"Bambi, do you have any special feelings after winning such an epic victory?"
A quite question, but it made Lu Ke ponder for a moment, panting heavily. His physical condition was still not fully recovered. The physical exertion was far more serious than any other game, but his concentrated brain was not at all. I didn’t feel it, so I thought about it seriously and then said:
"Although it sounds ridiculous, the fact is that through this game, I proved that I can stand on this field, I can complete the pass, I can lead the offense to score a touchdown, and, I I can win the game. So, since I can do it, I believe that more people can do it too.”
Fifteen weeks have passed since the regular season, and Lu Ke has already stood on the court and completed fifteen games, but it was not until today that Lu Ke truly proved himself. This is also the meaning of "absurd" in Lu Ke's words. It is absurd and magical, but it is the reality in social life.
Those issues about whether Lu Ke can become an excellent quarterback still need time to settle and refine. One rookie season is not enough to prove this; but those about whether Lu Ke can become a quarterback, a The controversy surrounding a rugby player can now be settled.
More importantly, those negative remarks about race can all be shut up.
After the words fell, Lu Ke himself felt a surge of emotion, and the emotions on the tip of his tongue became complicated again.
"Bambi, what you said just now, are you referring to those racist remarks?" The aggressive question rang out again, and the familiar voice did not need to be identified at all, and it was determined to be Harry Wayans, the haunting one. That reporter, like a poisonous snake that spits out information, is always waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Lu Ke showed a big smile, looked confidently in the direction of the source of the sound, his eyes fell on Harry, and he gave the answer neatly and accurately, "Yes." So confident, Such a firm and upright answer made Harry's malicious speculation become dirty.
Then, Lu Ke went on to say, "Standing on this court, I just want to focus on the game and pass the ball. So, instead of paying attention to labels that have no meaning at all, it is better to pay close attention to the games and training." Matters. What needs to be proved, I have already proved, so let’s focus on this victory, how about it?”
For the second time, Lu Ke once again responded positively to those discriminatory and negative remarks.
If it’s about race, you can shut up now. Lu Ke has proven himself with victory after victory. As for those remarks about competition and competition, let them go. This is competitive sports. Lu Ke is very willing to compete with his absolute strength on the court.
This time the counterattack was like a slap in the face, hitting Harry hard on the face, leaving a burning five-finger mark.
As a reporter, how could Harry be so helpless? He reflexively prepared to ridicule: The person who just took the initiative to bring up the issue of race was clearly Lu Ke. Faced with an ordinary official question, Lu Ke himself brought up the topic of racial issues in the past two weeks. However, now he is dismissing a sensitive topic and blaming reporters for not asking too many questions. This is completely a bitch and a new sign.
But it was a pity that Harry didn't have time to speak. Other reporters asked questions even faster, taking away Harry's right to speak in an instant, "Bambi, may I ask, what happened in the first half?" During the break, you were unable to return to the court. Was there something wrong with your body?"
Harry was left alone, his cheeks turning red and white, and he cast a vicious look at his colleagues, only to find that no one paid any attention to him. Then, Harry realized that there were too many focuses on this much-anticipated game, and everyone was eager to get information. Who would pay attention to him?
"I'm not sure, but my condition is indeed not very good. My body feels a little heavy, maybe I have a cold. So, I stayed in the locker room to rest and adjust for a while. Unfortunately, I missed the beginning of the third quarter. ." Before leaving the stadium and entering the player tunnel, team doctor Walter specifically found Lu Ke and carefully explained that he should not reveal his physical condition for the time being and just answer with a cold.
Mainly because the playoffs are approaching, opponents must be speculating on the status of the San Francisco 49ers. Unless their team can determine the situation, it will not be made public for the time being.
"So what about now? How are you doing now?" Sure enough, the reporter was still chasing after him.
"Judging from the results of the game, I think my condition should be pretty good." Lu Ke avoided the topic and responded with a little humor.
Then there were some routine questions, about the two-point conversion at the end of the game, about Roethlisberger's evaluation, about the Steelers' defense, about his thoughts on returning to the playoff ranks, and so on, in a roundabout way. After a long circle, Harry finally found an opening again and asked his question.
"Next game, the 49ers are going to Seattle to face the Seahawks on the road. Among the Seahawks, this year's rookie cornerback Richard Sherman called you a 'grandstanding clown.' To this, you have What do you think?"
On the surface, this is just a bickering topic between two players; but deep down, it is still a topic of racial discrimination.
In the past week, related topics have been abuzz, and the topic has continued to heat up. Some people even directly connected the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with Lu Ke's career. If this Monday night game is lost, the racial jokes will probably be there for a long time. It won't calm down for a while, until everyone gets tired of it.
The intensity and scope of the incident are far beyond imagination.
It is precisely because of this that when answering the first question, Lu Ke chose to take the initiative, responded to the racial-related controversies first, and gave the most favorable counterattack with a wonderful victory; and then expressed his position, All conflicts will be resolved within the game and let strength speak for itself.
Lu Ke took the first step and blocked all possibilities, which also made the reporters very frustrated.
If we don't mention it, then this week's hot topic will be completely obsolete. Lu Ke's neither humble nor overbearing response just now has no possibility of making it a hot topic; if he continues to mention it, it will give Lu Ke a handle to fight back against reporters.
After detouring for a long time, Harry found the entry point again, and the war rekindled. Because when Richard was interviewed last week, he was provoking the bottom line of racial topics both inside and outside his words, and he did not hide his contempt and ridicule at all.
Lu Ke took his time and asked, "Who is talking?"
This sentence without reference could be interpreted with different meanings, but Harry followed closely and forced the topic into the topic, raising his voice and saying, "Richard Sherman." Further forcing Lu Ke to respond .
Lu Ke didn't mind either. He lowered his chin to show his understanding, "Yes, I'm not the one who speaks."
clown? Who is the real clown?
Lu Ke concentrated on preparing for the game on the training ground and successfully won a hard-fought victory? Or is it Richard who keeps talking nonsense in front of media reporters but has never been able to gain a foothold in the starting position?
This is the profound meaning of Lu Ke's two sentences just now, and he responded concisely and clearly in one question and one answer.
Harry opened his mouth, but found that he could no longer say the next words.
First, there was the racial issue, and Lu Ke blocked his mouth; then, the players bickered, and they were ridiculed again. To extend it further, if the reporter continues to pester, will the reporter become a "grandstanding clown"?
Is this the reporter's own divergent thinking and overthinking, or is it because Lu Ke is superior and slapped him in the face?
Harry suddenly realized that he did not dare to gamble, and his follow-up questions were stuck in his throat. Then another impulsive reporter next to him asked, "Bambi, are you mocking Richard Sherman as a clown?" ?"
"Now you are talking." Lu Ke still had a warm smile on his lips, but his understatement made the reporter choke. Everyone could hear the deep meaning of this sentence - —The clown is the one who is making innocent provocations, creating explosive moments, and paying attention to gossip.
Unknowingly, they were already at a disadvantage, and more importantly, they had walked into their own trap.
Now, does Lu Ke mean to shut up the reporters? Otherwise, they are like clowns, nagging on a topic and refusing to let go? The once uncrowned king has now become a clown?
But what’s worse is that they have no way to argue back!
It's not because Lu Ke's eloquence is so incredible that they can't refute it, but because the racial issue is already relatively sensitive. Lu Ke has already fought back with a victory today. They have been pestering him now, and it's easy to If you get angry and burn yourself, you will steal the chicken but lose the rice.
But, are they going to give up like this?
Standing aside, Harry didn't know whether he should burst into laughter or be angry. Fortunately, his hunch was correct and he shut his mouth in time, otherwise he would be the one who was embarrassed now; the annoying thing is that this time During the confrontation, they still failed to gain the upper hand.
I'm not happy if I guess right, and I'm not happy if I guess wrong. This kind of frustration is really difficult to express.
Harry had prepared countless drafts for today's focus battle, but now that Lu Ke took the initiative, he completely disrupted the entire plan, and then easily took control of the entire scene. How could this... be so embarrassing?
Harry couldn't help but raise his head and scanned the whole place. Everyone was exchanging glances. Everyone was ready to make a move, as if they wanted to speak out to refute at any time, but no one was willing to make the first move and become the next victim.
Suddenly, a ridiculous idea came into Harry's mind:
There is such a player in the league, a player who is enough to silence all reporters, and he is also a Chinese player. Is this another kind of history?
