"attack!"
Lu Ke's voice rang out on the court, and the blood of both fans and players began to boil. This was a real professional player announcing the kickoff. This was a real NFL starting quarterback announcing the kickoff. In an instant, everyone traveled to the far side of the Pacific Ocean and stood on the court of a professional league.
Zhang Sanfan's gaze crossed the offensive line and was firmly aimed at Lu Ke, who looked extremely relaxed. He didn't know how huge the gap between professional players and non-professional players was because he had never competed in the same field, but he knew that he had to give his best. There must be no relaxation at all, otherwise there will be no confrontation at all.
Following the sound in his ears, Zhang Sanfan immediately started up, unleashing all the strength in his body and rushing forward with the strongest and most ferocious attitude.
The players on the offensive line didn't seem to realize that Zhang Sanfan was so desperate. Like Saburo, he lost his position in an instant. At the same time, Lei Qingkong, who was on the other side, rushed forward with great force and dived into the sea. Generally tearing open the offensive line's blockade.
Zhang Sanfan on the left and Lei Qingkong on the right worked together to knock away the offensive lineman's pocket protection, and then you could see Lu Ke exposed in sight. Before his eyes, two people were able to double-team and capture Lu Ke.
One second, Lu Ke seemed to be strolling leisurely; the next second, Lu Ke's footsteps began to retreat.
The ordinary steps opened the distance in an instant, and then a lateral adjustment of the steps won a passing space. Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke had already raised his hand to complete the pass.
Zhang Sanfan and Lei Qingkong rushed over. Seeing Lu Ke with empty hands, they quickly slowed down. Zhang Sanfan couldn't help but ask in a loud voice, "Where is the ball? Where is the ball?"
Lu Ke patted Zhang Sanfan on the shoulder, raised his chin, and gestured to the rear.
Zhang Sanfan turned his head, and in the chaos, he could see Sun Tongfei, who was rushing forward quickly. While adjusting his body with small steps, he raised his head to look for the arc of the rugby ball, and finally caught the rugby ball firmly in his arms.
Zhang Sanfan and Lei Qingkong exchanged glances, and both of them couldn't help but reveal helpless and excited smiles:
Only after the actual confrontation on the field can the gap become extremely clear.
Throughout the past season, the league has been criticizing Lu Ke's physical fitness, pocket footwork, confrontation ability, etc., but now it seems that the so-called "weakness" is only relative to professional players, not to mention ordinary players. Compared with people, even compared with amateur players, the overall level is much higher.
The following training matches proved this.
Lu Ke has been focusing on training his pocket steps. He is not in a hurry to release the ball quickly, but continues to observe under the pressure of the pocket, allowing the receiving player to run out as much as possible, and finally completes the long pass. Obviously, Lu Ke is continuing to practice his pocket steps, especially his pocket steps under pressure.
However, this is not just Lu Ke's training.
During the training process, Lu Ke has been directing the offensive line's confrontation and blocking, as well as the running and pick-off of the receiving players. It can be clearly felt that the state of the offensive team is slowly improving; the defensive team suddenly They gave up and complained that it was unfair. They also hoped to get advice, otherwise how could there be a confrontation.
Lu Ke also has a cheerful personality. He generously allowed Sun Tongfei to serve as the quarterback, while he served as a safety guard on the defensive team. He is said to be a safety guard, but it is actually better to call him a commander, because Lu Ke's defensive ability is really... It's hard to put it into words. Whether it is prediction or positioning, he seems to be very good on paper, but in actual operation, it is embarrassing.
A training session lasted for nearly an hour; then, Lu Ke conducted relaxation training after the training, some simple physical training and skill training, there was no secret at all, just ordinary daily basic training, curious Next, many players followed suit.
Twenty minutes later, a batch fell out.
Thirty minutes later, another batch dropped.
Forty-five minutes later, only Sun Tongfei was left panting and clenching his teeth, holding on only with the pride in his bones, refusing to give up easily or surrender.
