Chapter 663 Three times in third gear
Hubble is still an expert——
Currently, the Kansas Chiefs' offense ranks first in the league. Not only does it rank first in scoring, but it also ranks first in passing offense and running offense. The offensive battle with the Los Angeles Rams was a smooth one with no peeing.
Facing such a young, vigorous and in-form Kansas Chiefs team, the Baltimore Ravens are indeed at a disadvantage. Their offensive team is not enough to attack their opponents, and their defensive team is not enough to stop their opponents.
It is basically an impossible task for the Baltimore Ravens to completely contain the Kansas Chiefs' offense; if too many troops are invested in this area, they may lose sight of one thing and put the team in trouble.
Therefore, Hubble did not act foolishly and fight to the death with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Instead, Hubble left gaps and loopholes. Through the guidance of pass rush and pressure, he gave the Kansas Chiefs offensive team some room to move, and even mentally prepared the Kansas Chiefs to score an early touchdown; but step by step, he disrupted Mahomes. Mahomes' rhythm puts Mahomes into a game mode that is uncomfortable and unfamiliar to him.
If Mahomes has started for two and three seasons now, has rich experience, and has developed a more diverse and inclusive playing style, and can make on-the-spot adjustments according to the opponent's strategy, then Hubble's strategy may not be effective immediately. The game between the two sides will continue.
But Harbaugh took advantage of Mahomes's lack of game experience and staged a trick that quietly disrupted Mahomes' game rhythm.
Then, take the initiative.
In other words, take one step and see ten steps.
It has just begun, and Hubble is already focusing on the layout of the entire game.
Not just Mahomes, but Reid too.
Reid is a clear observer, looking at the whole game based on the overall situation. He can vaguely see Hubble's strategy; but the point is that the Baltimore Ravens defensive team's tactics were well executed in the opening stage and did not give the Kansas Chiefs much room to adjust, so Reid did not Changing tactics in a hurry——
Wait and see what happens.
Therefore, in the opening stage, the game formed a subtle stalemate.
The Baltimore Ravens forced the Kansas City Chiefs into third-down situations three times.
However, the Kansas Chiefs successfully converted three times on third gear to continue the offense.
Undercurrents surge and tension spreads.
Including Levi is no exception.
This is Levi's second season, but in terms of experience, he is still not enough.
Levi could vaguely detect the trap of the Baltimore Ravens defensive team, but for a while he couldn't tell what the problem was with this situation.
However, the stalemate in the scene is the best proof——
While the Kansas City Chiefs keep pushing, the Baltimore Ravens must be doing something right to keep the Kansas City Chiefs in third gear.
Now, Levi is in it, and has no time to examine the overall situation, and has no way to grasp the context. He is also involved in this storm; but Levi's brain continues to spin, and he observes carefully while immersed in it:
They should How to break the stalemate?
Before the game, all the bustling attention was focused on Levi and Lamar Jackson's first professional match.
In college, Levi was a mountain that Jackson could never overcome. Now entering the professional league is a completely new chapter——
To be more precise, maybe the two players can continue to be rivals; but maybe not. After all, there are not too many players who are shining brightly in the NCAA but are unknown in the professional leagues. There are not even one thousand but eight hundred.
Lamar Jackson is like a lucky star that brought three consecutive victories to the Baltimore Ravens. Coupled with the experience of being underestimated, ignored and ignored in the draft, Jackson's professional league debut is even more legendary, which makes "Jackson VS Levi" "The topic has become interesting.
However, Li Wei didn’t think so——
Lamar Jackson, who?
Don't expect Levi to remember the names of his defeated opponents in college. After all, the list may be a bit long. Everyone is eager for revenge, but Levi doesn't have so much time and energy to search through the memory pictures one by one.
More importantly, Levi's attention is entirely on the defensive team.
This season, the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams and other teams have indeed improved their defensive quality as expected, which has indeed made Levi feel more challenges.
Let's talk about it, Levi's performance is still top-notch. He currently leads the league in both running yards and touchdowns. In addition, he also performs well in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He is undoubtedly the leader of running backs. figure. Levi was not satisfied with this.
There is nothing to be happy about defeating those weak mid-range teams and weak lower-tier teams. The collision with those top defensive teams is the focus.
(They were swept in Week 5 of the regular season) Jacksonville Jaguars: Hey, are you polite?
Levi is looking forward to challenging Donald of the Los Angeles Rams again in the future. Naturally, Levi cannot miss a strong defensive team like the Baltimore Ravens——
Any duel is an excellent opportunity to polish yourself and improve yourself.
Lamar Jackson?
If he knew how to tackle running backs, Levi would be willing to take a second look at him.
In front of him, Levi's blood could not help but boil as soon as the show started.
Baltimore Ravens halftime, 45-yard line, first down and ten yards.
It's still the Kansas Chiefs' ball.
Then.
The Baltimore Ravens still maintain a similar strategy with similar rhythm and intensity. They do not need to spend all their strength trying to sack Mahomes in a desperate attempt to avoid the crisis of being attacked by Mahomes in the backcourt; at the same time, they can defend effectively. Keep your own initiative.
Defensive efficiency, very good.
As a result, Levi was stopped again——
Advance three yards.
Seven yards on second down, the Kansas Chiefs' offense still seemed fragmented.
Levi stood up. He had not been surrounded just now, he was just facing off against Suggs in a one-on-one match, but all around he could see Baltimore Ravens players staring at him, wearing black jerseys like demons from hell.
Coupled with the cold weather, Levi was unable to fully control the football in Suggs's hand during the impact. He was slightly distracted in order to protect the football, and ended up being tackled and fell to the ground.
Invisible intensity and pressure enveloped the Kansas Chiefs offense.
Levi stood up and threw the football to the referee. He did not quickly line up, but stood there and thought for a while, recalling the position and formation of the Baltimore Ravens defensive team just now——
It is not layer by layer, but fragmented.
There seems to be a space of about five to ten yards left intentionally between the defensive front and second line.
So, is this an invitation to put you in a urn?
“Rookie?”
Mahomes called out.
Levi raised his head and responded, but didn't say much and quickly returned to the formation.
Mahomes didn't think too much and took the time to lay out the tactics.
Then, line them all up.
Bend his knees and lower his center of gravity, Levi carefully observed the defensive team's formation, trying to dig out more from the floor plan on paper.
call.
Because of the cold weather, if you open your mouth slightly, you can see the cold air coming out, the air and the stadium appear particularly clear and translucent, the skin is completely tight, almost bursting, and a slight sting spreads on the surface of the arm.
A loud sound pierced the sky, startling the birds.
"attack!"
