"If business doesn't work, then I at least hope we can be friends."

Lu Ke's answer was unexpected, and Jerry's reaction was equally unexpected. The tense atmosphere that was suffocating in the last second turned into a cheerful and light spring breeze in the next second, and the atmosphere and rhythm in the entire VIP lounge were firmly controlled by Jerry, which highlighted Lu Ke's youthfulness more and more.

No matter how sophisticated, mature and calm Lu Ke is, in the final analysis, he is only twenty-three years old.

"Friends?" Lu Ke didn't know why, they were still talking about business just now, why did they suddenly talk about friendship?

Jerry is still at ease, "Business is business, friends are friends, these are two different things, and they can't be confused." Or do you think I'm not a friend worth socializing? ”

"Huh." Lu Ke chuckled, "Believe me, if I tell others now that Jerry Jones wants to be friends with me, my Facebook friend should be out of the box immediately." A little joke in a young man's way.

Jerry laughed happily, "Shouldn't it be my Facebook friend application that has exploded?" I used to joke with Tony that you're the president of the young people now, and everyone wants to be friends with Bambi. ”

"Tony also told me that the nickname Skywalker is no longer in vogue, and now everyone is more willing to call you Bambi because the Super Bowl sea of red is so amazing." Jerry's conversation rhythm instantly switched back to friendly mode, and the whole atmosphere changed freely, which has to be said to be an ability.

Before Lu Ke finished sighing, Jerry changed the topic again and added, "But I sincerely invited you to come to Dallas to play. Your style of play, your style, your dedication, all of that is what Dallas wants and what Dallas needs. I really hope you'll give it a serious consideration. ”

From the toughness and self-confidence just now to the sincerity and cordiality now, every word reveals his sincerity, which is really irresistible.

Master!

Definitely a master!

Even Lu Ke was a little shaken, Jerry's sincerity is indeed contagious, especially compared to the reaction of the 49ers in San Francisco, the stark gap is more and more empathetic.

Jerry didn't wait for Lu Ke's response, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, "If we can be partners, it would be great; But if not, I hope you'll still be welcome when you go to the Cindere Stadium next season. ”

To be honest, in the face of such an offensive from Jerry, it made it very difficult to refuse.

Or is it that all the ups and downs of tonight's meeting are all Jerry's tricks and strategies, and all the details are in the palm of Jerry's hands?

After realizing this, Lu Ke laughed dumbly and shook his head slightly, "Jerry, you are very powerful, you are really, really powerful." Oh, God! ”

Seeing Lu Ke's smile, Jerry laughed out loud again - this was the third time tonight, and it could be seen that he was indeed in a very good mood. He likes smart people, especially those like Lu Ke, who are smart, wise and unswerving, "But no matter how good I am, I still can't convince you, right?" I can only pin my hopes on Lech now. ”

The Dallas Cowboys' team manager is Jerry Jones, and his son, Stephen Jones, is the executive vice president and player manager, and all player management is done with the assistance of another assistant player manager.

If Jerry Jones is ready to sign Lu Ke, then after he makes up his mind, everything will not be a problem, as he said, he can make a condition that Lu Ke can't refuse within the team's salary cap, which is definitely not a big deal.

Regarding the transfer, Jerry and Lu Ke talked about it here, but the two did not leave immediately, but talked about tonight's "Saturday Night Live" program; Later, Lorne also appeared, looking as if he had just finished his work and showed up "on time", while Lu Ke and Jerry's alone time was a complete accident.

The three of them stayed in the VIP room and chatted for a while before getting up and leaving.

When Lu Ke returned to Candace's residence, it was close to two o'clock in the morning.

For New Yorkers, Saturday night is only now at its high/high level, and it is the most wonderful and moving time of the whole weekend, when you can see the people enjoying themselves inside and outside the bars, nightclubs, and streets, and the lively and energetic atmosphere through the spring cold falling on the surface of the skin, and you can faintly feel a little scorching.

But for professional footballers, it's really uncommon. Sleep quality is paramount and it's almost impossible to fall asleep after 10 a.m., especially on Saturday nights – because Sunday is a game day, it's even more important to fall asleep on time. Even in the offseason, this is only a handful of cases.

After arriving home, Lu Ke quickly took a combat bath, and then fell asleep groggy.

