"Buzz."

"Buzz."

Lu Ke's footsteps left the press conference site, and there was a noisy sound of chirping behind him, which is now getting smaller and smaller with the slow closing of the door, and finally most of them disappeared behind the door panel, just because the stadium is too old, the sound insulation effect of the door panel is not perfect, and the vibration can still be faintly felt in the corridor, and the noise is slightly ringing.

It is only now that the real feeling of the game, the real feeling of victory, and the real feeling of returning from injury have gradually become clear, and after the all-out game state is lifted, the muscle soreness and physical exertion are reminding me all the time that the victory in this game is far from being as easy as the score seems.

For fans and the team, this is the first time Lu Ke has suffered a serious injury, and he missed three games due to injury, all of which give this game special significance; The same is true for Lu Ke, but in addition, this is the first time that Lu Ke has faced such a major test alone after getting the rugby superstar system, from injuries to Watt, he finally relied on his own ability to complete the game, and with the help of his teammates, he won the final victory, this game is naturally of great significance.

That real feeling filled the entire chest, making Lu Ke feel unprecedented steadfastness.

Back in the locker room, Jim Hubble could be seen pacing in the doorway, "Coach! Lu Ke's call made Hubble raise his head suddenly, his expression was a little flustered, he was not good at hiding his emotions, he seemed to be a little nervous at this time, and the apprehension between his expressions became more and more obvious.

“…… Bambi! Hubble was stunned, looked left and right, his movements were a little exaggerated, and he seemed to be saying: Are you calling me?

But the problem is that now in the corridor at the door of the locker room, there are only two people, Hubble and Lu Ke, Lu Ke is not calling Hubble, who else can it be?

Lu Ke didn't expose Hubble's pompous performance, the coach still wants to save face, "Coach, why are you still here?" ”

Hubble is not good at dealing with locker room problems, if it is not necessary, he is not willing to stay in the locker room, getting along with the players always seems awkward and jerky, after the game, whether it is victory or defeat, Hubble is in a hurry to come and go, but today he still stays at the door of the locker room, which is really abnormal.

"Oh. Oh! At first, Hubble hadn't reacted yet, and seemed to wonder why Lu Ke asked such a question, and he was half a beat slower, and then he came back to his senses, "I...... I'm waiting for Walter, yes, Walter, a couple of players have some injury problems, yes, Justin and Patrick, some minor injuries, but I need to understand the situation, you know, the next game is against the Cardinals and we need to prepare in advance. ”

The speech was a little incoherent, and it went around in a big circle, and there was nothing - the injury problem in the defensive group has been there since last season and has always been there; There were no major problems in this game, so naturally there was no need to pay special attention.

Hubble's performance is really abnormal, and his acting skills are really bad, he can't bear to look at it directly, as if he is witnessing the scene of the hurricane disaster, Lu Ke can't bear it.

Fortunately, Hubble also seemed to realize this, quickly ended his "performance", and looked at Lu Ke again, "How do you feel now?" I mean, physical and energetic aspects? If necessary, you should not participate in the training sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, and take a good rest and adjust. ”

Hubble is still not used to such expressions and contents, and his words are a little stiff, but he can't hide the concern behind them.

As head coach, Hubble knows better than anyone how important Lu Ke is to this team. This is true both tactically and mentally, and it is clear to look at the performance of this team on the pitch today, compared to the last three weeks, it is completely new, and it has regained its focus and rhythm.

It has always been said that the San Francisco 49ers lack top stars, and Patrick Willis is the most well-known big name on the team; But now, Lu Ke is becoming the irreplaceable backbone of the whole team, and he is still a player who has grown up side by side with Hubble, which is even more extraordinary for Hubble.

Hubble needs Lu Ke to stand on the field and lead this team to continue fighting.

So, Hubble appeared at the door of the locker room, waiting for Lu Ke's return, and expressed his concern in person.

But this is not the area where Hubble excels, and the stiff and wooden words seem a little clumsy.

Lu Ke felt the surprise, and his brain couldn't react a little, as if he was suddenly stuffed with a ball of raw rice, and he could chew it, but it was really not an easy task, and his teeth were flustered, "Yes, I feel good, there is no problem." After a slight pause, he added, "I'll check in with Walter and see if I can participate in Tuesday's recovery training." ”

Hubble stood still, nodding his head in understanding.

The topic came to an end for the time being, and neither of them continued to speak, and the air suddenly fell silent.

