The navy blue sofa sits on a colourful Turkish carpet with a few burgundy, dark grey and ginger cushion pillows; In the center is a dark brown log table, neatly placed with a humidor, and freshly cut cigar heads can be seen in the ashtray next to it.

The dark brown log wine cabinet in the left corner immediately steals the view, and the array of bottles, from whiskey to tequila, is a bit busy; In the glass cabinet next to it, there are different types of wine glasses, which are used to drink different types and styles of alcohol.

Jerry Jones expertly walked over to the wine cabinet and opened the wooden door panel below, revealing the Xiaoice crate inside, "Are you sure you only need mineral water?" If anyone else knows that you came to Lorne's VIP room and only drank a bottle of mineral water, they will regret you. ”

"Someone next to me directly pointed out, 'That's a professional player,' and then everyone would collectively show a boring and boring expression, as if they had long been surprised." Lu Ke didn't mean to change his mind, and said with a smile, his steps were a little hesitant - such a VIP room is usually impossible to enter.

Lu Ke then added jokingly, "I'm more worried about whether it would be too rude if there was no mineral water here." ”

"Huh. Do you know? I like your character. Jerry did not continue to advise, took out a bottle of mineral water from the Xiaoice box, and a water cup, and handed it to Lu Ke together, "Some people like to rinse their mouths with mineral water to ensure their oral sensitivity before tasting different types of alcohol; Some people use mineral water to dilute the taste of alcohol, so there is always mineral water and ice cubes available. ”

Jerry found a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass, before turning around, "It seems that you don't have any special love for alcohol." ”

Lu Ke did not answer directly, but jokingly said, "I think that the team owner still prefers his players to stay away from off-field interference factors." ”

Jerry laughed cheerfully, "But people are always contradictory. On the one hand, I hope that my players are pure/apostol, and on the other hand, I hope that my players are not so rigid. I guess everybody is greedy and always expects more, a little more, a little more, what do you think? ”

"Maybe. But I'm guessing that everyone expects something differently. After seeing Jerry coming over, Lu Ke sat down on the sofa and expressed the courtesy of the guests.

Jerry sat down comfortably, and even crossed Erlang's legs, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, enjoying the glow of the amber liquid flowing, "Oh? How so? ”

"Some people expect money, some people look for honor, some people look for freedom, some people look for emotion, some people look for awe and worship, some people look forward to power. Maybe everyone does expect to have more, but the content and object of expectation are different, which creates a different way of life. I guess so. Lu Ke said with a smile.

To be honest, Lu Ke was a little uncomfortable.

Not because of socialization, but because of the environment. The environment of the whole VIP room is too grand and too formal, and the corners and corners reveal a sense of luxury, seemingly casual but exquisite everywhere; What's more, Jerry chose such an occasion, which looks like a feast, and people can't help but speculate about his true purpose.

From the beginning of joining the league, Lech Steinberg was responsible for all of Lu Ke's social and public relations work, ensuring that Lu Ke could devote himself wholeheartedly to the game and training; But today, Jerry intercepted Lu Ke alone, and all aspects revealed the atmosphere of preparation in advance, which was indeed uncomfortable.

However, Lu Ke's forte lies in dealing with all kinds of unexpected situations, as a journalism student and later as a professional footballer. Although the current situation was not what Lu Ke was good at, he still quickly calmed down - the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth.

Jerry pursed the corners of his mouth, revealing the temperament of a superior who is as stable as Mount Tai all over his body, and the gap in the annual rings is still inevitably revealed at this moment, "Oh? So what are you looking forward to? ”

"If I answered 'respect,' wouldn't that be a little more textured?" Lu Ke's answer made Jerry laugh heartily.

Jerry nodded in agreement, "I like the answer." So, what about your real answer? Speaking out, we can compare and see. ”

"Champion." Lu Ke said calmly.

Jerry raised his glass and saluted with a bright face, "Wow, I like this answer even more, let's raise a glass to the champion!" ”

Lu Ke also raised the mineral water in his cup high and responded.

"I also like championships. I love champions! More precisely, crazy about it! It seems that we can at least reach a consensus beyond alcohol. Jerry's eyes flashed with wisdom and cunning, "Well, I wonder if you'd like to come to Dallas to play for us?" ”

Here it comes!

