Using offensive forward players as "legal receivers" is also a type of "trick attack".

Of course, this is a trick that can be seen through in advance, because according to the league regulations, after the head coach notifies the referee, the referee must inform the entire referee team, give gestures, and leave an official record-

If the opponent's coaching team notices such gestures, they can cut off the tricks in advance.

But the problem is that the offensive and defensive tactical confrontation in football games requires too much calculation and game content, and the opponent's coach often easily ignores such details, because the coach's gestures are not reminded with directional prompts, but rather complete the gestures on his own and give records. He does not need to "notify the opponent's head coach specifically", but it depends entirely on his own vigilance.

Moreover, even if the opponent's coach notices such a gesture, he may not be able to defend successfully, because the offensive team has just replaced a legal receiver, and there are four other legal receivers. It is not certain whether the offensive team deliberately uses this extra-staff legal receiver to attract attention and create a catch gap.

It is precisely because of this that "trick attack" can indeed succeed repeatedly.

Just now, Lu Yiqi did not notice Childress's sneak attack trick. Ryan Cook's step was also very concealed and sudden. Travis' sneak attack was easily connected. So, after nine minutes of entanglement, the Minnesota Vikings succeeded.

In this regard, Lu Yiqi must give Childries an applause—

In today's wild card game, Childris did show different mental outlooks. He made meticulous arrangements from pre-match preparation to on-the-spot dispatch, and throughout the entire first half, the high fighting spirit and precise layout were all reflected in the players' good condition, which is worthy of admiration.

However, the matter ended here. Childries's methods and strategies have all fallen into Lu Yiqi's eyes. To be honest, it did not exceed expectations.

Although Childries worked very hard, his personal ability was still limited. Compared with an old fox like Sean Payton, the New Orleans Saint, the gap was very obvious. His calculations and layout were all exposed to Lu Yiqi's eyes, and the next steps could be inferred.

When returning to the locker room at halftime, the Green Bay Packers fell behind by three points at 14:17, but Lu Yiqi was not angry or upset about this situation, and his emotions did not fluctuate too much. On the contrary, Lu Yiqi was able to clarify how he should plan in the second half.

If you say "confidential", it would seem too arrogant. Now the Green Bay Packers are the side behind in the score, and the Minnesota Vikings performed well in this game. The two sides had a back and forth in the first half, and the suspense of the victory and loss was far from clear.

But Lu Yiqi's mind was indeed absolutely clear. He knew what to do in the locker room before leaving the court. He was full of confidence in defeating his opponent.

The second half of the showdown began soon.

The Green Bay Packers were the first to launch an attack.

At the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, the Green Bay Packers scored two consecutive touchdowns, and their core tactics were similar. They made full use of Rodgers' personal abilities to win the pass time, delay the attack, and then waited for an opportunity to sneak a long pass to find opportunities in the offensive and defensive confrontation in the second-line.

Two long pass attempts and two touchdowns, this is the ability of Green Bay Packers quarterback and wide receiver, which is indeed enough to make any team wary of fear. What's more, the Minnesota Vikings' second-tier defense is relatively weak and is blown up when they lack confidence.

So, how will Childris adjust during the intermission?

Should we insist on the front line's successful first half and fully press the tactics, or should we start to spread the troops to the backcourt evenly, or reshuffle the entire defensive system?

However, the initiative of football is always on the offensive end, so compared to Childress's defensive tactic adjustment, what is more important is Lu Yiqi's offensive tactical layout-

Lu Yiqi did not disappoint. The young coach made tactical adjustments in the first wave of offense in the second half and did not continue the successful offensive tactics in the first half step by step.

In fact, the core of Green Bay Packers' offensive tactics this season has never been a long pass, but a combination of short passes and middle passes. Through the arrangement and combination of different running lines, quarterbacks use false covers and other means, the passing lines are concentrated in the connection between the short passes and middle pass areas, and then disrupt the passing rhythm and firmly control the offensive initiative in their hands.

If the defensive player puts pressure on the front line, the pass line will be pushed deeper; if the defensive player is farther back, the pass line will be shrinked; if the defensive player is in place, the pass line may be spread throughout the game.

Lu Yiqi fully utilized the characteristics of wide receivers' flexible running and quarterback passability, creating an offensive system exclusive to Green Bay Packers.

In the first half, the Minnesota Vikings put pressure on the front line and interrupted Rogers' offensive rhythm with brute force, which did achieve good results; but in the dilemma, the Green Bay Packers finally found a gap and went straight to the end zone with two long passes. This was also a simple and crude confrontation method, with one blow and a direct hit to the end zone to end the confrontation, which was the same as the Minnesota Vikings' tactic of cutting off quarterbacks from the source.

Now, the Minnesota Vikings defense must face a dilemma:

If the frontline pressure is continued, the player's condition will inevitably rise and fall, and it is difficult to maintain high-intensity pressure throughout the game, so there may be more and more loopholes in the far-reaching areas; but if the frontline pressure is relaxed a little, the short pass area and the mid pass area will soon become the target of attack.

In other words, the second half is a test of the coaching team's defensive tactical layout. Childris needs to adjust his tactics at all times. It is impossible to hope that the defensive players will end the battle directly under pressure from the front line. His observations and judgments, choices and decisions are the guarantee of the defensive team's endurance.

Lu Yiqi keenly captured such a key early on, which is also the reason why Green Bay Packers' offensive tactics were the first to change the formation at the beginning of the second half:

Rogers's attack tactics have changed significantly, mainly two types of attacks:

One is to make quick passes, with short and fast speed as the core, making full use of Driver, Donald Lee, and Grant's ability to stand in the short pass area and complete the pass, pursuing the passing success rate. As for the advancement after the successful reception, it is not forced.

One is to delay the action and rely on your own pocket steps to gain time, but not for long passes, but to cover the real pass target with fake moves. The mid-pass area is the main target to overcome the target. The wide receiver can get gaps through his own route, and his success rate is also good.
