Shocked.
Lu Ke stood on the edge of the court with a confused look on his face. Everything happened too quickly and too fiercely. Before he had time to prepare, the game ended suddenly. In a daze, the routine came to mind again. In the fourth week of the game, in an away game against the Philadelphia Eagles, they were caught off guard and lost the game.
But this time, it announced the end of the entire season.
Sudden death, such sudden death, the entire season's efforts were in vain.
On the court, the New York Giants players went crazy and rushed into the court desperately. Everyone pounced on Bradshaw. Even Manning took off his helmet with a look of fear on his face. With an expression of confidence, he screamed and sprinted wildly, releasing all the joy and happiness heartily. Even the coaching staff and staff had fallen into a frenzy.
Not willing to give in.
He was unwilling to give up. He struggled for so long, persisted for so long, and resisted for so long, but ended the 2011 season in such a nihilistic way. He made desperate comebacks again and again, and never gave up again and again. Desperate situations broke out again and again, and he worked hard to enter overtime. He was ready to fight, but he didn't even have a chance to play, and it ended like this.
How could he be willing to do so? It was like being in a battle, fully armed, but before they even had time to take the field, an atomic bomb ended everything, and then the war was over, declaring their defeat. The previous struggles and resistance seemed to be just It's all in vain, it just delays the end of your own failure.
He was unwilling to give in.
If he is given another chance to play, if he is given another chance to attack, if...but, there is no if, it is over, this is the end. The magical journey of the entire season comes to an end here. The curtain was announced unreasonably, without even leaving a chance for a curtain call.
He clenched his hands into fists, using so much force that his whole body began to tremble slightly. The soreness in his nose was unbearable at all. Tears suddenly began to burst. There was no time to prepare or control, and the hot mist blurred his vision. He is not willing to give in! He is not willing to give in! He is not willing to give in! He is really unwilling!
The Super Bowl was the goal he had been striving for all season. It was so close that he could reach out and touch the Super Bowl seat. However, at the last moment, all hope was cut off and he could only watch the New York Giants watch. They reached the Super Bowl, but they stayed where they were, standing on the National League stage, looking at the National League championship and Super Bowl berth within their reach, helpless.
Clench your fists, close your eyes, and grit your teeth, but... "I'm so unwilling."
The surging emotions were so overwhelming that the whole person could not bear it. The extremely bitter taste gradually became biting and could not be eliminated no matter what.
He raised his right hand and wiped away the tears from his eyes and cheeks with his palm. In his hazy vision, he saw Justin Smith kneeling on the lawn. He was usually a tough and indifferent man with a sinewy face. At this time, he looked at the stadium blankly, as if his whole soul had been drained, and then he cried sadly.
Who would have thought that the mere absence of first-level defense would become a regret for the entire season.
Lu Ke just felt sad for a while.
At this moment, even he couldn't fully understand what Justin was feeling.
Justin has been in the league for eleven years. It has been a full eleven years of ups and downs, ups and downs, and stumblings along the way. This is his first time entering the National League finals; he is thirty-three years old this year. Is there any chance he can have another chance? Not to mention a season, even if there is one, it is extremely difficult to continue to maintain the form this year.
In other words, maybe this year is his last chance to enter the Super Bowl. If he misses it, he will never have it again. But he was absent from his final defense.
Justin was crying so hard, like a lost child.
Not only Justin, Lu Ke also thought of Ted Ginn, Michael Crabtree and Anthony Davis who were injured.
He promised Gene, he promised Gene that he would fight to the last moment and strive for victory; he promised Gene that he would not let his injury turn into a regret, and he would carry Gene's weight and attack towards the Super Bowl. . However, he failed to keep his promise.
He couldn't imagine how painful Gene was; how sad Justin was; and Crabtree and Anthony standing on the sidelines... How much hardship and pain they had gone through, and they got here step by step, and now But they all declared that their success fell short. One defeat pushed them into the abyss of invincibility.
After all, Lu Ke couldn't fully understand it.
For Lu Ke, he is still young, this is just his rookie season, he still has a chance, he still has a future, he still has possibilities. Competitive sports are so cruel and cold; this made Lu Ke wake up and realize that he is the leader. He is one of the leaders of the entire team. He must cheer up and lead the team out of failure again. The shadow makes them believe that the hope of competitive sports has never disappeared.
He wasn't willing to give in, and he still wasn't willing to give in.
However, he will not be defeated, let alone knocked down! After healing the wound, stand up again; if you miss this year, there will be next year! Don't forget, this is the first year for the entire team to get together. If you give them enough time, they will make another push for the Super Bowl, and next time, they will never let go easily.
Slowly, Lu Ke straightened his waist, exhaled heavily, poured out all the bitterness and annoyance, wiped all the embarrassment on his cheeks with the back of his hand, walked to Justin, squatted down, and gave this A defensive veteran gave a big hug, "We are not losers. Justin, remember, we are not losers!"
