NFL 顧問厄尼亞當斯表示，49 人隊的加時賽賭博適得其反

Bill Belichick 的長期顧問 Ernie Adams 認為，舊金山 49 人隊在第 57 屆超級碗比賽中在贏得加時賽投硬幣後選擇拿球，這是一個錯誤的決定。亞當斯主張先踢，認為這提供了一個明確的目標，使教練能夠調整他們的比賽策略並保持對比賽流程的控制。相反，舊金山隊主教練凱爾·沙納漢根據分析證明了這一決定的合理性，承認這是一場以投籃為導向的比賽，並且防守在加時賽前進行了長時間的進攻。

San Francisco 49ers' Overtime Gamble Backfires, Ernie Adams Declares

厄尼亞當斯 (Ernie Adams) 表示，舊金山 49 人隊的加時賽賭博適得其反

In the aftermath of the Super Bowl LVII thriller, veteran NFL advisor Ernie Adams has unequivocally asserted that the San Francisco 49ers made a grave tactical error by opting to receive the ball first in overtime, a decision that ultimately precipitated their 25-22 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs.

在第五十七屆超級盃驚悚片結束後，美國國家美式足球聯盟(NFL) 資深顧問厄尼·亞當斯(Ernie Adams) 明確表示，舊金山49 人隊在加時賽中選擇先接球犯了一個嚴重的戰術錯誤，這一決定最終導致他們以25-22 輸給了美國國家橄欖球聯盟(NFL) 隊。堪薩斯城酋長隊。

Adams, a trusted confidant of legendary New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and a key contributor to the team's six Super Bowl triumphs, minced no words in his critique during an appearance on former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman's "Games With Names" podcast.

亞當斯是新英格蘭愛國者隊傳奇主教練比爾·貝利切克值得信賴的知己，也是該隊六次奪得超級碗冠軍的關鍵貢獻者，他在前愛國者隊外接手朱利安·埃德爾曼的“Games With Names”播客中直言不諱地提出了批評。

"The right call, for the first time in NFL history, was to kick off," Adams stated emphatically. "You know what you need, and you're in four-down territory the entire time. If it comes down to fourth down, you go for it. This changes your play-calling strategy on first, second, and third down."

「開球是 NFL 歷史上的第一次，」亞當斯強調。 「你知道自己需要什麼，而且你一直處於四檔區域。如果你降到第四檔，你就去爭取。這會改變你在第一檔、第二檔和第三檔的比賽策略。”

Adams' reasoning is rooted in the understanding that controlling the ball second in overtime guarantees knowledge of the exact outcome required. The 49ers, however, despite scoring first after taking possession, could only muster a field goal when quarterback Brock Purdy's pass fell incomplete. This tactical misstep left the door open for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes to orchestrate a game-winning drive.

亞當斯的推理植根於這樣的理解：在加時賽中控制第二個球可以保證了解所需的確切結果。然而，49人隊儘管在控球後率先得分，但在四分衛布洛克·珀迪的傳球未完成時只能投籃得分。這一戰術失誤為酋長隊四分衛帕特里克·馬霍姆斯創造了贏得比賽的機會。

"I'd rather have the ball second so I know what I need," Adams reiterated.

「我寧願把球放在第二位，這樣我知道我需要什麼，」亞當斯重申。

Despite the 49ers' defensive prowess throughout the game, they were unable to prevent the Chiefs from converting a crucial fourth-and-one and a third-and-six on the decisive drive. Mahomes capped off the drive with a wide-open three-yard touchdown pass to little-known wide receiver Mecole Hardman, effectively sealing the 49ers' fate.

儘管49人隊在整場比賽中防守出色，但他們無法阻止酋長隊在決定性的進攻中完成關鍵的四分一分和三分六分。馬霍姆斯以一記大空位三碼達陣傳球給鮮為人知的外接手梅科爾·哈德曼(Mecole Hardman)，有效地鎖定了 49 人隊的命運。

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan defended his decision to receive the ball first, citing the defense's extended time on the field prior to overtime. He also emphasized the role of analytics in shaping his decision-making process.

49人隊主教練凱爾·沙納漢為自己先接球的決定進行了辯護，理由是防守隊員在加時賽前延長了在場時間。他也強調了分析在決策過程中的作用。

"I don't think that changes anything. We did it with our analytics department. Going into the playoffs, you know how I've explained how I make decisions with that stuff," Shanahan told reporters after the game.

「我認為這不會改變任何事情。我們和我們的分析部門一起做到了這一點。進入季後賽，你知道我是如何解釋我如何用這些東西做出決定的，」沙納漢賽後告訴記者。

However, Adams remains steadfast in his belief that the 49ers' decision was a tactical blunder. "It seemed more like a field goal game," Shanahan acknowledged, "and our defense had been out there for a real long time right before that." Nonetheless, Adams argues that these factors should not have overridden the strategic imperative of controlling the ball second in overtime.

然而，亞當斯仍然堅信 49 人隊的決定是一個戰術錯誤。 “這看起來更像是一場射門比賽，”沙納漢承認，“而我們的防守在那之前已經有很長一段時間了。”儘管如此，亞當斯認為這些因素不應該凌駕於加時賽第二控球的戰略必要性之上。

The Super Bowl LVII overtime coin toss has sparked a heated debate among NFL experts and fans alike. While Shanahan has defended his decision, the prevailing consensus is that Adams' perspective carries significant weight given his unparalleled experience and success at the highest level of football. The tactical ramifications of the 49ers' choice will undoubtedly be analyzed and dissected for years to come, serving as a cautionary tale for teams facing similar decisions in the future.

第十七屆超級盃加時賽的拋硬幣引發了 NFL 專家和球迷的激烈爭論。雖然沙納漢為自己的決定進行了辯護，但普遍的共識是，鑑於亞當斯在足球最高水平上無與倫比的經驗和成功，他的觀點具有重要意義。 49人隊這項選擇的戰術後果無疑將在未來幾年得到分析和剖析，為未來面臨類似決定的球隊提供一個警示。
