Snap, snap, snap.
The sound of the footsteps colliding with the ground is making a dull sound in a steady rhythm. It is steady and powerful, even in speed, and well-trained. Even if it is just based on the trivial sound of the footsteps, you can outline a long-term maintenance in your mind. The figure of standardized training.
Suddenly, a burst of chaotic footsteps poured in from all around, disrupting all the rhythms. They were fast and slow, light and heavy, and chaotic, as if a pool of ocean balls were suddenly dumped. The roaring noise suddenly made the streets crowded and lively.
Children from every household in the neighborhood were surrounding Lu Ke. They all raised their heads in laughter and looked at Lu Ke's tall figure. To these young children, Lu Ke looked like a beacon. Generally, he is tall and strong, and he has to tilt his head back so hard that his neck is sore, in order to vaguely capture the face above the clouds.
Although he was deeply surrounded and Lu Ke's pace was forced to slow down, he still kept running until familiar street scenes and houses appeared in his sight, and he returned to the neighborhood where his parents' home was. It gradually stopped, and then you could see the lively scene of the entire street——
All the neighbors have hoisted the San Francisco 49ers team flags. The bright red flags are fluttering in the wind. The enthusiastic conversations and people coming and going interweave into a wide and noisy net, tightly covering the entire street. The blue sky is high and far away. It is not as heavy as winter, but has a touch of autumn's refreshing feeling.
The snow that fell a month ago has long since melted, and San Francisco is still the same San Francisco. For the next snow, we may have to wait another long thirty-five years.
"Bambi, how about you, do you want to join us? We are preparing for a barbecue party! I have prepared a solid steak!"
"Hey! Hey! Bambi, which team should we support? How about supporting the Lions? We play once in the regular season, and we can win again in the playoffs."
"How are you preparing for the competition?"
"This is a bye week, so I should take a good rest and gain strength for the next week!"
"We are! 49ers! We are! Warriors!"
Many of the familiar faces are old neighbors who have lived here for ten or twenty years. They can be regarded as watching Lu Ke grow up. However, most of them are just acquaintances, and the usual communication is not frequently. Now, because of rugby, in the past half year, the entire neighborhood has united together, and you can clearly feel the joy and joy that comes from deep within.
Lu Ke stopped and was about to say hello to the neighbors. As a result, all the children surrounding him dispersed in a hurry. One second he was in bloom, but the next second he was alone again. It happened so fast that Lu Ke couldn't help but be stunned——
Hey, what happened just now?
Looking at Lu Ke, who was full of questions, the children burst into laughter. Some of them boldly shouted, "Bambi, can you pass the ball?"
Before Lu Ke could answer, someone next to him threw a rugby ball over. Reflexively, Lu Ke stretched out his hands and almost caught the rugby ball. His sweaty fingertips were a little slippery and he almost missed it. As expected, the 38-point receiving ability was still unreliable, and Lu Ke couldn't help but secretly sweat.
"So, who wants to catch the ball?" Lu Ke shouted.
The children immediately began to bustle and chatter, shouting, "Me! Me!"
Several of the older children were even more clever. They rushed out first, waving as they ran, and kept making gestures asking for the ball. Then Lu Ke aimed at the older children running in the front, and picked the ball further away. Some quickly raised their right hands and passed a high and floating rainbow ball. All the children immediately started shouting, and the whole neighborhood became even more lively.
At this time, a shouting voice came from the right, "You little guys, don't you know that Bambi's passing has been contracted by me?"
Turning his head, Logan Newman, wearing a classic replica black jersey of the San Francisco 49ers, appeared in his sight. His tall and handsome posture only lasted less than two seconds, and then he opened his arms like an eagle. He rushed towards the children as if he were trying to catch a chicken, looking like the king of children.
At this moment, Lu Ke's pass had fallen quickly. From a distance, a child could be seen jumping up dexterously and lightly. His high flying and staying in the air showed a rare talent, and he was steadily among a group of children. Holding the football in his arms, all the children nearby began to cheer and shout with joy.
But the older child didn't look proud at all. Instead, he held the rugby ball, pushed his friend away, and ran towards Lu Ke's position stubbornly and excitedly. Finally, he lifted the rugby high and placed it on Lu Ke's back. In front of Ke, he raised his voice and said, "Bambi, when I grow up, I also want to catch your passes."
