Chapter 1106: 1105 The So-Called Cheating
Motion, this tactic has long been thoroughly researched in the NFL, and the defensive group can completely respond without exposing their own tactical intentions, with more than just one or two methods.
However, this season, the Kansas City Chiefs have reversed the situation with a new version of Motion, sweeping the league like a tornado—
This sweeping refers to all thirty-two teams adopting this tactic.
But so far, no team has been able to use it as freely and wonderfully as the Kansas City Chiefs, creating the effect of a cheat device.
The truly amazing part is that the Kansas City Chiefs do not rely on this tactic, as they do not use it very frequently, showcasing the team’s rich and varied offensive tactical system.
Tonight, Mahomes unexpectedly left the field due to an injury, and Moore took charge of the team in a critical moment; yet the Kansas City Chiefs still did not rashly use the cheat device.
In the eyes of commentators, the reason is very straightforward: Moore wasn’t ready.
The core of the "Cheating Motion" lies in timing control and passing accuracy.
It seems simple, but in reality, it is meticulous and precise, like gears; even a minor misalignment could lead to complete failure.
Or even total collapse.
Until now.
In the Shotgun Formation, Li Wei moved, leaving the pocket for a horizontal move.
"Motion," begins.
In an instant, the Green Bay Packers were on full alert as Lafleur had just adjusted the tactics, trying to eliminate Li Wei as a key power source via a blitz; however, Li Wei initiated Motion, forcing the defensive group to move and follow along reluctantly and clumsily.
Linebacker Smith follows.
Linebacker Martinez follows.
Even the cornerback Kevin King, who was lined up against Kelsey, is fully tense.
An action that affects everything.
Just Li Wei has exposed the entire defensive strategy of the Green Bay Packers.
However, Martinez is speeding up.
Step by step, shadowing closely.
Since the defensive group has exposed their tactics, adjusting it now is too late, which means they can only do their best within their tactical framework and utilize their abilities to hopefully complete the confrontation.
After the "Cheating Motion" made its debut, almost all teams have been contemplating countermeasures, including the Kansas City Chiefs themselves.
Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs defense is also becoming a study subject for other teams.
The Kansas City Chiefs use a typical zone defense; once "Motion" appears, they rely on the internal player role switches within the defense to complete the defensive substitution—
For example, linebacker Higgins initially marks the opposing running back. When the running back starts the Motion, Higgins does follow, but upon reaching a certain position, he hands it over to cornerback Fowler to continue the cover, and Higgins then takes over Fowler’s original matchup.
Meanwhile, they rely on a step-up from the safety to complete the zone defense.
Theory wise, it’s already not easy, because it heavily tests the team’s coordination and their understanding of offensive tactical variations; practically applying it, the difficulty could exponentially rise tenfold or hundredfold.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ advantage lies firstly in their offensive group, which has the top-tier "Cheating Motion" configuration that no other team’s offensive group in the league can exploit their tactics to such a full extent.
Secondly, through over half a year’s practice against top-level offensive setups, their defense players have a timely and accurate reaction to "Cheating Motion," which naturally yields a higher defensive success rate than other teams.
Moreover, "Cheating Motion" is prefixed with "cheating" because it is almost indefensible.
At this moment, Martinez is defending according to his understanding.
In Martinez’s vision, Smith is approaching the frontline, following Li Wei step by step, but the cornerback Kevin King is on Smith’s moving path. If Li Wei crosses Kevin King’s position, he can break through the outer sideline.
Thus, Martinez moved ahead, even before Li Wei, circling past Kevin King’s position to intercept on the outer sideline line.
Then, as if waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Li Wei to crash into the door.
All this happened in a flash.
Li Wei is moving, Smith is moving, and Martinez is rushing.
Timing is everything, and everyone is trying to seize the moment to take the initiative, but among the three weaving between the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers players, only one can succeed.
That person is—
Li Wei.
As Li Wei reached behind Kelsey, he braked, controlling his footsteps.
Both Smith and Martinez were startled, with Smith braking and Martinez accelerating.
"Attack!"
Moore announced the snap.
The next second, Li Wei moved again, his steps light and agile, brushing past behind Kelsey as lightly as smoke, darting straight out.
This time, however, Li Wei did not break through from Kelsey’s right side but instead from the left inner side.
Martinez: ??? You tricked me!
Smith was equally taken aback, the breath catching in his throat, sharply stopping and turning, just as Kevin King, rushing to prove himself, also followed, crashing together.
Smith: What’s this self-destructive behavior?
Li Wei’s figure was nimble and quick, leaping over Smith and Kevin King in the blink of an eye, darting through the slot.
Three yards. Five yards.
Li Wei had barely rushed out five yards from the snap line before he turned, akin to a rhinoceros staring at the moon.
Moore: Opportunity.
A flick of the arm, sending a clean and swift pass, not only concise but also rapid, a direct pass threading through the crowd.
The Green Bay Packers defensive front was dumbfounded, thinking Li Wei would break through via the sideline but a connection happened right above them.
However, Martinez did not give up.
With a hold of his breath, neither discouraged nor dejected nor surrendering, stopping sharply and turning quickly, returning along a horizontal line with all his might towards that figure.
Closer, and closer.
Martinez watched as Li Wei controlled the football, took a deep breath, and before adjusting his steps, lunged straight towards him.
However, snap.
Martinez felt a massive force cut off his step abruptly, watching as Li Wei smoothly adjusted himself and dashed away just two steps out of reach.
A split second later, Martinez felt the overwhelming force pour over him, and then saw clearly.
Kelsey?
Kelsey!
How could Kelsey break away from the cornerback’s marking to step up and block?
Darn!
But it was all too late; Martinez watched as the red shadow streaked past his fingertips and dashed away. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ
Martinez then felt the pull of gravity, collapsing with a thud, and as his body fell downward, so did his heart, plunging into an undefeatable abyss.
Martinez had only one thought in his mind: Cheating, this is cheating, the league should strictly forbid it!
Green Bay Packers’ backfield was in pandemonium, an atmosphere akin to facing a major enemy.
Sanechi charged head-on, sprinting at full speed.
Amos was also stepping up, trying to close in.
"Two VS one," meanwhile, linebackers and cornerbacks from behind were still in hot pursuit, like a cat-and-mouse chase, collectively besieging just one player, Li Wei.
