"Wow, this is really unexpected. Right, Kirk?"
"No, Teddy, I hold the opposite view to you. I think this is the picture to be expected. Candlestick Stadium is becoming an emerging devil's home stadium in the league, and the loyalty of the fans has been fully reflected. Although we still don’t know the reason, and although it will still need to be tested by time in the future, for now, they are not fans of victory, but fans of the team.”
"Yes, this view still needs to stand the test of time, but at least today's Candlestick Stadium did make the visiting team feel the tremendous pressure of the roaring tsunami. Friends in front of the TV, please turn the TV sound Turn it up and let’s take in the roar and cheers!”
In the Candlestick Stadium, the fans seemed to feel the call from Fox TV. The uniform and overwhelming cheers became more and more violent, like hundreds of jet planes circling overhead at the same time, the whistling sound in the sky. The following stirred up the echo of blockbusters——
"We are! The Nine! We are! Warriors!"
"We are! The Nine! We are! Warriors!"
Over and over again, one wave higher than the next, circling and echoing continuously, the majestic and powerful sound is like the roar of the Niagara Falls, boom, boom, boom, creating incredible ripples on the eardrums, Even apart from the TV screen, every audience can truly feel the vastness of the scene.
So, what will it be like to be there?
It's another home match day. Two weeks ago, we just experienced a miserable home defeat, which regrettably ended the unbeaten season at home. A week ago, we just experienced a tragic away defeat, ushering in the second consecutive season of the season. The bad situation of defeat, this week's home match day, aroused countless people's suspicion and worry.
Among fans, there is a group of people who admire victory and hate defeat. Whenever they win, they become the team's support; and when they face failure, they disappear without a trace, as if they have never cared about this team. They have a collective name called "Victory Fans"——
We are fans only when we win.
Every team and every league has such fans, which is understandable. After all, no one likes to lose. When participating in competitive sports, no one plays for the sake of failure. It is to defeat the opponent and to defeat oneself.
However, in competitive sports, there are winners and losers, and failure is always an indispensable part. If you lose your opponent, victory will not exist; and a strong opponent will make victory become Be more wonderful.
Experiencing failure is painful. For the team, they need to work together to overcome this difficulty, and they also need the support and trust of the fans to move forward side by side, through the darkest years together, and move towards a bright future step by step. The harder the situation is, the more unity is needed; the darker the situation, the more companionship is needed.
This is not an easy task.
Life is always like this. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help in times of need. But it is precisely because of this that the friendship becomes deeper after sharing adversity and truly establishes a connection between the fans and the team. The bitterness of failure becomes half when shared; and the joy of victory becomes double when shared.
This season, the San Francisco 49ers have suddenly emerged as one of the brightest sights in the league. Candlestick Stadium is full, and the queues for buying tickets are getting longer and longer. The entire ball market has swept away the sluggishness and depression at the beginning of the season. Dull.
Naturally, people will think that this is a group of winning fans, gathered together because of victory, and united because of victory; when failure comes, the party is over, especially when facing a losing streak, the carnival is over. Dispersed.
But today, the city of San Francisco handed over a perfect answer to the entire league, telling those doubters with their heads held high: Once upon a time, this was a team that created countless brilliance; A team with countless die-hard fans; once, this was a team that had been supported by the entire city for generations.
In the past eight years of silence, those diehard fans seemed to have disappeared, but they never left. This group of fans called the "49ers" still live on this land, and the red-gold blood is still boiling in their veins.
They have seen countless storms and waves, they have experienced countless ups and downs, and they have tasted countless ups and downs. Even this season is no exception. After three consecutive wins and a head-on attack by the Philadelphia Eagles, they did not give up. After five consecutive wins and two consecutive losses, they still did not give up.
At 1:15 in the afternoon on December 4th, 70,000 fans came to the Candlestick Stadium in unison, and the venue was packed; what was even more frightening was that there were still a large number of die-hard fans gathered at the entrance of the stadium, holding the ball high. The ticket sign was waiting patiently.
