478 The Enemy Is Difficult

Although the Minnesota Vikings team officially received an official warning from the NFL that they lost a while before the game, after the game officially started, the gunpowder smell of the two sides did not decline but rose. The home team and the away team seemed to be holding their breath, hoping to tear the opponent to pieces.

This also laid the tone of the entire game-

The rough collision ran through the whole audience, the yellow flag was flying all over the sky, and the insults and curses were everywhere... and the oppressive mistakes were intermittent.

Compared with the opening game, the Minnesota Vikings' offensive team finally made adjustments, with veteran quarterback Gus-Frerotte replacing Travis Jackson as the starting quarterback, but the 37-year-old quarterback is far from being outstanding.

Compared to Travis, Forrerot is indeed more daring to pass the ball, which also made the Minnesota Vikings' passing offense slightly improve and relieved the pressure of ground attack. However, Forrerot's passing accuracy, turnover rate and other data are difficult to satisfy, and the improvement is limited.

Running back Adrian Peterson is still the team's well-deserved offensive core, using his legs to support the entire team in a staggering manner.

But it must be admitted that the Minnesota Vikings' defensive team is indeed a new look, especially the overall recovery and improvement of the defensive front line - not only the pressure ability of the front line, but also the control of the short pass area, which has a completely different appearance from the beginning of the season and is outstanding.

In addition, Childris did his homework and prepared to complete all the work without any slightest slack in the pre-match preparation, which really put huge pressure on Lu Yiqi.

However, pressure is just pressure and cannot create a substantial threat—

Childris is ready, isn't Lu Yiqi the same?

He despises his opponent strategically and attaches importance to his opponent tactically. Lu Yiqi's pre-match preparations are only much greater than those of his opponent.

Moreover, with the on-site command and dispatch of tactics, Lu Yiqi even clamped Childries with a snake, forcing the Minnesota Vikings to be in trouble on both sides of the offense and defense. In the end, he could only rely on star players like Adrian Peterson or Jared Allen to stand up and rely on personal abilities to solve the problem.

However, this is exactly what Lu Yiqi thought—

When the Minnesota Vikings began to rely on individuals to solve the problem, it meant that Childries had no way to continue to fight.

Then, this stage will become a time for Lu Yiqi to show his skills.

On the offensive end, Rodgers once again showed his big heart of "staying in danger". Even though his pocket protection was repeatedly facing storms, he never lost his own way and was always able to calmly find the passing target in panic.

In just five years, Rogers was recognized by league professionals as "one of the four elite quarterbacks" and reached the top with a super young attitude - while Ben Roslisberg, who won the Super Bowl championship ring as a sophomore, never won such treatment. The key reason is:

Rodgers' touchdown interception ratio was very well controlled. Among all quarterbacks with more than fifty starts, Rodgers' interception ratio was the lowest in history.

This also means that Rodgers can always make the most correct choice in the chaos. Perhaps, his passing accuracy is not as accurate as Drew Brees; perhaps, his tactical awareness is not as good as Payton Manning; perhaps, his short pass layout is not as good as Tom Brady. Of course, Rodgers is not inferior to these technical expertise, but what really makes Rodgers stand in the league and ranks at the top is long pass ability and crisis judgment.

Relatively speaking, Roslisberg and Manning Jr. both won two championship rings, and they both had the ability and were excellent in long passes; but the stable output, mistake control, and crisis handling ability that Rogers had was not available to other excellent quarterbacks.

There is still a difference between excellent and elite.

This year is just Rodgers' first year as the starting quarterback, and he is still immature. The pass choice at critical moments still has room for improvement - the 2008 season was also the year Rodgers' record of the highest interceptions, and has not surpassed it in his career for more than ten years.

Despite this, Rogers initially showed his clear brain and wise choices at critical moments, firmly observing the facts Lu Yiqi's passing tactics, combining length and short, flat and fast, and long-line assault. The varied pass lines made the opponent exhausted.

Compared with the Tennessee Titans the week before, the Minnesota Vikings could not effectively curb Rogers' performance by relying solely on strong pressure from the front line, and the second-tier defense was directly blown up.

On the defensive end, the linebacker's unremitting learning and training finally gradually showed results - the timing of pressure on the front line is on the right track, while Vikings quarterback Forrerot's pocket footsteps are far inferior to Travis, which has also become a breakthrough for the Packers' defense team.

In the first half, he used the unpreventable surprise attack and successfully sacked Forrerot three times, which also put the Vikings offensive team in a deadlock. Childris was forced to the corner step by step, and the offensive tactics circled back to Pitson again, and the tactics became narrower and narrower.

This is exactly the situation Lu Yiqi hopes to create—

When Childress's tactical changes began to become rigid and then regressed to relying on the players' personal abilities to solve problems, the defense team relied on the defensive forward line and the offensive team relied on Peterson. At this time, it was time for Lu Yiqi to "close the net" in a meticulous tactical layout.

Looking at the whole game, the context is particularly clear.

In the first quarter, "7:7", the two sides drew.

In the second quarter, at 17:14, the Green Bay Packers entered the locker room with a free kick.

In the third quarter, "27:21", Green Bay Packers slightly expanded some of their leads.

In the fourth quarter, at 37:24, the Green Bay Packers completely took the initiative, not only further expanded the score gap, but also successfully suppressed their opponents. Even if Peterson still shines, he was unable to turn the situation around.

Wait until the game is over before watching the game video, and you can clearly feel:

This is a process of accumulation of advantages.

From the first quarter to the fourth quarter, Lu Yiqi's overall tactical layout was very clear and particularly clear. He played both offensive and defensive ends, just like a wise and wise chess player, step by step, accurately and exquisitely computed every step of Childries.

This not only makes people sigh at Lu Yiqi's layout ability, but also can still control the situation in the ever-changing confrontation situation of competitive sports, which really shows a superior overall view; it also makes people sigh at Childries' limitations and rigidity, which completely falls into Lu Yiqi's calculations.

It's like a monkey who cannot escape from the palm of Tathagata Buddha.
