Chapter 816: Beast Charge
How scary are the ratings for the Super Bowl?
The intermission had just begun, and the live broadcaster NBC announced the number of viewers for the first half through the Internet. A total of 111.3 million viewers in the United States watched the live broadcast of the first half.
This is enough to explain the value of the Super Bowl, and it is also enough to prove why the halftime advertisement of the Super Bowl can be sold for a sky-high price of 300,000 US dollars per second!
From this, it can also be concluded how much a Hollywood movie spends on a Super Bowl ad. In most cases, a movie’s ad on the Super Bowl will last thirty seconds. The advertisement of Bravely Killing Island is the beginning of the cooperation between Hollywood and the Super Bowl. After years of development, thirty seconds has become a common practice.
The cost of this year's advertisement is 300,000 U.S. dollars per second, and 30 seconds is 9 million U.S. dollars!
Such a huge amount of advertising expenses can only be given out by commercial films with large investment and production. The commercials that appear in the Super Bowl halftime advertisements are all mainstream commercial masterpieces without exception.
Since the appearance of Marvel superheroes on social networks, Ruen Webb has been paying attention to the news of The Avengers. Just after the intermission, he sat in front of the TV and waited for the advertisement of the film.
He wasn't disappointed either. The movie's advertising period had just begun, and The Avengers was the first to appear.
Although the promotional video is short in length, it contains a lot of content.
More action scenes, more big scenes, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk appeared together...
Just a commercial made Ruen Weber unable to take his eyes off.
A large number of unprecedented hot action scenes, coupled with fast editing pictures and tragic music, create a sense of the end of the world catastrophe, and this trailer even exposes the most exciting scene at the end of the film: gunpowder smoke On the streets of New York City, six superheroes who were besieged from back to back made a collective appearance. They each hold their best weapons, ready to resist the attack of a powerful enemy together.
This is the strongest alliance in history!
This is the strongest team on earth!
After watching this commercial, Ruen Weber even felt that Madonna's halftime performance was not exciting at all.
This year's Super Bowl's halftime show guest is Madonna. She appeared in the shape of Cleopatra, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a peak.
The Super Bowl can be said to be a very strange event, and the ratings of the halftime break are far higher than the game itself.
After halftime. The game restarted, and the Los Angeles Raiders, who were so glorious in the first quarter, were not only reversed in the second quarter, but also seemed to be out of shape at the beginning of the second half, being overwhelmed by the New York Giants.
At 11 minutes and 20 seconds into the third quarter, Eli Manning sent a 20-yard long pass, and the Giants tight end succeeded in receiving the ball for a touchdown. Then the kicker made an additional penalty, and the Giants rewritten the score to 17 to 9.
The situation has become extremely unfavorable for the Los Angeles Raiders. Both Duke and Leonard frowned tightly. If the team does not change, they will undoubtedly lose this Super Bowl.
The Raiders offense went nowhere. After they could only choose four punts, the team's defensive team stood up. In the Giants' offense, they first sacked and killed Eli Manning. Let the Giants have three attacks to no avail, so they can only choose to punt. The whole game was like sleepwalking. The special team of the Raiders suddenly found the state. After receiving the opponent's punt, they got rid of the defense and launched a counterattack. It was not until the midfielder was knocked out of the sideline.
That allowed the Raiders offense to run from the 50-yard line. It's just that Tom Brady couldn't find the state of the first quarter. Although the team advanced to the 20-yard line of the Giants, he was sacked in three plays. The Raiders had to give up touchdowns. A field goal at the yards narrowed the score gap between the two sides to 12 to 17.
Tom Brady's poor state was like an infectious disease, not only transmitted to the Raiders' offense, but also passed to the Giants' star quarterback Eli Manning.
Eli Mandin, who played well in this game, was also sacked and killed by the Raiders' defensive forwards in the subsequent offense, resulting in four attacks and punts. The Raiders got another chance to attack .
Seemingly aware that he was in a bad state today, Tom Brady simply changed the team's pass-based attacking tactics to a running back and ground rushing. After several years of training, Marshawn Lynch played an impressive role With a terrifying level, under the cover of the offensive striker, he rushed the ball one after another and won the first victory.
Only when advancing to the Giants' 30-yard line, the Giants strengthened the ground defense, forcing Tom? Brady had to change tactics, and there were two consecutive pass errors. At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was close to 15 to 17.
It only takes one shot and we can turn the score around!
Hearing Scarlett's words, Duke nodded, but said worriedly, The team's condition is not good today.
