In the American League final, the Baltimore Ravens played against the New England Patriots.

In the National League final, the San Francisco 49ers faced the Atlanta Falcons.

The raging fires of the playoffs are getting more and more intense, and the eyes of the United States are focused on the NFL federation championship game, and the analysis of the power of the four teams is flying in the sky, and professional analysts, senior coaches or players, and neutral fans who are gearing up are beginning to join the feast:

Will the Patriots be able to break into the Super Bowl for two years in a row? The Ravens are in poor overall form this year, can they continue their luck in the divisional round? How much success does the Ravens defensive group still have, and will they be able to suppress the Patriots' offensive group that has improved their offensive strength this season? Will the Patriots defense hold back and put the team in a tough battle again?

Will the 49ers be able to make up for last year's regrets this year? A lack of experience and luck led them to the Nations League final last year, but will they be able to go one step further this year? The Falcons went head-to-head with the 49ers in the first half of the season, and now they are finally about to go head-to-head, so how much strength and level can the Falcons offensive team show?

From the players to the team, from the coach to the logistics, from the strength to the form...... There are countless buzzing spots, wave after wave, and all eyes are on it, and the different win-loss relationships of the four teams can lead to different combinations of Super Bowl belligerents, and people's expectations continue to rise!

Among them, the potential matchup of the New England Patriots VS San Francisco 49ers is undoubtedly the most topical, which does not mean that the game is the most intense and exciting, or the strength is the closest to the most tangled, or the matchup is the best to watch and suspense, but because the matchup of "Brady VS Lu Ke" is really too topical.

One is one of the signature quarterbacks of the last decade of low-pick drafting, and the other is one of the biggest regrets missed by the draft since the turn of the millennium.

One is one of the most commercially valuable brand quarterbacks in the current league, and the other is one of the new generation quarterbacks with the most market appeal in the future league.

One is one of the current elite quarterbacks and one is one of the potential elite quarterbacks alternates.

With such a confrontation between two players almost a head-to-head duel between the two mountains of the league, how can people not be excited and not look forward to it?

The "elite quarterback" matchup, which sparked discussion before the divisional break, is now starting to rekindle hope, and if Brady and Lu Ke can meet on the Super Bowl stage, it will surely detonate the ratings frenzy.

Although the other three matchups are also full of countless highlights, each of which may be enough to make the blood boil; But if you just discuss the intensity of the topic of the duel, this group can easily explode!

The divisional competition has just come to an end, and the federation finals have already hit the heat wave! Even the news programs of the four major public television stations couldn't wait to cast their attention, pushing the momentum of the nation's No. 1 sport to a new high/tide, and every move of the four teams became the object of attention, but Lu Ke quietly left the public eye.

"Wait a minute, I'll pull over."

Lu Ke shouted at the mobile phone with the speaker turned on, and then slowly parked the car in the parking space on the side of the road, waited for a moment on the other end of the phone, noticed that the engine roar stopped, and the sound of ridicule and complaining sounded, "Don't tell me, you are still a rookie, and you need to be careful even when parking." ”

"You can come to San Francisco and try to see the parking, I promise, it's a lot more difficult than Houston." Lu Ke complained back without showing weakness, because the whole city of San Francisco is on a hill, and steep slopes can be seen everywhere, and parking is indeed difficult; At the same time, he glanced across the street through the window, "I haven't seen the target yet, you can wait, let's say, you made a special call, it shouldn't be to complain about my parking skills, right?" ”

Lu Ke had some personal matters to deal with this afternoon, and drove out of the house, and when he was about to arrive at his destination, he received a call from a friend, and then they began to complain to each other without saying a word - the person on the other end of the phone at this time was JJ Watt, the defensive end of the Houston Texans who has delivered a top-level performance this season.

"I just called you specifically to congratulate you. Yesterday's game was really good and your tactical set-up really made it difficult for the players in the defensive line. Watt is still the same Watt, three sentences without leaving the line, only two sentences complained, and then went back to the topic of sports.

