Amid the welcome of the fans, the San Francisco 49ers players entered Candlestick Stadium and started their pre-game warm-up preparations step by step, as if this was just a normal regular season, but every aspect showed that this was not a regular season. In a simple regular season game, this contradictory feeling slowly boiled in the air.
"Ding", the reminder sound came to mind, and Lu Ke knew that a mission had appeared.
"Competition tasks:
Complete the first pass in the first game of the playoffs; mission requirements: none; mission reward: special point +1.
Complete the first touchdown in the first game of the playoffs; mission requirements: none; mission reward: special point +1.
Completing a touchdown in the first game of the playoffs: Mission requirements: None; Mission reward: +1 special point for each touchdown.
Improve the passing success rate in the first half of the first game of the playoffs; mission requirement: success rate of at least 60%; mission reward: special point +1.
Avoid being intercepted in the first half of the first game of the playoffs; mission requirement: the number of interceptions is less than or equal to two; mission reward: special point +1.
Complete the pass in the designated area in the second half of the first game of the playoffs; mission requirements: use at least two passes of more than 30 yards and at least three sideline passes; mission reward: special point +1.
Complete the designated formation pass in the second half of the first game of the playoffs; mission requirement: advance at least 80 yards in a shotgun formation; mission reward: special point +1.
Obtain the first victory in the first game of the playoffs; mission requirements: none; mission reward: gold points +2. "
After a full season, Lu Ke once again ushered in an explosion of game tasks. Just like the first NCAA game and the first NFL game, the first playoff game was really different.
Not only does it provide a large number of series of tasks, but there are also two "first time" tasks. Considering that some quarterbacks may never score a touchdown in the playoffs in their entire lives, the difficulty of the tasks is understandable. In addition, the game tasks in the first half and the game tasks in the second half are also further detailed. Surprisingly-
The tasks in the first half were more stable and conservative, while the tasks in the second half were more radical and fierce. Does this mean that the outcome of today's game will ultimately be decided by the second half? Or looking at it from another perspective, Drew Brees is an explosive quarterback, and his explosive ability at the end of the game is unparalleled, so Lu Ke must also improve his condition in time?
Referring to the last game when the New Orleans Saints defeated the Detroit Lions, today's game task seems to be logical.
The most important thing is that all mission rewards are special points, not basic points. After harvesting the point exchange system, the value will be clear at a glance. This is equivalent to three basic points. The entire reward level is completely different. The competition may bring incredible gains——
But the premise is that the competition tasks can be completed.
As for the mysterious and precious gold points, gold points worth thirty basic points are now officially available. A playoff victory can earn two points, which is equivalent to sixty basic points. It only takes one playoff game. If he wins the game, Lu Ke's strength will be completely transformed.
But it must be noted that this is the first playoff game in Lu Ke's career, so it is naturally more special. If there is a chance for a second playoff game in the future, the number of tasks will inevitably be reduced, just like regular games. The game tasks are the same. In addition, the specialness of this game does not end there.
“Special Assignments: Challenges and Rivalries of Elite Quarterbacks.
Mission statement: As one of the four elite quarterbacks in the league, Drew Brees has outstanding strength, stable condition, and accurate touch. He has continued his good competitive form from the beginning of the season to the playoffs, and once again showed his Super Bowl performance this year. The strong strength of the favorite; as a quarterback, his ability to control the game is beyond other quarterbacks.
This is the first time in the host's career that he has faced an elite quarterback. The difficulty of the challenge is quite different. Should he swim against the current and defeat a powerful opponent to reach a higher level? Or should he surrender in embarrassment and admit the fact that there is still a gap in strength? This will be a serious problem.
Task requirements: surpass Drew Brees in any two of the five data including pass success rate, passing yards, passing touchdowns, number of interceptions, and quarterback rating.
Mission reward: Comprehensive training package upgrade times +1; random single item +10.
Failure penalty: The offseason training effect is reduced by 5%, and daily training tasks are doubled. "
During the regular season this season, Lu Ke faced off against three outstanding quarterbacks: Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens, and Eli Manning of the New York Giants. The Philadelphia Eagles' Michael Vick is also a quarterback with a unique style, but these quarterbacks are not elite quarterbacks.
