The early morning sunshine sparsely falls down, and the warm, lazy breeze blows by with the smell of sea. People can't help but want to raise their heads, bathe in the warmth, and just lie on the bench doing nothing. Go up, enjoy the leisure and comfort of a cup of coffee, and let time slip through your fingers like gravel.
But for the San Francisco 49ers players and coaching staff, this is an unrealistic dream. Because, the offseason is over, all the games in the seventh week of the regular season have come to an end, and Wednesday is here again. They must tighten the loose rubber bands again and start preparing for this week's games.
The wonderful vacation time always flies by so fast, and it is over before I have time to enjoy it. The next vacation will have to wait until the end of the season, and adjustments will be made slowly during the offseason.
Early on, Jonathan Goodwin arrived at the training base at Candlestick Park.
Today is relatively special. After an offseason, they need more time to recover, warm up, and train. At the same time, they also need more time to watch game videos, wake up their lazy brains, and slowly tighten up. stand up. Therefore, it is also a return to training, but this Wednesday is different.
However, before entering the locker room to change into training clothes and before entering the official warm-up exercise, Goodwin still had a personal matter that had to be completed; therefore, Goodwin arrived at the training base twenty minutes earlier than the scheduled time and left the parking lot. After the game, he walked straight towards the team's office building.
The mist is slowly dissipating at the training ground, and the thin golden sunlight can be vaguely glimpsed, like light ink dripping into the clear spring, fainting bit by bit, and the green shade and blue sky in the sight are covered with A layer of light colors and such a beautiful scene almost made me stop breathing, and I couldn't help but exclaim in wonder.
In the silence, you can faintly hear the sound of breathing, which seems to be the subtle noise caused by the friction between footsteps and the lawn. It pulls the heartstrings neatly, powerfully, lightly and nimbly in the silence. Not only does it not destroy the overall peace, but it also It reveals a vitality, as if you can see the seeds sprouting. In the desolation of late autumn and early winter, heart-warming energy bursts out.
Following the sound, Goodwin saw a figure from behind in the mist, wearing the jersey number, No. 14.
That slightly thin body is much stronger than when he first joined the team. The strong and well-proportioned muscle lines, balanced and agile weight ratio, and steady and light footsteps make him look like an elegant bird during the long and hard running. The deer, whose every move was full of beauty, successfully confused the hunter, and then turned around and turned into a sensitive cheetah, staring eagerly.
After five wins and one loss, he still did not get carried away, but continued to train down-to-earth.
There was no surprise or surprise, on the contrary, it was more of a matter of course.
When Goodwin realized this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Regarding Lu Ke's diligence and hard work, they seem to have gradually developed a habit. They are used to the existence of a madman and freak in the team. They are used to the existence of a madman and freak in the team. There is a being who leads everyone forward with great strides.
No one noticed that Lu Ke was a rookie, and an undrafted rookie at that; no one cared that Lu Ke was an Asian player, and he was the only one in the entire league without a semicolon. Lu Ke is now the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, and is gradually taking on the responsibilities of a leader.
This sounds like fantasy, because Lu Ke has only been in the alliance for six weeks - no, only seven weeks. But that’s the fact, it’s all happening. It's not a movie, it's not a myth, every player who participates in it can truly relate to it.
During the offseason, when Goodwin and Joe Stanley were out drinking and relaxing, the two accidentally mentioned a tactic during the chat - there was still no way to correct occupational diseases. As a result, the two people couldn't argue, and finally Stanley said directly , "Otherwise, call Bambi to confirm, he will definitely support me."
The point is that when they encounter problems with the tactical manual, the first thing that comes to mind is not the offensive line coach, but Lu Ke.
Because in normal training, Lu Ke's understanding of the tactical manual is so amazing that it seems that no problem can trouble him. Even if he gets stuck for a while, Lu Ke will study it in detail, verify it and give answers after he returns.
Such a miraculous performance made everyone curious. Later, after further research, they found out that Lu Ke spent all his spare time every day studying game videos and tactical manuals. This has been the case since the beginning of the preseason, and he has never relaxed; The tactical meetings between rookie players have become famous within the team.
People are always curious about where leadership qualities come from, and why Lu Ke, a first-year student, can win the respect of those veterans?
It is strength and hard work. The small details in life accumulate bit by bit and form a tower.
