Chapter 449 The 2nd Touchdown

Sure enough, the Colts got three consecutive first downs and pushed the offensive line to the 56-yard line. Then Peyton Manning passed a 31-yard rainbow pass that broke all the Jets' defense. The Colts' star wide receiver Harris Norman caught the ball and ran 14 yards for a touchdown. Then another extra point was scored, and the Colts rewritten the score to 14:7.

The entire stadium was boiling, the buzzing noise was earth-shattering, and the morale of the Colts team soared tenfold.

"Coach, let me go." Zhao Dong stood up with his helmet in hand.

He defeated the three-eyed monster Venis, and the Jets did not acquire a star-level defensive forward in subsequent transactions. Therefore, the Jets' defensive team is obviously not as strong as last season. It would be better if he was on the defensive team. Now If he's on the bench, that's not going to work.

However, Edels did not agree and still let Zhao Dong continue to rest.

Afterwards, Zhao Dong was kept on the bench in the first quarter and did not play again.

After the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 17:17.

Neither of the latter two teams scored a touchdown. After Zhao Dong came off the field, the Jets' scoring ability dropped significantly and their ability to push the ball was insufficient. The Colts played better in the back and continued to advance through Peyton Manning's passes. Didn't score a touchdown, but scored a lot of points through free kicks.

In the second quarter, Zhao Dong was finally sent on the field by Edels.

But rugby is really not a game that can be handled by one person, not to mention that Zhao Dong is not very strong now. If the opportunity is very good, he may explode. Under normal circumstances, he can only become the same as others. An ordinary part of the pitch.

The Colts relied on their stronger strength. Peyton Manning once again sent a touchdown pass in the second quarter, scored a touchdown, and overtook the score. At halftime, 20:27, they led by 7 points.

The Jets only relied on free kicks to score three points in the second quarter, and their offensive capabilities were obviously lacking.

In the second half, the situation remained the same, with the Jets still having a weak offense and insufficient defense.

Although Zhao Dong worked hard and intercepted a pass from Peyton Manning, he was unable to save the situation.

At the 14th minute of the fourth quarter, with 36 seconds left in the game, at 28:40, Peyton Manning sent his fourth touchdown pass of the game. The Colts scored again and led by 12 points. .

The extra point was scored by 1 point. At 28:41, the Colts continued to expand the point difference and led by 13 points. The Jets were unable to recover.

However, the Jets still did not give up the game.

Sticking to the end is the tradition of NFL games. There is no such thing as garbage time in the NFL. At the last second, even though they know they will lose, players must play hard so that they can deserve the support of the fans, otherwise they will be scolded to death by the fans.

Now the same is true for the Jets. Eddles called the last timeout and carefully arranged the offensive tactics.

This time, he took a gamble and placed Zhao Dong as a wide receiver, and a strong-side wide receiver.

The so-called strong side receiver is the strong side of the quarterback.

If the quarterback is left-handed, then the left side is the strong side and the right side is the blind side.

If the quarterback is right-handed, then the opposite is true.

Verin Paul is right-handed, so the right side is the strong side and the left side is the blind side.

Like the quarterback, none of the team's wide receivers is a star, so Eddlez bet on Zhao Dong's catching ability.

He knows that Zhao Dong has very strong physical fitness and can maintain excellent physical condition even if he works part-time in the offensive team and defensive team.

At the last moment of the game, good physical fitness can lead to better performance.

Game start. The Jets lined up.

Zhao Dong was one yard behind the right offensive line, near the sideline. His position immediately caught the Colts' attention.

"Instead of playing tight end, play wide receiver?"

Colts head coach Adam Lomas was stunned, and he immediately began analyzing Zhao Dong's strengths and weaknesses at the wide receiver position.

After this analysis, his brows immediately furrowed.

Zhao Dong actually caused great difficulties for the Colts tonight. Whether it was the tight end of the offensive team or the strong side linebacker of the defensive team, they could get a mismatch advantage. The Colts would not have been able to cope with it. If it weren't for Peyton Manning The team is too strong, sending four touchdown passes in a single game, and the Jets themselves are average. We don’t know how tonight’s game will turn out.

The Colts can't handle Zhao Dong's mismatch advantage at the tight end and linebacker positions. So at the wide receiver position, which cornerback and safety on the Colts can handle it?

This is just like on the basketball court, Zhao Dong is an interior line, and the cornerbacks and safety guards are defenders, just one step behind. Furthermore, Zhao Dong also has the speed of a top wide receiver, which is faster than ordinary cornerbacks and safety guards.

After a simple analysis, Adam Lomas knew that Zhao Dong's mismatch advantage at the wide receiver position would be greater than his misplacement advantage above the tight end and linebacker, making it even more difficult for the Colts to deal with.

His head suddenly grew bigger.

Fortunately, there is no time. It takes less than a minute and you should be able to persevere.

On the field, a Colts cornerback standing opposite Zhao Dong was helpless.

Zhao Dong's physique can be regarded as the lightest forward in the NFL, that is, a tight end, which is equivalent to a small forward in basketball. The strongest linebacker is one size smaller than him.

Cornerbacks and safeties are the smallest defenders and they need the fastest speed to deal with wide receivers and running backs.

He is only 182 centimeters and 95 kilograms. He is not short for a cornerback and has a very strong physique. But in front of Zhao Dong, he is just like a little boy, just like Zhao Dong standing in front of O'Neal, more than two sizes too small.

"Tyrannosaurus, you are shameless in bullying the young!"

