The entire locker room was immersed in joy, no one was exempted.
They knew that this was just a playoff victory; they knew that the next game would be more difficult; but they also knew that this season was still not over, so they began to celebrate heartily and wantonly. After today, Start preparing for the next game again.
The guys from the offensive team and the guys from the defensive team joined forces to give Lu Ke a hard time, soaking him completely in the champagne. Everything was soaked inside and out, even his shoes. They are like two small boats, one is deep and the other is shallow when walking, so embarrassing.
Then, Patrick Willis was extremely cunning, shouting from the side, "Watch out for our quarterback"; at the same time, he kept cheering and even brought an ice bucket, further expanding the situation. It was completely obvious that The lack of usual low-key and poise directly resulted in a messy scene.
The coaching staff didn't dare to enter the locker room at all. They hurriedly closed the door as soon as they opened it, turned around and ran away in despair. As a result, several players discovered the sneaky behavior of the coaching staff and started a desperate pursuit with a small bucket of ice cubes. , chasing the coaching staff into a panic. The scene was spectacular.
By the time all the players finally finished their celebrations, relaxed and started to enter the post-match adjustment stage one after another, forty minutes had passed.
Lu Ke sat in the ice bath with a thick ice pack tied to the muscles of his right arm. He slowly relaxed. After relaxing his tense spirit, he almost fell asleep accidentally. It seemed that I have completely adapted to the rhythm of the ice bath, but before falling asleep, a bit of ice rushed up my spine, and I woke up again.
After taking a long breath, Lu Ke cheered up and began to review the results of the game.
After hard work, now comes the time to reap the rewards.
This is the first playoff game of Lu Ke's career. The game tasks have once again experienced a big explosion. There are eight task options, which far exceeds the normal situation in the regular season. It is a challenge and an opportunity. Fortunately, Lu Ke seized the opportunity and successfully fulfilled the mission reward. High risks will naturally lead to high rewards.
The first pass, completed, special points plus one; the first touchdown, completed, special points plus one; completed touchdowns, five, special points plus five; improve pass success rate in the first half, pass successful If the rate is at least 60%, it will be completed, and the special point will be added by one; if it is avoided being intercepted in the first half, if the number of interceptions is less than or equal to two, it will be completed, and the special point will be added by one.
In the second half, complete the pass in the designated area, use at least two passes of more than 30 yards, and use at least three sideline passes. If completed, the special point will be added by one; complete the pass in the designated formation in the second half, and advance at least in the shotgun formation. Eighty yards, completed, plus one special point.
In addition, get the first playoff win, complete, and add two gold points.
After counting them all, a total of eleven special points were harvested, as well as two gold points.
In addition to game tasks, there is also a special task, "Elite Quarterback Challenge and Confrontation".
This task appeared early before the start of the official game, and the subsequent game process also proved this. The attention of the entire audience must be tense at all times. Although there was no special task on the spot, the presence of Drew Brees In itself, it means that every part of the game must be vigilant.
"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."
Obviously, this is a battle between the two quarterbacks Lu Ke and Brees.
This season, Brees' passing skills and game state have reached an incredible peak, and all statistics have reached career highs. Even if the New Orleans Saints lost the game, it was mostly due to the poor performance of the defensive team. , Brees is still a quarterback that is difficult to beat.
Two weeks ago, when the regular season came to an end, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees were the most favorable contenders for MVP this season. Of course, Lu Ke was also one of the contenders, but the focus was still more on the two. On an elite quarterback. It goes without saying that it is very difficult to complete such a special task.
But the actual situation is that Lu Ke, who was full of firepower in this game, not only did not have any stage fright, but also had the upper hand.
Among the five data, the only exception is the number of passing touchdowns. Lu Ke completed five, while Brees completed six, and Brees led the way; in the other four data, Lu Ke achieved Advantages:
Pass success rate, 78.4% vs. 69.8%; passing yards, 565 yards vs. 557 yards; number of interceptions, zero vs. one; quarterback rating.
The former is Lu Ke and the latter is Brees.
It can be seen that the overall performance advantage is very obvious.
Although data does not mean everything, just like in a football game, the time of possession does not mean winning, and this is especially true in rugby; but in the head-to-head confrontation between quarterbacks, Lu Ke showed no stage fright or fear at all. I was nervous and handed in a perfect answer sheet. This is undoubtedly the biggest reward of the special task.
