"Bambi! Bambi! Bambi!"
The shouts gradually became one, and Lu Zhengze watched with dumbfounded eyes as the whole place boiled, like lava rolling. It was not ten million, nor ten thousand. More than half of the audience in the Rose Bowl began to cheer and shout; even more Incredibly, the Bruins players standing on the edge of the court raised their heads, and then some joined in the shouting.
Involuntarily, Lu Zhengze's eyes became moist, and then he stood up, raised his right hand high, and shouted along with the audience, "Bambi!"
That's his son.
The first time they watched Lu Ke's game on the sidelines, his small size was completely submerged in a large group of tall and strong kids. He seemed to be out of breath. With just a slight bump from others, he would be knocked out. It flew out like a piece of paper. He and Jiang Youning couldn't help but feel sorry for the child, and persuaded Lu Ke to give up and choose basketball or other activities. But Lu Ke remained unmoved. He gritted his teeth and persisted step by step.
When he encountered discrimination because of his Chinese identity, he did not give up; he was bruised and bruised from a collision at a young age, and suffered constant injuries, big and small, but he did not give up; during the eighth-grade quarterback competition, he was injured due to an accident. He didn't give up when he lost the opportunity; he didn't give up when he applied to join the team as a freshman and sophomore year and was rejected; he joined the team as a sparring partner, even though he couldn't even make the roster, he still didn't give up.
Now, he stands on the sidelines as a substitute and becomes a part of the team. More importantly, all the spectators were shouting his name.
Lu Zhengze's voice began to tremble involuntarily, and his vision was blurred, but he did not flinch. He shouted loudly, "Bambi!" That's his son!
Jiang Youning also stood up, tears falling from his eyes, and he couldn't make a sound because of the tears. He just stared at the figure of No. 11 standing next to the court, surrounded by his teammates, feeling a little at a loss. The deafening shouts echoed, swirled and vibrated throughout the Rose Bowl.
"Wow, audience friends, now...well, a wonderful scene is happening in the Rose Bowl...all the audience are shouting a name. But this name sounds a bit strange, and I don't understand what is happening for the moment. .”
"Listener friends, the Bruins fans inside the stadium are shouting the same slogan now. We don't know what this is about for the time being. Please wait for further follow-up reports."
"Uh, Bambi? Bambi? I'm not sure, but the Bruins fans in the Rose Bowl are chanting Bambi's name right now. Does this mean anything? Is it because they expect Bambi to win? Badgers? Haha, Bruins fans are really unique.”
…
The commentary box was in chaos. The commentators were confused and full of questions. They had no idea what was going on. Everyone was frantically contacting their assistants and asking the same question: What happened in the Rose Bowl?
The only exception was Kirk, "Listener friends, all the fans in the stadium are shouting the same name now, Bambi!" Kirk felt his heart surge, and his chest was filled with extremely excited emotions.
"Bambi, his name is Lu Ke, a senior at UCLA. This is a player full of countless legends. He joined the team as a sparring partner and became the third quarterback at the beginning of the season. . However, in the Bruins' last game of the season, with three touchdowns behind, he came on as a substitute and led the team to sweep four touchdowns, completing a stunning comeback and becoming the first team in ten years. Defeated our city rival, the University of Southern California, for the second time!”
As he spoke, Kirk's eyes became slightly warmer, and the excitement of the previous game was flowing in his blood. "Tonight, the audience once again called for their savior, hoping that Bambi can win the second place." We brought the team back from the brink for the first time and brought the Rose Bowl to UCLA again after 25 years!”
"Listener friends, we are witnessing a miracle, not a miracle of the game, but a miracle that belongs to Bambi! This Chinese quarterback who was a sparring player left his own legacy on this unique stadium. Moment!" Kirk said impassionedly, and unknowingly, he was also infected. The overwhelming calls once again awakened the memories of the last game, his blood boiled, and his voice gradually became louder.
Adam Klein looked back at the audience behind him in surprise, his excited faces began to twist, and then he saw Blake Simmons' meaningful smile, which seemed to say, "How about it, let's feel it again now." Are you interested?" Adam shook his head helplessly, laughing, but there was still a nonchalant calmness in his eyes.
The audience is irrational. In a crisis situation, they just take it for granted and seek help from the hero. The turnaround in the last game made Lu Ke the best candidate. But as a scout, he must remain calm and objective - he believes that the Bruins coaching staff will not make such a stupid mistake, and it is a wise choice to continue to believe in Kevin Price.
