Patrick Willis met defensive coach Vic Fangio while stealing money. Both of them had unexpected looks in their eyes. They didn't expect to meet each other here.
Fangio was the first to speak, "Why are you here? Isn't Julie angry? It's a holiday after all, and she must hope that you can stay at home with the children."
Julie, that's Willis' wife.
Willis shrugged and said helplessly, "I spent the whole day doing nothing at home yesterday. Julie felt that I was in a bad state and kicked me out. She thought that me being at home would affect the children's learning."
As a veteran of the league, I have long been accustomed to losing. Haven't the San Francisco 49ers lost enough games in the past few years? But this time, the situation was slightly different. He could feel the low pressure within the team, and the unwillingness was always lingering; even if he stayed at home, he kept thinking about the fragments of that game in his mind.
His wife noticed his absent-mindedness and "kicked" him out.
"What about you?" Willis asked.
Fangio let out a long breath, "Studying the game video, it's not just a problem with the offensive team, but also a serious problem with our defensive efficiency when facing Joe Flacco. Jim came to the training base yesterday, and I Come over and have a meeting with him today to discuss." The defensive team is not the San Francisco 49ers' strong point, but their help is indispensable to win the game.
Obviously, this factory profit, or in other words, this two-game losing streak, has had an impact on the team far beyond imagination. In fact, this is a good thing, because everyone is full of hope for victory. Desire, unable to tolerate the impact of failure.
Willis and Fangio exchanged glances, then took steps toward the training ground one after the other.
From a distance, they saw several colleagues standing at the door of the training ground, offensive coach Craig Roman, quarterback coach Kip Kleist, offensive line coach Mike Solari and Tim -Dreno, a group of people stayed in place bustlingly, but did not go in. They looked like they were watching the excitement.
"What's wrong?" Fangio stepped forward and asked, but without needing to answer, his eyes were directed towards the training. Then, with a look of astonishment on his face, he reflexively turned to look at Willis. "Do you know about this?"
Willis didn't know why, so he followed closely, and then saw the scene on the training note:
About twenty people were scattered in different locations on the training ground. Youren were slowly warming up, they were doing impact training, and they were doing auxiliary training in pairs. The whole training ground was in full swing and bustling. A scene of vitality, even more wonderful than the warm winter sun in the early morning.
There are more than 20 players, which is only less than half of the team's 53-person roster. This does not include the number of training players. On such a huge training bill, it looks a bit awkward, but every corner of the field of vision is visible. They were all packed to the brim, and the surging atmosphere was so intense that you could feel it even standing outside the training hall.
It was Saturday, the team’s official day off.
There is still a long time before the next game. For the coaching staff, what they are most worried about is the players' scolding and causing trouble, not to mention major accidents, even if it is just casual drinking, wanton partying, and failure to abide by the rules of the regular season. , which then affects the subsequent game status, which is enough to cause a headache.
But who would have thought that not only did the players not indulge or relax, but they also spontaneously came to the training base and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to training. Such a scene is surprising and even more touching.
Willis opened his mouth slightly and tried to say something, but no words came out.
It has been five seasons since he joined the league, but to be honest, he has never seen such a scene, and has never felt such concentration and devotion. The desire for victory and the standardization of his career are really big. Eye-opening.
"I don't know." Willis spread his hands. As the captain of the defensive team, he had never heard of today's training, and on the ball banknotes, he could see many defensive players, including Colin Jones. , Reggie Smith, Navolo Bowman. This was really too unexpected. He couldn't help but swayed again, "I uh, I don't know, really, I don't know."
Willis and Fangio turned their attention to the training ground again. The team in front of them was so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.
Defensive front coach Mike Solari said, "I just asked the doorman, and he said that the first person to arrive at the training ground today was Lu Ke. He seemed to show up around five o'clock."
"It's not unexpected." Craig Roman said smoothly, having long been accustomed to Lu Ke's diligence, "But this, what is going on?" It is normal for Lu Ke to appear; but other players Woolen cloth? What's going on?
However, no one could give the answer, not even Willis.
