669 Take the opponent lightly
In the strong duel of competitive sports, the competition between equal strength often depends on which side's desire to win is stronger. At the critical moment of the bayonet's showdown, more power can often burst out, persist in one breath, quietly push the victory balance, and ultimately lead to different results.
In the 17th week of the regular season, the Green Bay Packers played against the Detroit Lions. Unexpectedly, the Green Bay Packers, who are competing for a playoff spot, burst into unparalleled desire for victory, suppressing the Detroit Lions, who "could have suffered a shameful season" from the opening stage.
Everyone is saying that Detroit Lions have reasons not to lose, but they quietly ignore it, and Green Bay Packers have reasons not to retreat.
What's more, the Green Bay Packers' strength and condition this season are already stronger than the Detroit Lions. They give their all and are ready to go without any chance, and instantly defeats the Detroit Lions. In the first quarter, they already showed a crushing attitude, and the suspense of victory was gradually extinguished.
The entire game was completely under Lu Yiqi's control, and Marinelli's resistance and counterattack did not bring surprises.
Green Bay Packers successfully established an absolute advantage in the first half, and took advantage of the victory to pursue the game in the third quarter to further widen the score gap and lay the foundation for victory. After entering the fourth quarter, Green Bay Packers began to consciously rotate players:
On the one hand, it is to revitalize energy and avoid injuries; on the other hand, it is to give substitutes and adapt to the rhythm of the game.
While ensuring victory, the Green Bay Packers need to start making long-term preparations for the playoffs, and take two steps from the main and substitutes. The overall situation shown by Lu Yiqi is not as immature as a novice rookie.
Of course, the Green Bay Packers' current bench strength is not outstanding, and there is still a long way from the level of "both lineups can appear"; not to mention, there is no absolute weak team in the NFL, and even if the Detroit Lions may lose all the season, it does not mean that they do not have the ability to confront and counterattack.
Therefore, the Green Bay Packers did not replace all the main lineups, but carried out large-scale rotations, using the substitute and main team to run in the lineup, and tested different tactical combinations. The tactical intentions through actual combat drills are obvious, and the substitute players' desire to perform is also particularly strong.
The only one who can really rest is main quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and the substitute quarterback Matt Flynn shoulders the offensive responsibility in the fourth quarter.
This also means that when entering the fourth quarter, the coaching staff led by Lu Yiqi not only had no way to rest, but also became busier, because the gap in strength between the two sides was shortened, and the substitute players of Green Bay Packers needed to adapt to the time, and the game entered the balance of power.
There are many exciting matches between Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, with frequent changes in advantages and disadvantages, and the competition between offense and defense can create many exciting duels. The ratio of fouls and mistakes has also begun to rise sharply, and the game is much more exciting than the first three quarters.
The Detroit Lions did chase and chase in the fourth quarter. Calvin Johnson showed his might and fought against the Green Bay Packers' entire defensive second-tier defense with his own strength. His wonderful performance once again showed his superstar potential. It was obvious that Green Bay's second-tier defense was unstoppable.
Lu Yiqi was not panicked at all. Not only did he not panicked, but he also conveyed instructions through Augustus, allowing the wide receiver group to carefully observe the game and see how Calvin dealt with the bad situation of "multi-player double-teaming". In addition to his physical talent, his tactical awareness was even more impressive.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Yiqi is consciously cultivating Nelson. As a sophomore, Calvin has such ability. For Nelson, who has just entered the league for a year, he can indeed learn more experience and convert it into his own.
The opportunity lies here. As for how much experience you can transform into your own growth, it depends on the player's own ability and talent.
Not only the wide receiver, but also a rare opportunity for cornerbacks and safety guards to train. Robert and Augustus are just as busy as they are. The main players who are in the rotation of Green Bay Packers did not sit next to them and rest, and all stood on the sidelines in a daze.
Objectively speaking, the Detroit Lions did take the initiative in the fourth quarter. Even though Lu Yiqi's tactical dispatch was exciting enough, the strength of the substitute lineup was still lacking. In addition, the Detroit Lions burst out with huge energy while burning their boats, which really gained the upper hand in full swing.
However, the Green Bay Packers established huge advantages in the previous three quarters. In the end, there was not much room for the Detroit Lions to reverse in the fourth quarter. The team that lost 15 consecutive games in the season was still unable to be tough at critical moments. In the end, Olovsky lost the game with the third interception of the whole game. The substitute cornerback Will Blackmon successfully ended the game with his performance.
"Blakemon!"
"Blakemon!"
"Blakemon!"
The entire Blue Castle Stadium was filled with uniform and deafening shouts. This should be the most tense but relaxing game for Green Bay fans this season.
It should be a life-and-death battle in the playoffs, and a little negligence can ruin all efforts in the final stage of the season; but the game progress has always firmly grasped the initiative, and rushed to victory with a staggering moment, and even leisurely practiced the substitute rotation lineup. The strong confidence hidden behind it is enough to make every Green Bay fan ecstatic.
So, the competition becomes a pleasure.
Until the whistle sounded at the end of the game, all the fans of the audience remained high and excited, and cheered loudly and waves higher and higher.
However, when the game was really over, joy and happiness continued to release energy like a volcano eruption, surging overwhelmingly. In the exchange of sight and sight, similar emotions and touches surged, and joy burst out uncontrollably.
After experiencing the turmoil and chaos during the offseason, even the local residents of Green Bay have lowered their expectations and made adjustments to the team's season goals. The playoff goal proposed by Lu Yiqi when he succeeded is more like a slogan of "showing ambitions" and there is not much realism at all.
However, the team started with two wins and four losses, but ended with a five-game winning streak, and launched a strong attack on the playoffs.
Such a season, such performance is enough to make any Green Bay fan ecstatic, and at this moment, they are celebrating.
No matter where the Green Bay Packers’ pace will eventually go in the 2008 season, fans are willing to repay more expectations and support for such a team. They will eventually return to the peak because the fighting spirit in their bones has awakened!
"On! Packer, go!"
"On! Packer, go!"
The audience cheered, earth-shaking!
Chapter completed!
