1121 Déjà vu
"Beep! Beep! ”
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the audience burst into cheers and roars!
Not nine people.
Sun Tongfei cast his eyes on the score on the big screen, covered his eyes in disbelief, and couldn't help but think of the nightmare of the last time he watched the game at Candlestick Stadium - the San Francisco 49ers also fell into a disadvantageous situation at the beginning, "Am I at odds with Lu Ke?" Every time they watch him play live, they get into trouble! ”
If turning around and leaving now can be exchanged for a second-half recovery for the San Francisco 49ers, Sun Tongfei will definitely not hesitate to do so.
Lei Qingkong, who was standing next to him, was much more stable, but he was still a little impatient in his heart, and the realism of being in the game scene always made people suffer from gains and losses, especially when the team he supported was fighting on the field, the tension was surging.
Look at the score on the field, "6:28", the home team is in front, the away team is behind, how can Lei Qingkong remain calm?
When was the last time the San Francisco 49ers faced such a dilemma? The memory is actually a little blurry, even in the games against the New York Giants and New England Patriots this season, the San Francisco 49ers are in a backward situation, but they are not so embarrassed.
However, in fact, after a winning season, the San Francisco 49ers did show a little fatigue in the playoffs, falling behind in two consecutive games, failing to score in the first wave of offense, and being a little slow in the first half...... Everything tonight was familiar, and on the Super Bowl stage, the shortcomings were further amplified.
In the first two playoff games, the San Francisco 49ers won the final victory in the face of such a difficult situation, so what about this time? Will they still be able to work miracles?
Looking back at the entire first half of the game, in fact, the San Francisco 49ers played not badly, but the score fell into such a predicament, what is the reason?
Detail!
The San Francisco 49ers' control of the details on both the offensive and defensive ends was out of control, and after a small detail was misplaced, all of them were superimposed, and the situation began to advance in the direction of losing control step by step.
Let's start with the defensive group.
Foul problems have seriously plagued the improvement of defensive quality, and in the first half alone, there were seven yellow flag fouls in the defensive group alone - according to statistics, this has already set a Super Bowl record, and to make matters worse, four of the seven yellow flag fouls all came in the defense of the three-gear transition, which also means that either the opponent was simply sent to the opponent to send the first attack directly, or the opponent won the opportunity to replay the third gear.
This is undoubtedly fatal for the defense.
One of the fouls also appeared at the moment of interception, security guard Dashan Goldson successfully intercepted Joe Flako, if successful, this will be Flacco's first interception in this year's playoffs, but I didn't expect outside guard Aldon Smith to pull a foul, which directly led to this interception being blown off by the referee.
Not only did Flako escape, but he reorganized the attack and scored his first attack.
This was a serious blow to the form and morale of the defensive group.
Seven Yellow Flag defenses gave away a total of fifty yards! Although the San Francisco 49ers defense was still in good shape, the fouls allowed the Baltimore Ravens offense to breathe, turn the deficit back and go on with a bang, scoring back-to-back points.
In the first half alone, the Baltimore Ravens offense scored three passing touchdowns and one running touchdown, once again showing a strong momentum in three games in the playoffs - their best first half of the playoffs this year! The San Francisco 49ers defensive team completely lost the limelight of the regular season, and consecutive mistakes buried their accumulated advantages.
Sure enough, the league rankings in the regular season can only be used as a reference, but they may not be able to convert into a score advantage above the Super Bowl, because in the actual game, there are too many uncertainties, and it is not simply calculated with numbers.
Let's talk about the offensive group.
The problem of mistakes became a stumbling block for them to keep moving forward! After scoring the first free kick, Lu Ke led the offensive team into the red zone three times, but all of them returned with no passing touchdowns, so the offensive efficiency of the red zone hit a new low in two seasons.
But...... You really can't blame Lu Ke.
Among the three red zone attacks, the first time Drew Michael James ran the ball, only to drop the ball and be robbed of the ball by the opponent; After Vernon's second catch, there was a butter hand again, and it seemed that the arm injury still had a slight effect, resulting in an incomplete pass, a good chance to be lost, and finally a free kick was selected.
