The Candlestick Stadium in sight is packed with seats and spectators. The 70,000 spectators have completely filled the entire stadium stands; except for red, it is still red, there is no other color at all, and the pure red is one continuous piece. Even the cloudless blue sky seemed to reflect a ray of pink, and even the fire clouds were eclipsed at this moment.
Red is the color of the San Francisco 49ers home jersey; gold is the color of the San Francisco 49ers home scarf and the color of the home shorts. But at this time, the red that was so pure and gorgeous, so pure that it was magnificent, and so pure that it was flamboyant, seemed like even the gold had completely disappeared, dyeing the entire Candlestick Stadium a unique color.
Not a trace of color. Heartbreakingly pure.
This is the home court of the San Francisco 49ers. None of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans can be seen. Their white away jerseys have completely disappeared from the stands. There are only 49 people, just 49 people. It is so simple and pure. Extreme, and extremely fanatical, using the stadium as a drawing paper and the jersey as a brush, he sketched out the most thrilling picture in the world. It was so wonderful that it stopped breathing.
Jonathan Baldwin stood among the crowd, his eyes were red, tears filled his eyes, and he was in utter embarrassment.
Long time no see, really long time no see. In 1999, after Steve Young, another Hall of Fame quarterback in the history of the San Francisco 49ers, announced his retirement, they experienced the most turbulent period in the history of the team and also ushered in the most difficult period in the history of the team. The most depressed period, it seemed that after that, he never saw this sea of red at Candlestick Stadium again.
They had fought, they had worked hard, they had struggled, but the team's downward trend was still incomparable. After 1999, in twelve years, they only entered the season in 2001 and 2002. After the game, I fell into a depression and darkness with no end in sight. So, confidence begins to fade, hope begins to fade, and fans begin to leave.
Until today.
Not because the team won another Super Bowl, but because the team once again gained hope. In this young team, in the undrafted rookie quarterback, in the iron-fisted coach, they had a glimpse of the future. A glimmer of hope, and then, firmly grasped, regrouped, and once again found the soul and heartbeat of this city.
Jonathan Baldwin couldn't believe his eyes. In his lifetime, he finally saw the Candlestick Stadium filled with a sea of red again. God, he really, really missed this place.
Looking up, Jonathan saw Cliff Hart standing not far away. That small figure was so insignificant in the vast stands, but his straight waist and powerful momentum were so... Determination seemed to be enough to support the entire sky and create a world that belonged to them.
Cliff raised the flag in his hand high. The bright flag fluttered in the wind, made a hunting sound, and then waved it heavily.
The next moment, a quarter of the audience watching from the north shouted in unison, "We are!"
Immediately afterwards, the remaining three-quarters of the audience on the other three sides shouted in unison, "Warrior!"
The sound seems a little uneven, and seems to have some ups and downs. The support of 70,000 fans is looking for the same rhythm. But, time after time, they gradually found resonance with each other, and then the power gradually began to rise, like rolling thunder, exploding mightily under the clear sky of the Bay Area.
"we are!"
"warrior!"
One sound is more majestic than the other, one sound is more powerful than the other, and one sound is more magnificent than the other. The gushing energy filled every cell in the body, and everyone roared with all their strength, without reservation or hesitation. The "warrior" orders firmly twisted the 70,000 fans in the audience into one. The rope burst out with a power that penetrated clouds and cracked rocks, enough to create the world!
In the Fox TV studio, Kirk and Teddy, who were preparing for the live broadcast, both stopped what they were doing, and even the commentary paused for a moment. They could truly feel the shock from the fans, who were shaking them. The entire world is surrounded by such a powerful force that it is impossible to ignore——
At this time, the live broadcast signal had not yet cut into the scene, but was aimed at the studio; but the director also noticed the abnormality and immediately switched the screen. Kirk and Teddy looked down at the entire stadium through the glass of the live broadcast room. The vast red sea created a strong visual impact, rushing towards my face, and all words suddenly became pale and feeble.
