Following Walter's grimace, Lu Ke saw Scott and Alex who were warming up. It's a simple scene, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

In the competition for the starting quarterback, Lu Ke wants to stand out, and avoiding injury is a prerequisite. Otherwise, they won't even be eligible to compete, just like Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick before them; Now, Lu Ke is only showing a slight trend and signs of injury, and the team is also ready for second-hand.

In the face of Walter's kind reminder, Lu Ke had angels and demons at war in his mind.

A voice shouted, telling the truth, the hidden danger of injury affects not only one or several games, but the entire career, absolutely do not lose big because of small things; Another voice shouted, this is not an injury at all, it is just a slight tightening of muscles, there is no need to make a fuss, he does not have much advantage in the first place, and if he is honestly slightly injured, the situation will inevitably be more difficult.

In the midst of lightning, the demon still had the upper hand.

"Doctor, thank you, but I'm really fine." Lu Ke opened his mouth and said.

Walter didn't buy it at all, "It's up to me to say if you're okay." ”

In competitive sports, it's common to play with injuries. Sometimes, the team will hide the illness of the players because the team needs them to continue to charge; Sometimes, players will ask the team doctor to hide their illness because the players need to stay on the pitch and fight. Similar situations are not uncommon in the alliance.

Walter again began to do a simple examination; At the same time, on the pitch, the wind is surging.

Andy Dalton, who appeared again, showed incredible focus and dedication, and really awakened the strength of the 35th pick in the second round, and explained with strength that the quarterback rating of over 100 in the first two games is definitely not for nothing.

A wave of offense that lasted 6 minutes and 33 seconds, seven successful passes out of ten, four successful runs, successfully entered the red zone, and with a delicate and accurate eight-yard pass, successfully connected with this year's rookie A.J. Green, the fourth pick in the first round of this year, and scored the first touchdown of the Tigers in today's game!

In the case of a touchdown, a touchdown came.

Andy Dalton and AJ Green, two rookie players, shone in this offense, and both contributed wonderful performances, especially Dalton, who was the key man, and two successful three-gear offensive transitions led the team to continue to move forward. Even if compared with Lu Ke, it is definitely not inferior.

In the face of Lu Ke's wonderful performance, Dalton was also stimulated and motivated, gradually got rid of the shackles of the home game, and also got rid of the pressure of starting the whole game for the first time in his career, and really focused on the game and played his best!

The No. 14 of both teams seems to have recovered at this time, showing good competitive form, and the chemistry of the game is continuing to collide; However, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team has not yet had time to play, because before the Cincinnati Tigers complete the extra point kick, the time of the third quarter of the game has been cleared, and all the suspense and all the excitement are left in the fourth quarter of the game to decide the winner.

The inspection is over. Walter looked at Lu Ke seriously, and there was still a smile on his young face, calm, confident, calm, and vibrant; In the end, Walter could only smile dumbly and patted Lu Ke's shoulder, "Come on, the team still needs you to get a few more touchdowns." Remember to take an ice bath afterwards, though. ”

"That's after the game." Lu Ke also had a leisurely quip.

After Walter turned to leave, Lu Ke stood up, moved his limbs, stretched his muscles, and tried to relax, but the faint tightness still lingered, and the arm muscles and back muscles were still slightly sore, whether this was a minor injury or not, it is unknown for the time being; What is certain is that this lingering tension has an impact on passing.

When completing the passing technique, the nerves are tense and maintain a high level of concentration; But the body is relaxed, especially the right hand that passes the ball, and it must maintain a soft feel and free relaxation to ensure that the fingertips can fully control the rugby. Now, the whole body is like a straightened rubber band, and the impact is inevitable.

Standing on the edge of the venue, in a short period of time, Lu Ke began to do simple yoga movements to relieve muscles and nerves. It's not over yet, he needs to get back to 100 per cent.

At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, the Cincinnati Tigers' special service team took the lead, and after successfully completing the extra point kick, the score was close to "10:17", which is a score that only needs one wave of offense to achieve a comeback. As a result, the pressure once again came to the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team and Lu Ke, especially when Dalton had just handed in a perfect answer sheet and was full of momentum.

"The game between you and me is really beautiful!" Kirk's commentary intervened at the right time, "A touchdown in return with a touchdown, and now, the Tigers are back in momentum, the question is, can the San Francisco 49ers still be tough enough to continue to take the lead?" Or are they going to start consuming game time and trying to hold on to the win? ”

Lu Ke appeared again.

