Moss never thought that he would come back again, let alone that he would really be on the Super Bowl championship stage after his comeback, and he still remembers the excitement and excitement at the moment when his dream was realized.

What Moss didn't expect was that what he missed most was not the championship ring itself, but the ups and downs of Super Bowl night. No one believed they would be able to pull off the victory, but they held each other together and pulled off one of the most amazing comebacks in history.

Turning around and looking at the comrades standing beside him, the familiar or unfamiliar faces, the happy or touched expressions, Moss really realized the meaning of this Super Bowl and the weight behind the sixteen wins of the season.

He loved the sport more than ever before, not because the spotlight was shining on him, but because they had walked the journey together.

Now, he finally has no regrets.

He's finally able to leave the pitch without any attachment – he's been to the top, he's won championships, he's got infamy, he's enjoying the light, he's got his comrades...... That's enough, as for whether the number of champions is one or two, and whether the league history is ten or twenty, everything is no longer important, because here he has created his own legend and left his footprints.

It's time to say goodbye.

The decision to retire again, and at the same time officially retire, to say goodbye forever, is Moss's decision alone. He is ready to start a new life, farewell to this battlefield that he has fought all his life, farewell to those comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side with him, farewell to the only familiar way of life in his life, and look for a second life.

Despite repeated advice from his agent, Moss made his decision.

Moss didn't tell anyone, he was ready to leave quietly like this, not because he didn't care about these teammates, but because the parting was too sad, he didn't want to see his mother-in-law's mother-in-law, and turned around in a chic way to leave a back, this is his usual style, isn't it?

But Moss still decided to tell Lu Ke. The first and only one. There was no particular reason, just that he felt he needed to do it.

That's a lot of fun, isn't it?

He likes Brady, but he won't be Brady's friend; He hated Lu Ke, but he cherished this friendship very much. He will never forget the team bus that left the Mercedes-Benz Super Dome, the home of New Orleans, the young-faced teenager roared at himself:

"Do you know why you can't get the Super Bowl? Because you're always playing against other people, against opponents, with the media, with coaches, with teammates, you're always living in your own world. ”

How cruel and how direct, mercilessly broke his last line of defence; However, how youthful and flamboyant it was, it rekindled the flame of hope in his heart, made him truly understand the meaning of rugby for the first time, and let him really start to enjoy the beauty of rugby for the first time!

It wasn't until he was thirty-six years old, in his second retirement, that Moss really began to fall in love with the pitch.

Moss said lightly, "I'm thirty-six now, it's time to rest and find a second life." ”

Lu Ke could feel the faint sadness and bitterness hidden in the words. Parting is always embarrassing, although he and Moss have never been real friends, but in just one season, Moss has become a special presence in his career - without Moss, Lu Ke would not have been able to grow into a locker room leader so quickly; If there is no Moss, Lu Ke will not be able to really take over the leadership of the entire team.

They are indeed not friends, but Lu Ke is still reluctant.

From John Ward to Randy Moss, Lu Ke understands the reality and cruelty of competitive sports, and he himself was almost faced with the choice of retirement, but this does not mean that parting will be easy and simple. Because deep down, Lu Ke has never regarded rugby as a profession, but a dream and a belief.

This is somewhat idealistic and unrealistic; But it is precisely because of love and care that it is so willing. The fight is endless, and this is definitely not just a slogan.

Exhaling lightly, Lu Ke still showed a smile, "I just started to like you, I didn't expect it, I'm going to say goodbye now." ”

Moss, however, didn't buy it at all, and said bluntly, "Don't worry, I still don't like you right now." So, my departure should be a good thing for both parties. This made both of them laugh heartily at the same time.

