807 Rise to fame
The three meetings in two seasons were all fought to the last moment, and the winner was decided by a fraction of a second.
In the three encounters so far, all of them have evolved the offense to the extreme, truly interpreting the meaning of "confrontation and attack".
Looking back at every encounter, the offensive group, defensive group and special service group of both sides have burst out with huge energy and delivered a rare performance.
What's more, every game is marked by a series of surprises that have sparked a series of exclamations: zero-second offense, Hail Mary, overtime kills, quarterback catches, and quarterback auto-passes. Any one of the unexpected confrontations is enough to become a masterpiece in the alliance.
This is the San Francisco 49ers vs. the New York giants!
Each game of each matchup is enough to be included in the top 10 best games of the season, and in just three games in two seasons, the two teams have built up a sparkling, unyielding, bayonet-red chemistry that has become one of the most anticipated matchups in the entire league.
In the long history of the NFL, there are countless wonderful matchups, not only sworn enemies in the same district, but also countless sworn enemies precipitated by historical origins, ESPN has selected the top ten greatest matchups in history -
First, the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Washington Redskins; second, the Green Bay Packers vs. the Chicago Bears; third, the Kansas Chiefs vs. the Oakland Raiders; fourth, the New York Giants vs. the Philadelphia Eagles; Fifth, the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns.
Sixth, the Denver Broncos vs. the Oakland Raiders; Seventh, the Green Bay Packers vs. the Minnesota Vikings; eighth, San Francisco 49ers vs. St. Louis Rams; ninth, Cincinnati Tigers vs. Cleveland Browns; Tenth, the Miami Dolphins vs. the New York Jets.
All of the above duels carry the weight of history, precipitate the glorious heritage of the past, and undoubtedly occupy an important place in the long river of history.
The Cleveland Browns mentioned in it are not the current renovated Cleveland Browns team, but the team that is now renamed the Baltimore Ravens, and naturally, the matchup between the fifth and seventh places has now continued to be the same district battle between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Tigers respectively.
After entering the new century, with the strong rise of teams such as Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, and New England Patriots, the ranking of this list has also undergone many changes, the most direct is the "Big Manning VS Brady" showdown every year, which is the magic weapon of ratings and has been tried and tested repeatedly.
But what is certain is that the spark between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants, which has just emerged in the past two years, is now rapidly rising as a rocket, especially for new fans, and the clash between the two teams is undoubtedly more interesting and intense.
On the one hand, the New York Giants are two-time Super Bowl champions and are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers as the most successful team in the past decade, behind the New England Patriots. The San Francisco 49ers finally found the motivation and energy to return to the top again after falling to the bottom for a long time, and grabbed countless attention as dark horses.
On the other hand, with New York on one side and San Francisco on the other, in the current situation that there are no NFL teams in Los Angeles, this is the best representation of the "East-West Dispute" in the entire North American region, where there is always competition between the East and West Coasts, from culture to politics/politics, from fashion to art, from lifestyle to weather conditions, everything can be the focus of the showdown.
The "National Derby" was originally just a name deliberately brought out by the media in order to make gimmicks and explosive points, but now it has gradually taken on its meaning, detonating the enthusiasm of discussion on social networking platforms.
Especially after this game, it deservedly surpassed the three night games and became the most discussed game of the week.
Among them, Lu Ke once again became the protagonist of the animated pictures and short videos widely circulated on Twitter and Facebook with the incredible performance of the last wave of attacks, and people couldn't even tell which was more amazing -
Is it a trick offense, using Lu Ke as the passing object to complete the touchdown? Or is it an accident with an additional point, Lu Ke passes the ball to himself, and after completing the catch, he hits the corner post in a flying attitude to complete the conversion of two bonus points?
"Any clip that comes out is the best of the week."
This is the conclusion of ESPN's "Within the League" program, and it is also true, among the top ten balls of the week selected by the NFL official website, Lu Ke received the touchdown at the top of the list, and deservedly became the best offense of the week; And Lu Ke's own passing and receiving of the ball ranked third, which is also considered one of the most incredible moments of the week.
