"Lu Ke! Lu Ke! Lu Ke!"
In the players' tunnel, shouts and shouts were heard incessantly. They hit the surrounding walls violently and bounced back quickly, overlapping each other layer by layer. After the echoes were superimposed, a pure natural amplification effect was formed, and all sounds were amplified. Ten times a hundred times, it was like thunder, beating fiercely on the eardrums and stirring, so that I instantly lost my ability to judge, and I just felt that all the sounds had turned into a bunch of meaningless syllables, buzzing.
In the sight, reporters were spread out one after another. Everyone was rushing forward frantically, trying to get closer, and then get closer. If they could put the recording pen into Lu Ke's mouth, they would He would do this without hesitation, as if he could gain first-hand information by doing so.
The entire space was echoing with the noise and noise of a volcanic eruption, and the faces began to distort, as if they were demons in purgatory.
Lu Ke couldn't help but pause for a moment. He experienced quite a few "firsts" today. It was the first time he witnessed home support at the Candlestick Stadium, the first time he won a big victory cleanly, and at the same time, it was also the first time. Once I saw reporters losing control——
Such a scene would only appear when interviewing top superstars in the league like Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers, but today, it was actually played out in front of Lu Ke's eyes. His name became the key word that everyone urgently called for, like a magic spell, bursting out endless energy between the lips and teeth.
In a daze, Lu Ke actually had the illusion that the person they were calling was not him, but another player named "Luke".
Lu Ke turned his head subconsciously and looked for the person the reporters were calling among the teammates behind him, but failed.
Everyone came up laughing and joking, patted Lu Ke on the shoulder, teased the reporters in front of them, and motioned for him to hurry up and be interviewed. Even Patrick Willis joked, "Hurry up and be interviewed." , otherwise these reporters will be impatient. You know, a gentleman can never make his significant other wait."
Lu Ke rolled his eyes speechlessly and looked at his teammates who were laughing together. Then he came to his senses and took steps towards the direction where the reporters were gathered. There were only fifty or sixty reporters in front of us, but the bubbling scene had the illusion of five hundred or six hundred people, spreading endlessly, like a monster with its mouth open, waiting for Lu Ke's sheep to enter the tiger's mouth. .
"Lu Ke", "game", "today", "team", "how is it", "status"... countless voices sounded one after another at the same time, and each sentence became fragmented, leaving only syllables one after another, without any meaning. It is impossible to piece together the complete meaning of the syllables, let alone be interviewed.
Lu Ke had to raise his hands and pressed down heavily, "An... quiet!" Lu Ke tried to roar, but he was in an excited posture for a long time during the game, constantly arranging tactics and shouting slogans. My throat was a little itchy and I couldn't make any sound. I had to adjust myself a bit, and then I roared angrily, "Quiet!"
Finally, the reporters in the first half gradually became quiet; then, the reporters in the second half also closed their mouths, and the noisy noise finally returned to calm.
"First question?" Lu Ke picked up the towel, wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and took the initiative to assume the role of host.
"Excuse me, as a rookie player, I got a big victory in this game today. What do you think is the main reason? Is it luck?"
Without raising his hand, the first question came to him, and Lu Ke followed the voice and looked over.
This is a familiar face. Although it was only the first time the two met in Philadelphia last week, Lu Ke left a deep impression on "Sports Illustrated" reporter Harry Wayans. It's not because of how kind or cute the other person is, nor how sharp or harsh the other person is, but because the other person will do whatever it takes to create news.
Since the 1990s, the concept of "entertaining oneself to death" has been proposed, and the uncrowned king has gradually stepped down from the altar. In order to create news, to fabricate explosive points, to sell magazines and newspapers, and even more on the Internet To increase click-through rates, reporters began to do whatever they could to create gimmicks and detonate the spotlight through distortion, misunderstanding, and one-sided perspectives. Michael Jackson was the first victim of the media.
In the final analysis, profit comes first.
Driven by sufficient interests, the concept of "entertaining one to death" was officially launched; after entering the 21st century, in the context of the Internet age, "clickbait" media have flourished everywhere, and gradually formed a A new fast food culture, where truth and facts are no longer what the media pursues, but hot spots, gimmicks and focus.
