1235 Change to change
The San Francisco 49ers are changing, and so are the Green Bay Packers, with the coaching staff of both sides standing on the sidelines, but there is never a respite and constantly changing according to the situation on the court.
Lu Ke's gaze fell on the stepped defense in front of him, the defensive front, the line back, the corner guard, and the safety guard, and the four parallel lines were listed, in which the positions of the line guard and the corner guard, the corner guard and the security guard were all mixed with each other, confusing the defensive positions between each other, trying to destroy Lu Ke's defensive reading in this way.
Obviously, Lu Ke's fifteen-yard mid-pass connection with Boulding sounded the alarm for the Green Bay packers.
If it's a top-tier defensive group like the Baltimore Ravens or the Seattle Seahawks, they may choose to make local adjustments to add insurance to their defense, but they won't drastically change their defensive tactics because the players themselves are capable enough to adapt on the spot; However, the Green Bay Packers' defensive team did not have such ability, forcing them to adjust their overall tactics.
Lu Ke's brain immediately began to run at high speed, but he didn't jump into conclusions immediately, but bent down to prepare for the kickoff, and then used a series of fake kickoff slogans to disrupt the rhythm, and then his eyes keenly captured the movement of the interior lineback AJ Hawk's center of gravity shaking slightly.
This further confirms Lu Ke's conjecture -
Hawk had just wobbled a small half-step sideways to his left side, which meant that the two interior defenders weren't tasked with guarding the running back, but rather at helping to defend the short pass area.
Of course, that alone doesn't say much, as other players still have a myriad of potential variations, such as raiding quarterbacks, dropping back to defend long passes, pressing forward for short passes, and disrupting defensive duties to complete cross-turns...... And so on and so forth.
However, according to the position layout of the entire defensive group of Green Bay, Lu Ke believes that the most likely event is to hand over the short pass area to two interior guards to assist in defense, while the outside line back, corner guard and safety guard are spread out layer by layer to defend the middle pass and long pass area. Now let's see if Lu Ke's idea can be further confirmed after kick-off.
"Attack!"
Hawk and another interior lineback, Brad-Jones, had just returned to their defensive positions, and Lu Ke immediately announced the official kick-off, and after a quick glance, he saw that Hawk and Brad were both moving towards their outside. Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke's gaze swept over, and then he could see the footsteps of the two outside guards retreating vertically.
The entire defensive formation was immediately clear.
Lu Ke did not hesitate, raised his right hand and simply passed the rugby ball, and his footsteps only made two small adjustments in his pocket, increasing the passing speed with a short and fast rhythm, and then all the players in the defensive group just moved their center of gravity, and were forced to immediately make a move to shift the center of gravity, and the strength and rhythm of the defense immediately weakened.
The target of the pass is Eighty-One Ankuang Bording!
……
Boulding, who was on the outside of the right wing, started his steps, and he could see Logan on his left hand side rushing forward like an arrow from the string, holding back the footsteps of the outside lineman Neil, and the two men were already entangled in an instant and rushed out of five yards away, and continued to move forward.
Boulding didn't increase his speed, he always stepped on small steps to adjust quickly, and made an arc from the outside to the inside, landing behind Logan and Neil, seeing that the interior lineback Hall had already sprinted sideways, but Hall's attention was completely on Marcus - Marcus also pulled towards the small diagonal line on the right, and rushed to the sideline on the right in the direction of Boulding's original position.
Hawke's eyes were completely locked on Marcus, who was unmarked and into no man's land, so that his footsteps swept past Bolding.
Bording couldn't believe his eyes, and his only thought now was: how did Lu Ke's tactical arrangements make predictions in advance? But he didn't have time to think about it, and his feet continued to cut in, and the two defenders Neal and Hawk were on his left and right, but both defenders faced him with their backs, not noticing Boulding's running.
Boulding cut inside close to the slot, as if no one was there, and the vertical distance was about six yards out of the tee line.
As soon as the footsteps were in place, Lu Ke's pass followed.
Boulding didn't need to adjust his position and footsteps at all, and received the pass near his chest smoothly, and the strength was still slightly beyond imagination, as if Lu Ke was worried that his passing was not strong enough, so he deliberately strengthened his tail strength, but he was slightly out of control, which made the rugby hit his chest hard, and there was a faint pain.
However, the position and angle were perfect, and Boulding didn't pause, kicking the ground with his right foot and turning with his left foot as the center of the circle, turning from sideways to a frontal sprint, starting to exert force in the direction of the end zone.
