Chapter 597 Twin Stars Shine
The whole audience exclaimed.
Six yards from the second gear, Mahomes opened up a shotgun formation and launched an attack. After narrowly dodging a sack crisis, he aimed a 40-yard pass in the red zone, preparing to connect with Hunter to complete a fatal blow.
Pass the ball, get it right.
The steps are in place.
Hunter's route was precise, passing through the Pittsburgh Steelers' heavy defense and cutting into the red zone. He was about to complete a long pass and catch a touchdown to end this stalemate offensive and defensive confrontation, but he encountered an interception at the critical moment.
Safety Edmond.
The rookie gritted his teeth and prepared to counterattack Mahomes' last trick. He jumped half a step ahead and completed the interception, almost completing the interception in front of Hunter.
Just a little bit closer.
It was a pity that he missed the interception, but Edmond still destroyed the pass and snatched the cooked duck from Hunter's mouth.
Arrowhead Stadium in shock —
One was the surprise of a long touchdown run.
Once it was because of the fear of being intercepted.
at last.
In a state of astonishment, with six yards on third down, the Kansas Chiefs once again faced difficulties. This was already the third third down situation in this wave of offense for the Kansas Chiefs. This detail can show the stalemate of the game.
The air is getting tighter and tighter.
However.
"Rookie!"
Felix immediately cheered when he saw Levi appearing again.
The same goes for everyone else, and the sound at Arrowhead Stadium immediately began to coalesce.
In this wave of attacks, Levi was severely exhausted and forced to break through in beast mode. The scene was very beautiful, but the cost was equally serious, so Levi and Hunter took turns to appear on the stage, and every minute and second of rest was precious time to recover blood.
Still, Levi was needed at the critical moment of six yards on third down.
Tomlin can refuse to admit Bell's important position in the Pittsburgh Steelers; but every time Levi comes on the court, he still needs to be fully alert——
I won’t admit it with my mouth, but my body is very honest.
Not only Tomlin, but also the Kansas Chiefs offensive team seemed to have found the magic needle in the sea. Looking at Levi's calm expression, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
The same goes for Mahomes.
Levi patted Mahomes on the shoulder, and the offense immediately lined up.
No pause, no rest, the Kansas City Chiefs were ready to kick off.
"attack!"
Mahomes' voice cut through the parched air.
You can see immediately that the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive team showed a level of quality——
First line, defensive line, blitz.
The second line, the linebackers, stepped up slightly to apply pressure, but did not lose their position in the short passing area.
The third line, close guard against each other.
There is order in the chaos, and there are mountains upon mountains.
Worthy of being a strong traditional defensive team, Tomlin is like Doraemon, constantly taking out weapons from his treasure bag and using endless methods.
This time, the focus will be on raids, supplemented by matchups, and the focus will be on pass defense.
This tactic has been used several times in the first quarter of the game, but the effect was mediocre; now it is an upgraded version, or an improved version:
The real key is at linebacker.
The four linebackers, standing staggered along the horizontal axis, did not step up immediately or lose their position. They could advance, attack, retreat or defend. Moreover, the four players could divide their labor and cooperate at any time to respond to different situations.
Moreover, the four players remained motionless in the chaos when red and black were fully activated, like messengers from hell. The psychological pressure created on the visual level could easily break the balance.
This should be another hidden tactic of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
So, what about the Kansas City Chiefs?
Mahomes is moving laterally with the ball - passing offense.
Levi followed Mahomes step by step, playing the role of a mobile protector. He bent his knees, lowered his center of gravity, and looked ahead like a hunter, firmly targeting any potential disturbance.
Mahomes moves laterally while reading the defense, maintaining a high degree of concentration. From his movements and status, it can be easily judged:
This is a pass.
Moreover, there is a high probability that it will be a medium pass or a long pass.
In an instant, the four Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers moved.
A pass rusher steps up and cuts into the pocket from the outside, ready to interfere with Mahomes' pass. If he can get a sack, that would be great.
The two retreated to cover the mid-pass area, constantly judging the positions of the receiving players, trying to judge Mahomes' passing intention from the position of the receiving target.
One stood still, intently focused on the movements of Mahomes and Levi.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
Then.
Mahomes moved.
Kick off the ground, turn around, and swing your arms.
The direction of the pass was clearly...Hill, who had already rushed at least twenty yards.
Startled, TJ, the last linebacker who stayed in place, also quickly retreated, stopped and turned, sprinted with all his strength, and ran in the direction of Hill.
The next second.
Mahomes took back his right hand, threw it laterally, and handed the football to Levi.
Fake fax runs.
It turned out to be a fake fax!
Using tactics that looked just like real ones, the Pittsburgh Steelers used layers of defense to form a steel curtain. In a flash of lightning, the situation was immediately overturned.
TJ: Damn it.
Hayward held his breath, stepped forward, stepped forward, threw his body out desperately, and stumbled towards Levi, the anger in his chest burning, and a bloody murderous look instantly burst out in his eyes.
Kick off the ground, step forward, grapple——
Intercept impact.
Caught off guard, Hayward's step forward was hit by a vertical impact. His chest felt tight and he flew out completely out of control.
As he soared into the air and drifted away, Hayward took a moment to slow down and saw Mahomes's rushing figure. His mind was in a state of confusion. He couldn't believe that he had missed the horse. Holmes.
But it's too late.
Just now, Levi protected Mahomes.
Now, Mahomes protects Levi.
Mahomes knocked away Hayward, and Levi was able to continue moving forward without encountering any impact; Mahomes also quickly adjusted his footsteps and center of gravity to immediately catch up with Levi, guarding him like a small tank.
Directly ahead, Mahomes saw TJ returning.
Mahomes knew that TJ was prepared and would not be able to get rid of it so easily, so he forced himself to speed up, catch up with Levi, and stand on the right side of Levi's body.
Sure enough, Li Wei understood it and turned diagonally forward to the right to get out of the way.
Then.
Mahomes was like a wooden stake, his hands cleverly placed on both sides of his body, lowering his center of gravity, maintaining a posture to welcome the impact, intercepting TJ on the way to tackle Levi, TJ and Mahomes collided. Levi continues to win room to advance.
A series of steps, flowing like clouds and flowing water——
The layers of steel curtains surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers collapsed like dominoes.
The seemingly airtight defense was shattered by the Kansas City Chiefs' clever time difference attack and realistic performance of fake running. The momentum of the entire offensive and defensive duel was instantly reversed 180 degrees.
Levi did not encounter any threats. He had already crossed the line of scrimmage and rushed five yards. Just as his speed was about to be completely released, he could see cornerback Artie Burrow running towards him like a wild horse on the right front. Enns.
It's coming fiercely!