Justin looked at Lu Ke blankly and asked in a choked voice, "But we lost, we lost the chance to compete in the Super Bowl."
"Then take it back again." Lu Ke's nose was slightly sore, but he did not collapse. Instead, he clenched his fist firmly, "Believe me, we will come back. Do you understand? The next time we come back, we will Keep today’s lessons firmly in mind! Everything will become an important weight for us to win the championship!”
Justin nodded ignorantly, but his emotions still couldn't recover immediately. He just knelt on the ground quietly.
Lu Ke stood up, walked towards Crabtree and Anthony next to him, and hugged them respectively. However, Crabtree was particularly excited and pushed Lu Ke away forcefully, rejecting Lu Ke's comfort. , walked to the back alone, venting his emotions with an annoyed face.
Lu Ke didn't force it. He turned around and came to his offensive team members one by one. He hugged everyone, including Swain and Williams, and comforted them who blamed themselves so much.
Williams had completely collapsed at this time. He knelt on his knees, his face full of annoyance and anger. Even the tears could not fall down. His face was just confused and lonely. He was always assuming that if Gene was injured and ended up That time he caught the ball, he didn't drop the ball and instead completed a touchdown. So was the result of the game different?
That dropped the ball, it shouldn't have happened.
Lu Ke knew that at this moment, any words were useless. He could only hug Williams tightly and pat his back. Competitive sports are so cruel, and a millisecond can determine the difference between heaven and hell.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Williams just kept chanting, over and over again, and he was stunned and stunned. His sadness could not be accurately described in words.
Lu Ke slapped Williams' back hard, and his nose felt sore. The unwillingness and depression rolled over again, but he could only grit his teeth and said, "Kyle, let go, let go. If you miss it, you will miss it. We wait. Next time, next time.”
"I'm sorry." Williams ignored it and just kept repeating.
Lu Ke patted Williams' helmet hard, stood up with a bitter mouth, and finally walked towards Logan and Marcus.
Logan stood there in despair, motionless, and seemed to have never recovered. It was not until Lu Ke hugged him that his emotions were completely released, and he asked wailing, "Ted What? God, what about Ted? What if, what if Ted..."
If Ted is seriously injured today and never recovers, will they miss the chance to compete in the Super Bowl forever?
"I caught it. I obviously caught it, but why? Why? What should Ted do? Bambi, where is Ted? How should we tell Ted that we failed his hopes and that we failed to make it? Super Bowl, we...we...Bambi. What to do? I obviously caught that pass, I caught it."
Intermittently, Logan just sobbed and cried, feeling helpless and wantonly venting. The questions hit Lu Ke's heart hard, but Lu Ke, who was always sharp-tongued, was speechless at this time. , no sound could be made.
In his sight, Lu Ke saw Alex Smith standing on the edge of the court with a look of desolation.
This was Alex’s farewell game at Candlestick Stadium. Although Lu Ke and Alex are competitors, it is undeniable that Alex's experience and understanding have provided significant help to Lu Ke in understanding the tactical manual. Now, they have sent Alex away with a defeat.
That back view made Lu Ke feel sad again.
"Logan, Logan! Listen!" Lu Ke shouted, "Cheer up! Get back up! This defeat can become an abyss, but it can also become a motivation. Remember the feeling of this moment firmly, remember that That anger, that regret, that unwillingness! Then start fighting! Starting from the offseason! Next season, that is our season! Understand? We will be back! Listen, we will be back, and, We’re going to make it to the Super Bowl!”
"Remember! Logan, remember!" Lu Ke patted Logan's cheek hard and roared loudly.
Logan nodded confusedly, but his eyes were still a little dazed, and he couldn't calm down for a while.
Lu Ke turned to look at Marcus who was standing next to him, "Man! Cheer up! We are not losers! This is the starting point for us to win. Remember this moment firmly! Do you understand? Ah!"
Marcus was so sad and choked that he couldn't make a sound. He could only nod heavily to express his understanding. His slightly red eyes were shining with water, but he did not shed tears after all. Then he followed Lu Ke and roared, "Ah!"
"Ah!" Lu Ke looked at Logan and roared.
"Ah!" Marcus also looked at Logan and roared.
"Ah!" Logan looked at Lu Ke and roared again.
With each shout from you and me, all the negative emotions in the chest were vented, and the spirit was revived bit by bit. With excitement and excitement, the Tridents of UCLA reunited again, savoring the joy of failure together. Bitter, looking forward to the dawn of victory together.
As Lu Ke said, a defeat can be the beginning of collapse, but it can also be the starting point of glory. This is their moment, an important moment that leaves a deep mark. He will not flinch, fear, be timid, hesitate, or be upset, because this moment is about to become a brand new beginning!
