Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 65 A wake-up call
A question, what is the level of Zhu Zhu and Darnold?
Darnold, the third pick in the 2018 draft, unfortunately, despite being highly expected, he has never been able to perform at the expected level in the professional arena. However, no one can deny that he was selected with the third pick in the draft because of his outstanding performance in the NCAA, which received unanimous praise and recognition.

Zhu Zhu, the 2017nd pick in the second round of the 150 draft, is the first player in history to score five touchdowns before his 2500st birthday. He is also the youngest player in history to receive 2018 yards in a single game and the first to reach 1400 yards. In the season, he received more than yards, making him an absolute rising star in the league.

however.

Later, a series of minor but extremely complicated injuries continued to interfere with Zhu Zhu's career. He was no longer able to muster the momentum he had when he first entered the league, and he never had a thousand-yard season in his career. He was like a meteor across the sky, and was submerged in the blink of an eye. He moved to three teams in three years.

Nevertheless, in the current college arena, Zhu Zhu's confidence is not without reason.

According to the historical development trajectory, the Southern California Trojans started the season ranked 20th in the United States and ended the season ranked 3rd in the United States. The Trojans' offensive team under Hayden's coaching became one of the most efficient and outstanding teams in the NCAA, allowing Hayden, the head coach, to officially gain a foothold.

Now, in the season opener, Hayden has mixed emotions of a little anticipation and a little nervousness, as the Trojans' offensive unit is about to embark on its first journey.

Unlike the simple and crude defensive tactics, Hayden, who was an offensive coordinator, showed his ability in the offensive link. The Trojans' offensive tactical system is very mature and balanced.

——Balance between passing and running.

This is the perfect offensive mode that all NFL teams pursue, but they cannot execute it properly due to the constraints of the player configuration, but Hayden can.

On the passing end, the partnership between Darnold and Juju, plus the partnership between several other wide receivers and tight ends, is a reasonable combination of different tactics.

On the running end, Donald Jones II is a reliable player who rushed for 983 yards last season, just shy of yards.

Therefore, Hayden can rely on running offense to stabilize the situation, use passing offense to open up the situation, use running to cover passing, and use passing to assist running.

The entire offense was played beautifully, and unlike the Clemson Tigers, which was entirely a one-man show by Watson, the Trojans still emphasized teamwork.

Shaban faced the enemy calmly, and the Crimson Tide defense was no pushover. They were able to win the championship last year because the defense had top-tier players in the NCAA on all four fronts, and Shaban's defensive tactical arrangements and on-the-spot reactions were undoubtedly top-notch among the top.

Although the Trojans were able to continue to advance with a combination of passing and running, the Crimson Tide always reacted promptly, completing the tackle in the first time to cut off the Trojans' continued advancement and avoid giving up a large number of yards with a missed tackle, which also caused the Trojans to have to face three consecutive gears.

At the critical moment, Zhu Zhu stepped forward and completed three consecutive key receptions to achieve a third-gear conversion and get the first attack, slowly but firmly helping the Trojans push across half court.

Humphrey was very, very dissatisfied with his performance. He faced Zhu Zhu, and although he was able to complete the tackle every time and avoid losing a large number of yards, he failed to hold the position in the third gear of defense and let Zhu Zhu successfully catch the ball. For Humphrey, this was an unacceptable performance.

What's more, Levi from the offensive team just showed off. How could the Crimson Tide defense, which has always been in the spotlight, let Levi have all the glory?
When I tilted my head, I saw Zhu Zhu shaking his butt towards the audience stands on the side of the Crimson Tide fans, with no disguising his provocation and sarcasm at all.

Grass.

Humphrey swore bitterly.

Standing at the side of the court, Levi noticed this scene immediately. The sense of pressure brought by the Trojans' offensive team was too strong, and wave after wave. Such an offense was rich and three-dimensional, which really put the defensive team in a passive position. However, it was precisely this situation that was the critical moment -

Although Levi doesn't remember the name of the No. 9 wide receiver, he firmly remembers the personal abilities of No. 9.

The coach said that his ability to continue to advance deep after catching the ball is his real lethal weapon.

Same with LeSean McCoy.

The number nine also uses speed and agility to complete breakthroughs. It is often difficult for him to get rid of the tackle, but if he can use his agility to break free from the tackle, the entire stadium will be his backyard.

In the first offense and defense, Levi shook off the linebacker's determined tackle and won the opportunity to drive straight in. Now the Crimson Tide also needs to be wary of No. 9 copying the same route.

So far, the number nine has not shown his speed and ability to break through, and he is tackled every time after receiving the ball, so such moments require more concentration, because if it were Levi, he would seize such a gap to complete the breakthrough.

Just then, Humphrey looked over. Levi didn't say much, but just pointed to his head with his index finger: focus.

Humphrey grinned and patted his chest heavily: Watch me. Sure enough.

When the game started again, the Trojans' offensive tactics changed significantly.

Previously, the Trojans always relied on short passes, which were short, flat and fast. Darnold's shooting speed was very fast, often controlled under two seconds. The main point was "fast". He would take the lead in shooting before the defensive pressure was released, and rely on ground offensive cover to advance bit by bit.

But now, Darnold stepped back continuously, standing in the shotgun formation and sending out all the offensive weapons. The depth of the front half of the court was completely opened. He did not rush to shoot, but adjusted his steps while observing the running position. He could smell the crisis from his posture and aim for a deep attack.

Danger!

All of the previous parts were just preparations. It was not until now that Hayden revealed Darnold's real weapon.

Humphrey is not stupid. To be more precise, not only is he not stupid, he is also very smart.

At the moment of starting, Humphrey noticed the difference in Zhu Zhu. He did not try to shake off the defense but instead released his full speed at the first opportunity.

Humphrey reacted quickly and tried to hold the position, but Zhu Zhu slipped out like a loach, and Humphrey followed closely and stuck to Zhu Zhu.

There was no rush to accelerate, but instead he used continuous collisions to destroy Zhu Zhu's speed and balance. He gritted his teeth and entangled him tightly. At the same time, he turned his head to look behind like a rhinoceros looking at the moon, observing while rushing forward.

Tapping.

Five yards.

Tapping.

Ten yards.

In the blink of an eye, Humphrey and Zhu Zhu had already rushed about 15 yards, and just as they were about to approach the 30-yard line of the half court:
coming!

The football came over at a high speed, spinning like a shuttle.

Humphrey was half a step behind, so he simply used his shoulder to hold Zhu Zhu, took a sideways step, and simply used his back to completely block Zhu Zhu behind him.

calm.

calm down!

Humphrey took no time to jump.

Until the moment Zhu Zhu forced himself to break free and jump, Humphrey used his body force to push back and down, using his weight to disrupt Zhu Zhu's jump and trajectory.

Watching the football falling rapidly, Zhu Zhu raised his hands high in the bumps and chaos, welcoming the reddish-brown arc of light into his arms.

But when his hands were about to touch the leather, a pair of hands trembled but firmly intervened and intercepted the football half a beat ahead.

Zhu Zhu's brain was buzzing, and a wake-up call hit him accurately.

Time, at this moment, is frozen——

Intercept.