Directly ahead, Tramon, the horned guard, could be seen rushing towards Bording with a look of astonishment, blocking his progress; At the same time, Hawk, the interior lineback who watched the completion of the pass connection, also looked panicked, and the emergency brake controlled his pace towards Marcus, forcing himself to turn around and start a second time, trying to make up for Boulding.
I saw that Boulding lowered his center of gravity slightly, met Tramon's grappling with his shoulders, and relied on the power of his forward acceleration to knock Tramon back again and again, and before he had time to breathe, the two of them stumbled across the first line of attack; Hawke, who was half a beat slower, made a pounce and knocked down both Boulding and Tramon, which ended this offensive advance.
Boulding has already won the first attack twice in a row, and it is the same as the previous game!
What's going on?
In fact, it is not complicated, simply put, Lu Ke made a correct prediction-
Obviously, the Green Bay Packers defensive team has increased their vigilance against Lu Ke's long passes, and has seen through Lu Ke's tactical foreshadowing; Lu Ke also went the opposite way, further confirmed his guess through defensive reading and fake kick-off testing, and he pushed all the running routes of the receiving players out of the boat and pushed them to the middle pass and long pass area; At the same time, the short passing area was set up with the simplest of tricks, with Marcus to draw attention and Boulding as the passing target.
Boulding's running route is not complicated, but it still needs a little cooperation, and after Lu Ke repeatedly admonished him, his route finally did not go wrong.
Of course, Lu Ke still left a back road for himself, and if the formation and positioning of the packer's defensive group were smoke bombs, then Logan would be a more suitable receiving point; If the packers defense takes notice of Boulding's position, then Marcus will be activated as a receiving point.
After kick-off, Lu Ke first noticed Hawke's movement route, and then noticed Tramon's movement route: the former chose to defend Marcus, and the latter opposed Boulding, but retreated and moved in advance, all of which proved that Lu Ke's prediction was accurate, so he found Boulding with a knife in his hand.
The most incredible scene took place on the pitch.
“…… Both Hawk and Neil were eyeing the other receivers, which made them both face away from each other, but the gap between the two men became a way for Bolting to break through the defense and easily complete the catch, which was just a simple forward cross-cut route, but managed to get a first-attack advance. ”
"Wow!"
"The San Francisco 49ers' offensive tactics are really delicate, aren't they? Because the shooting speed was very fast, the defensive front line was not able to get too many chances, and the whole offensive advance was crisp and neat, which was pleasing to the eye! What I'm most curious about now is, how does Lu Ke's brain calculate all this? In the face of Lu Ke's prediction and layout, the defensive group of the packer team really couldn't find too many opportunities. ”
The Green Bay Packers defensive group made changes, and Lu Ke made further changes based on their changes. Although because of the existence of Jon and Bording, Lu Ke's tactical arrangement has become complicated and cumbersome, but now it seems that at least the effect is still worth affirming, which is a good thing.
Dom-Capers, the Packers' defensive coach, is sixty-three years old this year, has been a coach in the league for more than three decades, and perhaps he is not a pioneering coach, but a battle-hardened coach, and although the defensive team is not their strong point right now, Capers is constantly looking for opportunities -
The initiative is still in their hands, and the defense can be a little more aggressive and give it a go, which doesn't hurt.
As you can see, the Packers defensive team has seven players lined up on the front line: three defensive forwards against five offensive forwards, two cornerbacks against two wide receivers, and two outside guards against another wide receiver and one near end.
In fact, there is still no essential difference in the entire opposing position, but the defensive group has placed all the players at the front line, standing on both sides of the Chu River Han boundary, which not only means that more pressure is exerted, nor does it mean that the defenders will start close defense at the same time as the receiving player, but also means that the defensive group can give up the receiving player at any time, cut directly into the pocket, and implement the quarterback raid tactics.
It's a very aggressive defensive formation - they have taken a more provocative defense based on Lu Ke's previous offensive tactics.
At the same time, the two interior linebacks and the two security guards both pulled away slightly to guard against Lu Ke's surprise long pass.
Lu Ke stood in his pocket, his head running quickly, but in the face of the blatant defensive formation of the Green Bay packers, the conspiracy had become a conspiracy, and he had no way to make arrangements in advance.
Lu Ke calmed down, exchanged a look at Marcus who was standing next to him, and then announced the kickoff.
"Attack!"
