The faint off-white mist is rolling gently, vaguely outlining the outline of the single-family villa and the curve of the rolling hills; the weak orange streetlight is still not extinguished, and the soft light travels through the surging mist, depicting the Lines of shrubs, low trees and vehicles.
Listen carefully, and in the long and empty tranquility, you can occasionally catch the roar of car engines passing by. The rich night slowly recedes, and the light golden morning light is revealed bit by bit. It seems that in just a blink of an eye, the chirping of birds awakens the vitality of the morning, and the whole city wakes up. After the mist fades, the streets and houses slowly outline golden frames and outlines, the poetry of ink painting and oil painting. The colorful, water/milk/blending.
"Pah. Pah. Pah."
The sound of gentle footsteps echoed through the streets in a steady, powerful, clear and definite rhythm. One after another, they melted softly and lightly into the silence of sunrise, just like the heartbeat of the city, gradually becoming Be strong.
Lu Ke is doing his morning jog. Today is Tuesday, a day of continued recovery training, as well as continued strength training, as well as studying tactical manuals and watching game videos. After entering the regular season, the life of a professional athlete is actually very boring, so Lu Ke is completely Understandably, Sunday night bar revelry can be fun and wanton.
Scientific research has proven that after doing the same thing for thirty days, it will gradually form a habit, and then quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, bringing about real essential changes. This is true for learning, and so is exercise.
After getting the Rugby Superstar System, insisting on daily training tasks has become a habit. Now, Lu Ke is already familiar with the training tasks, and his body muscles have gradually formed a memory. Compared with being lazy and relaxing, Lu Ke becomes more confident by insisting on training every day. Get used to this rhythm.
During the running warm-up process, the entire brain is completely empty. There is no need to think about tactics, the game, or the pressure. It is completely blank and devoted to running wholeheartedly. For Lu Ke, this is a kind of relaxation, even a kind of enjoyment.
He loved San Francisco in the morning hours. Mornings in Candlestick Park, Haight-Ashbury District, Cathedral District, and mornings on the winding paths of the hills. There is peace in the silence, which can always make people calm down. Even the cool and cold fresh air and the thin warm sunshine are so beautiful.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang", a series of rapid and panicked footsteps, suddenly invaded, like a big stirrer, unreasonably began to stir, and then the whole world began to turn upside down; caught off guard, A group of people rushed out from the side of the street, swarming towards Lu Ke and surrounding him, instantly breaking Lu Ke's running rhythm.
"Do you have to train every morning? Are Mondays an exception?"
"There are rumors that the coaching staff is interested in starting Alex Smith this week. What do you think about this?"
"You still live with your parents. Is this a personal choice or is it culturally determined?"
"Compared to rookie training camp, has your training plan changed now?"
"Have you made any adjustments to your training plan after losing the game last week?"
"If you lose your starting position in this week's game, what are your plans?"
…
The chattering questions were like a downpour, falling one after another, making people breathless. There was only a buzzing sound lingering above the eardrums, which made people think of the lingering green-headed flies. , too annoying and disturbing; even the coldness and coldness between the hills quietly receded, and the restlessness and heat broke the morning tranquility.
Reporter, reporter who pursues and haunts.
After four weeks of competition, Lu Ke is no longer a nobody. This undrafted rookie is full of countless news breaking points. More and more reporters are turning their focus to him. Almost every step is creating something. What's more, the identity of the Chinese quarterback may be the key to developing the Asian market, which has also attracted the attention of major media.
As a result, off-site factors began to become complicated and surging.
For professional players, living under the spotlight is part of the job. How to get rid of the influence of off-field factors and devote yourself wholeheartedly to a career is a severe test for every player. This is why agents are extremely important; but agents are only assistants after all. In the final analysis, it still depends on the players. Own.
The glitz and attention under the spotlight are irresistible. Now, Lu Ke finally began to feel the spotlight. After four weeks in the league, everything began to become real.
The reporters jumped out from the side without warning. They had obviously been lying in wait here for a long time. Lu Ke, who had never been treated like this before, was startled and reflexively moved away from the outside, but immediately Then he was surrounded by reporters, and the roaring noise was really out of place in the peace of the neighborhood.
