Chapter 749 Opening Statement
"Lark."
"Lark!"
"Defensive end Chris Jones got rid of the sack he was aiming for!"
"incredible!"
"Andrew Luck showed unparalleled determination and courage under pressure!"
"Luck regained the passing space. The Kansas Chiefs defense was obviously slow and failed to enter the state. Luck is moving. Luck is observing Luck and is looking for a passing target."
"Lark!"
"Oh, God."
Draw the bow to full length and shoot at the giant eagle, which is shocking.
The football drew a thrilling parabola, crossed half the field, flew fifty-one yards, and aimed at the opposite end zone.
A figure, riding a white horse, like lightning, broke through the blockade of the huge red wave, took the lead to break through the encirclement, and galloped towards the rugby ball.
TY-Hilton, a wide receiver who entered the league in the same draft as Luck, was also Luck's best passing target and was selected to the Pro Bowl for five consecutive seasons.
This season, Hilton's performance has been mediocre, far below expectations, and he has been completely overwhelmed by the outstanding performance of the new generation of wide receivers.
However, entering the playoffs, Hilton still found his former glory.
The Indianapolis Colts played explosively in the opening stage, withstanding the frontcourt pressure from the Kansas City Chiefs, sneaking into the backcourt with long passes without warning, and catching the American League's No. 1 seed off guard with a tough stance.
Hilton, ride through the sky alone.
In a blink of an eye, only safety Daniel Sorensen was left in front.
This season, the Kansas Chiefs' second-line defense is riddled with holes and unsustainable. Injuries have disrupted their plans, so that the team's pass defense has been passive.
Sorenson, the No. 4 safety last season, competed for the starting position during the offseason, but missed most of the season due to injury. He was the starter until the end of the season and is currently performing well.
But the playoffs?
It's the first time.
Sorensen hurriedly attached himself to Hilton, trying to use his body to block the position. Unexpectedly, Hilton took the initiative to push Sorensen forward and suppressed Sorensen with his body weight, preventing Sorensen from using his strength.
In the end, Hilton just relied on Sorensen, took the football into his arms, continuously bumped and retreated, and pressed Sorensen with his back.
All the way to breaking Sorensen's center of gravity.
With another turn, Hilton easily broke into the end zone and scored a touchdown.
"Wow! Beautiful!"
"Brilliant! Indescribable!"
"The Indianapolis Colts showed their determination to win in the first wave of offense."
"At the beginning, the away team guessed the coin and unusually did not choose to attack later, but proactively chose to attack first. We all thought this was a strategy."
"Well, this is indeed a strategy, not only at the momentum level, but also at the tactical level. The Indianapolis Colts obviously formulated a detailed strategy and showed their belief in the opening stage."
"Facing the Kansas City Chiefs, the Indianapolis Colts are ready to upset their opponents and advance."
"As a reminder, in the 2013 playoffs, it was the wild card round. The Kansas Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts had an unparalleled offensive battle at Lucas Oil Stadium."
"In the end, it was the Indianapolis Colts led by Luck who narrowly defeated the Kansas Chiefs by one point with a score of '45:44' and advanced with their heads held high."
"The Kansas City Chiefs have gone through a series of painful playoff losses over the years, but that one was without a doubt a painful pinnacle."
"Standing in front of the Kansas Chiefs again, Luck is not afraid of his opponent at all." "Beautiful!"
"In the opening stage, Luck ignored the bad influence of the snowy weather and proved that his passing touch was no problem with a 51-yard long pass; more importantly, Luck activated Hilton. After a whole season of sluggishness, Hilton has already Are you ready to explode in the playoffs?"
"This is not good news for the Kansas City Chiefs."
"Next, it's up to the young Kansas Chiefs offense."
"Of course, they've had bad weather, last season in Foxborough against the New England Patriots, the weather was even worse, but the key is whether Mahomes, the young second-year quarterback, can Stand firm and firmly grasp the rhythm of the attack.”
On the court, Levi noticed it immediately:
Luck.
After completing the touchdown, Hilton seemed particularly excited and slammed the football to the ground, venting his frustration of being sluggish throughout the season. Taking the lead in scoring the touchdown at Arrowhead Stadium was undoubtedly a morale booster.
Luck did the same, clenching his fists and roaring at Chris Jones; Jones looked particularly annoyed and almost succeeded in sacking him.
But Levi noticed one detail: Luck had been moving his right shoulder.
In the past few seasons, Luck has been unlucky and has experienced multiple injuries, including a ruptured kidney; but the most serious one was his shoulder injury last season, which directly declared him out of action for the entire season, and he did not return until this year.
So, what does this scene mean?
This is not to say that he is preparing to cause Luck to be injured. As a professional player, Levi understands the pain of injuries better than anyone else and really does not want to see injuries; even if it is for victory, the duel should be carried out in an upright manner.
Those dirty methods are disdainful and unnecessary.
but.
From another perspective, injuries are also part of the game and they need to carefully observe their opponents.
If Luck feels pain in his shoulder again, the long pass at the beginning is a shock and a warning, but it may not be a desperate risk, because Luck may need to take the shot faster next. Once he feels the pressure of passing the ball, he will feel the pressure of passing the ball. It will get bigger and bigger.
what does that mean?
Adjustments at the tactical level.
You can see Jones's furrowed brows at a glance, his head lowered and immersed in his own thoughts.
Levi stepped forward and patted Jones on the shoulder, "Man, you did a great job. Be patient, you just need to be patient, the game has just begun now."
Jones raised his head and looked at Levi, with a little confusion in his eyes.
But Levi did not stay any longer. As for the defensive team, he was not professional and could just stop there. There was no need to give further instructions.
Turning towards Mahomes, the offense prepares to take the field.
Kelsey also came over, silent, and looked at the court silently.
The game is still the same game, but the mentality and will are completely different.
"7:0".
After the Indianapolis Colts team successfully scored the extra point, the offensive right came to the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Arrowhead Stadium instantly burst out with amazing energy——
"fly!"
Annie immediately clenched her fists, raised her arms and shouted, turned to look at Jenna and Jeff, the light in her eyes completely burned, and she used all her strength to express her joy.
Jenna tried to stop Annie, but Jeff watched the raging heat of Arrowhead Stadium on the TV screen and stopped Jenna.
There is no way to go to the scene to watch, nor can she go to the hospital to watch with her friends. Anne can only stay at home. It would be too cruel if she can't even cheer and support.
Then, Jeff smiled at Annie and also raised his arms and shouted.
"fly!"
