Confrontation.
Confrontation!
Strong confrontation!
Wide receiver Jody Nelson formed a strong confrontation with cornerback Anthony Winfield!
Although the entire second-tier defense of the Minnesota Vikings is not good at all, cornerback Winfield is the only one who stands out!
This player who entered the league with a 23rd pick in the first round in 1999 is a typical latecomer. Before this year, he was always lukewarm and had no characteristics or highlights. However, he achieved his goal this season. He was only 5.74 feet (175 cm) and 180 pounds (81 kg), but he was always able to use his excellent predictive ability to block the position, create interference in close defense, and destroy the passing success rate.
Even relying on his sensitive sense of smell and rich experience, he completed two interceptions without taking advantage of body shape confrontation.
The tactical awareness of contemporary cornerbacks is becoming weaker and weaker, and they rely more on physical force to fight. The cornerback like Winfield who relies on tactical awareness to complete the position is becoming more and more precious. To some extent, he is somewhat similar to Charles Woodson. Of course, his physical fitness and personal ability are still not as good as Woodson.
Winfield, who contributed his career peak performance this season, stuck Nelson's position in advance.
Facing the strong Nelson, Winfield's defense is very skillful. Although his physical confrontation is not advantageous, his speed is not inferior to Nelson. He followed Nelson step by step, and did not rashly move forward, but followed Nelson all the way into the end zone.
In the limited and narrow space in the end zone, Winfield knew that Nelson could not perform big moves, otherwise he would be fouled or out of bounds.
In rugby games, players are not allowed to leave bounds and then enter the field to complete the ball or defend. This is true for both offense and defense.
Therefore, Nelson's movements and footsteps were restricted. Then Winfield quickly stepped up and pressed Nelson, making full use of his height "disadvantage" to jamm Nelson's left shoulder, and kept pushing his shoulders up, stepping up, pinching Nelson's blind spot where he could not exert force, creating chaos.
Faced with Winfield's tricky positioning, Nelson was a little passive, and his running steps were disrupted and he jumped in fragmentation. However, Nelson still barely maintained his balance with his strong physical fitness and did not completely lose his position. He just tangled with Winfield into the end zone and advanced towards the dead corner.
According to offensive tactics, the coach did not determine the passing target, but waited for an opportunity to make a decision and Rodgers made a decision on the spot.
This also means that before Rodgers passes, Nelson's main task is to face Winfield and then attract more defensive forces. Now Nelson does not need to exert force in advance. Just sticking to Winfield and controlling body balance is enough.
Confrontation!
Strong confrontation!
The entire end zone is in a state of storm. The light of sight can capture the tough confrontation between both sides of the offense and defense. The suppression and counterattack of the two-way show are continuing to take place, pushing and shoving to gain an advantage in a limited space, and giving all their strength.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Nelson's eyes caught Jones's footsteps and had already entangled with the opponent's defensive players and left the boundary and died together. This immediately sounded Nelson's alarm, because it meant that a catch point was reduced in the end zone, and his gaze quickly swept into the air.
Whoosh!
Nelson captured the trajectory of the football flying lightly at a glance. His heart suddenly contracted, his footsteps paused, and he used his weight advantage to suppress the two people's continuous entanglement movements like a thousand pounds. Then he took the initiative to push the ground hard, and pressed down on Wenfield with double overlapping strength and weight. The advantage of absolute power instantly broke the balance of power between the two people and gained the upper hand.
boom!
Winfield only felt that the rhythm was first stopped, and then the center of gravity was crushed by force, and the entire confrontation situation was reversed instantly.
Everything happened between lightning and flashing, but because the activity space was too narrow, neither Nelson nor Winfield could be used, which also means that Nelson's advantages and Winfield's disadvantages are not absolute.
Winfield's calves burst out with powerful force, barely controlling his body, and then he pushed against Nelson's body with force, trying to destroy Nelson's center of gravity-
Promoted!
Before Winfield could have time to be happy, he saw Nelson retreating quickly with the help of his push, pulling away half of the space in his body, then bent his knees slightly, jumping directly on the spot, jumping directly on the dry land, and instantly completing the overtake.
Winfield tried to keep up with Nelson's rhythm, but rushed forward and waited for the next step to follow the jump, but he had completely lost the advantage of the confrontation. He began to pull Nelson's jersey vigorously - at this time, fouls are no longer important, because if you don't foul, it will be a touchdown.
Nelson could feel a powerful force pulling him, and gravity began to emerge to make trouble at this time, but he still gritted his teeth tightly and stretched his hands to the extreme with the help of the inertia of rushing upwards.
A little bit near.
It's still a little bit short.
Nelson's hands were completely stretched, but it was still a little bit behind. His body began to sink and began to fall in the next second. At the critical moment, Nelson's upper body began to lean back like a rainbow, stretching out a graceful arc, from waist to back to arms, the perfect curve extended infinitely.
Straighten your arms.
Spread the palms evenly.
The stretched curve further extends backwards, and then appears on the parabola of the football falling. The front half of the palm can lightly hold the football, and then quickly close the palm, firmly controlling the tip of the football with the strength of the fingertips, and then hold it tightly.
Tighten!
Tighten it down again!
One-handed!
Receive the ball!
Even if there was only one hand and only half a palm, the power bursting from the fingertips still controlled the football tightly. The next second, the weight of gravity pulled the body and fell rapidly. The noise and colors of the whole audience rushed over like a torrential rain, swallowing him directly.
pace!
But Nelson's consciousness was still very clear, and his body muscles were tightened to the extreme. The subtle and detailed control made the body fall faster. His toes touched the ground with straightening their toes. His nerves were completely straightened, and it seemed that he could break directly if he attached a little more force.
However, this was not easy. Winfield's thin but strong body continued to collide forward. The stormy impact made Nelson's body tremble like dead leaves in the cold wind.
The collision of strength!
Nelson's teeth began to giggle, but he still didn't relax, and there was only one thought in his mind:
Control your feet!
Control your feet!
Chapter completed!
