589 Familiar with routines

Spencer Larson was not at all worried about Charles Davis' sober analysis, "Before we officially enter the prediction, we can look at a set of statistics, the San Francisco 49ers, the third in the league in the offensive group, the third in the league in the defensive group, and David Akens in the special service group is the first in the league in terms of additional points and free kick shooting percentage." This is a team that is on the rise across the board. ”

"The San Francisco 49ers are the most balanced team in the league in terms of stats, and they have a better chance of winning than the New Orleans Saints, but obviously, the game is not determined by the numbers, so let's focus on both teams." Spencer said in a coherent and methodical manner.

In fact, the efficiency of the San Francisco 49ers' defensive group this season has really exceeded people's expectations, because the defensive group has not been very consistent, has always had ups and downs, and relies more on the offensive group to win games; And the defensive group converts the ball and scores only at the bottom of the league.

With four weeks left in the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers were eighth in the league in defense, but in the final four games, they produced incredible numbers and finished third in the league. Overall, their defensive intensity is still not as strong as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.

But, as Spencer said, data is just data, and the game is not decided by data, otherwise, the Pittsburgh Steelers would not have lost to the Denver Broncos, and the Steelers, who are the league's No. 1 defensive team, were helpless in the face of the college wildcats, and they simply fell through everyone's glasses.

"I would say that the San Francisco 49ers are a young team and they lack experience, but this vibrancy is the key to their success. I believe that the 49ers are not the favourites against the Saints, and it is widely believed that Bliss will continue to set records, and what the 49ers do best is to beat their opponents when they are not favored. They don't lack quality, they don't lack confidence, they don't lack motivation, and I think that's going to be the key to the game. ”

Spencer's analysis was simple and unique, and he added, "We can refer to the first-round wildcard game of last year's playoffs. As the defending champions, the New Orleans Saints, faced the Seattle Seahawks, who were the first team in history to enter the playoffs, but fell off the chain at a critical moment and lost the game in the end, and we have enough reason to believe that the 49ers have a better chance this year than last year's Seahawks. ”

Under Spencer's aggressiveness, Charles's emotions almost got out of control again, but this time he finally suppressed it, but the tense voice still leaked the turbulent boiling in his heart, "Ridiculous!" ”

A reprimand once again showed his original style, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change.

However, Charles still realized that he had been in too much trouble recently, and on the cusp of the racial issue, he still swallowed those words that were out of control, and then made his position clear, "The Saints will not be tied to the same stone twice!" What's more, the 49ers' overall opponents this season are still too weak. ”

"This season, among the 49ers' opponents, only the Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinnati Tigers have made the playoffs ......"

Charles was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Spencer, "And in these five games, the 49ers have won four of them!" ”

Charles's voice also rose, and the green tendons on his neck burst out, "But among them, only the Tigers can win easily!" The other four games, all within one touchdown point, I mean, winning these tough battles is really admirable, and the temperament of the game in the key moments is commendable. ”

"However, the regular season is not a playoffs after all!" Charles put his hands down and came to a conclusion, "The same game, you can win in the regular season, but not necessarily in the playoffs." What's more, on the other side of the pitch right now are the New Orleans Saints, one of the teams in the best form this season. I don't think the regular season can be applied to the playoffs. ”

In other words, he doesn't think that Lu Ke will be able to continue to perform well after entering the playoffs.

What Charles didn't say was that Lu Ke's performance in the Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens was a disaster; In the face of the Pittsburgh Steelers' Monday night game, Lu Ke also danced on the tightrope; Now that he has come to the bigger stage of the playoffs, Lu Ke's performance is definitely worrying.

The reason why this hole card was not revealed was because it avoided the topic of sensitivity/sensitivity.

Deep down, Charles doesn't think the San Francisco 49ers can win.

In fact, even if Charles doesn't say it, everyone knows it in their hearts, and everyone sees the regular season games, and coming to the playoffs is naturally the best criterion.

The argument between Charles and Spencer is just a microcosm of the whole show, choosing the Saints or the 49ers is a dilemma, and there is no one right answer, no matter which team you choose, there are good reasons, you don't need to convince others, you just need to convince yourself.

