Like all competitive sports, rugby games will never lack classic moments of Jedi reversal at the last critical moment. Such shining opportunities may be born from the offensive group to the defensive group to the special service group, but among them, the offensive group is undoubtedly the focus of attention, and "hail-mary" is even known as the jewel in the crown.

Wanfu Mary, this is a Catholic prayer, but it is placed on the NFL field, but it gives special meaning.

This term first originated on the university arena in 1922 and came from the famous traditional rugby university Notre Dame, a Catholic school. "Wufu Mary" was originally their prayer and was widely circulated in the game, but it was not widely circulated in the professional league until 1975.

At that time, in a game between the Dallas Cowboys against the Minnesota Vikings, the American team quarterback Roger Stobach completed a final pass at the final countdown. He was also a devout Roman Catholic. In an interview after the game, he said that the moment of passing the ball, he silently prayed for "Mary of Blessings" in his heart.

After that, "Wanfu Mary" was given a special meaning, specifically referring to the quarterback's desperate target at the opponent's end zone at the countdown stage at the last moment of the game, which means a pass that needs the protection of the gods to complete.

Generally speaking, only long passes with more than 40 yards and long passes aiming at the end of the game can be called "Wanfu Mary".

Even in NFL-level competitions, "Wanfu Mary" is very rare. As for the success rate, it is even lower. You may not be able to see a successful "Wanfu Mary" in a season.

The reason is not complicated. "Wanfu Mary" was a desperate attempt at the last moment. She was desperately betting and aimed directly at the end zone. This also means that the tactical intention can be easily seen by the defense team. There is no secret to speak of, and the offensive team has no advantages. The defense team can easily create a numerical advantage, guard against the dead, easily cut off all receiving lines, and even complete interception, gaining absolute advantage.

At the same time, according to the rules of the game, the quarterback cannot pass the ball after crossing the kick-off line, and there is only one chance to pass forward, which means that the quarterback is very difficult to try Wanfu Mary, and the passing distance may be greater than forty yards, or even more than sixty yards. This is a severe test for arm strength. There are only a handful of quarterbacks that can be completed in the entire league, not to mention that passing accuracy needs to be considered.

At this moment, the New York giant met the standards of challenging "Wanfu Mary".

There are 19 yards in three gears, and there are still thirty seconds left before the end of the game. The starting position of the offense is the 39 yard line in the New York halftime, and the straight line distance from the opposite end area is 61 yards.

In the entire NFL league, quarterbacks who can complete 60 yards of passes and accurately deliver to the correct position can count with one hand, and the two quarterbacks Manning and Rogers who were playing against this game are exactly two of them, which also means that there is indeed a possibility of "Wanfu Mary".

But the question is, how should Cofflin choose?

If the risk of challenging "Wanfu Mary" remains high, once the Green Bay Packers successfully defend or even intercept it, it means that Rogers is about to make a debut, and the Green Bay Packers may also win the opportunity to challenge "Wanfu Mary".

If you spend time conservatively and ensure that both sides are split evenly, after entering overtime, both sides start from scratch, but overtime requires many unexpected possibilities, and the uncertainty of guessing coins to fight for the first attack is an uncontrollable level.

Whether it is the former or the latter, the results are unpredictable. Risk and gain coexist, and Coughlin's choice has also become the biggest problem in the final stage of the game.

"There is no doubt that the New York Giants now have the opportunity to challenge 'Wanfu Mary'. We should never underestimate Eli Manning's passing ability at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. What's more, the two sides are still split equally, which also means that Manning does not need to directly aim at the end zone to pass the ball."

"Even if it's just a thirty-yard and forty-four-yard pass, pushing over halftime and entering the free kick area, the New York Giants can win the game with a free kick."

"But the problem is that Coach Archie, who is standing opposite, is also a resourceful coach. He is very clear about Coach Cofflin's choice, and his defensive tactical choice is full of many highlights. Coach Cofflin must be careful. If he is not careful, it is not impossible to lose the ball."

"We must note that the Green Bay Packers almost grabbed the ball through the defense team and won the game. If Jacobs hadn't touched the ground slightly, the game would have ended at this time. So, when Coach Coughlin chose Wanfu Mary, he also needed to pay attention to this."

"Troy, what do you think?"

Even though he had witnessed countless strong winds and waves, Buck could still feel the boiling blood, and his emotions rose uncontrollably. After throwing the topic to his commentator's partner, Buck quickly took a sip of water, which relieved the dryness and anxiety coming from his throat that was almost about to burn.

Eckman is a quarterback who has truly stood on the court and has completed more than Wanfu Mary. He is in a strange mood.

"I believe Coach Cofflin understands his situation. I think he will choose to challenge Wanfu Mary. If he succeeds, he will win. If he fails, he may also be overtime. For the New York Giants, their choice is actually more than the Green Bay Packers. On the contrary, Coach Archie's current defensive tactics need to face more constraints."

"For example, Coach Coughlin chose a short pass or ground, unexpectedly achieved some yardage advancement, and even entered the challenge area of ​​a free kick. Then the Green Bay Packers may still be defeated by the opponent, which means that there are more possibilities that Coach Archie needs to consider, which will also become a distraction factor in tactical layout."

"But it is certain that the game between these two coaches has continued the entire game, and at the last moment, they will still bring surprises."

From the studio to the Giant Stadium to the front of the TV, the tension began to slowly permeate, and even Chinatown, where he first watched football games.

At this time, Gu Changxi had no energy to explain to other fans what was going on, because she was already so nervous that her mouth was so dry that she was almost bursting, and she looked at the coaches on the TV screen who were dispatching troops and sweating.

Because he was too nervous and too urgent, Gu Changxi could hardly breathe, but at this moment, a call came from his ear.

"The battle continues!"

Gu Changxi turned his head and looked over. It was his college classmates. The volunteers responsible for organizing today's watching event. They all raised their clenched right fists and shouted loudly to support. The pair of eyes flashed with a firm light, which made Gu Changxi stand up, wave his fists high, and shouted to his heart's content:

"The battle continues!"

"The battle continues!"
Chapter completed!