Standing on the live broadcast stage of the playoffs, Lu Ke's outstanding performance once again gained a large number of fans.
"Additional instructions for the mission: Since the host overfulfilled the mission and showed excellent strength on the big stage, the mission reward is advanced, the number of comprehensive training package upgrades +1; and then each individual item +15."
unexpected surprise!
According to the requirements of the special task, Lu Ke needs to surpass Brees in two of the five technical categories to be considered qualified; but the reality is that Lu Ke has surpassed Brees in four of the five categories, and his performance is overall leading. Therefore, this It can be considered that the task has been exceeded once again, and the reward has been increased.
With fifteen basic points, a random item can complete the transformation from quantity to quality in one go. With this alone, the completion of this special task is worth the price of admission!
But that's not all.
While counting unread messages, Lu Ke noticed that in addition to game tasks and special tasks, there was also an important hidden task in this playoff divisional match.
“Hidden Mission: Attack of the Chinese-American Quarterbacks.
Mission statement: As the first Chinese-American quarterback in the history of the league, every step in every game is making history, creating a new history for both undrafted rookies and Chinese-American players. However, the league and the audience will not be easily satisfied. They need more and expect more.
Now, with a historic entry into the playoffs, under the spotlight, will he be eliminated in the first round and regretfully end his rookie season's progress; or will he continue to advance with head high and further establish himself in the league? This is a difficult question!
Mission requirement: Set a rookie quarterback's playoff record against the New Orleans Saints.
Mission reward: Choose one of the two, or an upgraded point lottery ticket; or special points +3.
Failure penalty: None: This is a passive trigger task. "
There is no doubt that quarterbacks who lead their teams to the playoffs in their rookie seasons are rare; and quarterbacks who can perform well in the playoffs in their rookie seasons are even rarer, at least in the current league. None of the four elite quarterbacks were able to do it, and Ben Roethlisberger, who previously held many rookie season records, also failed to do it.
It is precisely because of this that the requirements for the hidden mission have been relaxed this time. As long as Lu Ke can break a record, it can be passively triggered. Correspondingly, the mission rewards have also been weakened, and are far less colorful than before, but Hidden quests are still a valid and positive addition.
According to the system, in Lu Ke’s first playoff trip, he completely refreshed many records for rookie quarterbacks:
Five passing touchdowns in a single game; 78.4% passing success rate, 556 passing yards, 152.8 quarterback rating, and even the number of pass attempts and the number of successful passes, all these data are also written A whole new history.
Even if you put aside the labels of "Chinese" and "undrafted", even compared with Drew Brees, Lu Ke's performance is amazing!
Thus, the hidden mission was successfully accomplished.
Not only that, but there is an additional note.
"Additional mission instructions: Since the host overcompleted the mission, the final mission reward is doubled: upgrade points lottery, special points +3."
Like the special tasks, the hidden tasks also gave a reminder of overfulfillment. Lu Ke's excellent performance in this game can be seen in all aspects. Even in the system's judgment, he received corresponding affirmation.
Fourteen special points, two gold points, an upgrade point lottery ticket, a comprehensive training upgrade package, and a random single item increases fifteen basic points.
That’s all there is to gain.
At a rough inspection, compared with the previous regular season, the harvest in the playoffs seems to be much reduced, but this is just an illusion caused by a simple interpretation in a literal sense.
In fact, just two gold points are already worth thousands of gold, far more than what you get in any regular season. What's more, special points have also ushered in a full harvest. As long as you use the point exchange system, you can easily complete the overall improvement of your strength. , the overall income is even more impressive than the income at the end of the regular season.
So, Lu Ke began to enter the inventory stage with satisfaction.
The first thing to open is the upgraded point lottery.
Opening the lottery ticket with ease, Xiao Qi's cold voice sounded in her mind, "Congratulations, you opened the upgraded version of the point lottery. You won five basic points; you won one special point."
Obviously, Lu Ke was unlucky today, and the points lottery income was far from satisfactory. Not to mention that this was an upgraded version of the points lottery, which could only be regarded as a basic gain. A careful review of the game process seems to prove this point. There was a lack of luck in several key attacks, which also made the duel between the two sides inseparable.
However, point lottery is about luck, and as long as you get something, it’s a good thing.
