176 Lore Kick

In rugby, a touchdown was scored, six points were scored, and after that, there was an extra chance to score an extra point. There are two types of additional points: one point, or two points.

The so-called two-point additional score is also known as two-point conversion. The offensive team will tee off the ball two yards before the end zone, and then play the pass or run again, and as long as they enter the end zone again, then they will get two bonus points.

In fact, this is equivalent to the team standing on the two-yard line to complete another touchdown outside of the touchdown, and there is only one chance to attack. Two points, a higher score, a higher level of difficulty, and a greater risk. Teams tend to only choose when tactically necessary.

The so-called one-point bonus point is much simpler. The same is the first two yards of the end area, twenty yards from the goal, as long as the kick is scored, then the score.

For a kicker, a 20-yard kick is the equivalent of a penalty kick in a soccer match. The difference is that when a penalty is taken, the player faces the goalkeeper one-on-one; In the case of additional points, it is the same as free kicks and abandonments, and the two sides can dismantle and intercept each other.

Overall, the percentage of one-point bonus points is still relatively high, and the overall data of the league last year was 99.3%, which is much higher than the penalty shooting rate. Most teams tend to choose one point over two when choosing a play-off.

However, no matter how high the mission success rate is, there is still a 0.7% error rate, and the more tense the moment, the more critical the moment, the more likely the accident will happen.

Now is the time to win!

The score on the court, "20:20", the San Francisco 49ers qualified for the extra points, and all eyes of the court fell on the shoulders of kicker David Akens.

This is a veteran, a veteran veteran, who participated in the draft in 1997 and was ultimately defeated; Through a series of tryouts, he spent time with the Atlanta Falcon and the Carolina Panthers as a member of the sparring team; It was only the following year that he officially entered the league and joined the Washington Redskins; After being laid off the following year, he spent most of his time in the European Indoor Football League before returning to the league in late 1999 to join the Philadelphia Eagles, where he spent the prime of his career.

Although he is a rookie, the position of the kicker is relatively special, and there are few teams that specifically choose the kicker above the draft. David's strength has been shown in the Hawks, in his 12-year professional career, David has been selected for the Pro Bowl four times, including in 2010, once on the first team of the United States, four times of the second team of the United States, handed over a brilliant answer, and is still at the peak of his career.

This offseason, David left the Philadelphia Hawks and moved to the San Francisco 49ers, where he became a kicker at Candlestick Field.

In the preseason, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team was a disaster, but David always maintained a consistent performance, he was responsible for the play-off points and free kicks, including a 59-yard free kick, which was a shocking four -

In rugby, a free kick of more than 45 yards is a long distance, and the risk and difficulty are very high; Fifty yards or more is the right time and place, and it takes a little luck.

David Arkens, still young; Twenty yards of extra points, even more hand-to-hand.

With nine seconds left in the game, the special service players of both sides finished their formation, and David stood in front of the end zone, quietly waiting for the kicking moment.

The Candlestick Stadium was extremely noisy, and the 49ers fans all quieted down and closed their mouths tightly, lest the slightest noise of their own might disrupt David's rhythm of play; The cowboy fans did everything they could to make noise, roaring, screaming, roaring, abusive, foul-mouthed, and doing everything they could to try to drag the game into overtime.

"Beep!"

The whistle blows, the tee shot, the start. The special service teams of the two sides collided fiercely together, David ran unhurriedly, and then watched the center kick off, the ball supporter received the ball, raised his right leg high, got up, made force, and hit. The whole process was done without the slightest hesitation, let alone the slightest panic.

Then I saw the rugby ball draw a parabola high and squarely into the goal! Hit accurately!

However, the cheers of the Candlestick Stadium had just sounded, and the referees in the middle of the stadium kept blowing their whistles, and then made gestures with both hands, "It doesn't count". The meaning was simple, straightforward, and the cheers suddenly turned into sighs.

Chris Wilson wailed and hugged his head, sat down heavily, and expressed his disappointment with every movement of his body, and after the tension was extreme, his knees began to weaken, and he couldn't even stand.

"The Dallas Cowboys asked for a timeout! Cowboys head coach Jason-Garett has called a timeout! Kirk Charleston was also on a rollercoaster ride at this point, his heart high in the chest hard, "The Cowboys are going all out as they try to disrupt the rhythm of 49ers kicker David Akkens and drag the game into overtime. ”

It's not a foul, it's a timeout.

