"Four-gear conversion! The New England Patriots opted for a four-gear conversion! ”

The studio was boiling, as neutral analysts, what they wanted to see most was a tense and exciting matchup, the more adventurous and bold the choice, the more exciting and exciting, and when Bill Bilicek signaled to the referee that they would choose to play a four-gear transition and the offensive team would remain on the court, all the commentators were boiling.

There was also a boiling in the Gillette Stadium, where the home fans were confident and unwavering in their belief that Bilicek and Brady could still lead them to victory.

"In fact, it's an option with a very high success rate."

"No one should forget that Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks in the league at 'one yard arch', and that all teams and opponents ignore his ability to run — his ability to run with the ball is really not worth mentioning; But he has his own unique experience in finding gaps to complete a bulldozer-style propulsion at close range, and the New England Patriots have repeatedly used Brady's 'one yard arch' tactic to open up the situation and defuse the crisis in past games. ”

"So, what about this time?"

The so-called gambler is the one who dares to give it a go, even if the risk is far beyond imagination. This is true for Hubble, and so is Bilicek.

The offensive group of the New England Patriots and the defensive group of the San Francisco 49ers did not come off the court and lined up again.

On one side of the attacking group, there was a strong punch on the side, with five attacking forwards plus one Rob Gronkowski, and six players completing the formation; Brady was in the "I" formation, and four yards behind him was running back Stewan Ledley – Ledley could run forward and push Brady like a bull to add to the thrust.

In addition, the three receivers are spread out on the left and right.

This is the classic "one yard arch" tactic, using the propulsion of the crowd to find the gap between the chain defenses in the dense crowd through the quarterback, and then complete the one-yard conversion to get the first attack again.

The defensive side did not dare to slack off, even if it was a smoke bomb, even if it was a trick attack, they had to focus more on the confrontation of the offensive line, even if the opponent only completed one yard, it would be a defeat for the defensive side.

In fact, the "four gears and one yard" can often be seen as a test of the strength and heritage of the defensive group.

Because the fourth gear and one yard itself seem a little ambiguous/ambiguous, it seems very easy, but it seems extremely difficult. If the defensive team can increase their intensity, they can cut off the four-gear one-yard transition in an instant; But the slightest negligence on the part of the defensive group, without even a distraction or a mistake, even if it is just a small negligence, can make the switch.

One step to heaven and one step to hell is talking about a forced conversion of four gears and one yard, which is true for both the offensive and defensive sides.

Now, the defensive team is fully engaged in ground defense.

Three defensive forwards and two outside guards stepped forward in unison, standing in a row to complete the standoff; A cornerback and two interior defenders also positioned themselves early, and once the kick-off kicks start to arch a yard, they will fill in behind the defensive line to form a cascading defence, completing the wall and blocking the opponent's ground attack.

In addition, two safety guards and a corner-back are paired with three receivers.

Brady did not get nervous in the slightest, and after completing the formation, he calmly began to cover with fake kick-off slogans, hoping to deceive an early foul, but unfortunately, the defensive team was unmoved, and Aldon, who had repeatedly fouled before, was now as stable as Mount Tai, and for a moment, the air froze and there was no movement.

"Attack!"

Mixed with a bunch of fake kick-off slogans, Brady announced the official kick-off, but after holding the ball in both hands, Brady did not choose to arch a yard, but quickly ran back and made a move to pretend to hand over the football to Ridley. At such a critical moment, Brady is still in the mood to complete the tactics of fake running and real passing, which is admirable enough.

However, the speed with which the San Francisco 49ers rose to the top is astonishing.

The entire defensive front line rushed up like a tiger descending a mountain, whether it was a one-yard tactic or not, they put unparalleled pressure on the entire offensive front line, and then Aldon jumped out directly -

The offensive and defensive fronts formed a confrontation, and Aldon became a "superfluous pawn" outside of the numerical advantage, so that almost before he had time to breathe, he had already bypassed the fiercest battle line, and Brady's back could already be seen in his sight.

