Chapter 1011: Adapt to circumstances
Levi: Hardman, do you have confidence in speed?
Hardman couldn't control his excitement and nodded repeatedly——
speed? This is his trump card.
In this year's rookie training camp, Hardman made a splash with his speed. In the 40-yard dash, he ran an astonishing 4.33 seconds.
What level is this?
The current best 40-yard time record in rookie training camp is 4.32 seconds.
Levi's 40-yard time in rookie training camp was 4.38 seconds.
It's clear at a glance.
In other words, in terms of absolute speed, Hardman is even better.
After all, Levi is the running back and Hardman is the wide receiver.
Hardman is obviously very confident in his speed.
Therefore, this is also the role Hardman plays in this offense——
"Sprint with all your might. I'll cover you."
Hardman is able to clearly capture the sincerity and focus in Levi's eyes.
"Listen, if I rush out, all eyes will be on me and they will assume Sherlock's pass is for me."
"So, I'm covering for you."
incredible!
Hardman couldn't believe his ears. He could play alongside Levi, and Levi also covered for him, and he was the target of the pass.
Just imagining it almost gave Hardman a cerebral hemorrhage.
After trying his best, Hardman could barely control his excitement and excitement, finally reined in his rationality and regained his focus.
"Attack!"
When the kickoff call sounded, Hardman stepped on the ground and rushed out immediately.
Ah, oops.
Hardman immediately realized that he was too anxious——
In the first half, he controlled the speed, ran the route, and made short and medium passes, allowing Hill to take the lead in breaking the deadlock and attracting the attention of the second line of defense.
In the second half, release speed and rely on absolute speed to escape and break through.
Hardman had to control himself a little bit and not get too carried away.
But this is not an easy thing. He realizes that Levi is behind him, realizes that he is the hidden weapon in this offense, and realizes that he is teasing the defensive team in front of him. For Hardman, All this is as beautiful as a dream.
Control, control again.
However, after rushing ten yards, he noticed the defensive players approaching quickly on the left and right sides. The left linebacker and the right cornerback were preparing to close the door to defend.
If he encounters a wall, the speed advantage may not be released. Hardman is a little anxious and has trouble controlling his speed, trying to force a breakthrough with speed before the door is closed.
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.
The power is released, the speed is increased, the wind roars on the eardrums, and Hardman rushes forward with all his strength.
Ramsey noticed something was wrong immediately.
According to the plan, Ramsey was guarding Kelsey. Kelsey retreated, Levi and Hardman overlapped and rushed vertically -
This is not normal.
Ramsey had no time to observe and judge. He relied entirely on intuition and reacted reflexively. He immediately gave up guarding Kelsey, subconsciously kept up with Levi and Hardman, increased his speed step by step, maintained a parallel position, and While running wildly, he looked around and observed what was happening.
Then Hardman picked up the speed. Ramsey was immediately alert.
Originally, Ramsey's attention was entirely on Levi——
No matter what the situation is, Levi can never be underestimated. Levi always focuses on marking duels.
He thought that Hardman should screen and screen for Levi, and the focus should still be on Levi.
But now!
Hardman had just left the short passing area, and Hardman had already begun to speed up, and Ramsey immediately sounded the alarm.
First, Mahomes is still moving and there is no sign of passing the ball.
Secondly, Hardman's 40-yard speed is a highlighted keyword. When preparing for the game, the defensive coach mentioned many times that Hardman has the same ability to speed up instantly as Hill.
Thirdly, even if he moves ahead and rushes to the front, he can still retreat at any time to mark Levi who is following behind.
Fourth, linebacker Quincy Williams was approaching quickly on the other side. Judging from Quincy's eyes and movements, he didn't notice Hardman's movements, and his attention was entirely on Levi. .
In the blink of an eye, there are thousands of thoughts in my mind, and all kinds of thoughts collide quickly. My body has already reacted one step ahead of my brain and followed suit.
Kill decisively!
Simple and neat!
Ramsey knows that the key to facing players with good speed like Hill and Levi is to get stuck in position and stick to the body as soon as possible:
They cannot be allowed to release their speed, otherwise they will become passive later on.
If you are not careful, once you miss the opportunity, you will inevitably pull people and helmets. Rough defensive fouls are landmines that may explode at any time.
The same goes for Hardman.
Hardman has just started and is accelerating. Ramsey has already completed two big strides in an instant, pushing his speed to the extreme in just five or ten yards.
Then, he took a step laterally to the left, bumped into Hardman with his shoulder, and used his body to squeeze. The force and speed continued to collide.
collision. extrusion. friction.
Ramsey and Hardman were fighting for the lane, stumbling and stumbling across the midfield line.
Hardman tried to use his absolute speed to get rid of Ramsey, but at this time Ramsey showed his ability as a top cornerback, relying on his shoulders to get stuck in the position, trying to get one step ahead of Hardman, even if he withstood the impact of Hardman's speed. The force formed a suppression, entangled tightly, and refused Hardman's escape.
On the sidelines, Quincy noticed this scene——
Speed is not his advantage.
Quincy is a small man, a little shorter than Levi, but a bit heavier than Levi. Because of this, the young linebacker was not favored in this year's draft and was not selected until the third round.
Although speed is not an advantage, strength, confrontation and explosion are his strengths.
At this time, Quincy noticed the entanglement between Ramsey and Hardman. He immediately realized that Levi was waiting for an opportunity, and without waiting for Levi to react, he took the lead and slammed into Levi.
Quincy's judgment was correct, Levi was indeed ready to launch.
Their advancement has already crossed the midfield line. If they don't start at this time, they may not be able to enter the deep area in time. Even the 100-meter flyer needs time to complete the entire process of starting, speeding up, stabilizing and sprinting, not to mention that they are passers. The target also needs to adjust his steps to complete the ball.
It must be started.
Just before Levi was about to start, Quincy cut inside without hesitation and assumed a squeezing posture on the surface, but the entire right shoulder and arm muscle lines were completely tight, which could be clearly seen during high-speed movement. With the accumulation of strength, he rushed towards Li Wei in a mighty manner.
Levi was about to start, but he suddenly stopped and stopped suddenly.
Quincy, who was moving at high speed, watched Levi "step back" and stagger his position. He stopped in a panic, but he didn't expect that Levi had already started the second time, waiting for him to follow step by step after the second start. At that time, I found that the rhythm could no longer keep up with the sudden stops and turns.
Levi took a sideways step to the left, cut across Quincy's back, switched from Quincy's right side to his left side, and released his speed instantly.
Quincy:? ? ? Where are people?
