Chapter 188: Facing Frontal Attack
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Hearing Yi Fan's tactical arrangement, McCarvey shook his head and said, "Cover the attack? Don't blame us for not protecting our pockets well. ”
Against a lineback of Cleon's calibre, the consequences of running out of the pocket are often catastrophic. At the current distance, not to mention that it may be tackled at any time, it is also very likely to be knocked out, resulting in the conversion of the ball or even a direct touchdown.
"I know, if I'm not sure, I won't take the initiative to fight."
Yifan gave them a shot of strength. If it had been placed in the past, even if it was given ten guts, Yi Fan would not have taken the initiative to cover the attack. But when Snell returned, the first thing he taught him was to cover the attack.
"Your steps look pretty good!"
After the interview, Snell immediately pulled Yifan into training.
After watching Yi Fan's pocket dodge and get rid of, he nodded in satisfaction. When they first met, Snell thought that Yi Fan was just an embryo, but now it seems that he has mastered much more unique skills than he expected.
"Who is this trick to learn? Matthews? ”
The footsteps that Yifan used just now are exactly Matthews's Z-shaped change of direction. Use the center of gravity to swing sharply to confuse the opponent.
"But you're a running back, you're a quarterback, and that trick only works when you rush the ball. Close quarters grappling is useless at all. ”
Snell gets to the point right at once. Yi Fan has relied on this trick to win quite a few sprint yards, and although he has barely scored in the last two games, at least in the highest one he has scored more than 40 yards in a single game.
The Z-shaped change of direction is basically useless when the opponent is less than two meters away from him, plus Matthews's height and weight are one notch lower than Yi Fan, and his flexibility is better than Yi Fan.
In this way, the actual use range of Yifan's most popular Z-shaped change has become very small.
"There are special skills in the pocket dodge, and the first reaction of the average defender after breaking through the pocket is to take the quarterback down with all his might. They can even hit you with 120 percent force, which is what makes quarterbacks very injury-prone. ”
Except for some quarterbacks who like to rush the ball very much, usually the reason for the injury of the quarterback is the impact, and this kind of deadly defensive Yifan is not unexperienced. If it weren't for his strong physique, he might have been like Rodgers now.
"Do you know the rope ladder?"
Snell pulled out a ladder tied with rope from the warehouse. This rope ladder is often used in training, and it is one of the most basic exercises, and it is an essential course for both the offensive and defensive groups.
"Of course I know, I have to practice every day."
Yi Fan lowered the rope ladder flat on the ground, and then stepped back and forth between his two feet in the grid of the rope ladder as if he were dancing.
The purpose of this training is to improve the flexibility and balance of the foot, and Yi Fan was not less tripping at first, but later he slowly mastered it.
Snell took the rope ladder and flipped it over and over again, folding it into the shape of a nine-square grid.
"Try this, after you stand up, every time you step on it, bend your waist."
Snell's new training arrangement didn't seem difficult, but after Yi Fan actually tried it, he found that the rhythm of falling together was difficult to grasp.
To say that the ordinary rope ladder is just to train the left and right movement of the feet, but after the ordinary act of bending over, it becomes a whole body training up and down, front and back, left and right, and the difficulty has increased several times.
And in the face of the defender's desperate rushing pass, a simple bend is a simple and effective way to dodge.
Under Snell's guidance, Yifan practiced for more than half an hour before he gradually got started. Looking at his sweaty appearance, although Snell kept criticizing on his lips, he was secretly happy in his heart.
This training usually takes two to three hours to get started, even Brady, the main quarterback in front, initially took nearly an hour, but Yi Fan only took half an hour, which is the best learning ability he has ever seen, which is far more than he expected.
Subsequently, Snell threw him another ball and asked him to practice while getting familiar with the feel, after all, the ultimate goal of dodging in the pocket is also to avoid the tackle and create opportunities for passing.
Although it was a short day of special training, Yi Fan felt a lot more nimble on his hands and feet, and now he is confident to avoid one or two ordinary grapplings.
“ATTACK!”
Three gears and eight yards!
McCarvey sounded the horn of attack again, and the first two attacks were unsuccessful. If this attack still doesn't work, we can only pin our hopes on Leonard.
After receiving the tee, Yi Fan quickly stepped back and watched while moving away from his pocket. His task is to use himself to attract the attention of the opposing linebacker or even the safety guard and create the conditions for the receiver.
After the two forwards were together, the Cardinals' core lineback Cleon seized the gap and pounced on Yifan from the middle.
His sprint speed was fast, even if he was stopped by McCarvey in the middle, but it didn't prevent him from pressing Yifan.
Seeing that the other party had broken through his pocket and came to him. Yi Fan pulled up his leg and ran to the right, where in addition to the close end Favors, there were also Isobull and Matthews who were in the middle of the shear.
In Snell's temporary special training, there is also a special content, which is to watch flying saucers.
Flying skeet is one of the common Olympic sports and is a type of shooting event. Contestants shoot the flying saucers with shotguns, and the winner of the competition is determined by who shoots more than he can.
The sport is also very popular in the United States, so there are also special training grounds in schools.
Snell, through head coach Johnson, applied to the school for a shooting range for special training.
"What you have to do is to observe how many saucers there are, and how many colors they have."
Snell pressed the switch in his hand, and with a bang, several flying saucers shot out from different directions, which was dazzling.
Not only are these flying saucers small, but they also move so fast that they can easily be blinded even if you're fully focused.
Compared with rope and ladder training, this special training not only tests eyesight, but also tests calculation and observation skills.
Due to the great difficulty, Yi Fan's first five attempts all failed. Not to mention the color, even the number can't be counted.
"You can't just focus on one point, you should look at the whole picture. It's like a camera, taking a picture of the whole picture, and then doing the math and calculation. ”
Even though Snell constantly emphasizes the focus, this kind of learning ability beyond the physical level is not something that even Yi Fan can master in a day or two.
However, his gains are also obvious, even if it is only a half-day of special training, it has also broadened his horizons a lot more than before.
Especially when it comes to observing players in sports on the field, his ability to read options is clearly not comparable to before.