"Go ahead and carry a defensive lineman, and you'll get killed."

"Tyrannosaurus, you are really a softie, you only know how to bully little people."

Some fans at the scene cursed angrily.

"attack!"

Welin Paul gave a sharp shout, and the offensive and defensive battle began.

Zhao Dong immediately started up and rushed forward.

Of course, the cornerback did not block, but pursued the defense, because he had seen Zhao Dong knock over their team's tight end and strong side linebacker too many times tonight.

Speed ​​up, speed up again...

In two seconds, Zhao Dong had already crossed the 35-yard line. At this time, a safety came up and the original cornerback began to deal with him.

Behind him, Paul Weilin was hiding in his pocket, observing Zhao Dong's position.

In this tactic, he wants to pass a long ball.

With his strength, he can pass a long pass of 40 yards at most. If it goes further, his arm strength is not enough, and there is no accuracy at all.

Football is not heavy, but when the ball is flying in the air, the resistance is very high. Long passes require a lot of arm strength. The average star quarterback can only pass a few intermediate passes in the later stages of his career. A super long pass will never be passed.

Even if it is a 40-yard long pass, the strength of the receiver is also very much considered.

A Colts defensive end had broken through the five Jets offensive linemen and lunged at Waylin Paul.

"do not care!"

Seeing Zhao Dong being followed by two cornerbacks and safety guards, Verin Paul couldn't care less. If he didn't pass the ball out, he would definitely be sacked.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, he stretched his bow and arms, and the ball flew into the sky and disappeared into the blazing sun.

"coming!"

Surrounded by two defensive players, Zhao Dong had already rushed to the 55-yard line, when he saw the ball being passed.

This position is exactly 40 yards away from Welin Paul's position.

"Lie down!"

However, when he looked back at the ball, the dazzling sunlight made him unable to see anything. He could only see an inconspicuous black spot sliding down from the sky.

Moreover, the position of the black dot is still a little behind, and the landing point is about 51 yards.

He quickly turned around, forced his way through the cornerbacks and safeties, rushed back, jumped up after two steps, caught the ball with both hands, and made a blind catch.

"predict!"

As soon as the ball touched my hand, I couldn't catch it because I couldn't see clearly, so I let it go.

At this time, several Colts defensive players rushed over to grab the ball.

"It's over!"

Everyone on the Jets, from the players on the field to the bench, knew the game was over.

If the ball lands directly on the ground, it is an unsuccessful pass. The ball still belongs to the Jets and they can start the next offense directly.

But if the ball is snatched before it hits the ground, it belongs to the Colts, and the Colts can attack right back.

The important thing is that no matter who has the ball, time is wasted.

But Zhao Dong did not give up. When he landed, several Colts players were already rushing around him, but he very calmly picked the ball up with one hand, high into the air again, and towards the direction of the Colts end line, and then He immediately turned around and rushed towards the landing point.

That landing point was seven yards away. There were no defensive players there, and it was an empty no-man's land all the way to the end zone.

Zhao Dong's pick was like a rainbow pass on the football field. It was so unexpected and a stroke of genius. It was full of aura and completely got rid of many enemies.

However, he must break through the siege and receive the ball first, and cannot let the ball fall to the ground. The ball is dead when it hits the ground. Although the ball is still in possession, time is wasted.

At this moment, the test is the starting speed. Whoever starts first will have the advantage.

As for the speed of the first step, he is not afraid of anyone. Grant Hill's first step is the first in NBA history.

With one step when turning around, he burst through the gap between a cornerback and a safety behind him and rushed to the landing spot five yards away.

All the defensive players gathered around Zhao Dong, preparing to grab the ball. Unexpectedly, Zhao Dong would directly pick the ball up, or even directly pick it out of this range. His reaction was a beat slow, and his mind and body could not keep up with Zhao Dong. rhythm.

"pretty!"

"What a quick response!"

Even the two commentators on the scene were amazed by Zhao Dong's pick.

"..."

And all the home fans were collectively dumbfounded.

"besides?"

The Jets players and coaches stared wide-eyed. The players on the field were about to return to defense, but then everyone immediately began to rush forward.

Zhao Dong broke out of the siege. This time, no one interfered with him catching the ball. He successfully caught the falling ball in his hands and started running hard.

In front of him, there were only a safety and a cornerback running from the other side, but they were obviously unable to catch up.

"It's over!"

Seeing him catch the ball made all the Colts players and fans shake their heads.

"Bang!"

Zhao Dong rushed into the end zone and slammed the ball onto the grass.

"yeah!"

The Jets bench cheered wildly.

"well!"

The whole audience sighed.

"The Tyrannosaurus scored its second touchdown of the game. His performance tonight was amazing!" Siegel said helplessly in the commentary box.

Zhao Dong was once again pressed at the bottom of the Arhat Tower, with the God of Thunder at the top.

This big guy weighing more than 150 kilograms was so excited that he refused to come down from the top. He was so crushed that Zhao Dong cursed loudly from below: "You bastards, I'm about to be crushed to death."

"Ha ha……"

The group of guys dispersed and pulled Zhao Dong up laughing.

At 34:41, the Jets were still 7 points behind.

Next up, the Jets special teams take the field.

Edwards arranged for the kick to score a point.

If the ground attack fails and the Colts attack back, it's over. It's safer to score one point.

Of course, he basically gave up hope because there were not many games left.

The special team got one point smoothly, 35:41, and the Jets were still 6 points behind.

Now it was the Colts' turn to attack. The offensive line was at the 20-yard line with 13 seconds left in the game.
