Chapter 69 Storm
“Touchdown!”
"Number 23, running the ball for a touchdown!"
"The Crimson Tide Storm's always-criticized offense firmly seized the opportunity of its own defensive team to steal the ball and eventually turned it into a touchdown, continuing to expand the lead and continuing the strength and smoothness since the opening to win the opening game. Second running touchdown since the war.”
"Wow."
"Can you believe it? I mean, wow!"
"At the end of last season, Derrick Henry entered the professional arena, and everyone began to worry about the Crimson Tide Storm's ground attack. Especially when the new season began, the Crimson Tide Storm revealed their running back lineup, with a rookie, a freshman, and a A substitute, there are constant voices of doubt.”
"Now, Sha'aban and his disciples responded in this way."
"Never underestimate the Crimson Tide Storm's ground attack. Ever!"
Like ESPN, ABC TV stations went from doubting to surprise to admiration. In less than one game, they all paid homage to him.
Perhaps, one would say, just two touchdowns, what all the fuss is about?
ABC TV commentator Xili held a different opinion.
"No. 23 of the Crimson Tide storm completed the game on the one-yard line in the red zone. His light and agile footsteps caught a gap in the layers of meat grinders. It was just a brief breathing space, but it evolved into a big array."
"pretty!"
"Perhaps, this No. 23 is not Derrick Henry. They are two completely different players, but now No. 23 still relies on his own ability to open up situations for the ground attack. He is calm, rational, alert, and knows how to take advantage. , this wisdom is really impressive.”
“The two touchdown runs were in completely different ways. The interception performance of No. 23 is also worth looking forward to. Obviously we haven’t seen all of him yet, which also makes the next game full of fun. "
"There is no doubt that the defending champion still maintains continuous firepower output on both offense and defense."
"Now, the Crimson Tide Storm throws the Trojans a problem."
"With a strong defense, Shaban's offensive team also showed its talents. What should we do next?"
ABC TV station remains neutral. As a live broadcaster, they naturally hope that the competition will be as intense as possible, so as to stimulate the ratings.
"The Trojans need to gain a foothold. They need to calm down, focus on themselves, start from their own strengths, open up the situation on the offensive end, and stabilize the game situation. Now it is time for the new offensive group to show their talents, from the head coach to the four-pointer Back to the receiving corps, they need to cheer up."
"Just score once."
"Whether it's a free kick or a touchdown, this is what the Trojans need. There is no need to worry about your defensive team, focus on playing your own game and find your own rhythm."
"Otherwise, not to mention whether the young quarterback can handle such a difficult situation, the confidence of the Trojans' offense may also be destroyed."
"We should bring our eyes back and don't forget that this is a conflict between the Trojans' offense and the Crimson Tide's defense."
"Now, let's see how Haydn deploys his tactics, and then see how Shaban responds."
"The pressure, again, is on the Trojans' side, they need someone to step up, they need a leader to regroup, they need a moment to shine."
"It's true that rugby is a team sport, but team sports also need a leader."
Zhu Zhu: Okay, okay, stop talking. I know it’s time for me to take action. If the team needs a superhero, it’s 100% me.
Who else would I be!
However--
Zhu Zhu's chin fell to the ground and shattered all over the floor.
He forgot one thing, a very, very important thing.
Who is a hero and who is a villain is a matter of opinion. While the Trojans are looking for a leader, the leader of the Crimson Tide Storm will not sit still and wait for death.
Allen, captain of the Crimson Tide Storm defense, stepped up and played a leadership role. Shaban knows the Trojans offense is ready to rise, but they also need to ask the Crimson Tide defense for input.
Shaban chose to take the initiative——
Pass rush pressure.
The so-called pass rush and pressure should be more accurately called a surprise attack, which is when the defensive team takes the initiative to tear open the offensive line's pocket and target the quarterback to attack, either to apply passing pressure or directly impact. The most perfect one is to sack four players. Shooting guard, interrupting the offense from the source.
If the quarterback can't complete the pass, then it's useless no matter how good the wide receiver or tight end is, because there is no way to launch the cannonball.
The Crimson Tide Storm is a "3-4" formation. The biggest feature of this formation is that it focuses on pressure and lacks surprise.
In other words, they mainly interfere, collide, and apply pressure to destroy the quarterback's passes, but rarely open the pocket and sack the quarterback.
However, "few" does not mean that such abilities are not available.
Ginger is still spicy.
Shaban accurately grasped the context of the game, came up with the first wave of defense, and launched a surprise attack without warning. The four linebackers stepped forward and spread out, joining the defensive front line, forming a numerical advantage with six players passing the ball and applying pressure, and rushed forward in an instant. Open the pocket, and then Allen shows his ability.
One step up, the tiger descends.
Sack!
With an absolutely powerful and sudden gesture, Allen fiercely knocked away the interception of the Trojans' offensive line, making the pocket look like paper. He took a flying step forward and pounced on Darnold, ruthlessly knocking the young man off. The player is on the ground.
friction.
Rub again.
Darnold was stunned, every bone in his body was wailing, his vision went dark, and the whole world fell apart before his eyes.
Not to mention Darnold, even Hurts was trembling on the edge of the court, and his knees were trembling slightly when he saw Allen roaring like the Hulk.
Zhu Zhu:......
It had just started, and he was about to start another duel with Humphrey, but when he saw this tragic scene, he was completely frightened in place.
Over there, the young Trojans tried to blow the counterattack horn.
Here, the sophisticated Crimson Tide Storm immediately snuffed out the spark.
Ten yards on first down, a sack that not only gave up no yards, but forced the Trojans to lose five yards.
Fifteen yards on the second play, everyone thought the Trojans would choose to pass the ball, but Hayden unexpectedly chose to run the ball. The Crimson Tide Storm defensive team did not lose focus. No. 10 Foster completed a beautiful line tackle at the line of scrimmage. The running back was held down nearby and only gained two yards.
Thirteen yards on third gear, the Trojans were forced to go uphill and had no choice but to pass the ball. Even the cover of a fake run and a real pass was not necessary.
However, Hayton still made tactical adjustments, using Zhu Zhu to attract firepower, trying to connect with other receivers, and relying on Darnold's strong arm to reverse the situation.
The Crimson Tide executed an unparalleled secondary defense, denying Darnold's pass and striking out the Trojans with a crisp power play.
One wave after another, a violent storm hit the Trojans breathlessly, and they ended up again in a daze, all confused.
Young Darnold's eyes were blank and couldn't find focus.
Total suppression, total crushing.
The game is completely different from what they imagined, so what should they do next?
Because the Crimson Tide Storm offensive team is once again sharpening its sword against the pigs and sheep.
Wait, the Crimson Tide offense isn't going to score another touchdown, right?
No way!
