Patrick Peterson sat on a bench next to the pitch and watched the pitch in silence.

The San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals players have all left the court, and most of the home fans have left one after another, leaving a few fans and spectators in the stands, sitting in despair.

There was no anger or sorrow, it was lifeless, and it didn't feel any life, and the raging wind brought large goosebumps on the surface of the skin, and I couldn't help but shiver.

How did all this happen?

Patrick tried to figure out the ins and outs of the whole game, even if the two teams are in different form at the moment, but the score is not so far apart, it was a complete slaughter, a crushing slaughter, and a river of blood is not enough to describe the situation on the scene today.

But he failed, his brain was a blur, and his memories of the game were fragmented and fragmented, unable to be fully organized, let alone recalled coherently as a whole, as if ...... It's like in a boxing title fight, and the opponent comes on the ring with a heavyweight combination punch, and then all memories are gone.

He looked down at his jersey, number 21, but for the first time, he felt that he didn't deserve it.

As the fifth overall pick in the first round of last year's draft, Peterson played as a cornerback in his rookie season, and despite his relatively limited playing time, he was still one of the best rookie defensive players of all, after von Miller, JJ Watt, Aldon Smith, and then he-

Patrick Peterson.

He's not as flamboyant and arrogant as Richard Sherman, but he's always believed that he has the right and the ability to be the best cornerback in the league, even when facing passes from the elite four quarterbacks, let alone rookie quarterbacks.

Last season, his first meeting with Lu Ke proved that, with two interceptions being the turning point of the game, and the Cardinals also beat the 49ers on the road, breaking their season unbeaten home record.

The rookie quarterback wasn't as good as the legend suggests, he never worried about that, he always believed that he could beat the other team, he always believed that he was the better player; Sure enough, the process and result of the game also proved his conjecture, everything has been magnified countless times after being rendered by the media, and they have to cross the water and water again before they can capture the truth of the facts.

Everything is so beautiful.

The fragments of those memories resurfaced in his mind, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise; But the focus was reunited, and I saw the desolation and loneliness of the chicken feathers on the scene again, and the coldness of reality invaded, and how sweet the memories were, the reality became doubly bitter, so that the smiles became painful.

Above the stadium stands, the huge score board is still flickering, like the neon that is gradually charming under the night, and it continues to flicker in the dark blue sky that is slowly shrouded, and that set of data is so conspicuous and bright that it stings the eyes.

“0：55”。

A seemingly meaningless set of numbers, cold and mechanically flickering, slammed into Patrick's heart again and again like a piledriver, almost out of breath.

Lu Ke Lu Ke Lu Ke Lu Ke Lu Ke Lu Ke Lu Ke ......

The name continued to collide between his lips and teeth, and without warning, a breath of blood burst out, and then Patrick slowly realized that he had bitten the inner wall of his mouth, and the smell of blood was bubbling out, but he still couldn't vent the shame and embarrassment in his heart.

How did this happen?

Patrick still didn't have an answer, so he got to his feet in a decadent manner and left the court with heavy feet.

"Peterson! Disgrace! Today is a disgrace! ”

"55, Peterson, do you see that? 55, do you want to tattoo a tattoo on your back to remind you of the final score of this game all the time? ”

"Shame on you! It's a shame! ”

"You should be ashamed of yourself!"

"What are you doing today? Sleepwalking? Hell, even that damn Richard Sherman is better than you! ”

As they approached the sides of the tunnel, the fan's fury stabbed like a sword, pouring salt on Patrick's wounds.

Originally, Patrick was not prepared to fight back, but just silently endured, which he deserved; But the moment he heard Sherman's name, he immediately exploded, "Get out!" I don't care about you! Don't compare me to that clown! ”

"Then do your job well!"

"Shame! Utter shame! ”

"Shut up, if you have anger, behave on the court!"

The fans were unrelenting, and the aggressive scolding poured down like a torrential rain, Patrick couldn't help but clench his fists, and an urge to swing his fist up in his mind came to his mind, but he finally suppressed it, walked quickly out of the players' tunnel, left the stadium in anger, and walked in the direction of the parking lot.

