"Theoretically, this can be compared..."
"Then I also say that from a practical point of view, this is not feasible."
"It's a mule or a horse. You'll know if you drag it out and run around."
"You are not Zhao Benshan, and you are still selling abductions here?"
"Wait, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? What is trafficking? Hey, is this a generation gap?"
The laughter, chirping, teasing, and fighting sounds are endless. You can really feel the joy and joy of everyone in every move. They push each other and enter the Hongkou Stadium in front of you. It is relaxed and brisk, and even makes people feel relaxed and happy. I couldn't help but want to hum, "My little boy, Xiaoerlang, carrying his schoolbag to school..."
In the morning, after leaving Pudong International Airport, Lei Qingkong and his party entered the city and met with members of the Shanghai Nighthawks of the Domestic Amateur Rugby League. They chatted and joked, and even gathered together to play rugby for a while, because Lu With the arrival of Ke, every rugby enthusiast and practitioner fell into an unprecedented state of excitement. Even Zhang Sanfan, who was usually honest and introverted, became talkative.
After lunch, the Nighthawks players must go back to training and prepare for tonight's game. After all, this is the first time for a top professional player to watch in person. What's more, this professional player is of Chinese descent. They must use their best state to deliver the best performance.
As for Lei Qingkong and his party, they arrived at Hongkou Stadium early to warm up for the afternoon fan interactive meeting.
Lei Qingkong was the first to notice the difference on the court. On the huge football field, he could clearly see two people doing the most basic training conscientiously.
A player is moving quickly laterally between the rope ladders. About five yards away, another trainer is standing directly opposite. The two of them are constantly throwing a medium-sized yoga ball to each other, accompanying the player's movements. , the direction and angle are constantly changing, but the action of throwing and catching the ball has never been flawless.
Suddenly, the trainer slammed the yoga ball hard, and at the same time, he rushed forward step by step, like a tiger descending a mountain. Two consecutive waves of impact hit him head-on without any breathing space.
However, I saw that the player did not panic at all, raised his hand to catch the yoga ball, squatted down slightly to remove the impact of the yoga ball, and then suddenly accelerated laterally, moving quickly towards the left, but his steps were He always maintained stability, staggering, staggering, and staggering again. His instantaneous explosive power allowed him to successfully stagger his position and narrowly avoid the rushing trainer.
Looking at it from a distance, the view is not too real, and it actually gives the illusion of being transformed.
This is not the end yet. After the player finished adjusting his steps, he grabbed the yoga ball with his right hand and threw it towards the football basket more than ten yards away. It swayed like a regular pass, and the yoga ball It just staggered into the basket.
Then the players raised their hands high and waved to the trainer, as if to say: Keep going.
That is……
"Bambi!" Zhou Yuxiang couldn't restrain his excitement and excitement, and blurted out in exclamation. After finishing speaking, Zhou Yuxiang still couldn't believe his eyes, "Wait, did I see it wrong? Or, just Was I the only one who saw it?"
It's just less than two o'clock, and there are still more than two hours before the fan interactive meeting. Everyone takes it for granted that the Hongkou Stadium should be empty. Even if there are people, they should be the staff preparing for the meeting. , but...why does Lu Ke appear here?
"I saw it too." Zhang Sanfan replied seriously.
Sun Tongfei also nodded blankly, but could not say a word; and he was not the only one, everyone else gathered together and stared at the stadium in stunned silence, as if they didn't know what reaction they should make.
Lei Qingkong sighed softly and told the truth, "Bambi is training."
Even if he said it himself, even if he saw it with his own eyes, Lei Qingkong still found it unbelievable.
It was only four hours ago that Lu Ke landed at Pudong International Airport. Not to mention the fatigue of the long-distance flight, he immediately participated in a series of official activities and was tested at all levels. After that, there was no rest, no relaxation, and no enjoyment. , he has returned to the training ground and officially started daily training every day.
More importantly, everyone knew clearly that Lu Ke's trip was only for two days and one night. Even so, Lu Ke still did not relax or slack off at all.
Zhang Sanfan sighed honestly, "So, is this the real superstar?"
Sun Tongfei was a little reluctant to admit defeat, and said arrogantly, "However, we train so hard and difficult every day, and we never relax easily."
Lei Qingkong did not refute, but added, "The problem is that Bambi has already had a brilliant season, and he has stood on the shoulders of countless people."
This time, Sun Tongfei didn't speak again.
