"Kansas State's offensive tactical organization has become apparently three-dimensional, and the timing of passing and running is very appropriate. Even Freeman's pass and offense has become well-organized; on the contrary, Auburn's defense has obviously lost the rhythm, and even two low-level mistakes have occurred, allowing the opponent to easily get the first attack and cannot form an effective defensive chain."

"Now, the momentum on the court is undergoing a silent change. After the halftime break, the positions of the two teams seem to be reversed, and the home fans are still cheering, and they are not hit hard; but Tommy Xtepville must quickly find a solution, otherwise Auburn may not be able to hold on to this victory."

As the Wildcats successfully completed the extra points kick again, the stadium score board changed again:

“20:26”.

The difference between the two sides has narrowed to a touchdown.

Then, the heavy responsibility fell heavily on the shoulders of the Wildcats' defensive team. As if they could not stop the opponent from breaking the gap again, the away team would face serious difficulties again - and perhaps even more severe: the opponent's recovery and the frontal blow of momentum were on one hand, and the game time was on the other.

The secret service teams of both teams both made their debut again and prepared to kick off.

In rugby games, the kickoff is also very particular, with one party responsible for kickoff and the other party responsible for receiving the ball.

There are two options for kickoff:

One is to directly kick the football out of the baseline, or the receiving side will make a safe catch gesture to give up the return after catching the football in the end zone, and the next offensive team will start the attack directly from the official twenty-yard line.

Another way is to control the landing point of the football and keep the final landing point as close to the end zone as possible. Because wherever the rugby stops, the offensive team will start attacking. The most perfect landing point for the kickoff side is the one-yard line at the front of the end zone.

There are two options for the receiving side:

One is to choose to attack back - that is, literally, to attack back. When the return attacker catches the rugby, he can run forward with the ball and advance, and finally where the foot stops to form a dead ball, then where will the offensive team start attacking. The most perfect result for the ball-to-ball side, the return attacker can even return to the opponent's end zone and complete a touchdown, which is also called "teleball return touchdown".

Another type is to catch the ball safely. When the return attacker catches the football, he can make his own judgment. If there is no good chance of returning or his steps are not adjusted properly, he can fall directly to the ground or kneel on one knee to indicate that he will receive the ball safely and give up the return attack. If the landing point of the safe receiving ball safely is within the end zone, the offensive team will start attacking from the twenty-yard line; if the landing point of the safe receiving ball safely is in the field, the offensive team will start attacking from the place where the safe receiving ball safely.

Of course, this is just a basic choice. The secret service teams of both sides can develop different arrangements according to their own situation, and there are many possibilities. The special service team with eleven players can also use offensive tactics or defensive tactics to gain more advantages for their team.

Therefore, the kickoff session should not be underestimated -

Most often, the kicker in charge of kicking the ball directly kicks the rugby into the end zone or out of the baseline to avoid the receiving side from launching a return attack.

The Secret Service team was kicking off the court, while the two head coaches on the side of the court were dispatching troops to make arrangements for the next level of offense and defense.

"Can I say something to you?" Someone patted Lu Yiqi on the shoulder and said quickly.

It's David Robert.

The formal and restrained pronunciation reveals the difference from the words. Lu Yiqi doesn't even need to look back, just knowing that the person coming is his linebacker coach David Robert - it is worth mentioning that he is a disciple brought by defensive coordinator Mo Latimer, and his tactical style is relatively traditional.

Lu Yiqi did not answer, but turned to Robert and responded with his eyes - because the game time was tight, they didn't have much time to talk nonsense.

Robert also understood this, and said in a long story short, "Don't modify the defensive tactics casually! This is the best solution we came up with in a collective meeting, and it is most suitable for our team. I believe you should know more about the consequences of temporary change of style than me." He was straightforward and calm, and seemed to not notice too many emotions. Even if he was a zombie talking, Lu Yiqi was willing to believe it; but the content of the words was solid and sincere.

Lu Yiqi knew that Robert was serious.

"I understand." Lu Yiqi nodded in a straightforward and neat way to respond.

Because he was so refreshed that Robert couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. In the last wave of defense, Lu Yiqi changed his tactics on the spot without asking for Latimer's consent. Latimer did not interfere with the game considering that the game was in progress. Now that he was conveying the message through Robert, he thought it would take some time to talk, and even made a draft in his mind, thinking about how to convince Lu Yiqi, but he agreed like this?

"And?" Lu Yiqi asked again.

Robert realized that the game was in progress and they could not squander time at will, so he nodded and signaled, "There is nothing else." After a pause, he added, "Thank you for your cooperation." But he always felt a little strange, but couldn't say anything strange: Why did he say thank you? After all, he didn't continue to discuss it, so he turned around and took two steps back so that Lu Yiqi could continue the tactical arrangement of work.

Lu Yiqi turned around again and quickly carried out tactical dispatch and layout - compared to the offensive team's on-site dispatch through quarterbacks, although the defense team can also complete tactical investigations through the commander on the field, it was still a beat slower after all, which also tests the coaching team's reading and analysis ability.

The game started again - the Wildcats directly drove the football out of the baseline and did not give the opponent a chance to attack, so the opponent started attacking from above the top twenty yard lines of the end zone.

Robert immediately noticed something was wrong: Wait, what happened? Why did the linebacker step forward?

As the linebacker coach, Robert immediately discovered that the Wildcats' linebacker "resigned without permission" and the entire defensive tactical layout was completely broken.

With the sound of Tigers quarterback Cox announced the kickoff, the Wildcats linebackers Oulu Hall and Reggie Walker both stepped forward, bypassing the pocket protection area of ​​the offensive front line from both sides, stabbing from the waist into the pocket like two sharp blades; this is not all.

The defensive front line led by Campbell also adjusted its pace. Both defensive ends pulled their footsteps horizontally to the outside for half a step, and then stuck the positions of the two offensive tackles, winning a narrow space for their linebackers. But don't underestimate this little bit of narrow space, it can create a huge difference in the game.

Dingdeng!

Boom boom boom boom!
Chapter completed!
