970 Last Stand

"Bambi, pause!" Hubble's unwavering words burst out with a sense of determination and ruthlessness, and he made a decision neatly, and Hampton closed his mouth in the headset.

On the field, Lu Ke immediately raised his hand to ask the referee for a timeout, and all the players in the offensive group stood in place and cast their eyes towards Lu Ke.

In the course of the game, it is Hubble who has the right to arrange tactics and command on the spot, all tactics must go through him, he is the only person who has such power, and at the same time takes all the risks and responsibilities, although Hampton's tactical position is the same as Hubble, but at critical moments, Hampton cannot pass Hubble to give orders.

But for the members of the offensive group, the only object with their trust and reliance is Lu Ke. At this moment, they noticed the abnormality, but instead of looking at Hubble, they looked at Lu Ke.

It's called a comrade-in-arms.

After the pause, Lu Ke still didn't speak, and Hubble didn't urge immediately, but waited quietly, leaving enough time and space.

After two seasons of cooperation, Hubble also has enough understanding of Lu Ke, he knows that the quarterback has never been soft at critical moments, if Lu Ke says that there is a problem, then it must be a problem, Lu Ke is definitely not the kind of rookie player who is casually in a hurry, the bigger the scene, the better he plays. Now, Lu Ke said that he needed to be quiet, so he would give Lu Ke quiet.

Ten seconds had passed in the blink of an eye of the forty-second pause, but Hubble and Lu Ke remained silent and were not discussing tactics at all.

At this time, the tactics room was already in chaos, and everyone cast their eyes at the Hamptons, asking with their eyes: What's going on?

Hampton only felt like his hair was going to be pulled out, and tried to think of some solution, but he could only spread his hands and slam the headset on the table, "How do I know?" ”

"Bambi, how should we attack now?" Hubble finally spoke, but not in a tactic.

Lu Ke let out a long breath, his irritability finally calmed down completely, and said calmly, "Okay, I have no problem." Coach, you start laying out your tactics. ”

"Just these two attacks, their defense is obviously pulling to the backfield, which is to prevent long passes; At the same time, the intensity of the raid tactics has also increased, what do we need to do? Before Hubble laid out the tactics, Lu Ke used the simplest words to describe the gains from his quarterback perspective, which are still different from watching from the sidelines.

Different from the tactics in the first half, although the tactics of the New England Patriots defensive team are now also pulling to the backcourt, the first half is more about control, weakening the ground defense and cutting off Lu Ke's passing route.

And now it's more of a typical last-two-minute style of defense -

Cutting off the possibility of long passes and forming a turtle in an urn is a similar defensive strategy for almost every team facing such a situation, but in terms of tactical layout and player scheduling, each team has its own style.

"yes, I see." In the middle of every breath, Hubble had countless tactics in his mind, but he suddenly found that he and Bill Bilicek were both calculating each other, and the more he thought about it, the more complex and profound it became, which was like a master game, dazzling and unrecognizable.

Then, instead of coaches standing on the sidelines and calculating each other, it is better to let go and give the players on the field to fight hard. Provided, of course, that he is willing to trust the field commander.

"Bambi, listen up, there's one hundred and three seconds left in the game. You use the no-gathering business attack, the control of the game time, you deal with it yourself, if there is a mistake, I will have to stop in time on the sidelines, you just let it go, don't have any scruples. Remember, a touchdown is our only goal, there's no difference between a three-gear conversion and a four-gear conversion, touchdown! I want a touchdown! ”

Bilicek was a gambler, and Hubble was also a gambler.

Just now Bilicek lost the bet, and now it's Hubble's turn.

Hampton in the tactics room still couldn't hold back after all, and scolded loudly, and the endless foul language was unbearable, but he had just lost the headset, so it had no effect on Hubble and Lu Ke.

But everything is under the supervision of team manager Trent Balke, and as long as Trent doesn't speak, then Hubble's tactical choice won't be questioned. Although, at this moment, Trent couldn't help but start to sweat in his palms, because he knew better than anyone else what Hubble was doing.

There is no polymercial attack.

Removed the link of the offensive group's gathering business, and completely relied on the quarterback's on-the-spot response and the tacit understanding of the offensive group. The no-collar offense in the professional league is the ultimate test of the quarterback's ability to permutate and combine tactics.

In the past two seasons, Hubble has given Lu Ke the highest trust, and during the game, Lu Ke temporarily changed his tactics or took the initiative to propose tactics, and Hubble was willing to let Lu Ke try; Similar tactics have been used many times to reduce the time it takes to increase the tempo and speed of the attacking group.

