772 The End of the Road
Ahhhhh!
Green Bay Packers fans are roaring.
Roar roar roar!
New York Giants fans are also roaring.
A controversial penalty, the anger and emotions of the fans of both home and away games were aroused, and the shouts were pouring down overwhelmingly. The entire Giants Stadium was trembling, and even the haze covering the sky seemed to be dispersed, and the heaven and earth changed color.
The New York Giants survived death, looking forward to being able to firmly grasp the last thirty-nine seconds and reverse the game.
Green Bay Packers missed their opponents and looked forward to continuing their momentum to suppress their opponents and regaining the initiative.
Against both sides, no one can give in.
Not to mention the fans on the scene, even the audience in front of the TV could not help but hold their breath. At this time, all the thoughts in their minds had been completely cleared. Tension and excitement were the only thoughts. They clenched their fists without realizing it, and even the power of the beating heart seemed to have been forgotten.
However, players and coaches standing on the court cannot be so excited. On the contrary, they must remain absolutely calm and focus all their attention on the game. Any little distraction can become a gap for opponents to break through, and no one can take it lightly.
All they need to do is to turn all the emotions brought by the controversial penalty into the driving force of the game, and defeat the opponent through a dignified showdown.
As for whether it can be done, that is another matter.
However, the situation is very bad for the New York giant. Before he could breathe his bullet, he had to face the dilemma of 17 yards in the second gear before he could breathe.
Obviously, passing offense is the best option, but Coughlin doesn't have enough time to complete the pass layout.
If he is a Green Bay Packer, Rogers has many choices because the four wide receivers have the ability to fight alone. Even if Lu Yiqi cannot make any adjustments in detail, Rogers can adapt to the situation on the field, and their offensive tactics are rich and diverse enough.
However, the lack of strength of the New York Giants wide receiver team limits the tactical strategies of Cofflin and Manning Jr., especially the choice space at the urgent moment is even narrower. So, what should they do? If they don’t pay attention to the passing and offense, the second-level seventeen yards may become another death level.
"attack!"
The moment before the referee threw the yellow flag and announced the delay in the game, Manning Jr. announced the kick-off, and then turned around without hesitation to hand over the football to the rotation running back Ward.
ground.
At the critical moment, Coughlin still chose to believe in the ground attack at the top of the league this season. Although it is not the best choice for the second-level seventeen yards, it is precisely because of this that he can catch his opponent off guard.
Indeed, the Green Bay Packers did not expect it to be a ground attack, but likewise, Robert's defensive tactical layout did not ignore the ground attack:
Defending the front line, four people rushed to pass; defending the center line, three linebackers and two cornerbacks guarded on the spot; defending the back line, two safety guards retreated to the joint defense.
The Green Bay Packers’ defensive team is still the familiar defensive team, and all the changes are initiated from the "middle line", and this is no exception.
The cornerback's position is slightly pressed up, forming counter-guarding, and continuously creating pressure in the front line area; the linebacker's position is slightly pressed, forming regional joint defense, and completing coverage for ground attacks and short pass areas, maintaining the sensitivity to wait for opportunities at any time to avoid losing their position.
Hawke!
It's Hawk again!
As the player with the most obvious and outstanding growth of tactical awareness this season, Hawke's personal ability is still limited, he is weak in confrontation and grappling, often misses tactics, and is prone to impulsiveness; but Hawke's tactical awareness has undergone a complete change. His reading of the timing of rushing and loopholes in offensive tactics is close to Walker's level at Kansas State University, especially in the playoffs.
Adjustment.
Adjustment.
Still adjusting.
Hawke's steps are always adjusting in small steps, guarding against Little Manning's movements-
This time, they were indeed firmly guarding the passing moves of quarterbacks. Including Lu Yiqi, they all judged that Coughlin should choose to pass the ball, especially the probability of a short pass raid is the highest. Therefore, the linebacker cannot easily lose his position, and they must be prepared to make up for defense at all times.
Then, Hawke saw that Little Manning handed over the football to Ward, which was actually a ground attack!
Hawke tried his best to suppress his impulse to step up, because the upward grapple had missed the opportunity. His upward step was likely to be directly knocked away by Ward's bulldozer-like collision. He needed to remain calm and then... wait for the rabbit.
So Hawk quickly pulled horizontally with Ward's movement, standing on Ward's path forward, ready to grapple with ease.
Step on.
Step on.
Ward was stepping up and observing, but then Ward realized that the New York Giants' offensive front line was hit hard by a heavy frontal blow. Not only did it not create enough gaps, but it was also hit by the defensive front line after the ground offensive intention was exposed, and all the pressure rushed towards Ward.
Obviously, the New York Giants offensive team still failed to gain a foothold. Instead, the Green Bay Packers, who missed the winning goal, burst out with exponential power.
Boom boom!
Ward's pace slowed down a little. He needed to adjust to find a more suitable breakthrough gap, but with this little breathing space, defensive end Kampman had already completed the previous step, knocking away offensive tackle Mackenzie in an unreasonable way, and pressing directly over like a hill.
Oops.
Ward's footsteps were forced to take half a step back, and then he barely missed the huge body that Kampman and Mackenzie entangled with each other, but his body still could not completely avoid it. The next second, a white figure could be seen rushing towards him like a high-speed train.
Bang!
Ward tried to struggle to escape, but was firmly grasped, and his power could not be released at all, and then he was directly pressed to the ground.
Every bone in his body was wailing protest, and even his internal organs began to hurt, as if blood vessels were burning and tingling.
When Ward opened his eyes, he saw Hawke's back celebrating freely, showing his muscles to the fans on the scene, which made Ward swear directly.
"pause."
The New York Giants were forced to use a timeout directly because they are now facing the dilemma of three nineteen yards, and the game time is still moving forward: thirty-one seconds, thirty seconds...
Coughlin made a quick decision and used the pause. They had to discuss how to attack the three-tier nineteen yards-
Take a risk of passing attempts, and let go of the danger of facing the opponent that may create a ball-change and win the game; or should you consume the game conservatively and directly enter overtime, and then both sides will make a long-term plan, at least let the New York Giants win some breathing time?