If Lu Ke last season was born more as a hunter, the two factors of losing rookies and Chinese players are more or less contaminated with mythology, even if the performance is wonderful and outstanding, people's attention will inevitably add a touch of strangeness.
Then, this season's Lu Ke, after successfully breaking the "two-year syndrome", really showed his absolute strength, stripped off all the additional conditions, gained a firm foothold in the league, and reaped the love and support of fans one after another.
It only takes one reference to see this:
For six consecutive weeks, Lu Ke's No. 14 jersey has topped the league's sales charts!
It's not just a week or two of outbreaks, but six weeks in a row, and the supremacy is unshakable; During this period, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III both threatened the title of the No. 14 jersey, but after the final statistics, Lu Ke is still the most popular football player in North America.
What's even more incredible is that after the home defeat of the New York Giants this week, Lu Ke's jersey sales once again ushered in a strong explosive curve, with weekly sales soaring by 450% compared with the previous week, and the sales figure was more than the sum of the second to tenth places, and created the highest weekly sales in the past three years.
This is Lu Ke's powerful momentum now!
Why?
The reason is very simple, Asian American groups, including Chinese Americans, have become the protagonists of the market.
According to official statistics, in the past six weeks, groups of people buying the No. 14 jersey have spread all over the continent, with many white and black groups, especially in the big cities on the East and West Coasts; However, Asian-Americans accounted for 68 percent of total sales, nearly 70 percent.
A lack of historical data makes it impossible to make longitudinal comparisons, but league officials have made an estimate that after the 2012 season kicks off, Asians will buy twice as many jerseys as in the past two decades combined. In other words, Roger Goodall's strategy has finally achieved initial success, and the market for the Asian community in North America has finally opened its door, tapping into endless potential.
And that's just the beginning.
Chinese identity, this is a double-edged sword, once upon a time, this is a hot potato that everyone is afraid to avoid; Now, it is unconsciously creating a market value that everyone is looking for. If time can be turned back, then, will Lu Ke still lose the draft conference?
Focus, focus, or focus, the era of total victory belonging to Lu Ke is swarming with one victory after another.
This is true for fans and spectators, and analytical commentators are no exception.
This week, Chuck Lehrer's official league power rankings once again deservedly awarded the No. 1 spot to the San Francisco 49ers.
"First place: 49 San Francisco.
Now, it's no longer news that this team wins, it is. Not because they have won six in a row, but because of the form and ability they have shown in the process of winning.
The team was clearly in trouble this week, with the collective butter hands of the receiving team putting the game in a difficult situation, but they managed to find their rhythm and get back on winning track, beating the defending champions by a narrow one point to extend their unbeaten run this season.
It was good news to see Randy Moss running on the field of Candlesticks again, and it instantly reawakened those fond memories of Moss, who was always able to pull off incredible catches, and whose runs, his talents, and his abilities were the rarest gifts God has given to the rugby game. With eight catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns, the same Randy Moss we know is back.
There is also Lu Ke who cannot be ignored. The game reminded everyone that the sophomore quarterback was not complacent, and that he continued to hone his skills and abilities throughout the offseason, even in a crisis situation, and still carried the team to victory on his own, not to mention the two amazing performances in the final wave of offense.
It's no exaggeration to say that the San Francisco 49ers have truly found their captain and are now riding the waves.
So, the question now is: how long can they continue to be in this state? After the fluctuations come, will they be able to grit their teeth and persevere? Also, who will be able to challenge this advanced team? We'll see. ”
Since the second week of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers have firmly held the crown of the official power rankings, and have not wavered for five consecutive weeks, which is an extremely rare scene, from controversy to calm, from exclusion to acceptance, from protest to calm, and now this team is using its actual performance to win its own respect and recognition step by step.
When Chuck awarded the No. 1 spot to the San Francisco 49ers again this week, there was a lot of peace in the league, and there was division, but there was no controversy, because they were one of only two teams in the league to win all of them!
