The entire league knows that Charles Davis is dead.
On the "Within the League" program, Charles really fulfilled his bet, although in an opportunistic way, but there is no doubt that this still left a five-finger palm print on Charles' face, and It will be a mark of shame for Charles for a long time to come.
The enlarged version of the world map was undoubtedly a good idea, as it prevented Charles from falling into a more embarrassing situation; but such an ingenious idea still could not hide the fact that Charles was repeatedly slapped in the face. This somersault really left Charles bruised and bruised.
Compared with the "Swallowing the Microphone Alive" in the first week, this time's "Across the Pacific" is not at the same level in terms of influence, attention, or even severity. It has risen several steps. Even among the fancy gambling games in Las Vegas, this is unique.
The upsurge in online click-through rates and program ratings is only one aspect of the far-reaching repercussions of the incident. On the second day after the "Inside the League" recording program was broadcast, more than 150 sports media reported on it and spread it widely. Following Charles's failures and dilemmas, and the humiliating execution of the bet.
All media colleagues couldn’t wait to add insult to injury and started talking about it. For them, Lu Ke is the explosive point. Similarly, Charles can also be the explosive point. If necessary, they themselves can also become the explosive point. Suddenly, this has become the biggest focus since the 2011 season, at least one of the focuses:
It’s a Chinese-American undrafted rookie, it’s a series of disappointments for analysts and commentators, it’s a shocking comeback victory, and it’s an incredible bet. With such hot topics colliding together, how could it not attract attention? How could it not spark discussion?
From the media to the audience, from the sports industry to the entertainment industry, from fans to ordinary people, everyone is discussing this farce. On the one hand, Charles's downfall and embarrassment are the best way to make him laugh on the Internet. On the other hand, the name "Lu Ke Skywalker" is now evolving into a new popular symbol, just like the real "Star Wars" movie.
First it was the Detroit Lions, and then the New York Giants. In both of the two strong matches, Lu Ke gave wonderful performances, and made the black men headed by Charles stumble many times in a row. Such performance has become a favorite among young people. One of the most popular topics.
Charles was facing the biggest crisis of his career, and he put all the blame on Lu Ke, truly forming a sworn feud; but for Lu Ke, after the post-match reporter interview, he had already left behind In the back of his mind, as a professional athlete, Lu Ke must focus on more important things than Charles and his boring gambling.
Although the NFL is also a stage that attracts much attention, this is competitive sports, not a Hollywood show. Tidbits off the field are always just embellishments, performance on the field and victory in the game are the core focus.
Lu Ke reminded himself all the time that all auras come from winning. Once you start losing, the aura will disappear in a matter of minutes. As an Asian living in North America and an undrafted rookie struggling on the field, Lu Ke has a deeper understanding of this.
But it is really not an easy task, especially when after victory after victory, applause and cheers are pouring in continuously. Just now, I was bathed in the scorching light of reporters' spotlights, and when I entered the locker room, I was shocked. Feeling the effect of the spotlight, there was no time or space to think, and the fanatical pursuit rushed towards me.
The time point is reset to after the post-game interview session against the New York Giants.
At that time, people didn't know how Charles would fulfill his bet promise. People didn't know that the ups and downs of this game had become the official recommendation of the league. People didn't know that Lu Ke had really attracted countless fans through his victory in this game.
However, at that time, the San Francisco 49ers players also knew clearly that even if the halo of off-field news was stripped away, Lu Ke was still a rising star in the team, not only because of his fame as an undrafted rookie, but also because The speed of rise is really beyond everyone's imagination, even... reaching the sky in one step.
Lu Ke pushed the door open and entered the locker room. In an instant, all the scorching eyes swarmed in from all directions and fell intensively on his skin. They were hot and sharp, as if a pot of boiling water was poured directly over him. Lu Ke's movements couldn't help but pause for a moment, and he looked at Colin Jones, who was closest to him, with great confusion and questions.
Jones did not answer, but raised his hands excitedly and gave a thumbs up to Lu Ke.
It looked like he was celebrating the victory of the game, but he always felt something strange that he couldn't explain. Lu Ke tilted his head, unable to explain the reason, and walked into the locker room in confusion. Then I saw teammates rushing up one after another, their wide eyes clearly showing admiration and envy. Thumbs up seemed to be a standard gesture.