Kirk, who had witnessed the cheering frenzy at the Rose Bowl, was stunned at this time, and his words were organized intermittently, "Friends in the audience, we, uh, what we are seeing now is the live broadcast of Candlestick Stadium, um... ...Well, I mean, obviously San Francisco 49ers fans are showing their support and belief to the world. This kind of scene...I'm not sure, Teddy, I haven't seen it in a long, long time. Where's your memory? ?”
"Yes. Yes." Teddy repeated the same words twice, and it made no sense, but he finally came to his senses, "I think in the entire league, only the Green Bay Packers and The fans of the Seattle Seahawks are comparable. To be honest, I have never seen such a scene. It reminds me of the 12 people of the Seahawks. Now, what if 49 people? Is it 50 people?"
"No, they are the 49ers, thousands of 49ers, gathered together to become the pillars of the entire stadium and the entire city!" Kirk couldn't help but chuckled, "God, this is really spectacular. , I am a little curious now, what will it be like when 12 people meet 49 people? In the National League West, future games are worth looking forward to."
The fans of the Seattle Seahawks are famous throughout the league, because the offensive team and the defensive team on the court are all eleven players. Their fans are really too strong, and the home field advantage is so strong that they got " The title of "Twelve Men" can be called the twelfth player on the court.
In every home game, the twelve people cheering for each other at the Century Chain Stadium were so loud and enthusiastic that the powerful vibrations even caused minor earthquakes, breaking Guinness records many times and setting new highs; what's more, The 12-man support team is very disciplined. When the visiting team attacks, they give noise attacks, but when the home team attacks, they are silent. They truly become the twelfth man in the game, and can often influence the direction of the game.
Therefore, the Century Chain Stadium is also known as one of the most famous Devil's home stadiums in the league.
In addition, the Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field is also another famous Devil's home stadium because of its passionate fans and extremely cold weather.
Now, they are witnessing the prosperity of the fans at Candlestick Stadium, which is comparable to the sound wave created by twelve people at Century Chain Stadium. It is magnificent and majestic. Before the game has even started, the San Francisco 49ers have once again created the focus, with a completely different The way detonated the intense and hot fifth week of the regular season.
"we are!"
"warrior!"
Outside the players' tunnel, the overwhelming shouts were surging in the air; inside the players' tunnel, all the San Francisco 49ers players were bustling at the exit, waiting for the time to play, surging and hot. The blood was gurgling in the burst of adrenaline.
The players in the offensive team all glanced at Lu Ke, their eyes filled with smiles and excitement. No one knew this slogan better than them. The familiar shouts awakened the desire to win, and they were ready to move, eager to try, and waiting. The moment of explosion.
Jonathan Goodwin felt the eyes of his teammates and couldn't help but smile. Under the ardent expectation, he stepped forward and patted Lu Ke on the shoulder, shouting loudly in his ear, "Bambi, why don't you leave it to me?" Come to cheer for your teammates?"
Lu Ke looked away blankly, not knowing why, and then at Goodwin's signal, he turned around, and then saw a pair of expectant eyes. He couldn't help but laugh happily, without declining or being polite. He waved and called all the friends from the attack team together.
A rich voice burst out from the depths of Dantian, "What are they waiting for?"
"victory!"
"What are we longing for!"
"victory!"
"Then, our goals are the same! So, we have to step onto that court now, use our hands, use our feet, and do our best to win this victory. Because, we are..."
"warrior!"
"we are!"
"warrior!"
Gradually, not only the offensive team players, but also all the defensive team players and all the special teams players all joined the ranks of the fans at the scene, shouting the same slogan, stepping on the same rhythm, aiming for the same goal, and the crowd was excited! At this moment, the boundaries between players and fans completely disappeared and they became completely integrated!
"Ding", a prompt sounded in Lu Ke's mind.
"Competition tasks:
