"Fox TV guest commentator Kirk Charleston believes that you are a deterrent quarterback. What do you think of this?"
"When you stand off the court and watch your opponent quickly catch up with the score, but the team is unable to open up the situation, how is your mentality?"
"Jim Harbaugh chose to trust Alex Smith in the second half. Does this mean that when choosing a quarterback in the playoffs, he still prefers the experienced Alex?"
Traps, traps, all traps.
It wasn't just Harry, other reporters also started digging holes, especially the last question. If Lu Ke refuted, it would be a disparagement of Alex; if Lu Ke agreed, it would be a lack of confidence in himself. The specific answer must be carefully considered.
In fact, the first thought in Lu Ke's mind was: What experience does Alex have? The experience of missing the playoffs for many years in a row?
But this kind of complaint is really too sharp. Once it is said, it will hit the target, and it is estimated that the follow-up will be extremely difficult.
Looking around briefly, Lu Ke didn't see Jay Fox or Emily Purvo, which also meant that he had to rely on himself to deal with it today. "Personally, I think our second half The game was very exciting. The team rotated most of the players, and the whole team still needs to adapt and run in, and the rhythm also needs to be adjusted to slowly get into the state."
"Alex is an experienced quarterback, he just needs some time." Lu Ke replied with a smile, paused for a moment, and then added, "Also, thank you for the compliment just now. Hearing recognition from a reporter has always been at the top of my wish list, and today it finally came true.”
The sincere expression on his face seemed completely serious, but the eyes flashing with a slight smile hinted at ironic humor.
Then Harry asked carefully, "You just said that Alex just needs some time. So, do you think he can win more time in the playoffs?"
"I'm praying hard that this won't happen." Without any pause, Lu Ke joked with brisk anticipation. At the same time, he raised his right hand, crossed his index and middle fingers, and made a praying gesture. My own thoughts, "Because this means that my performance is terrible, which is not a positive sign."
"You mean, in the playoffs, do you think you are still the first choice as the starting quarterback?" Another reporter next to him asked.
"Of course." Lu Ke quickly gave the answer without any hesitation or hesitation. He was decisive and straightforward. At the same time, there was no unnecessary additional explanation, but he simply expressed his confidence.
Such a back-and-forth pattern of quick questions and answers made it difficult for the reporters to keep up with the pace of questions. All the potential branches and vines were cut cleanly. When another reporter changed the topic, this This means that the bloody turmoil provoked by Harry has been resolved invisibly.
However, another problem seems not to be easy.
"What do you think about Tim Tebow?"
"What?"
Lu Ke didn't quite believe his ears. If it was Wednesday's official news day, everything would be normal, but now it's the San Francisco 49ers' post-game interview, and they actually heard another team's quarterback here. ’s name, and it’s not the name of the opponent’s quarterback, which is really abnormal.
Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos second-year quarterback. There was already a lot of fuss about the quarterback's deeds last year.
There are countless news about Tebow, such as poor pass success rate, monotonous passing tactics, devout Christians, NCAA's "Tim Tebow Rule", etc., etc., you must kneel after every touchdown He thanked God for his actions - instead of his teammates who fought alongside him, he became the object of ridicule by countless people.
Last year, almost everyone thought that Tebow was only a second- or third-round pick, but the Denver Broncos surprisingly completed an upward trade with three draft picks and selected Tebow with the 25th overall pick in the first round. Bo, after the draft, sales of Tebow's No. 15 jersey instantly climbed to the top of the league.
But it is precisely this kind of quarterback who can only play in the wildcat formation in college, but he has set off a storm in the American League this season!
In the fifth week of the regular season this season, the Denver Broncos played against the San Diego Chargers. The Broncos' starting quarterback Kyle Orton performed poorly. In the second half of the game, Tebow came on as a substitute and scored in the fourth quarter. A passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown almost completed the reversal and lost with a slight disadvantage.
After that, Tebow became the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos.
Against the Miami Dolphins in Week 6, Tebow felt cold for most of the game, but suddenly broke out in the last five minutes, passing two touchdowns, tying the score and sending it into overtime, and ultimately won; After losing to the Detroit Lions in Week 7, they went on a six-game winning streak and were extremely good.
