"Bambi, if we can continue to win the next two games, the San Francisco 49ers will usher in a long-lost ten-win season, and because of the winning and losing relationship in the same district, it is very likely to secure a playoff spot in advance. Regarding this , do you have any special ideas?"
Faced with such an unexpected question, Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and chose to tell the truth, "For me, the season seems to have just passed halfway, and it is really too early to think about the playoffs now."
This is what he really thinks.
But beyond that, joy and expectation are still burning brightly. "Of course, the playoffs are the goal of our entire team. We have a very, very good team. Next, we need to continue to work hard towards the goal." Heading into the playoffs. Undoubtedly, this is very important for us."
Lu Ke has not concealed his ambitions and expectations. Through the tempering and transformation of victory after victory, he is now gradually becoming a qualified professional player. Humility is a good virtue; but in competitive sports, behind humility one must maintain strong self-confidence. Only with enough firmness and sharpness can one break through the siege and take the initiative in the confrontation between strong ones.
Faced with Lu Ke's polite answer, the reporters were obviously not satisfied with such a superficial taste, and further raised more pointed topics.
"So, if after ten wins, it is really rare for a rookie player, what are your special feelings? Especially if you are still an undrafted rookie, obviously you did not expect it a few months ago. When this day comes, no one in the entire league expected such a situation.”
Trap, this is a small trap, trying to induce Lu Ke to say more radical remarks.
But Lu Ke would not be easily fooled. He looked at the reporter with a smile and said unhurriedly, "As you said, a few months ago, I did not expect the current situation at all; so, Tokachi I can’t predict what will happen next. Believe me, I’m just as new as you when it comes to prediction.”
Harry Wayans, the reporter for "Sports Illustrated" and the reporter who just asked the question, is like a dog-skin plaster, and his ghost is still there.
This time, after the questions and answers, the reporters chuckled again, but Harry still failed to achieve his wish. With a few quick changes of topic and some humor at his fingertips, Lu Ke successfully controlled the situation.
Harry was not surprised or angry at all, but immediately asked again, preparing to attack further aggressively.
However, this time Lu Ke did not give him a chance, "Journalist, please abide by the order? I think you don't want to be regarded as Chinese, otherwise, I won't be so special."
There is a needle hidden in the cotton and a hidden edge.
The Western world always accuses Chinese people of being unqualified, often jumping in line, spitting, running red lights, etc. This is a fact, and it exists objectively. In terms of average quality, the Chinese do still need to improve; but taking a step back, every country and region has areas with relatively low quality, and people with low quality are all over the world.
Now, Lu Ke used an ironic gesture to shut up Harry who was about to "jump in line"; he slapped Harry hard on the face with a clean slap.
Harry, who raised a pointed question, obviously would not give up; but Lu Ke used an insinuation to change the concept, which made Harry shut his mouth firmly, and he could only swallow the follow-up words calmly. As he spoke, he stared at Lu Ke with burning eyes. That unexplained look was hidden in the crowd, making it difficult to distinguish.
As for the other reporters, they savored the profound meaning of the words and the sparks of tit-for-tat. They happily sat on the sidelines and enjoyed the drama. Deep down, they were even cheering for Lu Ke and Harry. If two people start punching each other on the spot, that will be big news that will really shake up the entire league.
Unfortunately, Harry kept his mouth shut and did not continue to stir up trouble. This really made the reporters feel sad and regretful.
However, even without the confrontation between Harry and Lu Ke, today's game itself is full of topics and exciting events: the first confrontation between Lu Ke and Manning Jr., the strong showdown between the 49ers and the Giants, and the battle between Charles Davis and Spencer Larson's shocking bet.
"Bambi, before this game, Charles and Spencer made big bets respectively and made predictions about the outcome of this game. Now that the results are out, how do you feel now?"
Even Jay Fox can't avoid this problem.
Not only because this bet is so famous that it has attracted the attention of the entire league, even on the official media days of other teams, coaches and players have become the subject of questions and participated in this hot topic; but also because Lu In an unexpected interview on Thursday, Ke confidently responded and fought back, further arousing everyone's attention.
