The entire Candlestick Stadium was already boiling, and the entire North American continent was already boiling, and the neutral spectators who sat in front of the TV to watch the game began to scream and shout wildly, and this battle of attacks had completely ignited all the adrenaline, and the wonderful passes and confrontations were round after round, and there was no stopping at all.

According to the NFL's official statistics, after the start of the second half of the game, the viewership showed an astonishing increase, easily setting a new high for the season, and even continuing to rise, with no end in sight, because every viewer knows that the game is far from over.

In the third quarter, the San Francisco 49ers scored a touchdown and a free kick, while the New Orleans Saints scored a touchdown.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the San Francisco 49ers once again faced the dilemma of a strikeout, and could not push into the free kick range, and it was obvious that the New Orleans Saints' defense also increased its intensity, and when it was carried away, it exploded with unimaginable energy.

The Saints' offensive team also stumbled and even faced a ball crisis, but once again narrowly escaped, so that Lu Ke strongly doubted whether his luck in the game was negative, and finally Bliss reluctantly advanced the free kick area, and the kicker completed a 41-yard free kick.

In the middle of the back and forth, the score on the court has come to "34:31".

Although the San Francisco 49ers still maintained a three-point advantage at home, the game had entered the fourth quarter, and the New Orleans Saints had significantly improved their form on both the offensive and defensive ends, and they really broke out with experience.

Theoretically, the San Francisco 49ers are a very young team, while the New Orleans Saints are a relatively aging team, and the 49ers should be able to gain the upper hand in terms of physical strength and energy; But the fact is that in this extremely competitive playoff game, the 49ers consumed too much in the first three quarters of the game, but they were a little out of pace at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

That's the experience gap.

How to rationalize the distribution of physical strength, how to reasonably adjust the state of the game, these experiences cannot be conveyed through words and videos, the only way is to experience it yourself. What's more, now that the 49ers are already facing a dilemma, they can only grit their teeth and hold on, with no other choice.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the first wave of offense, the 49ers were out with strikeouts; In the second wave of attack, the Saints scored from a free kick; In the third wave of attack, the 49ers appeared again.

Although, the game time is still sufficient; But standing on the court, Lu Ke can clearly feel that this wave of offense has an important control effect on the balance of morale of both sides, not only can not relax, but must also persevere to the end!

So, although he could clearly feel the shortness and burning of his breath now, and there seemed to be a raging fire in the veins of his body, which was burning all his physical strength sharply, he still gritted his teeth and did his best to encourage his teammates, and pushed forward one shift after another, no matter how difficult it was, he must not give up easily.

……

"Marcus Lynch! It's a run! Lu Ke's passing action deceived the entire defensive forward, but he had already handed the rugby to Marcus Lynch when he turned! This is an Oscar-level fake fax run! The Saints defense didn't expect it at all, and they completely missed Lynch's run! ”

"Lynch! Thirty-five yards! Thirty yards! Lynch is still pushing with the ball! Marcus Lynch! Twenty-five yards! Twenty yards! Finally stopped, Malcolm Jenkins and Roman Harper teamed up to stop Lynch! At the last critical moment, the second-line defense still bit the game, otherwise once it broke through, the direction of the game may not be known! ”

In the case of a running error in the first gear, Lu Ke unexpectedly covered with a passing tactic, handed the rugby to Marcus Lynch again, and chose to run for the second time in a row, but achieved amazing results, advancing a full eighteen yards, and smashing into the free kick area from the half-court position in one go! Pretty! ”

……

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Crabtree actually caught the ball and got rid of it! ”

"It was a fatal mistake, even more terrible than Pierre Thomas's drop in the first half, because it happened in the fourth quarter, in the face of a three-gear three-yard situation, Michael Crabtree had successfully completed the catch, but under the impact of cornerback Tracy Potter, the butter hand, directly led to the incomplete pass!"

"It could be a game-changing throw! For the first attack that was already in hand, 49 people could advance to the red zone and challenge for a touchdown; But now that the opportunity has been lost, the free-kick is the safest decision. ”

Standing on the court, Lu Ke gasped for air, ignoring the chagrined Crabtree who was fighting hard with head coach Jim Hubble and tactical director Brian Hampton.

