Another day of training was completed, and this week's game was one day closer. After cleaning up in the locker room, Lu Ke and his young teammates walked towards the parking lot while talking and laughing.
Lu Ke was talking to Mike Rupatti next to him. The two were discussing the New York Giants' defensive front. Their raid attack was not strong and they did not produce many quarterback sacks; but they were very distinctive and often Being able to put pressure on the quarterback and create a lot of hasty shots.
"Stop, stop, can you two pause for a moment?" Alton Smith, who was walking in front, rolled his eyes in an exaggerated way, making people suspect that his eyes were about to roll over, and his exaggerated grimace made the horse Kus, Logan and others all burst into laughter, "We have been discussing tactics all afternoon today. I know the game is coming, but the brain needs to rest, rest! You can stop now."
Lu Ke and Rupati did not refute, they exchanged glances, and then they both laughed.
At this moment, a "ding" sound came from his mind, and Lu Ke's brows couldn't help but gather slightly in the middle. Today is not a game day, nor is it a special day. Why did the system suddenly send a message?
Following Rupati and others, he continued to move forward, concentrating on summoning the system, and then found a latest message among the unread messages. It turned out to be a special mission! Not only did Lu Ke not get an answer, but he became even more confused.
Opening the message, it clearly read, "Special Mission: Contempt from Charles Davis."
Charles Davis, who?
After a long day of mental activity, Lu Ke's thoughts are still on the game video and the tactical manual. His thinking speed is a little slow. He didn't think of the name "Charles David". "Mike, among the New York Giants, there is A Charles Davis?" This was Lu Ke's first reaction.
"Who?" Rupati was also full of questions and confused.
"Bambi, Bambi, look!" Aldon's noisy voice came over extremely quickly and cheerfully, interrupting the communication between Lu Ke and Rupati. The two people turned their heads at the same time, and then saw Aldon rushing He came over, stood next to Lu Ke, raised his chin, and gestured to the front.
Looking in the direction, Lu Ke couldn't help but be stunned.
Reporters, all of them, each with a camera hanging around his neck and a briefcase on his shoulder, were scattered in different corners of the parking lot, talking to each other wordlessly. Looking around, there are at least fifty reporters gathered in the huge parking lot, and there may be more hidden in the corners.
Today is Thursday, not Wednesday. For teams without game obligations, it is just an ordinary Thursday, because all eyes are focused on the Thursday night game, which is definitely the focus of everyone's attention. But why were so many reporters gathered in the parking lot?
"Why are you calling me?" Lu Ke looked at Aldon in confusion. He thought it was a fan or a family member. He did not expect it to be a reporter. He had no direct relationship with these reporters.
"Besides you, who else in our team do you think can attract reporters?" Logan standing next to him said mercilessly. Naturally, he couldn't let go of such a rare opportunity to complain. "Even with Patrick Willis, reporters don't stop by every once in a while."
"So, Colin Kaepernick is considered a has-been Internet celebrity?" Lu Ke rolled his eyes and fired back speechlessly, causing all his teammates to laugh.
In the past two weeks, many reporters have come specifically to interview Kaepernick.
Because Lu Ke's starting position is becoming more and more secure, as long as the victory continues, the coaching staff will not change the starting quarterback; Kaepernick, also a rookie, is undoubtedly the deepest feeling. As a second-round pick, he was originally considered He was considered to be the future of the team, but now he can only watch on. Reporters are extremely curious about Kaepernick’s reaction——
Of course, they also tried to dig out the discord in the San Francisco 49ers locker room. Kaepernick is undoubtedly the best breakthrough.
Faced with Lu Ke's teasing, the reporters gave the answer without waiting for others to respond, "Lu Ke! Lu Ke! Lu Ke!" The calls one after another were so urgent and exciting that all the figures swarmed in an instant. When it arrived, the scene became even more spectacular, like a stormy sea, crashing down on its head and face.
In an instant, reporters surrounded the players. However, everyone else left in droves and successfully escaped before the encirclement was completed, leaving only Lu Ke behind bars.
Staring with wide eyes at his teammates who had ruthlessly abandoned him, even Logan and Marcus had run away. Lu Ke could only sigh secretly and marvel at "making careless friends", but he still cheered up. , looked at the reporters in front of him, and cast a questioning look.
Jay Fox was not seen in the crowd. It seemed that the hot news this time was not keeping up. No wonder Lu Ke was not notified in advance.
