Chapter 1141 No one’s land


Chapter 1141 No Man’s Land

Understatement, leisurely stroll——

In the 2017 season, Levi made a comeback.

Indeed, the Minnesota Vikings carefully studied the game tape, and the Kansas Chiefs' passing attack has been completely upgraded this season.

Overwhelmed.

It's not just "cheating motion", the entire route running and screening layout is fully laid out. The two receivers, Watkins and Hardman, serve as decoys most of the time but also have the ability to catch the ball, ensuring that the Kansas Chiefs The passing attack can spread the firepower.

After Mahomes was accidentally injured, Moore temporarily took over the team's helmsman position. Reid consciously reduced the strategy of long passes and sneak attacks in the backfield, focusing on the route coordination of short and medium passes. Coupled with Levi's diversity, he launched the "Chiefs Special" ", to ensure the lightness and variety of the team's offense as much as possible.

It was under such circumstances that the Minnesota Vikings adopted a more targeted defensive strategy.

On the one hand, the front line continues to put pressure on Moore. After all, Moore is not Mahomes. His on-the-spot performance under pressure may fall off a cliff. Once Moore is disconnected, Levi will be unable to do anything alone.

On the other hand, the frontcourt adopts a zone defense, which does not specifically target one player, but scatters the net, focusing on blocking passing routes. After all, Moore and Levi's passing abilities are limited and the routes cannot be opened.

This also means that they often use routines that have been practiced many times in training, and do not have the ability of Mahomes to read the second defense and change the passing strategy. So, as long as it is a routine, it means there are traces to follow, and Minnesota maintains Kyoto can plan in advance through repeated study of game videos.

From top to bottom, we are united.

The Minnesota Vikings' desire to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs head-on is definitely not just a casual statement.

They mean it.

However, such a strategy faces a problem——

Ground attack.

More specifically, Levi.

Levi, a variable, a factor, the core weapon of the Kansas Chiefs' offense.

Some laymen may question: The entire league knows that Levi is the leader of the Kansas City Chiefs. Why do the Minnesota Vikings focus on passing defense instead of ground defense? Is it because they look down on Levi?

It cannot be said that the Minnesota Vikings do not have such thoughts at all, but this time, the Minnesota Vikings did think carefully.

Indeed, in the absence of Mahomes, the Kansas Chiefs' passing offense may encounter problems, forcing Reid to focus on the ground attack; however, Reid also knows that Levi's strategic position has been exposed. If they hope to pass Lee Wei opened up the situation and relied on the passing attack to share the focus to relieve pressure on the ground. This is the way to go, and the passing attack must play smarter.

It is precisely because of this that the Minnesota Vikings relied on passing defense to stifle Moore's firepower and gain the advantage of ground defense.

At the same time, it's not that the Minnesota Vikings didn't consider Levi. If they don't consider Levi when they play against the Kansas Chiefs in the NFL, that would be asking for death. However, the Minnesota Vikings didn't choose to send someone to guard Levi alone.

Because they know that counter-marking cannot completely restrict Levi, because they know that counter-marking tactics often fall into the trap of Levi acting as a bait.

Rather than sacrificing one player to face off against Levi ineffectively, it is better to adopt a team strategy and rely on collective strength to form a confrontation.

Strategies are the result of in-depth discussions with the entire coaching team.

They have been studying the Kansas Chiefs' routines and trying to formulate a clear strategy from the team level to contain the Kansas Chiefs' offense.

On paper, the Minnesota Vikings have the right strategy.

However, does Reed really just sit back and wait for his opponent to study him thoroughly?

Apparently not.

Against the Green Bay Packers, everything was unexpected. They had to improvise. Behind the changeable tactics was Reid's confusion and panic.

After the game, Mahomes was determined to miss the game. Reid had time to sit at the tactical table and calmly think about the overall situation. The situation was naturally different.

Compared with Mahomes, Moore's mobility and variability are not at the same level. The Kansas Chiefs need to rely on more routine tactics to ensure the power of the passing attack; but routines often mean rigidity, and they also mean It may have been exposed to opponents long ago.

Therefore, the Kansas City Chiefs need to make full use of the variables in the routine to create chaos. So, who else could be more suitable than Levi?

In most teams in the league, there are routines for ground attack. The offensive line opens the way, the tight end picks up, the coordination of double running, etc. The Kansas Chiefs are no exception. An excellent ground attack requires the support of a system. , these are undeniable facts.

But what’s special about Levi is that in the Kansas Chiefs’ ground attack system, he is able to create waves through his defensive reading and on-the-spot response. In the tit-for-tat confrontation, he can complete breakthroughs according to the situation. This way Variability is Levi’s trump card as the league’s top running back——

It is precisely because of this that Levi's average yards are so abnormal, and long-distance runs and fatal touchdowns have often become the key to changing the game.

Even Levi himself is not sure where to go next, let alone the defensive team?

So, this scene appeared.

Stopping and turning suddenly, changing directions instantly, tossing and turning, the speed and rhythm are always unpredictable.

Elusive and unable to start, Li Wei used his light and agile steps to turn into a streak of light in the tight and airtight dragnet in front of him.

"Grapple! Impact!"

"Levi changed direction and easily got rid of defensive end Danielle Hunter (Danielle-Hunter)."

"Linebacker Eric Kendricks is stepping up to help."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Marseille Slalom!"

"Levi's footsteps completed a 360-degree rotation in the gap, and he completed the escape against Kendricks' body. Kendricks looked like a stiff puppet, watching helplessly as Levi completed the unbelievable feat so close to him. The play was a direct hit, and Levi had found room to advance.”

"Defensive end Everson-Griffen hit!"

"Griffin flew out desperately trying to stop Levi."

"Crash!"

"Beautiful! Levi, wow, it's unbelievable! Levi sensed the crisis in advance, forcibly increased his speed, and missed Griffin's desperate impact at absolute speed."

"Titanic avoided the iceberg this time!"

"Incredible! Incredible!"

"Levi! Levi is still going on, and now there are only two safeties left in the Minnesota Vikings end zone."

"Levi is speeding up and sprinting. Safety Harrison Smith is doing his best to catch up. The four-time Pro Bowl veteran is trying to become the last gate for the Minnesota Vikings defense!"


"However!"

"Levi, change direction. Oh, change direction again!"

"Harrison Smith missed the point!"

"Levi! Levi! Strolling! Easy! Harrison Smith didn't even touch Levi's jersey!"

"Levi, break through, march forward!"

"Touchdown!"

"Without a doubt, touchdown!"

"Levi kicked off the Kansas City Chiefs' run with a 57-yard touchdown run!"
