Chapter 453 Amazing Tom
Zhao Dong refreshed the system from time to time that day, and it was not until noon that the competition tasks were issued.
Superstar Sniper Mission: Snipe super quarterback Tom Brady.
Task requirements: 1. Sack Brady 2 times; 2. intercept Brady 3 times; 3. force Brady to pass the ball 5 times; 4. complete a touchdown return after intercepting Brady; 5. complete 2 touchdowns.
Mission rewards: Completing all tasks will reward you with a chance to recover from serious injuries; completing 4 of them will reward Brady's long-passing skills; completing any 3 tasks will reward you with five skill points.
"Does this force me to complete at least 5 options?"
Seeing Brady's long passing skills, Zhao Dong felt that this was also a pretty good reward.
However, the Jets' current lineup, even with one more Lion, is not perfect because the wide receivers are not strong enough.
A good wide receiver can only be matched with an excellent quarterback. Without a good wide receiver, no matter how good the quarterback is, no matter how good the long passing skills are, he can only attack on the ground and run the ball.
So what he needs most now is not long-passing skills. In the offensive team, the abilities the team needs him most now are wide receivers and running backs.
One is a passing attack and the other is a ground attack. For these two positions, plus the quarterback, the Jets have no star players, so he can only play one.
Verin Paul's long passes are average, so ground attack is the most suitable offensive method for the Jets, and running back is the position where he can provide the greatest contribution now.
After reading the mission content, he looked at the number of collisions he had done. It was 14 times in the first game, only 5 times in the second game, and the total was only 19 times. It would be a long way to go to upgrade!
"Dad, there are many reporters outside."
When Zhao Dong was about to take people to the team for training, the fourth child Rongxing ran over and shouted.
"Really? Dad has gone to train. Don't fight with your brothers at home, otherwise you will be taught a lesson by your three brothers."
Zhao Dong warned with a smile.
This old son's character is most similar to his, and he is also his favorite son.
Of course, there is a very important reason why he likes him the most. He is also the only son he can recognize at a glance. He is the strongest raised. The other three still can't tell which one is which. They have to ask every time, and their personalities are also different. More like Lindsay.
Outside the villa,
A large number of reporters were waiting on both sides, and they all swarmed up when Zhao Dong's motorcade came out.
He opened the car window a crack and accepted an interview with the media. From the reporters, he learned some of what the man-eating shark Dakar said at the press conference.
"Coward? Play against him? Is he out of his mind? Or does he think I am out of his mind?"
He didn't bother to respond at all, and only said to reporters: "You can give me a suggestion to him, let them eat more pig brains, that stuff is suitable for him."
After saying that, he closed the window and signaled the convoy to leave, leaving behind a large number of reporters looking at each other.
"Pig brains? Are those things edible?" a reporter asked with disgust on his face.
"Is it suitable for man-eating sharks to eat pig brains?" another reporter asked thoughtfully.
"Let's go find the man-eating shark."
After discussing for a while, all the reporters immediately dispersed.
In the evening, Giants Stadium was already packed inside and outside.
"Man-eating shark, Tyrannosaurus said you are suitable for eating pig brains. Do you like that stuff?" A reporter asked after some reporters were allowed to enter the visiting team's locker room.
"What?"
Dakar looked disgusted, who the hell would eat that stuff? He glared with a pair of fierce eyes and roared: "The damn Chinese only like that disgusting stuff, it's garbage, they only deserve to eat that garbage! None of the dogs I raise will eat that kind of stuff, too much It’s disgusting!”
At eight o'clock, the players come out.
This time, the visiting team was arranged to play first. As a mortal enemy in the same district, the Patriots received overwhelming boos, middle fingers and curses, which vividly demonstrated the hatred and anger of Jets fans towards this team.
"Open the gate!"
As the staff screamed, the New York Jets' fully-armed players rushed out of the tunnel and ran toward the field with a rumble.
With a bang, the entire Giants Stadium was engulfed in cheers. More than 80,000 home team fans shouted wildly, and the entire stadium was trembling.
The national live broadcast tonight is NBA TV, as well as regional broadcasters.
The on-field commentators for the regional broadcasters are still Russell Neveda and Wells Michael.
Russell Neveda first introduced the information about the visiting team and said: "The Patriots are very strong this season, winning their first two consecutive victories and are in very good shape.
The amazing Tom sent a total of 5 touchdown passes in the two games, which is the first in the league. The passing distance in the two games reached 578 yards, 47 successful passes, only 3 interceptions, and only sacks. I did it once and the performance was excellent. "
Wells Michael smiled and said: "There is a rumor in the media that the Tyrannosaurus is going to capture Amazing Tom. Russell, do you think he can succeed?"
