Logan and Marcus looked serious, but they couldn't hide their playful temperament, but then they noticed something was wrong:
Whether it was Lu Ke or the reporters, all of them had strange expressions, half-smiling but not smiling, indescribable. It was Logan who reacted first and asked hesitantly, "Did we interrupt any important questions? For example, Madara Compared to...certain lives or something?"
Originally, Logan was planning to lighten the atmosphere and tease Lu Ke by the way.
But Lu Ke replied with a smile, "Now that I know, why are you still here? Are you curious too?"
Marcus endured it, and endured it again, but in the end he couldn't hold it back anymore, and burst into laughter. Then, all the reporters also burst into laughter. Logan had a speechless expression on his face and clenched his right fist. , waved twice at Lu Ke, then turned around and strode away, while adding, "Marcus, are you curious now?"
Marcus's smile also froze at the corner of his mouth, he scratched his neck and shouted, "Hey, who said that! It's obviously you!" As he said that, he chased after him, stayed briefly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There was a burst of cheers not far away, "Bambi! Ho ho, Bambi!" Logan and Marcus also joined the cheers, and David Akins, who completed the winning extra point today, also roared. He passed by and ran through the passage between Lu Ke and reporters, shouting, "Bambi, Bambi!"
A win, just a win, and the conflicts and conflicts in the locker room are put aside, at least temporarily, at least for the moment. Competitive sports can be complex, but they can also be simple.
All reporters present could feel that the rookie quarterback was quietly integrating into the locker room. Not much, but a start.
"Excuse me, why is your nickname Bambi?" A reporter raised his right hand and asked in a loud voice.
Looking along the sound, Lu Ke saw a familiar face, Jay Fox.
His former roommate, his college classmate. After graduation, they went their separate ways and followed completely different career paths. Lu Ke hadn't heard from Jay for a long time. After the start of the regular season, everything began to speed up. Every minute and every second of his life was filled to the brim. He didn't even have time to look for an apartment. None, so I have been living at home.
Unexpectedly, we would meet again on such an occasion today; but in such a surprising way: appearing here, which means that Jay not only found a job, but also gained trust.
The smile on Lu Ke's lips paused for a moment, and then rose, "Because my last name, Lu, in Chinese, has the same pronunciation as deer. So, my childhood friends gave me this nickname. .”
Jay still had a serious look on his face, as if this was just the first time he and Lu Ke met, but the smile in his eyes revealed his inner joking, "Bambi, isn't such a nickname inappropriate on the rugby field?" Too good a fit? Like a deer among wolves, literally."
"This reporter...?"
"Jay Fox."
"Jay, what media are you from?"
"'Los Angeles Times.'"
"Wow, Jay Fox from the Los Angeles Times." You exchanged questions and answers, an ordinary conversation, but it was full of relaxation because of the tone and expression, "Don't you think, maybe this is What's the best portrayal of reality? A Chinese player breaking into the rugby field. To be honest, my immigrant parents still can't understand my choice."
Bambi is lost in the vast forest, surrounded by wolves and lions, and is surrounded by enemies from all sides; just like a Chinese player who joins the professional rugby league and becomes a unique presence on the field.
Immediately, reporters at the scene blew whistles and nodded in agreement. Such a description is so apt and vivid that it is amazing.
"Bambi, no, I mean, Lu Ke." Then the reporter couldn't help but call out. The nickname "Bambi" is really catchy. The Bambi cartoon is definitely a favorite for Americans. A household name and a childhood memory for everyone. The shout-out was followed by good-natured laughter from the reporters.
After getting Lu Ke's permission, the reporter continued to ask, "Before this week's game, Charles Davis said on the show that if you can continue to win this week, he will swallow the microphone. In this regard , do you have any opinions you want to express?"
"First, I don't know this Charles Davis; second, I hope it's Chocolate's microphone." Lu Ke's answer was concise and clear, but rich in content and full of humor. All the reporters in the audience burst into laughter. The atmosphere is really lively.
Kip Kleist came over again and interrupted the reporters' interviews. In just two weeks, Lu Ke had become the darling of reporters. There were really too many people gathered in this rookie quarterback. The many focuses and topics are a treasure for journalists.
However, before Kip could speak, the crowd asked first, "Don't you know Charles Davis?" Just like you didn't know Richard Sherman last week, "He is one of ESPN's league leaders." Nei's commentator, he never thinks that you are a qualified quarterback and not suitable to stay on the field; he also doesn't think that you can lead the team to victory."
