The roar of the mountains and the tsunami, like a stormy sea, hit Lu Ke's eardrums hard, stirring up a buzzing sound, as if someone started to ring a bell in his mind, and he could feel the "sound" emotionally throughout his body. The distant echo brought about by "waves".
The heart is surging, forgetful, and ecstatic. Adrenaline seems to be freed from its constraints and integrated into the blood. The mighty roar is endless, and the joy and happiness of victory are blowing out at this moment! The thrill and excitement of reversal are blooming at this moment!
This moment is so wonderful that people can't help but start wandering around, waving their fists fiercely, roaring and shouting to their heart's content, until the chest begins to burn, until the blood begins to boil, until the body begins to explode. .
God, he loves this arena so much!
After experiencing the frustration and depression of the first half, the ups and downs of the second half, the narrow escape at the last moment, and the breathless stare at the decisive moment... all of this made the taste of victory happier and happier. moving. Now, he just wants to enjoy the pleasure of victory wantonly, and everything else is temporarily left behind.
"Bambi, Bambi!" Team assistant Bobby Engram walked over with difficulty, passing through the players who were losing their minds. It was really not an easy task. Almost everyone was shouting, "Bobby ! Victory! Victory!" Bobby's ears could no longer hear any sound at this time, but he still came to Lu Ke, "Shake hands! Shake hands after the game!"
This was only the second game of Lu Ke's career. After the difficult victory, his sanity was like a wild horse running wild and he couldn't regain it for a while. Even though this is just a regular season game, for Lu Ke, it is a more important game than the Super Bowl. Only by winning can his career continue. Otherwise, this is likely to be his last. game.
At Bobby's call, Lu Ke finally came to his senses, pushed away his teammates who were hugging him like an octopus, raised his hands high and greeted, "Shake hands after the game! Shake hands after the game!" Not only that! Only the quarterback needs to shake hands after the game. All players, including the head coach, also need to be polite after the game, just like in football games.
Lu Ke quickly ran into the stadium, and among the bustling crowd, he saw Tony Romo.
He was a tall, handsome man with a slight green beard on his chin. There was lingering loss and regret between his eyebrows, but there was a sunny smile at the corner of his mouth, which was warm and friendly. He stood on the court with a smile and calmly, comforted the defeated teammates around him, and then waited for Lu Ke's arrival.
Raising his eyes, Romo saw Lu Ke coming towards him. He took the initiative to greet him. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and opened his left hand. Not only did he complete the handshake, he also gave Lu Ke a warm hug. The strong and powerful handshake was full of emotions. Sincerely, he approached Lu Ke's ear and said loudly, "Excellent game, really outstanding. To be honest, I don't know how you completed the last pass, but it was amazing!"
Lu Ke looked at Romo with some surprise.
Last week, Travis Jackson was just going through the motions. The two people patted their right hands. There was no handshake or any communication at all. After meeting, they turned around and left.
"Thank you." Lu Ke was slightly surprised, but still said, "Today, the goddess of luck is on my side."
This is truth, not modesty.
The time he chose to use bullet time, even under skill cover, it happened at least three times, and he was almost sacked every time; when Kyle Williams dropped the ball, Logan Newman only beat him by half a hand. The advantage was to grab the dropped ball; on the last pass, if the arc was slightly higher by three centimeters or five centimeters, Michael Crabtree would not be able to complete the ball...
This was just luck in the last attack. If you continue to extrapolate forward, whether it was the Dallas Cowboys' two missed third-down transitions in the fourth quarter and handing over the ball; or Lu Ke's bold and risky passing choices in the previous two touchdown attacks, Without a little bit of luck, the outcome of today's game would have been completely different.
As Lu Ke said, the goddess of luck favored the San Francisco 49ers.
Romo chuckled, "As a veteran of the NFL, can I give you a piece of advice?" The corners of his brightly raised mouth revealed a dimple, without the cover of the helmet and without the intensity of the game. Romo looked like his next-door neighbor. After receiving a nod of approval from Lu Ke, he continued, "Luck is also a part of strength."
After speaking, Romo patted Lu Ke on the shoulder and said again, "As an undrafted rookie, entering the league will inevitably bear a lot of pressure. We need to prove more things, but remember, your own strength is the most important magic weapon. .Wish you good luck next week! But today, let’s enjoy the victory!”
There was a little bitterness in the smile, but more of it was relief and calmness. Lu Ke was really impressed by the general style shown by Romo.
