Chapter 346 Traveling Lightly
“Wow.”

"I mean, wow."

In the live broadcast room, even Pash, the well-informed commentator, was at a loss for words and kept sighing like a fool. It was so intense, so close, so tense, it was worthy of the playoffs.

"The game is not over."

"Although Henry's fumble was changed, the Kansas Chiefs defensive team was not affected. They immediately focused and showed their intensity and courage."

"One sack, one interception."

"The Kansas City Chiefs struck out the Tennessee Titans in a very clean and crisp manner, giving Smith a chance to play again."

"Now, there are only one minute and 48 seconds left before the end of the game. There are no more two-minute timeouts. Both teams have three timeouts each. Everything is possible."

"The point is, '22:21', one point difference, the Kansas Chiefs only need a free kick to kill, and the Tennessee Titans' defense will be under tremendous pressure."

"Moreover, the Tennessee Titans' punt just now was of average effect. The Kansas Chiefs will attack from their own 31-yard line, and it is entirely possible to advance the free kick range."

"Everything depends on the Kansas Chiefs offense."

On the edge of the field.

Henry didn't rest. Although he was annoyed and frustrated, he had no time to immerse himself in his thoughts now. He stared at Levi intently.

He has not forgotten that it was Levi's voice that inspired the fighting spirit of Houston and the others, and now Levi finally gets a chance to play for himself. This is a battle between the two teams, and it is also the battle between their two running backs. battle between.

Henry's heart curled up——

Henry and Levi each played well for half of the game, and then it depends on their performance at the critical moment.

The Kansas Chiefs offense has arrived.

Our own side has thirty-one yards, and the first gear has ten yards.

Smith took a deep breath. Although he had experienced hundreds of battles, every time he faced such a moment, his heart was still beating wildly out of control.

Then, Smith subconsciously looked at Levi.

Sure enough, he was smiling as if he were out for a walk.

As if aware of Smith's gaze, Levi took the initiative to look over, his eyes flashing with eagerness. He was ready to fight, which made Smith's blood boil with excitement.

Very good, then sound the battle horn!
When Smith is reading the defense, Levi is also reading the defense——

He knows that this is the job of the quarterback; but the running back also needs to know all offensive and defensive positions well in order to find his position on the field.

The Tennessee Titans defense is indeed facing a dilemma.

Because what they need to defend is not only the touchdown, but also the Kansas Chiefs cannot get the first attack and enter the free kick range. This means that the defensive tactics must be thought out clearly, and they cannot lose sight of one thing or the other.

In the second half, the Tennessee Titans effectively limited the Kansas Chiefs' offense; but they did not forget the fear of being dominated by the Kansas Chiefs in the first half.

Going back and forth, the Tennessee Titans' defensive positioning is worth studying.

Counter-marking.

Levi could see that the Tennessee Titans showed their decisiveness. They did not prepare to press the front line and rush the pass. Instead, they hoarded heavy troops in the short passing area to guard against Smith's short pass. They insisted on pressing closely from the Kansas Chiefs halftime. The strategy was to use physical strength and energy to suppress Smith's counterattack.

The Kansas Chiefs' offense has no tricks, it's just an honest pistol formation——

Two receivers on the left and two receivers on the right.

But if you look closely, you can see that tight end Kelsey is standing on the right side, which is the strong side; and Levi is also standing on the right side, reinforcing the strong side.

So, is this a smoke bomb?

The air was slightly tight.

The Kansas City Chiefs are watching the Tennessee Titans, and the Tennessee Titans are watching the Kansas City Chiefs.

Among them, linebacker Olakapo was the most wary. This season, the Tennessee Titans' defensive performance has been ups and downs. The team's second-line defense is riddled with holes and has suffered injuries along the way. Most of their brightest moments come from the defensive front and linebackers.

Olakapo entered the league in 2009 and was selected to the Pro Bowl four times. Although he has never been the most dominant linebacker in the league, he has always had a large number of fan support——

This is his first career playoff game.

From the Washington Redskins to the Tennessee Titans, Olacapo has been waiting for a chance to show off and prove himself, and now he's finally here.

As a linebacker, the importance of reading offensive positions goes without saying; and he knows that the team's second-line defense is unreliable and can easily fall behind at critical moments, so he is even more focused at this time.

Then Olakapo noticed Levi.

Wait, isn’t it?
“Attack!”

Before Olakapo could even think about it, Smith had already announced the kickoff. From the corner of his eye, he could see the four Kansas Chiefs receivers flying out like arrows, instantly killing the Tennessee Titans. The guard is pushed back, and a small gap appears in the short passing area like a scroll opening.

Oops!

Olakapo immediately realized the crisis and rushed towards Levi without delay.

As soon as it started, Olakapo saw Smith and Levi complete a fake handoff. The football was still in Smith's hands. Olakapo's thoughts were a little unable to keep up, and he was hesitating whether he should mark Smith or follow Levi— —

window.

Competitive sports are ever-changing. In the short moment of Olakapo's hesitation, Smith passed the ball.

Short pass. Five yards.

The rugby ball did not pull out a parabola, but a straight arrow, pulling Olakapo's gaze towards it.

Levi!

It’s actually Levi!
Of course it’s Levi!
If anyone still forgets that Levi can run tactical routes as a wide receiver, then they deserve to lose.

Olakapo's heart tightened, and he followed suit and tried to pull it sideways.

As a result, hit the wall!
Kelsey?
Oracapo was stunned and collided with Kelsey. What about Levi?

"Quick short pass!"

"Beautiful! Smith feinted a shot, passed the defensive team with a fake run and passed the real pass, and delayed the shot to find Levi again!"

"Kelsey's pick-and-roll screen bought Levi room to advance. Levi was not greedy and ran along the diagonal line for the first time. Before the cornerback intercepted, he had already gone out of bounds and stopped the clock!"

"Ten yards in first gear, easy to get, and stop the clock smoothly."

"Wow!"

"The Kansas City Chiefs' passing attack moved smoothly into Smith's most comfortable position, and the Tennessee Titans cornerbacks were unable to stop Levi."

"The situation is not good!"

As expected, the Kansas Chiefs' pass defense immediately opened up the situation. Nagy, who was responsible for calling tactics on the spot, was not greedy. He made short passes, sidelines, and out-of-bounds stops every time, eroding the Tennessee Titans' position bit by bit——

Obviously, the goal is to score a free kick.

In terms of passing targets, Nagy finally played the essence of Reid's dazzling passing attack. Three wide receivers, a tight end and a running back cooperated in twos at will, with one player responsible for pick-and-roll coverage and one running back. Players were responsible for receiving the ball, and the already fast-paced short passing offense did not give the Tennessee Titans defensive team enough breathing room.

One step, another step.

In the blink of an eye, the Kansas Chiefs had crossed half court, and without even wasting a timeout, they were within 40 yards of the Tennessee Titans' half.

The free kick range is already within easy reach!

Be it the Kansas Chiefs or the Tennessee Titans, both teams were on the edge of the cliff and colliding with each other without giving in, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The whole place was filled with blood.
