1274 Returns to play
"Chris, Chris!"
Just as Chris was getting carried away with cheers and shouts, there was a heavy slap on the shoulder, and at the same time, there was a loud and excited shout in his ears, turning his head, Chris saw Jeff Locke and Nate Chandler and other people, without much words, they shouted at each other, "Nine", this is the best way to say hello.
Jeff, Nate and others also jumped up one after another, one by one followed by a crazy roar and roar, it seemed that even their bodies had become much lighter, and between spinning and jumping, the joy and happiness in every cell overflowed, blending with the fans in the stadium, and welcoming the arrival of the game day in a crowd.
It's only been three weeks, but it's like a lifetime away, and today begins, and I have a new life.
"Hey, you're ready too!" Jeff pointed to the golden support scarf in Chris's hand, a big smile bloomed on his face, and then he moved out of the way and pointed to the other friends behind him, revealing their golden scarves.
It was a spontaneous move, no prior discussion, and no official announcement, but all nine people tacitly brought their golden support items.
Even though it was a home game, it was a classic moment in the red ocean, and they were all looking forward to the home team getting back on the winning track in the dazzling red sea; But this game is more suitable for gold than red, because it is the first game after Ryan Baldwin's death and Lu Ke's injury.
After going through hardships, overcoming thorns and thorns, and suffering a lot, every nine people firmly believe that they can stand up again and face the more violent wind and rain again, just like Ryan at the beginning, and now Lu Ke can also bravely attack strongly!
It's time for the Golden Sea to recreate Candlestick Park.
There was no advance arrangement, no hints to each other, but the nine people still spontaneously carried the golden object. Chris and Jeff weren't the only nine to do so, and the gold was spreading through Candlestick Park.
It's different, but the atmosphere is still different after all. That difference made every nine people want to scream with excitement!
……
"We're nine! We are warriors! ”
The uniform shouts echoed outside the team bus, and when I turned my head to look, the boundless sea of red thundered like a surging river and rushed forward, and the violent and ferocious roar reverberated in the air, making people can't help but start to boil their blood; The gold shimmers like the sun shining on the surface of the lake, softening the lines and contours of the world.
Lu Ke's gaze froze slightly, and the tense lines of his expression couldn't help but soften.
The three-week truce, strictly speaking, is far less terrible than imagined, Lu Ke has put all his attention into studying, the impact of negative emotions has been reduced to a minimum, completely jumped out of the trap of self-pity, and continued to run forward unswervingly, refusing to stop.
What may seem like a long three weeks is fleeting.
But at this moment, returning to the Candlestick Stadium and seeing the red ocean again, the passionate excitement made every cell in the body begin to roar, so that the body began to tremble slightly, and the desire to fight was roaring wantonly, which made Lu Ke realize that he really missed the moment of the battle, even if it was only three weeks apart, that urgency still couldn't be suppressed.
In the past three weeks, the calmer it has been, the deeper the depression has been; At this time, after the eruption, the more turbulent it becomes.
"Bambi." Logan bumped Lu Ke with his shoulder, and then didn't speak, just squeezed his eyebrows at Lu Ke.
Lu Ke said calmly, "Do you have facial nerve disorders, or do you have itchy corners of your eyes and can't help twitching?" ”
Logan didn't mind, bumped Lu Ke on the shoulder again, and said with a smile, "See?" The whole city is waiting for your return, how? Excited? Do you feel loved by the whole world? In today's game, we have to give it our all! ”
As he spoke, Logan began to rub his hands, and Lu Ke's eyebrows raised slightly, "You mean, if the fans don't support you, you won't work hard?" Or have you not given your best in the last few games? ”
I thought Logan would panic, but I didn't expect him to straighten his spine and say as a matter of course, "I'm really playing hard, but the pass can't be passed in place, and the pass gap can't be seen, what else can I do?" "What's more, the fans can't lift their spirits one by one, and they don't cheer us up when we dance ballet on the court, what else can I do?" ”
It's obviously a crooked reason, but Lu Ke has no way to refute it, so he can only laugh dumbly, "It seems that I am indeed under a lot of pressure today, and I need to perform well." ”
"Don't get too excited, you exert too much force, and you accidentally beat your opponent, and JJ doesn't feel good." Logan was still there and continued to squeeze his eyebrows at Lu Ke, which made people laugh.
