Chapter 132 Brilliant Footsteps
Bang!
With five players rushing the ball, the University of Washington took the initiative with an absolutely strong and sturdy performance, instantly tearing apart the pocket protection of the University of Alabama's offensive line, taking advantage of the away game and setting off a storm in the Georgia Dome.
Hertz's heart tightened. He had just started to retreat when he could feel the layers of air waves rushing towards him. If it was the first half of the season, Hertz would probably be confused at this time, but now after polishing , the knees trembled slightly, revealing the panic in his heart, but his brain remained calm, and he turned around to complete the handover immediately.
The University of Washington is calculating, and so is the University of Alabama.
The experienced and cunning Shaban chose a very unexpected tactic at the beginning——
Read option offense.
How about it, you didn’t expect it?
The read-option offense, which is not often used this season but can always bring surprises occasionally, cleverly combines the abilities of Hurts and Levi, fully demonstrating the existing offensive diversity of the Crimson Tide Storm.
Everyone knows that Levi has outstanding abilities. Everyone knows that Jackson and Watson are good at reading option offenses, but it is often easy to ignore the existence of Hurts.
This is both good and bad.
The biggest advantage is that with Levi as a decoy, Hurts can pass the ball; when Hurts attracts attention, Levi can use his specialties.
At this time, it's the latter.
After Hurts held the ball, he immediately noticed the menacing approach of the University of Washington. After continuously retreating, the opposite defensive line noticed that Hurts was still holding the ball, and the pass rusher came over reluctantly.
So, without delay, hand over the rugby ball.
Hurts had already stuffed the football into Levi's arms and retreated quickly——
Get ready for the show.
Levi, a little excited.
There were three full weeks of Christmas break, and although there was still training, as long as the training was not as exciting as the game, he was eager to return to the court.
He's looking forward to the confrontation, he's looking forward to the intensity, he's looking forward to continuing to grow.
It would be too boring if the University of Washington was also frightened and surrendered without any fighting spirit. The National Championship game is all about intensity, which is exciting. Now we can finally have a good fight.
Football, embraced.
Levi could also feel the heat wave coming towards his face with his teeth and claws, but he did not rush to start. Instead, he paused leisurely, glanced quickly, and took in all the melee in front of him.
The University of Washington's overall defense was fully loaded, and not only the defensive front line, but the second line defense also stepped forward very aggressively, so that the front line was heavily stocked, but in Levi's eyes, it was full of loopholes.
They are not good at this tactic and cannot be compared with Louisiana State University at all. It can be seen that they are forcing the pass rush to improve morale and specially formulated this tactic for the Crimson Tide Storm, but when executing it, The blocking position and running route are still not tacit and meticulous enough, and the defensive network cannot be completely woven.
--Chance.
Levi, very calm and composed.
As he stepped forward, he could see a strong and clumsy figure rushing towards him like a black bear directly in front of him. It was the opponent's defensive tackle Elijah Qualls.
Qualls was a bit bulky, and his first reaction was to aim at Hurts and pounce on him, but he was forced to change direction temporarily after Hurts and Levi completed the handover, but his heavy body couldn't help, and his round ankles Unable to flexibly support the body to complete rotation, the movements appear a bit funny.
The upper body has turned around, but the lower body is still facing the direction of Hertz; and, while the steps are still in place, the upper body rushes forward impatiently, so that the whole person falls out as if tripped.
Well. Uh-huh-uh!
Despite this, Qualls still tried his best, but he saw Levi's figure pulling to his right side. He shook it subconsciously, and then immediately saw Levi moving to the left again. He also tried to keep up again, but his body balance was overturned. He turned belly up like a sunfish, felt the pull of gravity, collapsed, and watched helplessly as Levi overtook easily on the outside.
Qualls: Damn it.
Levi was very relaxed and calm. He cleverly took advantage of Qualls' bulky body and successfully shook off his opponent's upper step tackle with a single shake.
In the next step, the horizons have been opened.
Kick off, start, accelerate. The body rushed out in an instant, traveling like an arrow from a string.
From the corner of his vision, he could see the cornerback on the right and the linebacker on the left trying to double-team and tighten the pocket, one on the left and one on the right, working together.
Cornerback Sidney Jones and linebacker Azeem Victor both had outstanding seasons and showed great ability in the second-line pass defense, especially Jones is projected to have first- or second-round potential.
They are all eager to play against Levi and prove themselves in the Peach Bowl.
Just after they came on the field, the opportunity had already come. Jones and Victor were both a little excited, and followed up quickly. They immediately got rid of their opposing receivers and outflanked Levi laterally with light steps.
The air became tense instantly, and you could see it in your sight——
Two figures surround each other horizontally, while a single arrow attempts to break through the closed doors.
Step, step, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, the three figures sprinted towards an intersection at the same time, their speed and power instantly exploded and pushed to the extreme without reservation.
near!
Ah, ah ah!
Closer!
Ah!
Seeing that Levi was about to become the turtle in the urn, Jones and Victor's eyes showed surprise, and they opened their arms to complete the grapple.
However, at this moment, Li Wei increased his speed again with two steps, and the figure running at full speed turned into a light and shadow, leaving an afterimage.
Bang.
There was a muffled sound, and the collision of helmet and helmet exploded above the Georgia Dome.
But they saw Jones and Victor both rushing towards the red afterimage and colliding head-on. The force of the impact was so fierce that the two of them flew into the air and landed heavily, sending up a cloud of grass clippings and dust.
He.
The entire audience exclaimed and grinned, as if they could feel the pain of the frontal impact. They were dizzy and every muscle was wailing.
And what about Levi?
Levi has successfully broken out of the encirclement. He continued to move quickly and change directions in a small area. He ran an "S" curve like Sonic the Hedgehog and continued to move forward. This disrupted the University of Washington's judgment of accumulating troops in the short-pass area, and the center of gravity shifted. and marched straight into the turmoil of chaotic footsteps.
Five yards.
Ten yards.
Before he could blink, Levi had already broken through the short pass area and continued to rush forward amidst the exclamations and astonishment of the University of Washington fans in the audience.
Baker, on the move.
"Calm down, stay calm."
Baker reminded himself not to miss the tackle because he was too excited, just like that idiot Humphrey. He knew he could stop Levi——
Not to believe, but to understand, to understand clearly.
Adjusting in small steps continuously, Baker bent his knees, lowered his center of gravity and quickly moved forward without any rashness. He waited until Levi's running route and the position of his center of gravity were completely determined before moving forward.
Step, push on the ground, exert force.
Grapple!
--boom.
The first update today. I actually qualified for the playoffs! ! ! Sprinkle flowers!
