As a player currently standing at the top of the NFL pyramid, Lu Ke has become a banner, a signboard and a symbol of the entire league, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the image spokesperson.

As the "Spider-Man" movie said, with great ability comes heavy responsibility, and the same is true for Lu Ke now. This time to participate in the London Bowl, the league officially arranged a series of publicity activities, hoping that Lu Ke can undertake more publicity tasks outside the game; Not only the alliance, but the brand that Lu Ke signed the endorsement agreement also arranged some public relations activities, hoping that Lu Ke could attend.

In this regard, the team manager of the San Francisco 49ers, Trent Balke, and head coach Jim Hubble both expressed strong dissatisfaction - if Lu Ke's off-court activities are too much, which affects the training adjustment, affects the state of the game, and loses the game, it will be more than worth the loss; And if you suffer further injuries, it will definitely be too late to regret it.

But how could Roger Goodale miss such a godsend?

Roger Goodale personally completed a phone call with Jade York, president of the San Francisco 49ers, and then further persuaded Trent Balk to arrange the official publicity campaign; And Hubble's unilateral opposition has not been effective, and he can only sulk at himself.

The only fortunate thing is that Lu Ke is a player with super self-discipline, and he doesn't need to worry too much about Hubble, he should know how to protect himself and adjust his training.

In the end, it was Lech Steinberg who came out, and after coordination and consultation, the league and sponsors' activities were arranged for the first two days as much as possible, and then all the time was given to the team, ensuring that Lu Ke had enough time to complete the recovery and adjustment, and prepare for this week's London Bowl -

The league and sponsors are also expecting Lu Ke to deliver a good matchup, preferably a victory, so that the London Bowl can be "worth the ticket price".

So, during the entire flight from San Francisco to London, Lu Ke was sleeping. It just so happened that the flight took off late at night, and the flight time was during the rest and sleep period in San Francisco, which allowed Lu Ke to get enough rest. After arriving in London, the fatigue of the long flight was slightly affected, but the effect of jet lag was still not obvious, and the mental state was good.

Now, his teammates are ready to relax and rest, while Lu Ke is ready to work.

At this time, Lu Ke sat in the car officially dispatched by the alliance to the event site. There was also a small episode about the car -

The official car dispatched by the league is Hyundai, because the NFL also has its own official sponsors, the car is Hyundai, and the truck is Ford, which are all brands that have signed official cooperation agreements, so the alliance activities naturally need to support its own brands; But Lu Ke's personal sponsor is Mercedes-Benz, and Mercedes-Benz apparently hopes that Lu Ke will be able to get his own car to the event.

In response, the coalition refused to budge, claiming that it was an alliance activity and that they could not compromise.

And Mercedes-Benz also performed toughly, they don't think this is an official event of the alliance - because there were no guests scheduled for this event, the alliance took into account Lu Ke's market influence, and then launched an invitation, the two sides did not sign an event agreement at all, attendance is an obligation, refusal is a right, even if Lu Ke refuses to attend, the alliance cannot enforce it.

The alliance is also a headache. Roger Goodale is naturally reluctant to back down, because Hyundai is also an official sponsor, and they need to be responsible for their own sponsors, which has legal effect.

It was Lech who completed the intermediary. I don't know how he persuaded Mercedes-Benz to complete the exchange of interests in the middle; But in the end, the league issued an official invitation to Lu Ke from an official position, and invited Jackson Jaguars quarterback Brian Gabott to turn the event into an official event for the London Bowl.

The confrontation of interests in the whole process is completely invisible, which proves a fact: now there are more and more interests maintained on Lu Ke, and there will be more and more details and terms that everyone is fighting for, and similar episodes are bound to continue to increase in the future.

But these problems have all been dealt with in advance, and Lu Ke only needs to arrive at the scene on time to participate in the event.

The car slowly began to slow down, Lu Ke sat up straight, and asked, "Have you arrived at the scene?" ”

The driver's voice came from the driver's seat, "No, we still have four blocks, but now that we've reached the traffic control area, we may be slower in the next step." ”

"Traffic control?" Lu Ke couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

The driver was not surprised, and there was a smile in his voice, "For this London Bowl, the NFL has begun to promote it since the new season schedule came out, and it has been paved for more than half a year, and the whole city is looking forward to this game." Next, you can see for yourself how much of a mania we have for sports. ”

Thinking back to the pick-up frenzy at Heathrow Airport, Lu Ke was also relieved.

