After lunch, there was a forty-five-minute tactical meeting, followed by formal on-field training.
Lu Ke, Logan, and Marcus followed the crowd and moved slowly towards the tactical meeting room. The two of them taught each other the experience of tactical meetings. Obviously, this was completely different from the time in college. .
"...But I think you must be fine." Logan said as he walked into the conference room. The next second, the whole room became silent, and his voice suddenly amplified and echoed slowly. Logan was startled, turned his head suddenly, and then saw more than thirty pairs of eyes, all projected towards him, staring at him intently——
To be more precise, aim at Lu Ke behind him.
Logan's sudden braking caused Lu Ke to stop, and then Marcus bumped into Lu Ke's back, "Damn it, brother, there's a traffic jam." Then, there was chirping outside the door. There were bursts of complaints, as sparse as noise.
The scorching and sharp gaze, with different sounds and colors, seems to have different temperatures, shapes and patterns, contempt, provocation, disdain, ridicule, sarcasm, anger, ridicule... The eyes are like watching a good show, like sharp thorns, fiercely The ground dug into the surface of Lu Ke's skin, and without even a second, he turned into a porcupine - full of arrows.
There were about thirty-three or thirty-five players, with their hands folded on their chests, their chins raised high, and they were waiting for Lu Ke's visit. Just the powerful and turbulent momentum is enough to make people tremble with fear, like a monster with its huge mouth open, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.
Chinese players are indeed treated differently, with unusual specifications and formations.
Lu Ke's eyes lit up slightly, he straightened his back, walked calmly, and walked forward. The passage behind him became smooth again, and the conference room became noisy again. It seemed that everyone was engaged in chatting again, but his eyesight remained. But the light was always focused on Lu Ke, and every move fell into the eyes of everyone.
After a rough look, Lu Ke chose a seat in the first row and sat down calmly.
During these years of living in the United States, Lu Ke clearly knows that "Chinese" is like fluorescent yellow protective clothing. The existence itself is absolutely high-profile. Even if he tries to be low-key and hide it, he is still like a bright light, easily becoming The most visible target of attack. Keeping a low profile won't solve the problem, so keep a high profile, and then a high profile.
Obviously, the Dragon Gate Formation has been set up. Instead of avoiding and dodging, it is better to break through head-on.
Marcus looked at Lu Ke sitting down and was dumbfounded. It was like a school class. Everyone tried to hide behind the tactical meeting room to avoid the coach's radar, but now Lu Ke was sitting in the front row. He clearly put himself under the coach's nose, which was like throwing himself into a trap.
Logan bumped Marcus's shoulder, showing a confident and expectant smile, "Don't worry, sit down."
As a neighbor and childhood friend who grew up together, Logan knew Lu Ke well, and he was the type who would never suffer. American high schools can be very cruel and indifferent. Without two brushes, it would be absolutely impossible for Lu Ke to survive on the football team.
Just now, Logan noticed the flash of light in Lu Ke's eyes. Therefore, not only was Logan not worried, but he was also vaguely looking forward to it. Looking at the astonished Marcus, Logan only said one word and then sat down next to Lu Ke.
Bambi.
Marcus seemed to understand. After only hesitating for a moment, he also sat down on the other side of Lu Ke.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter burst out from the back of the conference room. The laughter was so fierce, so ferocious, and earth-shattering that everyone turned their heads to find out what was going on. , but no one answered, just whispering, and the whistling sound spread from ear to ear, and then triggered another burst of more violent laughter.
"What's wrong with them? Are they crazy?" Marcus frowned and asked curiously, not knowing why.
Lu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, "Bet a bag of potato chips that the content is about me."
The laughter was intermittent, like convulsions. In the blink of an eye, everyone in the back of the conference room seemed to have an understanding, but the front row was still kept in the dark. The feeling of being abandoned by the world is really making people accurate.
"Hey, rookie." A call came out. Lu Ke knew it was him and turned his head. Then a white cotton-like object was thrown over and covered his head directly. Madness broke out in the conference room. The whole room seemed to shake with roars of laughter.
T-shirt, this is a cotton T-shirt, clean cotton T-shirt.
The pranks of this group of veteran players are too childish and too obedient. If it were him, he would do something to the T-shirt itself, such as soaking it. As for what kind of liquid to use, you can give full play to your imagination. Lu Ke still had a leisurely time to complain in his heart.
