The San Francisco 49ers offense left the field, giving space to their special teams teammates.
"Bambi." Jim Hubble called out to Lu Ke. Lu Ke paused, cast a doubtful gaze, and became a little nervous, but then Jim gave a thumbs up, "Nice pass! "After praising him, he nodded without saying anything else, indicating that Lu Ke could leave.
Lu Ke was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Jim was worried about his right arm problem, and when the score was absolutely leading, he might send the backup quarterback Alex Smith to let him adapt to the game atmosphere; but obviously, this was just a false alarm. One game. Then, Lu Ke showed a smile, nodded, and turned around to leave.
"Yeah! Man!"
"Well done!"
"Wonderful! So wonderful!"
"pretty!"
"Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown!"
…
Along the way, every player raised their right hand high and high-fived Lu Ke. Even Vernon Davis, who was not able to play in today's game, was no exception. He didn't say anything more, but still stood. Completed the action among the crowd.
Later, more and more people came forward to celebrate, and the defensive players also came forward one after another. The high-fives could not be continued, so everyone enthusiastically patted Lu Ke's shoulders and back to express their congratulations. Vaguely, Lu Ke also caught a glimpse of Alex Smith and Scott Tolsin.
At least from the perspective of the television broadcast, the San Francisco 49ers were in harmony.
Finally, I sat down on the sidelines. At this time, the special team also completed the extra point kick. At "10:24", the San Francisco 49ers once again opened the score; at this time, there were five minutes and two left in the fourth quarter. Eleven seconds, there is still enough time left for the Cincinnati Bengals, it all depends on Andy Dalton's performance.
This "battle for the No. 14 rookie quarterback" has truly entered a critical moment.
Passing through the crowd, Lu Ke's eyes were firmly fixed on Dalton. In the rookie training camp before, the two of them didn't have much communication. They were just acquaintances. Neither of them was the dazzling quarterback in the training camp. But who would have thought that now the two of them are representing their own football teams. teams competing?
A figure walked in front of Lu Ke, interrupting his sight, and then sat down next to him. Turning his head, Lu Ke saw Kip Kleist's chubby and honest face, and looked away in confusion, "What, are there any special arrangements for tactics?"
Kip had a hehe smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha, "No, no, no. Your performance is outstanding. To be honest, we can't ask for more."
Among the 49ers coaching team, Kip has always looked upon Lu Ke with special eyes and favors. Part of the reason is due to the friendship between Adam Klein, and more is due to Lu Ke’s diligence and hard work.
There are countless talents on the football field, but in fact, after entering the NFL, the performance of geniuses is often unsatisfactory. Instead, it is the backbone players drafted in the third and fourth rounds who can adapt to the league competition more quickly. Intensity and rhythm.
The reason is not complicated. The proud players often have smooth sailing in the NCAA league and do not encounter many setbacks. It seems that they can get everything at their fingertips just by relying on their talent. After they turn to professional players, a little difficulty may make them unable to succeed. malaise. What's more, the NFL's difficulties are far from "a little bit", but a head-on blow.
During offseason training camps, senior players drilled rookie players harshly and even played pranks constantly. Each team knew this well, but never stopped it. In addition to this being the tradition of the team, it was also because it allowed rookie players to adapt to the intensity of the professional league as quickly as possible.
Of course, if those proud people of heaven can grow up again after experiencing the storm, their upper limit will naturally be unlimited. Such as Peyton Manning, such as Aaron Rodgers.
Lu Ke is an undrafted rookie who has always been down-to-earth, diligent and conscientious. After receiving the order at the critical moment, he won two consecutive victories, but still remained neither arrogant nor impetuous and started training in a down-to-earth manner. This trait successfully won Kip's trust. In the current team's quarterback competition, Kip is Lu Ke's unswerving supporter.
Alex Smith is too calm, lacks passion, and lacks courage; Colin Kaepernick is too impatient and has the typical characteristics of the proud men in the college arena; and Scott Tolsin is still strong after all. insufficient. So, is Lu Ke perfect? Of course not, his shortcomings are still very obvious, but Lu Ke is indeed the best choice for the San Francisco 49ers now.
This was Kip's idea.
"Bambi, I just want to tell you that your performance is very good. Believe me, your advantage is more obvious than you think. Don't work too hard." Kip finished his words and then stood up He got up, with a beer belly, and left calmly.
Sitting there, Lu Ke was stunned for a moment. Countless possibilities were derived from one sentence, but before he had time to explore all the possibilities, the player's game assistant came over quickly - he said he was an assistant, but he was actually a caddy. The caddy who hands out towels, water bottles, and packs helmets.
