The entire Candlestick Stadium was quiet and solemn, Lu Ke's voice was faintly surging in the court, and the San Francisco 49ers players in front of them were all silent.

"Some of you who just joined the offseason may not know that Ryan Baldwin is just an ordinary nine, but not an ordinary nine. The golden ocean he represents is precisely the reason why we keep fighting! He shows us what the real Nine are! Refuse to give up! Refuse to disarm! Refuse to compromise! Fight tirelessly until the last moment and never admit defeat between burning the last drop of blood! Even in death, we must hold our heads high and raise our chins to meet our end! Absolutely no regrets and regrets will be left behind! ”

"He's been a great season for us! He saw us return to the top of the Super Bowl! He has witnessed our transformation from a dark horse to a strong team! Because he is us, he is a part of the red ocean in front of him, and he is the chemical reaction that makes this red ocean transform into gold! He is the reason why we keep fighting and never give up! ”

"Standing behind us in this vast ocean, cheering for us, shouting for us, crazy for us, even if the whole world is on the opposite side of us, they will never give up on us, always unswervingly become our strongest and strongest backing! But all this, not because we were able to bring victories and championships, but because of our spirit of refusing to give up in the face of any challenges and difficulties! ”

"Because we're nine!"

"It's rugby! But far more than rugby! It's a win! But it was far beyond victory! That's why we're fighting for it! That's why we stand for! That's why we live for it! Here, we represent not only a team, but a soul born and stubbornly grown on this land! As long as the soul is not gone, that sea of red will never disappear! ”

"Ryan Baldwin and I had a pact that we would go to the Super Bowl together, and then we would stand together and defend the title! Now, half of this agreement has been fulfilled, and the rest is generally ...... It fell on our shoulders! ”

"Because of what?"

At this moment, Lu Ke had completely forgotten about his left knee injury, his feet were heavily stepped on the ground, and his green muscles roared at his teammates, and the bloody temperament that burst out of those eyes bloomed with an unprecedented light, and even the vast sea of red in the entire Candlestick Stadium seemed to be eclipsed.

"Because we are!"

Logan closed his eyes tightly, but the surging in his heart could not be suppressed, and now he finally understood:

Why is it just an ordinary regular season, but Lu Ke still goes all out regardless of it; Why Lu Ke is obviously suffering from a left knee injury, but he still refuses to leave the court; Why did Lu Ke burst out with unprecedented determination and firmness after returning to the field; Why did Lu Ke's eyes burst out with tragic perseverance in the last wave of attacks......

Now all the questions have been answered.

"Nine!"

Logan clenched his hands into fists and roared with all his strength in response, all the sadness and all the pain turned into the momentum to move forward, blooming with infinite energy in the roar.

They are nine people, who have never been afraid of hardships and difficulties since their ancestors, and have carved out a paradise of their own on the barren and vast land; They are nine people who never flinch in the face of setbacks and tribulations, but bravely hold their chests high and meet all challenges; They are nine people, and they have indomitable tenacity and perseverance hidden in their bones.

"We are!"

Ankuang-Boulding himself did not expect the surge of emotions to be so fierce and intense.

He doesn't lie, he doesn't know any Ryan Baldwin at all, he hasn't been in contact with or met – of course, the death of any fan is sad, but hearing about a stranger's departure is ultimately impossible to empathize. He hadn't had a perfect season last year, he hadn't spoken to Ryan face-to-face, and all his thoughts were just in the air.

But now, listening to Lu Ke's passionate words, Boulding is faintly beginning to understand.

Understand what happened to this team in the past year, understand the energy that Lu Ke burst out in this game, understand the courage contained in the red sea in front of him, and understand the sadness and enthusiasm behind the Jedi reversal...... More importantly, understand the story behind the slogan "Fight Forever".

Although Boulding only vaguely understood an outline now, he still couldn't help but start to boil at this moment, and when he heard Lu Ke's hoarse roar, he also got carried away and followed Ying He-

"Warrior!"

They are warriors, and they have nothing to do with victory, nothing to do with competition, but nothing to do with life and death, and to fight; They are warriors, and they will give it their all, whether it's in the regular season or the playoffs; They are warriors, burning life to complete each game, blooming life with endless light; They are warriors, and even if they are bruised and scarred, they will fight to the end.