Hubble was a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and broke the silence, "That's good, you discuss with Walter first, and then inform me if there is any situation." ”

Silent. One second, two seconds.

"It was a very good game today!" Hubble added.

"Thank you." Lu Ke replied. Usually in private, Hubble and Lu Ke don't have much opportunity to talk; And now, Hubble's jerkiness and embarrassment have also infected Lu Ke - just now he was still feeling that he had gotten rid of the help of the system and stepped through another difficulty, and then in the face of the head coach's sudden shyness and woodenness, Lu Ke also said that he was a little confused.

Lu Ke felt that he needed to save the scene.

"I mean ......"

"Then I'll ......"

Lu Ke and Hubble started at the same time, interfering with each other, and then both of them stopped, and the air was quiet again.

Hubble paused for a moment, then said, "Then I'll go back to the meeting first, today's game summary meeting is still waiting for me." The words were even a little eager, and then he nodded and turned away.

Despite Hubble's efforts to control his pace and act unhurried and unhurried, his hasty pace betrayed a hint of panic and disappeared at the end of the hallway almost in the blink of an eye, and the footsteps faded away, and then the hallway was quiet again.

Lu Ke couldn't help but support his forehead, the embarrassment index just now should have created a historical record.

Hubble's concerns, however, are genuine. An unexpected injury can be the trigger for the locker room to fall apart, and it can also be a turning point for the team to regain momentum, but at the end of the day, it depends on how the manager and dressing room leaders handle it, which is what a strong team must go through.

Lu Ke didn't stay where he was, turned around and pushed open the door of the locker room.

At this time, the locker room was filled with cheerful laughter, the sound of joking with each other, and there was no big celebration - after all, it was just a regular season game, but the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere was surging in the locker room, and the layers of dark clouds hanging over the head finally began to dissipate.

"Hey, Bambi, the reporter let you back so quickly today? Unusual. I thought it wouldn't be possible without thirty minutes. Frank Gower stood at the door of the locker room, saw Lu Ke at a glance, and joked with a relaxed expression.

Lu Ke said with a smile, "I think they are a little disappointed with the result of today's game. "Reporters are certainly looking forward to a tighter scoreline, a closer game, and if the San Francisco 49ers lose again, it will be even more exciting - even if Lu Ke returns, it will still not be able to save the defending champions, and the focus of the discussion in the coming week will not be worry.

Gower was affected by Lu Ke's positive optimism and laughed along.

Thinking about today's game, thinking about the press conference, and thinking about Hubble's reaction just now, Lu Ke paused slightly, and then walked to the center of the locker room, looked around, and shouted, "Guys, be quiet!" Can you give me a moment? Hey, guys! ”

"Roar, Bambi has something to say!" Joe Stein called out loudly in a subdued stand-up comedy tone, and then everyone in the locker room followed suit, which made Lu Ke laugh too.

The commotion gradually subsided, and all the eyes of the entire locker room were projected towards Lu Ke, and without too many words, everyone stayed focused, temporarily stopped the movements in their hands, and also temporarily laughed and scolded, and quietly waited for Lu Ke's actions. This is now Lu Ke's prestige in the team's locker room.

"We all know that defending the title is not an easy task, although we won today's game, but there is a long season that awaits us even harder and more difficult, it is too early to defend the title, we don't have the time or the capital to think about things so far away; We need to focus on what is in front of us and finish game by game. ”

"But if it's easy to defend the title, it's not a challenge! I would say that it was never easy in the NFL, and no one believed that we could achieve a perfect season because no team ever did; Now, the same is true for defending the title. ”

"So, no matter what thorns and bumps in front of me, no matter what cliffs and cliffs are in front of me, no matter what swords, mountains and fires in front of me, I am ready for an all-out war! I'm sure we'll be able to make it to the end because I'm not fighting alone, I have some of the best teammates in the world by my side! We used to work miracles, but now miracles must be put in the back of our minds, starting from scratch and looking forward to creating a whole new miracle! ”

"I believe in us! Because we are ......"

In the midst of Lu Ke's rising impassionedness, the locker room shouted in unison, "Nine people! ”

Lu Ke's determined gaze fell on his teammates one by one, and he shouted in a higher voice, "We are!" ”

"Warrior!" The sound of roaring and roaring reverberated in the locker room.

A two-win, three-loss start to the season, so what? They will fight all the way to the last minute and create a new miracle of their own!