Brady, who had just finished pretending to hand over, was about to turn around, and then caught Aldon's unstoppable grappling footsteps, which immediately shocked him into a cold sweat, turned around quickly, and while retreating to widen the distance, without hesitation, he passed the rugby ball towards the far end of the thirty-degree radiation on the left.

Almost as soon as the pass was made, Aldon's hands had already touched Brady's chest, not to tackle, but to push. Because Alton was also aware of Brady's move, he changed his sack move at the last minute to avoid a yellow flag foul for "rough treatment of the quarterback".

Then, Aldon pushed Brady back and forth, forcing Brady's passing action to be incomplete.

In the next second, the wide receiver Wess Wilk, who was originally standing on the right side, made a lateral run, crossed the passage between the quarterback and the running back, appeared on the left side, and was ready to receive the ball with a footwork adjustment.

The reason for choosing Wilk instead of Gronkowski is that on the one hand, it needs to be taken by surprise, everyone thinks that the four-gear one-yard option passes, and Gronkowski's physical confrontation advantage cannot be ignored; On the other hand, Wilk has the highest catch success rate in the team, and his light feet and quick pulls can create more chances in the chaotic areas.

Sure enough, Wilk immediately adjusted his pace and saw the teleported rugby ball. The other two wide receivers both lunged out and pulled their opposing defenders out to create space for Wilk.

Immediately afterward, Wilk noticed that Brady's pass arc was too high and not far enough away - after Brady stepped back repeatedly, he was about six or seven yards from the tee line, and now his pass was only five yards, which was clearly a deviation in pass control under ferocious pressure.

Wilk didn't have time to lunge any further, jumped lightly, raised his hands high and took the rugby ball into his arms.

But before the footsteps could land, the eyes had already captured the figure of the defender, "Oops! Wilk only had time to exclaim, and the next second the whole person was grappled heavily, like a wrestler's ultimate, "planting" him directly on the ground.

Wilk still didn't give up, he was short, but the advantage was that when facing tall people, he was still able to twist and get rid of them in a small space.

Wilk, however, had no chance. Then, three other defenders arrived and tightly knocked out Wilk, who had just escaped from the defender's arms and had not had time to stand up.

"Four-gear one-yard conversion failed!"

"God, the San Francisco 49ers defense did the most crucial defense of the game! In this offensive and defensive battle, the offensive tactics of the New England Patriots were completely recognized. ”

"First of all, Tom Brady's fake running real pass, encountered Aldon Smith's sackling pressure, and finally could only complete the pass in a hurry; Then the two wide receivers were also recognized, Dashan Goldson and Chris Gulliver, who were sticking to this side, were not fooled at all, and always stuck to the spot, Goldson grabbed Weiss Wilk as soon as possible, and Gulliver and two other teammates were also very timely in their defensive positions, pushing Wilk down behind the tee line. ”

"Not only did the New England Patriots fail to complete the four-gear one-yard conversion, they also lost two yards!"

"All-round strong! The San Francisco 49ers defense team is strong across the board! They earned a chance to turn the game around for their attacking group, and it seemed like it had just started now, and oh my god, it was so exciting! It's so exciting! ”

……

"Ahhh

"Ahhh

Far away on the other side of the North American continent, San Francisco has been boiling, for the first time, not because of their own offensive group, but because of their own defensive group, celebrating wantonly and cheering wildly, although they have not won the game yet, although they are still the side behind the score, but the familiar San Francisco 49ers are finally back!

From the offensive group to the defensive group, full recovery!

Regardless of the outcome of this game, they all hold their heads high and welcome the playoffs!

San Francisco has gone completely crazy, and it has nothing to do with winning or losing, they are just cheering wantonly; Fort Fox fell into a momentary stunned.

All the fans at Gillette Stadium fell into disbelief and couldn't help but hold their heads and let out a painful moan/moan, how the hell did all this happen? Why did Brady's best "arch one yard" fail? Why was Bilicek's trick of the ball being recognized? Why did they, who had always had the upper hand, suddenly fall into trouble?

Yes, the game is still not over.

But at this moment, the home fans are briefly at a loss, and one of the most trusted and stable links has suddenly gone wrong, so what should they do now?