Despite this, when the car slowly entered the Trafalgar Square area, the sea of people in front of him made Lu Ke show a surprised look again.

Everybody, everybody.

Every inch of the open space in the field of vision was filled with people. In the reception hall of Heathrow Airport, because of the limited space, all the crowds gathered together, and it seemed that the palm-sized square inch was filled with crowds, and the dense scene created a suffocating sense of oppression, and the sense of heavy hammer in the face was breathless.

And above Trafalgar Square, the whole open and empty space, let the dense and turbulent crowd spread out in a majestic way, bustling towards the direction of the buildings and parks at the end of the line of sight, majestically outlined under the gray sky of London thrilling, like a heavy ink painting, instantly swaying all the charm and momentum are released, the magnificent atmosphere creates a kind of domineering spirit that points to the country.

A thousand? Five thousand? 10,000 people?

At this time, I couldn't help but fall into a state of disorientation, and I couldn't make a judgment at all, and my vision was completely filled with a sea of people, and I only felt that all the inhabitants of the whole of London seemed to have gathered here.

"Wow." Lu Ke couldn't help but let out an exclamation, even with his imagination, he didn't expect that a storm was going on in the center of London, and he was in the eye of the storm, witnessing such a miracle happening, and now he finally understood why traffic control was needed.

Such a scene, I am afraid that even the alliance did not expect.

Opening the car door, Lu Ke saw the red carpet unfolding in front of him at a glance, and couldn't help but laugh happily, "I didn't expect my second red carpet trip to be so fast, I thought it might have to wait until my wedding ceremony." ”

joked, and then Lu Ke got out of the car.

The vast sea of people in the audience came into view, and the voices calling for "Bambi" came and went, roaring and screaming, screaming and screaming, so that the syllables themselves lost their meaning and could not be recognized, and only the onomatopoeia of "Bam" was stirring, and the scene unintentionally formed a sound of drumming and thunder.

"BAM!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The drumbeat began to hit the heart and eardrums violently, stirring up wave after wave of shocking ripples, and the blood began to bubble and boil, as if the magma was rushing and burning.

Lu Ke was still not used to such an occasion, he raised his hands high, waved to the fans on both sides, and trotted all the way into the middle of Trafalgar Square, like ants entering the territory of an elephant herd, the stark contrast between small and magnificent was so turbulent that the fierce sound of blood churning could be heard in his ears.

In the middle of the crowd of people, a football field was built - not a rugby field, but a football field, surrounded by the city's high-rise buildings, the green artificial turf revealed a burst of greenery, and even the gray London sky seemed to be a little brighter.

Then, Lu Ke saw Gabot standing on top of the artificial turf.

Obviously, Gabot was also a little uncomfortable with such a grand occasion, he raised his right hand from time to time and waved to the fans around him, but the movement was too stiff and too jerky, it looked as if there was a spirit behind him directing his movements, and the completely unnatural movement had a sense of joy.

Turning around, Gabot saw Lu Ke, and he could clearly perceive that he was relieved.

When Lu Ke stepped forward to say hello, he could see Gabot who was sweating profusely in late autumn, his embarrassed appearance really made people laugh, Gabot wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said happily, "You finally appeared." I'm standing here alone, and I'm really a little overwhelmed. ”

Lu Ke laughed directly, "What, isn't there an event host?" Even with me, it's just as weird for the two of us to stand here stupidly, right? Lu Ke turned his head left and right, there were many staff members gathered around, and there were many cameras, I don't know if it was recorded by the TV station or broadcast on the Internet.

His gaze finally fell on Gabot - he was constantly wiping his sweat, it was really sweating like rain, Gabot noticed Lu Ke's gaze, shrugged his shoulders, and said that he didn't know much about the situation either.

The two of them were abandoned at the site as if they were orphans.

Lu Ke was searching among the staff, wanting to ask what was going on, something wasn't right, right?

But without waiting for Lu Ke to take a step, the crowd around him began to surge again, cheers and noises were transmitted from far and near, and Lu Ke and Gabot exchanged a line of sight:

Could there be any other guests? Or is the host on the scene?

Faintly, you can hear the enthusiastic and crazy shouts of the fans at the scene, stacked layer by layer, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a high / tide, and the sound seems to be ......

"David! David! David! ”8)