At the end of the season, the Denver Broncos suffered three consecutive losses due to Tebow's terrible performance. This week also ended in failure.
But this year the American League West is in complete chaos. The Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders all have eight wins and eight losses, and the divisional civil wars all have three wins and three losses. In the end, we compared their results against each other and After the record against the same opponents, it was determined that the Denver Broncos won the American League West division championship and narrowly missed the playoffs.
Among them, Tebow passed for 1,730 yards and 12 touchdowns throughout the season, and also rushed for 660 yards and six touchdowns; but his passing success rate was only 46.5%, which was third in the league. The lowest of any starting quarterback among the twelve teams.
The season ended with a three-game losing streak but still made it to the playoffs. The pass success rate was so bad that it was jaw-dropping. The quarterback who was so monotonous and only knew how to play wildcat formation won... This is really a fantasy!
Thanks to Tebow's devout faith, many netizens jokingly called him the "Chosen One" on Twitter and Facebook. Only with God's blessing can he create such a miracle.
Faced with such playful ridicule and ridicule, Thibault did not take it seriously.
In an interview, Tebow also unswervingly expressed his agreement, believing that everything is a blessing from God.
So, what about the rest of the Broncos teammates?
Although the Broncos players all knew that Tebow didn’t mean this, and with Tebow’s “loving the world” style, he definitely didn’t mean to ignore or belittle his teammates; but all credit goes to God, which still makes people listen. Not very comfortable.
There was a wave of complaints on the Internet, and all kinds of jokes about Tebow were everywhere. There were even emoticons using Tebow as the raw material. Even the fans of the Denver Broncos themselves joined in; fact On the Internet, not only netizens, but also professional commentators, analysts, and other coaches and players in the league all liked it and made countless complaints.
In other words, Tebow is a topic of focus, even a powder keg of topic.
But, what is the relationship between Tebow and Lu Ke?
"People say that the American League has Tim Tebow and Andy Dalton, and the National League has Matthew Stafford and Lu Ke. These four young quarterbacks have all made great achievements this season. With such a good record and successful entry into the playoffs, many people are discussing Tebow and you together. May I ask, do you have any special thoughts about Tebow?"
Now Lu Ke finally realized that this was not a compliment, but a derogation.
Because Tebow and Lu Ke are both "chosen sons."
Tebow couldn't even pass the most basic passing skills, but he inexplicably made it to the playoffs; moreover, the Wildcats, which can only work in the college arena, strangely won six consecutive games, even if The Denver Broncos themselves don't quite know how they made it to the playoffs.
Lu Ke is the undrafted quarterback of Chinese descent. With no one optimistic about it, leading the San Francisco 49ers back to the playoffs after eight years is a miracle and a fairy tale.
After realizing the deep meaning behind the question, Lu Ke was not angry. He would not lose control because of such a question. Nothing could affect his good mood, including the reporter, "Sorry, I don't know him."
The straightforward answer seemed so direct and sharp that the reporters were stunned.
Although the reporters were looking forward to creating a flash point, the best result would be for Lu Ke and Thibault to start fighting face to face, that would be the most exciting; but now Lu Ke's straightforward answer is really too explosive, everyone's first reaction They were all "what the hell", as if they were worried about Lu Ke's trap.
Sure enough, Lu Ke then added, "I mean, I've heard of his name and read his reports, but personally, we haven't met, so I think we can't be considered know."
quibble.
"Even if you don't know him, you can still express your opinion. What do you think about Tebow?" The reporter was still aggressive.
"No objection. He is Tim Tebow." Lu Ke replied simply.
Then Lu Ke tilted his head slightly and asked with interest, "I'm more curious about why you keep asking this question and what answer you want to hear. How about this, you show your cards, and then I Let’s see if I can read it aloud according to the script and save some of our time, what do you think?”
Silence, silence.
Faced with Lu Ke's unconventional behavior, the sarcasm in his words was so obvious that the reporters could only rub their noses and then fell silent.
It wasn't until another reporter brought up Lu Ke's "cold" issue that the silence was broken again, and the atmosphere became lively again. The sharp topic seems to have finally passed, and everyone is beginning to look forward to the playoffs. After all, is there anything more worth looking forward to than the playoffs now?
Apparently not.