Lu Ke nodded in agreement, "So, have you decided on your next plan?" Do you have any other plans after training and competitions? ”

Moss waved his hand and refused to answer, "Our relationship is not close enough yet. I know it's all polite words, but I guess it's awkward to stand here and talk about topics you don't care about and don't care about. ”

Lu Ke spread his hands, "I can't refute it." After a pause, "Or, let's train a little more?" On this field, experience the feeling of running again? ”

"Okay." Without any hesitation, Moss blurted out directly. When he realized that he had said it rashly, he couldn't help but freeze in place.

Training?

Moss realized the ridiculousness and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but this time, Moss didn't resist training again, and this was his last training session.

Lu Ke didn't give Moss time and space to refuse, turned around and walked to the side of the rope ladder again, ready to continue the mobile passing training he had just had; Moss didn't continue to squirm, took off his coat, ran out of the back, and asked in a loud voice, "Running passing, are you going to practice stability or explosiveness?" ”

"Stability."

"Then let's practice the middle pass, the route can be a little more complicated, and then the position of the area pass is a little more fine, and the moment the pass is shot, pay attention to the observation of the whole space."

Because when the quarterback needs to run, it also largely means that the pocket is torn, and the quarterback is exposed to the defender's field of vision; So while the quarterback passes the ball, he must also watch and listen to all directions -

This is also a very special competitive ability, keeping the attention straight ahead, keeping the eye in front of the eye but being able to grasp the movement of the scene, which is a must-have ability for the top linebacker; And for quarterbacks, it's less important in pocket protection for offensive fronts. It's just that now Lu Ke is practicing mobile passing, so he must improve his dual-purpose ability.

Lu Ke nodded to Moss, indicating that he understood, and then officially entered the training.

This is a complete training session, although there are only two people, Lu Ke and Moss, but the permutations and combinations of different running routes, and the detailed control of different tactical areas, make the training content of mobile passing fuller. During the move, the quarterback's passing accuracy will inevitably suffer; And now it is necessary to find passing targets and pay attention to the dynamics on both sides, and the requirements for the ability of the quarterback are even higher, and Lu Ke does not dare to slack off at all.

After the full forty minutes of training session, whether it was Lu Ke or Moss, both of them were sweating profusely and panting like cows.

Moss simply lay on the grass, like a high school student, in a large font, looking at the blue and deep sky above Los Angeles's head, his hot muscles were trembling slightly, a little tired, but more excited, but this was not a game but a training. He still hates training.

"Could it be that I came to the university, just like a college student, after the hard training, I just lay down regardless of it." Lu Ke walked over and stretched out his right hand.

Moss grabbed Lu Ke's right hand and stood up with his strength, "I'm just expressing my protest. I don't like training, and you're just so serious, are you sure you're not retaliating? ”

Lu Ke laughed happily, "Oops, I was discovered." ”

Moss was just joking, but he didn't expect Lu Ke to really admit it, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his smile bloomed wantonly.

"Need help me clean up?" Moss asked.

"No need, the other training guys will come over later, they just look at the top three drafts. Today's training hasn't started yet. Lu Ke opened his mouth to explain.

Moss nodded his head in understanding, "Then I'll leave first." I don't have anything else to do today, so now I go back and maybe look at the second half of the first-round draft. ”

After speaking, Moss waved his hand at Lu Ke, turned around without any pause, and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he turned around and took a step, the thick reluctance suddenly exploded, and his nose began to be faintly sour, and his steps became heavy.

That's the end.

That's the end.

This is the end of his rugby life, those joys and sorrows, those happiness and pain, those victories and injuries, those laughter and tears, positive and negative, all left on this green field, and he will officially say goodbye to the first half of his life.

Attachment and reluctance make the vision blurry, and it is really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Moss turned his back to Lu Ke and did not reveal his panic. He quietly straightened his back, did not wipe the hazy tears from his eyes, and strode forward.

"Goodbye, rugby!"

Lu Ke stood in place like this, quietly watching the back of Moss leaving, under the rising sun, Moss's figure pulled out a long shadow on the court, like a giant, standing up to the sky and filling the entire stadium: that man has created countless glories here, and those glories will remain here forever, forever!
