Lu Ke knew that he was taking risks, he was gambling, and he was crazy.

In rugby, a long pass is a fatal blow that can turn the tide at a crucial moment, but no one chooses to open the game. It's like in a basketball game, if you can, no one wants to shoot directly from the midcourt, because the risk is too great, and once you make a mistake, it's to give your advantage to the opponent, three-pointers? That's heavy weapons; Half-time ball? That's a big gamble.

What's more, the receiver and the defender are on the same starting line, which means that the farther the pass is, the longer the receiver or near end needs to run, and the more time it takes them to get to the receiving position, which also means that the quarterback has to wait longer to make a shot, and the offensive line has to block the opposing defender for longer.

If a defender breaks straight through the offensive line, knocks the quarterback to the ground, or disrupts a pass, the offense may be lost before the receiver can get to the receiving position for the long pass.

That said, long passes are a double-edged sword, and unlike football and basketball, long passes are riskier and more difficult.

Now, Lu Ke has to choose a long pass.

The problem is that the sparring team is just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, their skills are not strong enough, their ability is not outstanding enough, their tactical understanding is not satisfactory, and more importantly, there is little cooperation between them. Sparring is sparring for a reason. Therefore, Lu Ke needs to make a big gamble.

In this big gamble, if it fails, then the most it is to re-hand the offensive power to the third echelon; But, what about success? The sparring team needs confidence, faith, run-in, and unity, and once the long pass attack is complete, then it's all at your fingertips!

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ke eliminated all the mixed thoughts in his mind, kept himself calm, didn't think about the result of the game, didn't think about how long it would take him to pass the ball again, didn't think about any positive or negative possibilities, just focused on attacking. He straightened up and began to observe the opposing defensive formation.

For quarterbacks, the big picture is crucial. Observing the opponent's defensive formation, observing the opponent's defensive tactics and intentions, observing the opponent's layout on the court, making accurate judgments, and even adjusting their offensive tactics according to the opponent's defense, this is the real elite quarterback.

Payton Manning is the most proficient of the active players. Before kick-off, the offensive team has forty seconds to prepare, and Payton will often change offensive tactics in the last ten seconds, or identify the opponent's defensive holes and change strategies; Either be aware of the opponent's defensive layout and make adjustments. In such a short period of time, if the opponent's defensive group is unable to respond immediately, then there is a good chance that this gear will be completed.

Lu Ke's physical talent is a shortcoming, but his consciousness and tactical talent are his strengths. He is one hundred and ninety-three centimeters tall, occupying the commanding heights, and his eyes are like eagle eyes, sharply scanning the opponent's defensive layout. It can be seen that the third echelon underestimated the enemy, and they cannot be blamed for this -

Lu Ke? A sparring partner among sparring partners? Guy who never played a quarterback in college? Not to mention the tactical drills of the offensive group. In the face of such an offensive brain, no matter how vigilant you are, your contempt will inevitably rise.

Lu Ke walked behind the center Tevin-McDonald, but his eyes were still carefully looking at the opponent's defensive formation, and the third-echelon players stood in their positions with a grin, restrained their smiles, retracted their gaze, and became focused one by one, their eyes gradually condensed, staring at Lu Ke, the ridiculed and mocking gaze was carrying out an invisible attack.

One of the voices rang out, "Boy, be careful, don't throw the rugby away after kick-off." Before they could tell who said it, everyone burst into laughter and made a mess, and the source of the sound was naturally drowned out.

But the sparring team surprisingly did not refute, the offensive front line completed the formation, Lu Ke pretended to be flustered and turned his head and looked at Derek, Derek and Lu Ke exchanged glances, and then spread their feet, put their hands on their knees, and put on an offensive posture. When he turned back again, Lu Ke was relieved.

He patted Tewen on the shoulder, "Man, I'm ready." ”

Lu Ke stood behind Tewen, and everyone was ready, waiting for the attack order. Lu Ke thought that he would be nervous, but in fact, he was not nervous at all, his heart was like water, as if he had been waiting for this moment for the past few years, and he had never been unfamiliar, and then he raised his voice and shouted, "Attack!" ”

Without warning, the attack command appeared.

