"Bambi!"
"Newton!"
"Bambi!"
"Newton!"
In Aloha Stadium, every spectator was eagerly calling the names of the players they supported, expressing their support and support with practical actions. But gradually, there was a roar, another roar, and back and forth, the two sounds were superimposed intertwinedly, like a whirlpool and a tsunami, rising vigorously, and amidst the roaring cheers and shouts of the audience, the sound began Gain the upper hand.
In the end, it was successfully twisted into a rope, which powerfully suppressed the other chaotic cheers and became the main theme of the audience!
"Bambi!"
"Newton!"
The names of the two rookie quarterbacks are making waves, rushing left and right forcefully and arrogantly, bursting out hot and high-spirited sparks, igniting the chemical reaction surging in the air, today's skills competition An unprecedented and incredible energy burst out, and it seemed like this was not the NFL Pro Bowl, but the NBA All-Star Game.
Objectively speaking, whether it is in terms of seniority or fan base, the two first-year students, Lu Ke and Newton, are not ranked at all in the Pro Bowl. They are far from qualified to trigger a support frenzy, but today is a special exception. .
Judging from previous years’ experience, the Pro Bowl is inherently a lottery, and big-name players have reservations, mainly to avoid injuries; and this is even more true for skills games, where competition comes second and entertainment comes first, and players have given up. Let go of the heavy burden and focus on participation. Therefore, among the ten players each sent by the American League and the National League, they are still mainly young players.
This year's skills competition made a bold attempt to open the individual competition, open registration to all players, and open admission to all spectators. It has a strong experimental nature and is full of countless uncertainties. No one knows how the effect will be, no one knows how the finished product will be, and no one knows what the trend will be.
Therefore, further, the individual skills competition has become a paradise for young players.
Compared with those long-established veterans, young players and substitute players who are waiting for the opportunity to show themselves, their desire for individual skills competition is more urgent, and they look forward to the individual skills competition becoming similar to a rookie training camp. The performance stage became a turning point in their career.
Except for a few senior players who submitted applications for fun, players in the third grade and below accounted for 80% of the registration list for the individual skills competition. This is an unexpected but reasonable result. For the league, this year is an experiment, and various accidents are inevitable, so they accept the status quo calmly.
Now, the individual skills competition is about to make its debut, but the star is a little dim.
Taking the quarterback position as an example, Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers of the American League, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees of the National League have not signed up to participate in the individual skills competition; instead of Tom- Andy Dalton, who played for Brady, and Lu Ke, who replaced Eli Manning, chose to sign up.
In other words, a total of eight quarterbacks were selected to the Pro Bowl roster, and only two first-year players appeared.
This is true for other locations as well.
Under such circumstances, Lu Ke and Newton, who have shone throughout the league this season, have come into everyone's sight. The constant stream of gossip gimmicks has added fuel to the fire, and they have undoubtedly become the biggest focus of today's individual skills competition.
When the first voice called the name "Bambi", the gangsters couldn't wait to call the name "Newton". As they came and fell, the gunpowder-filled duel slowly began. The scene became more and more fierce and fierce, like a drop of cold water falling into a pot of hot oil, rolling violently.
Gradually, other spectators stopped shouting and looked away, and then discovered the truth of the matter. Smiles appeared on their faces, and they joined this grand party one after another. A collective boo. However, everyone must choose a camp——
Lu Ke or Newton?
"Bambi! Bambi! Bambi!"
Unknowingly, the east wind began to overwhelm the west wind, and one after another, the torrential waves of sound were sweeping over. Only then did people realize that the vast majority of the audience had chosen the same camp invariably. The tacit understanding in their eyes and the corners of their mouths Their smiles matched each other's, so they began to cheer and worked together to overwhelm their opponents.
Roaring and roaring, slowly breaking the balance of the scale.
When the shouts of support reached a high level, the roar of Aloha Stadium began to surge continuously, and even the barrel-shaped waves on the north shore of Honolulu and the volcanic eruption on the Big Island were completely reduced to background. , which also further highlights the madness and heat of this stadium, bursting out with unimaginable and indescribable super vitality.
"Bambi! Bambi! Bambi!"
This wave of voices became stronger and stronger, and eventually the living space of the other voice completely disappeared and was wiped out. Then, more than 35,000 spectators in the audience enthusiastically shouted the same name, the same rhythm, and the same goal. The roaring resonance kept swirling in the chest, and finally evolved into a ray of light, tearing through the sky and illuminating the entire Pacific Ocean.
