"Bambi, you look very relaxed today, and you don't seem to notice the nervousness. When you first entered the court, what were you and Logan and Marcus discussing? ”

Strictly speaking, this is not a problem, but a cut-to-cut conversation, so that the relaxed atmosphere of the scene continues, rather than starting the interview mode as soon as it comes up, which is too blunt.

"Can't see my nervousness? Oh, so that means I'm still fully equipped with my Pork-Face today. Lu Ke joked lightly.

You can feel his complacent inside and outside the words, and he didn't have stage fright because of today's grand scale, which is really rare - you know, the Super Bowl official media day is several times more lively than usual, and many rookie players will inevitably make mistakes, either overexcited or overly nervous.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke returned to the topic with a smile and began to answer questions, "Just off the court, we were just lamenting that there was still no sense of reality, and the most fortunate thing is that Logan and Marcus are still standing by my side, two years ago, we just graduated from college, and then dreamed of standing on the Super Bowl stage, I didn't expect everything to come so quickly." ”

"Speaking of this, we all know that in your career, after a lot of storms and waves, two years ago in the draft, you were still a quarterback who no one cared about, and you weren't even sure if you could have a career, but now you're on the Super Bowl stage, have you lost hope in the process?"

Everyone says that the story in the movie is too dreamy, too ideal, and too perfect to lose its authenticity; But life is always more exaggerated than fictional stories, and the inspirational stories on the sports field are the ones that overshadow Hollywood's fairy tales.

From a sparring player to a top quarterback, from an undrafted rookie to a team leader, from questionable to high-profile, it's been a journey of magic! Even now that he has witnessed everything happening, he still inevitably has doubts when he dreams back at midnight, compared to Kurt Warner and Tom Brady, Lu Ke is even more legendary, and has truly opened the door for Chinese players to the NFL!

But before today, who could really believe that Lu Ke could accomplish such a feat?

"No, no, no." Lu Ke showed a big smile, shook his head again and again, and said confidently and unswervingly, "I have never lost hope, and I have always believed that I can have a place here." ”

The words were so unequivocal that reporters couldn't tell whether they were confident or arrogant.

But Lu Ke did not hesitate, and continued, "I know, how incredible all this is; But the question is, if even I don't believe in myself, then who else in the world wants to believe in me? Even my parents couldn't help me. Only when I have a firm belief in myself can my family, my friends, and my teammates stand by my side and move forward together. ”

Self-doubt and firm belief are a set of contradictory factors, only by overcoming self-doubt and learning to be firm in one's beliefs can one be able to open one's heart to the help of others, otherwise no one can do anything.

Standing in front of Lu Ke at this moment is the main force that once questioned him, provoked him and belittled him, and now facing him head-on again, Lu Ke has never been timid, fearful, or gloating, because he knows that those doubts will always exist-

If he doesn't win the Super Bowl, then doubts will follow; If he wins the Super Bowl, then the question of defending the title will be on the horizon, and then the topic of when to win the second, third, or even fourth Super Bowl...... Until the day of retirement, these voices will not go away. Some people are immersed in doubts and cannot extricate themselves, and eventually sink; Others draw motivation from doubt.

Lu Ke is the latter.

"In fact, I'm very, very grateful for the ups and downs of the past, to my family and teammates who have always been there for me, and to the fans who have been with us through this journey. I never gave up hope, and thank you for not giving up. Lu Ke said with a smile, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

In the face of such a calm and calm Lu Ke, the reporters present could feel that those setbacks and ups and downs did not defeat Lu Ke, but made Lu Ke what he is now. Character determines fate, and this sentence blooms at this moment.

"Bambi, do you still think of the 2011 draft?"

"Haha." The reporter's question made Lu Ke laugh happily, "Your subtext is, will I still be entangled in why no team chose me?" Lu Ke did not shy away from exposing the reporter's tricks, but his mood was exceptionally bright, "No, no, no." I'm just glad I'm a nine. ”

"I've been lucky enough to be back in San Francisco and meet some lovely fans here. Haha, you can think I'm doing image engineering, trying to flatter the fans. Lu Ke made his joke generously, and the ease between his words was quite relaxed.

