“…… Fox News interspersed with urgent news that Ryan had passed away, and it was Ryan of the Golden Ocean, who had come to Candlestick Stadium many times to watch the game, didn't he? I won't admit it. It all came so suddenly, no one expected it......"

"But, but...... How so? I saw him at the training base during the pre-season. He came over with his brother to watch the training, didn't he look good? He also talked to Bambi, nothing special. ”

"The news broadcast said that ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is like this, and the rate of deterioration is uncontrollable, generally speaking, it is three to seven years, but the specific situation is still uncontrollable. It's been almost four years since Ryan was sick, and the doctors can't help it. The exact situation is still uncertain now, but now the rumor says that it seems to be just a mouthful of phlegm stuck, and then there is no way to breathe on its own, and then there is a blue alert. ”

"A mouthful of phlegm?"

"Hmm. Something happened last night, but the doctor came back. Unexpectedly, in less than twenty hours, the respiratory failure rate exceeded expectations, and the blue alert appeared again, and this time there was no rescue. And then it was gone. None expected it. ”

Suddenly, Lu Ke sat up straight, but he didn't know what he should do, he just sat in place, his eyes were full of incredulity, but his brain couldn't turn around.

Who?

What the hell is going on?

Who are they talking about?

The sound outside the corridor was a little hollow, Lu Ke couldn't sort out his thoughts, he was always unsure, and then he cast a glance at Thomas who was standing next to him, "I'm sorry, I can trouble you to go out and ask ......and take a look" Lu Ke realized that his voice was hoarse, "Ask and see, what's going on?" What happened to Fox News? After a pause, the name "Ryan" just got stuck in his throat and could only be repeated again, "yes, what's wrong with Fox News?" ”

Thomas faintly sensed that something was wrong, but his reaction speed couldn't keep up, so he nodded ignorantly, quickly opened the door of the medical room, and rushed out, the sound of footsteps echoing in the corridor, but it made people panic.

When he first learned that he was injured, Lu Ke had no fear, but now his fingers couldn't help but start trembling slightly.

Ryan Baldwin, Ryan who was still alive just two weeks ago, Ryan who was still heroic just two weeks ago, bathed in the golden sun of the summer tail, cheerful and positive, exclaimed enthusiastically, "Bambi, let's defend the title together, what do you think of this idea?" ”

That bright smile shimmered with a sparkling light, and even the sun became inferior.

That Ryan, how could he leave so suddenly? Not even a word of "goodbye" remained, and it developed without warning, leaving no preparation time and buffer room. It shouldn't be like this.

Mistakenly, it must be mistaken, it must be mistaken. Ryan is a very, very ordinary name, isn't it? Another Ryan with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is also possible, isn't it? They haven't fulfilled their promises, they haven't defended their titles together, how can Ryan just say goodbye without saying a word?

No way!

Lu Ke secretly clenched his fists, cheering for himself and Ryan, and seemed to be more sure of his guess.

They said yes, this year we will work together and fight together; They said yes, and once again let the Golden Ocean recreate Candlestick Stadium and attack all the way to the Super Bowl...... They had already agreed, how could Ryan break his promise? Ryan is not a coward who gives up on his own initiative and gives up halfway!

He's not!

Lu Ke stood up directly, quickly left the medical room, completely forgot his left knee, and immediately appeared in the corridor, and saw the three people staying not far away, he asked as he stepped forward, "Sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you, I just overheard your conversation, uh, what's going on?" Can you elaborate on that? I mean, ...... Uh, who the hell had the accident, and which one was Ryan? ”

Not Baldwin, right?

The two staff members exchanged glances, and there was a hint of unbearability in the depths of their eyes, and then when they turned around, they could see the pain and struggle in the depths of Lu Ke's eyes, and even a little pleading, the words were just spinning on the tip of their tongues, but they couldn't bear to say it directly.

But...... How long can they hide it?

"It's Ryan Baldwin. The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patient, the Ryan who set off a sea of gold on our courts. He had just passed away, and Fox News had already aired the news to confirm ......"

The words echoed in the corridor with great difficulty, but Lu Ke couldn't hear them all, his mind fell blank for an instant, not sure what he was thinking at this moment, there seemed to be a moment of fault, and nothing could be found on the time scale, so he stood in place, and there was a "buzzing" sound in his ears, like a ball ......of cotton stuffed into it.

"Bambi? Bambi! ”

Suddenly, the sound in his ears exploded like thunder, pulling Lu Ke back to the ground from the clouds, he came back to his senses again, his eyes refocused, and then he saw Trent standing in front of him, as well as Walter and others, a large crowd of bustling, at this time Trent was full of worry, "Bambi, are you okay?" You need ......."

It's just that the words that followed were cut off by Lu Ke rudely and directly before they were spoken.

"I need to get back on the field." Lu Ke said.

