The NFL game rules are perhaps the most complex sport in the world, if not, then at least one of them. Sometimes, even the official referees of the league need to read the rules manual at the game site to confirm, in order to make accurate judgments.

Regarding the successful catch and the progress after catching the ball, the relevant rules have many special conditions.

One of the rules stipulates that when the ball-holding player touches the ground with both knees and the opponent player does not touch the player, then the rugby is still a live ball, and no dead ball is formed, and the game can continue.

A simple example shows that Lu Ke is now in the pocket, ready to pass, but the pocket is torn and the opponent attempts to sack the quarterback. Lu Ke didn't easily surrender and surrendered, still relying on his own feet to dodge the grapple. When he dodge, he accidentally fell to the ground, but the opponent's player did not touch Lu Ke, then Lu Ke can stand up again, Continue to complete the pass.

This is an effective pass.

The same is true of Vernon just now.

At the moment of receiving the ball, the opposing defensive player did not touch Vernon, which did not form a dead ball, so Vernon stood up again and continued to complete the advancement.

Next, Vernon lost his center of gravity, dropped the sideline, formed a dead ball, and then pushed forward to terminate-or, if the opposing defense player could complete the grapple and force Vernon ’s knees to touch the ground, this could also form a dead ball and terminate Advance.

However, the frequency of this rule on the field is very low. After all, the situation is so special that some players do n’t even know it, or they are in the tense atmosphere of the game. After touching the ground, he gave up pushing.

Occasionally, in the game, you can see a scene where a player has fallen after finishing receiving the ball. The opponent's defensive player does not need to grapple or collide, but he still runs over without a loss of speed and pats gently. This player.

This action is not to comfort the opponent, or to pay tribute to the opponent, but is determined to form a dead ball.

...

Lu Ke stood in his pocket, straightened his waist, and looked around quickly. For a while, he was not sure about the situation on the court, and then there was Hubble's voice in his ear. "Kick-off! Bambi, kick-off ! "

The voice was extremely rapid, and even anxious. Lu Ke was unclear. So, he faced the Hubble on the left side of the court and pointed in the direction of the referee. No words were needed. The meaning was obvious: didn't the referee terminate the game?

Hubble didn't have time to explain, he continued to shout, "Kick-off!" At the same time, he also rushed forward along the sideline of the sideline, exaggeratedly, and constantly raised his arms to draw a circle, indicating to advance and continue to advance.

Such a sight fell on Lu Ke's eyes, which was not only foggy, but also quite gratifying, but Lu Ke did not continue to question, turned around, and signaled his offensive teammates to prepare to kick off, but it was too late Too.

"The game was suspended." The whistle was followed by the broadcast. The referee officially announced the suspension of the game. "The New York Giants challenged, and now the official look back."

At this time, Lu Ke realized what was going on.

Turning his head, he looked to the right, and then saw the head coach of New York Giants Tom Coughlin (Tom-Coughlin) throw a red flag, officially challenge the referee's penalty.

In football games, there are two kinds of penalties: yellow flag and red flag. Yellow flag means foul and yardage is lost; red flag means challenge, the head coach challenges the referee.

However, the use of red flags is limited by time. It's not that the head coach can challenge any penalty of the whole game at any time; it can only be done after this short penalty and before the game restarts with this short gap.

It is because the thinking time is too short, and the risk is too great-if you fail, you will be deducted a pause time in this half; therefore, in the official game, the head coach often cannot make a rational judgment, can only believe Your own intuition.

Sometimes, they will bury the game because of a red flag challenge; sometimes, they will miss the penalty in favor of themselves because of a hesitation. After the game, they regret it.

In other words, if Lu Ke kicked off the ball just now and announced the start of the game again, then Coughlin cannot challenge the referee and the game can only continue, which is why Hubble keeps signalling; Realizing the mystery and missing the kick-off time, Kovlin decided to challenge the penalty after a short thinking.

At this moment, Lu Ke's biggest shortcoming was exposed: no game experience.

This was the first time Lu Ke encountered a red flag challenge in his career. He didn't realize the controversy of punishment, nor did he realize the reason for the dispute between Coughlin and the referee.

In the game, Lu Ke, who seemed to be resourceful and strategic, now finally reveals the prototype, he is a downright rookie. If it is a veteran quarterback, even if they missed the opportunity themselves, they will kick off immediately after seeing the head coach's hint. However, there is no if.

