Just now at the airport gate, the fans were enthusiastic, the reporters were pursuing, the girls were surrounding...almost the first moment Lu Ke showed up, he became the focus of the audience and everyone's darling. The other players all suffered a cold reception, even though everyone We know that Lu Ke achieved unparalleled success in his rookie season, but such a sharp gap still makes people full of confusion.
What's more, Hawaii is a state without a professional NFL team. Then, Lu Ke's popularity becomes even more strange.
"That's right!" Marcus nodded repeatedly, not wanting to be outdone. But unlike Watt, his thoughts and purposes were obviously not simple. "More than half of the Hawaiian girls swarmed around Bambi, and everyone turned to him. Give me flowers! What's going on! I'm a handsome guy too! I'm much more handsome than Bambi, I'm the most attractive man, okay?"
After the words with impure motives were uttered, the surrounding people cheered and laughed, but Marcus pushed back without showing any weakness, "That's how it is. Don't you think I have a very charming personality? Wait, you all It’s a man who doesn’t understand my charm, but I’m the most popular among women, okay?”
In the harmonious atmosphere, Kai Tiwei couldn't help but laugh happily, "Actually, Bambi is indeed more charming."
Marcus suddenly opened his mouth wide, looking astonished as if his jaw was dislocated. His face was full of disbelief, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Are you sure?"
Lu Ke, who was watching quietly, witnessed Marcus's reaction and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, "Hey, what's that expression on your face?"
Marcus spread his hands and expressed his protest innocently, "Why, you're not allowing me to tell the truth?"
Opinions from all around came swarming in like a tide, and complaints and discussions were endless.
Watt was completely confused and didn't understand the key to why everyone was so proactive. He just asked a curious question; Cam, on the other hand, had a face as cold as a pot, and gradually began to feel uncomfortable in his fancy dress. As if covered with spikes, the whole person was swaying from side to side as if on pins and needles.
Amid the excitement, Kai Tiwe then asked an interesting question, "Do you know which state has the highest proportion of Asians in the United States?"
As we all know, the New York metropolitan area, the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and the San Francisco metropolitan area are the top three areas with the most densely populated Asian populations in the United States. After all, big cities have gathered more foreign populations and the racial ratios are more diverse; but when zoomed in Across the state, the composition of the population is completely different.
For example, Mississippi has the highest proportion of black people among all states, exceeding 40 percent; another example is that the proportion of Latinos in California has exceeded the proportion of white people; and for example, Maine has the highest proportion of white people. Nearly 98 percent of the state's population is white.
So, what about the states with the highest percentages of Asians?
"Hawaii." Kai-Tiwei glanced around with a smile. "We have 40% Asian population, while the proportion of white people is only 25%, and the proportion of indigenous residents is 40%. Eight percent.”
There are a total of fifty states in the United States. Hawaii is not only the only land where the Asian population exceeds 20%, but also the only two states where the white ethnic group is not the largest - the other is California. In other words, Hawaii is a paradise for Asian people.
This only refers to pure Asians, excluding mixed descendants.
By the way, the proportion of mixed-race descendants in Hawaii is 20 percent.
This is definitely a piece of unpopular knowledge. Unless you have done special research, it is difficult to know such information. So, when Kai Tiwei said it, the first reaction in everyone's mind was: Is this a joke?
But obviously, Kai Tiwei didn't mean to joke, and his eyes fell on Lu Ke again, "Here, Bambi is the handsome guy!"
"Tsk. Can a handsome man be used as food?" Marcus immediately scratched his neck and complained dissatisfiedly.
Kai Tiwei nodded extremely seriously, "Yes, you can." Then he pointed in the direction of the airport pick-up hall, "Didn't you see it just now?" It seemed that he was reminding Marcus not to forget the objective facts.
This rebuttal immediately made Marcus choke. The garland overflowing from Lu Ke's neck was the best direct proof. This made Marcus glance at Lu Ke with great resentment, and his face dropped sadly. The head sat down without saying a word.
The appearance of that little daughter-in-law made everyone else beside her laugh out loud.
What Kai-Tiwe failed to mention is that whites account for only a quarter of the population in Hawaii. Therefore, for most Americans, going to Hawaii is like "going abroad". There is always an invisible barrier between the mainland of North America and the Hawaiian islands.
