621 Four gears one yard
With four gears and one yard, the end zone is close at hand, only a distance of only six yards. So, should you choose to play four gears and strive to complete the touchdown, or should you choose to play a steadily free kick to widen the gap in the score?
The decision-making power is in the hands of Lu Yiqi.
But Lu Yiqi did not hesitate at all and made a gesture to the players in the offensive team and completed the arrangement.
"Fight the fourth gear!"
"Accident!"
“Very very, very unexpected!”
"The young coach Archie chose to play four places at such a critical moment, trying to maximize the benefits of the ball transfer completed by the defensive team. This is an adventurous choice and a bold choice. From such details, we can see the edges and coaching style of Coach Archie."
"At this time, I was not surprised that Coach Archie issued a playoff declaration to the media before the start of the season. This is a young and energetic coach. No matter how the final performance of this season, I welcome such a coach into the league to add more suspense and highlights to the game."
"I admire Coach Archie's courage, but I have to question Coach Archie's four-level choices, and I don't think it's a good idea."
If Lu Yiqi heard Dunn's comment in the studio, he would nod in agreement. This is indeed not the best time to choose to play fourth.
Objectively speaking, the negative impact of weather conditions is too great, and it is impossible to predict how far the impact will continue to expand. The situation where the defensive team has the upper hand should continue for a while, which also means that every scoring opportunity is crucial and precious.
It is very likely that this game will be decided by a free kick or a touchdown difference -
What's more, this is a key game that determines whether the Green Bay Packers can enter the playoffs, and they have no room to back off.
But as the head coach, Lu Yiqi needs to consider more than just a four-speed transition. He needs to consider the trend of the whole game, he needs to consider Rodgers' growth and transformation, he needs to consider the team's mentality and state after entering the playoffs, and he needs to look forward to the long-term.
Choosing a four-level strong fight has nothing to do with success or morale and status.
The Green Bay Packers offensive team must gain a foothold and must believe that the weather may not improve. They all need to face such a dilemma in the next game. This is the game. They must find a way to break through. In addition to Lu Yiqi's tactical command, the players must also cheer up and become tough.
This is even more so for Rogers.
Of course, the success of the four-speed conversion is the best result, and they do need a moment to boost morale; but even if they fail, Lu Yiqi does not think it is the end of the world.
Now that it's just the second quarter, they still have enough time to win; and, now they are the ones who lead the score. Although they only have three points, even if the three-pointer increases to six points, they can still turn the situation around with just one touchdown.
Therefore, the importance of scoring with four yards and one yard this time is far inferior to the adjustment of the offensive group's state and mentality in Lu Yiqi's eyes.
Standing at the height of the head coach, Lu Yiqi must consider the overall situation and even build the height of the entire team.
So, without any hesitation, Lu Yiqi directly announced the decision to force the fourth level.
But not everyone can see Lu Yiqi's vision and blueprint. The players in the offensive team standing on the court were a little confused and seemed to be unable to believe their ears. Including Rogers, there was a momentary pause in their minds. However, everyone then withdrew their gaze:
No matter what, they need to trust the coach.
Four levels and one code.
Rogers stood in his pocket, and Lu Yiqi's tactical arrangement came from his headphones. At this time, he had entered a state of calmness. Although he was a little surprised by the tactical choice, his eyes and mentality did not fluctuate. He looked at the defensive players in the end zone with a burning look, as if he could see the burning flames.
"attack!"
Rodgers announced the kickoff and quickly retreated with both hands, ignoring Grant who was passing by, and his eyes swept across the game to the full view.
This is a passing tactic, not a running tactic. Even in four gears and one yard, Lu Yiqi still "recklessly" handed over the offensive power to Rodgers, who was in poor form in this game.
Rogers' brain remained absolutely calm, and the defensive position and offensive confrontation were all brought to his eyes. The flash of inspiration made accurate judgments, and then without any hesitation, he raised his knife and landed on the ground and sent the football out.
Although it was not a quick pass, the entire shot was clean and neat, without any delay, and it still increased the offensive rhythm.
"Swoosh!"
The football lightly drew a trajectory in the air, flew towards the three yards diagonally ahead on the right, and found James Jones who was swimming near the sideline.
Jones used his body to resist the starting cornerback of the Chicago Bears, Charles Tyrman, and completed the run back first before the two people's collision. He instantly threw away Tyrman's close-up guard, and then the football was teleported to the place. Jones opened his hands and put the football in his arms.
Bang!
Bang!
No control!
Jones was a little too anxious. The ball gesture with his hands was not in place. His wrist collided with the football, and then the football landed directly.
Passing is not completed.
Jones hugged his helmet in annoyance.
Rogers stood in a daze, his hands stuck in his waist, with a hint of confusion and annoyance in his eyes, and his anger towards him was burning. He could not accept it. He could not accept such a bad performance, just like a wandering soul standing on the court.
He still let down the coach's expectations for him, he still let down the teammates' expectations for him, and he still let down his requirements for him. This behavior is like a nightmare that cannot wake up, and he cannot face him.
The violent emotion crackled in his chest and was almost bursting. Rogers tried his best to control his urge to smash his helmet, left the court with great strides, returned to the sidelines, then covered his head with a towel, and sulked at him.
“Four-speed conversion failed.”
"The Green Bay Packers' attempt failed and lost their scoring opportunity. This was undoubtedly a blow to the visiting team. I don't know what impact this adventure's four-level attempt will have on the results of the game, but at least it is certain that the offensive teams of both sides are still struggling."
"The Chicago Bears defense team once again prevented the opponent from opening the score gap, but the situation for the home team is still difficult. They must now start attacking from the six-yard line in the front of the end zone. If they are not careful, they may face danger again. Coach Smith is also having a headache about how the offense should be launched."
