The NFL regular season phase is over, and domestic games are coming to an end. The series of special sections launched this year, "Domestic Games", will also continue to describe the domestic American football game in detail. In this way, I also hope that more fans can pay attention to the domestic American football game.
This issue introduces a friendly match between the Nanjing Tigers and the Hangzhou Sabertooth Tigers, which is also the battle between the two teams this season, due to the collision between the two sides and the final battle of the Titan Pandas, so I also waited for the game video to come out before I began to write this game. The two teams belonged to different leagues, with the Tigers struggling to get out of the first round of the Playoffs in the Northern League, and the Sabertooth Tigers failing to squeeze into the PLAYOFFs despite the massive loss of personnel. Although this game was a friendly match, the two sides still played their own characteristics and exposed some shortcomings; in the end, the Tigers, who played at home, won the battle of the box with a 34-18 victory over the visiting saber-toothed tigers with their outstanding performance in the fourth quarter.
【Competition Process】
After the opening, the saber-toothed tiger that attacked first came to range with a steady wave of advance, choosing to shoot in the event of three failed gears. Their ability to play was proven in last season's CNFL finals, with 3 points easily credited. Then the Tigers dropped the ball, and the Sabertooth Tiger grabbed the ball in the opposing half to get a fantastic start, but this time they could not convert in three gears again, and the shot was blocked again, and it was fruitless.
Then the Tigers' attack began to return to normal, and the ace running back Tong Tong once again exerted his power, and several stable punches helped the team move steadily forward. The Tigers' passing attack was also timely, and in the case of a second-gear yard back, they completed a beautiful three-gear long pass, and the No. 57 near-end completed the receiving touchdown, 7-3, the Tigers reversed the score.
However, the Tigers' lead did not last long, and in the next kick-off, they were directly completed by the Sabertooth Tiger No. 10 outside to complete the kick-off and return touchdown, and the extra points were kicked in, 10-7, and the Sabertooth Tiger regained the lead again. The two sides then abandoned kicks for four consecutive times, and although one of the saber-toothed tigers was blocked during this period, the tigers also failed to seize the opportunity. Instead, on a regular offense, their quarterback found the No. 87 receiver to complete the left-hand touchdown, 13-10, and the Tigers once again overtook the score.
The Sabertooth Tigers then began to make frequent mistakes, dropping the ball twice in the next two waves of attacking, and the Tigers failed to complete the advance after changing quarterbacks, and with a free-kick missed, the 13-10 score was maintained into the midfield. However, in the second half, Tong Tong's threat allowed them to get a large number of advances again, he rushed to the front of the end zone 2 yards, and then the running back completed the rushing touchdown, and the Tigers extended the score to 19-10.
Tong Tong has no solution to the ball
However, saber-toothed tigers failed two consecutive four-gear strong hits in the second half, the second time was to return the ball to the opponent on the end zone line, and then there was a interception. Fortunately, the Tigers failed to continue to expand the score, and their passing connection finally found the feeling, completed a long pass in the middle, and the two-point conversion was successful, and the Sabertooth Tiger chased the score to 18-19, only 1 point!
Then a saber-toothed tiger's low kick-off caused an irregular bounce, which brilliantly limited the tiger's return attack, and the tiger also chose to abandon the kick in four gears, but the saber-toothed tiger's old problem recurred, and the fourth gear failed to play hard. This time the Tigers did not leave the opponent with another chance, and Tong Tong directly completed a 65-yard rushing touchdown through Changhong, 26-18, and the Tigers widened the point difference. Then the saber-toothed tiger failed to hit two strong blows, and in the last moments of the game, Tong Tong rushed the ball again, and the two-point conversion was successful, ending the suspense of the game 34-18. As the Tigers completed the fatal interception, the game came to an end.
【Contest Summary】
Since this match is a friendly, let's put the winner and loser aside for the time being. Both sides want to achieve the purpose of training, which can be seen from the process of the Tigers changing 3 quarterbacks in succession, and the team once deliberately reduced the number of times Tong Tong touched the ball in the middle of the game, hoping not to advance through the ace player and give other players the opportunity to practice. However, from the perspective of the game process, the effect is not ideal, especially the passing promotion of the substitute quarterback, which will still become a hidden danger in the process of future team away games.
Compared with the tigers who won the game, the sabertooth tigers exposed the problems even more seriously, with five four-stop strong hits in the second half, plus two shots on goal, that is, 7 or even more faces the fourth gear, and the offensive group is equal to only 1 regular touchdown. The low conversion rate of the three gears is directly related to the instability of the team's passing attack, which will be the top priority of the team's future strengthening.
【Afterword】
The domestic game will come to an end if it is not unexpected, it is estimated that the fastest will be waiting for the Southern Bowl or even the CNFL Spring Games, then it will be March, a two-month gap, if I have time and energy, there will be a series of team 2021 game roundups. I hope you will continue to pay attention to domestic American football events, thank you for your support of domestic events in the past year, and for your support to me, thank you!