But this is the first official time that there is no gathering of businessmen to attack.

In the past two years, the no-gathering offense has gradually become popular in the NFL, and I thought it was just a lazy tactic in college, but after entering the NFL, it has become a stage to show the ability of the quarterback-

Not to mention, this season's Payton Manning has played amazing statistics after joining the Denver Broncos, the biggest reason is that quarterback coach Adam Gase (Adam-Gase) took the initiative to put forward a no-gathering strategy, which completely released Da Manning's tactical layout ability, not just a rapid advance, but put the offensive rhythm in the hands of Da Manning, which also amplified the advantages of Da Manning to the extreme, and this is only the first season of his return from injury.

To some extent, this symbolizes that the head coach and the offensive team coach have given their "tactical decision-making power" to the quarterback, either a top player in the league like Big Manning, or the coach's unconditional trust in the player, whichever is possible, the prevalence of offense without consultation means a shift in the center of gravity.

In other words, it's not an easy or easy choice for any coach.

But now, Hubble still decided to hand over the offensive control to Lu Ke at the last moment of the game, and in this game between the old fox and the little fox, Hubble became the guy who broke the situation first.

Because Hubble realizes that he and Hampton have too many ideas and too many mixed ideas, and it is easy to fall into the trap of Bilicek, because they are spectators, and they have to control the game; But the rapid changes on the field are too complicated and cannot be accurately controlled, which is also the reason why Lu Ke's emotions are slightly out of control just now.

In that case, why not hand over the rights to Lu Ke?

Hubble was willing to believe Lu Ke, or rather, he was willing to gamble heavily.

Lu Ke did not refuse.

First, there is no time, and second, there is no need. Now it's time to fight against the odds, either succeed in a comeback and win, or fight until the last minute to lose the match. Lu Ke would rather choose the latter, even if he fails, he has to straighten his waist and raise his chin to calmly welcome the ending that belongs to them!

So, Lu Ke said neatly and neatly, choosing his own basic offensive formation, "Moss, Jean, Hall and Newman, in addition to Lynch." ”

Since it is a non-gathering business attack, rhythm and speed are the vitality of the entire attack. Rotation players are bound to exist, some because of the distribution of stamina, some because of special gears such as three-gear transitions, but overall, the offensive team needs to maintain a relatively stable structure so that the quarterbacks can get into a high-speed state.

So, Lu Ke chose his own offensive formation.

Without any hesitation, Hubble waved his hand and sent the corresponding player on the field.

In fact, this is the most consistent receiving team of the San Francisco 49ers team at the moment, and if a replacement is needed, the rotation of Marcus and Goyle can have a positive impact; The cross-rotation of Manningham and Moss was also able to change the tempo. Now it's up to Lu Ke to complete the on-the-spot arrangement.

Three gears thirteen yards.

It's an opportunity for the New England Patriots defensive group and a crisis for the San Francisco 49ers offensive group.

Lu Ke stood in the offensive front, his thoughts were completely precipitated, he would not think about the question of whether it was third gear or fourth gear, his only thought now was: they were already standing on the edge of the cliff, and each attack must be completed as the last attack, only by bursting out of this momentum can the initiative be held in his hands.

The defensive group was still in the same position as expected, and the two safety guards had retreated to the second half, at least twenty yards from the tee line, and they did not let their guard down at all because it was a three-gear thirteen-yard super-long yardage dilemma - Lu Ke's long pass was still the biggest weapon at the crucial moment.

The defensive lines of the linebacks and cornerbacks are also significantly pulled back, stretching the entire defensive space and making corresponding adjustments according to the position of the attacking group; Only four defensive strikers were left at the front.

The San Francisco 49ers put on an unconventional two-by-two formation.

In terms of the general pattern, there are still two receivers on the left and two receivers on the right, but the players are very particular about their positioning.

On the left are Randy Moss and Logan Newman, with Logan standing alongside offensive tackle Joe Stanley and looking like the sixth offensive forward; Moss, on the other hand, stands in the opposite middle position on the left side, and can be cut inside or outside.

On the right are Jean and Hall, both of whom are positioned to the inside, with Jean's position next to the slot, but still leaving a slot aisle; Hall and Jean were separated by less than three paces, almost symmetrical with Moss on the other side.

It stands to reason that they should be close to the touchline – after all, game time is bad for the San Francisco 49ers, and now the receiver's position is going inside? What the hell is going on?

But Lu Ke didn't leave more room for the defensive team to think-

"Attack"
