"Come on! Cheer up! Come on, come on, come on! ”

"Cheer up! The battle goes on! Did you hear that? The battle goes on! ”

"We are warriors! We don't give up easily! ”

"Victory is ours!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! ”

The bustling cheering sound echoed over the training base in Candlestick Park, and the loyal and dedicated nine people, even on weekdays, will never miss the open training session, and appear at the training base in person, cheering for the team and players with their own practical actions, looking forward to the team being able to return to the winning track.

Chris Wilson was one of them, he shook his fists vigorously and shouted excitedly at the players who passed by quickly, but the young players lowered their heads one by one, stared at their toes, and walked into the training base in a dull and depressed manner, without any response; Only a few veterans such as Patrick Willis and Justin Smith nodded at them in a friendly manner, but they didn't say anything more, and entered the training ground in a blink of an eye.

Not only the players, but even Chris himself was no exception, behind the shouts there was always a feeling of emptiness and panic, the whole person seemed listless, and just a few minutes of support seemed to have consumed all his physical strength and energy.

Dull.

The whole atmosphere was extraordinarily dull, not just for the players, but also for the fans.

At this time, Cliff Hart was still energetically waving the "King of the Bay Area" flag, setting off a golden sunshine in the rising morning light, waving in front of him, the bright red is stirring up a piece of fresh life, tirelessly calling for the high fighting spirit that belongs to this team and this land.

But it still didn't help.

The whole team is looking dull up and down, and the players and fans are doing their best to train, play and win; However, that oppressive sense of distress has always lingered-

It was as if on a hot summer afternoon, the hot air in the room was completely frozen in place, motionless, so dull that people were almost suffocating, so they simply pushed open the window, only to find that there was no light breeze, only the endless cicada chirping mixed with a strong and viscous heat wave, slowly climbing up the skin, clogging the pores little by little, the feeling of suffocation not only did not ease, but also became more and more obvious, even if you open your mouth and breathe heavily, it still seems that you can't catch the presence of oxygen.

They are all trying, but with little success.

Not only because of Lu Ke's injury, which led to the replacement of the main quarterback, but also because Lu Ke's absence also took away the team's tenacity and perseverance. The whole game has become very different, and the significance of spiritual leadership has exceeded the weight of tactical and technical aspects.

In the past two seasons, Lu Ke has left a far more imprint on this team than imagined!

On social media platforms, the hashtag "Waiting for Bambi" has begun to spread, not because they miss the taste of victory, but because the team without Lu Ke has become unfamiliar, and fans have begun to miss the team that has to hold its head high even if it loses.

"Waiting for Bambi", this seems to have become the common thought of all nine people.

It's not fair to Kaepernick, it's not fair to the other players, but the reality is so cruel. Without Lu Ke, the San Francisco 49ers still won the unwavering support of the nine, they were still cheering and cheering, they were still doing their best, but the suffocation caused by the strangeness lingered, so that they began to panic.

They missed Lu Ke like never before.

"Whew, whew......" Cliff wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the usual excitement and excitement in his expression gradually calmed down, and asked with a worried face, "I thought I could take a breath from this week's competition, but is there really no problem with the current training state?" Texans are not a soft persimmon. ”

Usually, the public training sessions were lively, and their conversations were extremely hard, and they had to be hoarse to complete the message; Today, the public training session was a bit dull and depressed, and they could stand there calmly and finish the conversation at a normal volume.

The details of all aspects change to make the sense of uneasiness and emptiness in the depths of my heart expand little by little.

In the fifth week of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers will play at home against the Houston Texans.

In the past two seasons, both teams have exploded after years of silence, reaching the playoffs for the second year in a row, and the all-out explosion on the offensive and defensive ends has made them the absolute dominance of their own division, and the overall development curve has shown a rapid upward momentum, which really has many similarities.

Lu Ke and Watt, who were also drafted in 2011, have become the core figures of their respective teams, and the offensive group led by Lu Ke and the defensive group led by Watt have become the key to the team's continuous victory; The private friendship between the two players also made the relationship between the two teams quite close - in the 2011 professional Bowl, many players from both teams left for Hawaii together.

