Chapter 784 Entering the Super Bowl
Get rid of them! Get rid of the Steelers, we will definitely win!
WIN! WIN! The Super Bowl is waiting for us!
In the stadium, the game came to the final moment. The competition between the Los Angeles Raiders and the Pittsburgh Steelers has reached a fever pitch. The former performed well this season, but it has been sinking for many years before. Although this game played well, it still lags behind. Veteran strong team Pittsburgh Steelers.
On the stadium scoreboard, the Los Angeles Raiders VS Pittsburgh Steelers, score 14:20!
Time is running out. The Los Angeles Raiders attack with the ball. To qualify for the Super Bowl, the team must score six touchdowns on the next offense to tie the game, and then end the game with a field goal bonus. Contest.
The premise of all this is that the Los Angeles Raiders must touchdown!
Not to mention ordinary fans, even Duke was a little nervous at this moment, staring at the stadium intently. He invested a huge amount of money in the Los Angeles Raiders. Although these investments will pay off in the future, if the team enters the Super Bowl, there is no doubt. will speed this up.
Besides, as the owner of the Raiders, it must be false to say that he does not want to see his team win the Super Bowl.
With less than a minute left in the game, the Raiders drive to the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-yard line, which is already a distance where the kicker has a high percentage of field goals, but the 3 points that the shot can take are very important to the Raiders. It is useless for the Raiders. The Raiders must touchdown, and the six points of the touchdown can guarantee the tie.
On the field, just as the Raiders kicked off, the referee threw a yellow flag into the field, calling the Raiders a second foul and forfeiting ten yards of offensive distance.
Having advanced 20 yards to the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end line, the Raiders had to step back ten yards and start three downs from thirty yards.
Duke frowned tightly. The ten yards confiscated by the team are naturally included in the total distance of this offense. The remaining three and four offenses of this offense have become extremely important, and the distance of thirty yards is almost a natural barrier.
Thirty-yard touchdowns are not uncommon in ordinary games, but at this critical moment, there is great difficulty.
Are we going to start all over again next year? Leonardo shook his head.
Duke smiled calmly. Who knows?
Although the two of them are the bosses of the team, this kind of moment will not play any role at all, and even the role of the coach will be infinitely weakened. At this time, the team needs someone to stand up...
The Raiders called for a final timeout, and when the timeout was over, all the players gathered around quarterback Tom Brady, listening to him arrange the last two plays.
The team still has three and four chances. According to a safe method, the three attacks are generally used to advance some distance as far as possible, and the four attacks try their best to reach the score to tie the score. Although there is not much time left, it is enough to complete two attacks.
The safest way... George Clooney said suddenly. It is to let the running back Marshawn Lynch attack three times in the way of ground attack and push forward as much as possible.
Duke nodded slowly. He also played American football before, although the level was very amateur. It can only be mixed in a not-so-good team like CalArts, but it still has vision. What George Clooney said is indeed the safest choice.
It appears the Raiders are poised to do the same.
With Tom Brady standing behind the center and Marshawn Lynch getting ready to sprint near him, the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive linemen's attention. It was also placed on Marshawn Lynch.
start!
The center of the Raiders served the ball, and the brown-red football was thrown to Tom Brady. The entire forward line formed a pocket, which firmly blocked the defensive lineman of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This kind of blocking can only last for a while, not for a long time , Each offense leaves the quarterback with extremely limited time to handle the ball.
In Hollywood movies, quarterbacks are always described as simple-minded, well-developed waste. In fact, simple-minded people cannot be quarterbacks, especially quarterbacks on professional teams.
The quarterbacks of professional teams are not only physically strong, they are often the ones with the clearest minds. They are the absolute soul of the entire team's offense. Star quarterbacks like Tom Brady can decide the team's offensive methods on the spot. usual thing.
The moment Tom Brady received the ball, Duke narrowed his eyes slightly. Running back Marshawn Lynch had already started sprinting. It seemed that Tom Brady would hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch in the next moment. Here, he will complete the three attacks.
As George? Clooney said, this is the safest choice, and most quarterbacks will choose the attack.
Marshawn Lynch sprinted, and Tom Brady turned sideways in the direction he was coming from, reaching out as fast as he could, as if handing the ball to Marshawn Lynch, who made a catch and then clenched his hands Hugged tightly in his arms, seeing the defensive gap exposed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, he rushed over like a black lightning.