Leonardo corrected, It should be said that the defensive teams of the two teams performed too well.
Compared with the offensive group, the defensive groups of the two teams are more like today's protagonists, and they have staged steals and sacks many times.
In the fourth quarter, the defensive groups of the two teams still performed well. Until the last two minutes of the game, the score was still 15 to 17. If it ends with such a score, the New York Giants will take away the Super Bowl.
After all, this is the Super Bowl. Seeing the stalemate on the court, even Duke, who has always been calm, was a little anxious. He didn't care about the camera that swept over from time to time, and frequently shouted something along with Scarlett and Leonardo.
Reelecting the Vince Lombardi Cup is not easy, and no team has ever done it in recent years.
When the team's offensive performance is unfavorable, someone must stand up. American football, like British football, is a sport that values teamwork, but it never lacks individual heroism to change the situation of a game.
With 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game, the Raiders used up the last timeout and then launched an attack from their own 20-yard line. Tom Brady, who was in poor form before, showed a slight improvement. Relying on the pass to get eight yards, the team wants to regain the first attack and continue to advance, and then they must win two yards.
There was less than a minute left in the clock, and if the Raiders' offense performed well, it would be enough time to push forward and complete a touchdown.
For the next three attacks, it is undoubtedly the safest way for the running back to hit the ball for two yards, and Tom Brady did make such a choice.
After the center kicked off, Tom Brady stepped back quickly and made a crossing motion. This was not a fake action, and the ball came to running back Marshawn Lynch.
Marshawn Lynch made a move to the left, but the offensive forwards of the Raiders concentrated on attacking the defense line on the right side of the opponent. Just when several players of the Giants were about to intercept Marshawn Lynch, Marshawn Lynch Lynch suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the gap squeezed by the offensive line.
Like a black beast, Marshawn Lynch's speed was not too fast, but he was full of strength. He squeezed through the small gap and easily completed a two-yard advance, but he didn't stop. No force seemed to be able to stop his onslaught.
A Giants defensive player hugged his waist, but Marshawn Lynch got rid of him; the other defensive player turned over and grabbed his ankle, Marshawn Lynch staggered, but did not fall , After breaking free from the opponent's hand, he continued to charge forward.
As two Giants players joined the ranks of besieging Marshawn Lynch, the Raiders' offensive line also broke through the pockets of the Giants' defensive team by virtue of their superiority in numbers, rushing to Marshawn Lynch's side .
They blocked Marshawn Lynch from front to back, left and right, forming a barrier of cover for him.
Stop him! Stop him!
On the field, the fans of the Giants seemed to have foreseen something, they could no longer sit in their seats, they all stood up and shouted loudly, asking the Giants to stop the black monster.
Go! Go! Go!
An equally prodigious number of Raiders fans, also not sitting down, let out a high-pitched yell.
Duke and Leonardo also stood up, staring closely at the running back who was charging with the ball on the court.
Another Giants player rushed over, but was stopped by the Raiders' tackle. Another cornerback flew up and touched Marshawn Lynch's waist with both hands. The rushing beast left him behind with an unstoppable momentum.
The cornerback of the Giants could only lie on the ground, watching Marshawn Lynch run towards his defensive end, with despair in his eyes.
On the bench, the New York Giants' offensive team, special teams and coaches also showed desperate eyes.
Nearby, on the Los Angeles Raiders bench, everyone stood up, and they raised their hands.
On the court, all the Raiders fans also raised their hands!
In the box, Duke, Scarlett and Leonardo also raised their hands!
Marshawn Lynch has gotten off all the defenses, ten yards, five yards, three yards, one yard...
The players of the Raiders on the field also raised their hands high. Marshawn Lynch rushed into the touchdown zone and scored a 67-yard touchdown. The Los Angeles Raiders overtook the score 21 to 17!
This also means that in the subsequent offense of the New York Giants, a touchdown must be scored, and the three-pointer shot is not enough to change the outcome of the game.
However, with only 9 seconds left in the game, the Raiders still had one chance to kick an extra point.
The Raiders did not choose to kick the ball. After the kickoff from center, Tom Brady stepped back quickly, trying to kill time, and ended the attack by getting down on one knee when the New York Giants players rushed.
He only had 3 seconds left for the New York Giants, which obviously couldn't do anything.
Time quickly came to an end, the Raiders defeated the Giants 21 to 19, and Duke's team won the Super Bowl again! (to be continued ^)