It's not just Logan, it's not just Boulding.

All eyes fell on Lu Ke, those eyes were full of all kinds of intricate emotions, sadness and pain, grief and bitterness, firmness and enthusiasm, sincerity and sincerity, excitement and excitement...... Positive and negative, positive and negative, all emotions are intertwined, mixed tastes, faintly filled with tears, and finally all turned into a roar and roar, venting their emotions heartily.

The same is true for Lu Ke.

"We are!"

"Nine!"

"We are!"

"Warrior!"

The cries one after another, like a cuckoo crying blood, tragic and poignant, the tenacity behind the grief held all the players and coaches together, and their souls also reflected each other at this moment, transforming pain and sadness into motivation to keep moving forward.

Starting today, they will be carrying Ryan Baldwin's dream and promise to defend their title with their heads held high! The road is not destined to be smooth, but they are fearless, and if the storm is destined to come, then let it be more violent!

The chorus of less than 100 people was insignificant compared to the 70,000 fans at the Candlestick Stadium; But the roar reverberated inside the stadium for a long time, conveying those sad and determined emotions, deeply infecting the audience, although they didn't know why, but gradually shouted together.

"We are! Nine people! ”

"We are! Warrior! ”

The opening match has ended, but the cheering of the Candlestick Stadium is still resounding in the sky and will not disperse for a long time!

"Audience friends, this game is over, but now all the fans are gathered together, and more importantly, all the players of the San Francisco 49ers are all gathered together, we don't understand what is happening in front of us for the time being, but what we can see in our eyes now is that San Francisco's quarterback Lu Ke is leading the cheers."

Antoni Tinozzo is still standing in front of the TV, and at the start of the new season, he still stuck to his pub and watched the game live with a group of old guys, instead of going to the Cindelade Stadium to watch the game himself.

He couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand for a while, stepped forward and adjusted the sound of the TV to the maximum, and the laughing bar gradually began to quiet, all eyes were projected to the TV screen, and the voice of the analyst commented was transmitted from the small bar and spread through the streets and alleys.

"We just got the official news that Ryan Baldwin, a loyal fan of the San Francisco 49ers...... Oh...... He is the same fan who lit the golden sea at Candlestick Stadium in the regular season last year, suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and he has been fighting the disease tenaciously, but it is a terminal disease that cannot be cured. At halftime in today's game, Ryan Baldwin officially left the world for good. It's a goodbye. ”

There was no sound in "Joe's Bar", there was a faint roar of cars passing by on the street, and the light wind blew the wind chimes colliding, and even the sound of sewer sewage passing through seemed to be amplified several times, which set off the tranquility more and more, full of sadness and bitterness, all eyes stayed on the big screen, and the world stopped at this moment.

On the street, white-collar workers who were in a hurry suddenly stopped and stared at the big TV screen in the mall; The waiter in the coffee house held the coffee pot in his hand, and stopped in place when he was about to pour coffee for the guests; The young man in the subway tunnel who was about to enter the subway station looked at the cash register of the subway station staff next to him, and his movements froze; The bus driver who was stopping and entering the station also temporarily stepped on the brakes, and everyone in the whole car listened to the sound of the cash register......

The city that went crazy for rugby is now also out of time because of rugby.

Jonathan Baldwin, who was sitting next to the hospital bed waiting for his brother, smiled and looked at the white-clothed figure next to him, as if he were ...... It was as if he had fallen asleep peacefully, just asleep.

"Ryan. Did you hear that? Ryan, Ryan! Jonathan called in a low voice, but as he read it, he completely collapsed without warning, and called out in tears," Ryan ...... Wake up, Ryan, wake up, do you hear me? We won, we won again! Did you hear that? Bambi ...... Bambi ...... Bambi said, this victory is for you, do you hear me? ”

Jonathan's whole body was completely shattered, and he sat in place, howling and crying, as if he had been abandoned in a corner by the whole world, crying so fiercely and so violently that his whole heart curled up, and he could barely breathe.

Ryan, you damn thing, do you hear me?