In an instant of explosive power, Lu Ke clenched his hands into fists, made defensive gestures like a boxer, and was ready to attack at any time. The next moment, when he realized that the person coming was a reporter, his tense nerves relaxed a little. , but still did not relax completely, and was still a little at a loss. Lu Ke ignored them, but accelerated instantly, increasing his running speed and then increasing it.
The instant burst ability during long-distance running is already commonplace for Lu Ke, but for reporters, it is a nightmare. Before they had time to react, they saw Lu Ke break through the encirclement, running faster and faster. He ran farther and farther, and his speed continued to increase. He rode away from the dust, leaving behind a figure that was getting further away.
The reporters frantically quickened their pace to catch up, but they couldn't catch up at all. They watched as Lu Ke's back turned into a small black dot, while they gasped for air and had to slow down, out of breath. They stood there for a while, looking at each other, at a loss, and exchanged glances with helplessness.
Just when Lu Ke thought he had thrown away the reporter, the sound of the engine was heard in his ears.
Turning his head, Lu Ke saw a young man riding a lady's motorcycle with astonishment on his face. He chased after him at a leisurely pace. He followed Lu Ke at a steady speed and asked in a loud voice, " When I interviewed your teammates before, they said that you train every day, seven days a week. Is this true? Does it include rest days? Why?"
"..." Lu Ke felt as if a group of crows were flying over his head, cawing incessantly. An indescribable sense of absurdity arose spontaneously, and he burst out laughing at the end. I have to say that this young reporter's new approach is really eye-catching and truly admirable. "Have you seen 'Roman Holiday'?"
This was Lu Ke's answer. The young reporter's expression was slightly stunned, and he didn't know why. Then he saw Lu Ke shaking his head with a smile, speeding up again, and after passing the intersection, he made a sharp turn and crossed the road. , began to climb slowly along an uphill road.
Seeing this, the young man immediately changed his direction and chased after him; but soon, he found that the distance between him and Lu Ke was actually widening bit by bit, as if he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he chased. I lowered my head and took a look, and then I realized that this long slope was really steep. The power of the light motorcycle seemed to be somewhat insufficient, making it extremely difficult to climb the slope, let alone increase the speed.
So, he could only look at Lu Ke's back, and shouted in a panic, "Lu Ke! Wait, Lu Ke, I only have two questions, two."
Unfortunately, Lu Ke's footsteps still did not stop, and finally disappeared on the top of the slope, completely gone.
After a while, other reporters finally caught up and asked questions one after another, "Where is Lu Ke?"
The young man pointed in the direction of the top of the slope with a look of helplessness on his face.
After getting rid of the reporter, Lu Ke resumed his daily rhythm, walked in a small circle in an orderly manner, and followed the established route, heading towards home. When he was two blocks away from home, he slowly slowed down. Adjust the rhythm of your breathing and measure your heartbeat to see the results of today's training.
"Lu Ke!"
A shout came from the street, which startled Lu Ke. He reflexively wanted to dodge. He followed the sound and saw the tired look on Logan Newman's face. He rubbed his eyes and yawned widely.
Noticing Lu Ke's panicked expression, Logan chuckled and stretched, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? You don't know me if you haven't seen me for a day, right?"
"You really look like a ghost now." Lu Ke complained speechlessly and shook his head, "Why are you here? And at this time?"
After finishing the warm-up exercise, it was only early six o'clock, which was indeed too early for Logan.
In fact, after joining the San Francisco 49ers, Logan moved out, and now Austin, Tiffany, and Julia live together in the Newman family; however, because they come from the same city, Logan still comes back home from time to time, and occasionally Stay here for the night. However, at this time, this is too unusual.
Logan yawned again, not waking up at all, "I was just thinking...don't you insist on strength training every day? I was thinking, maybe I should join you."
Lu Ke couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he heard wrongly, and looked at Logan with a half-smile, "What did you say? Strength training? Now? Six o'clock?" Then he saw Logan's embarrassed expression. This made Lu Ke laugh even more cheerfully, "Jesus Christ, Logan Newman, are you sure? The sun still rises from the east today, I just confirmed it."
"Lu Ke!" Logan gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes, "Don't let me regret this decision, okay? Don't you know how much courage it took me to get up early today!"