It was as if...as if Aloha Stadium was responding to Coleman's question.
Turning his head, Coleman saw the players participating in the skills competition entering one after another. Among the bustling crowd, the seemingly ordinary figure of player No. 14 stood out easily and became the player without hesitation. The focus of the audience, that enthusiasm kicked off this year's Pro Bowl with a bang.
Years later, when people look back again, they realize that history has left its footprints in this way.
…
A force of collision came from his shoulder, interrupting Lu Ke's thoughts. He turned his head reflexively, and then saw Tony Romo's handsome face with a bright smile. He blinked narrowly, "Mr. Bambi , how about it? Do you really feel a little bit more popular now? Look, those girls are going crazy for you."
Girl?
Lu Ke followed Romo's gaze and saw a group of bald men shaking off their abdominal fat. They were like star-struck girls, mindlessly waving San Francisco 49ers support scarves and calling his name with tears streaming down their faces.
Lu Ke glanced at Romo with black lines on his head: Is this what you call girls?
Romo also noticed the extremely powerful visual impact at this time and laughed happily, "Welcome to the NFL, this is what we call the teenage audience."
As an undrafted rookie, Romo was selected to the Pro Bowl three times in his career.
He is one of the most popular quarterbacks in the league and one of the most reviled in the league: leading Team America is definitely not an easy job.
Although he was not selected for the Pro Bowl this year, Romo still came to Honolulu. On the one hand, he will cooperate with the league to carry out a series of charity activities; on the other hand, the league will also use his high popularity to attract attention to the skills competition. Therefore, he signed up for this year's skills competition, but it is obvious that he is just joining in the fun. That’s all.
After leaving the fierce competition on the court, Romo's humor and generosity left a deep impression on people. A simple chat can show his personal charm. Faced with his teasing, Lu Ke pursed his lips with a look on his face. He nodded his head calmly in agreement, "No wonder, your teenage audience is all over the United States."
The witty counter-attack made Romo choke. Then he innocently raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. His funny expression instantly resolved the crisis, and the scene became relaxed and happy.
"It seems that someone is fully prepared." Romo teased in a joking voice.
Then, Lu Ke saw Cam Newton who was actively warming up.
Standing in the open space, Cam carried out the pre-game warm-up meticulously and methodically, stretching out the muscles of his entire body. He was as agile and elegant as a panther waiting for the moment to hunt. His rigorous and serious posture seemed to be treating Like a playoff elimination match, his anxious and fiery eyes were like laser eyes, which could burn big holes at any time wherever he looked.
That tight and serious look was not concealed at all. The other players around him felt the firm power and involuntarily gave way to space, forming a vacuum zone around Cam. The atmosphere of the key duel was unfolding. Little by little it continues to heat up.
The cheers and shouts from the stadium became even more harsh at this time.
Looking back, Romo looked at Lu Ke meaningfully, "What about you, are you ready? Or... are you ready to let go?"
"Ha, you overestimated my technical level." Lu Ke replied with a slight twinkle in his eyes, "Don't forget, I am an undrafted rookie, and it is far from my turn to show off. Even if I try my best, I won't be there. You have to be able to win, after all, this is a skills competition, where there are many talented people."
Behind the humble words, there were firm eyes, forming an interesting conflict. Strong self-confidence and high morale began to burn, and a bloody breath burst out from between his lips and teeth. He participated in a skills competition for the first time in his career. and the Pro Bowl, Lu Ke didn't want to become a spectator.
"What's more, there are not only two players participating in the competition. So arrogant? Not good, not good." Lu Ke's eyes fell on Romo, implying: You are also one of the contestants.
Romo immediately shook his head, "I'm just making up the numbers, making up the numbers." He grinned, and then couldn't help but start rubbing his hands, "Oh, what should I do? I think this year's skills competition is particularly beautiful. Am I right now? You should buy a pack of beef jerky, pair it with a can of beer, sit next to the stadium, and enjoy it up close." The eagerness to try really makes people laugh.
The smile in Lu Ke's eyes also overflowed, "If it were me, I would choose potato chips and melon seeds. If it is paired with watermelon or cantaloupe, it would be even better."
This is probably the case for the melon-eating masses.