Zhang Sanfan raised an extremely curious idea, "So, is this the intensity of the professional league?"
No one answered, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious: in the NFL, the high-intensity competitive firepower is really unimaginable, not just for Chinese-American players, but for all players in the entire league. There is not much breathing room. A little bit of laxity may put you far behind other competitors.
As the first Chinese-American player in the history of the league, Lu Ke's efforts must be doubled.
"Then what should we do now?" Sun Tongfei was a little confused and couldn't think straight for a while. Then he turned to look at his companions. Everyone was a little stunned, "Classmate Zhou Yu, why don't you say anything? Come in from Since then, you have been silent, what are your opinions now?"
Zhou Yuxiang opened his mouth, but found that no sound came out.
Lei Qingkong finally spoke, "Let's go to the stands and don't disturb Bambi's training. Actually..." Lei Qingkong was still a little hesitant, because some top superstars are not allowed to watch their private training. Maybe he was worried about leaks. It's because I'm worried about being disturbed, of course, or it could be just a big name.
"Hey, guys?" An English call came from the distance, and then it switched to Chinese. "Are you fans who are planning to come over to participate in the event later? If you don't mind, you can come over and practice together."
It's Lu Ke.
Lu Ke temporarily put down the training in his hands, and then ran over quickly, his voice became clearer, looking at the large group of people who stayed in place like wooden figures, he said with a bright smile, "Do you usually play rugby? I I just heard from the staff of NFL China that today there are many fans who play rugby and amateur rugby league players. If you are interested, we can play a simple practice match."
Everyone's jaws were almost dislocated and they couldn't believe their ears.
After receiving a cold reception, Lu Ke didn't mind and spread his hands, "Don't worry, the practice match is still mainly for fun, it won't be too difficult. Even if you haven't really played rugby, as long as you are interested, you can come and try it." have a look."
After all, Lei Qingkong is still older, and his experience and experience are there, and he is the first to come to his senses, "Of course, of course there is no problem. We usually play, we can form an offensive team and a defensive team, and then everyone plays together In a practice match, this is Sun Tongfei, who also plays quarterback. If I can learn from you up close, this is definitely the best opportunity."
While talking, Lei Qingkong pulled Sun Tongfei over.
Sun Tongfei also straightened his back, opened his chest to meet Lu Ke's gaze, and tried his best to smile, but the slightly stiff facial muscles still revealed his inner nervousness, "Theoretically speaking, I am a four-pointer with a different style. Guard, in the team, I usually work part-time as a running back, so when passing the ball, I can't find a gap, I can also rush the ball by myself, I think..."
"Theory is theory, practice is practice." Lu Ke said with a smile, interrupting Sun Tongfei's words, "After all, these are two different things, both running quarterback and pocket quarterback. My own playing style, instead of us standing here and talking about it on paper, why not go into practice matches now and try it out."
"That's right." Zhou Yuxiang could only nod his head, and at this time he forgot about his poor words.
Zhang Sanfan, who was usually as dull as a gourd, suddenly stepped out, took a step forward, and said calmly and firmly, "Bambi, I'm playing flag football now, as a linebacker. My biggest dream is to sack you once." .”
Lu Ke gave a thumbs up and expressed his praise, "In that case, let's come over and give it a try. Can we see where we stand on the field?"
He did not put on the posture of a professional player, but stood on an equal footing and accepted the challenge with an open mind.
Zhang Sanfan immediately clenched his fists, cheering for himself, and put on an ambitious posture, as if he truly believed that he could complete the sack in the training match.
Lu Ke leaned back slightly, greeting everyone to enter the stadium as a master, but saw that the tall and strong middle-aged man who had just taken the initiative to line up was still standing there, with no intention of moving.
Lu Ke took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his right hand, "I am Lu Ke."
"I know." Lei Qingkong replied, then reacted, showed an embarrassed smile, and held Lu Ke's right hand, "I am Frederick, you can call me Fred. "
"First time meeting, Fred." Lu Ke greeted him, "Why, aren't you going to play?"
"No, no need, I'm no longer young." Lei Qingkong waved his hands repeatedly and declined politely, "You can just play."
Lu Ke did not accept such an answer, "There are more and more players over 30 years old in the league, and their condition is no worse than that of young people. Are you sure you don't want to get off the field? There are many ways to participate in rugby, but the last There is nothing more exciting than standing on the court and fighting side by side with your teammates, are you sure?"
Lei Qingkong couldn't refuse.
