959 Counterattack launched
"Forty-eight yards!"
"Jesus Christ! It's a super long pass of 48 yards! Mind you, it's important to note that this is a long pass in the midst of a windy and rainy day! It's crazy! Who would have thought it would be a long pass? God, oh God! Bold, this is really bold! At the critical moment, Lu Ke actually sent a long pass of forty-eight yards! ”
"Chad Hall!"
"Catch! Hall caught it! Chad Hall caught it! Ahhh It was a textbook long pass control of the season that found Chad Hall with unmistakable accuracy! The number 13 wide receiver successfully completed the catch! ”
"Gregory is making up the defense, and the New England Patriots' No. 28 guard Steven Grigory is trying to get back and his feet are slipping! Grigory skidding, he missed Hall, missed! Hall! Hall! Hall is sprinting forward! Hall! Number 13 Chad Hall! ”
"He crossed the thirty-five yard line of the New England Patriots half! Thirty yard line! Twenty-five yard line! ”
"Thirty-one cornerback Talib is chasing back, Hall's speed has not increased to the extreme, obviously still worried about the slippage of the court, his whole run still seems relatively solid; But Talib's speed can't be improved, Hall! Hall is still sprinting! The entire New England Patriots defense is chasing back! They haven't given up yet! ”
"But...... Hall! Twenty yard line! Fifteen yard line! Ten yard line! Incredible! It's incredible! No one has caught up, and no player has been able to catch up now! Hall! Hall is still running! Five yards! End Zone! Touchdown! Chad Hall! God, audience friends, San Francisco 49ers' 13th wide receiver Chad Hall stormed into the end zone and completed the touchdown! ”
"Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown! ”
"It was a touchdown! Needless to say, it was a long shot that spanned the whole field! From the San Francisco 49ers' half-court 12-yard line, a sword sealed across the entire court, and finally pierced into the end zone of the New England Patriots, and the touchdown was successful! ”
"Oh God! Oh my dear God! ”
"We've just seen one of the best attacks of the week! Just now! Faced with the dilemma of eighteen yards in second gear, the bad weather in Fort Fox, and the problem of a clean sheet in the first half, Lu Ke, the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, made the toughest counterattack: first chose to run the ball! Then the running back passed, and finally Lu Ke completed the fatal blow! It was an incredible pass! This is an unbelievable tactic! ”
"Touchdown!"
"The San Francisco 49ers scored a touchdown!"
……
After rushing into the end zone, Chad Hall did not rush to celebrate, but supported his knees with his hands, gasping for breath, just this time he advanced, because the soles of his feet were constantly slipping, and his body muscles were already tense to the extreme; Moreover, he had to control the rugby ball with both hands in order to avoid missing the ball, which also made the propulsion more strange and the physical exertion seemed to increase.
Raising his head, Hall looked for the referee's position in the drizzle, but for a while, he lost his sense of direction, and he couldn't find the referee's position at all, and his eyes were blank.
At this moment, a whistle slipped across the sky, it was a whistle that signaled a touchdown, but like magic, it wiped away all the rain and fog in the sky, and the light rain stopped, and the blue-gray sky above the head appeared little by little, still not much sunlight was visible, but the whole world was bright.
The wind and rain seem to have finally stopped for a while.
Then, Hall saw his teammates with joyful faces sprinting towards him, Logan, Manningham, Jean, Marcus, etc., etc., the faces hidden behind the helmets all opened their mouths wide, unabashedly their ecstasy, and the frantic shouts swept in, "Touchdown!" Touchdown! Touchdown! ”
It wasn't until this moment that Hall felt a little real.
He's just an unnamed bench player, an undrafted rookie in 2008, who has spent the past four years playing for the Philadelphia Eagles but doesn't have any presence; Transferred to the San Francisco 49ers this offseason, more of them are still working hard in the special service group, and they still don't have any sense of existence. If there are no surprises, his career seems to be like this.
But today, against the New England Patriots, he managed to score a touchdown. Touchdown! At Gillette Field!
Suddenly, in my mind, the tactical meetings of the second team of the offensive group in the past two months or so came to mind, and those hard, beautiful, regretful or exciting moments all turned into happiness and joy.
Raising his head, the smile on the corner of Hall's mouth finally bloomed wantonly and brightly, quickly and urgently looking for the figure of No. 14 in the field, and then quickly stepped forward, stuffed the touchdown football in his hand into Lu Ke's arms, and said chic and handsomely, "This touchdown belongs to you!" ”
Lu Ke was slightly stunned, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose meaningfully.
Hall was still basking in his own joy, unaware of the anomaly.
