Chapter 140: The clash of teeth
The peak showdown is indeed the pinnacle showdown. The tit-for-tat clash of powerful forces without giving in is really exciting. Both teams are calculating and confronting. The sparkling head-on battle makes the air boil. ——
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.
The fighting between coaches Shaban and Sweeney lasted throughout the first half. Sweeney’s adventurous strategy was especially eye-catching. He gave full play to his offensive advantages, avoided his defensive disadvantages, and was bold and bold. Drag the game into your own rhythm.
"24:24".
At the end of the first half, no one had the advantage——
The two teams both scored three touchdowns and a free kick, never pulling away; more importantly, the two offensive groups successfully scored points every time they appeared on the court, and their excellent offensive efficiency ensured endless excitement. There was no peeing throughout the first half, and the audience screamed in surprise.
Judging from the current situation, the game has fallen into a tense and anxious state. If either side makes a mistake or the offense is unable to score points, the balance will be broken and the entire situation will be overturned.
In other words, every minute can become a decisive moment.
Stimulate!
As expected of the Huashan Swordsmanship, the Alabama Crimson Tide Storm and Clemson Tigers are indeed the teams with the best overall strength and competitive status in the NCAA in the past two seasons. The championship battle last season was stalemate until the end. The two teams The game scored 40 points in the fourth quarter, and the final score was fixed at "45:40". The Alabama Crimson Tide narrowly won. This situation has continued again this season.
Really exciting!
Returning in the second half, the intensity and anxiety of the game actually increased to a higher level.
On the one hand, with a high mentality, both young teams fought bloody battles. Their desire for championships and victory has been forgotten, and they purely want to defeat their opponents.
On the other hand, the fluctuations in physical fitness and the burning collision in the first half made it inevitable that players on both sides began to face physical changes.
Inevitably, mistakes will occur and the showdowns will become more exciting.
The Clemson Tigers took the lead in attacking in the second half, and Watson once again showed his style as a team leader. He twice faced the dilemma of long yards on third gear, incredibly succeeded in converting, and ended the game with a touchdown by running the ball by himself. , once again issued the strongest voice to compete for the championship.
Similarly, the Alabama Crimson Tide storm refused to give an inch. Shaban boldly and wildly tried a fourth-down, four-yard power play. The desperate risk regained life with the help of Levi's divine running, and once again ended with a touchdown. Make your voice heard without showing any signs of weakness.
The stalemate continues.
"37:37".
In the blink of an eye, the fourth quarter was already halfway through and the game was coming to an end. Although both teams experienced fluctuations, mistakes and accidents, the offensive efficiency was obviously hindered. After the first offense scored a touchdown in the second half, it always ended with a free kick. However, the back-and-forth scoring momentum continued, and the inextricable tie situation remained stalemate all the way.
Then.
Watson once again gave a personal performance, running for a 14-yard touchdown, realizing the Clemson Tigers' slight advantage in taking the lead in the second half, taking the lead again, and putting all the pressure on the Alabama Crimson Tide Storm.
"44:37".
It was anxious, tight, and hot, and the entire Richmond-James Stadium was almost melting.
Now, not only do we need to score, but we also need to control the game time——
With five minutes and 47 seconds left before the end of the game, the Alabama Crimson Tide offensive team came on the scene again.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Levi was breathing heavily. The attrition tactics that the Clemson Tigers had insisted on since the beginning were finally reflected in Levi.
Not only was the intensity of each push astonishing and the consumption far beyond imagination; but the number of times Levi held the ball in today's game also reached a season high.
The momentum of continuous scoring continues, which means that if either side stops scoring, the balance of the game will be broken immediately, and it will be very difficult to reverse the situation. Therefore, Levi stays on the court longer and holds the ball more often. increase. Throughout the season, Levi's average number of possessions per game was 25.36; but today, the game is not over yet, and Levi's possessions have reached 31 times.
Now, Levi felt his limits clearly as never before, like walking on a high-altitude tightrope, tight, shaking, and exciting.
After holding the ball again and completing a five-yard advance to win the first attack, Shaban rotated Levi out and let Jacobs come on. This not only changed the rhythm of the ground attack, but also balanced the players' playing time, controlled physical consumption as much as possible, and gave Breathing room for players.
In fact, not only Levi, the Alabama Red Tide Storm was tired from top to bottom——
With a complete victory in the season, the mental and physical tests have reached a new level. Shaban's prediction is correct. They really don't need to get involved in the media's harassment. The rising pressure is invisible but objective. That root My nerves were always tense and I could never relax.
Moreover, the whole season was going smoothly. Except for two games between the University of Tennessee and Louisiana State University, they encountered almost no challenges. Suddenly they got such a tough nut to crack, and the strong confrontation continued until the fourth quarter of the game, which was very exhausting for them. It is undoubtedly more intense.
However, the game still attracts all the attention. Even if you are not standing on the court, you cannot relax, and your eyes are firmly fixed on every move on the court.
"Levi..."
Burns waited for Levi to squeeze the water bottle and take a sip of water before continuing.
"Wait a minute, please pay attention, there may be more opportunities on the left..."
Burns took the tactical board and moved the pieces of the Clemson Tiger players to show Levi the changes in the opponent's defensive positioning and that they needed to adjust on the spot.
But at this moment, they were interrupted by a muffled helmet collision, and Levi and Burns both looked up——
Bang!
At a glance, Levi could see a helmet breaking free from its restraints and flying up. The powerful and ferocious impact force directly knocked the helmet away head-on.
It's Jacobs!
Hit the wall head-on.
With a sudden movement, Burns and Levi both stood up, and then they saw Jacobs falling to the ground like a sandbag. The densely packed crowd blocked the view, making it completely unclear and only Yaya could be seen. The scene was chaotic for a while as Jacobs lay behind his crossed calves.
Huh!
Drop the ball.
After Jacobs encountered a head-on collision, he dropped the ball fatally. Players from the two teams jumped on him immediately and quickly started fighting for the ball.
Then--
Clemson Tigers defensive tackle No. 94 Carlos Watkins fell to the ground like a turtle to protect the football.
The whole place was boiling.
"Drop the ball!"
“The Clemson Tigers created a fumble and Watkins took control of the ball.”
"God, the ball changed for the first time in the game. Clemson Tigers' little-known defensive tackle Watkins became the hero of changing the game. The ball came to Clemson, and they took it in one fell swoop. The defending champion is pushed to the cliff..."
"Possession transition!"
However, amid the hustle and bustle of the audience, Levi noticed immediately——
Jacobs, did not stand up.
Today’s fourth update.