Lu Ke was stunned for a moment and laughed dumbly.
Although the pass just now was not at full strength, it was only a long pass of about thirty-five yards, and the arc and landing point control were relatively accurate, and the force and rotation control were reduced, but this big kid was able to complete it smoothly. He still shows rare talent when it comes to catching the ball, and he does have the potential to be a wide receiver.
My eyes fell on the big boy, and I saw him puffing out his chest, seeming to express his determination unswervingly, but his panicked and trembling pupils revealed his nervousness and anxiety, his expectation and excitement. It was so familiar and so real, bursting out with the enthusiasm that every boy would show when he sees his idol in person.
Lu Ke could feel a faint warmth flowing through his heart, and nodded with a smile, "Of course there is no problem. Then I have to work hard, maintain my condition, persist in the league for a long time, and then wait. That day is coming.”
In an instant, the big boy's facial expression bloomed, like a blooming sunflower, and his sunny and bright eyes were full of vitality. Then he nodded heavily, without saying anything, turned around and faced Corner rushed out, yelling, "I caught Bambi's pass, I caught Bambi's pass."
All the neighbors on the block started cheering.
Logan trotted all the way to Lu Ke's side and shouted to the boy's disappearing back, "Hey, we agreed, I will be responsible for catching the ball for the next ten years, and after that it will be yours!" All the other children nearby burst into laughter, but Logan didn't care. He made a face, then turned to look at Lu Ke, "God, this is only the first season, and now there are admirers. It's incredible. "
"Envy?" Lu Ke didn't care and threw the question away.
Logan touched his head and said with a smile, "I'm not envious. Your admirers are my admirers, right?"
Lu Ke shook his head speechlessly, turned around and took steps toward the door of his home. Logan quickly followed suit, "I'm serious, and my admirers must also be your admirers. I I dare you to guarantee it!" The rambling words showed their true nature again, and then the two people opened the door and entered Lu Ke's house.
At this time, the whole room was filled with a strong party atmosphere. Red balloons, red ribbons and red jerseys are dotted everywhere. Even the cakes on the table are red velvet. It feels like I have returned to Chinatown during the Spring Festival. Red is the most festive and auspicious color.
The sight was filled with guests, all holding champagne glasses and chatting happily. Then Julia Newman was the first to notice the return of Lu Ke and Logan, and immediately came over to greet them, saying cheerfully, "Gentlemen and ladies, the two protagonists of today's gambling game have arrived!" After saying that, Julia was the first to blow the paper trumpet, and the sound of blah blah blah instantly focused all eyes.
Julia turned around with a smile on her face, winked playfully at Lu Ke and Logan, and said in the host's square accent, "Okay, two protagonists, which one do you choose to support?" team?"
Then, Julia jumped a step forward to the right, jumped twice on the spot, and motioned to the bottom of her feet. Then she could see a circular Detroit Lions team logo card placed on the ground; then she moved horizontally towards A step to the left leads to another circular team logo card, the New Orleans Saints.
Today is January 7th, the day when the 2011 playoffs begin. The first game comes from the National League wild card round. The third-seeded New Orleans Saints face the sixth-seeded Detroit Lions.
As usual, the Lu family and the Newman family gathered together again to watch the game. This time, not only the two families, but also the parents of both families invited their colleagues to attend this grand party. More than thirty people gathered. , Lu Ke's house suddenly became extremely crowded and lively.
Although the specific causes and consequences are unclear, it is obvious that Julia is hosting a "gamble" activity, and the protagonists are Lu Ke and Logan.
After understanding, Lu Ke looked at Julia helplessly, and then expressed his embarrassment - he had just finished his daily long-distance running training, and was sweating profusely. The sweat had completely wet his vest, and his hair was messy. Stick it on your cheek and then be forced to attend the event?
Looking at the handsome Logan next to him, and then at the embarrassed Lu Ke, the contrast was too obvious. Lu Ke spread his hands and made a silent protest to Julia, "You did it on purpose, right? Although Logan is your brother, but you can't treat me like this, have you forgotten? At the homecoming dance, I am the knight who saves the beautiful girl."
Julia caught Lu Ke's eyes and understood instantly, but she pursed her lips and smiled. Her bright eyes clearly showed: Yes, I did it on purpose, so what are you going to do now?
