1322 Typical London

From live interactions in Trafalgar Square, to the recording of talk shows; From interviews with The Times, to fan meet-and-greets at the flagship store of the official merchandise sales of NFL merchandise, and so on.

In just two days, Lu Ke and Gabott participated in a series of promotional activities to build momentum for the London Bowl, and the major news media can also see overwhelming reports, and the annual London Bowl actually has a faint momentum of the annual Super Bowl - of course, the strength of the two sides is far inferior, just from the perspective of publicity.

Roger Goodale couldn't have asked for more:

With Lu Ke's assist, the Jacksonville Jaguars represented by Gabott can be described as a big show, and the home court advantage of the London Bowl is gradually becoming apparent, and for local London fans, the deeper the bond between them and the Jaguars, the better it will be for the London Bowl. Lu Ke's selflessness and shrewdness once again left a deep impression on people.

The influence of the Internet has far exceeded expectations, and just the live broadcast of YouTube Online has created a frenzy of news attention, not to mention the gathering of follow-up attention - the so-called "Super Bowl momentum" naturally has a part of North America; Originally, because of the time difference, the ratings of the London Bowl in North America were bound to be affected, but now it has been perfectly compensated.

Goodale was satisfied with Lu Ke's commitment.

Out of selfishness, if he can, he also expects Lu Ke to return to the playoffs again this season, and Lu Ke's market influence will be further enhanced, which can play a positive role in the league's future plans. Of course, from a purely personal point of view, Goodale also thinks that Lu Ke's victory is very pleasing to the eye.

Sadly, the campaign lasted only two days, and the two quarterbacks had to prepare for the London Bowl.

In the next few days, both teams were engaged in preparing for the game, resuming training, adapting to the field, tactical training, etc., etc., etc., in an orderly manner; The publicity effect of the London Bowl has begun to enter the sprint stage, and after more than half a year of foreshadowing, it is finally time for a full-scale outbreak.

In anticipation, the London Bowl is officially staged!

As one of the overseas highlights of the year that Roger Goodale has been working hard to promote, although the weight and specifications can't be compared to the Super Bowl, the momentum is no less impressive. The second London Bowl of the year was also star-studded in the audience, even more than the first.

David Beckham appeared at Wembley Stadium with his three sons, which was also his first appearance on the home side of the England national team since he officially retired; Tennis player Andy-Murray has just returned to London to receive the British Empire Medal of Honour from Willion/Prince after returning from the Davis Cup and is also present at the London Bowl tonight.

The famous British director Guy-Ritchie (Guy-Ritchie), as well as British actors Jason-Statham (Jason-Statham), Jude-Law (Jude-Law), Tom Hardy (Tom-Hardy) and others also appeared in the VIP box of the players, which also became one of the important focuses of camera lens tracking.

This is the seventh year of the London Bowl, but it is the first time that so many stars have been seen in the players' VIP boxes, and even the analysts and commentators on the scene have to sigh, "The charm of the defending champions is too strong." Clearly, the tide of this team is sweeping the British Isles. ”

However, the weather in London was clearly not very suitable for the show.

Rainstorm!

Not a light rain, but a downpour!

According to the scheduled time, the official opening whistle will blow at 5 p.m. local time in London, which means that North America will be at 10 a.m. Western Time and 1 p.m. Eastern Time. This is the result after taking into account all the broadcast time, but London has been overcast all day, and it is only 3:30 in the afternoon, and the layers of dark clouds have already put the whole city into night mode in advance, and the street lights have been lit one after another.

Just after four o'clock, the sky began to rain lightly, at first it was just an intermittent drizzle, almost not much effect, and the pedestrians on the street did not even hold umbrellas, but just raised the collar of their trench coats and quickened their walking, and there seemed to be no problem.

But when the players of both teams began to warm up for the game at Wembley Stadium, the light rain gradually began to get heavier, and by the time the game started, it had already evolved into a super rain, as if the sky had been torn open, and all the rain poured down in one go, and even the vision was seriously affected, not to mention the water standing all over the ground.

This is London.

Or rather, this is the UK, why do Brits always talk about the weather when they meet?

