1701 is one step ahead
Selek's attention was completely concentrated, conscientiously completing his route running tasks, even if he was just a pawn as a cover, he was also a link in the tactical system, obeying Lu Ke's every word, and was engrossed in executing every tactical mission.
Rush forward at full speed, then look for opportunities to make a sharp stop, shake off opposing defenders, and draw the attention of other defenders with a fake line pull.
This is the task of Salek, he quickly used his peripheral vision to observe the position of players such as Chancellor, Malcolm and Maxwell, found an accurate moment to brake urgently, and quickly turned and ran back to shake off the chasing Maxwell, and then saw the rugby ball teleported, and the direction and line were aimed at himself, which startled Salek and couldn't help but hold his breath.
It was the first time that Salek had been a pass target in the game. The return of Vernon and Jean has regrouped the team's receiving team, and Salek, who is a substitute near end, has played less time; Even when they are on the field, the number of passes they target has dropped significantly; But Salek is not discouraged, and he has never forgotten that he needs to stay focused and give his all to earn a place.
Salek didn't expect to be a passing target at all, but his body's play instinct was still one step ahead of his brain, and he swooped towards the rugby ball with one step and one step up.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Salek's running position was obviously not in place, and Lu Ke's hurried pass was also a little shorter, which made Salek notice that the rugby was falling faster than expected, and he couldn't catch up at all, and before his steps were in place, the rugby was about to land.
Without hesitation and hesitation, the body's first reaction was that the whole person jumped and pounced, as if this was a baseball game rather than a rugby game, and there was only the "baseball" in sight, rushing over in the way of a fish leaping from the bottom of the sea fishing for the moon, and it was too late to stretch out all his hands forward, so he could only use his right hand to insert it horizontally into the gap between the ball and the ground, and then with the help of the power of the body's counterclockwise flip, his right hand was raised and rushed up——
Scoop it up!
Salek wasn't sure if he would be able to catch it, he wasn't confident, but he didn't flinch, wrapping his palms around the oval surface of the rugby ball, his fingertips gathered like eight fish, and all his strength was put into his fingertips; But now there is no time to continue to hesitate, the body continues to rotate with the counterclockwise force, and the right hand is contracted towards the chest, but the whole movement has not had time to be completed, and the right shoulder can already feel the powerful impact force is coming, and the pull of gravity "pulls" the dark green ground fiercely!
He crashed into it unsuspectingly, and the world spun around.
"Wow! Wow! Wow! ”
"Wonderful! Garrett Salek made a brilliant one-handed catch when he lost control of his body and did it before the rugby ball hit the ground, which was unbelievable! Such a difficult catch made Maxwell, who was defending in the opposite position, have no chance at all! ”
The unsung near end of the bench didn't get his chance to play until Vernon Davis missed the game with a concussion, but he became the secret weapon of the San Francisco 49ers with his solid and accurate runs, and he performed very well! Now standing on the stage of the National League final, Salek completed a wonderful one-handed catch for the team and successfully got the first attack! Keep the offense going! ”
"Three gears and ten yards, the San Francisco 49ers have once again found life in the gaps, and now the confrontation is getting more and more exciting!"
Salek stood up, his chest heaving violently, excitement and joy surging up, he didn't know if he would succeed, but he did it after all, and if he did it again, it might have been something else - it was really too difficult to control the one-handed catch!
But instead of roaring or celebrating, Salek threw the football to the referee, quickly turned and ran to his teammates, and lined up again to attack:
They're aiming for a touchdown, not just a three-gear conversion. Sailk knew that Luke's offensive tempo could suddenly increase at any moment, and he couldn't get distracted, even if it was his first catch of the game - a small celebration with a hard fist, and that's all.
The Seattle Seahawks defense changed positions again.
Forcing the opposing offensive team into three long yards twice in a row, only to be torn apart by the opponent's pass in the middle of the third important defense twice in a row is really unsatisfactory for the Seattle Seahawks, who have relied on the Bombardment to do whatever they want this season, and they have to make adjustments.
It is said that it is a change of position, but in fact, it is just two cornerbacks Sherman and Maxwell who have opened up the distance from each other, and they are supposed to defend the two outside face-to-face, and the distance is only two yards; Now it's two yards bigger to eight yards or so, making the whole passing defense more mobile.
Is this just six yards back? Of course not!