"Bambi!" Lu Ke turned around and looked over, and then saw the bright smile on the caddy's face, "Well, Kip asked me to give it to you." Then he handed over an ice bag and a bandage to restrain him. Elastic band for ice pack.
All questions were explained clearly.
Kip noticed the small problem with Lu Ke's right hand. For quarterback coaches, the quarterback's passing movements and habits have been deeply imprinted in their minds. If there is a problem, they must be the first. One discovered - As for those who are careless and fail to discover the problem, such quarterback coaches will probably be fired soon; or the quarterback will be directly injured.
Lu Ke laughed dumbly and took the ice pack, "Thank you, Thomas."
Thomas-Robinson couldn't hide the smile at the corners of his eyes and mouth. He also just joined the team this season. He graduated from high school not long ago. Almost no one on the team remembers his name. Everyone just calls him, "you" or "that him".
But now, Lu Ke remembers his name.
"No. This is my job." Thomas chuckled, "Do you need my help?" He took the initiative to step forward, gestured, and after getting Lu Ke's permission, he helped put the ice pack on Lu Ke's biceps, and then tied with an elastic band, "Bambi, I mean, Lu Ke, the long pass just now was so beautiful."
"Thank you. You can call me Bambi. It's just a nickname." Lu Ke said with a smile, "Also, please give me the tactical manual, okay? The one marked with number 4 on the cover , yes. Thank you." Then, Lu Ke began to flip through the tactical manual in his hand. Nothing should be taken lightly until the game is over.
On the court, the Cincinnati Bengals' offense and the San Francisco 49ers' defense started a nail-biting showdown. It can be seen that Andy Dalton is now in full-fire mode, leading the team. The determination to hold on to the score is more sincere than ever.
There are still five minutes and 21 seconds left in the game. From a theoretical point of view, the time is still enough, but the difficulty is very high. Now, the Cincinnati Bengals are eleven points behind, which means that they need to score quickly, whether it is a free kick or a touchdown, they must gain points in a short time and close the score gap.
Then, through the defensive team, he quickly struck out the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team, ensuring that Dalton could play again and gain a chance to win a decisive reversal.
Not just scoring, but scoring quickly. If this wave of offense takes too long, even if a score is scored, there will not be much game time left, and the window left for the Tigers will become smaller and smaller.
This sense of urgency constantly urges the Tigers' offensive team to tighten and tighten again like clockwork.
However, haste makes waste. In the past eight possessions, Dalton's pass was misplaced once; the receiver dropped the ball once; and the 49ers defense fumbled the pass once. The entire offense stumbled and stumbled. Not only did it lack momentum, but it also became more and more chaotic.
It's not that Dalton performed poorly. Objectively speaking, if Dalton hadn't stabilized the morale of the army, he first passed a 14-yard pass and successfully converted on third gear; then he escaped from being sacked and completed a six-yard short pass. Doggedly carrying the team forward, the Tigers were now striking out early.
But even so, the Tigers' offensive team was still in disarray and could not organize an effective offense. On third down and four yards, the receiver caught the football with his hands, but it was like a clown juggling, constantly throwing the football. In the end, I still couldn't catch it. It's a shame to announce that the Tigers' offense came to a screeching halt.
As the brain of the team, the role of the quarterback is crucial, but in a football game, there are no limbs, no torso, just a brain, and the quarterback still has nothing to do but watch the ball and sigh. Dalton stood on the court with his hands on his waist, his back lonely, and quite helpless.
Butter Hands, their attack ended up with Butter Hands, which is really frustrating. Dalton can blame his opponents for making mistakes at critical moments, but competitive sports is not that simple——
The premise is that the San Francisco 49ers burst out with great momentum in a strong confrontation and broke through the Cincinnati Bengals' excellent defense; the result was that under pressure, the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive players made mistakes in their nervousness. No one wants to see a turnover like this, not the quarterback, not the wide receivers.
So, after two minutes and five seconds, and before halftime, the Tigers' offense was called off.
The only good news is that there are still three minutes and sixteen seconds left in the game. If the Tigers' defense can rise up and stifle the San Francisco 49ers' offense as soon as possible, then Dalton will still have a chance to complete redemption. Just like NBA basketball games, the countdown still has the possibility of reversal, and the same is true for football games. Everything is possible.
It was under such circumstances that Lu Ke took off the ice pack on his arm and led the team on the field again, ready to kill the game!
