Chapter 223 The scene-stealing master


Chapter 223 The scene-stealing master
It’s unbelievable. Even if I saw it with my own eyes, I still can’t believe my eyes. The 100% third-speed conversion rate is really outrageous. This is an unacceptable fact, because it proves that they have no Able to seize the game——

Strength, there it is.

Quality is there.

But losing the chain at a critical moment is very damaging to morale.

The New England Patriots' defensive team was panting and red-eyed one by one, like a pack of hungry wolves, eager to prove that they also needed to stop their opponents, and then they saw that figure.

Number twenty-three.

Fortunately, the moment they had been waiting for to wash away their shame finally came.

If Hunter plays the role of running back and wide receiver, confusing the audience, causing offensive tactics to disappear, disrupting New England's defense, and causing the defense to be in a hurry, this is barely a reason; then Levi's destruction of the ground defense is another matter. They need to get back on track and save face.

One or two, sharpening their knives.

Levi and Hunter exchange appearances, and Hunter's dissatisfaction can be clearly felt.

Hunter is in good shape now. Although his ground running is still not on track, he has proven his versatility at the wide receiver position. This is also an important weight in his competition with Levi. He is eager to stay on the field and continue to look for The state continues to contribute to the team.

But Reed wanted the running backs to appear alternately, both for rest and tactical adjustments, and Hunter had no idea.

Hunter gave Levi a hard look: It's best not to ruin a good situation.

Levi noticed Hunter's eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth could not help but rise slightly:
It's good, anyway, the entire Gillette Stadium is staring at him now. One more Hunter is not too much, and one less Hunter is not too much. few.

In fact, Hunter's outstanding performance also made Levi aware of the existence of healthy competition. He will not let down his guard and will continue to use outstanding performances to pressure Hunter into the second running back position.

Full of motivation.

As soon as he came on the stage, Levi could feel the statistics in the eyes from the opposing defensive team. The momentum condensed and the aura was fully opened. The whole pressure completely condensed the air, and the old and new hatreds that had been suppressed before were completely ignited.

Get ready to target Levi and release them all.

Levi still remained calm——

He is the bait.

Belichick is an old fox, but Reid is not weak either.

Reid accurately grasped the situation. He noticed the emotional fluctuations of the defensive team. The decrease in physical strength caused by pressure exposed more uncertainty. He used this fluctuation to divert attention and create opportunities for passing.

Deep down, Reid still believes in passing.

Ten yards in first gear.

Smith pretended to run and pass the ball, and successfully directed all the firepower to Levi with a fake handover action. However, in the chaos, he continuously stepped back, stretched his arms, bent his bow and shot the eagle. At first glance, he was preparing for a long pass.

This time, Reid was ahead of Belichick.

Levi played an excellent role as a decoy, completely disrupting the layout of the short passing area and buying enough time and passing space for Smith.

Smith made a long pass and incredibly sent a 40-yard parabola aimed at the end zone, a fatal hit.

The entire Gillette Stadium was frightened. There was a gasp, and even the commentators in the live broadcast room were stunned.

It has to be said that Reid's offensive tactics are really clever.

The only regret is——

The connection was not successful.

New England Patriots safety Zhong Jia became the last line of defense for the players at the critical moment. He got stuck in the end zone and beat Kansas Chiefs wide receiver Hill to take the football away. His clean and strong defense kept Gillette Stadium on the line of death. circle back to the ground.

The brain is roaring.

If the Kansas Chiefs score another touchdown, the game will be really dangerous in the fourth quarter. The Zhong family can almost single-handedly renew the life of the home team.

With this momentum, the New England Patriots' defense finally showed strength. This six-man raid did not allow Smith to find another chance.

Sack. Outside linebacker Harrison finally got what he wanted, sacking Smith in the pocket, stopping the Kansas Chiefs' demanding passing attack from continuing to show its power, and giving the New England Patriots a glimmer of hope in an extremely difficult situation.

The whole place was boiling.

No one expected that the game would be so close in the fourth quarter, and that the Kansas Chiefs' offense would play such a strong performance. It's hard to imagine how bad the situation would be without the Zhong family's life-saving pass defense.

Harrison had begun to dance——

Sixteen yards in third gear.

The New England Patriots are one step away from striking out the Kansas Chiefs.

Moreover, with such a large number of yards in the third gear, it is particularly easy to defend whether it is passing or running the ball, and the defensive team occupies an especially powerful position.

Generally speaking, in such a situation, the offensive team will often choose to pass the ball. After all, the third gear is 16 yards. To complete the third gear transition, you must gamble on the long pass, so the defensive team will sit slightly back and intercept the long pass.

But if the offensive team chooses to run the ball and try to advance some yards to get a free kick position, the defensive team will also have no problem, because the running back needs to advance sixteen yards to complete the first attack conversion, which means that the defensive team has Enough space to step back and intercept the running ball.

In other words, the defense has a full sixteen yards of space to adjust, make mistakes, follow up, and recover.

The situation is completely on the defensive team's side.

The Kansas Chiefs, who have successfully converted all third gears three times before, may not be able to continue to advance.

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

The uniform shouts at Gillette Stadium poured down like a torrential rain, and the entire stadium shook slightly, as if it was shaking the world.

The momentum was so overwhelming that it was very difficult for Smith to arrange his tactics. He yelled at the top of his lungs and matched his gestures to barely complete the communication.

"What tactic will Reed choose this time?"

"In the first three third-speed transitions, two were by Kelsey and one was by Hunter. Reid's passing tactics did make changes in the limited space, but this time the third-speed long yardage obviously needs to face more severe challenges. challenge."

"Is it possible that Reid unexpectedly handed the football to the running back?"

As soon as Michaels expressed his opinion, Collinsworth couldn't help laughing, clearly disapproving of it.

Michaels looked over, "Chris?"

Collinsworth shook his head, "If it's Hubble or Rivera, of course, they might take the risk, but Reed? It's almost impossible."

"Look at the Super Bowl last season, everyone thought Carroll was going to hand the football to Lynch, but what did he do?"

"That's Lynch in 'beast mode'."

"Now Reid has a rookie model. I don't think he should choose to hand over such critical numbers to a rookie. If it is Adrian Peterson, okay, I admit there is a 10% possibility. , but unfortunately, Peterson is not at Gillette Stadium at this moment.”

"My guess is long pass, Hill. They tried it once at ten yards on first down, hey, sixteen yards on third down, why not try it again?"

In the live broadcast room, analysis and discussion are taking place.

And on the court——

"attack!"

Smith announced the kickoff, stepped back continuously, raised his chin and began to observe.

Sure enough, pass the ball.

So, the target of the pass is Hill? Kelsey? Or...Levi?
Wait, Levi?
Why did Smith give the football to Levi?

Oh God, Reed is crazy.