This scene is getting weirder and weirder.
Two guys, Logan and Marcus, rushed up one after another, hitting Lu Ke's shoulders hard, and slapping Lu Ke's back hard. It looked like they were teaming up to beat Lu Ke, which made Lu Ke He couldn't help but start to cry out in pain, and shook off Bala's hand on his body, "Hey! Hey! You two! Are you an ADD patient?"
ADD patients are attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patients.
But the two guys didn't care at all, attacking each other from left to right, "Tell me honestly, when did this happen? There was no news at all before!"
"That's right, you actually accomplished such a thing secretly! It's so scary!"
"Tell me, tell me, how did you meet? Could it be a conversation in a bar? Hahahaha."
"Today he actually came to watch the game on site. This must be an unusual relationship. He actually hid it from us for so long. We have to treat him to a treat today. Do you think he would refuse if we invited him to go to the bar to drink together?"
"Try it, try it. Wait, are you planning to meet in private? How about you include me?"
"And me, and me!"
"Let's go to the bar together and do it together."
There was no clue at all in the chattering words. Not only was the question unanswered, but it became more and more confusing. Lu Ke had to raise his right hand and gave two people a blow to the forehead respectively. He looked at the grinning man who was grinning and rubbing his head. Two guys, Lu Ke spread his hands, "What are you talking about? Who can explain to me?"
At this moment, Aldon Smith also passed by Lu Ke with a look of surprise on his face, his eyes almost falling out, and then he raised his thumbs up to Lu Ke and stuck out his tongue in an exaggerated manner. Roaring loudly, "Sag!"
At the same time, he squatted down in an exaggerated manner, imitating the black hip-hop singer's awesome walking posture, and showed off. However, his knees became weak for a while, and he almost fell down, like a funny clown.
Looking at the funny Aldon in front of them, Logan and Marcus laughed shamelessly, but Lu Ke couldn't laugh and pointed at Aldon, "That's it, that's it, what's going on here?" Something? And you two!"
"It's Leo, Leonardo DiCaprio, don't you know?" Logan's words of explanation came over, without beginning or end, and still failed to explain the situation, but it was not needed, because The person involved appeared in Lu Ke's sight, and all the questions were answered instantly, and at the same time, more questions were raised——
Accompanied by Sophie Brooke, Leonardo walked towards him with a smile on his face. Standing on the other side were Colin Kaepernick and Michael Crabtree, and several other players fell behind. Two or three steps, bustling crowds followed, forming a pattern of stars over the moon.
Although people always say that culture and sports belong to the same family, there are many similarities between competitive sports and the entertainment industry. They both live under the spotlight, they both stand on the stage and conquer the audience with their own performances, and they both use their own Performance earns income, and at the same time, they win the favor of advertising sponsors. In addition, they are the focus of TV, newspapers and new media.
But in fact, the intersection between the two industries is not as much as imagined. More often than not, the two sides are in two different fields that have nothing to do with each other. Actors may support their own teams, and players may favor different actors.
Therefore, when actors and athletes are in the same situation, the scene is quite lively.
In the current San Francisco 49ers team, there are no top superstars. Patrick Willis and Vernon Davis are the most famous players in the league; but on the other hand, Leonardo DiCaprio Leo is a world-famous top star, as far away as "Titanic" and more recently as "Inception". He is definitely one of the actors that people are familiar with.
So, all the scenes just now have been explained. No wonder all the players are so excited, no wonder everyone is excited, no wonder everyone is jumping up and down. After just winning a hard-fought victory, a world-famous top actor visits the locker room to express his congratulations in person. Is there anything more exciting?
But the question is, why? Why is everyone giving Lu Ke a thumbs up? Also, why did Leonardo appear in the locker room? If Lu Ke remembers correctly, Leonardo should be a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers and has little knowledge of football. So, what is going on? ?
At this moment, Sophie also noticed Lu Ke's figure, stopped, and showed a professional and decent smile, "Welcome our hero on his triumphant return. Just in time, we have distinguished guests visiting today."