Standing there, Goodwin watched Lu Ke quietly, running, and then Lu Ke began to accelerate suddenly. This was the famous "suicide speed run" among the San Francisco 49ers. Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, who have the best physical fitness, have both tried it, and after the game both said, "That guy is a pervert."
After the 100-meter sprint, Lu Ke did not immediately reduce his speed. Instead, he began to run horizontally and crosswise to train his footsteps——
It can be clearly seen that Lu Ke's calves and knees are shaking slightly. Even Vernon and Crabtree exclaimed that they couldn't bear it and committed suicide. Naturally, it is not that simple. His physical strength and muscles have reached the extreme; but Lu Ke still He didn't give up and concentrated on training his steps to the limit.
By accident, his knees collided with each other, and he stumbled and lost his center of gravity. Even Goodwin almost screamed, but Lu Ke used his hands to maintain his balance and avoid falling. After that, he continued running without any intention of stopping to rest.
With a gentle breath, Goodwin turned around and took steps towards the office building. As a veteran, Goodwin sincerely expressed his admiration. He was willing to believe in Lu Ke. He believed that the San Francisco 49ers' hopes rested on the rookie quarterback and that Lu Ke could lead the team to sail through adversity.
Standing at the door of the head coach's office, Goodwin knocked on the door, waited for a moment, and then heard Jim Harbaugh's panicked voice, "Here, I'm here. Who? What's the matter?" Then The hoarse voice, and the faint traces of someone who had just woken up could be heard, which really made people laugh.
If Goodwin guessed correctly, the head coach should have spent the night in the office again last night.
Although Hubble never knew how to deal with the bad problems in the locker room, and his bad personality of being egotistical, self-centered, and hot-tempered was unpopular; but no one can deny that Hubble is an excellent coach. He has excellent skills in tactical arrangements, overall control, and on-the-spot response.
Even in the face of the crisis of temporary replacement of quarterback, Hubble still made corresponding changes in tactics and successfully made the entire offensive team fit together.
This year is a new beginning for the San Francisco 49ers, and it is also an important beginning. There are countless arduous running-in tasks, and Hubble is forgetting to eat and sleep. Staying in the office day and night in order to study game videos is a high probability event, and the entire training base has become accustomed to it.
On the court, the offensive team led by Lu Ke was killing everyone; while off the court, the coaching staff led by Hubble laid the foundation in advance. This dedication, focus and investment have successfully allowed the San Francisco 49ers to achieve excellent results.
From this perspective, it is not without reason that the cooperation between Hubble and Lu Ke can produce sparks.
Goodwin did not go in immediately, but waited for a moment, leaving some time for Hubble to take care of himself. Then he opened the office door and said, "Coach, it's me. Before today's official training, I have I want to talk to you about something, I mean, privately.”
"What's the matter?" Hubble rubbed his eyes, yawned widely, and casually tidied up his messy attire. He didn't care at all about the possibility of the coach's authority being attacked, and scratched his head as hard as a bird's nest. Her hair and face were all shiny, "What time is it now? The official media meeting hasn't come yet, right?"
Obviously, the time reserved by Goodwin was not put to good use. Come to think of it, Hubble appearing in front of reporters in such a posture for an interview is expected to trigger a heated discussion, and social networks will definitely be very lively. .
"No, the recovery training in the morning hasn't started yet." Goodwin sat down in the chair opposite Hubble, but found a pair of socks hanging on the armrest - they felt a little wet, which made Goodwin feel a hundred thousand points. Critical hit.
Before he could react, Hubble stood up and took the socks away. Without explaining too much, he directly asked, "So, what is it?"
Goodwin didn't want to ask why the socks were on the armrest. He wasn't curious at all. So, following Hubble's words, he went straight to the topic, "I am thinking that it is time to hand over the title of offensive team captain to Lu Ke. Undoubtedly, he is a more suitable candidate and a more correct candidate. .”
The San Francisco 49ers have just experienced a special offseason. The integration of the entire team is in a turbulent stage. Now their captain position is also quite special. The defensive team is Patrick Willis and the offensive team is Jonathan Gu. Derwin, and on special teams is David Akins.
Now, Goodwin took the initiative to hand over the position of captain of the offensive team to Lu Ke. This is an important change and the reason why Goodwin came to the training base early today.
