"Boom!"

Ford Field exploded, grandly and majestically!

Starting with a screen pass play, after a series of fierce and chaotic events, it eventually turned into a screen long pass. Lu Ke, while losing his balance and with a distorted throwing motion, completed a forty-six-yard pass and found his most trusted receiver, Logan Newman, in the midst of the chaos!

Then, under Chris Harris's one-on-one coverage, Logan Newman powerfully broke free and completed the catch with a spectacular dive. He then clumsily tumbled out of bounds and crashed into the San Francisco 49ers' players on the sideline, causing a frenzy.

On the brink of disaster, he made a last-ditch effort, turned the tide, and, with an overwhelming and dominant display of power, advanced to the opponent's twenty-one-yard line.

In an instant, the adrenaline exploded like fireworks on the Fourth of July! The commentators in the booth marveled and applauded. The visiting fans finally found a release, after suppressing and waiting. At this moment, their emotions could finally burst forth without reservation.

"Ahhh!" Chris Wilson roared uncontrollably. At this moment, words had lost all meaning. He just screamed wildly, and in his vision, he saw his friends jumping up and down. Jeff Locke, Danny Rees, and others were like firecrackers, jumping up high without a care, clenching their right fists, and shouting in unison—

"Niners! Niners! Niners!"

The hoarse shouts gradually coalesced into a single voice, finally becoming one. The cheers of all the fans formed a resonance that swept through Ford Field, creating large waves of air and turning the whole world upside down. In the face of the home fans' intimidation, the visiting fans finally found an opportunity to vent the pent-up frustration in their chests.

The happiness of the visiting fans was the torment of the home fans. The celebration of the visiting players was a slap in the face to the home players.

Harris stood up, not caring about how clumsy he looked. With his hands on his hips, he panted heavily, and his anger began to burn brightly. Again, he was fooled again! And this time, it was in the deep passing area, where they were most skilled. A fatal forty-six-yard strike was completed. The feeling of humiliation was infuriating!

The backfield, which Harris and Delmas were jointly defending, had been as solid as a fortress in today's game. They were even smug that Lu Ke, who was known for his long passes, hadn't even attempted one so far. Their leisure was the best compliment, as it showed the opponent's fear.

But now, he didn't make a sound, and when he did, it was a big one. The first long-pass attempt was surprisingly aimed at the red zone, and it was a heavy, fatal blow that was completed in an extremely difficult situation. This... this was simply...

"Shit! Shit!" Harris's cursing was unstoppable. He wished he could eat Lu Ke's flesh and drink his blood, to devour that annoying guy whole!

That violent anger and ferocity were instantly released. He couldn't help but start swinging his fists at the air, like a heavyweight boxing champion fighting for a championship belt. All the strength in his body was unleashed, but the emptiness of hitting nothing in the air made him unable to vent his emotions. Instead, it made him even more tormented.

That damned guy!

Sitting clumsily on the ground, Lu Ke's eyes were fixed on the football. Watching Logan complete the catch in an incredibly difficult position, Lu Ke jumped up as if there was a spring under his butt. He then clenched his right fist and sprinted toward Logan, his face filled with the ecstasy of a narrow escape.

He knew it, he just knew it. Logan would definitely understand!

When the other receivers were already lost and at a loss, Logan and Lu Ke's chemistry once again established a connection. The routes of the pass and the catch were perfectly aligned, and with the personal abilities of the two players, they turned a disadvantageous situation around and gained yards!

Sure enough, at a critical moment, Logan was still the most trustworthy passing target!

Fiercely, Lu Ke rushed forward and hugged Logan tightly. Then, the two friends slapped each other's backs hard, making loud thuds. It seemed as if they wouldn't stop until the other one spit up blood.

Eventually, Ted Ginn, who was not far away, jogged over and patted Logan's shoulder. "Hey, hey, stop, stop, Logan. Be careful. If you break Bambi, there's no after-sales service here to fix him."

Logan had an innocent expression on his face. "What about me?"

But Ginn shook his head nonchalantly. "Isn't there Vernon?" This was a devastating blow.

Lu Ke, standing next to them, laughed heartily and then quickly waved to Logan and Ginn. "Go, quick, keep going. We can't slow down." The celebration time was short. They were now on the twenty-one-yard line, but a field goal was not their goal. A touchdown was.