"Lu Ke, Charles Davis said that if the 49ers can beat the Giants this week, he will climb all the way from Hollywood to the Great Wall. What do you think about this?"
There was no breathing room, and the reporter's questions were seamlessly connected. Lu Ke's conditioned reflex was, "Who?" He swore that he definitely didn't mean it.
"Charles Davis, ESPN's 'Inside the League' analyst, emphasized at the beginning of the season that you are not qualified to be the starting quarterback, and you may not even be able to finish the first game." The reporter responded "kindly" and added more explanations to fan the flames.
At this time, Lu Ke reacted, "That's the commentator who swallowed the microphone alive, right? Is he okay?" The memory gradually came back, and Lu Ke accidentally stabbed Charles hard.
This time, he did it on purpose. Did the commentator have a short-circuit? Otherwise, why would he keep causing trouble for him? He was so innocent that he lay down his gun inexplicably like this!
"Judging from your questions, he should be fine now, so I'm relieved." Lu Ke smiled and nodded, showing a look of relief.
"So, what do you think about his bet? In addition, another commentator on the show, Spencer Larson, said that if the Giants can win, he will kneel down and kiss Eli Manning's cheek Shoes." The reporters almost added fuel to the fire, wishing that the excitement could be more intense this time.
Lu Ke suddenly understood and gently retracted his jaw, "So, did he choose to crawl over on his knees, or lie down and squirm like a silkworm?" As he spoke, Lu Ke also raised his right hand, vividly Imitated the squirming posture of a mollusk.
In an understatement, he responded and mocked Charles severely.
The reporters suddenly became excited and took the bait. Lu Ke took the bait! finally!
"Lu Ke, may I ask, do you mean that you think Charles must have lost this bet? Can the San Francisco 49ers defeat the New York Giants this week?" The reporters continued to ignite the situation.
Lu Ke smiled and shrugged, "For me and the team, being able to receive such love and support from Mr. Larson is the biggest motivation for us to pursue victory. Once again, I express my sincere gratitude." A clever Changing the concept, Lu Ke did not respond directly, but expressed indirect affirmation in a more relaxed manner.
"As for Mr. Charles Davis, the Great Wall is one of the seven wonders of the world, and it is definitely a series in his lifetime." Lu Ke continued, as if he was giving pertinent travel advice, "But with his own feet, Across the Pacific, this is obviously impossible; why not replace Hollywood to the Great Wall with Hollywood to the Statue of Liberty? Route 66 carries the history of the North American continent."
Crossing the Pacific Ocean means that Charles spent most of his time on ships or planes. As for swimming, no human being has been able to cross it yet. In other words, Lu Ke was implying that there was no sincerity in this bet and it was impossible to realize it. But taking Route 66 across the North American continent, it can be accomplished.
The subtext is: Charles is destined to lose.
After saying that, Lu Ke deliberately showed a big smile, narrowed his eyes and said friendly, "Then, I wish Mr. Charles Davis good luck." Then, Lu Ke took a step forward and gave a smile. He suddenly left the circle of reporters——
The reporters automatically gave way to a path and watched Lu Ke slowly leave. The excitement in their eyes could hardly be concealed.
News, exploded!
Walking all the way to his car, Lu Ke summoned the system again and reviewed the special mission just now.
“Special Assignment: Contempt from Charles Davis.
Mission statement: In the tenth week of the regular season, during the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants, 'Inside the League' analyst commentator Charles Davis believed that it was impossible for the 49ers to win, and expressed his deep contempt and ridicule, and He made an impossible bet to express his determination.
Relevant remarks caused an uproar within the league, and further stimulated the New York Giants' game state and increased the difficulty of the game. Should they swim against the current and move forward bravely, or should they bow their heads and surrender?
Mission requirements: Lead the team to victory; beat Eli Manning in quarterback rating and PFF rating; prohibit interceptions or ball conversions caused by quarterback fumbles.
Mission reward: a random attribute +10.
Failure penalty: a random attribute -5; the skill of resenting reporters will be cooled down for three weeks; the game status will be reduced by 10% in the next week. "
After reading the special mission carefully from beginning to end, Lu Ke finally realized how important Charles's bet was, or in other words, how serious the social impact of this bet was. , it can be seen from the failure penalty. This is the first time Lu Ke has seen the penalty of decreased attributes outside of the target mission!
Moreover, it is not a penalty-like deduction of basic points for failure of the target mission, but a direct decrease in attributes, or it is random!
This means that this is a mission that cannot fail.
Great, this week’s game has another reason to win!
