The chubby man who looked down at the man in front of him squatted down with a big split, held his scissor hands, and stuck out his tongue. His unrestrained expression caught people off guard. The point is, he was not shy at all. Instead, he shouted loudly, "Shutter, hurry up, shutter!"
People shouted for "shutter" one after another. "Click", Lu Ke pressed the shutter and recorded such a ridiculous and funny scene. As a result, everyone cheered, "Ho ho ho ho!" Then a swarm of bees dispersed in front of him. The chubby man curled up his body, rolled forward and rolled out, just like that... Then he put his legs together and stood up following the inertia of the rolling. The whole routine was completed in one go. Lu was stunned to see it. Ke was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, everyone dispersed and began to get busy, happily greeting others. Then only Julio and three other people were left in front of Lu Ke. He raised his phone and gestured, "Good afternoon, guys, I'm Lu Ke, quarterback. Who squeezed into my selfie just now? Do you have a name? I can send the photo to you later, Let you enjoy everyone’s grimaces.”
Lu Ke introduced himself gracefully, with a little humor and ridicule. As a Chinese rugby player, Lu Ke has long understood over the past few years that in this virgin land that Asians have never set foot in, , Self-confidence, self-improvement, and self-reliance are the most important first steps in making friends, and then strength is the most persuasive means.
Sure enough, none of the three people in front of them showed any surprise, but took the initiative to introduce themselves.
"Jonas Mouton, linebacker."
"Bruce Carter, linebacker."
"Jabara Williams, linebacker."
After introducing themselves one after another, Lu Ke and Julio exchanged glances tacitly, "Wow, now it seems that we have fallen into the linebacker trap." Lu Ke's eyes widened, with words written all over his face. Full of banter.
Julio stood by and shook his head, looking full of confidence, "This is a challenge! Maybe, we will have a duel on the court soon."
Generally speaking, the linebacker is the most important person on the defensive team, usually the defensive team leader or the person who calls the shots. The linebacker must have excellent interception skills to prevent the running back holding the ball from breaking through; and in the passing attack, the linebacker must also help his teammates keep an eye on potential receivers and destroy or intercept any passes.
Compared to quarterbacks, linebackers and receivers have more confrontations. That's why Julio responded just now.
The three linebackers laughed happily, clenched their fists, and waved towards Julio, assuming a posture of "rolling up their sleeves and fighting at any time". Instead, these were several strangers they had just met. There is a familiar tacit understanding between people.
"Are you the only Asian player in this year's rookie training camp?" Aldon did not hide his appraising eyes, but his eyes were not malicious, but more curious.
In fact, this is not the first time that Asian players have appeared in rookie training camps. Every year or a few years, a few Asian players will appear in rookie training camps. But unfortunately, the gap in strength is still extremely obvious. In the end, they were not able to enter the league and become official professional players.
However, this is definitely an unprecedented first for an Asian quarterback.
Lu Ke spread his hands, "If the face I saw in the bathroom mirror this morning is still normal, then, yes, you are looking at him." The humorous words were so successful that everyone couldn't help but smile, " But how did you know? I thought I was a nobody."
"All the major news media have reported it." Bruce said quickly. "The media will never let go of such heavy news. How about it, have you signed in? After signing in, it is estimated that the entire training camp will know about it soon. By then, everyone will be curious about who the Asian guy is and what his abilities are."
Lu Ke opened his mouth slightly, retracted his chin, and showed an expression of realization, "It's like a circus." Once again, everyone laughed.
Now Lu Ke finally understood the source of the system's special mission. Perhaps it was the identity of the Chinese-American quarterback that attracted media firepower; perhaps it was the exposure to a large number of potential future superstars in the training camp that finally triggered the special mission. It seems that special tasks are triggered based on life situations and specific situations, but what is uncertain is that every special task in the future will be like this... is it a scam?
The four of them walked towards the signing place laughing and joking, and only then did Lu Ke have the opportunity to sort out his thoughts.
"Xiao Qi, I have another question. How can I judge who is the potential superstar in the future?" Lu Ke does not have the ability to predict the future, and the system does not give any prompts. How can he make a judgment? There are nearly three hundred people in the training camp, and it is impossible for all of them to be future superstars. "Also, what are the criteria for judging a superstar? Pro Bowl selection? First team All-American? Second team? Or best player of the season?"
