Chapter 866 Annual Joke
"0:0".
At the end of the first quarter, the entire North American continent was completely stunned.
Are you sure this isn't a joke?
The two teams with the No. 1 and No. 2 offensive teams in the league this season, the two teams that both scored over 50 points in the "Super Bowl Half" and wrote history together, both scored in overtime in the Conference Finals. Two teams that relied on offensive touchdowns to win and advance to the Super Bowl——
That's it?
Even if it is a joke, is this joke too much?
Joking should be done in moderation!
What’s more, it’s not even funny.
One mistake after another, one tripped over oneself, both teams were acting like monkeys, it was ridiculous, and the game was completely unexciting.
Moreover, after much thought and consideration, the league still closed the roof of the Mercedes-Benz Dome even if it stopped raining in Atlanta, hoping that the two teams could dedicate a wonderful passing battle. After all, the league has always respected passing. Attack frenzy.
However, Goff's 1-for-5 pass rate is a disaster, and Mahomes' 4-for-9 pass rate is equally unimpressive. The ridiculous passing attack makes the league's deliberate moves look like a joke. , and this time there was no excuse for the weather to defend them.
What's going on?
Standing in the VIP box, Goodell's face was enigmatic and he couldn't tell what was going on. However, everyone in the room held their breath and moved lightly, fearing to make any noise, as if they were spinning around the dinosaur, with a side view. I can feel Goodell's emotions.
There is a saying that the Super Bowl is not good to watch, and it is not something that happens once or twice. There is no need to make a fuss; but the point this time is that after experiencing last year’s Super Bowl with soaring scores and experiencing the half-way of the Super Bowl to write history together, the fans’ The expectations have been pushed to a new level. As a result, the first quarter of the game was lethargic, and there was not even a decent duel. It was really difficult not to curse at the huge gap.
Maybe, the 2018 season is destined to be disappointing, just like the wild card divisional round; maybe, the conference finals are just a brief comeback; maybe, the half-way Super Bowl is the highlight of the entire season.
It has to be said that the 2018 season is indeed a fateful one, one after another, endless, even the Super Bowl is no exception.
Ratings figures, continued bleeding.
In the "Inside the Alliance" live broadcast room, all eyes were focused on Lawson——
Everything was just as Lawson expected.
Incredibly, the game progressed exactly according to Lawson's script. When there were many predictions before the game, only Lawson saw another possibility:
An unwelcome possibility.
Lawson sighed lightly. He would rather his judgment was wrong. Who doesn't want to enjoy a peak matchup that is comparable to the Super Bowl?
However, the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny, as it has always been.
"I personally think the two teams are facing slightly different situations now."
"The Kansas City Chiefs are so excited."
"The whole strength, speed, and emotion are so full that they are somewhat similar to the American League finals, including Levi and Reid. After all, the defense of the title is imminent. This is an incredible challenge that no one has been able to complete in fifteen years. It is also Seattle's The first team after the Seahawks to have such an opportunity, they have a hundred reasons to try to mobilize, but now they have mobilized too much and they need to calm down a little. "The Los Angeles Rams are too nervous."
"Whether McVay or Goff, they can't turn their heads, and their vision and horizons have not been opened. They are limited to the routines they are good at, trying to use the strategies and methods they are good at to open up the situation, and are completely unaware of the defense in front of them. The team is no longer the opponent it was during the Super Bowl. They hit the wall again and again, and the more they hit the wall, the more confused they become. Now they are standing still in the whirlpool, but they are still unconscious. "
"In the final analysis, it is still a matter of psychological state adjustment."
"The Kansas City Chiefs are too eager to defend their title. The Los Angeles Rams are too eager to reach the top. Moreover, both teams are too eager to replicate the smoothness and strength of the Super Bowl half. The more this happens, the more counterproductive it is. Interference on and off the field becomes another factor. A kind of shackles, which brings uncertainties invisibly.”
"So, instead, it was the defensive team that came back and played well with full concentration."
"But objectively speaking, Aaron Donald's performance is also lower than expected. He is too eager to suppress Mahomes and Levi, but it is easy to expose his own intentions. Currently, the best performance of the Los Angeles Rams defensive team is the defensive end. John-Franklin-Myers.”
"This rookie player with the 135th overall pick in the fourth round of this season had almost no performance throughout the season. He was just a substitute in the third rotation. However, he seized the opportunity on the Super Bowl stage and continued to provide Mahomes with good performance on the front line. He is the pacemaker of the current Los Angeles Rams defense."
"The problem is that Meyers himself may not realize this. He cannot help the Los Angeles Rams defense get back on track, or Donald needs to calm down and control his desire and enthusiasm within a reasonable range."
Confident and well-founded.
This time, Lawson did not analyze from the technical aspects, but presented the other side of the game from the psychological level.
After all, there is nothing worth analyzing on a technical level.
Bart has been patient, waiting for the right opportunity to cut in, "So, where do you think the key turning point in the game is now? I bet you will say Levi."
Faced with Bart's aggressive provocation, Lawson didn't mind, "I think the key turning point in the game is when the leaders of the two teams can regain their focus and when they can help the team return to normal rhythm. Disruption is a matter of minutes.”
"Whoever can complete this step first will have the upper hand; if two teams complete this step one after another, the game will become exciting."
"This, indeed, includes Levi. On the offensive team, Mahomes and Levi, Goff and Gurley; on the defensive team, Houston and Donald."
Without hesitation, Bart asked, "It seems that you still believe that the Kansas Chief can complete this step first?"
Lawson nodded honestly, "I believe in Levi, and I also believe in Houston. They are adjusting; of course, the Los Angeles Rams are also aware of this. Now it's time to test Goff and Donald's ability to adjust on the spot."
After a pause, Lawson looked at Bart, "Do you still believe that the Los Angeles Rams can complete the adjustment first?"
Bart did not hesitate, "Of course. In fact, if this game ends up being a defensive duel, I think the Los Angeles Rams' winning percentage should continue to increase. I don't see a reason for the Los Angeles Rams to lose now. If they lose, I Would love to kiss a donkey’s ass.”
Boom, boom boom boom.
Social Network: What?
Netizens who were originally drowsy due to the first quarter of the game suddenly became energetic. What did Bart from "Inside the League" just say?
Kiss a donkey's ass?
At this time, the Internet finally exploded.
