1161 is unique
In the face of the media, Barack has always been able to maintain his demeanor and humor, and today is no exception, despite the small unexpected episodes on the scene, he still coped with it without hurry.
Turning around, Barack adjusted his position slightly, then deliberately tiptoed slightly, and at the same time responded to the reporters' requests with a serious mouth, "Of course, of course." Standing next to Lu, I can always feel extra safe. I hope that the photos you publish on the front page will not be misinterpreted. ”
Barack is a burly man, a full 6 feet (185 cm) tall, but standing next to Lu Ke, he suddenly becomes a little bird - although Lu Ke himself is a relatively strong and thin type, but compared to the two people, they are two sizes apart from height to body size, and when they appear in a frame at the same time, the picture looks a little funny.
Lu Ke is also active, and at this moment, he also showed his composure and calmness in the face of the big scene, followed Bellak's words, revealed a puzzled look, and asked very sincerely, "Do you have any requirements for my posture?" Do I need to make a Bruce-Banner move? Will it look better this way? ”
Bruce Banner is, in fact, the Hulk. Lu Ke chose to ask the question at this time, and the subtext was: Do they need to pose as "Beauty and the Beast"?
As for who is beautiful and who is the beast, it seems to be left to the reader's judgment.
The back and forth between Lu Ke and Barack made all the reporters in the audience smile, they have long been accustomed to the president's conversation and laughter, and now they feel the humor from the new Super Bowl champions, and this year's White House visit of the champion team has generated more fun than expected.
After being interrupted by the reporter, Barack did not continue to stay, let go of the right hand holding Lu Ke, and continued to walk towards the next player.
The visit to the White House is an official event, and everything from press interviews to filming sessions to private lunches is planned in advance and the day is carried out according to the process.
Jim Hubble delivered a thank-you speech on behalf of the team, and Barack officially congratulated the San Francisco 49ers as president. Followed by a photo session and an interview session, and finally ended with Lu Ke's brief thank you speech, the first half of the process was temporarily to a paragraph, and the reporters reluctantly turned away, and their ears were finally cleared.
At lunchtime, the championship team had lunch with the president at the White House, along with the first lady in attendance. It's more like a private party — not a party bombarded with alcohol and sounds, but a cigar party for the elite of high society, elegantly grabbing a glass of whiskey or wine, talking about the rise and fall of Wall Street stocks or the boom of a company of 500 people, or something like that, at least the atmosphere feels like that.
Barack was a very approachable and humorous president, and during his tenure in office, he created a number of topics:
For example, he was called the first president to be elected by Twitter, and during the election campaign, the use of social networks successfully brought the new generation of voters closer; Another example is that he is the first sitting president in history to be a guest on a late-night talk show, and he has expanded his influence among the middle class with his excellent eloquence and humorous image.
The same is true today.
In the private luncheon party, Barack took care of all aspects, and after talking with many players, he came to Lu Ke again, smiled and nodded, "How do you feel?" As the sole focus of the audience? Even as a president, Lu Ke, who made history, is inevitably impressed.
After all, Lu Ke's existence is unique, in all respects. Looking at the four major leagues in North America, he is the only one who deserves it!
"You mean, because of my skin color? Or is it because of my quarterback position? Lu Ke had long been accustomed to this kind of question, and he was comfortable with it, and then tilted his head slightly, "Or do you feel more deeply about this situation than I do?" I guess you don't like being asked, do you? ”
Anti-general army.
Instead, Barack laughed happily, "It seems that we have reached a consensus. Then he changed the content of his question, "I'm more curious, how did you do the last-minute pass?" God, even if I look back at the game video now, I still can't believe that it happened. ”
"It's very simple, it's like your campaign debate, and I don't know how you did it; Again, you don't know how I did it. I guess we all chose the right path for ourselves. Lu Ke's response made Barack nod his head in agreement.
