Scott Tolsin, Marcus Lynch, Aldon Smith, Kendall Hunter, Colin Jones...all rookie players stood behind Lu Ke.
Demarcus Dobbs, Will Tukuafu...all the undrafted rookie players also gathered one after another.
Blake-Costanzo, Tavares-Gooden, Larry Grant, Carols-Rogers... just joined the team this year Many players from the team also came over.
Not only that, the players on the sparring team also moved to this side of the locker room, Lu Ke's side. Although they did not gather together, but stood scattered in the open space in the distance; the balance of power and confrontation situation in the entire locker room also changed drastically.
Standing opposite Logan and Lu Ke, there was still a huge team. There were about a dozen people crowding around Pares; there were still a dozen people scattered behind them, and it looked like there were at least thirty people, or even There are more, occupying the vast majority of the fifty-three-person roster, and the momentum is huge.
However, those standing behind Logan and Lu Ke did not show any weakness. In addition to more than a dozen players, plus the players from the training team, they actually formed a faint confrontation situation. Not only did they not fall behind, but they also Still slightly gained the upper hand.
Comparing the team's power structure in the past two weeks, the situation is changing subtly. Those veterans who just joined the San Francisco 49ers this year were originally in a wait-and-see state, or were more inclined to the camp of senior players, but now they are doing so. Made your own choice.
Some people still stick to Pares' side. The influence of senior players on the players is deep-rooted and all-round, and it is definitely not easy to break; some people moved their steps and came to Lu Ke's side. Rather than saying that they chose Lu Ke, it would be better to say that they chose victory.
The new players are all naive and have no deep feelings for the team. They have no tradition to inherit, no authority to protect, they are just mercenaries, making choices that suit their own interests based on changes in wind direction and water temperature. That's all.
More importantly, among the ranks of Parez and others, there is no Michael Crabtree, no Vernon Davis, and no offensive line players.
They were all senior players and the backbone of the offensive team. At this time, they did not stand up and join Pares and others in the confrontation; instead, they sat far away on the benches, almost submerged. Among the crowd, unknown.
You can faintly smell their inner struggles and hesitations. On the one hand, they need to support senior players; on the other hand, they are unwilling to continue to intensify conflicts. In a dilemma, they chose to take a step back.
However, just this subtle change in strength dropped a bombshell in the locker room. The strength of the senior players was further weakened. The entire lineup became slightly thinner and lost its advantage in the confrontation. With only two weeks of games, is the absolute authority of the locker room starting to lose control?
Lu Ke noticed the change in the balance of power, but Logan, who was in a rage, did not notice.
Facing Pares's reaction, Logan clenched his fists and took a big step forward, "What's the fuss? Then if I call your mother a special industry service provider, you will have no problem? Or should I say, your mother You have no problem kneeling before me and serving me?”
This short sentence was like a torch thrown into an oil depot, exploding with a bang.
Pares waved his fist and rushed forward, while Logan showed no sign of weakness. Like a bull, he rushed forward sideways. The two people collided fiercely, like sparks hitting the earth, with a "bang" sound. There was a muffled sound. Immediately, the entire locker room exploded with hormones and adrenaline.
At this moment, any words are redundant, the situation has been out of control, and the best solution is to have a physical contest. So, Lu Ke clenched his fists without hesitation, his muscles tightened to the extreme in an instant, and he rushed to the front.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" The uncontrollable roar echoed in the air, accompanied by a banging roar. At the same time, there were several helmets flying in the air, like incendiary bombs, fiercely The ground was smashed over, followed by a string of curse words, "Damn God! You bastards!" Then a string of curse words "beep beep beep" were vented continuously.
Lu Ke's right leg was tense to the extreme, and he was ready to kick out from the side at any time. Then he felt a turbulent wave of air coming from his left hand. The roar, curses and helmet were mixed together, and it hit him all over the face. ; Reflexively, Lu Ke restrained his body, took half a step back, and avoided a helmet. Then he saw the helmet hit the wall hard, making a muffled sound.
Pares, who was standing opposite Lu Ke, reacted a little slower than before. He was hit by a helmet on his shoulder and neck. His momentum of rushing forward came to an abrupt halt. His eyes were red and he yelled back angrily, "Who!"