Without Lu Ke's instructions, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive players quickly and consciously ran to the twenty-one-yard line, ready to line up and continue the attack. After five weeks of games and practice, their chemistry was also gradually forming.

"The tempo is speeding up. The San Francisco 49ers' offense has completely entered high-speed mode, and now they are speeding up even more. In the past five weeks, this has become an important strategy for the 49ers' offense to score. This is a new look that the team has shown this season." In the broadcast studio, Teddy was watching the dynamic on the field. He clearly felt that Lu Ke's huddle time was shortening. The Lions' defensive players hadn't even had time to catch their breath, and the 49ers' offense was already lining up.

Huddle is a shorthand for gathering to discuss.

Before a play, the offensive players gather in a huddle. The quarterback conveys the coaching staff's tactical plan, and the players discuss the routes. This is crucial for the next play. There is no room for error in complex and changing plays. This process is called the huddle.

However, in an official game, the offense often shortens the huddle time to speed up the tempo, or even creates a "no-huddle offense," completely skipping the huddle and relying on the quarterback's ability and the offense's talent to gain yards. This is a tactical plan that takes instinct, talent, awareness, and chemistry to the extreme.

In the past, the no-huddle offense could only be used to great effect in college games where the tactics were relatively simple. Now, in professional games, the no-huddle offense has also become an important part of the West Coast offense. To put it simply, it is a way to use the quarterback's personal ability to speed up the offense to the extreme, forming completely different offensive combinations with the quarterback's different styles.

Now, the San Francisco 49ers were not in a no-huddle offense mode, but they greatly shortened the huddle time, further speeding up the entire offensive tempo. However, they were also risking a tactical miscommunication. It was like a showdown between the east wind and the west wind. Either the east wind would overpower the west wind, or the west wind would overpower the east wind.

In the previous drive, there was already a tactical error. So what about this time?

Teddy turned to his partner. "Kirk, what do you think? Is this a new look brought by Jim Harbaugh, or is it an offensive style formed by Lu Ke's personal style?"

"Personally, I think this is Lu Ke's style," Kirk said, giving his opinion. "In the San Francisco 49ers' team, Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick are not quarterbacks with this fast-paced offensive style. But now, the tactical cooperation between Lu Ke and Harbaugh has created a spark. The fast-paced drive and the shortened huddle time have given the San Francisco 49ers' entire offense a new look."

Kirk then pointed to the players who had lined up on the screen. "Now we're at the edge of the red zone. This will undoubtedly be a fierce battle between the Lions and the 49ers." Having just witnessed two consecutive brilliant drives, Kirk's mood relaxed a little, and he made a joke. "What do you think? Is this a run or a pass?"

"A short pass, I guess," Teddy joked back with a smile.

On the field, Lu Ke had already called the snap.

Under the cover of the two-tight-end formation, Vernon Davis and Logan Newman both sprinted in a straight line. After just three or four yards, they simultaneously changed direction. Vernon cut toward the goalposts and then continued to move diagonally deep. Logan pulled horizontally to the left side. In addition, the stationary runs of Michael Crabtree and Ted Ginn in the short passing area created a tense situation in the Lions' short passing area.

However, Lu Ke, who was standing close to the center, didn't pull any tricks. With a turn, he took a big step and handed the football to Marcus Lynch.

It was a running play! Using the two tight ends in the short passing area to disrupt vision and defense, and then relying on their physical advantage to clear a path for the running back to run through.

Instantly, the Lions' defensive line and linebackers quickly shrunk their defensive formation, tightly sealing all defensive gaps. But under the powerful impact of the 49ers' offensive line, at least two gaps appeared in the middle, which could be an opening for the running back. No one would question Marcus's ability to break through the defensive line.

So, the Lions' secondary also moved forward a little, preparing to make a second stop.

Marcus hugged the football and charged toward the gap created by the offensive line in a battering ram motion. But as his feet were about to get close to the center, he surprisingly stopped abruptly at the spot where Lu Ke had just been standing. He then turned and threw the football—

Just now, Lu Ke stood behind the center and threw the ball to Marcus. Now, Marcus stood behind the center and threw the ball to Lu Ke.

The positions were reversed, the roles were switched. In a flash, it formed a cycle. Then, they saw Lu Ke steadily catch the football. With just one step forward and no adjustments, he raised his right hand and completed the pass.