Two days ago, after losing the game, the atmosphere within the entire team was terrible. Not to mention Lu Que's outburst in the locker room, and the subsequent silence on the plane was so tight that it was almost suffocating. They even They avoid looking at each other, let alone talking to each other. Everyone wears earplugs to exclude all distractions and immerse themselves in their own world.
But two days later, a harmonious scene once again appeared on the training base. What happened?
"I'm not surprised." Kip suddenly expressed his opinion, and all eyes were focused on it. "Have you heard of an interesting thing? In the training camp before the start of the senior season, Bambi and the team members The backup quarterback got into a physical altercation, which made the coach furious.”
"Because Bambi is like a lunatic. In ordinary simple training, he goes all out like the last offense of the Super Bowl. In the eyes of the main players, Bambi is a lunatic who is constantly training. Showing off his diligence and dedication not only makes the main players uncomfortable, but also the other sparring players, because the coaches are always praising Bambi, causing other sparring players to have to work harder."
Kip's words echoed softly, and everyone couldn't help but look at the training ground again. Their eyes fell on Lu Ke, who was concentrating on collision training. It was not a daily training for quarterbacks, but in order to avoid collisions, he was also sacking. To better protect themselves, quarterbacks will also be asked to participate in some drills.
The scene in front of them reminds people of the nine sacks in the last game. Everyone thought that Lu Ke, who was weak, was bound to suffer injuries, but in fact, without him knowing it, Lu Ke's physical fitness also increased slowly and effectively.
This is the Luoyaxiu, which has been criticized countless times by people, but it has grown up step by step under their noses. Now looking back at the past few months of training, they know that none of this happened out of thin air.
Kip didn't continue talking, he started and ended in a haphazard manner, but it seemed that the answer just stood out.
All along, Lu Yan has been working tirelessly and persistently to integrate into the team bit by bit in his own way.
In the face of doubts and provocations, actions always come first than words, and training is always more important than conflicts.
In the face of failure and setbacks, he is always the one who refuses to give up or compromise, whether in training or in competition.
Twelve weeks have passed since the regular season, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in the locker room, but after Thursday night's game, that was Lu Ke's first complaint, first accusation, first anger, and first time losing control. He always leads by example, proves himself with practical actions, and leads the team to victory step by step.
After losing the game with three interceptions, Lu took responsibility. During the interview with reporters, he took all the blame on his shoulders and refused to blame his teammates, saying that he must continue to work hard and continue to learn.
After nine sacks brought about a tragic loss, Lu Kaijiu did not get angry-at least not in front of reporters. He just said sincerely that no one likes to lose, and they must study this factory's advantage carefully and where they fell. , just stand up from where you are.
After two consecutive losses, the person with the greatest pressure on the entire team was not Jim Harbaugh, but Lu Ke.
Because he is a Chinese player, because he is a rookie, and because his resume is too thin, he is like a natural scapegoat, and all mistakes can be easily blamed on him.
However, it was still Lu Ke who was the first to stand up again, face defeat, and start again.
There is one word to describe such a player: leader.
A true team leader uses his actual actions and his own spiritual strength to lead the team step by step out of the quagmire and back on track.
Willis suddenly laughed and didn't come. He now finally knows what is causing his uneasiness and uneasiness. Even after five years of wallowing in the alliance, the company's profits still make him sleepless and restless. Now, he finally finds a reason. .
The training in front of you is the answer.
Without saying anything, Willis turned around and took steps forward. Fangio noticed his movement and asked in a loud voice, "Patrick? Where are you going?"
"Locker room. Training." Willis did not look back, but simply replied that even the little players had begun training. As the captain of the defensive team, he must also speed up, otherwise, the progress will not be caught up.
In the next game, they are not going to lose three games in a row. Victory is their only pursuit.
The coaches standing there looked at each other, an indescribable feeling stirring in their chests, especially the two offensive line coaches, whose smiles couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
"How about it? Should we start working too? Otherwise, I think I might be soft-spoken in the tactical meeting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Kip said with a smile.
Solari was the first to respond, "What are you waiting for? Let's go! We also have to increase our power."