Lu Ke has long been accustomed to it, and chuckled, "It's rare to be so praised by the No. 1 defensive end in the future league, I'm a little excited." There was laughter on the other end of the line, "So, if it were you, how would you defend yourself?" ”

"Keep pressing." Watt didn't skimp on his own opinions, saying without hesitation, "In fact, your blind side has come a long way this season, and the work of Joe Stanley and Mike Ruppati is truly admirable; Comparatively, your right side is a bit weaker, mainly Anthony Davis. ”

"Oh? What about Alex Boone? Lu Ke asked with great interest - he and Watt are also half a catty, just now I was still thinking about Watt's three sentences and never leaving the line, but he himself turned out to be the same.

"Boone's performance has been underestimated in the league and his improvement this season has been remarkable. I think he's outstanding. Unfortunately, Anthony Davis was hampered by injuries and couldn't keep up with the pace a bit, which led to Boone having to take on more pressure and a lot of the time he couldn't pull his breath. "If it were me, I'd break through from your right and keep pressing, and your passing options would be narrower." ”

Lu Ke gently retracted his chin to show understanding, "So, is this how you dealt with Tom Brady?" ”

"Ouch." Watt also exclaimed "It hurts", which made Lu Ke laugh loudly, "Man, can we still be friends?" My wound is still hurting, and you just stepped on it mercilessly? That's unkind! ”

The Houston Texans' loss to the New England Patriots was just forty-eight hours ago, and after a whole season, it came to an abrupt end, bitterness and loss were inevitable.

For Watt in particular, the season has finally reached the top of his game, surpassing his classmate von Miller to become the leader of the second-year defensive team and injecting life into the Houston Texans defensive team, but the poor performance in the division was a huge disappointment, and the whole season came to an abrupt end.

But Lu Ke himself has experienced it, and he knows that no words can alleviate that frustration, and even comfort has become hateful. Watt went through it once last year, and after going through it again this year, things won't get better, but at least they won't be in a hurry again.

In the face of Watt's "accusation", Lu Ke said seriously, "So, are you seeking comfort now?" Do you need to come over to my brother and lend you a shoulder to lean on? You know, I don't mind. ”

Watt opened his mouth helplessly, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only smile dumbly, "Your shoulders should be reserved for those in need." I am fine! I am fine! He repeated it twice, emphasizing his position, and then quickly moved on to business, before he forgot about it, "I made a special call to you, just to ask, if the 49ers enter the Super Bowl, your player box invitation is not full, right?" ”

"If you are not worried about the scandal and speculation that you are about to transfer to our team, the VIP box will definitely leave a seat for you in advance, and you are welcome at any time!" Lu Ke teased with a smile.

Watt chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm still ready to stay in Texan." Maybe we'll meet on the Super Bowl stage next year? I don't have any interest in 49. ”

"Your loss." Lu Ke complained, "If everything goes well, Stephen will also come over." But you're so confident in me? Convinced that I'm going to make it to the Super Bowl together? ”

"That's because your opponent isn't me." Watt said confidently, "So, I can only support you." That being said, Watt's words reveal unwavering confidence and conviction in his friend's victory!

"Meet next season in the regular season and I promise you'll regret what you said today." Lu Ke also retorted without showing weakness, and there was no problem with friends and opponents off the field.

As he spoke, he saw that the person he was waiting for had appeared, but Lu Ke still didn't hang up the phone in a hurry, but continued solemnly, "When the season is over, do you want to gather together to watch the game video of the divisional competition?" I mean, if you coaching staff don't mind. ”

In fact, all the 32 team game videos are public, the difference is only in the first perspective and the third perspective, even if the opponent sits together to watch the game video, the impact is not fundamental; What's more, at the end of the season, each team's playbook will be changed, and the footage of last season's matches will be re-watched, which will be even more irrelevant.

The subtext of Lu Ke's invitation is that they can sit together and analyze each other's video of the Houston Texans' loss to the New England Patriots, interpret it from different angles of offense and defense, and also read it from a third perspective, which is an important help for the preparation of the new season.

It's just that the offseason hasn't started yet, and it is estimated that there are not many in the entire league like Lu Ke and Watt who arrange training content in advance.

"Okay, no problem." Watt immediately understood what Lu Ke meant, this is what Lu Ke expressed comfort and support in his way, which is exactly what Watt needs. "Prepare for the game! It's up to you this week. Matt Ryan has been in excellent form this season and should not be taken lightly. ”

After saying that, the two of them didn't say much more to each other, and then hung up the phone.

Lu Ke didn't stay too long, put his phone in his pocket, pushed the car door, and walked straight towards "Joe's Bar" across the street.