Because they can go through four seasons in just one day, they have to learn to navigate the rainstorm without the protection of an umbrella – a storm that is often accompanied by strong winds, which can make people more embarrassed if they have an umbrella, and a lighter one without an umbrella to avoid the possibility of injury.

When the British met, they discussed not only the weather itself, but a series of accidents and accidents caused by bad weather, which is the focus of complaints.

That's true today.

It was cloudy all day, and it looked like it was going to rain at any time, but it just didn't rain, and after a dreary day, the wind gradually stopped, and it seemed that there was no possibility of rain, and then the light rain fell, and then it turned into a heavy rain, and finally it was a torrential rain, which was almost a disaster.

If you don't complain about the weather, what else do you complain about?

Inevitably, the London bowl was also affected. Wembley Stadium was refurbished and opened in 2007, but its drainage function has always been criticized, and when it rains, the turf is like a freshly cultivated vegetable patch, full of dangers from deep to shallow, comparable to a game of minesweeping. The only good thing is that the new stadium has a retractable canopy.

At the beginning of the rain, Goodale didn't want to close the roof, because rugby is always an outdoor sport, not to mention heavy rains, and Buffalo Bill plays in the snow every winter; The Denver Broncos' home stadium is located on a plateau, and professional players even need to take oxygen at all times to keep the game going...... Inclement weather is an integral part of the sport.

The roof of Wembley Stadium has only been closed for a long time.

But before the official whistle blew for the game, the rainstorm was so exaggerated that the scene had turned into a mud pool, and the vision and footsteps were severely affected, so that the quarterback's passing became almost an impossible task; In order to keep the game running smoothly and to keep the players away from injury, Goodale had to agree to close the roof.

It took 25 minutes for Wembley Stadium to close the roof and the on-site staff to carry out emergency drainage work, and it was not until 5.40am that the game officially began, but the heat and humidity inside were uncertain, and the air flow in the enclosed environment was very different from that outside, and both teams had to adapt to the new playing environment.

In the coin guessing session, the San Francisco 49ers guessed the back, but Lu Ke unexpectedly chose to give up the offensive right - they took the lead in defense.

That's Hubble's consideration.

Now there is still some stagnant water inside the field, and the temperature is low, in this case, it is easy to slip or collide accidents, if you choose to attack, then it is also based on ground attack, and it is still difficult for some strong people to play a pass attack at the beginning, and you need to take more risks. The San Francisco 49ers' ground offense was not a strong point, and Lu Ke had only just returned from injury for three games, so Hubble didn't want to take a blind risk.

So, the Jacksonville Jaguars took the lead in attacking.

Obviously, regarding the weather and the environment, Jaguars head coaches Garth Bradley and Jim Hubble agreed that all the focus of the first wave of offense was on ground advancement, with eighth-year veteran running back Maurice-Jones-Drew and first-year rookie running back Denard-Robinson becoming the offensive core -

The former is small but full of horsepower, the latter is tall and strong like a bulldozer, and two running backs with different styles take turns to attack the San Francisco 49ers, who have significantly regressed on the ground this season.

After the opening, the Jaguars, who were fighting at home, seemed to have found unwavering courage and fighting spirit, and took the lead in launching an offensive wave without showing weakness, and actually faintly gained the upper hand, reversing people's predictions about the game before the game, and winning the first attack in a row amid the passionate cheers of the fans.

Tonight's Wembley Stadium was not disturbed by the weather at all, and all 90,000 seats were full, as shown by ticket sales, the attendance rate really reached 100%, of which the fans wearing the dark green jerseys of the Jaguars home stadium occupied the main part, and more than 60% or even 70% of the fans were scattered throughout the stadium, black and pressing; But what is even more spectacular is that the white jersey and red jersey mixed in, like a flower arrangement, contrast those black, and the whole stadium is more and more magnificent.

The red jersey belonging to the San Francisco 49ers home team, and the white jersey belonging to the San Francisco 49ers and the Jacksonville Jaguars away, the scattered colors of the jerseys are all intertwined, like a genius painter creating an abstract painting in the form of splashing ink.

The Jacksonville Jaguars did have the home advantage.

But unfortunately, this momentum could not be continued, and after the half-time, it was interrupted violently and viciously, and before he could react, he was knocked out with three strikes, ending the first wave of attack in today's game.

The San Francisco 49ers offensive team is on the line.
