Chapter 68 One yard online
Clark was a little confused.
The debut moment that I have always dreamed of came and ended in a daze, just like a dream.
It was over before I even had time to feel it.
Despite this, the smile on Clark's lips fully bloomed, and he cheered to Levi who came on stage, clenching his fists and jumping up.
"Ah! Ahhh!"
Without words, he is just a merciless screaming machine, but that is enough——
He, Ronnie Clark, finally made his first appearance on behalf of the Crimson Tide Storm in two years. It was not a training match or a warm-up match, but an official match.
Season opener at AT&T Arena.
Although he doesn't know what the future will bring, this moment is Clark's happiest time.
Terry did the same, raising his fists in the air and shouting unswervingly amidst the mighty shouts from the audience.
"Ronnie! Well done!"
"Ronnie! Great job!"
This is football——
There are players who stand in the spotlight and receive cheers, there are players who single-handedly turn things around, and there are also players who stand in the shadows and do the dirty work to ensure the smooth execution of tactics.
They should applaud those superstars, but they should also cheer for these blue-collar workers, because rugby is a team sport and no one can be missing.
Terry stood there jumping up and down, just like Clark.
As soon as the topic changed, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and he switched channels.
"Come on! Levi! Come on!"
Levi and Clark high-fived each other in the air, and completed the handover in one step. Without any time to communicate, Levi had already entered the team and formed a quick formation.
In football games, positional battles are the norm, and the red zone is the hardest hit area. The game on the one-yard line can often determine the outcome, and it is often the defense that has the advantage.
At this time, the offensive team is on the one-yard line in front of the end zone, which means that all players on the defensive team are gathered in the end zone to guard this narrow and crowded space, leaving little room for adjustment for the offensive team.
Just like the football penalty area, the more dangerous it is, the more exciting it is, and the closer it is, the more difficult it is.
One file, one code.
Shaban tried to change the rhythm. Hurts chose to quickly short-pass to find starting tight end OJ-Howard (OJ-Howard), using Howard's personal ability to break through, but the Trojans' defensive front performed very well.
The defensive end was stuck in position and raised his hand to slap away Hurts' pass. Because it was a short pass within five yards, Hurts could not pull up the parabola, and the low passing line was directly intercepted by the opponent. Come down.
Connection failed.
The scene was filled with exclamations——
Fortunately, it was just a pass that was missed. It was almost, just a little bit close, and it might have turned into an interception.
However, this also means that the Crimson Tide Storm's offensive tactics are seen through by their opponents. Even if there are no interceptions, the passing route is seen through, which is obviously not good news.
Shaban needs a clearer and sharper offensive strategy, otherwise, falling to the one-yard line in front of the end zone will not happen twice in football games.
To be precise, countless.
Second gear and one code.
The offensive and defensive duel in the red zone is like this. The distance is only one yard or two, and the touchdown is close but cannot cross the end zone line.
At this point, a tank running back like Derrick Henry is very suitable for attacking; but if the tactical intention of the ground attack is seen through, it still won't work, not even Derrick Henry, especially since the Trojans have five defensive frontmen. situation, so tactical games are still needed.
Now, the two head coaches Shaban and Hayden are competing on the one-yard line.
Tick, tick!
Time did not stop, and the Crimson Tide Storm finally lined up and prepared to attack.
Still in pistol formation!
The air was slightly burning. The Trojans' defensive team was united, with a determined light bursting out of their eyes. They knew that this was a third-gear attack that must be defended.
Even if a free kick is lost, a touchdown cannot be lost again, otherwise it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the Trojans.
On the contrary, if you can stop the opponent on the one-yard line, even if you lose a free kick, it can still boost morale.
You can clearly feel the rolling heat waves licking your hair on the surface of your skin, a faint burnt smell permeates the air, and your heart is beating almost to the point of exploding.
"Attack!" Hertz's voice broke through the heavy heat waves and detonated the air.
Hold the ball.
Retreat.
observe.
At a glance, it was clear that Hurts was looking for a pass target in the second half of the end zone. He and Levi behind him completed a position change, and Levi continued to step up.
This is a classic passing tactic, with the running back serving as the sixth offensive line to solidify the pocket, giving the quarterback more time to observe and space to pass the ball.
In an instant, the storm surged.
It can be clearly seen that the Trojans' defensive players are pulling back and marking the Crimson Tide Storm's passing targets more closely.
It was this moment, the short moment of lightning.
Levi and Hurts intertwined. Hurts, who was observing the passing target and offensive and defensive positions, still looked at the blind spot on the left, but stretched the football to the right side of his body covertly.
Levi wrapped the football in his arms, kept walking, and headed straight forward.
One step, kicking off the ground, sprinting, lowering the center of gravity, and entering the armor-breaking mode of forcibly breaking through.
Two steps closer to the kickoff line, you can feel the collision of power and strength, muscle and muscle. The temperature of blood and sweat fills the narrow space, and Levi is completely surrounded by his claws and teeth.
Three steps——
Bang!
The impact has arrived, forming a pincer attack like a bulldozer, leaving no room for adjustment in the limited space.
However!
Just when the left and right sides were colliding with each other and about to close the door, Levi jumped sideways and got out of the gap lightly and nimbly. Before he could regain his center of gravity with his shaky steps, he could feel the numbers in the next second. Forces hit from different directions.
Hold your breath.
Touch the ground, turn around, and dodge.
With silky and smooth movements, he rushed out with the force of left and right collisions. His upper body could feel the fresh cold air blowing against his face again, but his lower body was still trapped in the pile of human flesh.
Lean forward, fall to the ground.
Without hesitation, Li Wei firmly grasped the gravity of the earth and sank quickly with a heavy weight. His own weight smashed through the force of the attack and rushed to the ground.
Then, release——
ah!
The biting air exploded in my ears like a stormy sea. The dense city walls opened like this, and a whole new world spread out in my field of vision.
Boom, buzz buzz.
After the roar, there was an excitement.
"Touchdown!"
"Touchdown!"
"Toooooooooooouchdown!"
The long, long tail sound burned and stirred in the air, and AT&T Arena went crazy.
Terry could clearly hear his own voice hitting his eardrums. This touchdown was different from any other touchdown by the Crimson Tide Storm——
Because, his Clark is also involved.
"Roar! Crimson Tide!"
"Roar! Crimson Tide!"
AT&T Arena turned into a sea of boiling magma.
Indeed, the Crimson Tide are the defending champions and are naturally optimistic about their strength; while the Trojans are underdogs and performed poorly last season.
But in the first quarter of the game, the Crimson Tide storm overwhelmed the Trojans with an absolutely strong performance on both ends of the offense and defense. The strong wind and rain had no breathing room at all, and they slaughtered and crushed them nakedly. This was something no one expected. The duel at the one-yard line in the end zone is a microcosm.
The red tide roared all over the sky.
The second update today. In the final sprint of the new book issue, the young man begs you all to persevere, thank you all! Thank you very much!
