"Are you getting used to everything? How effective is the training plan formulated by Andre?" As the footsteps approached, a burst of sunshine mixed with sweat hit my face, and it seemed that the excitement and energy could be clearly captured in the air. Vitality, for Laihe who has been sitting in the office for a long time, it may be difficult for him to exercise again, but it is still refreshing to feel the breath.
Lu Ke nodded and said, "Working." This meant that the cooperation between the two people was adjusting and adjusting, but the overall direction was still positive.
After half a day of high-intensity training, which continued for a month, every day, Lu Ke was now too tired to speak, so his words became concise and clear. While sweating profusely, the whole person felt as if he had been fished out of water; at the same time, he had to replenish water, pouring water into his stomach with big mouthfuls.
Lech gently retracted his chin, smiled, and said seemingly casually, "Bambi, you are a very conscious player. You don't need supervision or worry. For any agent, this is They are all dream players. But I still need to give some advice and not to make it too difficult for myself."
Lu Ke, who was wiping his sweat, couldn't help but paused and looked away in confusion.
Laihe still looked calm and relaxed, but his words revealed warm concern, "You should know that overtraining can easily cause sports injuries, not injuries, but wear and tear on the body, which lurks and accumulates Come down and cause irreparable damage. Ten years from now, twenty years from now, when you retire, I don’t want Anne to welcome you home with a wheelchair.”
Annie, this refers to Jiang Youning.
Jiang Youning mentioned before that during every game, Laihe must keep in touch with Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, keeping the phone open at all times to ensure that they are notified of Lu Ke's situation as soon as possible; even when there is no game, Laihe will He will also take the initiative to inform Lu Ke of his current situation and training situation.
Just in case, just in case, something happens to Lu Ke.
Lech didn't want his family to hear the news from reporters or television. The news that is passed on and spread is always alarmist and brings unnecessary harm to the players’ families. This is what Leh has been trying to avoid.
As an agent with a human touch, Lech's approach to things is truly unique. "I need to be responsible for him." These were Laihe's original words to Jiang Youning. In real life, he also did the same.
Leh watched this year's Pro Bowl at the Lu family.
Lu Zhengze formally extended an invitation, hoping that Laihe and his wife would come to his home for dinner. That night, Jiang Youning cooked the food himself, found the Steinbergs enthusiastically and generously, and watched the Pro Bowl together, spending a wonderful night together.
Faced with Laihe's teasing, Lu Ke laughed dumbly, "That's why I didn't practice any more just now."
"I noticed." Lech chuckled, "But are you sure? I noticed that your training volume is heavier than both Logan and Marcus."
"Ha." Lu Ke laughed, "Don't worry, Andre and I are getting along. If there are any problems, I will raise them. I will not make fun of my career."
In fact, Lu Ke's training volume is indeed a bit outrageous.
Not because of Andre, not because of the system.
Lu Ke had already figured out the rules of the system through the previous arrangements and adjustments of daily training tasks. It was always challenging Lu Ke's physical limits, but it would not actually cause damage, but would accumulate bit by bit, pushing Lu Ke's body forward. Breaking the bottleneck constraints, objectively speaking, the systematic arrangement is undoubtedly the most scientific and reasonable.
This time too.
According to Andre's arrangement, Lu Ke readjusted his training plan. On the same day, the daily tasks of the system were refreshed, reducing the number of some trainings to ensure that Lu Ke would not cause unnecessary injuries due to excessive training. .
Three days later, the system's daily training tasks were upgraded and adjusted, and training items such as the trampoline were included. Obviously, Andre's training plan passed the test. The system absorbed the advantages, eliminated the shortcomings, and made new arrangements.
But Lu Ke's training volume is still quite scary. The fundamental reason is the failure in the federation finals. The penalty for failure is the burden that Lu Ke must bear.
"The training effect during the offseason is reduced by 10%, and the difficulty of daily training tasks is increased by +1."
These two punishments were vividly and concretely reflected in every day's training. Lu Ke was truly dancing on the wire rope, trembling and constantly hitting his limits. Although the training effect dropped by 10%, But it can still be clearly felt that he seems to have touched the barrier of physical talent. He only needs to work harder to break through this layer of window paper.
Gradually, Lu Ke began to get used to such training weight, as if there were lead weights tied to his ankles. At first, he felt that it was difficult to move even an inch, but over time, he slowly became accustomed to them, and finally he couldn't feel their existence at all. Habits are a terrible thing, and human adaptability is a terrible thing.
