480 Determined to win
"Attack!"
First the dazzling kick-off slogan, and then the hand-to-hand passing action, one slow and one fast, one loose and one tight, these two completely different offensive rhythms completely disrupted the defensive rhythm of the Cardinals.
After kick-off, Lu Ke just adjusted his two steps, and he had already raised his hand to make a pass, which was only a little over a second, and the defensive front line and the offensive front line had just hit each other, not to mention launching a surprise attack, and it was too late to even tear up the pocket, but they still persistently pressed forward, and began to tilt their center of gravity towards their right hand side-
It doesn't matter if you finish the catch, the focus is on the tackle after the catch.
So, who is Lu Ke's passing target? And how should the Cardinals complete their defense?
On the left, Michael Crabtree and Ted Jean are still old partners.
After kick-off, two men ran the route of a short pass area at the same time:
Crabtree approached the outside, a simple and almost boring out-skimming course, pushing forward five yards before running towards the left sideline; Jean approached the inside, sprinted five yards forward, made a 90-degree turn to the right, pulled sideways toward the middle hinterland, but only took two steps, then braked suddenly, took a detour, and then moved quickly to the left diagonally.
The clean running route easily undermined the tactical intent of the zone defense, and the opposing corner backs had to immediately step forward to defend the large outside Crabtree Tree, while the rear guards had to start moving quickly to try to make up for the defense; The lineback, who was originally preparing to raid, must now change his route and defend Jean, otherwise he will be in front of him.
The scary thing is that Crabtree is stuck in the defense, but has the advantage of position; Jean, on the other hand, ripped through an open space with at least five yards of space to catch the ball.
Lu Ke passes the ball to the left side, and anyone can easily complete the pass; But at this moment, Lu Ke's full arm braked suddenly, stopped the passing action, turned around on the right side, glanced at it quickly, pulled the bow, and passed the rugby ball with a knife in his hand.
Damn it!
Almost every player in the Cardinals' defensive team couldn't help but start swearing, their center of gravity had shifted, and Jean and Crabtree had already torn out the gaps, but Lu Ke didn't pass the ball? What does that mean? This is actually a feint, and it shook everyone? What the hell does this mean?
But during the game, everything happened so quickly that the Cardinals' defensive players didn't have time to think about what that meant, and before even the shame could grow, their bodies had already reacted, and they reflexively started to make up for the defense to the other side, looking like marionettes, embarrassed.
On the other side of the side ready to complete the catch is Logan Newman!
Newman Newman, it's Logan Newman again! Lu Ke's number one pass target, and also the number one receiver of the San Francisco 49ers! But, what's going on here?
……
After kick-off, Logan Newman and Kyle Williams on the right both ran out of the short pass route, and Williams sprinted forward towards the combination of short and middle passes; Logan, on the other hand, was a simple straight sprint, and after five yards, he turned 180 degrees and began to step back, adjusting his pace while preparing to catch the ball.
Because the running routes of both players were too simple, the zone defenders did not stick up immediately, but quickly stepped back, trying to catch the pass and then quickly make up the defense.
But at this moment when the eyes were staggered, Lu Ke raised his hand and passed the ball in the direction of Jean and Crabtree on the other side, so the regional defender began to move his center of gravity, did not pounce, but quickly retreated towards his right side, and completed the defense at any time when his teammates missed the grappling.
Half a second, half a second, half a second.
No, each pause and transition was less than half a second, but in a shorter time, Lu Ke's movements changed three times, and then before the defenders had time to adjust their movements, Lu Ke passed the rugby ball to Logan.
This is a bullet pass, with the momentum of breaking through the air, just less than six yards, seven yards away, instantly came to Logan's chest, the position is just right, the receiving action is extremely stretched, both hands firmly control the rugby, and then Logan can start a second time and start to continue to advance.
With a turn, Logan saw outside lineback Clark-Haggans behind him trying to make up for it, and cornerback A-J. Jefferson who gave up Williams to lunge at him.
Because the action at the moment of receiving the ball was extremely easy to stretch, Logan completed the adjustment in an instant, the center of gravity and strength were natural, a heavy shoulder, a light turn of footsteps, and then Jefferson, who flew over, missed the tackle, grabbed Logan's waist with both hands, but there was no way to exert force, as if Logan's waist was buttered, and the centrifugal gravity of the rotation made Jefferson fly out.
Logan didn't need any extra movement at all, his feet glared, and before Hagens was in place, he had already begun to let go of his feet and run, and he was stunned to let the latter pounce.