Amidst the laughter, Lu Ke calmly took off the T-shirt and spread it out for a look without rushing to respond. This is a printed T-shirt with black fonts printed on it, "I just want to play /XXX/Xiao", and next to it is a dialog box with Lu Ke's profile photo from the rookie training camp, as if this sentence is It sounds like it comes from Lu Ke's mouth.
Such a prank, the method is cheap and crude, but simple and crude, powerful and powerful, and most importantly, direct enough. Especially among athletes, the more crude the joke, the better.
"Hey, Bambi, I didn't know you had such a hobby." I don't know who it was, yelling loudly, and the entire conference room was like a volcano erupting, and laughter completely erupted.
Logan and Marcus exchanged glances, their expressions a little ugly, and they looked at Lu Ke worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ke stood up unhurriedly, put on the T-shirt slowly in front of everyone, then turned around and faced all the players in the conference room with a smile.
With Lu Ke's calm movements and the arc of Lu Ke's smile, the laughter in the conference room calmed down little by little. It came and went, one after another, like an absurd comedy. In the end, everyone was dumbfounded and at a loss. , for a moment I didn’t understand what Lu Ke’s routine was.
Colin looked around, but after all he couldn't hold it back. He took the initiative and shouted, "How's it going, man? You like it very much?"
"Of course, why not?" Lu Ke said calmly with a smile on his face, "Is there anyone in the team who needs service? Now we can line up here. I don't know, so many people in the team are open to the public. Coming out."
Self-deprecation and self-deprecation are always the best ways to fight back against pranks. What's more, Lu Ke is not passively beaten, but takes the initiative.
Silence, deathly silence, no sound at all. It was originally a prank intended to play a trick on Lu Ke, but Lu Ke openly admitted and then retaliated, and those curse words were immediately thrown at him. Caught off guard, everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
Colin bit his gums and cursed angrily, "Homosexual."
"The first one." Lu Ke actually raised his right hand, raised his fingers, and started counting. Colin Kaepernick was the first to "come out publicly". Now no one dared to speak, and there was silence. , lest I become the second one.
By the way, the finger Lu Ke raised was the one in the middle.
Looking around, looking around again, no one even dared to look directly into Lu Ke's eyes, and then heard Lu Ke's voice, "Come on, guys, this is just a joke, isn't it?" Lu Ke took the lead. , and then took the lead to resolve it, the awkward and serious atmosphere melted away, and all the old Jianghu people were stunned and speechless.
The victim of the prank, in the blink of an eye, actually took the initiative to start the prank.
Lu Ke pointed at his T-shirt, "I mean, this T-shirt is just a prank, right?" So he fought back in a prank way. He didn't mean to hurt everyone's feelings. There's no need to be too cautious. Too serious, "Or is it true that someone on the team has a crush on me, and this is his confession?" After saying that, Lu Ke bared his teeth and made a face, as if he didn't want to hurt the confessor.
A prank with obvious personal attacks and personal discrimination, under Lu Ke's back and forth, not only disappeared, but also full of banter and humor. Invisibly, the unfamiliarity between the players was quietly eliminated. Drawn the distance between each other.
Attack, defend, counterattack. This series of comings and goings happened so fast that before everyone seemed to react, Lu Ke had already taken control of the atmosphere in the entire conference room, and in a daze, the situation had been reversed. For a moment, everyone was a little dazed, confused and at a loss.
"Pfft", Aldon Smith was the first to hold back and let out a trace of laughter. Then Logan and Marcus, and then the other players, all laughed in a low voice. Everyone in the tactical meeting room The atmosphere became relaxed unconsciously.
They...should be laughing, right? The players looked at each other and exchanged glances. Some of them couldn't tell the difference, but it seemed that smiling was the right choice, so they did so.
Sitting among the crowd, Colin's face was livid, he was speechless, and he couldn't say a word.
"Clown." A voice sounded, and the laughter stopped abruptly. Their eyes were directed towards the source of the sound. The instigator shouted again, "Clown who is sensationalizing! That T-shirt means that you are gay, even this You can't even tell, and you think we are joking with you in a friendly way, you are so stupid."
In the face of pranks, Lu Ke's counterattack was too clever, too humorous, and too wise. In an understatement, he not only reversed the situation of being passively beaten, but also took the initiative to attack, further easing the relationship between rookies and veteran players. The whole process developed so fast that some people didn't understand and couldn't keep up with the reaction speed, so they stood up and explained in a "friendly and kind" way.
As everyone knows, the so-called explanation turned him into a laughing stock. Simply put, IQ is insufficient. This is the real clown, who still doesn't know it when he is embarrassed.