When the cornerback pulls the defensive position away, it also means that the cornerback can break away from his defensive position at any time and give the defense more variety, such as swapping positions with the perimeter defender, such as taking the initiative to step up and cut into the pocket to launch a raid, such as cutting inside into the center to help defend the short pass.
In other words, the Seattle Seahawks defensive team is originally in the opposite position, and rarely takes the initiative to lose their position, which also makes their defensive formation relatively stable, and it is more difficult for the quarterback to find a breakthrough; But now through the change of cornerback position, this also makes it possible to change the defensive formation, lacking stability, but bringing aggression - Sherman's interception ability ranks first in the league, if the quarterback does not dare to pass in his direction, he can rush in the direction of the quarterback's pass, create interception opportunities, and even dare to step up to tackle the quarterback, and so on.
The most important thing is that the Seattle Seahawks have been responding to all changes with the same and down-to-earth to fight against their opponents; Now the Seattle Seahawks are deliberately releasing smoke bombs, leading to a potential myriad of changes with one change, making it more difficult for Lu Ke to judge the defensive reading, and the tactical choice is more complicated.
According to this formation, in fact, the simplest and most direct way to deal with it is to use ground propulsion, but this is only at the theoretical level; What's more, the Seattle Seahawks' defense has also made corresponding adjustments, while the two cornerbacks retreated, the safety guard Qian Seller also stepped up, and the position came to the rear of the lineback group one step away, obviously focusing on ground defense and short pass defense, increasing Lu Ke's tactical selection problem.
So, what should Lu Ke do?
Before kick-off, Lu Ke stood up straight and quickly commanded to change tactics, but the entire offensive group did not change his position, and after the kick-off, he knew that Lu Ke had made adjustments to the tactics of the offensive front-
The five offensive forwards are in very two groups, with center Jonathan Goodwin as the boundary, Goodwin and Rupatti and Stanley pushing the defensive forward to the right, and Anthony and Boone pushing the defensive forward to the left, with an avenue open in the center; And Lu Ke handed the rugby to Gower early, which was obviously a targeted ground attack.
Because the central portal was wide open, Wagner, Chancellor and others were all adjusting their steps in place, waiting for Goyle to appear, and then stepping up in time to defend, but they didn't expect that Goyle and Lu Ke played a cover for each other, Lu Ke ran out of the middle, and Gower rushed out from the gap on the right flank.
By the time Wagner, Wright, Chancellor and others realized that the football was not in Lu Ke's hands, Goyle had already broken through the tee line and rushed out of the gap between Anthony and Boone, and then rushed forward at full speed under the cover of Logan and Boulding.
The entire attacking group on the right flank is clearing the way for Goyle!
Although Sherman tried to step up to intercept, Wright, Chancellor, and Wagner all started a little late, and Sherman was also lonely, and was stuck in position by Logan, so that Sherman pulled his helmet and fouled, which shook off Logan; As a result, Wright was knocked out of position by Boulding again, and he was not able to form an encirclement at the first time, so that when Sherman and Chancellor teamed up, the position was already very, very deep.
Sherman and Chancellor were ready to team up to complete the closing defense, but because of the "obstruction" of Logan and Bolding, this won more space for Goyle to advance, and the two defensive giants had to continue to detour, otherwise they would not be able to complete the package at all, and finally completed the closing defense and had already crossed the first offensive transition line.
But Goyle was not afraid at all, at this time his speed had been completely increased, sideways, shoulders, bent knees, the entire center of gravity pressed down to increase the impact force, under the interception of two tall and strong defenders, Goyle tore a gap hard, rushed out like a drill, burst out of a force that was about to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, so that Sherman and Chanceller were a little embarrassed, the center of gravity in the rapid forward rush could not stand firm at all, and the grappling was not able to hold solidly.
If Sherman hadn't fouled again, pulled Goyle's helmet, made a wrestling move, and dragged Goyle to the ground, just afraid that Goyle would have made a breakthrough, then the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Despite this, Goyle managed to run out of 13 yards, easily crossed the first transition line, and ran out of the first attack, completely disappointing the Seattle Seahawks defense's change of formation, and after two consecutive three-yard struggles, he instead tore a path with ground offense.
It can be seen from the side that Lu Ke's tactical change is once again ahead of the opponent, even if the Seattle Seahawks defense is looking for a solution, but Lu Ke is always able to take half a step ahead, and it is this half a step that keeps the game out of the control of the home team.