The team bus slowly entered the stadium passage under the crowd of people in the stadium.
Lu Ke stepped off the bus, carried his carry-on bag, followed the footsteps of his teammates, and walked in the direction of the locker room.
"Bambi! Check it out here! ”
"Bambi, how does it feel to be back on the field?"
"Bambi, have you communicated with JJ about this game?"
"Bambi, does your injury still have an impact?"
"Bambi, what are you expecting from this game?"
"Bambi! Bambi! Bambi! ”
Lu Ke was absent from Wednesday's official media day, and Jim Hubble was always relieving Lu Ke's pressure, and it was not until Friday that Lu Ke was officially announced through an official announcement, which also made Lu Ke and reporters never have the opportunity to communicate positively to ensure that Lu Ke could be 100% prepared for the game.
Today's competition is about to start, but the reporters still haven't interviewed Lu Ke properly, so they are naturally unwilling to miss such a God-given opportunity at this time.
But Lu Ke's footsteps did not stop at all, wearing headphones, blocking all the noise, and concentrating on moving forward. The staff in front of him waved his hand again and again, blocking Lu Ke's footsteps, Lu Ke raised his head and looked over for some reason, and then the staff gestured to the left.
Turning his head, Lu Ke saw the team's official photographer standing on the inside of the player's tunnel, pointed the camera at Lu Ke, and shouted, "Look at the camera!" Very good, very good! Without waiting for Lu Ke to react, the other party nodded directly, "The photo is over, you can continue to the locker room to prepare for the game." ”
Lu Ke looked confused: This is the end?
The smile then went up, shook his head slightly, and continued to move towards the locker room.
About ten minutes later, the official account of San Francisco's 49ers' photo wall released a series of photos called "Game Day", recording the silhouettes of the main popular players when they entered the locker room.
At this moment, people once again remembered Lu Ke's nickname "Bambi".
Although the original origin was because of the surname "Lu", it was ridiculed and ridiculed by the Chinese immigrant community; But for Americans, they can't understand the stalk of "Lu", and just take it for granted that on the one hand, Lu Ke's figure is relatively weak and he can't adapt to the fierce confrontation of rugby, like Bambi who enters the jungle, and on the other hand, because Lu Ke's Asian face really can't distinguish age, it is completely a baby face, and it doesn't look much different from a high school student.
After the photo was uploaded this time, netizens were amazed again.
"Bambi is still a child! That full of youthful breath is coming! ”
"It's nice to see the youthful Bambi again, but are he sure he's graduated from college?"
"Bambi is really Bambi, full of youth!"
"Bambi, now I finally understand where this nickname comes from."
"Bambi Chong!"
Lu Ke's vigor seems to have injected vitality into the team and fans again, and the whole team has regained new vitality from top to bottom. Forget the trough of three consecutive defeats, forget the team's troubles, forget the huge pressure on the road to defend the title, and look forward to meeting this week's challenges with full hope.
Such San Francisco 49 people have indeed been absent for a long time, and spiritual power is such a wonderful and elusive thing, which can be seen or touched, but it can often bring unexpected surprises.
The journey from the team bus to the locker room was only a few hundred meters, familiar with a little unfamiliar, which reminded Lu Ke of the first time he arrived at the Candlestick Stadium as the starting quarterback, looking forward to and nervous, excited and apprehensive, excited and flustered, and most importantly, passionate, finally able to step on the court, finally able to play, and finally able to show his strengths.
It's only been two years since I've been in the professional league, and gradually, the weekly game has become a regular flow, and everything has evolved into an instinct, and after getting used to it, it has become a matter of course.
But the onslaught of injuries has made him realize that this is not something to be taken for granted!
Every game in competitive sports requires full concentration and all-out effort, and any slightest slack can be left behind in the fierce competition, and when the reaction comes, it will take ten or even a hundred times as hard to catch up with the intensity and rhythm of the others again. Even if there are no injuries, the opponent will definitely not let his guard down.
Looking back at the career curves of Randy Moss and Aldon Smith, the return to the field today is even more precious.
Lu Ke walked very seriously and very focused, but this ordinary road, but he walked extremely firmly.
