Yi Fan sat in the preparation area, with a white towel on his face and a dark blue coat wrapped around his body. He completed his task for the time being, and ushered in a short break. At this time, he felt that every muscle he had was wrung in a towel, stiff, tense, and unable to relax. In one powerful confrontation after another, the muscles have to enter this state of confrontation in order to protect themselves.
So even though he was already sitting on the sidelines, he felt his body constantly shaking. It's the first time for him to play to this extent.
Matthews on the side is not much better, the running back is the most vulnerable to injury in all positions, he is still inferior in terms of body, and he has already been covered in bruises by now, constantly spraying several joints with drug spray.
"There is still a quarter of the game, and in the last twelve minutes, the intensity only rises and does not fall, how can this be played?"
Yi Fan's mind was blank, and he couldn't think of any way to break through the current situation, except to have more powerful ground offensive weapons.
But in fact, the substitutes who were urgently pulled up from the training camp did not play any role, although they were full of energy, they were too far behind the main players in terms of rushing ability and route selection, and they could hardly share any pressure on the ground attack.
The three-point gap, a free kick can tie, a touchdown can overtake, and there is still the last quarter of the game, and it is not known who will die.
But at this time, the Cavaliers' situation is not much better than that of the Wolverine, and they are also facing a decline in fitness on the offensive end, but not as obvious as Yifan.
At the beginning of the game, the attacking team did their best, bombarding the next touchdown with heavy artillery, and the opponent was caught off guard. At the same time, the defensive group retains physical strength and keeps the score from being overtaken.
Therefore, although it was the final quarter, Leonard and other key players still had enough physical strength, which put great pressure on the opponent's pockets.
Syllable!
I saw Tiger like a tiger descending from the mountain, and he captured the opponent's quarterback to the ground in one fell swoop. Blocked the opponent's three-gear transition, putting them in their own half.
The excellent performance of the defensive group shared the pressure on Yifan's shoulders, but it still couldn't solve the problems on the offensive end.
Matthews' sprint had lost his speed and agility in the first half, and his Z-turn was barely wobbly, and the opponent only needed a frontal tackle to press down.
Yi Fan has long been unable to run on his own, and several passes have been destroyed. Although Pfister had an excellent catch, Luis also drew a foul, but an offensive run came down to push to 40 yards in the opposition half.
"Coach, I don't think it's going to be a good idea. Do you want to try it with Brett? Diana reminded from the side.
Although Brett made mistakes, the style of the ball was also thoroughly touched. But after all, there is a lot of experience in the game and a lot of physical strength, which is a resource that can be encountered but not sought at the moment.
What's more, Johnson gave the order to prepare early in the morning, so Brett's warm-up was very sufficient and he could play at any time.
Looking at Diana's anxious expression, Johnson was unmoved. Nearly halfway through the fourth quarter, and now that it's the opponent's turn to attack, Yifan has a few minutes to rest on the sidelines for the final charge. According to Johnson's estimates, he only needs one more attack before the game time is over, so there is no need to make substitutions at this point.
Boom!
The defense team boldly adopted the tactic of safety raiding, Eric passed through the fierce front, came to the opponent's quarterback, and slapped the ball to the ground at the moment of passing.
Three gears of ten yards, a crucial conversion, at which point the spear squid Dean stepped up, facing the opponent's wide receiver, he relied on the advantage of speed, ran to the landing point of the ball one step ahead, and slapped the ball out of the sideline during the aerial confrontation. Don't give the other party any chance.
"Nice defense!"
"This ball has the feel of a pro!"
The spectators in the stands shouted praise.
The third-gear offense didn't work, and the Cavaliers' offense came under huge sniping. This is another major blow to the momentum they have managed to recover.
With just four minutes left before full-time, the Cavaliers are still three points behind, and the focus is on possession. If you want to win, you have to stop the Wolverines from taking the first attack. With each new first attack, their defeat increased by one point.
After a few minutes of rest, Yifan's strength recovered a little. As long as he gets two new first strikes in the next game, he can win the game by wasting time.
A slight lead of three points in hand, but if it is played properly, it can also be the difference between victory and defeat.
“CK!”
Twenty-five yards on this side! The goal is to push forward ten yards and try to keep the ball on the court in the offense and consume as much time as possible.
Yi Fan tried to relax his body as much as possible, and as soon as he received the kick-off, he handed the ball to Matthews, who moved from the weak side to the left, and took advantage of a small gap pulled by Favors to plunge into it without thinking.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the crowd, the left line guard and security guard of the Cavaliers had been waiting for a long time, and hugged him without saying a word.
I saw that Matthews's thin body was picked up by the opponent's lineman, and he was thrown to the ground after a circle in the air.
He was already out of breath, and this time the grappling was too hard, and it was beyond his reach. At the same time, the elbow hits the ground when it hits, and the huge impact goes straight to the ball.
Under the strong momentum, Matthews let go of his right hand, and the ball came out of his armpit.
"Oops!"
Seeing Matthews drop the ball, all eyes were on the ball that landed.
Once you get the ball in this position, it's a great opportunity for the Cavaliers.
Favors, who was closest to him, reacted immediately and took a step, bending down to scoop the ball up, but his body was about to lose his balance, and after stumbling a step, the ball came out of his hand again and jumped into the air.
At this time, the defenders of the Cavaliers had already rushed over, and when Yi Fan saw this, he quickly made a flying pounce with his legs, held the ball in his arms in the air, and then lay down face down on the ground regardless of 3721.
Puff puff puff......
I saw one after another strong men of two or three hundred catties pressing on Yi Fan's body like stacked arhats. Countless hands tugged at him indiscriminately.
The heavy oppression, the scorching heat, and the slimy sweat mixed together, suffocating.
When the referee pulled a whole lump of players apart one by one, he rescued Yi Fan, who was about to be squashed, and pulled him back from the fainting sideline.
"I almost thought I was going to die......" Yi Fan said weakly. He was now feeling more and more tired, and it was difficult to even stand.
But the clock was ticking, and the game began immediately, and after a little calm, he counted the seconds one by one, and the forty seconds of the formation were consumed until the end of the line-up, and the ball was released.
