Chapter 307: Everywhere
Pass the ball? Running the ball?
In the second ten-yard situation, facing the dilemma of the opponent's defensive team's continued improvement, how will the Kansas Chiefs offensive team choose tactics?
The answer, of course, is...running the ball.
Mark was highly focused and immediately noticed the handover action between Smith and Levi. He made a mistake in his steps and used his left shoulder to push Fisher's right shoulder. This time, Fisher was not easily thrown away. Hold Mark tightly and refuse to let Mark break through again and again.
Mark wasn't surprised.
Although Fisher is not a top player, the fundamental reason why he became the No. 1 pick is his physical fitness. Once the prediction is accurate, Fisher can still complete the offensive line task, and he is very good.
As the game progressed, Fisher did not let Mark get what he asked for, and the confrontation began.
Mark was mentally prepared. This time, he did not try to shake off Fisher. Instead, he put his shoulder on his shoulder, kept moving forward, stepped up, and exerted force, forcibly breaking the balance and causing Fisher to spin like a merry-go-round.
Bang!
Fisher was spinning for a while, and Mark cut into the pocket close to Fisher's body. Although they were not completely separated, the two were tightly entangled, but he spread his hands across Levi's path. .
etc--
A fake run and a real pass?
Mark was delayed by Fisher, and after half a beat, he realized that the football was still in Smith's hands; moreover, Levi did not choose to come to block, but was still running along the slot.
Oops.
An unknown premonition firmly gripped Mark's heart, and the nightmare at the beginning quickly came to life.
Mark’s second reaction immediately followed——
He doesn't think Levi is an excellent wide receiver. His lines, footsteps, posture, control, etc. are all very green. He only needs one impact to destroy Levi's catching action. It couldn't be easier.
In an instant, Mark burst out with strength and took a sudden step forward.
Fisher spun completely, spinning around for a while and losing his center of gravity: Why is it always me who gets hurt?
Levi moved quickly diagonally along the diagonal line on the right side. After Mark got rid of Fisher, he quickly followed step by step. The chase was staged in a short moment of lightning.
Close.
Mark stepped forward at full speed, while Levi looked back at the moon and began to adjust his steps in preparation for catching the ball. With one addition and one subtraction, the distance between the two people quickly shortened.
Closer.
Mark's back was to Smith and to Levi, so he couldn't see what was going on behind him, and only Levi was in his sight.
Kick off the ground, jump, and fly.
Seeing the opportunity, Mark had already taken the initiative and struck first.
So close——
Bang!
The impact came, but it came not from the front, but from the left.
Bowman.
Mark aimed at Levi, and Bowman also aimed at Levi, but everything happened in a short moment in a narrow space, so that neither Mark nor Bowman saw each other, and the two people actually collided together.
What, what's going on?
Before Mark and Bowman had time to react, they saw Levi stop, push his left leg off the ground, and spin counterclockwise, a 360-degree circle, cleverly avoiding Mark and Bowman's loss of balance. The forward collision and unhurried steps are graceful and agile.
One look and you can tell that Levi prepared in advance and had everything accounted for.
Actually, he was fooled.
But what about catching the ball?
If Levi does acrobatics here, then he will 100% miss the receiving point. Does this mean that Levi ruins the team's offensive connection just to be cool?
Idiot.
The smile at the corner of Mark's mouth had just risen, and the next second he saw a flash of reddish-brown flying past his head, and the smile was frozen at the corner of his mouth.
The target of the pass is not Levi.
Mark: ...I couldn't control my body anymore. I threw my weight forward and rushed out onto the street. I saw a red figure in front of Levi from the corner of my vision.
That's...number eighty-seven, Kelsey?
Mark and Bowman fell into a ball, completely losing their vision at this time.
"Uh, this..."
"Obviously, both Mark and Bowman thought that Smith's passing target was Levi; but in fact, Levi and Kelsey ran an overlapping route, one shallow area and one deep area, and the passing target was completely controlled by Smith. In the end, Levi becomes a smokescreen and Smith and Kelsey connect.”
"This is an eight-yard short pass. Smith once again showed his precise control in the short passing area; but the real hero is definitely Levi."
"Wow!"
"Whether he is running the ball or catching the ball, Levi now has the ability to act as a super bait. As long as he is on the court, no one can ignore his presence."
"And, he's even helping Kelsey with pick-and-rolls."
"Run the ball. Pass the ball. Split the ball. Levi's presence is everywhere, like a shadow hanging over the Oakland Raiders."
Second gear ten yards?
No, under Levi's screen and pick-off, Kelsey advanced a full twenty-three yards, and this time he was tackled and fell to the ground while surrounded by three sides.
So, what is offensive explosive power——
This is explosive power.
When Mark and Bowman stood up, what they worried about still happened. Levi once again acted as a bait. When they paid attention to one thing and missed the other, they stepped in despite reminding themselves again and again not to be easily fooled.
After exchanging glances, Mark could see Levi turning around and looking over.
His eyes were as bright as a torch and he wouldn't give an inch.
There were no words or actions, just a murderous look was enough to easily ignite the flames and fill the air with gunpowder smoke.
What comes and goes, this is called reciprocity.
Mark felt aggrieved for a while: Was that rookie provoking him just now? Okay, very good. In that case, let them fight it out on the field, and he will fulfill the rookie's wish.
This time, Mark intercepted Levi at the line of scrimmage for the first time in the game. He roared to the sky like the Incredible Hulk.
On that side, Levi and Kelsey once again cooperated to pass the defensive team. This time, Kelsey picked up the ball and Levi advanced, completing a thrilling third-speed six-yard conversion.
Here, Bowman stepped forward to tackle Hill in time. Although Hill completed the ball, he almost lost the ball, and the intensity of the defense also increased.
On that side, Hunter came on as a wide receiver and helped the team complete a third-and-4-yard conversion.
You come and go, the bayonet is red, and the audience can feel the blood and murderous atmosphere on the court without further explanation from the commentator.
And, it detonated at the front of the red zone.
Originally, the Oakland Raiders had completed a beautiful strikeout, but it was ruined because Kelsey, who was not on the ball in Carey's defense, fouled and was also penalized for yards.
Similarly, Hunter of the Kansas Chiefs had completed a five-yard short pass and reached the edge of the end zone, but was invalidated for a jersey-pull foul and was even penalized ten yards.
Yellow flags kept appearing, disrupting the progress of the game.
Players on both sides were obviously fired up, and the tension between their rivals in the same district continued to escalate. The Oakland Raiders realized that they had to stop their opponents' offense, and the Kansas Chiefs also realized that they had to hold back their opponents' rising momentum. The momentum of the entire first half was focused on This time in offense and defense.
Although the game became fragmented, I have to say that this is normal——
The Oakland Raiders are not weak persimmons who are unable to fight back, and the Kansas City Chiefs are not the swordsmen who have won six consecutive games at the beginning of the season.
The one-sided opening "0:17" is more like an illusion, and the real battlefield that determines the outcome is entered before the eyes.