"You mean Ryan Baldwin? The fan who paid tribute to the golden ocean of the regular season? ”

Lu Ke showed a big smile and replied in the affirmative, "Yes, he is one of them." In fact, it was a privilege to know Ryan Baldwin. It was he who showed me the indomitable spirit beyond winning and losing, and it was he who made me understand that the 49ers are so much more than a team, and it was he who made me rediscover my faith and keep going. ”

"Speaking of which, Ryan, I've fulfilled my promise, and now, it's your turn." Without warning, Lu Ke turned his head to the live broadcast camera lens and said.

The reporters on the scene were all confused and unclear; And Ryan, who was sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast of the official media day, was directly choked by his own saliva and coughed violently, and Jonathan, who was next to him, hurriedly began to calm Ryan and asked worriedly what was going on, but Ryan himself was so happy that he laughed while coughing.

The reporters asked one after another, but Lu Ke was slippery and never leaked, so they gave up, anyway, the fan problem was not the focus.

"Bambi, what do you think about the opponents you're going to face in the Super Bowl? How do you think Joe Flaco has been doing this season? ”

"In fact, I think there's been a lack of attention to Flaco, and everybody thinks that the Baltimore Ravens are a team that started out defensively. Of course, their defensive group is definitely the best in the league, but their offensive group can't be ignored either. After Lu Ke opened his mouth to express his thoughts, the reporters at the scene showed a look of disbelief, thinking that Lu Ke was just saying polite words.

Flaco is certainly not a high-profile quarterback, having been drafted by the Baltimore Ravens with the 18th pick in the first round in 2008, the year it was a quarterback minor, and the highest quarterback in the draft was Matt Lane of the Draft, and Flaco was the second quarterback to be drafted in the entire draft. Five seasons so far, mediocre results.

Although he has been in a three-thousand-yard season for four consecutive seasons except for his rookie season, he has not had a four-thousand-yard season so far; The highest number of touchdowns in a season was only 25 in 2010, and the number of intercepts was double-doubled every year; The highest quarterback rating was only 93.6 in the 2010 season, and all other seasons were below 90 points, and he had some running ability with the ball, but his timing was really average, and he tried 32 runs this season with an average of 0.7 yards.

In other words, Flaco is a dedicated quarterback who is indeed above the league average; However, there is still a long way to go before it is excellent.

Add to that the exceptionally strong defensive group of the Baltimore Ravens, and Vlaco's ability is further overlooked, with few mentioning his on-court performances in particular.

But Lu Ke is not joking:

With 75 seconds left in the regular season against the Denver Broncos in this season's divisional game, Flaco tied the score with a 70-yard long pass with a touchdown in four gears without a timeout. In the subsequent American League finals, Flaco's sudden outburst in the second half scored two consecutive passing touchdowns and helped his teammates complete a running touchdown, directly crushing the New England Patriots.

These two games can show Flaco's explosiveness in key moments, which reminds people of Eli Manning; Not only that, but as of this year, Flaco is the only quarterback in history to win at least one playoff game in five consecutive years since his rookie season, a consistency that is unique in the league.

It can be said that Flaco's ceiling is comparable to that of Little Manning; His lower bar is well above the league average, and not only does he rarely make mistakes, but he continues to be consistent. This also makes the Baltimore Ravens a difficult team to beat, and the fact that they have been locked with the Patriots in the American League finals for two consecutive years is the best proof of this.

Everyone has noticed the Ravens defense, but Lu Ke will definitely not forget Flaco's presence.

To be honest, the reason why he had such an idea was because of the division match between the Baltimore Ravens and the Denver Broncos, Lu Ke watched it more than twenty times, and he did have a new understanding of Flaco's stability and explosiveness.

Facing the opponent who is about to face again in the Super Bowl, Lu Ke did not hesitate to praise himself, "Vlako's tactical choices and pocket steps at key moments are worth learning from, I think everyone underestimates his ability, he is a good player, he will never give up the victory easily, if we want to win, I have to give it my all." ”

But...... There is still no reporter who believes Lu Ke's "polite words", just a passing stroke, and then all attention is focused on the focus person, "What about Ray Lewis?" What do you think of the Hall of Fame-level opponent in the defensive team who is about to face each other? ”