So, Charles chose the Saints, and Spencer chose the 49ers.

Even Edward Bowen, who is the host, said that among the four divisional rounds of the second round, the most variable, closest and most exciting is this game.

The New England Patriots vs. the Denver Broncos, obviously the former has the upper hand, and the biggest attraction is Thibaud.

The Green Bay Packers vs. the New York Giants, the Giants' form in the regular season has been up and down, full of too many variables.

The Houston Texans vs. the Baltimore Ravens, fourth in the league defense versus second in the league, should be a dull matchup.

Many of the highlights of these three games are more just the focus of discussion on paper, and after actually entering the game, it is often easy to be disappointed; And the San Francisco 49ers' game against the New Orleans Saints is a real spark and full of expectations, especially the matchup between the two quarterbacks -

For neutral fans, attacking battles are always the best way to get the adrenaline pumping.

Now, all netizens are eagerly looking forward to the fact that this game can be a big battle in the 40s vs. 40s, and the discussion is easily off the table, even surpassing the racial discrimination incident in the regular season, the Monday night game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers set a new high this season.

Analysts and commentators "within the league" were also locked in a battle between heaven and man, and in a series of heated arguments, five men supported Charles and three supported Spencer.

At the end of the day, the New Orleans Saints are the more favored side.

It can be said that it is unexpected, or it can be said that it is expected. Once again, the San Francisco 49ers are still the underdogs. A similar drama has been played throughout the long season, and while the routine is extremely familiar, it is also irrefutable, so what about this time? Can the San Francisco 49ers still complete the counterattack?

……

Saturday, January 14, is another race day.

Today, the second round of the playoffs officially kicked off, and the two games that will be on the debut are the "old and new showdowns" that gather all the focus of the entire league!

At 1:30 p.m. Western time, the San Francisco 49ers' home game against the New Orleans Saints kicked off first; At eight o'clock in the evening Eastern time, the New England Patriots sat at home to welcome the visiting Denver Broncos as a night game, which detonated the topic.

Raymond Jackson, the court's administrator, still got up at four o'clock in the morning, entered the candelabra court under the starry sky, and began to walk around the court in a step-by-step manner, but his mind couldn't help but recall the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers two months ago.

No one believed the San Francisco 49ers would win the game, but they did, and beat the first snow in thirty-five years.

No one believed that the San Francisco 49ers would be able to beat the New Orleans Saints, but Raymond was convinced that they would still have the last laugh and be back in contention for the title.

If they are dark horses, then they will complete the counterattack and break all the rules; If they are strong players, then they will win the game with a strong momentum and will continue to be strong until the end.

Without any hesitation or hesitation, silently praying in my heart, the steps under my feet were so firm, step by step, as if I could clearly feel the cheers of the red sea of the whole audience, the noisy roars and shouts, so that the entire Candlestick Stadium began to tremble, and in the midst of the mountains and tsunamis, they reaped victory again and again.

After finishing the circle, Raymond couldn't help but clench his fist heavily, turned to face the faint court, and then raised his hands high, as if he could already touch the glory of victory, and his fingertips twisted slightly, the heat was surging, and the blood in his whole body ignited all over his body along his fingertips, and then began to gurgle and boil.

With brisk steps, Raymond left the court, but did not immediately start his work for the day, but walked towards the gate of the court, and in the distance you could see the bright lights, outlining an undulating outline, from the position of the ticket window at the door, all the way along the edge of the court.

Closer, closer, the appearance of the tent gradually became clearer, and the standing figures during the walk, formed a long queue, surrounding the entire Candlestick Field; Although the dawn had not yet broken at this time, the team in front of them was not groggily asleep, but chatting excitedly.

In the distance, the sound of the wind brought the sound of their lively conversation, as if it could depict in my mind the excitement and excitement of their long conversation all night, even if they had not slept all night, they were still in good spirits.

Raymond's footsteps stopped at the front of the line, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Why is the line getting longer and longer?" ”