I heard that the casino city of Las Vegas even opened a betting game - not the outcome of the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants, which could have been a regular season bet; but Spencer and Charles losing. After the gambling session, it is possible to fulfill your bet.
Now, the results of the game are finally out, and it’s time to cash in on the bet. All reporters are curious about how Lu Ke will handle and respond, and Jay is no exception.
Lu Ke couldn't help but chuckle, because Eli had just expressed his congratulations.
Obviously, Eli also had the mentality of watching the good show. To a certain extent, he was even a little gloating. He seemed to be very happy to see Charles defeated - or he wanted to see how Charles fulfilled his bet.
But such a smile has a completely different meaning in the eyes of reporters. It can be interpreted as the winner's ease and ease, or even as the winner's ridicule and provocation to the loser. Thinking back to Thursday’s interview, the reporters suddenly became excited——
The climax is coming.
"Thank you Mr. Spencer Larson for your support of the team. It is our honor that the team can help Mr. Larson win this bet. In the future, we hope that Mr. Larson will have the opportunity to come to Candlestick Stadium in person. Watching football." Lu Ke's answer was quite satisfactory, even a little boring, just official polite words.
However, upon careful interpretation, it is completely different:
Charles is not mentioned at all throughout the article, and disdain and disdain are expressed in a supportive manner, as well as...complete disregard. This is the real high-end technique, and the magic attack has been completed before you know it.
Even though this is not the first time that reporters have dealt with Lu Ke, in the final analysis, Lu Ke is still a rookie, and everyone lacks understanding of him. Every week is refreshing and extremely surprising.
Only Jay pursed his lips and snickered: Top students at UCLA are definitely not that simple.
"What about Charles Davis? What do you think?"
It was not Harry who asked the question, because every reporter in the audience was curious about the answer to this question. There was no need for Harry to intervene, so naturally some people couldn't wait to speak out. Moreover, the reporter who asked the question was worried that Lu Ke would continue to avoid it. He simply spoke in plain English and went straight to Huanglong——
"I mean, Charles said that if the 49ers won the game, then he would climb all the way from Hollywood to the Great Wall; and at the same time, in the interview on Thursday, you also gave advice..."
"I know what suggestion I gave." Lu Ke took the initiative to interrupt the reporter's question and said with a smile, "I really meant that suggestion. I think it is a more reasonable and practical solution now. After all, , I don’t think Mr. Charles Davis can become another Robinson Crusoe and complete the bet after crossing the Pacific.”
Done!
All the reporters were exchanging glances, too excited to control themselves!
Although the gambling showdown between Charles and Spencer was full of countless highlights and highlights, it was ultimately just a verbal spat between two analysts and commentators, and it only took place on the program "Inside the League." Discussing the heat and intensity is still a bit insufficient——
In order to avoid an embarrassing situation, or to avoid bad influence, if ESPN TV is willing, it can intervene to avoid the dilemma of the two commentators and analysts, or even help them rescue them, and treat the entire gambling situation as a program segment.
After all, the stakes this time are really too big, it's not just "eating the microphone alive" last time.
Now that the real party involved in the bet is involved, the situation is completely different. It is not so simple for Charles to settle the matter; it has further evolved into a tit-for-tat confrontation between commentators and players. The reporters could use Lu Ke as an excuse to force Charles to honor his bet.
It is worth mentioning that Manning was asked a similar question after the game, and his answer was even more intriguing, "Unfortunately, we were not able to help; however, compared to Mr. Charles Davis, For now, the team needs to face the bitter consequences of defeat, and we really don’t have the energy to help.”
On the surface, it looks like official polite remarks, but different reporters have different tastes in it. What's more, besides Lu Ke, Eli also gave a side response, which is definitely not good news for Charles.
At the same time, during the post-game interview session, Lu Ke's answer was not over yet. Just like a friendly suggestion after the first week of the regular season, Lu Ke sincerely proposed a solution.
"While I'm not sure how many months it would take Mr. Davis to kneel all the way to the Statue of Liberty, it is at least a possible solution."
After the chocolate microphone, Lu Ke's speech again led Charles to another path of no return: a path where he could not deny it even if he wanted to.
Now everyone knows that the rookie quarterback is definitely not a soft persimmon.
