714 Fingertips tremble
"Up! Packer, on! ”
The roar of support in the Blue Castle Stadium faded away, like a distant echo in the canyon, echoing in the eardrums, but never disappearing.
Lu Ke realized that he was a little distracted.
After taking a deep breath and adjusting, the emotion slowly settled, but the sound of the heart hitting the chest began to slowly increase, and the sticky and tight feeling attached to the surface of the skin, like the wetland environment in the southern United States in the middle of summer, wet and slimy, always lingering.
After correcting it, Lu Ke realized that he was a little nervous.
He wasn't quite sure why.
Maybe it's because of the sophomore opener, there is no reckless momentum that is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes in the rookie period, but it adds to the heavy pressure brought by the attention and expectations of the entire league; Maybe it's because of the debut of the Blue Castle Stadium, in the final analysis, this is still a place of pilgrimage in Lu Ke's heart, and the first visit of his career is still different.
Or, perhaps for some other reason, the new season still seems to be special after all.
But Lu Ke is indeed a little troubled by gains and losses, nervousness, and restlessness.
This is extremely unfamiliar, since he was a child, he has never felt the panic on the field, all the nervousness and apprehension are left before the game, after the game, those emotions are completely gone, full attention, no distractions. Today, however, he seems to be a bit of a scramble, looking like a spider in roller skates, like Ron's fantasy in "Harry Potter".
Lu Ke gave up his plan to start attacking immediately.
Originally, Lu Ke had already arranged his tactics and was ready to kick off, but now, Lu Ke stood up straight again, pretending to be reading the defensive formation, but in fact he was slowly exhaling his breath, such a moment would not be the first time, nor would it be the second time, what he needed was not fear and fear, but open his arms to express a warm welcome.
Nervousness, this is not a negative emotion, but a positive manifestation of a desire to win, a desire to fight, a desire to fight. All he needs to do is turn this tension into focus and motivation. Like any previous game.
"Welcome to the 2012 season."
Lu Ke lowered his voice and whispered to himself, then cheered up and began to read the defense, starting from the beginning.
The Green Bay Packers are a typical team that is strong in offense and weak in defense.
The offensive team is star-studded and glittering, with Randall Cobb, Jordy-Nelson, Josh Sitton, Jeff-Saturday, Greg-Jennings, Ryan-Grant and many more, all of whom are Pro Bowl-caliber players. And, of course, Aaron Rogers.
But the defensive group is pale.
On top of the defensive front, the most notable is the pinnacle B-J-Raji, who joined the packers with the ninth pick in the first round in 2009 and was selected for the Pro Bowl last year, and one of his most prominent stunts is intercepting quarterback passes, which act like a block and surprise opposing quarterbacks.
On top of the linebacks, they have the team's brightest star, Clay-Matthes-III., who joined the Packers with the 26th pick in the first round in 2009 and has been selected to the Pro Bowl for three consecutive seasons, and has become one of the top outside linebacks in the entire league, mastering and doing everything to kill, intercept, press, and intercept.
Incidentally, Matthews is another traditional football family in the NFL, originally from Los Angeles. His grandfather, his father, his uncle, his own brother, and his three cousins were all football players, and they weren't the unknown, at least they were all famous in the NCAA.
Among the corner-backs, Tramon-illiams, who was undrafted in 2006, is the absolute mainstay of the current team, and was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2010, but last year's stats have dropped across the board, and there has been a significant decline in dominance and coverage, and this year's form is also worrying.
In the safety lineup, Charles-oodson is the biggest star.
Historically, when people talk about the 1998 draft, all eyes are on the two quarterbacks of Payton Manning and Ryan Leaf, but few people mention Charles Woodson, the fourth pick in the first round that year, the cornerback turned safety guard who won the 1997 Heisman Award, beating out Big Manning and Leaf.
As a classmate of Big Manning, Woodson wrote his miracle with the Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers, having been selected to the Pro Bowl eight times, four consecutive years since 2008, four All-American First Team, four All-American Second Team, 1998 Defensive Rookie of the Year, 2009 Defensive Player of the Year, and two-time Interception King of the Year in 2009 and 2011.
As a cornerback and safety guard, Woodson has had a brilliant career.
If Matthews is the representative of the new generation of rising stars, then Woodson is the veteran representative of the old and strong, and these two star players, together with a group of down-to-earth blue-collar players, connect the entire defensive group of the Green Bay Packers, but unfortunately, rugby is a collective sport, and it is really difficult to rely on only two top players to carry the whole team forward.
