Sixty-nine seconds, the last wave of offensive opportunities.

For quarterbacks, it's not just about passing, it's about time control, and it's even more difficult to combine tactics.

In the attack, many receivers, after successfully completing the catch, tend to be too greedy and want to keep pushing forward with the ball. However, even without the blocking of defenders, players cannot run as fast as a rugby ball; In other words, the quarterback can complete the next offensive pass during the time the player advances with the ball, and the efficiency is far from improving.

Therefore, the greed of the receiver is fatal for time control.

In the same case, the defensive strategy of the defenders will change. If the defense is out of position and the opponent finishes the catch, then they will choose to hold the receiver and force the receiver to not go out of bounds, not stop the table, and let the time continue to slip away. Consume two or three seconds at a time, and the game time will run out quickly.

Now, Lu Ke has repeatedly emphasized that don't be greedy, you must go out of bounds.

After explaining, Lu Ke noticed the burning gaze, raised his head to look over, and then saw Vernon Davis.

Vernon seemed to want to say something, his expression was obscure; But after muttering twice, he still didn't say anything. Looked away and listened intently.

Lu Ke didn't retract his gaze, starting from Vernon, his gaze looked around for a week, and it fell on every player. For this race, sixty-nine seconds, it was the last chance to win; And for Lu Ke, sixty-nine seconds is his last chance to fight for the starting quarterback position.

Sixty-nine seconds, that is, one minute and six seconds, in real life, even a glass of water is more than that; But on the sports field, this is enough to turn the sea upside down!

The blood gradually began to boil.

"Still have questions?" Lu Ke's firm and hot eyes showed a strong momentum of decisiveness, the desire and determination to win, which made people chill, "Then, let's take a few touchdowns." ”

Touchdowns, not singular, but plural. The confidence and strength in the understatement detonated the adrenaline in an instant!

Then, everyone began to gear up and be eager to try, smiling and watching Lu Ke be the first to stretch out his right hand, everyone's right hand overlapped one after another, and the offensive strikers standing behind also converged, Lu Ke shouted, "The game begins!" "Everyone's arms were raised high into the sky, and the sword pointed to the touchdown!

On the pitch, the punt kick began.

However, the San Francisco 49ers did not choose to return the attack, and the moment the return attacker received the football, he directly chose to receive the ball safely. Because the return attack is too difficult, and the return attack consumes too much time, the most important thing that the 49ers can't afford now is time-

The Dallas Cowboys' punt kick just now was high and floating, and it took three seconds to eat, so there were sixty-six seconds left in the game; Attack the starting position, 30 yards for your side.

Chris Wilson only felt like he was about to vomit, nervous and excited, his whole stomach began to churn, and even his stiff muscles began to spasm.

Today's game is really exciting, the ups and downs of the plot, like a free-fall machine, up and down, up and down, round after round, the heart is almost overloaded and strikes to rest. After the thrilling and panicked emotions reached their peak, the urge to flee became more and more surging.

But, Chris didn't turn away. Win or lose, he knew he had to see the outcome with his own eyes.

On the one hand, he told himself not to get too much hope, the team's quarterback has been playing well and badly, with ups and downs, and after all, he is still a rookie, and in the face of 66 seconds of offensive time, it is too harsh to hope that such a year-old will carry the team to complete the comeback.

But on the other hand, the anticipation can't help but start to rise. What if they complete a touchdown? What if they turn the game around? What if they beat the cowboys? If...... What about a miracle?

Contradictory and intricate thoughts are like a roller coaster, and three centuries have passed in just three seconds.

"Come on! Brat! Come on! Chris clenched his fists and clenched them tightly, and after the muscles of his body tensed to the extreme, the voice was stuck in his throat, and only a blurred mass of syllables was left to grunt, and no one could understand it but himself—

Of course, no one is listening.

The audience, restless and depressed, without the sound of cheers and shouts, but not absolutely quiet; The roar tried to break free from the throat and make noise, but the tense muscles suppressed all the excitement, so that the upper and lower parts got stuck in place, leaving only an indiscernible noise, like the roar of the engine of a jet flying low at high altitude.

Today's game is a matter of life and death!

Sixty-six seconds, 30 yards of your own line.

After coming on the field, Lu Ke was unhurried and methodical, without the slightest nervousness or anxiety, and didn't seem to notice that there was little time left in the game, and he didn't seem to notice that the team was still behind in the score, which was just a normal attack.

