1218 Tentative opening
"Attack!"
After two seasons of drills and foreshadowing, Lu Ke has now fully adapted to the atmosphere of the stadium and the rhythm of the game; What's more, even the Super Bowl stage has already been broken through once, and the tension and excitement of the new season opener are not worth mentioning, and the shouts of the eagle sliding through the sky officially opened the curtain for the 2013 season.
Hold the ball in both hands and quickly retreat.
Before the official kick-off, the multi-line offensive formation was transformed into a two-by-two offensive formation, but Lu Ke's footsteps did not stop at all, and turned around and handed the football to starting running back Marcus Lynch, the first offensive of the San Francisco 49ers' new season started from the ground.
After Marcus held the ball, he bypassed the dense area of the confrontation between the two forwards and broke through from the left with light steps, but the Green Bay Packers' outside guard Clay Matthews and defensive end Johnny Jolly (Jhnny-Jlly) maintained a high level of concentration -
When Marcus just crossed the tee line, Matthews and Jolly formed a pinch attack one after the other, intercepting Marcus's continuous forward footsteps, and it was this little delay that the other defensive players rushed over and tightly knocked down Marcus.
It's just a yard of advancement.
The effect of the first ground attack was not good, but Lu Ke was not in a hurry, but patiently observed the position and movement of the Green Bay Packers defensive group.
Last season, the overall performance of the packers defensive group can be described as a strong recovery, and finally ranked 11th in the league, definitely the best performance in the past few seasons, including 11 in the league in pass defense, 17 in the ground defense league, 28th in the red zone defense league, and 29 in the league in foul percentage.
Overall, this is a team that is stronger in second-tier defense than on the ground; At the same time, the lack of defensive strength is often prone to more problems in the third gear defense and the red zone defense.
The Packers have seen a lot of changes in the defensive team in the offseason, with starting safety guard Charles Woodson and starting defensive end J Wilson both moving to the Oakland Raiders, and starting outside guard Erik-Alden moving to the Indianapolis Colts.
Rather than looking for big fish in the free market, though, the packers have tapped up new stars to nurture in their bench and sparring roster.
Incidentally, the Green Bay Packers are a very special and very rare team in the league, and the policy of each offseason is draft first and then free agency.
This can be said to be an anti-rule and anti-law phalanx. Because the free market officially opened at the end of March, and the draft had to wait until the end of April, with a full month to go, it also means that those top players have already been snapped up after entering the free market, and the options are relatively limited after the draft.
But that's what Green Bay Packers are.
They attach great importance to the pedigree and system, just like the academy in football, selected into the team from the rookie period, cultivated all the way and observed, the entire tactical system and ability are purely produced by Green Bay, and when needed, they can immediately enter the main starting lineup.
Of course, it is also important to fill in the gaps in the free market. It's just that when it comes to choosing between rookies and free agents, the Green Bay Packers tend to trust their rookies more than they pick.
It has become almost an unwritten tradition. Although it is not necessary for other teams and team managers to insist on such persistence, which is not the right way to operate a professional team, the packers still stubbornly stick to their tradition -
This year is no different.
With the departure of the three starters, the Packers have all found third- or fourth-year rookies to fill the void on their bench and form a new starting lineup.
For the packers themselves, the offseason run-in will be much simpler; For the opponents of the packers, there is a lack of strength reference data, and when they meet again, they can only slowly adjust through the game process.
Just a ten-yard offense, Jim Hubble chose to attack on the ground, and without any tricks, he simply chose to run the ball and hand it over, in fact, it was to give Lu Ke more time to observe, and test the opponent's formation changes and player status in a relatively conservative way-
Of course, this is only the beginning of the warm-up stage, and many things can only be seen at the surface.
Two gears and nine yards.
Lu Ke directly changed the offensive formation - since it is a test of depth, then you can't be restrained and attack according to your own style, but the overall intensity and strength can be slowed down a little, and the potential possibilities can be explored on the premise of reducing mistakes - it is also a two-by-two formation, but Lu Ke has evolved from an "i" formation to a pistol formation, and the positions of the players who receive the ball on both sides are also significantly widened.
If the first offense was a clear ground offense, then the second offense is now a blurring of the ground and pass offense.