Originally, this was supposed to be a strong matchup between the National League West champion and the American League South champion last season, but this season, both teams have fallen into varying degrees of predicament, San Francisco naturally needless to say, and Houston has also fallen into a certain slump, and the current record is two wins and two losses, first two consecutive wins and then two consecutive defeats, they also urgently need a victory to stabilize the team's situation.

Chris didn't speak.

Jeff Locke, who was standing next to him, took over the conversation, "Since last season, I've been looking forward to 'Lu Ke VS Watt', and this matchup must be very, very good." But now......" Jeff himself didn't notice, and he let out a sigh, "the defensive team led by Watt will not show mercy. They also need a win. ”

Danny Reese immediately let out a wail, "I don't know when Bambi will be able to return." Ahhh It's really annoying to be in such a state now! ”

Cliff nodded in agreement, "I feel as if the weather is not quite right now, and I only carry the flag to support for a short time, and I feel that I can't breathe, and I always feel that summer is not over yet." Sensing Noah Parker's eyes ready to complain, Chris took the initiative to justify, "I know I know, everything is psychological, I mean it." ”

Still, Noah added, "Summer in San Francisco is over, and it's fall." In fact, even autumn is coming to an end. ”

"Bambi!" Suddenly, a voice sounded next to him.

Cliff casually said, "I know you miss Bambi, we all miss Bambi. By the way, the hashtag 'Waiting for Bambi' on Twitter, did you see that......"

"I mean, Bambi showed up!" Chris interrupted Cliff's words and raised his voice to speak, his voice couldn't help but start to tremble slightly, "Bambi, Bambi looks really good right now!" Is it my delusion? Wait, can anyone tell me, is it my delusion? Why do I think Bambi's left knee seems to be fine? ”

"Chris!" Jeff couldn't help but scold, his voice trembled uncontrollably, some anticipation and some rejection, some excitement and some fear, the feeling of gain and loss made him unable to continue thinking, lest Chris's words would shatter the wonderful dream in front of him.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Jeff couldn't help but cool himself down now.

In fact, after last week's game against the Indianapolis Colts, Lu Ke had already returned to the training court during Tuesday's recovery training session.

However, at that time, Lu Ke's left knee was still heavily protected, and he did not carry out ball training or team training, but only conducted simple basic training around the field, which was more restorative. But overall, Lu Ke's recovery looks good, and the impact of his left knee is barely visible, which makes all nine people start to get excited.

Could it be that Lu Ke is about to appear against the St. Louis Rams?

But the outcome was already known - all the hopeful nine were disappointed, and Hubble, after careful consideration, chose Kaepernick at the last moment, allowing Lu Ke to continue the truce and give him an extra week of rest and recovery.

Honestly, this was not an unexpected result.

Fans also hope that Lu Ke can recuperate well and not be in a hurry, otherwise he will rush on the field before the injury is healed, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable; What's more, the previous diagnosis said that Lu Ke must recuperate for two to four weeks - if he appears against the St. Louis Rams, this also means that Lu Ke has only recuperated for two weeks, and the situation is still full of unknowns.

For the sake of safety, it is a wise choice to let Lu Ke continue to rest and recover.

But...... The truth is the truth, and disappointment is inevitable. Especially when the team lost away to the St. Louis Rams and lost the advantage in consecutive divisional battles, which made the Nine more and more sluggish.

Today, Lu Ke reappeared at the training base.

At this time, Lu Ke, who appeared in front of him, was wearing a simple gray sportswear, a red baseball cap, and a black sports equipment bag on one shoulder, revealing a sense of ease and pleasure all over his body, his left knee was not wearing any protection, and he could not see any impact during the walking process, and his brisk and steady pace of progress released a positive signal, as if he was ...... He was completely healed.

Hope was quietly ignited, but they were honestly afraid, afraid that their urgency would be disappointed again, and they really could not bear the second disappointment.

"Hey, good morning." From a distance, Lu Ke saw the familiar faces of the fans, and greeted him with a smile.

No one spoke, just waved quietly.

Chris only felt his mouth dry, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked nervously and apprehensively, "Bambi, will you play in this week's game?" ”
