Chapter 26 A Game
Whether running back or quarterback, their outstanding performance can never be separated from an excellent offensive line.
In football games, the offensive line is responsible for protecting and opening the way. Their pick-and-roll interception intercepts the enemy's first wave of impact, thereby creating opportunities for the running back and quarterback.
Therefore, when people evaluate the performance of running backs and quarterbacks, they can never do without the additional options of the offensive line:
If you have a top offensive line, it is not unusual for running backs and quarterbacks who are 60% to perform at 80%, and the evaluation needs to be discounted.
On the contrary, if faced with an offensive line riddled with holes, and the running backs and quarterbacks who scored 60% perform at 80%, it would be a miracle, that is, they carry the entire offensive team forward.
The Crimson Tide Storm have a good offensive line, which may not be top-notch, but it is also in the first tier of the NCAA. This is why the team's running backs have repeatedly been able to win space to run the ball.
At this time, the same is true.
Bateman arranges the tactics, and the running back prepares to break through the middle, that is, advance from the defensive team's key area. It is an impossible task to rely solely on the running back's own physical collision, and he will soon fall into the quagmire of the crowd tactics. ;The running back needs the offensive line to open and cover.
The Crimson Tide Storm’s offensive line did it——
Wow.
The five offensive linemen were like pushing open a thousand-pound door, separated by two on the left and three on the right, pushing away the accumulation of defensive lines on the opposite side.
Then, a thin and straight passage appeared in front of Levi.
Levi, with a kick of his feet, exploded in an instant, started in an instant, and ran out like a rabbit. In just two or three steps, he had already crossed the line of scrimmage.
Whoosh!
One step forward, sideways forward, assuming the mode of forcibly pushing forward with a bulldozer.
In rugby games, the middle is often an area where troops are heavily stocked. If the running back chooses to push through the middle, he is using his strength and body to forcefully push the earth. This is a head-on confrontation. Although it is clumsy, it can achieve miraculous results——
Especially the one-yard-two-yard advance, which is also jokingly called "one yard arching", just like a pig arching cabbage.
Levi is not a powerful running back. His advancement route is more concentrated on the wings and even the side, using his observation and explosive power to find breakthroughs; but precisely because of this, this offense is to seize the stereotype. Impression went in the opposite direction and sought a breakthrough in the middle.
From the beginning, the goal was clear -
Not greedy. Two yards is enough, as long as they gain two yards and get the first attack, then they continue their strategy, playing steadily and step by step.
down to earth.
So, Levi gets ready.
He knew that hard contact was not his strong point. From the beginning, he bent down, shouldered, and adopted a defensive posture to withstand the impact of pressure. He faced the difficulty, actively faced the impact, and continued to move forward across the line of scrimmage.
One yard.
Two yards.
In an instant, two yards were obtained.
Obviously, the red team's defensive team failed to interpret the white team's offensive intentions.
Throughout today's game, the white team's offense was very aggressive and risky. Levi, who was responsible for the offensive, was running all over the court, but at this moment he chose to play steadily, and with a fake run and a real pass, he successfully advanced the big number. The number laid a good foundation for the white team's offensive team. Both Allen and Foster made mistakes in their judgment. They did not surround the center immediately.
First attack, got it.
Chance!
Levi did not feel the expected violent impact or fierce grapple. He smelled the opportunity for a fight at the first moment, kept his body in a crouched defensive posture, kicked off the ground with full force, and seized the opportunity to advance immediately.
Bang!
Half step, the gap of continuous advancement was only half a step. Levi had just started to hit the wall and hit a wall of flesh hard, but Levi was not surprised.
This is the risk of choosing to advance in the middle. Even if the defensive team makes a mistake in judgment, the defense in the middle will be very fast; and the Crimson Tide Storm's defensive team has four linebackers, so the human shield facing the running back will be extremely thick.
Levi was ready, which was why he didn't look up in a hurry.
Crash!
Kick the ground!
break out! Like a pangolin, Levi turned sideways and hit hard with his shoulders. From bottom to top, he flipped up with the force of a frontal impact.
"Strength vs Power".
ah! Ahhhh!
"Front VS Front".
boom!
There was a roar above the eardrum, and Levi could feel the center of gravity of the wall of flesh collapsing backwards. The reaction force stirred up the internal organs and rolled, but the energy deep in Levi's dantian continued to burn and release.
An accident, a counterpoint, forced a breakthrough.
Surprising in terms of strategy and confrontation in execution, the game between offense and defense has already come to an end. However, Levi's offense is not over yet——
The first attack has been achieved, so no matter how much you advance next, you will gain.
Kicking off his left leg, he used the force of the impact and the human shield in front of him as a support to rotate counterclockwise, removing all the inertia of the reaction force. Then he finally raised his head and surveyed the chaotic scene ahead.
Sweep.
That is to say, with a quick glance, the positions of the red lights and shadows came into view. He could not see the faces clearly, but he could still catch the moving trend of the red halo. Levi's brain started to work quickly, grasping the space——
Lateral to the right, Foster is approaching.
Diagonally ahead on the left, another linebacker is coming back and making a quick cross.
Diagonally behind the right side, an invisible defensive lineman is making a U-turn.
Behind the left side, the linebacker who had just been knocked away was trying to pull Levi away. Even at the risk of a pulling foul, Levi could not get away easily.
Directly ahead, two safeties were approaching, with strongback Harrison taking the lead.
Behind him, where his eyes couldn't see, he could still feel a wave of heat and pressure hitting his back like a huge wave, and his skin was burning.
Besieged on all sides, ambushed on all sides.
But, not surprisingly, this is what happens when pushing forward in the middle.
So, what will legendary NFL running back Adrian Peterson do at this time?
The experience and experience of three-week superstar template training made Li Wei extremely calm. He had already made a judgment and made a choice in a flash——
Anyway, the first attack has been obtained, so let them have some fun, how about it?
A smile crept up the corner of his mouth.
You can taste the taste of blood on the tip of your tongue, adrenaline bursts into bloom in the blood, and the game begins.
Everything was in his mind for a moment, and before he could even take a breath, Levi had already controlled himself.
Take a step forward, take a step, but it is not just a random step, but to the left, then circle and finally to the right, like a waltz, bypassing the linebacker diagonally behind on the left and then around Fosse on the right. Special, finally changing position to the position behind the linebacker just now.
A circle.
Just think of the poor linebacker as a pillar. Levi was in front of the pillar just now, but now he avoided Foster's flying dive and came to the back of the pillar.
It seems simple, but it's actually complicated.
It looks fancy, but is actually clean.
Foster's eyes hidden behind his helmet widened and almost fell out——
What...what's going on?
He didn't expect Levi to break through the middle, nor did he expect Levi's advanced passing action, which completely treated the two linebackers like monkeys.
ESPN commentator Pash revealed the truth in one word.
"Adrian Peterson!"
