It's a cliché, but the core meaning of Charles' long speech is still the same. The prejudices established from the first game of the regular season have never changed.
After the San Francisco 49ers faced two consecutive losses, the same rhetoric began to revive again, completely ignoring the team's previous victories and successes, which sounded really harsh.
"So, you're saying that the next two games are the real litmus test?" Spencer stripped away all the rhetoric and summed it up neatly.
"Yes." Charles affirmed frankly.
"So, what if the San Francisco 49ers succeed in winning? Are you ready to place another bet?" Spencer further accelerated the pace of his words, and the offensive edge gradually became sharper.
Charles' complacency and distortion of facts really made Spencer physically and mentally tortured and unbearable, so he resorted to aggressive tactics, staring at Charles teasingly and teasingly, and forcing him into a rut with a simple sentence .
In the past three weeks, Charles has become more and more arrogant and powerful, but he has learned wisely and no longer shoots off casually. He seems to have completely given up gambling. He no longer boasts casually to avoid letting himself get hurt. He was in a dilemma; but his words became more and more exaggerated, and the disdain and disregard in his words could hardly be concealed.
Now, Spencer has pierced this window: Since Charles is so sure that the San Francisco 49ers will not win, does he dare to bet again? If he doesn't dare, does it mean that Charles is completely firing his gun?
Charles' pupils shrank slightly, and he glared at Spencer fiercely, but he said quibly, "There are no bets, we are just analyzing the game now."
"Throw away that nonsense, do you think the San Francisco 49ers can win the game?" Spencer was aggressive, because Charles completely ignored the data, ignored the strength, and unreasonably refused to acknowledge the achievements of the San Francisco 49ers, then, he also Quite unreasonable.
"Of course not!" Charles blurted out.
Spencer nodded with satisfaction, "Then there is no problem. No matter what bet you choose, you will definitely win, so why worry? Maybe, you can make an interesting bet, and maybe you can get an unexpected reward. Woolen cloth?"
What was placed in front of him was a blatant trap, but Charles was in an extremely embarrassing situation. He could only move forward, not retreat. Even though he knew it was a trap, he could only jump forward bravely.
However, Charles is no fool.
The humiliation of "Across the Pacific" is still fresh in my mind. If the game where the Arizona Cardinals defeated the San Francisco 49ers hadn't happened so timely, I'm afraid Charles' suffering would have continued; but even so, now on the streets, There are still ordinary citizens making fun of Charles's "great achievements."
Such shame followed him closely and he could not get rid of it. Therefore, he has learned well now.
It's one thing to hate Lu Ke, but it's another thing to find himself in a dilemma. He will never fall into a humiliating rut because of Lu Ke; however, if he can add insult to injury when his opponent is in trouble, He doesn't mind getting his hands dirty either.
Indeed, Charles does not think that the San Francisco 49ers can win, let alone the Steelers. Even if they face the Cardinals, it is probably a disaster; but everything is possible in sports competitions, and no one can guess the unknown probability issues. There was too much uncertainty about the stakes, and he refused to make the same mistakes again.
Facing Spencer's aggressiveness, knowing that this was a trap, Charles still had to jump.
However, there are particularities to how to jump and how to jump. After a brief moment of irritation, Charles quickly calmed down, turned his thoughts around in his mind, and then said with a smile, "This way. Well, if the San Francisco 49ers can defeat the Cardinals and Steelers in a row, then I am willing to fulfill a promise and the punishment proposed by Lu Ke."
There are two pitfalls here.
First, consecutive defeats against the Cardinals and Steelers mean that the San Francisco 49ers must have excellent performance for two consecutive weeks in order to defeat strong opponents in a row, which undoubtedly sets up double insurance for Charles.
Second, it was Lu Ke who proposed the bet, seemingly handing over the initiative, but in fact, it was Charles who stood on the moral high ground.
If Lu Ke proposed an exaggerated bet, or even a bet that could not be completed, then Charles could play pitiful and guide the public opinion, thinking that Lu Ke was unreasonable and unforgiving, and that as a rookie player, he did not know the limits of the sky; if Lu Ke proposed A bet that doesn't hurt, then Charles doesn't care.
In other words, the initiative did fall into Lu Ke's hands, but Charles retreated in order to advance, and instead took more initiative. Especially when Lu Ke takes advantage of his situation, the program team can interfere with it, kill the bet in advance, and put all the blame on Spencer.