Lu Ke found Logan for the third time, but Logan, who has been stable for two seasons, made a mistake when the receiver was placed, and instead of catching the football, he accidentally changed the direction of the rugby's flight, allowing Ed Red, a safety guard who was not far away, to easily complete the first interception of the game.
Three attacks advanced to the red zone, which took a lot of time and energy, and finally ended up in a suffocating manner, which was also a serious blow to the morale and condition of the attacking team.
At the same time, the Baltimore Ravens defense team also gave outstanding performances, showing their strong strength: a total of two tackles and quarterbacks, four forced hasty shots, four effective impacts, and one jamming pass, creating huge pressure on the front line and making Lu Ke dance in his pockets.
Objectively speaking, the defensive team was able to continue to force the Baltimore Ravens offensive group back to the danger of third-gear conversion, and the offensive group entered the red zone three times before and after to win the opportunity to challenge the touchdown, all of which showed that the strength of the San Francisco 49ers is still trustworthy, but the deviation of details at the critical moment has wasted all the advantages accumulated before.
This is reminiscent of the regular season match between the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints, and the whole game was also difficult to solve, but the deviation of the details led the two teams in very different directions, and in the end, the San Francisco 49ers easily walked away from the Super Dome with a victory.
But tonight in the same court, the position was reversed, and now the San Francisco 49ers are losing control of the details.
So, "6:28", the half-time score was settled. The San Francisco 49ers have fallen off a cliff with half a foot!
Even in the studio, such a situation could not be expected at all, and the first half was actually spent like this, which really makes people not know how to evaluate it.
'It's half-time and we don't know exactly what will happen in the second half and for reference, there's a historical record that can't be ignored.
"Never before in Super Bowl history has a team come back from 22 points down! In fact, the current record for the highest margin of victory in the Super Bowl is 10 points in history, set by the 1987 Super Bowl 22nd champion Washington Redskins and the 2009 Super Bowl 44 winner New Orleans Saints. ”
"No team can go more than 10 points down and get back on winning tracks because it's the ultimate Super Bowl matchup! In other words, even if they are only eleven points behind, no team can reverse the disadvantage at the moment. ”
"Although I don't want to admit it, but ...... Is the triple spell working? The regular season MVP curse, the all-win curse and the regular season passing code king curse, these unbreakable historical record shackles, and then add another '10 points behind' curse, from the current situation, the San Francisco 49ers are really in a bad situation! ”
So, what should be done now?
Sun Tongfei turned his head to look at Lei Qingkong, "Uncle Kong? He didn't ask, but the uncertainty in his voice betrayed his nervousness.
Lei Qingkong reacted immediately, turning his head to look at the turbulent and colorful sea of fans in front of him, "Xiao Fei, do you know why Lu Ke was able to win the support of so many fans?" ”
After a slight pause, Lei Qingkong continued, "It's not because he led the team to win so many victories, but because of his tenacity that will never bow his head in the face of difficulties, and that kind of fighting attitude of never giving up has re-endowed this team with its soul." Remember the slogan of the 49ers going to the Super Bowl? ”
Sun Tongfei was slightly stunned.
Lei Qingkong showed a confident smile, "This is not the first time such a scene has appeared, and it may not be the last, but believe me, Lu Ke will never give up!" Second! We'll see! ”
Sun Tongfei followed Lei Qingkong's line of sight and looked at the Mercedes-Benz Super Dome in front of him, and then a buzzing sound was quietly gathering together, like a huge wave, gradually, gradually climbing, and finally condensed into a rope, thundering in the audience!
"The fight goes on!"
This is the official slogan of the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, the reason why they stand on this stage is not because their strength has been invincible in the league, but because they will not give up lightly in every game and every offensive and defensive gear, let alone surrender easily!
Twenty-two points behind?
So what!
In the second half, they will fight back tougher, more ferocious and braver, and no one will ever know the outcome until the end of the game!
Then Lei Qingkong followed the red sea at the scene, raised his right hand high, clenched it into a fist, and burst out all the energy in his body, roaring all over the sky, "The battle will not stop!" The battle goes on! The battle goes on! ”
Sun Tongfei only felt a burst of blood boiling, and he couldn't hold back his excitement and excitement, and he also roared and roared in the same oblivion, one after another.
Listen, that's the roar of the audience!