The hot and boiling scene completely ignited the enthusiasm of Candlestick Stadium. The city is showing its support and affirmation with practical actions, and is also lighting up a candlelight in a personal way to guide the team to overcome the thick atmosphere. Through the fog, towards a bright future. They will never leave!
Above the stadium stands, Jonathan Baldwin stared at a corner. After receiving a positive signal, he turned his head, waved to several other friends standing behind, and then greeted vigorously, "Quick! Quick!"
Cliff Hart, who was standing at the front, nodded vigorously, carried his special support flag, shook it vigorously in the air, and stretched the entire flag, with the innocent Bambi facing the wind. Fluttering, then, he turned his head, and behind him stood a group of friends, their eyes shining with excitement, "Guys, it's our turn!"
Jeff Locke jumped on the spot several times with joy, raised his right hand and made an "OK" gesture to indicate that he was ready; then, Danny Reese and Nate Chandler behind him , Chris Wilson also responded one after another, showing their determination in their own way.
Chris Wilson's whole body was filled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to shout, "Go! Go! Let those doubters and opponents see the power of the 49ers! Hurry up!" That hoarse shout made the whole person They all became excited.
Chris frankly admitted that in the past three weeks, he has been worried and tossing and turning. Because of the two consecutive defeats, his mood was extremely low and difficult to recover; moreover, because of the confusion and loss of Alai after the defeat, as well as the curses and curses of the fans. leave.
What he is worried about is not the complaints and accusations from the fans, but that after the "Victory Fans" reveal their true colors, all the glory and noise will instantly collapse like a sand castle.
No one likes to lose. In the face of failure, fans’ negative emotions are bound to be vented, looking for the problem, looking for an outlet for victory, and then looking forward to getting back on the right track in the next game. Fans’ complaints and Blame is inevitable.
But the question is, after the failure, how many fans are willing to stay, accompany the team through the difficulties, and accompany the team through the ups and downs?
At the beginning of the season, Chris still vividly remembers the boredom and depression of the fans. At that time, the team was still winning, and everyone had already shown such distrust. Now that they have lost, wouldn't it be even more disintegrated? What's even more frightening is that this is still two consecutive defeats. Two miserable losses in a row are really demoralizing.
Until today, all worries and uneasiness have disappeared. Looking at the boundless vast red ocean in front of him, Chris couldn't help but start jumping lightly, as if every cell in his body was fully opened, shouting and roaring. , laughing, this is the true face of the 49ers——
Celebrate the joy of victory with the team, and overcome the difficulties of failure with the team. They support each other and reach the pinnacle of their dreams side by side!
"Come-On!" Chris clenched his fists and shouted forgetfully, calling on his friends to get excited together, with a wanton smile and a wanton look, under the flag fluttering in the wind. , reflecting the sun's rays.
The other friends couldn't hold back their excitement, and one by one they started shouting loudly, "Hurry up! Hurry up!"
Then Cliff started running! Raise the flag high and run selflessly, crazily and happily. The bright flag draws a long track under the blue sky.
Then it was Jeff, then Danny, Nate, and Chris. One after another, five fans raised five flags and ran around the circular channel at the bottom of the stadium.
Hula, hula...
As the flag moved, the turbulent waves of people began to rise and fall, like a vast ocean, gently but magnificently, gently but majesticly stirring up the waves, and began to set off a stormy sea around the Candlestick Stadium.
In sight, the layers of huge red waves were surging, pushing the wave of cheering and support from the audience to an incredible height. The dazzling and dazzling red burst out with unimaginable huge energy, vast and mighty. The ground was released, and in an instant, the entire stadium completed its transformation and became a completely ignited powder keg!
In the midst of the majestic red wave of people, the fans in the south stands turned out a giant logo, which once again became a beautiful sight in the home court: King of the Bay Area!
That vivid and giant puzzle piece was surging in the boiling giant waves, complementing the flags flying wantonly around the field, strongly announcing the return of their king. This is their home court, this is their territory. , this is their country, and any intruder will never be able to escape easily. They will fight for victory until the last moment!
"We are! The Nine! We are! Warriors!"
