“27：0”。

When the referee blows the whistle at the end of the first half, this is the half-time score, the home team in front, the away team in the back,

For the San Francisco 49ers, this was a complete disaster.

For the first time this season, the attacking group, which was full of firepower and demand, was shaved in the first half, did not score a point, did not touch down and did not take a free kick, and seemed to be back in front of the release/release overnight; And the defensive group, which has risen strongly this season and has been comprehensively upgraded, is also wandering and helpless, watching the opponent sprint back and forth in their own half.

If they want to shirk their responsibilities, they can find a number of reasons:

The impact of bad weather is really too great, and Gillette Field deserves to be the famous devil's home stadium in the league; Bilicek's targeted tactical layout is really ruthless, especially for the concentrated marking of the receivers, which is really eye-catching; Gronkowski and Wilk are two players with very different styles, but they are equally powerful giants, and they are simply impossible to guard.

If Manningham's catch hadn't been rushed and hadn't led to an interception, they would have been able to push forward and even score; If Aldon hadn't missed a crucial tackle against Wilk, they wouldn't have been in a position to fall behind immediately after the opening; If Marcus and Goyle's running ball can seize the opportunity to complete the advancement, the offensive pressure will not all pile up on Lu Ke.

Etcetera.

But the reality is, there are no ifs. Excuses, excuses, these are all excuses.

Lu Ke knew that excuses were useless, as if there was no regret medicine in the world, and it was impossible to turn back time. They must be deeply and genuinely aware of:

The performance in the first half was so bad, and it was down to me. Rugby is a game, one is the other, you come and go, and the suppression and counter-suppression between the two sides are mutual; In other words, how well the New England Patriots played more and more illustrated how bad the San Francisco 49ers were.

The defensive group is still a loose game.

The offensive group is still swaying in the wind.

Even if they want to work hard, the premise is that the offensive and defensive groups have to create opportunities for them to be able to perform. As for now? David Akons wanted to be able to help himself, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only sit on the sidelines, frustrated and irritable.

There is no reason and no excuse. The nightmare performance of the San Francisco 49ers is the biggest reason why they are in the current predicament.

Since the locker room conflict erupted three weeks ago, they have been stumbling and stumbling in their performances, beating the St. Louis Rams and Miami Dolphins in a row, not by strength, but by luck! Now, luck has run out, and the terrible state continues.

In the first half of the game, all the players on the offensive and defensive ends were like walking corpses in sleepwalking, with no idea what they were doing, like a light bulb with bad contact, fluttering, no one knowing if it was going to be completely extinguished in the next second.

But the fact that the team's form has been up and down can be traced back to the sixth week of the regular season against the New York Giants, when Crabtree's first half performance was really unsatisfactory, and after the second half, Moss replaced Crabtree and made his first appearance as a regular player, which was the first signal.

After that, the state of the offensive and defensive groups began to rise and fall, and as time progressed and the victory continued, the amplitude of the ups and downs began to become more and more intense and obvious, and the locker room clash after the defeat of the New Orleans Saints was actually the release and explosion of emotions and stress accumulated over several weeks.

Everything is traceable.

Then, it came to this, they sat in the dressing room at Gillette Stadium, facing the "27-0" dilemma, and the opponents were still Bilicek and Brady, Bilicek and Brady who would not easily miss any opportunity; At this moment, their eyes are now blank, and even if they want to turn around and win, they don't seem to know where to start and what to do.

Be quiet.

The whole locker room was silent, not even the sound of breathing or coughing, like a pool of stagnant water, all life was swallowed up by the sound of hunting at Gillette Field.

At the same time, everyone lowered their heads, did not dare to exchange glances, did not dare to make a sound, and even the anger had completely disappeared into the cold air, without any spirit or momentum, as if they had chosen to disarm and surrender before the second half of the game began.

What is more terrible than falling behind and failing?

Retreat without a fight!

Surrender without a fight!

Defeat without a fight!

That's the case with the San Francisco 49ers in front of you, which is dull and breathless.

But that wasn't the case with the San Francisco 49ers last season.

They are the best team in the league at turnaround, even against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys, even against the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants, even in the face of games with little hope of winning, even in the face of a desperate situation standing on the edge of the cliff, they have never bowed their heads, let alone surrendered!

This season, the San Francisco 49ers' journey has been too smooth.

The toughest game was against the New York Giants, who were also in trouble in the first half; But even in that game, their situation and troubles were nowhere near as serious as they were today.

After winning a series of victories throughout the season, it seemed that winning the game could be easily harvested without effort, and the preparation for crises and difficulties became numb and stiff, so that they forgot the bloody and ruthless nature of being in a desperate situation.

The "killing strategy" of media reporters just added fuel to the fire, making them forget one by one, and even forgot their own ability to see, as if standing above the clouds, they could not see danger, could not see difficulties, and naturally could not see blood.

In the past, they were dark horses who were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and they counterattacked all the way to the top; Now they are pampered as the league's top seeds, like flowers in a greenhouse.

Such San Francisco 49 people are really too strange!

The quiet in the locker room now, the silence that can't even explode with anger, is uncomfortably aggrieved.

Lu Ke still didn't endure it after all, and he didn't want to endure it either.

With a "boom", Lu Ke stood up and banged on the door of the locker with his right fist, the clattering sound was really too loud in the silent environment, like the sound of a drum, reactivating this pool of stagnant water little by little! This game is not over, this season is not over, Lu Ke has no intention of giving up, and he will not give up!

The loud noise kept echoing in the locker room, because it was too noisy and too harsh, so that everyone couldn't help but jump in shock, and slowly, the players frowned one after another and raised their chins, casting their eyes towards the source of the sound, and then saw Lu Ke with a serious face, everyone's eyes were slightly evasive, and quickly shifted their gaze.

But Lu Ke still didn't stop-

Because there are still people with their heads down, Randy Moss, Justin Smith, Aldon Smith and a few others, as if they are unaware, bury their heads deeply, refusing to respond.

If they didn't react, Lu Ke wouldn't give up.

Lu Ke not only did not stop, but also got up harder and harder, knocked on the cabinet door fiercely, and finally simply slammed the cabinet door hard, making a loud "bang" sound, and at this time, the remaining players also raised their heads one after another, looked in the direction of the sound with angry eyes, and vented their dissatisfaction.

Lu Ke didn't flinch, but took the initiative to step forward and slammed into the sight of Moss, Aldon and the others, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Moss and Aldon stopped talking, endured and endured, looked around quickly and panickedly, and finally did not say anything, and then sat down again sullenly with the buttocks that had just been raised.

But their forbearance attitude of calming things down made Lu Ke even more angry, "Really? That's how you're reacting now? Doesn't anyone want to say something now? So, that's what we're doing now? A bunch of cowards? Yes? Vent out, what thoughts are coming out of me? Dissatisfied? Disdain? Contempt? Or anger? ”

The more angry the emotion, the brighter the smile.

With a big smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Ke kept looking around, but there was a thick murderous aura hidden in that smile - to be precise, it should have sent a provocative signal without any concealment, which once again reminded people of the violence and strength of "Bloody Bambi", and that bloody aura seemed to begin to permeate.

I couldn't believe it, Lu Ke couldn't believe his eyes, even though he had been so sharply provocative, but in the face of his gaze scanning, all the players avoided their eyes, closed their mouths tightly, and didn't say anything, even the courage to meet their eyes seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and the quiet atmosphere slowly solidified, suffocating.

Ridiculous! Absurd!

After the clash in the locker room, they began to maintain a superficial harmony and unity, and then gradually they all closed their mouths one by one, and all emotions disappeared, along with their edges and sharpness? It sounds like a fantasy!

Could it be that in order to continue the winning pattern, they all chose to keep their mouths shut one by one? But the problem is that they are not such selfless players who think about the team!

Such an atmosphere made Lu Ke furious, his smile bloomed without any reservations, and he began to mock and joke with full firepower, "So, when you shouldn't speak, you are rushing to say it, but now you close your mouth one by one when you should speak?" What is it? A new way for high school girls to get along? Or Barbie's dream life? ”