Tevin threw the rugby ball back between his legs, Lu Ke grabbed it accurately, and then stepped back quickly, quickly, he pretended to make a pass, but his eyes kept looking for Derek's position. At the same time, the entire offensive front line began to move quickly to the left, "Bang! Bang bang! The sound of collision was endless, and the opposing defenders rushed up one after another, colliding with the offensive forward line, and the powerful impact force suddenly made the offensive front line become fragmented.

The players of the sparring team, in front of the defenders of the third echelon, seem to be vulnerable.

Lu Ke has no distractions, he knows that he must believe in his offensive front. The slightest hesitation leads to failure.

Turning around, Lu Ke pretended to pass the rugby to Derek, who made a running backback's ball-protecting gesture with both hands, bent down, and began to rush forward. Lu Ke scooped down with his right hand, and the rugby ball turned and hid on the outside of his waist and thighs, and at the same time, he stood up straight and began to look for John's figure by taking advantage of his height.

The defenders really hit the plan, they didn't expect Lu Ke to give up running the ball as soon as he came up, let alone Lu Ke would have a fake run and real pass with Derek. To be more precise, they didn't analyze Lu Ke's tactical intentions at all - or rather, they didn't think that Lu Ke would have a tactical arrangement, and just used his defensive instincts/abilities to launch a confrontation.

So, they followed the movement of the offensive line and began to block the direction of Derek's advance, and Derek could be seen running quickly to the left, trying to make a line and break through the encirclement, and the attackers and defenders on the field began to move quickly to the left like a beehive.

The small broken steps under Lu Ke's feet quickly switched, looked along the right-hand side, and then saw John running rapidly.

The 40-yard sprint is one of the most iconic and well-known events in football, and the current league record was set by Chris-Johnson in 2008 with a time of 4.24 seconds, which no one has been able to beat in the past two years.

Now, John is like a wild horse, and the speed of that frantic sprint seems to be transformed into Chris Johnson, and he is running at a rapid pace. But Lu Ke found that his position still did not reach the ideal position to receive the ball.

The confrontation between the defensive and offensive groups only lasted less than three seconds. If Lu Ke passes the ball now, the best case is that no one receives it, then the pass is not completed; The worst-case scenario is to be picked up by the opposing defender and intercepted.

Lu Ke still needed more time, and when he made a quick decision, Lu Ke left the pocket - the quarterback activity area guarded by the offensive front line is called the pocket, and at the risk of being exposed to his tactical intentions, he left the left side and ran quickly towards the right.

Sure enough, the opposing defenders discovered Lu Ke's intentions. A man sprinted menacingly, the chaos filled with the pain and sound of the impact.

Lu Ke's attention was highly concentrated, staring at John's wild steps, his steps were firm and calm, without any panic, and then he took a step forward, drawing a perfect arc with his right arm, and the rugby whistled out and flew out, drawing a wonderful rainbow arc in the sky.

"Bang!" The opponent's defenders had already killed Lu Ke and pounced on Lu Ke fiercely, and the powerful impact directly pushed Lu Ke to the ground.

Lu Ke focused all his attention on the rugby, so that he was not prepared at all, and the whole person fell down like a rag doll, with severe pain in his shoulders and arms, but Lu Ke didn't care about it at all, staring intently at the rugby ball soaring in the air.

Not only Lu Ke, but also the offensive players and the opponent's letting go players also raised their heads to look at the rugby, and even the coaches and other players standing on the sidelines also raised their heads to look at the rugby. No one expected that the first attack of the sparring team would be a super long pass?

The players in the defensive group who were responsible for defending the wide receivers finally reacted at this time, and quickly rushed towards John, but their defensive tactics were all centered on running the ball and attacking, and they didn't expect that there would be a long pass, and all the backcourt was empty, so they could only watch John's back and run wildly.

John only felt as if he had put on wings, and when he looked up, he saw the rugby flying above him, and he caught a glimpse of the forty-yard line not far away, hurry, he needed to hurry, this had almost reached his limit, and the whole person soared, full of power, but he didn't have any superfluous thoughts, just stared at the rugby, and then stretched out his hands and stretched out as much as he could.

The flat hands extended his receiving range, and then he saw that the rugby ball was like a light feather, accurately falling in his palm, the power was not too big, not too bumpy, he just reflexively folded his arms, and held the rugby ball accurately and securely in his arms, so steadfast, so firm.

But the offensive is still not over, and the front, a flat river. Run, John, run as hard as you can!
