The Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers have entered the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. At the same time, they are facing a strong rebound impact from their rivals in the same region. Can they continue to maintain a high-energy and efficient state and enter the playoffs for the third consecutive year It is also the focus of attention of the entire league, and also the goal of the two teams to go all out.

The road to defending is extremely difficult, but before defending, it is definitely not easy to enter the playoffs again.

In the preseason, unlike the struggling performance of the San Francisco 49ers, the overall performance of the Houston Texans was relatively stable, and achieved a good record of three wins and one loss. The offensive and defensive ends continued the overall strength of the past two seasons. The framework and bench depth are also more complete than the San Francisco 49ers, which also makes people expect more from the team's new season.

But after the official unveiling of the new season, the Houston Texans' performance was particularly struggling, more or less unexpected. After facing the two weak teams of San Diego Lightning and Tennessee Titans, although they achieved two victories, the process was unsatisfactory and exposed a series of problems.

The opener challenged San Diego Lightning away, "28:31", only a weak advantage of a free kick to beat the opponent; the second week at home against the Tennessee Titans, the two sides reached the regular season time "24:24", only through overtime The match was decided, and the home team finally defeated the opponent with a lore touchdown. The final score was "30:24".

Overall, the Houston Texans' offense has remained relatively stable. The quarterback who played his best career last season and was among the regular-season MVP backups has declined slightly, but he has stabilized his position; but the defensive performance However, there was an obvious slip. JJ Watt is still the biggest star on the field, but without the help of his opponent, he is also alone.

The opening of the new season, each team faces a variety of challenges and problems, the game ups and downs are normal, professionals often say that the first month of the new season is undoubtedly the most difficult, now Houston Texas People are also going through this process, there are many problems in all aspects, which makes the team's state is particularly unstable.

But no matter what, victory is victory. They successfully kicked off the 2013 season with two consecutive victories, including a match that defeated a rival in the same area. Can they ask for more?

Immediately after facing the Baltimore Ravens in the third week, the Houston Texans suffered a sap. Although the first touchdown was achieved in the first quarter, the follow-up game was completely stunned on both ends of the offense and defense. "The disparity game, lost the game without a fight.

Then in the fourth week against the Seattle Seahawks, the nightmare recurred. The Houston Texans once again took the lead in touchdowns and maintained the lead, but at the last moment witnessed the magical performance of Russell Wilson, the score tied to "20: 20 ", the two sides entered overtime, this is the second time the Texans entered overtime in three weeks, but this time the goddess of victory was on the opponent's side," 20:23 ", the Texans lost the game .

Two-game losing streak!

The Houston Texans' shortcomings and flaws exposed in the details of the game are being amplified little by little from the first two straight wins to the next two consecutive losses. In the past two seasons, in the face of hard battles, the Texans have always been able to grind their teeth and come forward at a crucial moment to win the game strongly; but now they have become unstable.

This is not good news for Houston Texans.

However, this is still not the end of the world. The season started with two wins and two losses. The Houston Texans still showed their competitive potential. All the team needs to do now is to stabilize the mind, adjust quickly, and then return to the track of victory. Up, there is still enough time for the season to allow them to continue to impact the playoffs.

"Houston Texans VS San Francisco 49ers", this game came out in this context.

On the one hand, after a two-game losing streak, an urgent need for a victory to stabilize the military heart and return to the track of the impact of the playoffs; on the other hand, after a three-game losing streak, deep in jail, the journey of defending has become precarious, urgently needs Victory stops in time. For both teams, this game is far more than a victory. It can even be said to be a key turning point in the first half of the season.

It is against this background that Lu Ke ’s injury is more and more valuable, adding more excitement to this important duel.

The peak matchup of "Lu Ke VS Watt" also touched a layer of tragic.

The game of the offensive player of the year last year and the defensive player of the year of last year is full of countless topics at any time, but combined with the current situation of the two teams and the status of the two players, the situation becomes subtle. No one can predict the progress and outcome of the game.

There is even a concern in the industry: If Lu Ke's injury was not healed, but forcibly returned for this victory, what impact will follow-up have?