Over the years, the defensive group has been a weakness for the Green Bay Packers.
In the 2010 championship season, they had a season of success, finishing second in the league's defensive group, behind only the Pittsburgh Steelers; But last year, it plummeted, slipping to 19 in an instant, and the main reason appeared in the second-line pass defense, and the cornerback and lineback's defense only relied on Woodson alone, which was difficult to support alone.
In this game, the second-line defense of the Green Bay Packers faced the San Francisco 49ers, who contributed the league's top passing offense last season, and they were also under a lot of pressure.
In the process of re-reading the defense, Lu Ke's attention gradually focused.
The Packers' defensive group is a typical "3-4" formation, with three defensive forwards and four linebacks, with one spike paired with two defensive ends, and two interior guards paired with two outside defenders.
On the whole, the middle area of the packer is used to defend the running ball, and the effect is really good, and the anti-running data of the past two seasons can be in the upper class; The flanks are used for raiding, and they are the flanks where the typical offensive attributes are stronger than the defensive attributes, and the more troops are invested in the pressure and squeezing of the quarterbacks, which relatively weakens the defense of the short passing area.
As soon as the offensive front line can hold off the first wave of onslaught, or the quarterback can use his feet to get rid of the sack, the Packers' defense is immediately passive.
Of course, this is all a theoretical analysis, and the offensive and defensive battles of each team are similar over and over again. In the final analysis, it is still up to the players to decide the outcome of the game based on their on-the-spot state and tactical arrangement.
Lu Ke's eyes glanced lightly, and caught Clay Matthews on his left, nicknamed "White Devil" because he is white, and because he is the devil, if someone thinks that his style of play is not tough enough because of his long hair, then he will use one grappling after another to make the other party understand what hell is.
Matthews was about to move, his feet like a motor, constantly kicking the ground hard, his sharp gaze projected through his helmet, unleashing a bloodthirsty ferocity, showing his unwavering determination to take down the quarterback.
So, should he rise to the challenge? Or should we avoid it?
Slowly, Lu Ke bent down, shifted his gaze, looked to the other side, seemed to be looking for a breakthrough on the right side, gave up the intention of passing the ball on the left, and then, the voice bloomed on the tip of his tongue like spring thunder, "Attack!" "Everything just became natural and fluid.
With a football ball in hand and standing in a pistol formation, Lu Ke took a step back and formed a cross run with Marcus Lynch on the right hand.
Then you can see Lu Ke taking two steps back again, his eyes are always aimed at the direction of the right, looking for a passing target.
At the same time, Matthews galloped out like a wild horse, and a hand push pushed away Joe Stanley, who was guarding the perimeter of the blind side, but Matthews obviously underestimated Stanley's strength and strength, and was unable to push away at the first time, and then saw Stanley pestering and sticking up.
Matthews stopped and turned, trying to get out of Stanley's blockade.
But this little pause time is enough for Lu Ke.
Without warning, Lu Ke turned around, faced to the left, adjusted the direction of his body in two small steps, and passed the rugby ball with a knife in his hand, not passing the ball with all his strength, but using his wrist to throw a small arc, over the top of Matthews's head, and completing the pass through delicate hand control.
But the moment he made a move, Lu Ke gritted his teeth.
His arms and fingers were still too tight, the whole pass was not soft and smooth enough, there was a huge deviation in control, and the tension that he thought was gone was still precipitated in the bottom of his heart. "Damn it." Lu Ke couldn't help but curse.
The rugby ball glides lightly across the sky, still a standard shuttle ball, but spinning half a beat slower, and Michael Crabtree on the left is sprinting in a straight line at a rapid pace.
Looking back suddenly, he found that the passing line was shorter than expected, and Crabtree didn't have time to feel confused, and his first reaction was to brake urgently, shake off the cornerback who followed him, adjust his footsteps and cut to the inside, like a hot butter knife.
Sting.
He cut into the butter, put his hands forward, and took the rugby in his arms. Catch successful!
But because of the temporary reversal, Crabtree lost his positional advantage, and Matthews gave up the quarterback at the first time, turned around and rushed over to make up for the defense, hugged Crabtree's waist tightly, and slammed down hard in a pile position like a wrestler.
The catch is successful. However, the grappling was also successful.
It was a short six-yard pass towards the right.