Immediately after that, Lu Ke changed his words and teased himself, "Actually, I don't know exactly how I did it, if I do it all over again now, the result may not be very certain." ”
"Huh." Barack laughed happily, "Luckily, the White House doesn't need you here to complete the pass. I think you're safe now. ”
This innocuous little humor made the atmosphere soft and cheerful, Lu Ke thought about it and asked curiously, "Can I ask a question?" ”
"Of course!" Barack smiled and met Lu Ke's gaze.
"Do you have your own free time? I mean, in addition to watching the Super Bowl replays. Lu Ke asked the question in a relaxed way, "I'm not sure how much effort it takes to manage a country, but what is certain is that it is definitely not a simple job." ”
Then, Lu Ke raised his hands and said that he was not aggressive, "My mother is very curious about this, she always feels that the people in the White House and Capitol Hill live in another world." "I told her that you have your own free time, and that you can read books, play golf, and read the news, just like the elite on Wall Street." ”
"Huh." Barack chuckled, then tilted his head slightly, looking at Lu Ke with interest, "Why do I feel the blade of irony?" Hopefully it's just my personal delusion. "The Wall Street elite, for most ordinary people, is indeed a key word of irony and ridicule; It's like people always refer to lawyers as sharks.
Lu Ke responded with a smile, but did not refute.
Barack immediately tasted the details: objectively speaking, as a lawyer, Barack can indeed be regarded as an elite, and if he is similar to the Wall Street elite, this is not wrong; It's just that Barack's background is only mediocre, far from the so-called elite.
Lu Ke's little ridicule was also full of his own wisdom, Barack was a smart person, and he immediately understood, and his smile became more relaxed and happy, "But...... Yes, I have my own spare time, just like a professional footballer, and even though I am very busy training and playing, I am able to have a little free time once in a while, and that's just a job. It's just that this job is a little special. ”
"There's only one copy in the whole of America. To be more precise, there is only one copy in the world. Lu Ke took over the conversation.
Barack bowed his head in agreement, "But I don't think there's any difference between this job and a quarterback job." We're all in charge of a team and then we need to get everything up and running, it's not easy, but we need to find a solution. As for my spare time, my first choices are golf and basketball. ”
"Ouch." Lu Ke directly began to exhale pain.
"Rugby requires a big team, but basketball can be played anytime, anywhere, and my choice is not difficult. "Actually, Barack's basketball is really good, of course, it can't be compared to professional players, and it does have some level among amateur players," In addition, the live broadcast, I watched the live broadcast. ”
A headless sentence came out like this, Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, but then reacted and showed a smile again, "Are you sure?" There was a power outage for 34 minutes in the middle, and you insisted that there was no turntable? ”
What Barack was talking about was the Super Bowl: he wasn't watching the recording, he was watching the live broadcast.
Lu Ke's reaction speed surprised Barack a little, and then a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes:
As a lawyer himself, he thinks at a different speed and in a different way, and many times, the person he talks to may not be able to keep up with the pace of his conversation, which is also a bothera; But he didn't expect Lu Ke to have no problem at all, which reminded him of Lu Ke's academic qualifications and the way he won in the past season.
"No, I didn't start watching until the power went out. Because of the unexpected power outage, it won me time to watch the live broadcast, and I just finished my work. "Obviously, I missed the first half in Baltimore, but luckily I didn't miss the second half in San Francisco. ”
"Phew, it's good that it's me standing here, not Flaco, otherwise the scene might be a little embarrassing." Lu Ke teased again, and both of them chuckled.
And that's just part of the White House luncheon.
Subsequently, Lu Ke was still the focus of the audience, not only the first lady, but also many White House staff members also stepped forward to talk to Lu Ke.
As a person who made history, Lu Ke has gradually become accustomed to being the absolute focus of attention, and he can meet curious, surprised or happy eyes wherever he goes, and now he finally knows what it was like to see the first white rhinoceros in the zoo.
After the visit to the White House, the rest of the San Francisco 49ers' teammates and coaches officially entered the offseason, and they could relax and enjoy their vacation, while Lu Ke came to New York alone, and he had an extra task to complete -
