1211 The Pride of Heaven
"Logan! Hey Logan, how about 25 touchdowns this year? ”
"Justin, welcome back! We still believe in you this year! ”
"Andy Andy Andy! Andy Andy Andy! ”
The cacophony of shouts and cheers rang out over Candlestick Park, and even the rookies who had just joined the team through the draft could hear their names, and die-hard fans couldn't wait to get to know them and become an important part of the team this season.
Near the entrance to the stadium, a bright golden banner can be seen, saying, "Captain Bambi, welcome to the new season!" Stormy! Rough! We swear to follow! ”
With such special treatment, there is only one semicolon in the whole team. Obviously, in terms of popularity alone, there is indeed no one who can compare with Lu Ke now. All the fans are expressing their excitement and enthusiasm in different ways, thanking the young quarterback for leading them back to the top and staying steadfast in San Francisco.
Since Lu Ke renewed his contract with the team, all nine have shown unprecedented unity, and the rugby city, which once had a supreme glory and a long tradition, is finally feeling the enthusiasm and madness of rugby, and the preseason and regular season are still very far away, but the fans can't wait to start opening their arms for the new season.
Saying goodbye to the little navigator just now, Lu Ke put the pink bicycle next to him, and there was a joking voice behind him, "It seems that you are the most suitable for pink." "You don't have to look to know it's Joe Stanley.
Lu Ke straightened up and greeted Stanley with a smile, "What, envy?" ”
joking for joking, the other teammates around him immediately looked at Stanley with a giggle and began to coax, "Does Big Joe particularly like pink?" But I'm not very suitable, so what can I do? Pink Big Joe! Pink Big Joe! Pink Big Joe! ”
Stanley, who was passive in an instant, didn't mind, spread his hands, and shook his head at everyone, "You must be jealous, jealous of Bambi is better than having a special relationship with me." I'll tell you, I had a date with Bambi tonight, and you weren't allowed to attend, aren't you even more jealous now? ”
"Get out. Obviously, the entire offensive front line was invited to Bambi's house for a barbecue party, don't talk as if you have a private date with Bambi, be careful that Sugar Candy comes to you directly brandishing a nine-meter broadsword! Alex Boone ruthlessly dismantled Stanley's diorama, and the scene was even more noisy.
Last season, Joe Stanley flourished as an offensive tackle on the left side, while Alex Boone replaced the void left by Stanley as an offensive tackle on the right. Surprisingly, Boone performed very well, and despite not making the Pro Bowl or the All-American First or Second Team, Boone was voted one of the "Top 10 Most Underrated Players" by ESPN, believing that he was far ahead of the San Francisco team in terms of value for money, and at the same time the biggest jewel of not being selected for the Pro Bowl.
This season, Boone has managed to stay in the team as well, sticking to his starting position.
"Bambi, it's not fair, how come there's only an attacking front, what about us?"
"That's it, we're going to a barbecue party too!"
"Bambi is eccentric, and he opens a small stove for the offensive forward line alone, alas, we are pitiful, no one cares."
The coaxing returned to Lu Ke in a blink of an eye, Lu Ke hugged and punched his teammates to say hello, and responded with a smile, "Why, you don't like that you don't have enough training?" Then tonight is absolutely welcome, I welcome with my hands raised. You know, I'm the most hospitable. How about the party pack with video replay and tactical meeting, everyone is welcome to join in! ”
The enthusiastic appearance suddenly made everyone's faces change: Lu Ke's devil training, who else in the team doesn't know now?
Only fools fall into their own traps.
"I think it's better to forget it, how can we meddle in the meeting between Bambi and the striker."
"That's it, let's wait until next time. Next time! ”
Everyone looked like they were afraid to avoid it, which made Lu Ke laugh happily, and then saw Patrick Willis helpless in front of him.
Willis slapped Lu Ke's shoulder, "Okay now, everyone is starting to be afraid of you, what will you do in the future?" ”
"Wouldn't it be easier?" Lu Ke was also calm, and then he showed a suffocating expression, "It's a pity that I still don't know much about the tactics of the defensive group, let alone training, otherwise my teammates in the defensive group can also sit down and exchange feelings." ”
Even Willis widened his eyes, and waved his hand again and again to refuse, lest his words be a little slower, and he would be caught by Lu Ke in the training camp, "You training maniac, I don't want to train with you." You didn't hear it, Logan was still complaining just now, your offseason training was really horrible. ”
Lu Ke bowed his head lightly and said seriously, "I still have the energy to complain, it seems that the intensity of the training camp is still not enough, and I will increase the amount in the next month." ”
Even though he knew that Lu Ke was joking, Willis couldn't help but shudder and raised his hands to surrender, "My only wish is that for the sake of my old bones, I'll forget it." That look also made Lu Ke laugh, "By the way, have you heard about Aldon?" ”
"Aldon?" Lu Ke blinked.