Along the way, scattered fans can be seen slowly leaving the stadium, but this time, Patrick's arrival did not cause any conflict or commotion, and the fans walked silently like walking corpses, as if they were practicing silence, and the oppressive and dull atmosphere was suffocating.

Suddenly, Patrick looked back at the direction of the stadium and remembered the angry fans just now.

At least, those people are still angry, and they are still alive; But the fans in front of him have lost their spirit, and they don't even have the strength to get angry.

Patrick tried to say something, or vent something, but the feeling of powerlessness in his heart dragged his ankle and sank, the drowning feeling was too aggrieved and too painful, after all, he couldn't say anything, he could only quickly return to his car, start the engine, step on the accelerator, and there was only one thought left in his mind:

Leave.

Escape quickly from the graveyard of the living dead.

There was a terrible silence in the whole carriage, there was no sound at all, which was another kind of torment.

Patrick himself can't figure himself out, the fans are angry and irritable, and the fans are silent and irritable; I'm irritable when there's a sound, I'm irritable when there's no sound, and in the end I get angry at myself, slamming the steering wheel hard, but I still don't feel a little anger, except for irritability or irritability.

The radio was turned on after all.

“…… Zi, zizi...... For the Arizona Cardinals, it was undoubtedly one of the most painful losses in the team's history......"

The radio program was also summarizing today's game, and Patrick's first reaction was to change the channel or turn it off, but his raised right hand couldn't help but pause, and after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't adjust after all, letting the host's voice continue to flow out.

"Not just because of the score, but also because of the mental state. In this game, the Arizona Cardinals did not see the slightest fighting spirit, not that the team did not work hard, but all the tactics, all the means, and all the strategies of the team fell behind, which made our offense and defense look like a mess. ”

"I know it sounds like pretending to be smart now, but looking back at the end of the game, the San Francisco 49ers, who showed absolute victory/desire, dominated the game from the first wave of the game, and the victory never escaped their control, and they did the same after that."

"They have better form, they have a better mentality, they have better willpower and execution, so it's no surprise that this game turned out."

"It was a painful defeat indeed. But now the question that leaves us is: After four straight wins, are we still in contention for the playoffs? When we head to Candlestick Field at the end of the season against the San Francisco 49ers, do we still have the faith and will to beat the opposition? After a series of difficulties, do we still have the confidence to win? ”

"Could it be that Kevin Kolb's absence really has such a big impact? The Arizona Cardinals are definitely not the team that beat the New England Patriots in the second week of the regular season. ”

"We must realize that the San Francisco 49ers are our sworn enemies in the same district, and they will never be relentless; Of course, we don't need them to be soft-hearted, because the victory must be won by ourselves. ”

"Last year, we broke the San Francisco 49ers' unbeaten home record, so they picked themselves up and beat the team on our home court twice in a row across the season; So now, how should we respond? How will we respond? The shame of '0:55' is still deeply imprinted on our heads even ten or twenty years later, should we just let it go? ”

"Every year, we're going to play at least two games against the San Francisco 49ers, and the decision on where the future goes is up to us."

Patrick's chest felt a rage of rage again, and he squeezed the horn tightly, then roared wildly in the noise, "Ah! Ahhh Ahhh "To vent all the grievances, all the depression, all the depression, he needs anger, he needs to feel anger, because at this moment, anger is the driving force to move forward.

Patrick's actions attracted the attention of the police car, which honked its horn and asked Patrick to pull over.

Patrick slowly pulled over to the side of the road, and then waited for the traffic police to show up, "Oh...... Hey, Patrick, how are you? I thought it was a thug, what just happened? ”

"Nothing, I'm just saying, we need to pull ourselves together, we need to vent out; I'm just saying, San Francisco 49ers are a /! The next time we meet, we won't die! So, my emotions are a little out of control, sorry......" Patrick sincerely said all the thoughts in his heart.

The traffic policeman was stunned, then clenched his fists and cheered, "Yes, that's it!" Never die! Never die! ”

Sworn enemies in the same area, the coffin is conclusive!