In the professional league, anything is possible for victory without compromise. It's normal to go to battle with injuries. It is not uncommon to force an early comeback for victory. Some people even conceal injuries and continue to play ... The collision of competitive sports and the supremacy of interests always refreshes people's cognitive bottom line.

The emergence of such worries just proved the industry's concerns about the status of the 49 people in San Francisco-without Lu Ke, they almost lost their competitiveness, and also proved that the industry's attitude towards Lu Ke changed-they began to really value Lu Ke The absolute strength of the team is just how much strength can Lu Ke show?

Although Lu Ke has never been a quarterback who relies on his body to play, his brain is his core weapon; but the chaos in the San Francisco 49ers offensive team cannot be ignored. For the next three weeks, the performance of the consecutive touchdowns is even more chaotic. In the case of teammates unable to provide more help, Lu Ke's situation will become more and more difficult.

Lu Ke is an excellent player, but rugby is a sport that requires a big list of 53 people.

For this focus showdown, who can bottom out and the whole league has also launched a heated discussion.

ESPN's "Within the Union" is undoubtedly the first focused hot show!

"Despite the two-game losing streak, we must note that in the last showdown in Seattle, Houston fought to the last moment and ended up only losing a free kick. What does this mean? Houston's current state does appear After the ups and downs, the difficulties faced are far more than the past two years, but they still have the ability to fight against each other! The two-game losing streak is far less bad than it looks! Their configuration is still reasonable ... "

"Okay, it ’s the same old cliché! Houston quarterback Matt-Babu ’s state is slipping, you ca n’t see it; the Houston defense team ca n’t form an effective organization, so JJ-Watt is difficult to do. Neither of you can see! Now this team has broken the balance between offensive and defensive ends ... "

"Then San Francisco's state is safe? The pocket protection of the offensive line has fallen to the lower reaches of the league, and the receiving team's performance has plummeted. Even if Lu Ke returns, he is not a omnipotent savior! Not to mention the overall decline in the defensive group's frontline strength. Alright! Smith's absence is a fatal blow! Now the aging degree of the entire defensive group has exposed shortcomings ... "

"You don't understand Lu Ke's significance to the offensive team at all! His judgment, his consciousness and his layout are core functions that Jim Hubble can't replace. As long as he stands on the field, the offensive team can seize Opportunity, this is the key to changing the whole situation! Judging quarterbacks by data alone is the stupidest act! "

"But Lu Ke has just recovered from injury. Who can guarantee his passing performance under pressure? The quarterback who relies on his brain to play, the precedent in the league is not only Lu Ke! Others do not say, The same rookie Brian Gabbot in 2011 is the best proof that his Von Derrick test score is second only to Lu Ke, but his performance in the past two seasons is indeed a disaster! Why? Because he ca n’t Pass the ball under pressure! Every time his pocket is punctured, he ca n’t panic, he ca n’t make accurate judgments, or even give up the pass, so no matter how clever the mind is, it ’s useless! The Von Derrick test is useless. ! "

"Lu Ke has proved the authority of Von Derrick's test! Looking at last season's performance, who can catch up with his on-the-spot ability? Even Brady or Big Manning, their peak state is not necessarily able to Show such energy! "

"So you mean, Lu Ke is already better than Brady and Big Manning? Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! When did rugby become an intellectual sport? Why don't I know?"

Every year there is a debate about the Von Derrick test, especially in the past two years when Lu Ke was born, which proves the significance of the Von Derrick test's full score far beyond imagination. Naturally, above the NBA Draft, all 32 teams couldn't help but pay attention to test scores. But why has only one Lu Ke stand out so far?

The reason is simple. During the game, it is always in dynamic confrontation. When the quarterback is under pressure in the pocket, can he calmly judge? After the quarterbacks have encountered consecutive sacks, do they dare to hold the ball for a long time and observe the completion of the pass? When the quarterback is caught in a cat-and-mouse chase, is it possible to catch the pass line and avoid being caught with too long a ball?

In the face of chaos and calmness, this is an area that the Von Derrick test cannot detect; at the same time, it is also an important reason why the Von Derrick test cannot always be the core criterion for judging the excellent quarterback.

"Stop! Stop! How did you discuss it and start off the topic? We are not talking about the Vendrick test, but San Francisco and Houston! Back to the topic, the topic!"