Willis sighed lightly, "It's drunk driving again." If you are absent from training camp today, you will be able to report tomorrow. ”
Needless to say, Aldon Smith is one of the most gifted linebackers in the entire league, and his rookie season has been on par with von Miller, ** Watt and others, and has attracted much attention; In his sophomore year, he was not only selected for the Pro Bowl and the National First Team, but also voted the "Team MVP" by the team, which is the best recognition of his performance.
It is now widely believed that in time Aldon has the potential to become another legend. But this seems to be an eternal law, talent is directly proportional to temper, the higher the talent, the more violent the temper, the more arrogant. That's true of Randy Moss, and so is Aldon Smith.
You can feel Aldon's impetuousness and beating in his rookie season, last offseason, Lu Ke invited Aldon to participate in his training, although he said yes, but in fact disappeared without a trace, and later Aldon made sports headlines for drunk driving.
The conflict that erupted in the away locker room in New Orleans during the regular season was also directly related to Aldon.
This offseason, Lu Ke invited Aldon to practice again, but Aldon, who had a full-blown sophomore season, simply declined, and he went on vacation to sunny Miami and was enjoying his Super Bowl vacation. Unexpectedly, when I heard the news again in the new season, it was actually drunk driving again.
That's how the pride of heaven is.
They have everything, and they have it easily, they only need to put in a little effort to achieve ten times or even a hundred times the harvest of others, and it seems that they are destined to stand at the top and look down on all beings, and those applause and cheers cannot satisfy them, which makes it difficult for them to maintain down-to-earth humility.
It's not absolute, but it's probably possible.
Lu Ke's brows furrowed slightly, drunk driving is very, very dangerous, this is a situation that must be avoided with all his might; But the problem exposed behind the continuous drunk driving is the lack of self-control, which is a time bomb for professional players, which can detonate at any time and then create irreparable consequences.
"Bambi......" Willis said but stopped.
Lu Ke immediately understood, "I'll talk to him." ”
Willis is 28 years old, he is the captain of the team's defensive team, and many times he is like a brother, taking care of all aspects of the team, talking less and doing more. This is true for Lu Ke, and it is also true for Aldon.
He knew that Alton had the ability to achieve the pinnacle, and he sincerely hoped that Aldon could create a career in San Francisco; But he is a stupid person, even if he wants to advise Aldon, he doesn't know how to start, and if he lets it go, Aldon may be so unfamiliar to everyone. The reality is brutal, and so is the professional league.
Therefore, he still hopes that Lu Ke can help, after all, Lu Ke and Aldon have been friends since the rookie training camp.
Lu Ke did not refuse. Although Aldon is a member of the defensive team, it is one of his responsibilities as captain.
Willis didn't say anything more and patted Lu Ke on the shoulder. That's enough.
Raising his head, Lu Ke looked at the training ground, it was still early at this time, and the rookie players came to the venue early, hoping to leave a good impression on the head coach, so there were not so many familiar faces, and while welcoming the new season, they also welcomed a new beginning. In the midst of an unfamiliar laughter, Randy Moss, Kyle Williams, Dashan Goldson, Michael Crabtree, and Aldon Smith came to mind...... They weren't able to show up for the first day of camp for a variety of reasons, and their emotions couldn't help but be a little mixed.
Thinking back to his offseason contract extension process, Lu Ke can't help but wonder what it would be like if one day, he – or Logan and Marcus – were about to leave San Francisco to continue their careers with other teams.
"Hey, Bambi!"
There was a light-hearted cheer behind him, Lu Ke turned around, and then saw David Akens, holding the hands of his two sons, Luke and Sawyer, appeared at the entrance, the shadows cast by the buildings faded little by little, and his figure gradually became clear under the light.
Sawyer was the first to break free of his father's right hand, and rushed towards Lu Ke at a trott, with a bright smile on his face, and even the smile on the corner of Lu Ke's mouth also rose.