However, the audience seemed to have different ideas. The chants of "Bambi" got louder and louder, and even the neutral fans joined in the fun and started shouting, so that the Badgers fans were confused, not jeers, not boos, they really didn't know What kind of tactic is this?
Stormy shouts swarmed in from all directions. Looking up, Lu Ke could see the vast and crowded crowd of 100,000 people. It seemed that there was no end in sight. Everyone was calling their names, and their hearts began to beat. Following the shouting, once, again, and again, the thumping thumping made all the muscles in the body begin to tremble slightly, a little excited, a little excited, and a little at a loss. At this moment, he stood on top of the world.
Not only the audience, but also the offensive players standing on the sidelines, Logan, John, Marcus and others, all looked in other directions, keeping their mouths closed as much as possible to hide their mouth shapes, Then they shouted in unison, "Bambi!" They were definitely happy to see the grand occasion.
Kevin stood there suffering.
Every shout was like an arrow piercing his body, getting more and more, deeper and heavier. This gave him almost no chance to resist, as if he was standing in a frying pan, every pore They were all shouting and groaning in pain, but the overwhelming shouts were so dense that the air became thinner, so that Kevin was completely unable to resist, and even the anger was gone. He could only stay stunned. He stood there, feeling a sense of shame sweeping over him.
Lu Ke, damn Lu Ke! Damn it Lu Ke!
The shouts grew louder and louder, which seemed to interfere with the Badgers' offense and at the same time inspired the Bruins' defense. A sack, a broken pass, and a hasty shot that resulted in an incomplete pass were like chopping melons and vegetables. , holding the Badgers' offense in place, forcing them to punt.
At this time, there are two minutes and thirteen seconds left in the game.
In football, each team has three timeouts, in addition to a two-minute official timeout - the game is automatically paused once with two minutes left in each quarter.
This also means that the Badgers can deliberately consume thirteen seconds and then punt after the official timeout, leaving the Bruins with the last two minutes of offense. This is also true. When both teams' special teams came off the field, there were still two full minutes left in the game.
Justin Addison, the captain of the Bruins' defensive team, ran down the court nervously and shouted to his teammates on the offensive team, "We tried our best, we tried our best! The rest is up to you!"
Anthony Jefferson turned around, faced the audience, put his hands under his chubby beer belly, and quietly continued to incite the audience to shout. With a proud smile on his face, he shouted, "Spotted" Be!" Then he turned his head and looked at his colleagues with flickering eyes. Chuck and Norm also turned to look at Rick.
Rick looked to the left and then to the right, but he had nowhere to escape. When he raised his head, everyone in the world was boiling, and everyone was shouting the same name, "Bambi!" Six Ten thousand people? Seventy thousand people? One hundred thousand people? All the shouts came together, and the whole world shook earth-shatteringly, facing a continuous volcanic eruption.
Rick couldn't believe his eyes. He admired the grand scene in front of him in surprise and astonishment. He opened his mouth slightly, but found that he couldn't say a word. Even the sound was muffled in his chest, and his brain fell into a temporary state. During the pause, unable to think, he just asked, "Who planned this?"
However, the voice was quickly drowned in the surging shouts, without even a trace of ripples being made. Rick knew he might not get the answer.
Rick let out a long breath, hesitated, struggled, and thought. His eyes stayed on Kevin and Lu Ke for a moment respectively. Finally, he waved to Norm, and then mouthed, "Bambi!"
Looking back many years later, Rick realized that at that moment, he made the most important decision of his career.
Norm showed a big smile, nodded towards Rick, then turned around, walked to Lu Ke's side, and patted Lu Ke's chest hard, "Man, come on!"
Lu Ke clenched his fists heavily and ran towards the field.
In an instant, the whole place was boiling. It was no longer a shout of "Bambi", but a passionate scream, "Ahhh!" The waves came one after another, like the vast ocean after a tsunami, ten stories high. The waves crashed down hard, and the Rose Bowl was like a canoe in the stormy waves, in danger of being destroyed at any time.
Everyone is screaming, everyone is applauding, everyone is jumping, at this moment: the whole world cheers for Lu Ke! The whole world surrenders to Lu Ke! The whole world is crazy about Lu Ke!
Jiang Youning jumped up, raised his hands high, and shouted with all his strength, "Bambi, come on! Bambi!" Tears of joy burst out as he shouted.