"Trust me, coach, we can do it in four gears, we're on the 20-yard line, one pass, one touchdown can turn the game around! We need this touchdown! The Saints are gaining momentum right now...... I know, Brian, I know! I'm not an idiot, I know what it means to be in four gears and three yards this time! I did! I know! ”

"But...... But! The argument coming from the headset was really too intense, and Lu Ke's words were interrupted several times, "We can do it!" We're getting up right now, and we're holding back our ......"

But there was no chance to say the rest of the words, and the offensive team was now holding their breath, and if they used this breath, they could gamble with momentum, complete the conversion of four gears and three yards, and continue to challenge for touchdowns. This has an important impact on the momentum of both teams.

Four gears and three yards. Lu Ke believes in his teammates, even Crabtree who has just buttered hands.

It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to finish.

"Free kick! We choose a free kick! Hubble's voice came from the headset, and seeing that the offensive group on the court still didn't move, his voice became stern, "Lu Ke, we don't have time!" The Secret Service must play! Damn it! You don't want us to waste another pause! End! Immediately! Kick! ”

Lu Ke let out a long breath, raised his head to meet the eyes of his teammates in the offensive group, and finally calmed down, without complaining or getting angry, those disputes were left to himself, and he didn't need to face the emotions of his teammates.

"Free kick!" Lu Ke raised his voice and said.

"Hell!" Logan was the first to curse, scolding and expressing his dissatisfaction, but this time, Lu Ke stepped forward and took on the responsibility of being the captain of the offensive team, "Logan, I said, get off the court now and hand over the court to David!" ”

Logan closed his mouth in indignation, and the rest of his offensive teammates hung their heads and quickly left the court. Crabtree cursed himself and walked off the court in a rage.

Facing David Akens, who walked onto the court, Lu Ke still raised his right hand high, and the two of them high-fived each other, indicating cheering.

Sure enough, Jim Hubble, after much consideration, chose a free kick! Akons managed to hit the 37-yard free-kick to make it 37-31 and the gap widened to six points again, and the San Francisco 49ers managed to hold their ground and put the pressure on the New Orleans Saints once again. ”

Under heavy pressure, the Saints' special service team chose to attack back when they kicked off, but the 49-man special service team did not lose concentration, formed an encirclement at the first time, and pressed the return attack hand to the 21-yard line, consuming eight seconds before and after, but the effect of the return attack was really unsatisfactory.

When Drew Bliss came back on the pitch, there were seven minutes and twenty-nine seconds left in the game.

Standing on the edge of the court, Lu Ke gulped water, venting his emotional resentment and frustration, he will not deny that the wave of offense just now was not able to touch down, which is really unsettling, because this is a crucial attack for both teams, and the effect of touchdowns and free kicks is completely different.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Saints were gaining the upper hand while the 49ers were losing their advantage.

Just now, they gritted their teeth and persevered in that wave of attacks, pushing hard above the 20-yard line, but unfortunately they were not able to complete the touchdown; Now, they may need chicken blood to continue to maintain high-intensity and efficient confrontation, otherwise the domino effect caused by the momentum change is really incalculable.

Chicken blood?

Lu Ke had a flash of inspiration in his mind, raised his head, and then saw the endless sea of red in the Candlestick Stadium, tumbling and boiling, he suddenly realized that this was their home field, and the biggest advantage of the home field, he had never really paid attention to, let alone really used it.

Perhaps, for others, they don't know how to convert the energy of the home field, but Lu Ke now has a skill that can be completed:

The home skill, "Stormy Waves", after use, increases the suppression effect of the home support wave on the away team by 5% and lasts for 5 minutes.

Lu Ke had previously determined that five minutes was the game time, not the real time, in short, there were seven minutes and twenty-nine seconds left in the game time now, and once it was used, the skill could last until two minutes and twenty-nine seconds; During this process, due to the yellow flag or red flag, or other circumstances, the game time is paused, and the countdown of the skill will also be automatically paused.

Lu Ke knew that this was not the most perfect time to use, because there were still two minutes and twenty-nine seconds to cover; But it's the right time to use it, and he needs the Saints' momentum to be curbed for a while, and the 49-man offensive team needs to get some breather.

Without hesitation, Lu Ke used the home skill for the first time:

Rough!