After announcing the kick-off, Lu Ke held the ball in both hands, did not step back, nor did he turn around, but stood in place.
The Green Bay Packers' defensive formation also completely stretched out the lineup, leaving only two defensive forwards on the front line to face five offensive forwards, and all the other players pulling their positions to the sides and back, either attacking the quarterback forward or dropping back to cut out a deep pass.
Lu Ke consciously paused for a moment, his eyes quickly scanned around, and then he saw that the defensive front line was still honestly staying in place against the offensive front line - there was no step up to attack, the lineback and corner back followed the footsteps of the receiver, and the most important detail was that the center of gravity of the two safety guards both moved back.
What does this mean?
The packer unleashes a pass defense!
All of this happened between the lightning and flint, Lu Ke completed the information collection and analysis with just a quick sweep, and the delay caused by a slight pause fully brought the advantage of the pistol formation into full play, and the packer defense team obviously preset the position in advance - Lu Ke will pass.
So, Lu Ke immediately turned around and stretched out his right hand to Marcus, who was standing by his side at any time, and quickly completed the handover of the rugby.
Marcus runs sideways from the left to the right, and he can see the defensive end BJ Raji as he lunges towards him; But Raj's position was stopped by attacking tackle Alex Boone, who could only slap with both hands as hard as he could, but could not go any further.
Marcus made an emergency braking step adjustment, directly bypassing the entanglement between Boone and Pickett, and jumped out of the gap torn between Alex Boone and Anthony Davis-
Because the packers had just consciously pulled the front line completely apart, the linebacks and corner-backs were now all following the receivers towards the route, which also left the space in the short passing area completely open, and just five yards away was enough for Marcus to speed up his rams.
"Ahhh
In the cheers and shouts of the nine, Marcus could see the panicked expressions of all the defenders of the packers, but their positions were completely blocked by the four receivers, which also won more space for Marcus to advance, and finally it was the two safety guards who stepped forward in time and smashed the center of gravity of Marcus's continuous forward rush by flying into the lower half of the body, forcing Marcus to fall to the ground.
But before he could hit the ground, Marcus had already crossed the tee line and was above his own 33-yard line.
First attack, done!
It's another ten yard.
Sure enough, followed by a shotgun formation! Further test the basic changes to the Packers' defensive formation, and then interpret more information from these basic evolutions.
Lu Ke not only emptied the backcourt, but also sent three wide receivers, a close end and a running back to the front line, exerting the power of the shotgun to the extreme in a left-three-right-two-and-right-based manner - of course, in order to avoid illegal formations, each player's position still changed, and he blatantly put on a posture of passing the ball with all his might.
The entire league knows that the San Francisco 49ers' receiving team is suffering from serious injuries, and the current starting lineup can only be really patchwork; But no one will forget that from the closing stage of the regular season to the first half of the playoffs last year, Lu Ke relied on an incomplete receiving team to continue the victory step by step.
The team currently has a total of six wide receivers on the roster, among them, Mario Manningham is out for the season, and Michael Crabtreee remains in the 53-man squad but will have to wait at least December to make his debut; The other four wide receivers are Ted Jean, Jon Baldwin, Anang Boulding and Quinton Paton.
In this game, the starting near end is Logan, the starting running back is Marcus, and the starting wide receivers are Jean, Jon and Boulding.
Now it's time to test the break-in of the wide receivers.
After kick-off, Lu Ke held the ball in both hands, continued to retreat, and methodically began to observe the backcourt alignment form, but the receiver had just started, hurriedly advancing about five yards, and the offensive front line was already facing a crisis, which was really not good news for Lu Ke.
The Packers only needed three men to collide, and left defensive end BJ Raj had once again unreasonably broken into Boone's stand-off position.
Raj is a 337-pound (153-kilogram) super-strong man who played in the peak position last season, but this season he has switched places with his teammates and moved to the defensive end position, and the entire defensive charge almost replicates the Seattle Seahawks' retro defensive style of heavy artillery, and in terms of alignment, Raj can easily crush Boone's position.
Boone struggled to attack in two gears in a row – a physical advantage, and technology was of little use.
Then I saw Raj rushing towards Lu Ke like Mount Tai pressing on the top.