Mike Lupati of the San Francisco 49ers is an indigenous Hawaiian, but there are also many invisible obstacles to development in the league. It won't mean he will be rejected, but jokes and teasing are definitely inevitable. Therefore, Lu Kezhi has an innate affinity for Hawaii.
What's more, during the regular season, Lu Ke used "Hawaii" and "Aloha" as passwords in his kick-off slogans many times. Each call added a touch of intimacy to the residents of Hawaii.
Since Hawaii does not have its own professional NFL team, after a series of regular seasons this season, local residents have become fans of the San Francisco 49ers, and the only reason is Lu Ke. They are looking forward to more than anyone else that Lu Ke can make a name for himself in the NFL.
After all kinds of reasons combined, Lu Ke enjoyed the superstar treatment at his second home court at the airport.
Logan stood up straight, spread out his hands with a look of helplessness, and looked at Lu Ke with a face full of teasing, "Otherwise, from now on you will still rely on your face to make a living, right? Otherwise, we won't be able to survive."
In an instant, everyone started cheering——
"Bambi, give us a way to survive. The professional arena now requires looks?"
"Bambi, Bambi, I'll be counting on you for the next while."
"We will follow you from now on, this is your home court."
"Hey, hey, this isn't fair. Didn't we say that the Pro Bowl is not allowed to have a home court?"
"How could this be possible? I still want to take Honolulu by storm."
…
Laughing, bustling, lively, and endless jokes.
I originally thought that in the face of a collective attack, Lu Ke would be shy and reserved, or even at a loss. However, unexpectedly, Lu Ke spread his hands calmly, accepted all the praises, and then said softly, "This is It’s not worth the fuss, don’t you know? The entire West Coast is already my home, now it’s just spreading to the Pacific.”
Not arrogant, but confident and calm.
That ironic humor instantly resonated with all the young players. It was originally just a joke between the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans players. Now, other young players have joined in the booing, laughing and yelling. In the meantime, everyone got together.
Before today, "Lu Ke" was just a symbol in news media reports; but now, Lu Ke appears vividly before our eyes, and in a few words he outlines a vibrant, bright, lively, and approachable character. Image, the barriers between young people were quickly broken, and the bus became harmonious.
Cam, who was sitting in the back row, was suffering.
Cam tried to appear calm and nonchalant, but this was not an easy task.
The fine clothes on his body gradually began to become hot. Lu Ke's calm and effortless posture in his eyes suddenly turned him into a complete joke. The sharp and tingling feeling could not be calmed down no matter how much adjustment he made. After suppressing it with all his strength, an unknown fire was still burning in his chest.
Grandstanding.
Ridiculous.
The clown.
Eating on face.
Embroidered pillow.
Taking a deep breath, and another deep breath, Cam regained his composure.
All this time, Cam has never regarded Lu Ke as his qualified opponent. To be more precise, he has not regarded anyone as his opponent. Everything is only about himself.
Among the rookie players in this class, Cam does not think anyone can compare with him. His challenge targets are always the top elite quarterbacks. He is convinced that he will set off a "superman wave" in the league and create a new era. A dynasty of its own.
This is not a war between him and others, but a war between him and himself - he knows that he has such potential, and the only thing he needs to do is to explore and develop it.
As for other rookie contenders at the same time? It was nothing more than entertainment and prank objects in my spare time. This is especially true for the Chinese-American undrafted rookie.
In addition to his seemingly beautiful passing skills, he has no ability to face off at all. Just like all Asian players in my impression, they can often stand out in competitions that test their skills; but in competitions that pay attention to confrontation, Among them, they were unable to pose an effective threat.
Lu Ke? Cam never took it seriously.
Now, things are changing.
In his impression, the insignificant and unworthy passerby A is now challenging his authority and strength. So, since the other party has decided to come to his door, he is also very willing to teach the other party a lesson and let the other party know, This is the NFL, this is his territory, not just anyone can easily gain a foothold.
Since you want a war, I'll give you a war!
Today, everything starts from today, this war has just started!
Cam is sure that he can make the opponent disgraced, defeated, and pissed off. The winner of this battle can only be him. This is the only result! Moreover, he wants to convince the opponent, not only with strength, not just with record, but also with skills. He also has to defeat his opponent with dignity.
This skills competition is the starting point.
