Chapter 827 The door is wide open


Chapter 827 The door is wide open
Belichick has always been wary that Mahomes’ outstanding physical talent may play a key role, and this is indeed the case; but he never expected that it was not running the ball but splitting. Mahomes James assisted in the road attack, opened the way for Levi, and completed a crucial breakup.

Hightower groaned and watched helplessly as Levi's figure floated past his fingertips, leaving only a red afterimage.

Grass!
Roberts' reaction was slightly slower than Hightower's. In the process of taking a step forward, he immediately noticed that Levi was coming towards him like a fireball. His speed, strength, and momentum were far beyond imagination, and he didn't have time. Blinking, the red figure has doubled in size in his pupils.

Roberts took a deep breath, held his breath, and braced for impact.

However, the collision did not occur.

A gust of wind came from ahead, slapping his cheeks, and the red figure could no longer be caught in front of his eyes, only the torn bag, and Roberts's muscles were stretched to the extreme, standing in place, like a wooden stake.

"Change direction!"

"Beautiful, Levi used a beautiful change of direction to turn Roberts into a wooden stake and regain the space to advance."

"The door is wide open!"

"It's unbelievable that the middle of the New England Patriots defense is wide open right now and Levi is driving through."

"Five yards!"

"Ten yards!"

"The first attack is easy!"

"Fifteen yards!"

"The Chung family saved the New England Patriots. He and safety Mike Coutry were stuck in position in time. Levi did not insist on advancing recklessly and fell to the ground with the ball, stopping the ground advancement at sixteen yards."

"Wonderful!"

"Just now we were discussing the dilemma that the Kansas City Chiefs may face and the potential opportunities that the New England Patriots have in the next two offenses."

"With a single turn, Levi has already solved the problem for the team. He picked it up at his fingertips and took a leisurely stroll. Like a magician, he has successfully escaped from the red zone with a snap of his fingers..."

Levi did not celebrate grandly, and did not even look at the Zhong family and McCoutry. He turned around and greeted the Kansas Chiefs offensive team to continue their preparations——

He is not satisfied with this.

In fact, the body is still not very coordinated. Although the cramp has recovered, the continuous secretion of lactic acid still prevents the muscles from completely relaxing, so that the entire balance is unstable when running.

It was precisely because of this that Levi did not force a breakthrough. When he saw the encirclement, the first attack was already in hand, and he simply fell to the ground.

Then, turn around and continue organizing the next attack.

At this moment, the team's overall offensive rhythm is more important than one person's heroic feat. They need to strategically control the rhythm of the game and complete the breakthrough before the New England Patriots gain a foothold.

Next, is the opportunity——

First, Brady encountered an interception at the front of the end zone and wasted a winning chance; then, the defensive team completely misjudged the situation and tactics at the front of the end zone, allowing Levi to lead the Kansas Chiefs out of the predicament without any blood.

Two things, one after the other, happened so fast that the situation was overturned in an instant. Even veteran Belichick could not react quickly. The Kansas Chiefs must seize the opportunity to quickly take over the rhythm of the game.

Levi noticed it, so he didn't celebrate. He immediately lined up and prepared. He and Mahomes exchanged glances and reminded him. Mahomes understood it and immediately noticed the change in the situation.

Then, Mahomes quickly followed up——

Ten yards in first gear.

The New England Patriots did not hesitate to once again choose five people to rush the pass. With Levi's split, Mahomes gained valuable observation time. During the continuous retreat, Mahomes chose three yards. Short pass. The target of the pass is...Kelsey.

Kelsey was positioned on the left side of the team's formation, running vertically, turning 90 degrees, and using lateral movement to pass the gap between the linebacker and the defensive front, and finally completed the ball in the slot on the right. Turn around and push forward.

The New England Patriots defense...was unmarked.

After Kelsey completed the ball, he advanced easily and got the first attack before he fell to the ground after being double-teamed by three people, just like picking something out of a bag.

It’s still ten yards in first gear.

The New England Patriots continue to press the pass rush, this time with a six-man rush, and they are about to take advantage because Levi also rushes out as a receiver. There is no one to cover for Mahomes and the pocket is completely open. .

However, at the critical moment, Mahomes made a short pass in time, and then was hit and sacked by Hightower. He fell to the ground in a panic, but the football still drew a parabola.

A seven-yard short pass, but in order to buy time, Mahomes raised the parabola high, which was comparable to a moon ball, giving the defensive team an opportunity to intercept.

But he didn't expect that there was no defensive player in the direction of the pass. Kelsey completed the ball without encountering any defensive pressure, turned around and easily won the first attack, continuing his simple and efficient offensive mode.

The situation is a bit delicate.

"The New England Patriots defense made consecutive errors of judgment."

Romo has a sharp eye, grasps the key points at once, and points out the key points in the chaos.

"On the last defense, the New England Patriots thought Mahomes might choose to pass the ball long. Levi's split and Mahomes' pocket steps confuse the audience. In addition, Hill's fake deep-area running, Kyle Xi’s short pass was unguarded and he easily completed the ball.”

"In this defense, the New England Patriots tried to disrupt Mahomes' rhythm with a surprise attack. Mahomes did feel the pressure, but at the same time, Mahomes also saw through the weakness of the opponent's man-to-man defense. Levi and Kelsey completed a cross-over switch, and Kelsey won the gap again and completed the ball without being defended. "

"Now, there are serious problems with the judgment of the New England Patriots' defensive team, and they made continuous mistakes in judgment. The Kansas Chiefs maintained their concentration very well, and continued to use tactical layout to create advantages and enter their own rhythm."

"The key point is that the Kansas Chiefs now refuse to give their opponents time to breathe. The entire offensive rhythm continues to be high-frequency, and they have been compressing the gathering time, driving the process in a simple and efficient way, and involving the opponent in their own rhythm."

"That's what the Kansas City Chiefs do best throughout the regular season."

pause!

Belichick called a timeout.

In the overtime of the playoffs, all regular time timeout opportunities are invalidated. Instead, the two teams will get three new opportunities.

However, the knowledge of using timeouts in overtime is obviously different from that in regular time.

Belichick sensed the crisis and did not hesitate. He immediately used a timeout to disrupt the rhythm and brought the New England Patriots back from the edge of the cliff——

They couldn't let the Kansas City Chiefs get into a comfortable rhythm they were familiar with.

From a tactical perspective, Belichick does not think there is a problem with his arrangement. The main reason is that mentality, atmosphere, physical fitness, etc. affect the execution, so that there may be some deviations in the reaction speed during the game. This slight deviation is reflected in the ever-changing game. This will lead to such a situation.

Therefore, what Belichick needs to do is to calm the defensive team's mentality.

That's enough.

After returning from the timeout, the New England Patriots once again showed the style of a strong team, quickly regaining their footing and regaining their sanity, leaving all the miscellaneous thoughts behind, and giving it a try without hesitation. The entire intensity and rhythm improved comprehensively. Then, the defensive team finally showed its performance. own style.