"It will definitely succeed."
As the home commentator, Russell Neveda's position is very clear and decisive.
Wells Michael laughed and said: "Our lineup is also being completed and strengthened after many transactions. The addition of Tyrannosaurus and Herb Hanks, I think, plays a key role. I hope they can play a key role in this game." Able to perform well.”
Russell Neveda smiled: "Last time we played the Colts, we narrowly won, and the victory was very lucky. The opponent in this game should be a little stronger than the Colts, and we should be more careful."
At this time, the coin guess was completed, Verin Paul guessed correctly, the Jets chose to attack, and the Patriots chose to choose a side.
Soon, the special teams of both teams took the field and prepared for the kickoff.
Those who are able work hard, Edwards determined the position of Zhao Dong's main returner, and he played.
The Patriots, in order to strengthen the special teams lineup, sent a star player, the main defensive end, Newman Dakar.
The kickoff is at the 30-yard line and the Patriots kick off the game.
The rules of the kick-off, for the kick-off team, are to line up ten players on the kick-off line, with at least five players on each side, plus the kicker, eleven players.
The ten yards before the line of scrimmage is no man's land and the receiving team cannot enter before the kickoff.
"Bang!"
The kicker kicked the ball high, very high, and flew "slowly" toward the Jets' end zone.
Zhao Dong made a quick judgment and immediately moved towards the end zone.
He judged that the ball must land in the end zone, otherwise it would not have been kicked so high.
Because it is high, the ball stays in the air for a long time, which gives the kicker time. As the defender, they have the opportunity to rush over and prevent the Jets from returning the ball while it is flying in the air. attack.
In the Jets' first preseason game, he played the 100-meter return, and the opponent did the same thing. A safety guard was very fast. When he caught the ball in the end zone, he just rushed out of the end zone ( (end zone), the safety had arrived and he was almost knocked down. It would be terrible if he was knocked down in front of the end zone.
So now the Patriots also have this idea. If he chooses to attack back, the Patriots will have the opportunity to block the run in the end zone and compress the Jets' offensive line at the front of the end zone.
More than 80,000 people in the audience, plus countless football fans in North America, were all staring at the football in the sky to see whether it would land in the end zone or fly directly over the end line.
"It may go out of bounds or it may fall into the end zone. Will it give us a choice?" Russell Neveda asked loudly in the broadcast booth.
As soon as the ball hit the oven tray ten yards, the Patriots' cornerbacks, safeties, and linebackers rushed out and rushed toward the Jets, very fast, just chasing the ball in the sky.
This is the tactic they have set. The ball is directly given to the end zone, and it is in a very deep position. This allows Zhao Dong to return deeper and further, which will give them more time to rush to the opponent's end zone. Lay down the first line of defense.
"The end zone!?"
Soon, the spot was revealed and the football plummeted into the end zone.
"Give it! What is Tyrannosaurus's choice?" Russell Nevida asked sharply.
The football slid down like a missile, and Zhao Dong stretched out his hands toward the sky.
At this moment, his eyes glanced at the rushing Patriots defensive players. The nearest safety guard had already rushed to the edge of the red zone.
And his position was two yards in front of the end line, eight yards from the red zone. The ball's placement was very tricky. When he rushed out of the end zone after starting, the Patriots' safety guard had already rushed in front of him.
On this kickoff, the Patriots gave him the opportunity to choose to return the ball, because if he could complete this touchdown, his return touchdown yards would break the league record.
The league's current return touchdown record is 106 yards. His current position is 2 yards before the end line. As long as he completes the touchdown, it will be 108 yards. This will be a new return touchdown record.
His last 100-yard return in the preseason was 105 yards, which did not break the record of 106 yards.
However, this opportunity is a bait, and he is likely to be knocked down a few yards before the end zone.
Kick-off is also a transfer of ball rights, and the rules stipulate that after the transfer of ball rights, one cannot pass the ball forward. In other words, if he chooses to attack back, he can only rush forward by himself, or pass the ball backward (parallel direction) .
Once pressed down in that position, the rest of the offensive line is there, too passive and too dangerous.
So, now he has two choices. First, kneel down on one knee and make a safe movement to catch the ball. Second, rush out and commit suicide.
His choice was to rush out, but not to seek death.
He is just a safety, and his weight will never exceed 100 kilograms. If he is tackled by a safety, why is he playing football?
The Patriots' kickoff tactic is very successful, but there is a flaw in that he is not an ordinary returner. He is a returner with a light forward physique and top explosive power. It is not ordinary to use a safety to knock him down. Big.
Of course, this is his confidence.
Now there is not only a safety rushing into the red zone, but also a safety and a cornerback on the other side. He has to pass the first blockade set by these three people.
How to get there?