However, Pares's voice only had time to explode, and then he faced the raging fire of rage. All his anger immediately melted and disintegrated. He stood there with a gloomy face and opened his mouth. I tried to argue a few words, "It's not my fault!" But the words were completely drowned, and there was almost no gap.
What's more, the furious guy is Jim Harbaugh, the team's head coach and the one who controls absolute power.
Even Pares did not dare to challenge the authority of the head coach. The words of defense were stuck in his throat and he could not speak out. He was really frustrated and had to leave.
Before Logan could regain his footing, Marcus and Scott behind him reacted in time, grabbed his arms firmly, and shouted, "Coach! Coach! Coach!" their eyes turned red. Logan didn't notice the change in the atmosphere in the locker room for a while, and struggled to break free, but Marcus and Scott never let go. Gradually, Logan came back to his senses.
"Do you think it's amazing that you have won two consecutive victories? The season has just begun! The difficulties have just appeared! Why don't you look at how the game played last week? We have to defend without defense, and we have to attack without offense. We have Being able to win the game is purely a fluke. Now that you are not preparing for the game next week, you still have time to start internal strife here! Stupid! You are all a bunch of idiots!"
Jim was truly angry. Looking at the chaos in the locker room, the bulging veins on his neck seemed to be in a critical state. The boiling blood rushed to his cheeks, and it seemed that he could clearly hear the capillaries beating one by one. There was a bursting sound, and the whole person was on the verge of exploding at any time.
Jim's voice was the only thing echoing in the locker room, attacking indiscriminately.
"A bunch of idiots! Get out and run around the court, thirty laps! Don't start today's training until you finish!" Jim threw the tactical manual in his hand to the ground, spat, and got angry. Panting, he looked sharply at the players in front of him, "Everyone, yes, you heard my voice, everyone has to run!"
Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed Parez who was about to make a move. Jim glared at him fiercely, "What's the problem? Why are you all still in the locker room and haven't started the punishment? Or are you more willing to be suspended than to run laps?" ? I will kick you off the roster directly? We will not play this week's game, just surrender, and then let the media and fans come over to see what is going on? "
Absolutely tough, never give in, refuse to compromise. Jim once again showed the decisiveness of the iron-blooded coach!
Faced with the head coach's indiscriminate attacks, he punished everyone in a row. Lu Ke can defend, appeal, and protest, but these are meaningless. Conflicts in the locker room are never resolved with words. Either by fists or by victory.
Therefore, Lu Ke did not argue. He looked back at his friends, gave a signal with his eyes, took the lead and left the locker room, and then trotted towards the training ground.
The rookie players moved their steps immediately and started running together with Lu Ke; as for the undrafted rookies and the new players who joined this year standing behind Lu Ke, they exchanged glances with each other and fell behind for a moment. , and then they all followed one after another, following Lu Ke's lead and accepting the punishment honestly.
Looking at Lu Ke's every move, Pares was full of grievances and dissatisfaction, "Coach!" Senior players teach rookies. This is a tradition. It is the same for all 32 teams in the league. Why is that Chinese player? Specialization?
"Pares!" Alex Smith, who was standing behind Jim, stepped forward and scolded Pares for arguing, "You heard what the coach said, thirty laps, every player No exception, hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
"Alex!" Pares was still indignant, his hoarse voice almost deformed.
Alex showed the style of the team captain, "Don't make me say it again! The locker room is not a boxing ring, and rugby is not played with fists! So, run circles, now! Everyone needs to clear their heads!" "After speaking, Alex pointed to the door of the locker room and motioned for everyone to set off.
Alex's influence was reflected. Even if they were not convinced, even if they were dissatisfied, the players still took steps and slowly left the locker room, ready to accept punishment. However, compared with rookie players, undrafted players, and new players, these veteran players have heavy footsteps, and every muscle in their bodies sends out signals of unwillingness.
Pares fell at the end and glanced at Alex unhappily, but he still followed forward; without saying anything, Alex followed Pares' pace and joined the punishment of his teammates. Even though he came here with Jim, he didn't participate in the commotion in the locker room just now.
In the blink of an eye, the locker room fell silent.