Strictly speaking, this cannot be said to be an accident.

Come to think of it, Jerry Jones has been laying the groundwork since the signing ceremony of Rolex a long time ago, watching the San Francisco 49ers many times before and after, and not long ago he appeared directly on the Super Bowl stage.

What is really surprising is that Jerry chose "Saturday Night Live" to start the first contact, and it has to be said that it is a lot of scheming-

First, Lech was not by his side to ensure that Jerry could talk directly with Lu Ke and skip the agent's link; Second, even Lu Ke himself was caught off guard, and it was even more difficult for other industry insiders to notice, and with Lorne Michaels in charge, the news was not easy to leak.

In this way, it not only ensures that Jerry can show sincerity in person, but also does not cause a storm in the city.

Even Jerry Jones, who has to be afraid of the three-point shot, is really not trivial.

Jerry Jones was born in a remote town in Arkansas, his family was not poor but not wealthy, but he barely managed to run a small supermarket to make a living, and he learned the business skills from hearing and seeing.

After graduating from high school, he attended the University of Arkansas and joined the football team. From running back to offensive guard, from bench to captain, and led the team to the national championship in 1964; At the same time, while other college classmates are splurging their lives, Jerry is also working three part-time jobs off the court, and he also starts to learn to buy insurance, and by the way, he catches up with Miss Arkansas.

After graduating from college, Jerry put his football dreams on hold and, at the suggestion of his father, began a business of borrowing money, buying land, drilling wells, and finding oil fields, and after surviving the hardships of making ends meet, he finally dug into the oil fields, and sold his company for $175 million in 1986, which made the first major turning point in his life.

In 1989, Jerry bought the Dallas Cowboys with all his belongings, and his appearance reversed the fixed concept of the entire league about the image of the team owner and the business operation. Moreover, the keen sense of business speculation has also extended from the oil fields to the rugby field, and all the methods of doing business have changed drastically.

All of this has made Jerry controversial.

Nearly three decades later, in 2018, the Dallas Cowboys became the first team in the world to surpass a commercial value of more than $5 billion.

Like Jerry or not, it's undeniable that he changed the fate of the Dallas Cowboys, and the fate of the entire football league.

Lu Ke didn't know much about business, but vaguely, he could still feel Jerry's wisdom bead in his hands, "I don't think it's a good idea." ”

Lu Ke did not hesitate, shook his head slightly, and gave a negative answer.

"Oh? Why? Jerry didn't seem surprised at all, but asked with great interest, "Because of Tony?" I know you and Tony are good friends. ”

"No, not because of Tony." Lu Ke chuckled, "It's because my tactical style doesn't quite match Jason." Honestly, I don't think Jason would want to see me show up. ”

Jason-Garrett, head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

In the past two seasons, Lu Ke has been able to shine, and his on-the-spot performance and strength improvement are undoubtedly important factors, and they can also be said to be the primary factors; But in addition, Jim Hubble is also a factor that cannot be ignored, and the West Coast tactical system perfectly fits Lu Ke's style, as well as Hubble's unconditional trust and gambling style, which has become a necessary condition.

It's important that the quarterback's style of play fits into the head coach's playbook, especially in the NFL arena, where playbooks are emphasized. Even the elite four quarterbacks are no exception.

Jason Garrett was a typical cowboy player who was drafted in the 1989 draft, then went around the special service teams of different teams, joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1992 and became a backup to Troy Aikman — the top pick in the 1989 draft and won two Super Bowls with the team, and after a few years on the transfer in 1999, he officially announced his retirement in 2004.

After retiring as a quarterback, Jason spent two years with the Miami Dolphins, then officially returned to the Dallas Cowboys in 2007 as an offensive coach for three and a half years, then became a trainee head coach in 2010 and became a full-time coach in 2011.

Jason's legacy of belonging to the Cowboys can be felt in every way.

In fact, the Dallas Cowboys are also a West Coast offensive system, but there are still many differences with the San Francisco 49ers, Jason Garrett and Jim Hubble are two styles of head coaches.

After Lu Ke teased, he then said, "However, Tony is bound to be the object that needs to be considered, I think you still trust Tony now." ”
