Chapter 70 Rabbit bites
The red tide storm kills people crazy——
Of course, part of the reason was that the young Trojans did not recover. The defensive tactics, which were already rigid and lacked changes, exposed their shortcomings. They were manipulated by the experienced Shaban, and the gap was highlighted.
When the Crimson Tide Storm offensive team came on the scene again, Hurts' passing also completely opened up the situation. In addition to Levi, Jacobs' running ball also found its form. Both ends of the passing and running were full of firepower, and they pushed through the half court with overwhelming momentum.
Before they could even blink, the Crimson Tide Storm was already standing on the 35-yard line of the opponent's half, quietly entering the free kick range. The Trojans were as weak and helpless as dodders in the storm.
Seeing that the huge wave of the red tide storm was about to roar past mightily again, and the fifth wave since the beginning was completed to crush the victory, Hayden finally showed his courage and showed the reason and style of the head coach.
Everything was very sudden.
The Crimson Tide Storm are still going step by step, insisting on advancing with their own tactics and rhythm. The running backs are still rotating, including Clark, who has also won more opportunities to play. This time it is Levi's turn, nothing special.
Ten yards in first gear.
Shaban was preparing to pass the ball unexpectedly, and Levi came on the stage to act as a decoy, using the tactics of fake running and real passing, allowing Hurts to boldly target the deep area for a sneak attack, and take the risk of hitting the end zone directly at the 35-yard position.
Compared with backup quarterback Bateman, Hurts' personal abilities are superior, including long-passing ability. Although he is young and lacks experience, his performance in pressure moments needs to be improved, but it is already good.
At the moment, the offense was going smoothly, and the Trojans' defense was completely panicked. It was a reasonable risk to sneak a long pass to break the balance and hit the fatal blow.
Levi plays the role of attracting firepower, pretending to hand off and then assisting the offensive line in picking up the ball, further consolidating the pocket and buying time for Hurts.
However!
It was in such an offense and defense that the Trojans showed their youth and vitality——
Youth is about passion.
Raid.
The Trojans' defensive team made the first surprise attack of the game. Without any warning, they not only broke their usual defensive routine, but also put all their efforts into it.
Just now, the Crimson Tide Storm chose six people to rush the pass and completely gained the upper hand. In a fierce game like rugby, even one person's advantage is very valuable and can break the balance of the confrontation.
And the Trojans?
In the "5-2" formation, there are originally five defensive forwards. In addition to rushing to pass the ball, the two linebackers also stepped up, which is comparable to a tiger descending a mountain.
Seven pass rushers.
This is truly a desperate effort.
In Hayden's view, there is no difference between a failed raid and losing the first attack or even a touchdown. However, a successful raid can completely reverse the situation and momentum. They need this kind of domineering power.
In fact, it is just nonsense.
Regardless of the unreasonable raid tactics, it is just nonsense.
However, if an honest person doesn't get angry, it will be a complete disaster if he gets angry. Even a rabbit bites when it gets angry, let alone a Trojan?
The Trojans are the so-called "honest rabbits"——
The pocket is torn.
The absolute numerical advantage of the seven-man raid made the Crimson Tide Storm's top-notch offensive line look like paper. The moment the kickoff began, the Trojans had already torn their pockets to pieces.
On that side, Hurts and Levi were still making fake handoffs. As soon as they turned around, they felt the heat wave coming towards their faces.
Variables arise.
During the tactical game, Haydn used brute force to break the balance, which was indeed effective. Now Shaban is powerless and can only wait for the players to adjust on the spot.
Hurts panicked.
Long pass?
Long pass!
Hurts' mind was full of long-pass targets, but now his pocket was full of holes. He had no time or space to observe his passing targets. The stormy waves in front of him were like a waterfall.
Full of loopholes.
what to do?
Directly ahead, Levi is completing his job conscientiously. After assuming the cover feint, he continues to move forward and plug the holes in his pocket. Bang!
Oncoming, a Trojan had already crossed the line of scrimmage and rushed over. In the chaos, there was no time to look at the face or jersey number. Levi had already hit him head-on immediately.
Judging from his body shape, he should be a defensive forward——
Because the linebacker's size is closer to that of the running back, but the defensive front is one or even two sizes larger than the running back, which is simply another level of magnitude.
This also means that the Trojans' defensive line should be staggered with the linebackers, with the linebackers filling in for the defensive line, allowing the defensive line to rush forward and pass the ball.
Although Levi couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the meat grinder of the frontline confrontation, but with a quick glance, Levi still observed, analyzed and controlled the situation immediately.
Oops!
Rivera sounded the alarm.
Naturally, the action of filling the hole in the pocket will also change——
Running backs vs. defensive linemen.
You can't force it, otherwise, there is no doubt that the defensive front will crush the running back and continue to cut into the pocket.
If the mantis arm block can buy Hurts time and space to pass the ball, Levi is also willing to do it; but now the entire pocket has become a sieve. This is the first time since the opening of the game that Hurts has faced such a level of pass rush.
Danger.
In the blink of an eye, Levi had already completed his judgment.
Step up, hit, and fill the position.
He has his responsibilities and should still complete them. I believe the coach believes in his teammates. Maybe his replacement buys time and Hurts completes the pass?
Bang!
Levi turned sideways and did not hit him head-on. Instead, he used his left shoulder as the fulcrum. He did not passively bear the force, but actively hit the opponent's right shoulder in a dislocated manner. Strength and strength collided without compromise.
boom!
Power surged out overwhelmingly, but Levi was not completely passive. Instead, he took advantage of the opponent's weakness of focusing entirely on Hurts, using his shoulders as the fulcrum to move the mountain of flesh in front of him, and the balance was broken.
Boom...boom boom boom...
You can see at a glance that the mountain of meat in front of you is completely unprepared. It was caught off guard by Li Wei. His footsteps continued to move forward but his body had overturned, like a heavy sunfish.
The dam begins to burst——
The line of scrimmage where the offensive line and defensive line faced each other was a dam. It was already torn apart, and the Sunfish's fall broke the balance even more.
Tottering, precarious.
Power, burst.
But Levi didn't.
I was mentally prepared in advance and did not stop even after using my left shoulder to pry the sunfish. I followed the trend and rotated clockwise, moving sideways while turning sideways to look for Hertz.
At the moment when his back was completely turned to the line of scrimmage, Levi saw the panicked and helpless Hurts. His pupils were shaking violently and he was looking around at a loss, but his eyes were completely unfocused and he could not find the passing target at all.
The overwhelming pressure pushed the dam towards us, so that Hertz kept retreating, but there was nowhere to escape, and there were figures in all directions.
Chaos, danger, desperate situation.
Right now.
Hurts finally saw it, and saw two figures flying towards him. The moment his knees became weak and his steps staggered, he lightly threw the football.
Levi!
The first update today. On the last day of the new book period, the new book list is in a hurry again. Dear friends, the young man is wiping his tears and begging for support! The end is right in front of you, please hold on for just a little while longer! Thank you all!