After three consecutive quarters of intense raiding and success, the San Francisco 49ers were unable to contain their scores, which was a real challenge for the Tigers' defensive coaches. Heading into the fourth quarter, they finally made a slight adjustment:

The first line is still in a "4-3" formation, but the standing position of the three linebacks is obviously half a step back, which can bypass the blocking of the offensive front line and directly launch an offensive defense; At the same time, it can also be used to supplement the corner guard and security guard at any time, so as to play more and less, and to some extent curb the momentum of short and medium passes.

The same formation, but it has the same effect as the pistol formation of the offensive group, with many changes and countless possibilities.

Lu Ke keenly captured the change in the focus of the defensive formation, but the judgment in the headset was still a little behind, the game is changing rapidly, and it is often just a thought that you must seize the opportunity, so Lu Ke did not continue to wait for the change and arrangement of tactics, and immediately chose to kick off, as if there was no gathering business to attack.

After kick-off, Lu Ke did not hesitate, turned around directly, and handed the rugby to running back Marcus Lynch.

Lynch held the ball in both hands, ran forward quickly, constantly observing the emotions of the offensive and defensive fronts, and immediately noticed the heavy hoarding in the middle area, a sharp brake, a sharp turn, Lynch stuck to the back of his own offensive forward, circled, and rushed out from the boundary of the offensive front line on the right side, that is, the running route of the receiver outside the slot.

The Tigers' entire defensive formation took half a step back. This small half-step creates a small gap between the offensive and defensive fronts, which has no effect on the passing at all; But for running the ball, it is a space for continuous acceleration and continuous advancement.

After Lynch pushed forward for six yards, a defensive end and two linebackers stopped in time to keep Lynch on the sprint.

In the kick-off just now, the Tigers' special service team kicked the football directly out of the bottom line; So, the 49ers started attacking from their own 20-yard line, and Lynch's running ball successfully led the team's offensive team to the 26-yard line.

Two gears and four yards.

The San Francisco 49ers once again completed the formation, the pistol formation; But with a slight change.

The offensive line directly in front of him is still a five-man formation, with Michael Crabtree on the left and Logan Newman on the right; Four yards behind the offensive line, Lu Ke stood prominently, with Marcus Lynch, the standard pistol formation on the left, but Kyle Williams was summoned on the right side, standing side by side with Lu Ke.

Like a door god, he protects the Dharma left and right.

Such a symmetrical two-wing flying formation is not a conventional pistol formation; What's more, Ted Jean sits seven yards away from the left, just half a step behind the offensive line's horizon. The whole formation is a bit weird.

The Tigers defense team on the opposite side had to make corresponding adjustments, with one outside lineback advancing and tied with four defensive forwards, and five players against five players on the offensive line, still putting on a strong surprise posture.

But at the same time, the zone defense tactics changed to man-to-man tactics. One player stood alone in front of Jean, defending one-on-one; The two corner-backs, corresponding to Newman and Crabcutrie, were separated and positioned on either side of the defensive line, ready for a surprise attack.

Finally, there's a player, about six or seven yards behind, who is responsible for defending the backcourt.

Lu Ke's pupils shrank slightly, and the entire defensive formation formed a composition in his mind, which was a surprise formation, and at the same time, the passing defense was covered as much as possible. So, what does this mean? It means that the anti-running area in the middle is weak; On both sides, thanks to the position of the lineback, the running space and passing space are correspondingly compressed.

The afterglow of his gaze glanced lightly at Atkins. Atkins was in excellent form for raids and tackles today, so the desire to "attack" is extremely strong, and he may even rush forward strongly.

In an instant, the thoughts in my mind surged, and between the permutations and combinations of various tactics, a decision was made on the spot.

An arrow stepped forward, Lu Ke shouted the slogan again, and changed his tactics at the last moment; This time, the 49ers' offensive team was still indifferent, and all the players did not change their positions, which suddenly made Atkins feel a little uneasy in his heart, but before this feeling could expand and spread, Lu Ke had already retreated into the pistol formation again and announced the kick-off.

There was no time to think, Atkins rushed forward, tore through the offensive front line with brute bullish strength, and rushed towards Lu Ke, but as soon as he broke through the pocket, he caught a figure in the corner of his eye, rushing the ball quickly, and the reddish-brown in his arms was rugby!

Worst.
