182 after the game
Standing at the door of the VIP room, Sophie knocked politely, and then she looked back, her bright eyes flashing with a shallow smile, and she smiled back, "Good luck, Mr. Bambi." ”
This is the first time Lu Ke has come to the VIP room on the top floor, there is no way to judge the way, one second, he and Sophie are still talking, and the next second, the VIP room is already close in front of him. Lu Ke's attention shifted to the door of the VIP room, and his reaction speed was slightly slower by half a beat, and he didn't have time to respond to Sophie in the first place.
When the aftertaste came, the door of the VIP room was already open, Sophie also turned to leave, and the eyes only had time to catch a light smile on the corner of her mouth and a fragrant fragrance on the wing of her nose, and the next moment, a security guard in a black suit stood in front of Lu Ke and made an inviting gesture, "Please." ”
Lu Ke cleaned up his mood a little, retracted his gaze, and walked into the VIP room.
The VIP room, decorated in bright red and royal blue, presents a retro European style, with occasional gold accents, and even more magnificent, soft velvet sofas, a tall oak bar, a variety of spirits cabinets, authentic famous paintings on display, and green potted plants...... There is a lot of life everywhere, and there is a huge pool table on the right-hand side.
However, the line of sight is just a slight sweep, and then you can see a whole glass wall in front of you, the scarlet curtains on both sides are opened, and the whole stadium is in full view.
"Look, that's our protagonist, who has dominated the Cindebris Stadium for the last two weeks. Welcome, warm welcome. The warm greeting attracted Lu Ke's attention, and then he saw an oncoming figure, opened his arms in a friendly manner, made a hugging motion, and hugged Lu Ke firmly.
Then, he took two steps back, looked Lu Ke up and down, and gently closed his chin, "You are taller and stronger than I imagined." He turned his head to look at Jim Hubble, who was standing next to him, "Why is everyone saying that he's too thin?" Is it because I'm too much of a layman? ”
Curious and energetic.
Lu Ke opened his arms and calmly greeted the gaze, "Similarly, you are younger than I imagined. I hope I'm not prejudiced. Responding to humor with humor and responding to curiosity with curiosity, Lu Ke showed the necessary qualities of a journalist, neither humble nor arrogant, not flustered.
"I'm really too young to have a team; However, you are good enough to lead the team to two wins. "The way young people communicate with young people, it's really different.
Standing in front of Lu Ke was not the Yorkes, but their son, Jed-York, who was only thirty-one years old this year. Three years ago, the Yorkes officially appointed Jade as the team's president, and now oversees the day-to-day affairs of the team, including dealing with the media and watching weekly games.
"With just two wins, isn't that too easy for the team to be satisfied with?" Lu Ke responded with a smile.
Jade turned to Jim and chuckled, "This rookie player's ambitions are not trivial. You know, we should have only had six wins last year; Moreover, the season started with a five-game losing streak. Jade then shrugged, "But, I like it." He looked at Lu Ke and Jim again, and his gaze shifted back and forth, "So, can we look forward to the next game?" ”
"First of all, we need to do our job. This is the first step. ”
The calmness of the victory succeeded in making Jed smile.
The meeting ended quickly, and it lasted less than five minutes.
Jed didn't look at Lu Ke differently and favored him, he just had a little curiosity:
A Chinese quarterback, an undrafted rookie, people can say luck, luck, or surprise, but the fact is that he led the team to two consecutive wins; And in the case of four games in the preseason, this is even more commendable.
After their curiosity was satisfied, Lu Ke and Jim left the VIP room without lingering; In fact, not only Jed York, but the entire league — the entire league in the true sense of the word, all eyes are focused on the San Francisco 49ers, and all eyes are on Lu Ke.
The 2010 season ended with just six wins and 10 losses, and the 2011 season had a hard to find a win in the preseason, and the offseason experienced turmoil and reshuffle for the entire team...... Who would have thought that after the start of the season, the San Francisco 49ers have won two in a row, and only seven teams in the entire league are undefeated.
It's all incredible.
What's even more commendable is that the rookie quarterback put on an amazing performance for the second week in a row, whether it was a running choice in a critical situation or a reappearance of "that catch", he really delivered an excellent answer. Unconsciously, the vision and views of the alliance quietly began to change.
