Jiang Youning was the first to notice Lu Ke's abnormality. It was like telepathy. Even though Lu Ke in her sight was no bigger than a palm and could barely see his movements clearly, she sensed something was wrong and then noticed the person entering the scene. Team doctor, Jiang Youning's heart suddenly contracted, and his fingertips curled up tightly.
Lu Zhengze noticed his wife's tension and turned around in confusion. Then he noticed Lu Ke who was communicating with the team doctor. His throat tightened slightly, but he still comforted his wife, "It's just an inquiry now. It shouldn't be anything serious." . You know, Xiao Ke may have noticed something is wrong, such as muscle stretching. In order to prevent injuries, he needs to check some things. There is nothing wrong. "
Jiang Youning nodded to express his understanding, but his eyes were still firmly on Lu Ke, unblinking and motionless. She knew, she knew, and knew all the truth, but she was still worried, uncontrollably worried. Even if she couldn't help, she still wanted to stick by her son's side.
…
"Lu Ke, who just came off the field, seems to have some physical problems. The San Francisco 49ers team doctor has come to the field and is communicating with Lu Ke."
In the studio, Kirk was slightly slow for half a beat, but he also noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere within the San Francisco 49ers. He couldn't help but look away, and his voice showed concern. As we all know, Lu Ke's body is still thin and he does not have an advantage in confrontation ability; as the regular season progresses, this weakness will be further amplified.
"Now, we can only pray that the players will not be troubled by injuries and affect the excitement of this game." Kirk expressed his views from a neutral position, and then turned his attention to the New York Giants' offensive team. , the game continues, and the New York Giants' advancement also continues, which is still the focus of the field.
…
Walter Hudson, the official team doctor of the San Francisco 49ers, quickly came to Lu Ke's side. He did not start the diagnosis immediately, but asked about the situation, and then asked, "When did it start?"
"After the long pass in the first half, my muscles were slightly tightened, but the whole movement was not affected and there was no pain." Lu Ke said honestly. The super long pass of 61 yards, at any time, is worth four points. Wei's arm strength is a challenge.
In fact, through the accumulation of strength training and the gradual accumulation of basic points, Lu Ke's strength has made great progress. Compared with the beginning of the season, it is even more so than when he first got the system last year. Logically speaking, it should be easier for Lu Ke to complete long passes now, both from a paper perspective and a physical perspective.
But in actual situations, there are far more factors to consider.
It is now the tenth week of the regular season. The double test of physical strength and energy is constantly exerting pressure. The San Francisco 49ers can achieve a record of seven wins and one loss, and the passing offense is undoubtedly the main basis. All of this makes Lu Ke's arm faces more challenges.
After the 61-yard long pass, there was a slight tightening, but it was not obvious; after the pass just now, there were some deviations in the force control, so the nerves running through the muscles began to twitch non-stop.
Just like a circus tightrope performance, the tightrope looks tight and calm, but with each jump, the tightrope will tremble slightly. Now, his arm feels like this. It's not turbulent, but it does affect the control of passing. Especially Lu Ke is known for his accurate passing.
Walter pondered for a moment, stood up, and began to do a simple muscle massage on Lu Ke's arm. "It's probably just that the place where the force was exerted was not accurate, which caused some discomfort. It's not a big deal."
This situation is very common for quarterbacks. The passing arm is their special skill. After overuse, some special situations will more or less occur.
"Can you feel the pain if you massage like this?" As he massaged and asked, Walter was busy catching up with the rhythm of the game. No one knew when the New York Giants offensive team would end this push.
After feeling it carefully for a while, Lu Ke answered honestly, "It's a little sore, but it doesn't hurt."
"Well, there is no problem if you practice more regularly, but after each training, remember to massage and apply ice. The fatigue accumulates little by little, so you need to pay more attention. In the regular season, the recovery time is limited. Even after normal training, recovery and maintenance are necessary." Walter felt relieved, raised his head, and nodded towards Kip, indicating that it was okay.
In an instant, everyone let out a long breath, and you could clearly feel that the other players on the offensive team relaxed. Only then did they actually turn around and leave, slowly relaxing.
Lu Ke, who didn't know why, only vaguely noticed that the noise in his ears seemed to have increased a bit, but when he turned his head, he didn't see anything unusual, and his head was filled with questions and no answers.
"Did you hear what I just said to you?" Looking at the absent-minded Lu Ke, Walter deliberately made a serious face and said seriously.
Lu Ke nodded obediently and showed an expression like a good child, indicating that he understood.
…
On the field, the New York Giants continued a wave of offense for four minutes and 43 seconds, experienced two yellow flags and an early defensive move, but in the end they were still unable to get into the free kick range, and unfortunately they could only choose to punt. Manning's condition seems to be improving, but he still can't seem to feel it. It's so ambiguous that it's impossible to judge.
When the San Francisco 49ers came on next, Lu Ke's passing touch was more or less affected.
There was an inexplicable deviation in a short pass, missing by two full steps and falling into a no man's land. Such mistakes were really rare in previous games.
In addition, there were two short passes that had deviations in control of strength and angle. One time, Logan used his body to complete the ball almost dangerously, and the other time it jumped several times like a hot potato in Logan's hands. Finally, Still didn't catch it.
He played seven offensive games from beginning to end, got two first downs, and then unfortunately struck out.
Stumbling and bumping, the entire third quarter was so intermittent that the two teams seemed to have entered the quagmire of mistakes and fouls at the same time. Yellow flags were flying everywhere. In the end, whether it was the New York Giants or the San Francisco 49ers, There was no scoring in this quarter, so it entered the fourth quarter in a dull manner.
It's always like this in a strong showdown, either the sparks are brilliant, or both are sluggish, like a sap, mainly because the strength of the two sides is too close, and the rhythm of scheduling and adjustment can be said to be in a certain dimension. similar and close. So, when the last quarter started, the score was still "21:6".
But for the fans at Candlestick Stadium, they gradually discovered that something was wrong, not because the team's offensive team was in a quagmire, but because every time the offensive team came off the field, the team doctor was massaging Lu Ke's arms, and then combined with Lu Ke's passing accuracy is not stable, and the answer is already obvious.
Such worries and worries made the atmosphere at home even more depressing.
…
"Victor Cruz, the No. 80 wide receiver of the New York Giants, Cruz made an incredible catch. Under the double-team of three players, he grabbed the football and completed the catch. Facing a bad situation of seven yards on third down, he helped the team achieve a third-down conversion, beautiful!”
