Chapter 1041 No way to start
Tight, urgent, hot, ready to move, the air is boiling.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Baltimore Ravens are in good shape and are still looking up, with an unstoppable and fiery attitude -
"You know what? Behind by twenty-one points, So, so what?
It’s that simple.
Just like the Kansas Chiefs in playoff mode in the 2017 season.
Pressure and heat waves are putting pressure on the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Baltimore Ravens are ready and ready to go.
There is no harm without comparison.
In contrast, the Kansas Chiefs seemed suppressed, dull and quiet, and even Levi did not shout loudly to the players.
The truth is——
Levi: It’s not necessary.
Dear fans, before you start bluffing and making noise, you should take a look at the scoreboard. The Kansas Chiefs are leading the score.
Panic?
Haha, it’s really not necessary.
The Kansas Chiefs completed the formation quickly and step by step.
Mahomes is very calm. If it were last season, he would inevitably be a little urgent and a little impatient, trying to quickly control the situation and suppress his opponents.
But being with Levi is like a stabilizing force. Mahomes knows that the Baltimore Ravens are far from forcing the Baltimore Ravens to the point where they are in disarray. He can stay focused and calm, and analyze the game calmly.
Then, Mahomes glanced at Levi -
He did it on purpose. He needed the opposing defensive team to notice their eye contact, but did not open his mouth to communicate, as if it was brewing. What's average.
After the eye contact was completed, Mahomes stood up straight and seemed ready to change tactics.
No.
Mahomes then bent over again, which made the air tighter and tighter——
The Baltimore Ravens know that this season Mahomes has an extra strategy to cheat early moves. At this time, they were preparing to rush the ball and apply pressure. Their body weight was fully pressed forward, and they were even more ready to move. They rushed out without paying attention.
In order to avoid an early foul, giving up five yards to the Kansas City Chiefs, and getting rid of the danger of a safety score at the front of the end zone, the Baltimore Ravens defensive team was fully tense, and their nerves and muscles were tense to the extreme.
Unfortunately, Mahomes did not announce the kickoff immediately.
Hubble is impressed. This is where Mahomes has matured this season. He knows how to observe the atmosphere and read the game, and how to control the rhythm and adjust his mentality.
At this moment, Mahomes is controlling the atmosphere, putting the Baltimore Ravens defense on the fire and quietly controlling the situation.
Hubble is a little nervous.
Sure enough!
Someone moved——
Levi.
“Motion”! See “Motion” again!
This is a killer move. The Kansas Chiefs didn't even give the Baltimore Ravens a chance to put pressure on the defensive front, disrupting the rhythm before the kickoff.
Normally, when "Motion" appears, the defensive team must respond.
Now, it's even more true after experiencing the Kansas Chiefs' "Motion" in the first half.
As mentioned before, in rugby games, there is a war room above the stadium, where the entire team, including team managers and professional data analysts, analyzes data and tactics in real time, not only for post-game summary, but also for Provide real-time feedback to the coaching team during the game.
During the halftime break, Hubble and the war room had already communicated -
No solution.
On the surface, there is nothing special about the Kansas Chiefs' tactics. They just create a half-second dislocation advantage through "Motion"; but in the actual game, Levi completely paralyzed the Baltimore Ravens' defense. , helpless.
The feedback from the war room is:
A "bug", comparable to a channel for cheating.
However, currently they have no strategy to solve it.
It is precisely because of this that the Baltimore Ravens defensive team adopted pass rush and pressure tactics more resolutely and tougher in the second half. The fundamental purpose was to create pressure and destroy the Kansas Chiefs' tactical layout. Then, expect Mahomes to make mistakes in pressure situations.
Even if Levi runs out of "Motion", as long as Mahomes passes the ball incorrectly, the football will not be delivered to Levi's arms.
Seven yards ahead of the end zone, when the Baltimore Ravens were speculating on how the Kansas Chiefs would choose tactics, they never expected Levi to start moving——
Is Mahomes ready to risk passing the ball? ?
What to do?
The Baltimore Ravens defensive team suddenly became tense. The atmosphere was tense enough just now, but now it is incredibly tense.
In the midst of tension, there are panic, determination, and murderous intent...all in different colors.
However, there is no time to hesitate.
The last time "Motion" happened, everything happened in the blink of an eye. After a little hesitation, this time "Motion" may have completed the attack.
For the first time, someone moved.
Ferguson and Judon are still them. After all, they are responsible for guarding Levi. No matter what tricks Levi is playing, Levi must move if he touches them.
However, the other players remained still, not distracted by Levi-
The Raid. Pass rush. Apply pressure. Strong. Determined.
At halftime, Hubble failed to find a solution to the Kansas Chiefs' new "Motion". He could only focus on Mahomes. Since they couldn't stop Levi, they should at least let Mahomes Holmes felt the impact.
Everyone performs their own duties, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes more tense and igniting.
Tap, tap, tap.
Levi moved laterally, switching from two yards to the right of Mahomes to behind Kelce and Hardman, and the pistol formation evolved into a shotgun formation.
In the first half, Levi continued to move sideways to the right and broke through from the sideline.
However, this time, Levi actually stopped behind Kelsey and Hardman.
Hubble:? ? ?
Ferguson and Judon:? ? ?
Here, Ferguson took the lead, preparing to bypass Kelsey and Humphrey's opposing positions in advance, cutting into the outside gap in advance to complete the interception.
As a result, just as he started to move, he saw Levi stop, but he couldn't stop, and his mind was filled with questions.
At this moment, Hardman has only one thought in his mind:
Levi believes you can do it.
Since Levi believes in him, then he can 100% do it.
Hardman was concentrating and paying close attention to Levi's movements. After confirming that Levi had stopped, Hardman took two steps back, passed through the passage behind Kelsey and in front of Levi, and took two horizontal steps to the right.
Not much, just two steps.
“Attack!”
Mahomes announced the kickoff, and in an instant, the Kansas Chiefs offense was fully activated.
Levi, charging forward vertically.
Kelsey, charging forward vertically.
Hardman, charging forward vertically.
In the flash of lightning, Humphrey and Kelsey were entangled, and Ferguson and Judun both rushed towards Levi.
One second, two seconds -
Mahomes has already made a pass.
To be precise, the pass was released in 1.5 seconds. The Baltimore Ravens' defensive front line was pressing the ball quickly and fiercely, but Mahomes stepped back to open up space without any hesitation and passed the ball quickly with a short pass. Football thrown out.
The whole movement is crisp and smooth.
The only difference from a quick short pass is that this pass is not a straight bullet pass, but a parabolic pass with a slight arc.
The parabola is not high, but it easily passes over the crowd and falls quickly.
Dropped nine yards out on the right sideline and found an unmarked man——
Hardman.
