Chapter 1169 Full of chicken blood
"Focus! Hey, focus!"
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa kept high-fiving his teammates and trying to cheer him up.
Although they are not surprised by the Kansas Chiefs' strategy of opening the situation with offense, this does not mean that the Los Angeles Chargers defense has a countermeasure.
There is no way, this defensive team is indeed scarred and lame fighting.
What's more, the Kansas Chiefs' offensive team is undoubtedly the top in the league. They are not timid when facing any defensive team, and have the courage and strength to confront any opponent head-on.
At the beginning of the game, the Los Angeles Lightning defensive team lost themselves in the opponent's short and fast offensive storm. They were already losing ground before they even had time to gain a foothold. They were already standing in their own half of the court before they had time to understand what was happening.
The wind and rain were blowing hard, leaving almost no breathing space.
Looking around, you can clearly see that the Los Angeles Chargers defensive players are out of breath——
This is only the fifth level of offense and defense.
The main reason is the mental pressure and difficulty, so that the steps are heavy and the physical exertion may be two or three times more intense than usual.
The situation is not good.
Bosa noticed it immediately.
Joey Bosa, the No. 3 pick in the 2016 draft, was Levi's predecessor. This defensive end was born into a high-profile football family in the league.
His father, John Bosa, is a former Miami Dolphins defensive end.
His younger brother, Nick Bosa, is the second pick in this year's draft and a defensive end for the San Francisco 49ers.
In addition, his cousin, uncle, maternal grandfather, and great-grandfather are all rugby players. Not only his father's line, but also his mother's line are all athletes.
Moreover, the defensive bloodline has been passed down all the way.
Joey Bosa won the title of Defensive Rookie of the Year in his first season in the league, and Nick Bosa is also performing very well and stands out as a competitive player for the Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Entering the fourth grade, Joey Bosa has more expectations for his career——
After all, if you don't work hard, your rookie contract will end, and a whole new world will follow.
However, in the end, the Los Angeles Chargers reached their current position, standing on the edge of the cliff, facing a game with no retreat, and they still faced the Kansas City Chiefs.
They want to win and they believe they can win.
This is not empty talk.
But they also know that if they want to win this victory, containing the Kansas Chiefs offense is the first thing; however, they are now losing ground.
Things are not going well.
The attention of the Los Angeles Chargers has always been on Levi. Whether it is the past three weeks or the overall game this season, Levi is proving his value as the number one player in the league. The Kansas Chiefs offense has taken a step further. How to contain Levi? It has also become the most troublesome problem for all teams.
However, Reid slightly broke expectations and handed over the entire offense to Mahomes. Mahomes, who had returned from injury, seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. He felt hot in his hand and easily opened up the situation with a smooth attack.
what to do?
Bosa took a deep breath and found a trace of calmness in the chaos——
What the Kansas Chiefs offense is so-called good at is disrupting the rhythm and confusing the audience. When their defense focuses on passing the ball, Levi's ground attack will teach them a lesson; When guarding the ground, Mahomes will make opponents aware of Reid's special skills on the passing end.
As a mortal enemy in the same district, the Los Angeles Chargers know this well.
Therefore, when facing the Kansas Chiefs, the most important thing is to stay calm and focused, and not to be led into the ditch by them.
"Focus!" Bosa shouted loudly, without any unnecessary words. The fighting spirit in his eyes was burning, and the murderous intent hidden behind him was revealed bit by bit.
On the side, the linebackers were panting and sweating. People who didn't know better thought they had been fighting for two hours, which made them look embarrassed.
Thomas Davis, Denzel Perryman, etc. all shouted out.
Focus! Focus!
Morale was finally ignited.
Defensive end Melvin-Ingram on the other side turned to look at Bosa, a smile creeping onto his lips.
Maybe some people are curious, how did the Los Angeles Chargers defeat the Kansas Chiefs last season? This season, how did the Los Angeles Chargers, with a roster full of injured players and an incomplete lineup, cling to the game and even knock off the Green Bay Packers?
The answer, the defensive front.
Although the defensive second line is fragmented, the Los Angeles Chargers' defensive front line has the foundation and strength. The new and old lineup has both experience and vitality. Almost every player has his or her own skills. They are truly capable blue-collar players who are hard-working and good-quality at a good price. Lian still showed outstanding performance in difficult situations this season.
Apply pressure. Pass rush. ground. Short pass.
Everything is covered!
The performance of the Los Angeles Chargers defensive team relies heavily on the state of the defensive front. Since the start of today's game, Reid has grabbed the defensive front from seven inches to spread out the layout, relying on rhythm and running to tear open gaps, and pass the ball smoothly. Head-on attack on the Los Angeles Chargers' strengths.
Moreover, it directly suppressed the morale of the Los Angeles Chargers.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Bosa recognized this immediately, established their footing, and rekindled the fighting spirit of the defensive front. They couldn't afford to get bogged down in the opening period.
There was no breathing time or opportunity to communicate. The Kansas Chiefs offensive team had already lined up again. The Los Angeles Chargers defensive team had no time to discuss the countermeasures in detail. They could only clench their fists, grit their teeth, and quickly line up.
It all depends on passion.
Taking a long breath, Bosa quietly listened to the roar of his heart beating wildly——
Continue to press the pass rusher?
Since the start of the game, Mahomes has continued to shorten his shot time. The pressure from the defensive front often fails before he can even break the pocket.
Thankless.
Now I see them all panting like cows but still at a disadvantage.
However, when rushing the pass and applying pressure, you still have to maintain intensity!
Because Bosa knows that this is the purpose of the Kansas Chiefs' offensive tactics. As long as the intensity and intensity of their defensive front pressure are reduced, Mahomes and Levi's dazzling tactical cooperation will immediately blossom without mercy.
Even if they burn energy, they have to keep pressing.
Plop, plop.
The roar of his heartbeat was surging above his eardrums. Bosa's muscles tightened and he stared at Mahomes and Levi intently. His whole body was like a beast ready to go. His right foot continued to push the ground and the accelerator roared.
Boom, boom!
"Attack!"
Mahomes announced the kickoff. Bosa did not hesitate, hesitate or pause. He kicked his feet suddenly, like a decisive battle in a 100-meter race. His body rushed out light and agile, his eyes locked on Mahomes, regardless of whether he could When it comes to Mahomes, he has to keep the pressure on.
A shoulder bump and a wave of hands.
His footsteps have already bypassed the offensive line, and he cuts into the pocket with lightning speed. He immediately pays attention to Mahomes's movements, and is about to step forward with all his strength to exert pressure——
Levi.
Mahomes hands the football to Levi.