After the reaction, Lu Ke himself laughed dumbly, and a sense of absurdity invaded.

...

"The Red Flag challenge, challenged by the New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin. Obviously, Lu Ke missed the opportunity for a quick kick-off and gave his opponent a chance to challenge. Hubble stood on the sideline and held his head in annoyance. We can finally be sure that this is indeed a rookie quarterback. "

Although the red flag challenge was raised on the field, Teddy's tone was very relaxed, and he ridiculed Lu Ke a little. The regular season has been going on for ten weeks, and there are really few such moments.

"Today's game was truly brilliant. The opening was less than four minutes. First, I experienced a four-gear three-yard strong fight. Now I am facing a red flag challenge. One opening is already ups and downs, and the accidents continue." After the joke, Teddy is back on the game again, "Kirke, what do you think of Coughlin's red flag challenge?"

"The point of controversy now is whether, after Vernon Davis finishes receiving the ball, in the short period of time from when his knees touch the ground to when he stands up again, whether Prince Amcamar has touched It ’s Davis. The referee ’s previous decision was that there was no touch, so Davis ’advancement was legal.”

Kirk briefly explained to the audience which penalty Kovlin challenged the referee, and then began to play a slow motion, using a yellow fountain pen to circle the focus area on the screen, "This ... is a bit ambiguous. From this point of view, it feels like there is no touch, but it may also be due to the angle of the camera. We need to call up the video from another angle and watch it again. "

However, there seems to be a problem with the video scheduling of the live guide. The same video clip was repeatedly played. Kirk and Teddy watched it carefully two or three times, and still couldn't see one.

Teddy is even more experienced, and he simply skipped the video and asked directly, "Kirk, personally, do you think Coughlin's red flag challenge is impulsive? Or is it sure?"

"I think this is an interesting entry point." Kirk nodded in agreement. "This attack just happened on the right side, just under the eyes of the New York Giants players and coaches. Perhaps, their perspective More clearly, after a short dispute, Coughlin chose to challenge. "

"Of course, even if it fails, the Giants lose a chance to suspend, but this is only the first half, so the risk is not so great. So, Coughlin is still more bold." Kirk still refused after the analysis. Give the conclusion, "So, this is a probability problem, let's leave it to the referee to judge."

...

In the NFL game, there are a lot of moments when you need to watch the video to look back.

In addition to the red flag challenge, the referee also required multiple referees to gather together to watch the video playback and make accurate penalties when certain penalties were made. Later, in order to avoid misjudgments, the league also introduced new rules. During the last two minutes of the game and the second half, all touchdowns must be watched and played back to ensure that the touchdowns are legal.

For this reason, every game, a black small tent will be built on the sidelines, which is dubbed as "the little black house". The referees will drill into the little black house, watch the video playback, and broadcast it with the NFL headquarters Contact the parties to review the punishment in a comprehensive manner from multiple perspectives and perspectives to ensure that the final judgment is as fair as possible.

By the way, in 2017, the league changed the rules, and they hope that the video review will be more transparent. So the little black house was abolished, and instead, a staff member stood on the scene holding a tablet computer, and the referees gathered together to watch the game video.

Transparency is transparent, but it does not have the slightest majesty and dignity. It reveals a sense of joy and a small family, and is vomited by countless commentators.

At this point, all the referees gathered in the little black room on the sidelines and watched the video of the game repeatedly.

The time was slightly longer. Lu Ke and the members of the offensive team stood on the side of the court, drinking water and resting. At the same time, Lu Ke also discussed tactics with the coaches of the offensive team.

Just after the end of the game, Lu Ke became the object of everyone's vomiting, missed the kick-off time, causing the opponent to successfully challenge the red flag.

Vernon rushed over first, pretending to say fiercely, "If this offense is blown, it's all because of you." However, the smile in his eyes revealed his true emotions.

Lu Ke was stunned, "Are you sure it was you? Isn't it that you didn't finish receiving the ball when you just advanced?" But this time, all the other players said in unison, "No, it's you. "

Not only the players, but the coaching staff all laughed together.

Originally, a red flag challenge, Vernon ’s brilliant advancement may be greatly discounted, and it may also interrupt the offensive feel of the San Francisco 49ers who have just recovered. This is obviously not a good thing; but now, in the laughter, the team instead It was relaxed, and did not seem to be affected too much.

But, pity Lu Ke, and for a long time to come, this matter will probably become his label.

"Red flag boy." Marcus vomited.
