The plane slowly left San Francisco International Airport, and the excitement and noise in the cabin continued for a while before gradually calming down.
Whether it is the San Francisco 49ers or the Houston Texans, the young players traveling this time are still mainly rookies. It is the first time for everyone to go to Hawaii to participate in the Pro Bowl. The excitement is inevitable. While discussing the season that just ended, Looking forward to the upcoming Pro Bowl, we chatted and laughed, and quickly became familiar with each other. It looked like a group of female college students going on a group trip during spring break.
After the flight gradually stabilized, Lu Ke's ears gradually became quiet.
Originally, Lu Ke, Logan and Marcus were seated together, but Watt and Lu Ke had been talking about this year's offseason training plan. Logan and Marcus almost ran away, and finally They simply changed their positions, and now Watt is sitting on Lu Ke's right hand side.
At this time, Watt turned on the entertainment system on the plane and was watching "Tough Guy Training Camp".
This is a reality show co-produced by the NFL and HBO. It first aired in 2001. Each season of the show will follow a professional football player's pre-season training camp to show the team's preparations for the upcoming season. Although the program still guarantees a certain amount of entertainment, for the general public, it is indeed the best way to understand the professional league.
Watt is watching the 2009 Cincinnati Bengals season.
As expected, it was Watt. He didn't even miss the opportunity to rest and relax, and bombed intensively without any gaps. Even Lu Ke was willing to lose.
Withdrawing his gaze and closing his eyes, Lu Ke relaxed slightly. Involuntarily, all kinds of expectations and associations emerged in my mind, about the Pro Bowl, about the offseason, about the skills competition, and... about the conference finals, messy thoughts were boiling, The annoyance and regret inevitably surged again.
Failure is still an unacceptable result for him; in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, he must work harder and fight harder next season. The Super Bowl is still an unwavering goal.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Ke opened the system for the first time since the federation finals and began to confirm the completion of various tasks.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing his rookie season:
Season record: fourteen wins and four losses;
Winning rate: 77.78%;
Season mission completion index: 80%;
Season reputation index: 90;
System rating score: 85.
Summary: As a rookie, he created an unattainable peak season, proved and realized his self-worth, made a huge breakthrough, had a place in the entire league, and was widely known to fans; but as a player, he is still far from a perfect season. There is still a gap, the Super Bowl berth just missed at the last moment, and there is still room for improvement. "
After Lu Ke carefully browsed a series of instructions, the system popped up a dialog box, "Do you want to end the system measurement for the rookie season and upgrade the system?"
"Xiaoqi, the system still needs to be upgraded?" Lu Ke's mind was full of questions. This time he couldn't find any extra tips, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Yes. After clicking to confirm, the 2011 season will officially end and then enter the operation mode of the new season." Xiaoqi answered dedicatedly, "The mission system will be fully upgraded."
The amount of information was a bit huge. Lu Ke did not rush, but carefully clarified his thoughts and asked questions one after another. Based on Xiaoqi's answers, the full picture of the system upgrade was gradually revealed.
Once the upgrade is completed, this will also mean the official end of the 2011 season.
Starting from the offseason, all mission systems including daily missions, competition missions, special missions, etc. will be updated. At the same time, related missions for the federation finals will also be cleared directly, and a new mission cycle will begin. To put it simply, it means bidding farewell to the 2011 season and starting the 2012 season.
Among them, the Pro Bowl is a special case.
Although the Pro Bowl is still part of the 2011 schedule, for the teams and players who have not been able to enter the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl itself is a relaxing and entertainment before the official start of the offseason, and the system will all enter the offseason. period calculation. Even if an assignment comes up, it will be an offseason-related assignment.
To put it simply, from the rookie season to the sophomore season, the system will also be updated accordingly. On the one hand, it will adjust related tasks according to the improvement of the host's strength; on the other hand, it will be adjusted based on real players, including rookie players. As well as free transfers and rearrangement of related tasks.
Of course, it can be inferred that the system will complete corresponding adjustments every offseason.
After making sure that he understood the whole picture, Lu Ke did not rush to complete the system upgrade. After selecting "No", he first confirmed the completion of the task of liquidating the federation's finals. Although Lu Ke knew that the game was a failure and most of the tasks were inevitably not completed, he still had to review the game from a more objective perspective.