The next morning, the biological clock still woke Lu Ke up regularly, and began his morning exercise in the dark red brick streets of Manhattan, which was a wonderful experience, without the coastline and hill slopes of San Francisco, and without the open and flat stalls of Los Angeles, the city streets of New York inexplicably breed a touch of loneliness - alone in the big world.

After returning from his morning exercise, Lu Ke skillfully prepared a simple breakfast for himself: blueberries and bananas mixed with various nuts, and then served with four eggs.

It's not a complicated recipe, the offseason has just begun, and the main thing is to maintain a healthy diet, and then slowly adjust the diet after the offseason training officially begins.

Sitting at the dining table, Lu Ke summoned the system and began to carefully flip through the comprehensive training package.

Breakfast was over, but Lu Ke still didn't leave the table, but concentrated on reading the comprehensive training package, inextricably indulging in it, and the passage of time became insignificant, until the corner of the room came from the vibration of the mobile phone. Lu Ke raised his head and looked left and right, and then found his mobile phone on the bedside table, and glanced at the caller ID, it was Lehe.

"Good morning! Calling so early, it was obviously an important matter. Lu Ke returned to the table and put all the dishes in the dishwashing sink.

The time difference between Los Angeles and New York is three hours, and it's just over nine o'clock in New York right now, which also means that Los Angeles is six o'clock.

Lech still looked unhurried, and even had the heart to joke, "As I get older, my sleep time begins to slowly decrease, and it's not too early." The relaxed and joking tone made Lu Ke smile too, "During the offseason, your biological clock and training plan have been interrupted, and I'm not sure about your next plan, how about it, do you have ten minutes?" ”

"Of course, there is no problem." Lu Ke briefly rinsed the dishes with tap water, wiped his hands, and stood still against the dining table, "I was just flipping through the tactical manual, and there is nothing special." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I've already contacted all the situations for the offseason training that starts next week." Lech knew that this was what Lu Ke valued the most, so he explained this matter in the first sentence, and then got to the point, "Jerry Jones called me last night, and it's already midnight here in Los Angeles." ”

Although for brokers, they are always on standby 24 hours a day, seven days a week; But many things don't necessarily have to be in a hurry, especially in the middle of the night, but Jerry still acts like this, in fact, to show his sincerity and firmness.

Lu Ke just nodded lightly and did not express his opinion.

Lech left a gap slightly, sensing that Lu Ke had no intention of speaking, and continued, "It seems that Jerry talked to you first last night?" How did Vincent not notice? ”

It's a guess, but more of a certainty. From Lu Ke's calm response, you can sniff out the clues of the abnormality.

He showed up on the show and was introduced directly by Lorne Michaels. Vincent was in the break room, he didn't come. Jerry and I had only been talking for less than twenty minutes, and I hadn't specifically mentioned it to Vincent. Lu Ke said lightly, as if he had just met an old friend, not Jerry Jones.

When I faced Jerry last night, I was inevitably a little excited; But after a night of precipitation and a morning of soberness, Lu Ke's brain gradually calmed down.

"What do you think?" Lech didn't directly mention his conversation with Jerry, but asked Lu Ke's opinion.

Facing his agent, Lu Ke naturally told the truth, "If I can, I still hope to stay in San Francisco." ”

"Because of Tony?" The same is true of the first thought in Lech's mind, Lu Ke has only been in the league for two years, and there are really not many friends in the league except within the team, JJ Watt is one, and Tony Romo and Matt Lane can also be counted.

Lu Ke did not deny it, "Of course." I still can't calmly go over and grab Tony's job, it's a really weird feeling. Lu Ke himself chuckled, "But Tony is only one of the reasons, Logan, Marcus and the head coach, they are all the reasons why I continue to stay in San Francisco, after all, they are still familiar." However, the most important reason ......"

Lu Ke paused for a moment and said honestly, "It's still because of the nine people." I promised the Nine before that I would stay. Unless it's San Francisco that really hurts me, I want to be able to stay, just for that sea of red. ”

Lech is not surprised.

Lech himself is a passionate agent, and this is true when he chooses Ben-Rothslisberg, and the same is true when he chooses Lu Ke.

Actually, FL is a little bit different from other leagues, the quarterback is the core cornerstone of the whole team, if you can, the quarterback stays on the same team, and then the team manager and head coach build the whole team around the quarterback, that's the right way to go, it's a win-win for the player and the team.

Most of the time, other players can be traded, but quarterbacks are rare.
