Chapter 88 Human Sea Tactics
The air is burning; the heat wave is surging.
Tiger Stadium is showing the power of the Devil's home court to the visiting Crimson Tide Storm. Not only are there a variety of cheering slogans, but each offense and defense has a corresponding slogan; the stadium is packed with 100,000 people, and the overwhelming purple makes the sky reflect a gorgeous peacock blue. .
The sound waves surged, and they bared their teeth and claws to hit the Crimson Tide Storm. Obviously, Tiger fans particularly enjoyed this moment——
The Alabama Crimson Tide Storm and the Louisiana State Tigers are mortal enemies.
Since 1960, the two teams have met once a year, and it has gradually developed into an annual event. The Louisiana State Tigers once maintained a fifteen-game winning streak against the Crimson Tide Storm at Tiger Stadium at home. This is also the most incredible and difficult to surpass in the history of the NCAA. item record.
Tiger fans are proud of it, and they still use it every now and then to humiliate the Crimson Tide Storm.
However, as a traditional strong team, the Crimson Tide Storm still maintains the lead in the overall record, with 55 wins, 27 losses and five draws. It also maintains an absolute advantage in important events such as the conference championship game, national championship game, etc., always blocking. Tiger's path to championship glory.
For the Crimson Tide Storm, among a series of mortal enemies, Auburn University and the University of Tennessee have a longer history, more entangled grievances, and deeper foundations; however, in 2007, Nick Shaban, the meritorious coach of Louisiana State University, joined the mortal enemy. The red tide storm changed that.
Since then, every meeting between Alabama and LSU has been explosive, and the heat has continued to heat up as Shaban led the Crimson Tide to defeat the Tigers in the 2012 conference championship game. Then it reached its peak.
Now, "Crimson Tide Storm vs. Tigers" has evolved into a never-ending showdown in the NCAA Southeastern Conference.
Today is no exception.
The Louisiana State Tigers played like chickens up and down, playing 120% of their strength and suppressing their opponents from the beginning.
Not to be outdone, the 100,000 fans at Tiger Stadium took practical actions to awaken the painful memories of the Crimson Tide Storm's fifteen-game losing streak at this stadium.
"Tiger-Bait."
"Tiger, attack!"
The cheers were endless and overwhelming. From offense to defense, from defense to offense, every attack and defense was tireless, and it continued for nearly two hours and still remained high and full. The home fans burst out with incredible energy, fiercely The ground crushes visitors.
The heat wave danced wildly above the eardrums, and the skin almost melted.
Obviously, in such a predicament, such a game environment did not help the Crimson Tide Storm, but only trapped them with irritability and depressed emotions.
Stay calm and rational, and the difficulty will increase exponentially.
Hertz was a little panicked and couldn't hide it at all. His face was pale, his pupils were shaking, he was at a loss, and he even forgot the correct way to breathe.
Levi noticed it. After the formation was completed, before heading to his position, he patted Hurts on the shoulder. The freshman was still too immature.
"We can." Levi said.
Hurts isn't sure.
Levi repeated again, "We can."
Hertz looked into Levi's eyes. The noise in the audience was constantly disturbing, but the calmness and composure in those eyes pulled down the chaotic thoughts floating in the air like gravity, and he felt the solidity from the ground again. Feeling that, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Then, Levi turned around and came to his station——
Standard pistol formation.
Take a deep breath and get ready.
Since the opening game, Levi hasn't been hitting the wall in an endless loop, like a hamster that keeps marching in circles, not like that.
He is observing, he is scrutinizing.
In fact, Shaban was also aware of the Tigers' targeted marking of Levi, so he tried to use Jacobs, Clark and even Emmons to change the rhythm; but it has to be said that the Tigers' ground defense performance is indeed tough, and the current advancement effect The best is still Levi.
Don't look at Levi who keeps hitting the wall. If it were other players, he would have collapsed. However, Levi did not. His advancement is still the only hope in the dilemma of the Crimson Tide Storm. The calmness and fighting spirit he showed in the face of difficulties and setbacks made Shaban Levi was chosen to continue shouldering the heavy responsibility of ground attack. Levi noticed a detail.
When Jacobs or Clark came on the field, the two linebackers Riley and Beckwith slowed down significantly. They were willing to leave some space and let Jacobs and Clark start; at the same time, they allocated more energy Help defend the pass.
However, when Levi came on the stage, Riley and Beckwith's strategy was simple and clear. They took the first step, compressed Levi's starting space as much as possible, and tried their best to complete the tackle before Levi's speed started; at the same time, safety Guard Adams also stepped up to fill the void left by the linebacker.
Still the same sentence——
The Tigers would rather the Crimson Tide use their passing attack to open up the situation than let their ground attack get into shape, sacrificing pass defense players and piling up crowd tactics in the ground defense.
Determined enough and ruthless enough.
This is something the Crimson Tide Storm has never encountered in previous games.
Originally, the Crimson Tide Storm's passing attack tactics were not rich, with only three axes. Now they are in trouble because of the restrictions on their ground attack.
Rugby games are interconnected, and problems in one link will often lead to trouble for the whole situation.
Shaban is also adjusting and trying, but in the final analysis, Levi still needs to break the situation head-on——
The Crimson Tide Storm's offense cannot be separated from the ground attack.
Therefore, they can no longer wait or avoid. They need to reverse the situation in a head-on confrontation.
Levi is ready.
Third gear and six yards.
That's the Crimson Tide's predicament so far, repeatedly stuck in third-down long yardage situations, and once the pass fails to connect, it's a fourth-down punt.
Attacking can't open up the situation at all.
In front of me, there is no exception.
Slowly, Levi bent down, supported his knees with both hands, stood behind Hurts, and brought the positions of the left and right defensive teams into his field of vision.
The Tigers respond to all changes by staying the same, and the entire defensive formation has not changed much.
Levi couldn't see Beckwith's face, but he could see Riley.
Generally speaking, the linebacker's position overlaps with the defensive front, so the quarterback can see clearly, but the running back cannot see clearly because of his position.
However, Riley was different. He deliberately stood outside and didn't care about the other players. He stared at Levi intently. The hunter clearly aimed at his prey.
Riley, this linebacker with the ability in the first three rounds, although not a genius, but if he has only one task and can get the support of two or even three teammates as a backing, then this matchup will also be As it turned into a cat and mouse game, he had absolute confidence.
Looking at Levi, Riley's eyes were like Tom's, staring at Levi, the Jerry, with a cruel smile, ready to take a step forward.
He has made Levi hit the wall more than once, and this time is no exception. Therefore, the Crimson Tide Storm had better come up with some new tactics, such as fake runs and real passes, otherwise, he will definitely not be polite.
"attack!"
The sound of Hurts kicking the ball filled the air, Levi, starting.
Second update.
