Seven seconds, two gears, twelve yards to advance.

Efficient and fast, sharp and accurate, this is the San Francisco 49ers' most impressive offensive tactics this season, like mercury, hearty and pleasing to the eye; What's more important is that you can't prevent it, once you lose the rhythm, you will fall into the quagmire and can't extricate yourself.

From the third quarter of the game back to the court, Lu Ke began to pave the way to brew, the Pittsburgh Steelers have always been vigilant, have been vigilant, now, Lu Ke finally found a gap, full firepower to attack, and then the Steelers defensive group fell into the wind for a rare time.

For Steelers fans, this is not good news.

Once the short pass area was infiltrated, the continued pressure on the two perimeter defenders slowed down a bit, and they had to divert their attention from the short pass area, especially around the touchline. Losing yards, it doesn't matter, but not being able to consume game time, which is also fatal, and they have to do everything in their power to prevent the 49ers from taking control of the game time.

But then, after kicking off again, Lu Ke unexpectedly handed the rugby to Marcus Lynch.

While all eyes were on the receiver, Lynch managed to tear a gap and get away from inside guard Ford's grappling to push forward, and by the time the two players were in the grip, Lynch had advanced ten yards and easily got the first strike again.

"San Francisco 49 Asks for a Halting."

The first time Marcus fell to the ground, Lu Ke asked for a timeout, which was a tactical run, and the number of yards was not the point, but to further disrupt the rhythm of the Steelers' defensive group.

There is no way to make such a choice in such a crisis situation.

If it were the other defensive group, it would have been stuck in the rhythm of the 49ers by now, if not collapsed, at least it had begun to be chaotic; However, the Steelers' defensive team has always had a tenacity and perseverance, and coupled with the outstanding individual ability, it is even more difficult to tear through the defense.

Lu Ke must work steadily step by step, and must not be in a hurry - although time is now the most urgent key element, Lu Ke still keeps telling himself: sharpen the knife and not cut the wood. This is true for two short passes in a row, and the same is true for one running ball, step by step, just like a chess master.

On the 29-yard line, 10 yards in the first gear.

"Attack!"

Almost at the same time as the kick-off, the alarm bell in Lu Ke's mind had already sounded, and in the defensive reading just now, the Steelers defensive team successfully deceived themselves-

Two security guards, one shifting their center of gravity to the left front, and one deliberately standing still; The same goes for the two cornerbacks, one moving slightly forward, and the other standing still and not moving. But overall, their center of gravity is actually leaning back, and it can be vaguely seen that their bodies are ready to retreat and defend.

Between the lightning and flint, Lu Ke judged that this was a stretch of defense, and the short pass area was bound to be able to find a gap.

After the actual kick-off, the two safety guards and two corner backs stepped back at the same time, which looked exactly like Lu Ke's prediction, but it was too neat and too uniform, but it was not quite right - could it be that the middle pass area and the short pass area were completely abandoned? Apparently not!

Lu Ke immediately realized that his prediction had been wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, all four players brushed a pause, borrowed the power of retreat, and sprinted in a reverse direction while sprinting towards the starting position of the tee. This also means......

Pounce!

The first and second lines of the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive team burst out and started at the same time, like layers of steel curtains, paving layer by layer, bursting out with a powerful momentum that shook the ground.

Three defensive forwards and an interior defender rushed forward instantaneously, jamming the offensive forward line with no further action; The other interior lineback is following in the footsteps of the running back and waiting for an opportunity to move; The two perimeter guards rushed straight out of the offensive line's pockets and completed the bag from both sides.

Such a tactic is really familiar, and it is completely the strong pressure formation that the Steelers have repeatedly won in the first half.

But this time, Lu Ke seized the opportunity.

At the same time when his hands touched the rugby, it was just an alarm bell, like a beast's intuition, before the brain reacted, Lu Ke had already quickly retreated, one step, two steps, three steps, quickly pulled away, and then the first reaction was to look at the two outside guards, after seeing through the opponent's intention to capture the quarterback, Lu Ke calmed down like never before.

The small broken step adjusted in place, and suddenly exerted force, one moving sideways to the left.

Standing on the blind side of the left hand side is Woodray, who is sprinting longitudinally, and then he sees Lu Ke moving sideways, the shift and twist of the center of gravity suddenly awkward the whole body, and the grappling action has lost its original technical framework, and he actually watched Lu Ke slip away from his fingertips-

What's even more depressing is that Lu Ke's movement with the ball is definitely not clever, and even faintly clumsy. If it weren't for the loss of that momentary opportunity, this time the grappling would have been completely certain!