"Luck." Xiaoqi's answer made Lu Ke choke. But thinking about it carefully, he couldn't refute it. It seemed that just trying his luck was the only way. The goal of thirty future superstars was definitely not that easy. However, if the special mission was so simple, the mission rewards would not be so generous.
After signing in, Lu Ke did not rush to the room upstairs. Instead, he sat aside and began to think about how to complete the task. Before the official start, he first downloaded a photo wall (Instagram) application to his mobile phone. After completing the registration, he uploaded the group photo just now.
After the upload was completed, he opened the task list again, and then Lu Ke noticed the progress update. This means that he just met four potential future superstars? Who on earth is it? Lu Ke looked at the photo carefully. There were people number 11 in it. Wait, number 12. At the edge of the photo, there was a guy with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, laughing and making scissor hands gestures.
Among the twelve people, four are actually potential future superstars? This is really rare!
Although every year's rookie training camp gathers all the new generation of outstanding rugby players, it is not easy to gain a foothold after entering the professional league. Even the top pick may have parallel imports, let alone other rookies. ? In a small draft year, it is already very rare to have ten or fifteen future superstars emerge.
Now, Lu Ke took a group photo with twelve people, and four potential superstars were caught among them? Does this mean that this is a big year for the draft? If you think about it carefully, the system mission requires thirty potential superstars. This also confirms Lu Ke's conjecture that there are indeed many players among this year's rookies who have the potential to become superstars.
At the same time, this also means... that it is even more difficult for Lu Ke to stand out.
Then, special tasks need to be completed even more. Whether it is the increased points or the unknown skill packages, these are important chips for Lu Ke to increase his strength. For the first time, Lu Ke began to seriously think about how to complete special tasks.
Twelve players, four potential superstars, the ratio is one-third; then, thirty potential superstars, which also means that at least 90 players need to be photographed!
Ninety, this is not a small number, almost one-third of the rookie training camp, and in reality, more may be needed. Lu Ke couldn't help but hold his forehead again. He wasn't sure whether after today he would be "loved by everyone and flowers would bloom"; but what was certain was that after today, everyone would know that there was a fan boy in the rookie training camp.
Let out a long breath and risk your life for points and skill packs!
Standing up, Lu Ke began to think seriously about how to complete the task:
He should be like a fanboy, his eyes shining, rushing up and saying, "XXX, I really admire you, you are electricity, you are light, you are my idol, can you take a photo with me?" ?”
Or should they be as skinned as flesh and blood, following a certain player furtively, like a spirit behind them, quietly emerging, taking pictures secretly, completing the task without anyone noticing, with a smile on their face? Weird smile.
Or maybe it should be like a party, actively greeting the players, gathering together, taking a group photo, imitating the trajectory of the first photo, including thirty or forty players in one go, and ordering troops and generals in one go. complete the task. However, there is no selfie stick, and it seems that he cannot accommodate so many people just relying on his arms? Or set up a tripod? Will this work?
Otherwise, it's like a symposium, where everyone forms a circle, just like a bonfire party. Then he stands in the center, turns in a circle, and includes everyone in the photo, all in one step. However, the question is, for what reason should he rally everyone so that everyone will not think that he is crazy?
Haha, he is definitely thinking too much. On the first day of the rookie training camp, he started to act like a little girl, taking photos with players closely. No need to elaborate, he is crazy. Or, just let yourself go completely? In a psychotic style, he yelled "Cheese" regardless of the situation and took photos with everyone he met. He was like a tornado, whizzing in and whizzing away.
If this was a party, with alcohol, the task would be easier, but this is rookie training camp, and it's harder. I couldn't stop thinking about it, and then I noticed a figure not far away from the corner of my eyes.
In the hotel lobby, almost everyone gathered together in twos and threes, chatting happily, hugging each other, and rashly stepping forward to join in the fun. This was really impolite and too difficult; however, there was a figure diagonally in front of The tall and burly black man stood alone, looking out the window, silently in a daze. This is simply the perfect entry point!
The task of taking photos of 300 players has been completed in his mind, but in real life, Lu Ke should start the task. So, Lu Ke walked forward without any hesitation.