Faced with Lu Ke's cheerfulness, Laihe nodded in agreement and did not continue to discuss this topic in depth. Instead, he politely asked, "How long is the break? Do you have time to slow down and talk?"
"Thirty minutes." Although he didn't say much, Lu Ke still captured the solemnity in Laihe's words. What's more, Lech is not the type to hang around. Since he came to visit the training ground specifically, it means that he has important matters to discuss.
Afterwards, Lu Ke and Laihe started walking around the training ground along the edge. In the center of the field, other friends were still training focused and seriously. Slogans and beats could be heard from time to time, and the two people talked more freely.
"After the regular season ended, sponsors came to us one after another, hoping to hire you as their spokesperson." Without going around in circles, Lech cut to the chase and got straight to the point, "The reason why I haven't told you this whole time is because You're preparing for the playoffs and I don't want you to be distracted; the other side of that is because I said no to them all."
As the only Chinese-American quarterback in the league, Lu Ke has created countless miracles; even leaving aside the label of "Chinese-American", as a rookie quarterback, Lu Ke has also written countless histories.
What's more, after the away game against the Arizona Cardinals, Roger Goodell's attitude undoubtedly represented the league's official position, which further paved the way for Lu Ke's rise.
Also, in the playoffs, Lu Ke defeated the New Orleans Saints in a strong showdown with a four-minute countdown; he tied the score with a Hail Mary Miracle and lost to the New York Giants in overtime. These two games even made Lu Ke a fan. countless.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Ke is a sweet man now. He has maintained too many interests, and everyone is trying to get a share of the pie. Even the NFL officials are no exception. Goodell has already begun planning related promotion activities for the new season. Lu Ke is undoubtedly Is one of the core characters.
But Laihe never informed Lu Ke, which was obviously abnormal.
"If it were other players who had never heard about sponsorship and endorsements, they would have been eager to ask about it. They wished they could become billionaires soon and spend as much as they wanted. But you never made any move, so I didn't rush to speak." Laihe shook his head gently, showing a helpless smile.
Lu Ke spread his hands, "Because I have the best agent, so choosing to trust him is the best choice."
Laihe's eyes fell on Lu Ke, showing a smile, and suddenly said, "I think you are very suitable for a talk show in the future."
These words were so sudden that Lu Ke couldn't help but be stunned.
But Lech did not stop and continued, "For rugby players, they tend to pay more attention to short-term commercial value. The advertising endorsements they get, no matter what brand they are, will be discussed next."
"On the one hand, there are too many players in the entire league, and only a very small group of players can get endorsements. As long as there is an opportunity, seize it; on the other hand, the careers of football players are often not long, and running backs If so, too many players will leave the game in one to three years. And if quarterbacks cannot occupy the main position, countless players will disappear in one or two years."
When Laihe was speaking, he glanced at Lu Ke, but noticed that Lu Ke was not moved at all, so he looked away and continued.
"So, you can't blame them for choosing short-term interests." Lech remained objective, "But I hope that you are not a passing meteor, but can become a flag in the alliance. Your commercial value far exceeds Peyton Manning and Tom Brady."
Otherwise, Lech would not have negotiated directly with Goodell at the beginning, because this was a huge plan and the alliance was also part of it.
Lu Ke nodded gently, "Now I finally understand what you meant when you chose to sign a contract with me."
Such self-deprecation made Lech chuckle, but he did not deny it.
"Everyone knows that the four major advertisements coveted by professional players are cars, sports equipment, clothing and beverages, but including these four brands, the advertising endorsements of rugby players can be simply divided into two types."
"One is fast-moving consumer goods, which are closely related to athletes' careers, such as pizza, soft drinks, and sports equipment. Only by performing well on the court can the contract be extended. Once you are injured or even retire, these advertisements may All gone.”
"The other type is luxury goods that focus on brand image, such as cars, watches, and fashion. What they value is the performance on the court, but more importantly, the personal image of the players and their influence off the court. Performance on the court is the foundation. But if you can successfully build a brand image, you can sell it for a long time.”
Lu Ke pursed his lips slightly, "Just like David Beckham?"
Lech paused, then laughed cheerfully, "Yeah, just like David Beckham!"
"Wait a minute, are you planning to make me into Beckham?" Lu Ke's eyes widened with an incredible expression.