"I hope I can still have the same 'strength' in the next duel." Lu Ke's change of tone, which clearly included quotation marks, made a joke, causing Romo to laugh heartily and shake his head. , then released his right hand, raised his right index finger, and kept wagging, "No, no, no, it won't be like this. Don't forget, I am the captain of Team America."
Then, Romo winked triumphantly, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Watching Tony Romo's back, the same arena, the same game, the same victory, but it gave rise to a different flavor. The charm of competitive sports has once again interpreted a different meaning.
In the Dallas Cowboys news interview after the game, Tony Romo was asked many times about Lu Ke. The 31-year-old quarterback said, "Yes, for us, this is A regrettable loss. For most of the game, we held the key to victory; however, we failed to last until the end. For the 49ers, Lu Ke's performance deserves this victory! I must Send me your blessings.”
"Battlefield between undrafted quarterbacks" was the core topic that the major media had been hyping up before the game. After the game, it naturally increased the agenda again.
"Competitive sports are cruel, and the NFL is no exception. People always place harsh demands on players, especially the quarterback position. I have experienced all this, and I also know what Lu Ke is going through." Romo did not Avoiding the topic, he said frankly, "I think Lu Ke's performance couldn't be more exciting. Not just for an undrafted rookie, but even for a rookie, his performance is enough to win respect."
"For undrafted rookies, we often need to shoulder more pressure to move forward. In every game, we need to prove ourselves again. But I think Lu Ke has won his respect." Romo emphasized again own point of view.
When reporters brought up the San Francisco 49ers' main quarterback battle - next week, Alex Smith will return from injury, Romo did not beat around the bush, "Yes, I support Lu Ke. Alex Smith He is a very good quarterback, but based on his performance in the past two games, Lu Ke is still more competitive."
There is no smell of gunpowder, but respect and admiration. The reporters are destined to be disappointed. Similarly, on Lu Ke's side, the reporters failed to make a breakthrough.
"Tony's performance today really made me feel the gap. As a rookie, I still have a lot to learn. Until the last 69 seconds of the game, I never saw the hope of victory. But, luckily Yes, I have not given up hope." Lu Ke said sincerely.
The dilemma of the first half and the ups and downs of the fourth quarter need to be summed up carefully. Even for an elite quarterback, every season and every game is different, and he must be well prepared; what's more, Lu Ke is just a rookie now, and he still has an extremely long road to catch up with.
In the first game, they relied on surprise soldiers to win by surprise; in the second game, they relied on luck and the use of two special skills to achieve a decisive victory in seconds.
As the season progresses, Lu Ke's shortcomings will become more and more obvious, and the game will become more and more difficult. After the victory, he could celebrate to his heart's content, but he couldn't start to be proud. He was far from being complacent.
Then the reporter asked about the long conversation between Lu Ke and Romo after the game. This is not common in football games, unless it is a quarterback with a close personal relationship. Generally speaking, quarterbacks will not communicate too much on the field, and shaking hands after the game is just a courtesy.
"Haha." Lu Ke chuckled, "Romo expressed congratulations to me, and then looked forward to the next showdown. Personally, of course I hope there will be another showdown." The last sentence, The meaning is profound, and the implication is really clear: the battle for the starting lineup in the next game is still unanswered.
The reporters chuckled again. It was a pleasant thing to interview Lu Ke. Not only was he chatting and laughing, but more importantly, the whole exchange was like a spring breeze, full of sparks, a little humor, a little ridicule, and a little explosion. Point, with the unique youthful energy of a rookie and the cunning wisdom of a veteran.
For the media, such players are welcomed with hands and feet raised.
The subsequent interviews mainly focused on the game. About the sluggish first half, about the tactical changes in the second half, and about the last wave of offense - especially the last pass. Reporters wanted to gain a more complete understanding of the game and the rookie quarterback in front of them.
After two consecutive weeks of victories, the coverage value of this Chinese-American undrafted rookie is increasing day by day.
"Lu Ke, before this week's game, Charles Davis said on the show that if you can still win this week, he will swallow the microphone. Regarding this..."
A reporter was asking questions, but at this moment, Logan and Marcus swaggered past Lu Ke, blocking the reporters' view of interviewing Lu Ke. At the same time, they imitated the military salute posture, looking serious. The ground shouted, "Report Bambi! Private First Class Newman/Lynch come report!"
The interview was immediately interrupted.