Complete touchdowns, three, special points plus three; increase the short pass usage rate in the first half, short pass ratio is more than 30%, complete, special points plus one; increase pass success rate in the first half , the success rate is over 60%, completed, the special points will be added by one.
In the second half, complete the designated formation pass, at least three fake runs or fake fake runs, not completed; in the second half, improve the success rate of long passes, the success rate is at least 50%, not completed.
Victory in the playoffs, unfinished.
Looking at the completion of tasks throughout the game, it can be clearly found that without two important catching points, Ted Ginn and Michael Crabtree, Lu Ke's passing offensive efficiency has declined across the board, especially in long passes. , even though he completed the Hail Mary, he still failed to show the threat of the long pass, which truly explained the meaning of a clever woman can't make a fool of herself.
However, from another perspective, Lu Ke's last-minute Hail Mary attempt and Lu Ke's desperate pass still succeeded. In addition to the undeniable element of luck, it still shows that Lu Ke has more possibilities in tactical application. Maybe he should be bolder -
If in the second half of the game, Kyle Williams and Brett Swayne were smarter and responded to emergencies in a smarter way, would the result of the game be different?
The lack of experience still brings inevitable blind spots at critical moments.
In the end, the game mission earned five special points.
Purely in terms of the number of points, it has created a new low in the season, even more sluggish than the two consecutive losses; but because it is the playoffs, the meaning of the existence of special points is still different, which also means that the gains are still worthy of recognition. .
In addition to game tasks, there are also special tasks.
"Special Assignment: National League Championship Glory."
According to the task requirements, "avoid interceptions, equal to or less than one; pass touchdowns more than Eli Manning", but unfortunately, Lu Ke was not able to complete it.
In fact, just counting the regular time of the game, Lu Ke had zero interceptions, while Lu Ke and Manning both had three passing touchdowns. The two sides were tied, and they were only one touchdown away from completing the task. . However, without the if, Lu Ke still missed the completion of the special task, and he would inevitably be punished for failure.
"Punishment for failure: The offseason training effect is reduced by 10%; the offseason resentment paparazzi skill index is reduced by 30%; the difficulty of daily training tasks is increased by +1."
This is obviously not good news. For Lu Ke, the offseason training tasks will be more difficult, even unimaginably difficult - the difficulty increases and the effect decreases; moreover, this offseason still needs to face the constraints of bottlenecks, just You can imagine the difficulty just from the literal meaning.
But to put it another way, it’s a matter of accumulation. Perhaps, if we regard this difficulty as the only way to accumulate a solid foundation and make more preparations for future breakthroughs, then everything will become positive.
Still, the offseason is incredibly difficult. Looking back now, inviting Watt as a training partner may be an unexpected surprise.
When counting the tasks, Lu Ke discovered that another special task appeared at the last moment of the game.
It was not a hidden mission, but a special mission. But at that time, the atmosphere of the game was too tense. He was so focused and focused that Lu Ke completely ignored the special mission prompts, so much so that he did not even realize the appearance of the special mission.
“Special Mission: Hail Mary.
Mission statement: Challenge Hail Mary. For any quarterback, this may be the most difficult moment in his career. Even if he tries his best, he may not be able to complete it; but at this moment, the suspense of victory or defeat is maintained here. In a long pass, which may become the last pass of the 2011 season, success or failure is maintained on the host's arm and fingertips. Give it a try and write a miracle!
Mission reward: Choose one of two rewards: or advanced hang-up video viewing function; or gold point +1.
Failure penalty: None (losing the game is the most severe penalty). "
As the mission statement states, a Hail Mary is an extremely difficult challenge for any quarterback, and when the game is decided on a Hail Mary attempt, that in itself is a sign that they need some Only luck can win. This is the best description of the sense of crisis.
Fortunately, Lu Ke completed the Hail Mary. Even looking back now, it is still an incredible moment, not to mention it was a 65-yard Hail Mary. Maybe if he had to do it again, Lu Ke might not be able to complete it; unfortunately, , even after completing the Hail Mary, they still failed to get God's blessing and win this game.
It is precisely because of this that it makes this defeat even more bitter.
Taking a breath and expelling all distracting thoughts, Lu Ke began to think seriously about which task reward he should choose: advanced plug-in? Or gold points?