When kicking the key extra, if there is a temporary timeout when the opponent's kicker is running, then the kicker's extras will not be counted this time, and the kicker must be kicked again. With such a high level of pressure and tension, it can often work wonders, disrupting the kicker's rhythm and disrupting the kicker's mind, which is a common trick in the league.

According to the normal process, after the 49ers scored additional points, it was the Cowboys' turn to tee, and after the kick-off, the Cowboys' offensive team could also go on the court, and then attack, using the timeout in their hands, they could also play tricks in a limited time, at least, they could try a deadly long pass; But the problem is that now there are only nine seconds left in the game, one kick-off, one attack, there is no time at all, and the hope is too slim.

So, the head coach of the Cowboys chose to waste the timeout in his hand, hoping that the kicker's mind would be flawed and lead to a mistake.

Sitting in the audience, Chris crossed his hands tightly and prayed reverently, his mouth chanting, "God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha...... Whoever it is, be sure to hear my prayers. Please, please, please! Gotta kick in, gotta kick go! Oh my God, please kick in! ”

In the middle of the pitch, players from both sides were lined up again for a second play-off. Chris only felt that he was about to suffocate with nervousness, and even a little afraid to look directly, but he was reluctant, forcing himself to widen his eyes and watch every move on the court, and then the whole world seemed to become slow motion, every move was so slow, so clear, full of grace of power.

Kick off, hold the ball, kick the ball, fly, hit.

"Whoosh", crisp and neat, without the slightest deviation, without the slightest tension, without the slightest suspense, accurately hit an additional point. Battle-hardened, experienced, calm and sophisticated, David Akons withstood the test and completed the deadly lore!

"Ahh Chris jumped again, his mouth wide open, his eyes wide open, his arms outstretched, just screaming, and screaming, "Ahhhh Then he ran around the seat, and the narrow space was not able to stop him at all, embraced everyone around him enthusiastically, and finally jumped on the chair, raised his hands high, screamed, and screamed, "Ahhhh ”

The heart suddenly exploded, as if it had the whole world!

"Lore! The San Francisco 49ers completed the lore! Troy Power's hoarse shout was transmitted through the airwaves, "With six seconds left in the game, the Dallas Cowboys don't have time to complete the counterattack!" This means that the San Francisco 49ers completed an incredible stunner and won the game! ”

Troy jumped up and down excitedly, constantly screaming, "After a clean sheet in the first half and ups and downs in the fourth quarter, the young players of the San Francisco 49ers, under the leadership of rookie quarterback Lu Ke, overcame difficulties and achieved a shocking comeback!" We've seen 'that pass' come back to life, we've seen David Akkens kill the killer, and we've seen the first fourth-quarter comeback of the year's quarterback career! ”

"Crazy, the whole Candlestick Stadium is in a frenzy! They beat their league rivals, they replicated the scene of 1981, and they proved once again that the regular season Candlestick Court is still a difficult fortress for the Dallas Cowboys! Crazy, it's crazy! After this battle, the rookie Chinese quarterback once again withstood the test, once again completed self-certification and self-redemption, and unbelievably reaped the victory of the game! Oh, God! Oh, God! Wonderful, really wonderful! ”

Troy's passionate commentary aroused all the cheers of the entire San Francisco area, and even the entire Bay Area areaβ€”

Someone pressed the horn of the car and responded one after another, like fireworks, to celebrate the team's victory; Someone rushed out of the convenience store at the gas station and ran around in the open space like a madman, cheering endlessly; Someone smashed beer glasses in the bar, roared and shouted wantonly, thumping their chests and celebrating the victory.

In this moment, they carnival and enjoy themselves to the fullest. Step on the body of your mortal enemy and win the second week of the regular season!

The commentators have gone mad, the fans have gone mad, but the players in the stadium still can't lose their minds. With six seconds left in the game, they still have to kick off and play again until the game runs out.

The San Francisco 49ers' tee shot was high and far and landed in the end zone, and after the Dallas Cowboys' return attacker caught the rugby, he did not choose to receive the ball safely, but held the rugby and began to rush back, looking forward to breaking through the thorns, getting the return touchdown, changing the score again, and reversing the game again.

However, the San Francisco 49ers special service team was not carried away by the victory, and promptly pushed the return attacker to the ground, above the 12-yard line of the Cowboys, and then, the game time officially ended, and the referee blew the whistle to stop the game, announcing the San Francisco 49ers' winning streak!

"Ahhh At this time, the players of the San Francisco 49ers began to cheer, Lu Ke raised his hands high, raised his arms and shouted, but before he had time to celebrate, all the players swarmed over and shouted frantically, "Bambi! Bambi! Bambi! ”
