeted manner, seemingly not worrying about their second-line defense at all, throwing off their arms to destroy Lu Ke's pass, and cutting off the San Francisco 49ers' offense from the root, so, can this opportunity be considered an opportunity?

What's more, if this is the trap of the Green Bay Packers, which seems to be a surprise attack and rush, but in fact retreats to defend, then Lu Ke's tactics must be changed again.

A burst of steaming heat accompanied by the rhythm of breathing, Lu Ke moved the fingers of his right hand, the thoughts in his mind surged rapidly, without hesitation and hesitation, after determining the judgment and choice, he immediately stood up straight, quickly modified the tactics, and in the fierce noise of the Blue Castle Stadium, he continued to roar, conveying the new tactics to his teammates, and then he was ready again and announced the kickoff.

"Attack!"

At the moment of kick-off, Lu Ke could feel a bloody wind and rain rushing towards him, and the cold wind mixed with the devouring bloody qi rushed towards him with teeth and claws.

As expected, the five-man rush tactics demonstrated the Green Bay Packers' explosive confidence in the frontline confrontation, in stark contrast to the stiffness and clumsiness of the opening stage; Instead of even resorting to misplaced tactics to create an advantage, the home team forcefully tore open pockets in a one-on-one head-to-head duel.

And they succeeded.

Among the "five vs. five", the confrontation between left offensive tackle Joe Stanley and right outside guard Clay Matthews, right offensive guard Anthony Davis and left defensive end B-J Raj (B-J-Raji) is the most dangerous, Stanley and Anthony were unable to get stuck in position, both were forced to retreat continuously, seeing that Matthews and Raj had formed a breakthrough, obvious cracks had appeared in the pocket, and the opportunity to capture Lu Ke was close at hand.

But neither Stanley nor Anthony was discouraged. Although their bodies were a little out of tune, the two of them still bit their last breath and used their body shape to jam their positions, like a roadblock, clumsily intercepting the path of their opponent's breakthrough, even if they could entangle for a while, just for a short time, which could be the key to turning the game around.

Lu Ke said: Buy me time.

In just one sentence, it reveals tragedy and firmness, and the light surging in those eyes is burning with the fire of "endless fighting".

Stanley knew that he couldn't retreat, his one step back might bury the entire team's efforts for the whole game, and he definitely couldn't live up to Lu Ke's trust. Although he was almost out of step now, Stanley gritted his teeth and withstood Clay Matthews' continuous onslaught with his shoulder.

It was really, really hard, and Matthews unreasonably rushed into Stanley's card slot and then his pocket was completely torn open.

Stanley had lost his position and lost his center of gravity, but his eyes were not a little flustered or fearful, his teeth were almost crushed, and in the process of the collapse of his entire body, his hands were still firmly holding Matthews, destroying Matthews's forward momentum in the same way.

Hang on!

Hold on!

Stanley had tried his best, but he was still freed from the jam by Matthews, and then a exhaustive emptiness mixed with the cold air burrowed into the pores, and he still tried to grab Matthews' calf or ankle relentlessly, even if it was to disrupt Matthews's sprinting rhythm, that would be good.

In the end, Matthews stepped on the back of Stanley's hand, completely shook off Stanley, and sprinted towards Lu Ke.

"I tried my best, Bambi, I really tried my best, I'm sorry." Stanley's strength was drained, his lungs pulled violently like bellows, and the scorching air made his entire chest cavity burn, as if thousands of embroidery needles were punctured at the same time, and in an instant his brain fell into darkness, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.

Stanley's gaze still didn't leave Matthews' footsteps: did he buy enough time for Lu Ke?

……

Lu Ke is retreating in an orderly manner, steadily pulling away distance, keeping his vision clear and unobstructed, and taking in all the confrontations between the offensive and defensive fronts.

Seeing that Matthews and Raj were about to form a breakthrough, Lu Ke made a quick judgment on the entire confrontation situation, and his footsteps moved quickly in the direction of Matthews, but the action that seemed to be a sheep into the tiger's mouth cleverly took out a small arc towards the rear, which would avoid Matthews's "hunting" range, and at the same time forced Matthews to adjust his center of gravity and change the direction of his attack, so as to further buy time for Lu Ke to move.

Matthews was entangled by Stanley, and although he successfully knocked away from Stanley, he was never able to completely shake it off, and in the midst of stumbling, he was unable to keep up with Lu Ke's rhythm.

Seeing Lu Ke walk around in front of Matthews, Matthews changed direction; Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke made an emergency braking action, quickly turned back and moved sideways to the right, and instantly increased the speed - the release of the instant explosive force allowed Lu Ke to quickly shake off Matthews.

Matthews also tried to complete the grapple, but his footsteps were tripped by Stanley, stumbling to change the center of gravity and direction, and the result was a chaotic footwork, the rhythm and speed were completely chaotic, and he could only watch Lu Ke widen the distance between himself and use his pocket feet to regain passing space.

"Damn it!" Matthews only felt his anger start to burn.

Lu Ke didn't notice Matthews's mood at all, and in the rapid lateral movement, he had already imagined that Raj would break through Anthony's figure with all his might.

But Raj does not have the explosive power of Matthews, and he has not been able to break through Anthony's flesh and blood for the time being, and the distance between him and Lu Ke is an arm's length, but there is no way to attack further because of the separation of Anthony.

Just as Raj was about to use the way of fighting cattle across the mountain to destroy Lu Ke's passing balance, he then saw Lu Ke raise his right hand, wave his forearm quickly, and make a passing posture, which made Raj immediately vigilant and gave up the struggle to break through, but raised his hands high and jumped on the spot, hoping to destroy the passing parabola, even if there is no way, at least it can destroy Lu Ke's passing sight.

But...... Lu Ke immediately withdrew his right hand, his footsteps did not stop at all, and then he moved sideways to the right side again, and took the initiative to run out of the pocket.

It's a feint!

And Raj didn't have time to be annoyed, because of his blocking action, Anthony had already gasped again, as if holding a sandbag, he pressed Raj's body with his shoulder, carried Raj and continued to push forward, and immediately repaired the broken pocket again, and Raj lost the opportunity to put pressure on Lu Ke.

The whole process is described as full of countless dangers, but in the actual game, it is less than two seconds:

From the beginning of the serious crisis of the kick-off ball facing a rushing pass, Lu Ke chose to take the initiative in the retreat step, narrowly bypassing Matthews's sackling impact, and then completing the switchback run with emergency braking, and then using the passing feint to shake off Raj's strong pressure during the lateral movement, and finally took the initiative to run sideways to the right side to leave the pocket.

Lu Ke's footsteps turned back and made a big detour, as if standing on the edge of the cliff but never realized that he was standing next to the abyss, and the bold world found a glimmer of life in the stormy waves.

At this time, the Green Bay Packers defensive team realized that Lu Ke actually used himself as a bait to develop a simplified version of the screen short pass tactics - the quarterback and the offensive forward tactics are separated, but it is precisely this tactical detachment that successfully deceived the judgment of the defensive team, and then used his own footsteps and feints to attract the attention of the defensive force, and the ultimate goal is still to complete the pass.

Seemingly precarious, but in fact carefully calculated, Lu Ke once again showed the 2011 season of the "newborn calf is not afraid of tigers" attitude of the unselected rookie, the bloody nature of the critical moment firmly grasped the initiative in his hands.

So, who is the target of Lu Ke's short pass?
