Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 68: One Yard Line

Clark was a little confused.

The long-awaited debut moment came and ended in a daze, just like a dream.

It was over before I even had time to savor it.

Despite this, Clark's smile was fully bloomed. He cheered for Levi who came on the stage and jumped up with his fists clenched.

"Ah! Ahhh!"

Without words, it's just a ruthless screaming machine, but that's enough——

He, Ronnie Clark, finally made his first appearance for the Crimson Tide in two years. It was not a training match or a warm-up match, but a formal game.

The season opener is at AT&T Arena.

Although he didn't know what the future would hold, this moment was Clark's happiest.

Terry did the same, raising his fists high and shouting firmly amid the huge cheers from the audience.

"Ronnie! Good job!"

"Ronnie! Excellent job!"

This is football.

There are players who stand under the spotlight and receive cheers, there are players who turn the tide with their own efforts, and there are players who stand in the shadows and do the dirty work to ensure the smooth execution of tactics.

They should applaud the superstars, but they should also cheer for the blue-collar workers, because football is a team sport and no one can be left behind.

Terry was jumping up and down on the spot, just like Clark.

As soon as the subject changed, a smile bloomed on his lips and he switched the channel.

"Go! Levi! Go!"

Levi and Clark high-fived each other in the air and completed the handover with just a step. There was no time to communicate and Levi had already joined the team and quickly formed a formation.

In football games, positional warfare is the norm, and the red zone is the hardest hit area. The game on the one-yard line can often determine the outcome, and the defense often has the advantage.

At this time, the offensive team is on the one-yard line in front of the end zone, which means that all the players on the defensive team are gathered in the end zone, guarding this narrow and crowded space, leaving the offensive team with little room for adjustment.

Just like the penalty area in football, the more dangerous it is, the more exciting it is, and the closer you get to it, the more difficult it is.

One file, one code.

Shaban tried to change the rhythm, and Hurts chose a quick short pass to find the starting tight end OJ Howard, using Howard's personal ability to break through, but the Trojans' defensive front line performed very well.

The defensive end was stuck in position and raised his hand to slap away Hurts' pass. Because it was a short pass within five yards, Hurts could not draw a parabola, and the low pass line was directly intercepted by the opponent.

Connection failed.

There was a cry of surprise at the scene——

Luckily, he just missed the pass. It could have been an interception.

However, this also means that the Crimson Tide's offensive tactics were discovered by their opponents. Even if there were no interceptions, the passing routes were discovered, which is obviously not good news.

Shaban needs a clearer and sharper offensive tactic, otherwise, he will fall on the one-yard line before the end zone in football games more than once or twice.

Countless, to be exact.

Two gears and one code.

This is the offensive and defensive confrontation in the red zone. It seems to be just a yard or two away, and the touchdown is within reach, but it is impossible to cross the end zone line.

At this time, a tank running back like Derrick Henry is very suitable for attacking; but if the tactical intention of the ground attack is discovered, it will not work, even Derrick Henry will not work, especially when the Trojans have five defensive frontmen, so tactical games are still needed.

Now, the two head coaches, Shaban and Hayden, are playing a game on the one-yard line.

Tick, tick!
Time did not stop, and the Crimson Storm finally lined up and prepared to attack.

Still the pistol formation!
The air was burning slightly. The Trojan defense was united as one, with a determined light in their eyes. They knew this was a third-down offense that they had to defend.

Even if they lost a free kick, they couldn't lose another touchdown, otherwise it would be a heavy blow to the morale of the Trojans.

On the other hand, if you can stop the opponent on the one-yard line, even if you concede a free kick, it can still boost morale.

The surface of the skin could clearly feel the rolling heat licking the sweat hairs, a faint smell of burning filled the air, and the beating of the heart was almost about to explode.

"Attack!" Hertz's voice pierced through the heat waves and detonated the air.

Holding the ball.

Retreat.

observe.

It is obvious that Hurts is looking for a passing target in the back half of the end zone. He and Levi behind him switch positions, and Levi continues to move forward.

This is a classic passing tactic, with the running back acting as the sixth offensive lineman to consolidate the pocket and buy the quarterback more time to observe and space to pass the ball.

In an instant, the storm surged.

It can be clearly seen that the Trojans' defensive players are moving back and their defense of the Crimson Tide's passing targets is getting tighter.

It was this moment, a brief moment like a flash of lightning.

Levi and Hertz were crossing paths. Hertz was observing the passing target and the offensive and defensive positions, his eyes still looking at the blind spot on the left, but he secretly stretched the football to the right side of his body.

Levi wrapped the football in his arms, without stopping, and rushed forward.

Take a step, push off the ground, sprint, lower the center of gravity, and enter the armor-piercing mode for forced breakthrough.

Two steps closer to the kick-off line, he could feel the collision of strength and muscle. The warmth of blood and sweat filled the narrow space, and Levi was completely surrounded in an instant with his fangs and claws.

Three steps——

boom!
The collision had already arrived, forming a pincer attack like a bulldozer, leaving Levi no room to adjust in the limited space.

however!
Just as the door was about to be closed by the impact on both sides, Levi jumped sideways and slipped out of the gap lightly and nimbly. Before he could regain his balance with his shaky feet, he could feel several forces hitting him from different directions in the next second.

Hold your breath.

Touch the ground, turn around, and dodge.

The silky and smooth movements were like flowing water, and he rushed out amidst the force of collisions left and right. His upper body could feel the fresh cold air blowing on his face again, but his lower body was still trapped in the pile of human flesh.

Lean forward and fall to the ground.

Without hesitation, Levi used a heavy weight, firmly grasped the gravity and sank rapidly. His own weight broke through the force of the clamping and rushed to the ground.

Then, release——

Ah!
The biting cold air exploded in my ears like a raging storm, the densely packed city walls opened up, and a whole new world unfolded in my vision.

Boom. Buzz. Buzz.

After the roar, there was a commotion.

“Touchdown!”

“Touchdown!”

"Tooooooooooooooouchdown!"

The long, long tail sound burned and stirred in the air, and the AT&T Arena went crazy.

Terry could clearly hear his own voice hitting his eardrums. This touchdown was different from any other touchdown by the Crimson Tide.

Because his Clark was also involved.

"Roar! Red Tide!"

"Roar! Red Tide!"

AT&T Arena turned into a sea of ​​boiling magma.

Indeed, the Crimson Tide is the defending champion and their strength is naturally promising; while the Trojans are the underdogs and performed poorly last season.

But in the first quarter, the Crimson Tide overwhelmed the Trojans with an absolutely strong performance on both offense and defense. The storm left them no room to breathe and it was a naked slaughter and crushing that no one had expected. The confrontation at the one-yard line in the end zone was a microcosm of this.

The red tide roared all over the sky and the earth.

Today is the second update. The last sprint of the new book period, I beg you to hold on a little longer, thank you all! Thank you very much!