Trent opened his mouth slightly, they had just made a decision, Lu Ke had to go to the hospital for further examination, they couldn't take any risks - although they very, very much hoped that Lu Ke would appear immediately, "Bambi, but ......"

Lu Ke shook his head lightly and repeated again, "I need to return to the arena." That unwavering tone left no room for manoeuvre or compromise.

He needs to be on the field again, he needs to win this game for himself, he needs to win this game for Ryan, he needs to start this title defense journey with Ryan's promise and dream, he needs to summon the golden ocean at the Cindebrium Stadium again! It's a pact between them!

He knew what he was facing, he knew the risks he was experiencing, and he knew what his impulsiveness really meant, and no one knew it better than himself. His willfulness and impulsiveness are a sign of irresponsibility.

But, sometimes in life you just need to give it a go, don't you? There are some things, even if you know they are wrong, but you still have to try to see them. And there are some things that you know are right, but you still can't do them after all. If everything in life should be organized by reason and rules, then he should not continue to insist on playing rugby in the first place, then he would not be standing here now, and all the controversy would not exist at all.

In this game, there is one more promise waiting for him to fulfill! That's why he's standing on this field, that's why he's able to live his dreams, that's why they've been able to win the Super Bowl, that's why they're a unique team! He needs to keep going! He needs to keep fighting! For Ryan's sake, and for himself!

They're warriors, aren't they?

Lu Ke raised his head, stared at Trent with an unwavering gaze, and repeated the same words again without refuting it, and the categorical words burst out with a sonorous sound, stirring in the corridor, "I need to get back to the arena!" ”

Trent opened his mouth, but found that all the words were stuck in his throat, he couldn't make a sound at all, and he couldn't even react at all, Lu Ke standing in front of him was so familiar but so unfamiliar, he couldn't help but start to boil with blood, but he still strongly suppressed that impulse, turned his head to look at Walter, and cast an inquiring look.

No matter how Lu Ke supported it, Trent needed Walter's approval.

Walter caught a resolute and resolute sparkle in those eyes, and all the justifications and dissuasions stayed on his lips. Under Lu Ke's gaze, Walter nodded slowly.

Who can really sort out reason and emotion? Intellectually, last year's San Francisco 49ers couldn't have made it to the Super Bowl, but they did; According to reason, they should be on the safe side this season and let Lu Ke continue to rest in order to defend their title, but ...... But Walter had no way to refuse-what's more, at least judging from the current situation, Lu Ke's injury was no longer a big problem.

However, before nodding, Walter regretted it, "However, you need to bandage your knee well, and you must never get hurt again." "Although this sentence is just empty words, standing on the court, who can guarantee that they will not get injured?

Lu Ke showed a bright smile, with a little bitterness and loneliness in the brightness, "Yes, I know." It's for the sake of victory and glory, so how could I let myself get hurt? What's more, we have an ultimate goal of defending the title waiting for us. I'll take care of myself. ”

Until this journey reaches its peak, he will definitely not give up easily! Fighting endlessly, this is the core spirit that has achieved them! At the same time, it is also his firm belief that has come all the way to the present!

Trent thought that he would be happy, Lu Ke was about to appear again, and victory seemed to be possible again, but he found that he couldn't be happy at all, and the thick worry surged, and the whole person became anxious again, even more anxious than when he learned that Lu Ke was injured, "Bambi, are you sure?" ”

"Yes." Lu Ke replied crisply, loudly.

Trent stared at Lu Ke, he knew he should refuse, it was his job - when the quarterback was headstrong, he should be the one to stand up and stop it; But at this time, the words of rejection kept swirling on the tip of the tongue, but they couldn't say anything. For the first time, Trent realized that the San Francisco 49-man team was now deeply imprinted with Lu Ke's imprint, and that stubbornness and madness were shining.

……

Walter knelt on one knee and was bandaging Lu Ke's knee, but now he was already regretting it, and couldn't help but start muttering, "You have to be careful, you know?" Bambi, the team is without you, and Kaepernick, they can still function, you are not Superman and you are not the Suns; What's more, the team has been missing this win all season and there are fifteen other games waiting for us, how can you be so impulsive? It's irrational, it's not like you! ”

"Walter, Ryan is dead." Lu Ke said calmly.

Walter raised his head suddenly, stared at Lu Ke in a daze, and opened his mouth involuntarily, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all, just stared at Lu Ke in disbelief, and then found a resolute light in those eyes, and got an affirmative answer. He slowly closed his mouth, expending all his strength to digest the news, but still unable to hide his shock.

A thousand words, just like that, stay on the tip of the tongue.

"When you get on the pitch, you have to be careful not to force yourself to run with the ball, and you'd rather fall to the ground and protect the ball than get carried away. Also, if your left knee isn't feeling well, feel free to tell me and I'll be watching from the sidelines at all times, okay? We are a team, you fight on the field, I stand on the sidelines and fight with you! ”