But, there is no if.

Woodley twisted his body hard, started twice, and made a second tackle, but before the action could be completed, Lu Ke had already passed the ball. A bullet pass, a quick takeaway, and a "whoosh" crossed the McMahon line of the offensive and defensive forwards, and disappeared from Woodley's sight.

The passing target was Vernon Davis.

During the kick-off, Vernon, who had been looking for a gap in the short passing area, noticed the change in the opponent's defensive tactics before he had time to take a step and pull out the route, so he immediately cut inside, pulled his feet towards the central area, turned around, and he saw the passing rugby ball, and steadily received the ball in the chest position.

It's a five-yard short pass on the left near the central area.

After Vernon received the ball, almost at the same time, two safety guards and one corner-back had formed an encirclement. Vernon immediately realized that he couldn't make a breakthrough and was probably just wasting time, so he chose to take the initiative to fall to the ground, confirm the completion of the catch, and then threw the rugby ball to the referee.

Turning around, Vernon cast his gaze towards Lu Ke, "Do you need to pause?" ”

It was a quick shot in a desperate situation that didn't take care of the game time, but it's too late now and they have to push forward; Now there are still two timeouts in hand, which must be left for more critical moments later.

So, Lu Ke shook his head, and the players in the offensive group quickly stepped forward to complete the formation.

Two gears and five yards.

After a quick kick-off, Lu Ke swept the whole court, and this time the Steelers defensive team gave up the raid, but hoarded a large number of troops in the pass defense, not only two security guards and two corner backs, but also two outside guards and an inside lineback began to retreat, making the entire court defense.

Of course, Lu Ke thought that there would be no problem with the pocket protection of the offensive front.

Because the Steelers only sent three defensive forwards and one interior guard to attack the pocket — maybe even three defensive forwards, that interior guard should still be on the lookout for running backs. This means that the attacking front line will have a numerical advantage.

But the next moment, a large shadow appeared in front of Lu Ke's eyes.

Not on the left side, nor on the right side, but in front of him, like Mount Tai pressing the top, he threw Lu Ke to the ground head-on, with nowhere to escape, and he was powerless to resist, as if a hurricane overwhelmed the mast, with a crisp sound of "click", he simply fell to the ground neatly.

The disparity in power is so great that it is difficult to describe in words.

After feeling the coldness of the ground in his body, Lu Ke realized that it was not the two outside guards who completed the Steelers' first tackle in this game, but the peak Casey Hampton.

Under the crisis situation, the Steelers' defensive team also used the bottom of the box, deliberately removed the front-line raid staffing, and instead focused on passing defense, after the serious imbalance in the proportion of power, the offensive front line relaxed its vigilance slightly, but Hampton completed the instant outbreak of crushing, and finally succeeded in killing the quarterback.

As the top pinnacle of the league, with one against two or even one against three, this is the power of the Hamptons. Five Pro Bowl appearances in his nine-year career, and a rare pinnacle — all the more rare because he needs to compete with defensive tackles for a Pro Bowl spot.

In this game, Hampton, who has always been motionless, suddenly attacked, Jonathan Goodwin and Anthony Davis couldn't resist at all, like the wind blowing wheat waves, fell to the sides, and watched Hampton directly knock down their quarterback.

While the San Francisco 49ers offense performed strongly, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense responded strongly, and in the final moments of the game, the sparkling matchup between the two sides was really amazing! It's Monday Night Race!

Goodwin pulled Lu Ke to stand up, and then saw Lu Ke smile and teased, "It seems that we have also pushed the Steelers to the extreme, and even the playoff tactics have been taken out." Now, are we going to perform a stunt too? ”

Goodwin smiled dumbly, "That's up to you." Are you okay? "The tonnage of the Hamptons, even Goodwin is a little unbearable, let alone Lu Ke?

"It's fine." Lu Ke waved his hand.

Goodwin and Davis have actually unloaded most of their strength, and in the end, Lu Ke did not escape capture, mainly because of an accident, and the absolute difference in weight. The real impact isn't really fierce. Now the bigger question is, how do they break through the Steelers' multi-faceted defense?

Three gears and eight yards.

After being captured just now, they lost three yards, and now the San Francisco 49ers are also in the dilemma of three long yards conversion; But third gear is not a problem, and even if third gear fails, they will firmly choose fourth gear, and the point is, how can they continue to push forward now?
