Chapter 405 Interlocking


Chapter 405: Interlocking
The situation is tense and stalemate.

Bystanders can empathize with it, while those in authority are completely immersed in it. Every inch of skin and every cell can feel the tight heat and sharpness.

Levi took a deep breath, stared at the court intently, and his brain was running at high speed. Although he had anticipated difficulties in the pre-game preparations, when he actually faced the Jacksonville Jaguars defense, they continued to break expectations. The pressure and impact were beyond imagination. .

A slightly similar defense to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but better.

The biggest feature of the Jacksonville Jaguars' defense is that it has no core players. Neither center linebacker Poslusny nor defensive tackle Jackson are such leaders. Instead, they are interlocking and helping each other.

Comparable to the Nine Links.

and.

Head coach Ma Ruo completely ignores the offense and focuses all his attention on on-the-spot command of defensive tactics, relying solely on defense to open up the situation.

Whether it was passing pressure or zone defense, his on-the-spot reaction was quick and alert, firmly holding the lifeblood of Kansas Chiefs offensive coordinator Nagy. From the pre-game preparation, he was half a step ahead of Reed, and then reacted on the spot to suppress Nagy. With half a step, the advantage will be completely established.

Comprehensive suppression——

In other words, including Levi, no matter who is advancing with the ball, they will often face a series of defenses. They are rarely able to get out of one-on-one gaps and are pinched by their opponents from a tactical level. Stay in the lifeblood.

As mentioned before, the only irreversible advantage in a football game is the comparison of numbers. Even "Beast Mode" Lynch or Gronkowski can only fall into a struggling quagmire in a three-man defense.

There is no doubt that this is a new test in Levi's short football career.

In the past, Levi was able to find a player as a breakthrough, but not today. The average strength of the defensive front and linebackers was close, with no obvious shortcomings. In addition, the players helped each other, making it difficult to break through relying on individual strength.

So, what does this mean?
Challenge!

Even after being in the league for a full season, there are still endless challenges, and to be honest, Levi is a little excited.

At this point, focus intently on the Jacksonville Jaguars offense.

Fournette also encountered tough zone defense from the Kansas Chiefs' defensive front and continued to run into obstacles.

The running back who relied on the tough bulldozer mode to open up the situation in the NCAA tried to replicate his strong performance in college, but obviously this method did not work -

Houston made another clean tackle, intercepting Fournette's running ball and forcing the Jacksonville Jaguars into a third-down eight-yard deficit.

Quarterback Bortles had to pass the ball, but facing the Kansas Chiefs' not-so-powerful second-line defense, Bortles' pass was still shaky and shaky, and ended up with an incomplete pass and a strikeout.

Another strikeout.

The score is still "0:0". Such a game is indeed a kind of torture.

Fournette stood there filled with anger, with a fire burning in his chest. He was frustrated and irritated. He turned to look at Levi, who was wearing a helmet and preparing to appear on the edge of the court, and glared hard. He wanted to roar but couldn't. .

He knew that the opportunity now lay in the hands of the running back. Whoever could take the lead in attacking from the ground would be able to overwhelm the east wind and take advantage of the west wind. However, he hit the wall again and again. He was angry with himself and annoyed with Levi. , all kinds of emotions collide together.

stuffy!
However, Levi didn't care about him at all. He was talking and laughing with Kelsey and Smith beside him, as if they were having a picnic.

Fournette held his breath, turned around and left the court angrily.

When he saw the defensive team preparing to appear, especially Ramsey who kept jumping on the spot and gearing up, this made the fire in Fournette's chest calm down a little:

Even though he didn't take advantage of the opportunity, Levi didn't have any luck either.

It's okay, he will be able to open up the situation next time.

"Oh, oh oh oh!" There was an exclamation from the Hengjiu Bank Center. Fournette turned around and looked -

The Jacksonville Jaguars special team made a great contribution. They just completed a beautiful punt and the football landed more than 30 yards near the Kansas City Chiefs half.

However, due to the irregular flight of the football, the returner was unable to catch the ball smoothly and could only let the football fall to the ground and roll out before controlling it——

According to the rules, if the Kansas City Chiefs touch the ball but fail to control the football, the ball will be reopened, allowing the Jacksonville Jaguars to compete, complete the ball conversion, and even create a touchdown; but if the Kansas City Chiefs do not touch the ball, Down, the Jacksonville Jaguars were able to touch the ball but couldn't take it away.

Therefore, when dealing with some irregular balls, the returner may simply move out of the way and give up touching the ball to avoid causing a transfer of ball rights.

Unexpectedly, the Jacksonville Jaguars special team quickly followed up with a series of pick-and-roll interceptions, blocking the Kansas Chiefs' special team and letting the football roll.

In the end, the Jacksonville Jaguars special team intercepted the football three yards ahead of the end zone and controlled it before it rolled into the end zone without letting the Kansas City Chiefs special team touch the ball.

The home fans collectively cheered, whistled and applauded.

Although the score remained the same, the Jacksonville Jaguars did firmly take the initiative. Not only the defensive team, but also the special teams also performed well amidst the roar of support at home.

This means that the Kansas Chiefs avoid the dilemma of transferring the ball, but the offense must start the offense three yards ahead of the end zone.

Opportunity for the Jacksonville Jaguars!
This is a troublesome position. If you are not careful, it may break the balance. Don’t forget, the name of the Jacksonville Jaguars this season:

"Capture Village".

Once the Jacksonville Jaguars successfully sack Smith in the end zone, it's a safe score, two points, and the defense can also break the deadlock.

Involuntarily, Fournette also clenched his fists in celebration. From the corner of his vision, he could see the unconcerned Ramsey starting to take small steps on the spot. He looked eager to try, and his strong confidence radiated from the inside out.

Not only Ramsey, but the other defensive frontmen and linebackers were all bright-eyed, and they all realized that this could be a turning point in the game.

Hey hey, the Kansas City Chiefs are in trouble.

The Old Oak Tavern also knows this.

When Provos pushed the door open and came in, this was what he saw——

"Disaster Star".

That was the only thought in Provos' mind. He felt that he should leave, that he was the ominous person who had put the team in such trouble.

But West was one step ahead of him and silently placed a glass of beer on the bar. Without saying anything, he turned around and looked at the TV screen again.

Provos looked at the tavern, which was filled with red jerseys. There was no place to stay, as if there was no place for him.

The next second, they were shouting.

"fly!"

"fly!"

Involuntarily, Provos also became excited and excited, and then, on the TV screen, the Kansas Chiefs offensive team appeared on the stage.

Provos stood there in a daze, and after all, he was still unwilling to leave. He silently shouted with all the fans in his heart.

"fly!"
