Chapter 99 A Gentle Knife
Adams was fully focused.
As a safety guard, he stood slightly back and had a panoramic view of the scene in front of him. All movements were under control. He immediately noticed the "exaggerated performance" of Levi and Hurts' fake running and real pass, and then noticed the "exaggerated performance" of Levi and Hurts. Ci left the pocket.
Shocked!
Generally speaking, the quarterback will not leave the pocket. Without the protection of the offensive line, the quarterback will be very vulnerable and completely exposed to the defensive players; but running quarterbacks are exceptions. When they When leaving the pocket, the field of view opens up and the dual threat of passing and running is fully activated.
However, Hurts didn’t have the read option and still left the pocket, so that means—
His eyes glanced quickly.
Levi!
Hurts and Li Weibing split into two groups and both bowed and made sprinting movements.
Double running back tactic, the Crimson Tide Storm actually used the double running back tactic again at such a level, using Hurts as the second running back.
It's not a passing offense, nor is it a simple running offense.
The Tigers' defensive team will never forget the first wave of offense in the second half when the Crimson Tide broke the deadlock. It relied on Hurts to run the ball and fake a shot. It was not a read offense but a real and fake running back, which caught the Tigers off guard. Now the same tactics are being used again.
Shaban played a trick, but it was not Shaban at all. How could that old fox take risks at such a juncture? What happened?
Now there is no time to think about Shaban's behavior pattern, because the Tigers' defensive team is indeed facing a rigorous test——
Hurts goes to the left and Levi goes to the right. How should they judge how to defend?
The thoughts surging in my mind were actually just a fleeting moment, and the players on the offensive and defensive teams had already taken action.
Adams immediately noticed that Riley's footsteps moved laterally with Hurts; Beckwith stared at Levi intently.
The other two linebackers spread out and followed the wide receiver's running route to follow the running route.
The dense crowd on the Tiger defensive front dispersed just like that.
Obviously, the offensive tactics of the Crimson Tide Storm that are difficult to distinguish between true and false caused differences in judgment among the Tigers' defensive team, which was standing on the edge of the cliff with no retreat.
Adams didn't even have time to curse, he needed to calm down and react.
After braking, Adams did not rush to start, at least it was ten yards in the second gear. If it was a ground attack, the defensive team still had some room to retreat; if it was a passing attack, and the defensive team rushed forward rashly, leaving the second-line defense empty, it would also Just stepping into his opponent's trap, he needs to observe.
Hertz?
No, it's Levi.
After calming down a little, Adams saw Hurts' running action in the gap between the crowd. He was not holding the ball, and the football was on Levi.
Danger! Danger! Danger!
The alarm was sounded in full force.
Then, Adams saw Levi. Among the surging crowds and rolling heat waves, the figure was like a white wave, dancing in the purple mist.
Horizontally, on the left side of the Tigers' defensive team and on Levi's right side, cornerback White stabbed in from the side like a dagger. However, Levi calmly made an emergency brake and followed White's grappling figure clockwise. Rotate ten degrees, get rid of it in an instant, cut inside and continue to advance.
In the next step, Beckwith's footsteps were approaching quickly, but Levi remained calm and calm, braked suddenly again, followed Beckwith's grappling movement and rotated 360 degrees clockwise for the second time in a row, and got rid of him with the same trick. Tackle, cut inside and keep pushing like a tornado.
Light, agile and delicate.
In the space of just three yards, between the layers of defensive gates, it danced with ease. The white wave was bathed in the golden sunlight and leapt to the top of the purple wave. The thrilling moment made the entire Tiger Stadium fall into a trap. Shocked and stunned.
Not only relaxed, but also calm, Levi seemed to have entered a place where no one was.
At the critical moment, Beckwith finally made a contribution. In the chaos of losing his center of gravity and about to fall to the ground, he leaned back and stretched out his arm, tripping Levi's ankle and disrupting Levi's smooth steps.
Levi's inertial forward steps lost their rhythm and rhythm. His knees bent and his steps staggered.
Then Adams showed up.
For a moment, just this short moment, the eyes of Levi and Adams intertwined, like two lone heroes preparing for a decisive battle in a Western movie. All the other players on the huge stadium disappeared, and only the two of them stood on the single-plank bridge. , a head-on fight to the death.
tread. Adams took the first step and struck first.
pull.
Levi followed the tendency of his body to lean forward and continued to rush out to the right. He had just cut from the outside back to the inside, and now he cut back to the outside again because he needed space for a run-up. He needed to adjust his center of gravity and balance, otherwise he would be in front of Adams. There is no chance of winning the duel.
Following closely, Adams quickly stepped up to intercept along the diagonal line, trying to complete the tackle before Levi could regain his balance.
The two figures quickly approached the intersection along the two radial lines with an angle of thirty degrees. Adams' accurate prediction cut off the path ahead of time.
Closer, closer.
Seeing that the two figures were about to collide, Levi suddenly braked and controlled his body one step ahead. He was like standing on the edge of a cliff and tightening the reins. He was teetering on the edge of a cliff and passed by Adams who was very close at hand. .
However!
Adams was already prepared and overran a little as soon as possible, but braked in time, turned around and pounced, and immediately reached out to grab Levi.
He knew what Levi was capable of, and having just witnessed Levi throw off White and Beckwith in succession, the same mistake wouldn't happen a third time.
One grab, one hug.
Grappling, success!
Adams was delighted.
However, this time, Levi braked urgently to control his body, regained his balance and center of gravity, and started again without stopping, pushing on the ground continuously to exert force.
One step, two steps.
Levi took the initiative to bump into Adams and continued to rush forward against Adams. Amidst the bumps and collisions, Adams was still unable to secure his grip.
Staggering, and seeing Levi about to break away from his grasp, Adams was so anxious that he could no longer care—
Pull.
The yellow flag came on and the referee didn't miss it.
But the game is not interrupted.
Levi felt the pull and collision of power. Not only did he not fall to the ground, but he kicked off the ground more and more fully, increasing his strength and speed again.
Tap tap, tap tap.
Bumping, bumping, pulling, squeezing, tangling.
Levi and Adams were completely entangled, and Adams refused to let go. He was trying to speed up, trying to keep up with Levi, and his speed also increased.
Step, run, speed up.
During the squeezing and pushing, the speed of both people has increased.
Ten yards.
Fifteen yards.
Twenty yards.
In the blink of an eye, the two people had already rushed out of the entanglement, and the first attack was successfully achieved.
Thompson, another Tiger safety guard, looked very ugly, not because Adams didn't stop Levi, but because Adams was dizzy and completely forgot about the task at hand——
Time, game time, this is the most important thing at hand.
Damn it!
The third update.