At this moment, the referee walked over and said calmly and solemnly, "Rugby for me!" "During the game, the rugby ball has to be handed over to the referee and the players cannot be taken off the pitch alone.
Hall's smile immediately stiffened on his lips, Lu Ke raised his hand and threw the rugby ball to the referee, and then gently patted Hall on the shoulder, "Let's go, David can't wait." ”
"Poof", Logan still didn't hold back after all, and burst into laughter after a puff, and then the rest of the offensive teammates also burst into laughter.
Hall touched his helmet in frustration, but then laughed aloud with the group.
……
Leaving the court and returning to the sidelines, David Akens, Patrick Willis, and Ahmad Brooks lined up, raised their right hands high, and then Lu Ke high-fived them one after another, and finally, came to the rest area next to him, and the caddie Thomas Robinson immediately handed over the towel and water glass, as well as the tactical manual.
That's all.
The offensive team finally got started, but this was only the beginning, the defense team and the special service team did not get carried away, the second half of the game is still incomparably long, they are still standing on the edge of the cliff, it is considered to be a step back, if they let their guard down a little, it is very likely that they will fall into the abyss again.
In this game, the special service team tried to play with additional points for the first time, and Akens, whose accuracy of free kicks began to decline slightly this season, still maintained a 100% success rate in free throws. This time, the Secret Service against the New England Patriots was no exception, and Arkens scored the football with confidence.
“27:7”。
The score on the field finally narrowed a little closer, although the gap was still huge, but ...... Something has changed in the game.
Faced with such a situation, the battle-hardened Tom Brady was not moved at all:
The San Francisco 49ers knew it was impossible to let Brady go without a point in the second half; Similarly, the New England Patriots also knew that it was impossible to keep a clean sheet against Lu Ke, and the offensive group encounter in the first half showed an abnormal state, and now it is just getting on the right track.
The calm Brady continued his good form, steadily controlling the game with short passes and runs, but it is clear that the form of the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team is reviving -
The entire defensive tactics are clear and unambiguous, with tension and relaxation, advance and retreat; In contrast, the first half was completely messing around with brute force, occasionally able to overwhelm the opponent with strength, but there was no discipline at all. This also makes the rounds between the two sides start to look good.
But the New England Patriots are not in a hurry at all, they have the score lead, and they can slowly wear out game time, little by little, compressing the San Francisco 49ers' counterattack time and space. What's more, Brady is not passively consuming time, and he was able to get the first attack again when he was caught off guard, and he was still aiming at the scoring direction and working hard.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
This wave of attack lasted for nearly five minutes, Brady and Gronkowski's passing connection was wrong, although the light rain had been suspended, and the cold wind seemed to calm down a little, but the demon wind from time to time was still unpredictable, Brady's pass under pressure was too short and too low, and Gronkowski had no way to bend down to complete the catch, so he struck out.
Still, the New England Patriots pushed into the free-kick zone with the team's No. 3 kicker, Stephen-Gostkoski, arguably one of the league's most consistent kickers and a number one since joining the team in 2006.
Faced with a 41-yard free-kick again, Gstkowski still did not panic and made it in one fell swoop.
“30:7”。
The New England Patriots are still the New England Patriots, and in the face of a super long pass from the San Francisco 49ers who just had a wonderful and morale-boosting game, they still remained stable and controlled the game in the palm of their hands without arrogance, in other words, the performance of the San Francisco 49ers just now was still not enough to make them mess up.
However, the San Francisco 49ers seem to have become the San Francisco 49ers again, in the face of the strong performance of the opponent, in the face of the huge gap in the score, there is no wavering or timidity, the stubbornness and vigor that belong to the newborn calf burst out again, and the horn of counterattack was sounded unyieldingly.
In the touchdown just now, Lu Ke used all his strength to complete the attack with a deadly long pass; However, it was a bold challenge with a bit of a gambler's mentality, and they couldn't shorten the gap by 23 points every time in a gambler's way, so after re-appearing, the San Francisco 49ers, under the control of Lu Ke, seemed to have finally found their rhythm again.
Ten yards in gear.
Frank Goyle hit the wall straight and was not able to complete the push.
Two gears of ten yards.
Lu Ke stepped back after finishing in the pocket and tried to find Mario Manningham near the left touchline with a 12-yard mid-pass, but Manningham misjudged Lu Ke's passing route slightly, and under the continuous pressure of cornerback Kyle Ellington, he was only half a palm short and could not complete the catch.
Three gears of ten yards.
Two-by-two offensive formation, then ...... Lu Ke ran the ball.