Most of the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive linemen focus on Marshawn Lynch. In the past two seasons, this young running back has grown at an amazing speed and has shown enough talent and potential. Recognized as one of the best running backs in the future.
Three Pittsburgh Steelers defensive linemen shrugged off the Raiders' entanglement and pounced on Marshawn Lynch, and a seamback slowed down his pursuit of the Raiders wide receiver to prevent Marshawn Lynch from driving After the defensive line, he rushed directly to the end line for a touchdown.
Many people's eyes are focused on Marshawn Lynch, only a few people are still staring at Tom Brady, the quarterback is retreating rapidly, and observing the situation on the field while retreating.
Tom Brady!
Not everyone was fooled by the attack, there was a Pittsburgh Steelers player yelling, but he was five yards from Tom Brady, and the others were farther.
That five yards, and the time it takes for him to rush to sack the quarterback, is enough time for a quarterback of Tom Brady's caliber to make multiple choices.
Tom Brady saw the seamback who slowed down to tackle Marshawn Lynch, and he emptied the wide receiver he was defending.
The brown-red ball draws a wonderful parabola, spins and flies towards Tom Brady's left front, the other players of the Pittsburgh Steelers have already seen the ball and the space, and rushed to intercept it desperately, but it was too late .
As a wide receiver, Julian Edelman's physical condition is very general, but in fact he is very flexible, and his basic skills are solid, and he cooperates with Tom Brady tacitly.
The moment the ball just left Tom Brady's hands, Julian Edelman jumped back, easily caught the ball, landed firmly, and crossed the end line with just two strides...
touchdown! Six points!
The Los Angeles Raiders tied the game!
The audience thundered with cheers!
Duke and Leonardo DiCaprio also stood up and raised their hands high!
!
With a shout, Duke and Leonardo hugged, Great job, Super Bowl, we're coming!
The two yelled a few words like ordinary fans, and quickly returned to calm. They just applauded along with the others. After all, the game is not over yet.
Although the game is not over yet, but the suspense is not much, then the Raiders kicker easily hit the additional points, the Los Angeles Raiders overtook the Pittsburgh Steelers 21:20.
The time was nearing the end, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were powerless in the end. They could only watch helplessly as the Los Angeles Raiders, the Western Conference champions of the American League, came from behind and qualified for the Super Bowl.
The entire NFL competition system is different from other competition leagues in North America.
The annual competition is divided into three time periods: pre-season, regular season and post-season. There are four weeks of preseason as a warm-up for the regular season; the regular season starts from the first week after Labor Day in early September each year, and each team plays 16 games in a total of 17 weeks from September to December. Play on Thursday, Sunday or Monday; after the regular season, each conference will have six teams in the playoffs, the four champions in each division and the two best remaining teams Wild Card teams.
Next, after three rounds of elimination, the respective champions of the two conferences will meet in the Super Bowl at a pre-determined venue to compete for the championship cup—the Vince Lombardi Cup.
A week after the Super Bowl, the two conferences will also select the best player of the year to participate in the Pro Bowl - an all-star game in Hawaii.
This is the first time the Raiders have reached the Super Bowl since 1983.
Is our team in the Super Bowl?
Leonardo? DiCaprio still can't seem to believe all this. He also has shares in the team. Although it is only a symbolic shareholding, he is also the owner of the team in name.
Duke pats Leonardo hard on the arm, I said, this investment will pay off.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time. Reaching the Super Bowl was already a major victory for them.
Of course, it would be even better to get the Super Bowl.
Duke and Leonardo did not go inside the team. In American professional sports leagues, most owners will keep a sufficient distance from the players. They pay each other for their efforts. This is just the most normal business transaction.
The two would not go to celebrate with the players, but left Pasadena and came to Hollywood Boulevard, which is the place to celebrate in Hollywood.
But George Clooney didn't come in, he said his goodbyes and left. Duke and Leonard walked into one of the most famous nightclubs, went directly to the counter, ordered a glass of wine each, and chatted about the game just now while drinking. Very enjoyable.
And the two saw many people they had met on the court before, such as Orlando Bloom. (to be continued ^)