Arrange tactics, lay out formations, and observe defenses. The whole process, Lu Ke meticulously followed the steps, the more dull the noise of the scene, the more tense the atmosphere of the scene, the calmer the thoughts of the brain, and even unprecedentedly clear.

At this moment, all eyes of the world are focused, not only the fans, not only the commentators, but even all the players of the Dallas Cowboys, and countless scorching eyes have fallen on Lu Ke alone. Can this rookie quarterback turn things around?

In the 49-man offensive group, Lu Ke emptied the backcourt.

The so-called emptying the backcourt is actually a shotgun formation, and then to the extreme, there are no players behind Lu Ke, and the running guard either stands on the side of the quarterback, standing parallel; Either stand diagonally in front of you as a catcher or a guard. It's an extreme passing formation.

Five offensive forwards, lined up, Michael Crabtree on the left, Kyle Williams, Ted Jean and Logan Newman on the right, the three of them are in a zigzag position, Logan is at the tip; Marcus Lynch stood on the right front of Lu Ke, only two positions behind Ted.

Throughout the right side, four potential receivers were hoarded, heavily tilted.

The opposite Cowboys defensive group, pressed forward across the board, gave up the running ball defense, and the seven players on the first line, all listed, but on their left side, corresponding to the 49-man one-wing formation, they also divided two linebacks to strengthen the defense, and five yards behind them, there was a cornerback.

Another cornerback, Orlando Scandrick, stood one-on-one in front of Michael Crabtree, defending one-on-one.

In the backfield, two security guards stand in the left and right halves respectively, one in front of the other and one behind, and the position of one player is obviously pressed, which also means that the other player defends the second half.

The entire defensive formation is extremely clear, Lu Ke can vaguely predict the next trend of the players, lure/confuse, the entire long pass area is like a bright strawberry, luring/luring the quarterback to complete the pass. So, should he opt for long passing? Should he choose the right side? Should he opt for a close end?

The problem was that the game was only 66 seconds, and even if there was space in the long passing area, he couldn't take any chances.

The reason is simple. First, long passes take longer to prepare, short passes may only take one or two seconds, while long passes take three or four seconds, which is too long when you add the flight time and receiving time of rugby.

Second, there is more uncertainty in long passing. The quarterback's long passing route is basically based on the middle area, and once the pass goes to the boundary, it is likely to directly lead to going out of bounds, losing time, and not completing the pass; At the same time, if the pass is in the center, the receiver will not be able to go out of bounds immediately after receiving the rugby, which is not conducive to controlling the time.

Of course, once the long pass is successful, it is a fatal blow. However, the risk is too great.

The Dallas Cowboys face such an important defense that the backcourt is definitely not to take lightly; To be more precise, it is impossible for the entire defense of the Cowboys to relax their vigilance, and Lu Ke has not forgotten the restraint and suppression in the first half. Whether it's for the Cowboys or for the 49ers, the slightest mistake can kill this game!

So, how should the pass be chosen?

"Attack!"

Immediately decided, Lu Ke started the attack, and after catching the rugby, he stepped back and quickly retreated.

Lu Ke didn't glance at the right side at all, and gathered the right side of the four receiving players; Just adjusted his position, without thinking or pausing, he raised his hand and passed the ball to the left. Almost at the same time as the kick-off, the passing adjustment was already completed in the process of stepping back.

The defensive front line didn't have time to raid at all, and it was too late to cover, so he could only reflexively follow the movement route of the offensive players and carry out the movement of close defense, but he caught a glimpse of Lu Ke's passing action in the corner of his eye, and at this time, it was almost impossible to try to adjust the center of gravity and complete the supplementary defense.

So, one-on-one, "Michael Crabtree vs Orlando Scandrick".

At the same time as the tee shot, Crabtree started quickly, buried his head forward, and ran a diagonal line towards the touchline, increasing his speed to the extreme.

Scandrick ran quickly, sticking to Crabtree while constantly looking back, observing the quarterback's passing route and passing movements—

The peripheral eye caught the quarterback's movements, and the football flew in its direction, a bullet pass, with a very flat arc and hardly any parabola, aiming for a position near the touchline.

Scandrick's concentration was so high that he was close to Crabtree but was still a little slower by half a beat, and he reached out and tried to disrupt the pass, but the next second, he noticed that something was wrong.

Pass...... It seemed to be off track, not towards Crabtree's chest, but slightly higher and farther away, leaping over Crabtree's shoulder like an arrow!

Could it be that this is an unfinished pass? Lu Ke's pass was wrong?
