"Beep..."
The referee blew the whistle, announcing the end of the game, and the final score was finally fixed at "49:". With a huge advantage, the San Francisco 49ers won a hearty victory at home. This was not only the first game since the 2011 season, The team's most outstanding victory; it was also the team's most outstanding and perfect victory since the start of the preseason.
From the offensive team to the defensive team, and then to the special teams team, the San Francisco 49ers achieved a perfect harmony. For the first time, they showed the style of being the first in the National League West, instead of being bullied by everyone; more importantly, The opponent is not just any weakling, but a team that has performed well this season and is temporarily ranked first in the National League South. The victory achieved after such a strong confrontation is undoubtedly more precious and valuable.
After the game, the entire San Francisco 49ers players began to high-five and celebrate. All the players on the offensive team surrounded Lu Ke. One after another, they stepped forward to pat Lu Ke's helmet and said congratulations happily. .
Lu Ke tried to take off his helmet, but Jonathan Goodwin stopped Lu Ke's movement with a smile, "This is a special treatment for rookie players, enjoy it." The deeper meaning is that senior players treat rookies Player recognition.
However, Lu Ke always felt that this was a prank by Goodwin, and narrowed his eyes slightly, expressing strong suspicion. Before he had time to discover the answer, Lu Ke left his teammates and quickly walked towards the center of the field, preparing to shake hands with the opponent's quarterback Josh Freeman.
While running quickly, he took off his helmet and shook his sweaty hair. Lu Ke came to the center of the stadium, but after looking around, he didn't see Freeman. This made Lu Ke stunned. After being stunned, he found a Tampa Bay Buccaneers player in the crowd and asked, "Sorry, where is Josh Freeman? I am the quarterback of the 49ers, and I am looking for him. Handshakes after the game.”
Lu Ke's first reaction was that he had just celebrated with his teammates for a while and forgot about the time. The other party was impatient with waiting, so he chose to leave; but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have delayed too long.
"Sorry, he has already gone back to the locker room." The Pirates player showed a helpless smile, then patted Lu Ke's arm, "Today's game was beautiful." He shook his head helplessly and turned around. left.
At this time, in the midfield position, Jim Harper was shaking hands and greeting the head coach of the Pirates, surrounded by players from both sides. Lu Ke was standing not far away, with a look of astonishment on his face, unable to find himself. I don’t know what to do with the person I’m supposed to shake hands with and greet—
Then Lu Ke saw Alex Smith standing not far away, so he walked up and asked, "Well, they said that the opponent's quarterback has gone back to the locker room. Is this okay?"
Alex chuckled, "A handshake is just a friendly gesture, not an official rule."
"I thought this was an official rule. Every time the game is broadcast live, aren't they..." Lu Ke asked in surprise.
Alex nodded and took over, "It's because of the live broadcast. When it is broadcast live across the United States, everyone needs to show friendship, friendship first, game second, you know, so the quarterbacks and head coaches of both sides will shake hands. , if necessary, the head coach and the opposing quarterback will also shake hands and greet each other. However, this is just a friendly gesture."
This was indeed something Lu Ke had not expected. After all, no quarterback had taught Lu Ke these things before. But after blinking his eyes and being slightly stunned, Lu Ke nodded calmly, "If it were me, , I don’t want to shake the other quarterback’s hand, I mean, after a game like this.”
That serious tone made Alex laugh uncontrollably.
On one side, there were five passing touchdowns, and the team achieved a hearty victory; on the other side, there were four interceptions, and the team only scored one free kick. It is indeed a bit weird and awkward for two quarterbacks to calmly stand on the field and shake hands to express friendship.
"One more! Another one! Another one!"
As he spoke, hot shouts gradually came, and they were quickly joining together, getting louder, crazier, and more turbulent. The air in the entire Candlestick Stadium seemed to be boiling. This interruption After listening to the conversation between Lu Ke and Alex, they both raised their heads and looked over.
It was impossible to find the source of the sound, because it was coming from all directions. The red ocean in sight was boundless, vast and magnificent, and began to surge. All the fans in the audience stood up collectively, raised their hands high, and shouted as loudly as they could, " One more!" Gradually, the 70,000 fans in the audience temporarily gave up their celebrations and shouted in unison. Smiles overflowed from the corners of their mouths and eyes, sweeping the entire audience.