As the system says, there is an absolute reason why elite quarterbacks are called "elite". Their dominance and control of the game far exceeds that of other quarterbacks; and their lower limit is higher and their performance It is more stable, has better average strength, and has certain advantages in all aspects.
This is the first time in Lu Ke's career that he has faced an elite quarterback, and it is also his first appearance in the playoffs. The difficulty of the challenge is indeed no small matter.
But judging from the rewards and penalties of special tasks, it can be seen that this is an auxiliary task. If it succeeds, it will give more room for improvement in the offseason; if it fails, then it will have to work harder in the offseason to make up for its shortcomings and quickly improve its strength.
In other words, whether it is success or failure, Lu Ke's training this offseason will never be easy.
It can be understood that, according to system analysis, even though Lu Ke had an unparalleled rookie season, there is still a big gap between him and elite quarterbacks. On the one hand, the level of pure technical strength, game experience, game Levels like reading and game control are another aspect.
After reading all the mission options, the only thought in Lu Ke's mind was, "Xiao Qi, all the penalties for failure are not painful. Does this mean that this is a game that can be lost?"
"...Yes." Xiao Qi's answer was too direct and too simple, like a sharp knife, piercing Lu Ke's heart so hard that Lu Ke couldn't help but choked and was speechless. He rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Thanks for helping relieve the stress."
It was obviously an irony, but Xiao Qi still replied seriously, "You're welcome."
Lu Ke, who has always been sharp-tongued, said he had better prepare for the game.
Although the penalty for failure is not serious, it does not mean that he can relax his vigilance and lose the game. Because for Lu Ke himself, this is a game that must be won, because the Super Bowl is his ultimate goal!
…
"Bambi? Bambi!"
The shouts from the forefront of the team spread among the players in the form of a relay. They soon found Lu Ke, who was jumping in the middle to keep his muscles warm. Then his teammates made way for a passage, far away. You can see team manager Trent Baalke standing at the end, waving.
While jogging along, Trent took the initiative to greet Lu Ke, patted Lu Ke on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You will lead the team into the game today."
Following Trent's line of sight, Lu Ke saw Patrick Willis and David Akins standing on his left, and he understood instantly - the captain of the offensive team, the captain of the defensive team, and the captain of the special teams. , they will join forces to lead the team into the Candlestick Stadium, accept the cheers and shouts of the fans in the audience, and kick off the game!
In last year's Rose Bowl, senior graduates led the Bruins onto the court as representatives, and Lu Ke was one of them.
Today's playoff debut, Lu Ke, as one of the team's three captains, led the 49ers to make a brilliant debut.
In just one year, the world has changed dramatically. Lu Ke couldn't help but feel excited.
Trent left. He left the VIP box just to arrange the order of entry. This was obviously an important consideration for the Asian market. It is estimated that the team owner's instructions could be seen behind the scenes; now things are arranged After that, Trent returned to the VIP box and prepared to watch the game from a high place.
Turning his head, Lu Ke met the eyes of Willis and Akens, and said with a smile, "How are you, are you ready to win this game?"
That confident and calm demeanor made Arkens laugh happily, "Of course! Always ready!"
Willis patted Lu Ke's shoulder heavily, "Get ready! Candlestick Stadium is waiting for their hero to make his debut." After saying that, Willis and Akins stood beside Lu Ke respectively. On both sides, they kept walking in place, as if they were accumulating strength and accelerating.
Then, with a command, Lu Ke sprinted forward calmly and powerfully, and then sprinted again.
In an instant, cheers and screams were released like a waterfall, a roaring sound was heard above the eardrums, and the whole world was completely collapsed. The vast red ocean spread endlessly, and 70,000 people The power of the fans reached an unprecedented peak at this moment!
Every cell in his body began to boil, and then Lu Ke couldn't bear it anymore and began to roar, "Ah!" The cry was like a wolf's howl, like a war cry, violently surging in the heat wave It continuously releases all the energy in the body.
Then came Willis and Akins. They also started roaring like warriors. The roar spread quickly among the team. Even Kip Kleist from the coaching staff couldn't help but follow along. Roaring, and caddy Thomas Robinson, everyone, up and down, inside and out, started roaring:
San Francisco 49ers, making their debut!
