Chapter 59: Playing (4)
Both the players on both sides and the fans at the scene were stunned by this sudden scene. Everyone can tell what happened.
Knowing that the referee made a gesture to switch the ball, the scene erupted in cheers that shook the ground.
Not only did the conversion give the opposition another chance to attack, but it was also near the 10-yard line in front of the touchdown zone. It was a major mistake that could affect the outcome of the game.
No one could have imagined that Marbury's sprint would be so fast. But the main reason is that the receiver is too careless, does not protect the ball, and directly let the ball out of bounds will not be so miserable.
"Damn! Shit! Lions coach JD Jones slammed the board to the ground in anger. He couldn't believe that this kind of low-level mistake could happen to their players, to a team that was unbeaten in 11 games in the regular season.
But now that the incident has happened, there is no chance of changing the decision, and JD Jones quickly calmed down after the fire and set up the next defense.
At the same time, Johnson also hurriedly arranged the next attack. With less than seven minutes left, every attack counts. The conversion was completely unexpected, and if you can take advantage of this opportunity, it is not impossible to overtake the score.
"There is not much time, the opponent's defensive intensity is stronger, the first two attacks strive for direct pass touchdowns, and try more." Johnson instructed. Anyway, there are still eleven points in the difference, no matter what, you can't rely on one attack to overtake. Rather than take a conservative approach, take the plunge.
Ten yards in one gear! Eleven yards from the touchdown zone.
“READY! ATTACK! ”
Immediately after getting the tee, Yi Fan turned around and made a fake hand with Marbury, then continued to run backwards out of his pocket and turned back to find Pfister in the bottom right corner of the touchdown zone.
Pfister immediately went forward to form a one-on-one with Anthony after kick-off, and immediately turned around and ran to the corner when the opponent was unsteady on his feet.
Unfortunately, Anthony also noticed Pfister's direction in advance, and he followed in Pfister's footsteps and sent a full force to complete the lateral interruption at the moment of receiving the ball.
"It seems that the other side has been prepared, their defensive strength is not bad, and it is not so easy to take advantage of one-on-one." Pfister reacted.
In the second gear attack, Yi Fan tried to choose ground advancement. But as soon as he handed the ball to Marbury, two or three opposing fronts surrounded him, as if premeditated. Even if Marbury turned his back and threw off one person, he couldn't stop the two defenders who came up next, and he was immediately crushed to the ground. Instead of gaining yards, they lost a few yards.
Seeing that the defense worked, Lions coach J.D. Jones immediately called a timeout and set up the next key defense.
"The opponent's defense is only afraid that it will focus on the end line, and this attack will try to get the first attack first." Johnson demanded.
Three gears and thirteen yards, Yifan has no way out.
“ATTACK!”
After Yifan got the ball, he took two steps back, avoiding the bald Morris who was sprinting with all his might, and bought himself half a second to observe.
At this time, because the Lions almost pressed their heavy troops into the touchdown area, the second-line defense was actually empty. Marbury walked past him and back behind the defensive line, not even a man to resist.
But instead of passing to Marbury, Yifan found Williams, a close end near the first line.
It turned out that Williams had sprinted forward quickly after the attack began, but suddenly turned around and ran back a yard before entering the touchdown zone.
And Yi Fan was already ready to pass the ball, threw his right arm long, seized the moment of space, and passed the ball over. He knew that Williams liked to jump when he received the ball, so he deliberately raised the ball a little higher.
Although there were three defenders around, including Jackson, Williams still jumped lightly and got the ball in his hands with great ease.
The touchdown zone was a yard away, but he didn't even think to step in half a step, and the defenders blocked him like a wall, and then immediately threw Williams to the ground, pressing him near the opening line.
Because of the big controversy, the referee had to discuss before finally announcing that the Wolverines had a new first attack.
In order to fully impact the opponent's defense, Johnson replaced the wide receiver Westin with the No. 2 near end Paviglia, making the field a more impactful lineup of two close ends and two running backs.
However, Yi Fan did not agree with this kind of strong attack, he noticed that his teammates were at a disadvantage in physical confrontation, and the opponent also had an outstanding defensive player like Jackson, and it was difficult to have a chance to attack head-on.
“ATTACK!”
After the offense began, Yi Fan followed Johnson's offensive plan, turned around and handed the ball to Marbury, who was moving laterally.
Marbury was behind his teammates, running from the right to the left in search of an opportunity.
But the Lions' defensive players are intertwined, forming an impenetrable human wall. At the moment when Marbury had already rushed to the left line, trying to launch a strong attack, Jackson had already arrived, rushed out of the human wall, and took Marbury straight to the ground.
The ground attack didn't work, and Johnson asked for a pass-through attack, and his order was clear, which was to let Pavelic eat the opposition's corner-back. After kick-off, Yi Fan directly found the close end Pavelic who was one-on-one with the opponent on the left side of the touchdown area, and hoisted the ball with a short throw.
In order to avoid being intercepted by the opponent, Yifan increased the intensity of the pass, and Pavelich's position was stuck by the opponent, two steps shorter than the intended receiving point, and finally the ball flew over the heads of the two, so it was judged that the ball failed.
After losing two consecutive offensive gears, Yifan slowly felt the pressure on his shoulders. Like a slimy swamp, pull him step by step.
"Is this what it's like to play against the strong? Daniel and Brett have been battling this pressure all along! Yi Fan took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. After all, there is only one yard left from the opponent's touchdown area, and the probability of a touchdown is still very high.
Score in third gear! The last yard!
“READY! ATTACK! ”
Yi Fan took the tee ball and turned around and handed it to Howard, the full-backer behind him. He was like a bulldozer with full power, desperate to sprint forward. Trying to rely on the opening of the front line to eat this last yard.
Howard's thrust Sail has also been seen in training, and even when placed in the team, it is one of the best in the team. But the other party saw through Howard's intentions at a glance, and everyone huddled together, forming a solid human wall, and Howard collided with each other. Although Renault and the others tried to push him from behind, they were finally blocked by the Lions, and more than a dozen people were pressed together like dirt bags.
Eventually, the two referees gestured and the touchdown was unsuccessful.
"Ahh Morris roared. Defending three gears in a row, the Lions' momentum has completely improved.
And the Wolverines only had the last attack left, and Yi Fan suddenly felt the pressure increase sharply, and his breathing became rapid.