If Lu Ke had just passed the ball to Crabtree or Jean, they could have received the ball, but the space to advance was very limited, and the defenders around him were already in place; But now, Lu Ke's feints have shifted the center of gravity and position of all the defensive players to the other side, so Logan has left a large gap in front of his eyes, and he can soar freely.
“…… It's Logan Newman! God, this was definitely an unexpected passing tactic! Shake off one grapple, two grapples, and Newman started to kick off in earnest, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five...... Roar, Newman ran towards the sideline, and under the cover of Williams, he quickly advanced along the sideline! God, God! Newman's run was completely unstoppable! ”
"Adrian Wilson has done a great job! The Cardinals' No. 24 guard finally completed the stop-up and pushed Newman out of the touchline from 48 yards, which was an important defense at the crucial moment! God, who would have thought that the 49ers' first offense would make the Cardinals' defensive group so embarrassed! ”
Not to mention the players in the defensive group, even the two commentators who were condescending and out of the way were not able to see through Lu Ke's tactical arrangement, so the surprise came.
After looking back, Kirk understood Lu Ke's tactical intentions, "First of all, Lu Ke recognized the opponent's raid tactics, so he chose the tactics of delaying the kick-off and making a quick shot, if the opponent really broke through the pocket of the offensive front line at the first time, then Lu Ke would pass the rugby to Crabtree or Jean as soon as possible to avoid tackling, which was also a successful tactical arrangement." ”
Kirk quickly circled to the left of the San Francisco 49ers, "Taking full advantage of Crabtree's alignment advantage and Jean's lane running advantage, he further took advantage of the gap in the gap where the opponent sent a large number of troops into the surprise attack, and easily gained the upper hand." ”
Then, after noticing that his opponent was not able to complete the raid, Lu Ke made an instant decision, shifted the passing route to the empty part on the right, and once again took advantage of Logan Newman's alignment to successfully complete a strong push in large yards. Pretty, so beautiful! Smart, light, intelligent, and decisive, the familiar 49-man offensive team is back again! ”
In Kirk's exclamation, Teddy joined the discussion, "To sum up, Lu Ke's defensive reading saw through the opponent's tactical intentions, and completed the deployment first, so he easily completed the twenty-eight yard advance under the dislocation of one in and one out, is that right?" ”
"Yes, that's it!" Kirk nodded in agreement, but before he could continue to speak, his attention was once again focused on the court, because the San Francisco 49ers chose to kick off quickly this time, did not give the opposing defense too much breathing space, and began to increase the pace of the offense.
In a ten-yard gear, Lu Ke found Crabtree with a quick short pass and completed a six-yard advance.
In second gear and four yards, Lu Ke ran with a fake fax, and the football came to the hands of Marcus Lynch, Lynch found a gap, but the opponent was highly focused, did not wander, and did not miss the tackle, only three yards advanced, Lynch was forced to fall to the ground.
Three gears and one yard, Lu Ke made a fake run and real pass, found Crabtree with a knife in his hand, pressed Richard Marshall with a positional advantage, completed a three-yard catch, and then went out of bounds to complete the three-gear conversion.
It seems that there is no time to breathe, and it seems that there is no real confrontation, in the blink of an eye, the San Francisco 49ers have come to the 40-yard line of the opponent's half, and the speed and efficiency of the promotion are really eye-catching-
The offensive team that amazed the entire league is back! The momentum of the whole attack was like a tiger descending from a mountain, and the unity of the people showed a posture of ambition to win. It's worth mentioning that every pass and run has been successful so far, with a 100 per cent success rate that completely elevates the pace and momentum of the attack to a whole new level.
After coming on the court, the Cardinals' defensive team was a little unable to come to their senses, and in the end, they relied on the flash of individual strength again, and the outside guard Schofield and the defensive end Campbell successively shot a pass, curbed a running ball and pushed the opponent into a three-gear long yardage situation.
The average strength of the entire defensive group was a little unable to keep up with the pace, and it seemed that it could not ease this breath, but the outstanding strength of the individual top soldiers still succeeded in stopping the bleeding, and in an instant, the 49ers fell into a three-gear dilemma again, facing the three-gear six-yard advancement task.
The atmosphere on the pitch gradually tensed, because they all knew that the score was important, but more important than the score -
After the opening, the Cardinals' offensive group managed to score a touchdown, and the 49ers' offensive group was also strong; Furthermore, the 49-man offensive group also completely beat the opponent's defensive group and gained the upper hand in terms of momentum, which is a competition for points and a contest of momentum! A head-to-head battle with no way out.