"one more!"
The game is over. Obviously, the fans are not asking for another touchdown, but expressing their inner happiness and joy: they are eagerly asking for another touchdown, so the team dedicated one touchdown after another, one, two One, three... a total of seven touchdowns, five passing touchdowns, and two running touchdowns, truly allowing every fan to go home satisfied.
This kind of game is so beautiful.
The uniform shouts of support burst out with unimaginable energy in the Candlestick Stadium, surging endlessly, just like the "candle" on the Candlestick Stadium was lit again after many years, illuminating the The way forward for the fans also illuminates the future of this city. The inspiring spiritual power in the majestic red ocean is moving.
Lu Ke stood in the center of the court, quietly watching the surge in front of him, feeling moved and warm slowly flowing through his chest.
Different from the craziness of the airport pick-up moment, the stadium and the sea of red in front of him truly interpret the spirit of the San Francisco 49ers and truly connect his feet to this land. As never before, Lu Ke clearly realized that the red gold blood of the 49ers was flowing in his body, and the unyielding spirit of the 49ers was imprinted deep in his soul——
They were 49 people, and they were the first poor people who came to the west to open up wasteland. They once had nothing, came to this land with dreams, took root in the barren mountains and rivers, and created a world with their own hands; they never flinched or feared, faced difficulties, setbacks, and hardships, and used their own The footsteps measured a world.
The 49ers, they are pioneers, they are wanderers, they are gold diggers, they are also indomitable warriors! This spirit penetrates deeply into every cell of the body and remains deep in the soul of this city and this team.
Lu Ke, he is also a 49er, just like Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning.
In the chest, the beating of the heart was so steady, so powerful, and so enthusiastic.
Suddenly, a figure was caught in the line of sight. He raised the "King of the Bay Area" flag high and started running around the stadium stands. Wherever the flag went, people began to spontaneously Wave after wave of people, ups and downs, continuous, standing here, everyone is so small, as small as a drop of water, blending into the vast ocean, becoming part of the stormy waves.
The game is over, but the shock has just begun.
"One more! Another one!" This was not the cry of the fans, but the booing of Logan, Marcus and others. They rushed over one after another and began to circle around Lu Ke. Aldon, Scott, Crabbe Terry, Gene and others also came over to join in the fun, obviously teasing Lu Ke.
As the soul and core of today's entire game, they all know that Lu Ke contributed a lot to leading the team to this big victory.
Standing in the center of the crowd, Lu Ke laughed dumbly, then raised his hands and joined in the cheers with everyone, "One more! One more!" In the midst of the hilarity, everyone laughed happily, it was so lively.
In the Candlestick Stadium stands, the fans were still reluctant to leave. Even though the players had left the stadium one after another, and many spectators gradually left their seats, at least more than half of the fans stayed where they were, celebrating in their own way. With this victory, this victory that makes people forget everything.
The same goes for Jonathan Baldwin, whose eyes are full of satisfaction. Victory is certainly worthy of joy, but what really moves him is his spirit, the spirit of never compromising or giving up in the face of difficulties.
In the first half of the game, under the leadership of Lu Ke, the team exerted momentum and suppressed its opponents. It was this characteristic that allowed the San Francisco 49ers to win the game; similarly, in the future strong confrontation Among them, especially at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, this spirit will also become the key to the team's victory.
He likes teams like this. No, he loves the San Francisco 49ers. As a fan, he felt unprecedented pride and pride.
"Next week's game, I'm going to the away game to watch the game." Jonathan said.
"What?" Chris Wilson, who was standing nearby, was confused. Jonathan repeated firmly without hesitation or pause, "I said, in the next game, I want to go to the away game to watch the game."
Chris looked at Jonathan with surprise, and finally burst into laughter, "Who was talking sarcastically when I went to Cincinnati two weeks ago?" In just half a month, the world has changed, but look Looking at Jonathan with a calm face, Chris did not continue to tease, "But what about the tickets? What if I don't buy the tickets?"
"Then I have to go there too." Jonathan didn't even think about it. "I hope to go to the scene. Even outside the stadium, I have to stand there wearing a 49ers jersey and tell Lu Ke and our players that they With our support! As long as they stand on the court, they are not alone!"