In competitive sports, the difference between victory and defeat is always very clear.
After the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys game ended, another wave of news frenzy and controversy swept in! The discussion and heated discussion brought about by "that catch" have become the focus of attention!
The controversial, high-profile, and questionable Chinese quarterback Lu Ke had a slight up-and-down performance this week, but he still led the team to a second consecutive victory!
21-of-31 passes, 256 yards, three touchdowns, one interception, one tackle, quarterback rating 111.7, PFF rating 1.4.
Excellent, excellent, still excellent! For the second week in a row, Lu Ke's quarterback score and PFF score have shown a gratifying trend, once again showing the potential of an excellent quarterback, which is eye-catching.
No one should forget that the same team has only scored one passing touchdown in four games in the preseason, but in the two weeks of the regular season, Lu Ke has already passed eight pass touchdowns.
No one should forget that at the critical moment of the fourth week of the preseason, Lu Ke was forced to put on the game, before the regular season, the new starting quarterback and the team only had ten days to run-in, but now they have won two consecutive games.
Again, no one should forget that the San Francisco 49ers won the game by 619 yards on the pass and just 112 yards on the run in two games.
As the team's starting quarterback, Lu Ke deserves to be the primary hero!
In the face of such stellar performance figures, Fox TV commentator Kirk Charleston said, "This Chinese-American quarterback reminds me of Big-Ben. ”
"Big Ben" is the nickname of Ben-Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who, like Eli Manning and Philip Rivers, entered the league in the 2004 draft, which was the most important quarterback year in a decade, and the draft pick was Eli, the youngest son of the Manning family, and Big Ben was selected with the eleventh pick in the first round.
In his rookie season, Big Ben adapted to the league atmosphere as the third quarterback, but in the preseason, the injury of the second quarterback made him the team's second quarterback; In the second week of the regular season, an unexpected injury to the starting quarterback brought Big Ben's league debut further and forced him to be pushed to the starting quarterback position.
Big Ben's opening game was a nightmare, scoring two touchdowns but also making two interceptions, and the Pittsburgh Steelers lost by a big margin to the Baltimore Ravens; But after that, with the cover of the league's best defensive team that year, Big Ben began his own record-breaking journey.
He is on a thirteen-game winning streak, the best record in the history of a rookie in the league; In the eighth week of the season, he led the team to defeat the defending champion New England Patriots, ending the opponent's all-time 21-game winning streak; In his rookie season, he achieved a 66.4 percent pass completion rate and a 98.1 quarterback rating, both breaking the NFL record set by Miami Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino in 1983 and was unanimously voted the Offensive Rookie of the Season that year.
Then, in the 2005 season, he stumbled into the Super Bowl and received his first championship ring, surpassing Tom Brady to become the youngest Super Bowl champion starting quarterback in league history; In the 2008 season, he entered the Super Bowl again against the Arizona Cardinals led by Kurt Warner, the "Cinderella of the League", and the two teams played the best Super Bowl in history, and finally, he received his second championship ring.
In summary, Big Ben currently holds most of the record as a rookie quarterback and is also the most successful of the new generation of quarterbacks. Eli Manning, the top pick in the draft in the same year, although he received a Super Bowl championship ring, his nervous knife play was destined to miss him from the quarterback passing record.
Now, Kirk compares Lu Ke to Daben. Apparently not because of Big Ben's 241-pound (109-kilogram) strong body, but because of Big Ben's superb passing skills; At the same time, it is also because of Lu Ke's keen sense of smell and intuition for victory in the game.
This time, the opposition has been at least halved; Support voices are starting to pop up.
"Can Lu Ke break Big Ben's rookie season quarterback records? It's still a question mark! The season is still a long one. But what is certain is that the rookie quarterback, through two consecutive games, has proved that he is not just a transition quarterback, but also has the potential to be a good quarterback with superb passing skills, excellent reading skills, excellent key judgments, and a brave heart that never gives up! ”
The comments from the San Francisco Chronicle football commentator Brian Westbrook also represent the mainstream view of the league, and many professional commentators and commentators have expressed similar opinions, the season is long, the game is hard, but at least, Lu Ke has proved that he is not a transitional quarterback.