Even in order to create news, the paparazzi will not hesitate to deliberately provoke the interviewee and take the initiative to use the camera to maliciously contradict the interviewee. The best case scenario is that the other party smashes the camera or even beats the reporter. Then this is a headline; if the reporter's head If the news breaks out, the front page will be guaranteed, and the advantage of public opinion will be in the hands of the paparazzi.
The "Uncrowned King" has truly entered history.
In the past, Lu Ke only understood the development of the entire history of journalism as a student; but now, Lu Ke has become a part of it, which is really an interesting thing.
Obviously, Harry Waynes in front of him knows this well.
"If so, I will walk into the church starting today and pray that this kind of luck can continue." Lu Ke gently raised his eyebrows, smiled, and responded in a relaxed way.
With such an answer, the reporters couldn't help but chuckle, but Harry didn't react much, and then asked aggressively, "After the loss last week, there were rumors that there was a problem in the team's locker room. There was a conflict, and it was directed at you. Do you have anything to respond to?"
"No." Lu Ke's answer was short and crisp, which was in sharp contrast to Harry's lengthy question, so that everyone couldn't react and were stunned for a moment.
Harry did not expect it. He originally thought that rookie players are more impatient and impulsive, either eager to explain and always find flaws in long speeches; or they respond forcefully and have verbal conflicts with reporters. However, this was not the case with Lu Ke in front of him.
So, Harry asked, "Are you sure? There are no conflicts in the locker room?"
"I'm not sure where your source of information is? However, I think it might be faster and more direct if you directly ask the person who reported the information." The mocking tone hinted that it was a false accusation. Compared with direct explanation, this method is more comfortable and more upright.
Lu Ke's counterattack was watertight. Harry felt vaguely that it was a bit tricky, but he was not ready to give up at all.
As the most popular figure in the league now, Lu Ke’s words and deeds represent click-through rates, traffic, and interests; when Kurt Warner was born, online news was still far away. It is not so developed and its influence is relatively limited, but now, with the promotion and dissemination of social networks, the sensational effect of the entire news has become higher, and the benefits are naturally more worth exploring.
"Last year, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman had a wonderful performance and had a super season. Now, in you, we can see the shadow of Freeman. So, you Do you think you can continue your current status next year?" Harry's entry point is undoubtedly novel and sharp -
Rookie players are always like this, their performance has ups and downs, just like Freeman. He was a hero last year, but this year he disappeared from everyone. The purpose was not to ask questions, but to anger Lu Ke.
"I will cross my fingers and pray." Lu Ke raised his hands, crossed his index and middle fingers together, made a praying gesture, and passed Harry's question with a lot of effort.
"So you don't have confidence?" Harry asked aggressively.
Lu Ke did not answer immediately this time, but looked at Harry with a half-smile, paused for a moment, and then said, "I thought everyone was more concerned about the content of this game, and now this reporter has already I am sincerely grateful for the love and expectation for my next season, but I wonder, don’t other reporters have questions about now and this moment?”
The hidden words satirized Harry's urgent intentions.
The other reporters couldn't help but chuckle, and Harry's pupils shrank slightly. Obviously, this rookie player was more difficult to deal with than imagined. At the age of twenty-two, it is really rare to have such wisdom and mind.
Harry's pause did not allow him to continue asking questions; another reporter next to him took advantage of every opportunity to ask a question, "After regrettably missing the victory last week, this week faced the Buccaneers, who are temporarily ranked first in the National League South Division. It was a wonderful game, what happened during this week?"
Jay Fox is indeed Lu Ke's friend. He asked clever questions without losing room for answers. He closely followed today's theme and focused on hot topics. Whether it's the loss in the last game or this week's conference first-place matchup, this is the focus.
Lu Ke could also sense Jay's good intentions, and there was a chuckle in his eyes, as if to say: It seems that a lot of preparations have been made?
But there was no pause on his lips. Lu Ke answered directly, "There is nothing special. The loss last week is a regret for us, but it is also a motivation. We are a very young team, so what we need to do is , which is to use failure to inspire the desire to win, devote yourself to training, and then look forward to winning a victory. Judging from the results, we succeeded."
It was a decent answer, without any special highlights or content, but after finishing speaking, Lu Ke added, "Maybe tonight I don't have to worry about all the media questioning my starting position. Thank you for your concern."
Pause, then, laugh.
