Adrenaline does weird things to consciousness; intense focus is just one of the possible reactions. Much as is the rabbitlike freeze. Some people are (go 'way, Lady Gaga) just born that way. But heavy training can shift that automatic reaction.

Surprise can also be a huge factor in the whole focus thing.

Quite awhile back I posted that I've had four serious encounters with dangerous criminals.
In my case, two were complete surprises, and are pretty blurry. Best summed up with "And then it was over!"
The other two were not really true surprises, and are quite clearly recalled.