"Guys, guys, the players have to go back to the locker room and change their clothes." Kip interrupted the reporter's question, "He just went through a fierce game and Lu Ke needs to rest."
However, the reporters did not give up and looked at Lu Ke imploringly, with ardent expectations in their eyes. This made Lu Ke laugh dumbly and replied, "Please forgive me, I am in a pack of wolves now, and I am against it." There are so many critics that I don’t have time to read all the criticism, otherwise I wouldn’t have time to train.”
After speaking, Lu Ke did not stay any longer and turned around and left with Kip.
Charles Davis, this time Lu Ke had no sarcasm or irony. He had indeed never heard of this name. In the past two weeks, there had been countless objections and critical comments. Lu Ke had no interest or intention to read them all, and naturally he would not pay special attention to the name of a certain critic.
But today, Lu Ke heard about it for the first time. Obviously, to be specifically mentioned by reporters, this Charles is no unknown person.
However, "Mr. Charles Davis" must wait temporarily, because today is a victory.
Entering the locker room, Michael Crabtree was the first to rush up and hit Lu Ke's shoulder hard, hard. His face was full of excitement and joy, "Madman, you are really a madman!" The last pass , so bold, so crazy, so... imaginative, and really shows the charm of the quarterback.
In today's game, three touchdowns were completed by three players, Logan Newman, Vernon Davis, and Michael Crabtree. The entire offensive team was in a desperate situation, but it also opened up the situation at the same time.
As the executors of "that catch", Crabtree and Lu Ke joined forces to go down in history and truly left their names in the history of the San Francisco 49ers.
Crabtree was naturally ecstatic and overwhelmed, and used all his strength to express his joy and happiness. At this moment, all the seniority and barriers between the players disappeared, and they had a common name: teammates.
"Thank you." Lu Ke accepted the compliment calmly, then laughed brightly and bumped Crabtree's shoulder hard, "Also, thank you for completing the catch."
In the line of sight, Vernon Davis could be seen standing not far away. His eyes were intertwined with Lu Ke's. His expression was complicated and his eyes were obscure. He seemed to have something to say, but he still didn't say it after all, avoiding his eyes. , and then joined the celebration party of other players.
In the entire locker room, everyone cheered, sang and danced; at the same time, the celebrations at Candlestick Stadium were also underway.
Chris Wilson is still roaring, even though his throat is dry, even though his voice is hoarse and he has almost lost his voice, he is still roaring, and every cell in his body is roaring with all his heart.
Victory makes people happy; reversal of victory makes people excited; and reversal of victory over a mortal enemy makes people crazy!
"Bambi!" Chris heard shouting in his ears. He didn't know what it meant, but he didn't care. He followed up and shouted, "Bambi!"
After the chanting started, other fans around them joined in one after another. The chants became more and more loud and lively, "Bambi! Bambi!" It was not a uniform one, but one after another. It's like singing and dancing, stepping to your own rhythm, humming your own melody, immersed in your own world, and enjoying it as much as you want.
Chris stepped forward and laughed, "Why are we shouting Bambi? Does this make any sense?"
"Because the 49ers' No. 14 is nicknamed Bambi!" Amidst the din, the other party had to get close to Chris's ear and shouted, "You know, at the beginning of this year, the rose On the bowl, the team was trailing, and during the two-minute official timeout, all the fans in the stadium chanted 'Bambi' in unison, looking forward to him coming on and leading the team to victory."
"Then what?" Chris asked.
"He succeeded." The other party's simple reply made Chris raise his arms high and cheer loudly, "Bambi!"
Immediately afterwards, a large circle of fans nearby cheered in unison, "Bambi!"
Chris jumped with joy, "I am Chris Wilson, a die-hard 49ers fan."
"I'm Jeff Locke, and these are my friends, Nate Chandler and Danny Reese. We are all die-hard Bambi fans." The young man standing in front of him acted accordingly. introduce.
Chris stretched out his right hand and shook hands one by one, "Nice to meet you. From today on, I am also a staunch supporter of Bambi! I am now going to the bar to have a drink and celebrate. How about you guys plan to come together? ?"
"certainly!"
The Candlestick Stadium was buzzing with people and noisy, and no one was in a hurry to leave the stadium. At least half of the 50,000 fans stayed in the auditorium, singing songs, shouting victory, and shouting in celebration. The game is over and the party has begun.