Charles has even thought about his retreat. If the San Francisco 49ers lose one game or two consecutive games, he will pretend to be compassionate, express regret and regret, and then give earnest advice. , the current 49ers are still too young, the future belongs to them, Lu Ke needs to continue to work hard. And so on and so forth.
What seems like praise is actually irony, once again proving that Charles' words at the beginning of the season are correct.
With face, dignity, victory and happiness. Charles was completely invincible.
What's more, Charles sincerely believes that the San Francisco 49ers cannot win these two games. Maybe it is possible to defeat the Cardinals, but the Steelers have little hope.
Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help but start to smile brightly. Seeing Spencer's expression stiffening little by little, Charles was even more proud. With a sincere expression on his face, he said, "We are all in peace." What do you think about it? Spencer, how about you also place a bet? "
Spencer's eyebrows couldn't help but tangled, and in a flash, he understood Charles's plan. Originally, Spencer was going to dig a hole for Charles to jump into; but this old fox learned a lot and took a series of insurance measures before jumping into the hole. He looked like a prey, but he could strike back and become a hunter at any time. .
Damn guy.
Spencer really didn't like Charles' smile, it looked really annoying.
Faced with Charles's counterattack, Spencer was about to speak, but the host Edward Bowen intervened in time and eliminated all conflicts, "Ha, it seems that during the vacation, these two people were in Las Vegas. Garth’s entertainment is not over yet, so in order to avoid investigation by law enforcement agencies, how about we keep those little secrets under the table?”
A burst of gags instantly resolved the tense conflict, and then the topic naturally returned to the regular season next week, asking various commentators and analysts for their views and opinions. Just this moment of handling showed Edward's profound hosting skills. It is true that not everyone can be qualified to host "within the alliance".
As mentioned just now, on the fourteenth day of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers will face the Arizona Cardinals again, but this time they will play away from home. Facing their opponents who just defeated them at home two weeks ago, the San Francisco 49ers' performance this week is also highly anticipated. This is a veritable battle of revenge.
Contrary to the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins, the Arizona Cardinals have embarked on a development curve that started low and went high this season. They started the season with one win and six losses and hit rock bottom. Just when everyone thought they would miss the playoffs. At that time, he unrelentingly started the counterattack mode.
In the ninth week of the regular season, the overtime victory over the St. Louis Rams became a turning point. Later, they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, upset the San Francisco 49ers, double-killed the St. Louis Rams, and finally faced the St. Louis Rams in the last week's game. The Dallas Cowboys once again dragged the game into overtime and defeated the Cowboys with the same score as in Week 9 - "19:13".
Now, the Arizona Cardinals have won five consecutive games and the team's record has become six wins and six losses.
Now, there are four games left in the season. Once the Cardinals can win a complete victory, it will be ten wins and ten losses, and the hope of the playoffs will be rekindled immediately. If the San Francisco 49ers lose all the next four games , that would be even more perfect. The Cardinals can completely replace their rivals in the same district and become the division champion.
So, the next week, the Cardinals' home game against the 49ers will be crucial. Perhaps, this game can be the beginning of another four-game losing streak for the opponent, just like the game they defeated their opponent at Candlestick Stadium three weeks ago.
The weight of such a game is naturally different, and the smell of gunpowder has also become completely different. The Arizona Cardinals' home court will never let victory slip away easily, which is one of the sources of Charles' confidence.
In fact, not only Charles, but after two consecutive losses, the analysts and commentators "within the league" have quietly changed; especially as the regular season draws to an end, there are more and more variables, and under pressure , the game will become more difficult.
Was the San Francisco 49ers' defeat in Thursday night's game a pure accident or a mental illness?
As soon as they entered and exited, the psychological balance of predictions tilted again. Fully six analysts and commentators chose to support the Arizona Cardinals, excluding Charles. They all believed that the Cardinals playing at home would be better for the season. Fight for the post-game seats.
This also means that only three commentators are optimistic that the San Francisco 49ers can complete their revenge. Overnight, the confidence and support the San Francisco 49ers had built seemed to fall apart.
But this is competitive sports, a cruel and cold-blooded world. There is no pity or sympathy in front of victory or defeat. The only way to gain recognition and support is to:
Victory, victory, victory!