After the training, Sun Tongfei was out of breath. He lay on the ground in a large shape, unable to move a finger; but Lu Ke still stood beside him, looking relaxed and relaxed, sweating profusely. The dripping expression not only shows no fatigue or distress, but also appears to be in high spirits.
Lu Ke came over, stretched out his hand, and pulled Sun Tongfei up, "The basic skills are still very good. In the same training, Logan and Marcus were miserable and tired, but you persisted. Why? So, how do you feel now? You should massage and relax your muscles well, otherwise it will easily affect your subsequent training."
Sun Tongfei tried to say something, but his physical strength and energy were exhausted. Not only could his voice not come out, but his thoughts could not move. He could only wave his hands helplessly and pour water down his throat.
Lei Qingkong took the initiative to step forward and couldn't help but exclaim, "Do you usually train with such intensity?"
"If I want to stay on the court for a long time, I still have many shortcomings to make up for, and this offseason is particularly important." Lu Ke said modestly, but his words were extremely sincere.
Lei Qingkong pointed at Sun Tongfei who was standing next to him, "He is 21 years old this year and can play both the running back and quarterback positions. In the second half of the year, he plans to go to the training camp of Michigan State University to learn football. What do you think? ?”
"For college students, guest positions can be played in various positions, because we all rely on our bodies to play. But in the past, when training at Michigan State University, the coaching staff would inevitably make different arrangements based on the qualifications of each player. I feel that if I Make a simple plan for the future in advance, and then take the initiative to communicate with the coaches at the training camp, and the results will be even better." Lu Ke objectively gave his opinion.
Sun Tongfei finally calmed down and asked, "Did your training intensity in the training camp always look like this?"
"I think if you were a running back, you might be even more ferocious." After Lu Ke finished speaking, he saw Sun Tongfei's frightened expression, which made Lu Ke laugh happily, "Training is more important. The process of accumulation over time, take your time, don’t think about becoming fat in one go.”
"Huh..." Sun Tongfei let out a long breath.
However, Lei Qingkong knew about Sun Tongfei and refused to admit defeat. He was a little arrogant, so he took the initiative and said, "Go over and talk to Xiangxiang and Afan. I have something to ask Bambi."
This was a step, and Sun Tongfei turned around and left, going to the side to rest. The training intensity had been increasing bit by bit, but suddenly it skyrocketed. Even Superman couldn't adapt immediately.
After watching Sun Tongfei leave, Lei Qingkong looked at Lu Ke again, "What do you think? Domestic football?"
"It's much more prosperous than I thought. When I was picked up at the airport, I was very surprised. I didn't know that domestic rugby has formed such a climate and there are so many supporters. This is really great. ." Lu Ke met Lei Qingkong's eyes intently, "And it can be seen from the training session just now that everyone is very enthusiastic about participating."
Lei Qingkong also showed a proud look, "Of course, our love for rugby is unquestionable."
"The most beautiful part of rugby is here. It is not only the combination of wisdom and strength, but also the result of the unity and concerted efforts of all players. This is more important than football, basketball and volleyball. Take a step further." Lu Ke's feelings were also very profound. Over the years, he learned rugby step by step, understood rugby, embraced rugby, and finally fell in love with rugby and became passionate about it.
Lei Qingkong raised his right hand to signal, and then he and Lu Ke high-fived each other, both of them showing a big smile.
Then, Lei Qingkong continued, "What do you think should be done if domestic rugby wants to further develop?"
"This question really stumps me." Lu Ke was also extremely sincere and laughed happily, "Personally, those who really promote rugby are those who love rugby, such as you, such as Sun Tongfei, For example, Zhang Sanfan, and everyone here today, everyone is in their own position and contributes to the promotion of a sport. Everyone is worthy of respect."
Lu Ke was not talking politely.
Soccer is like that, basketball is like that, volleyball is like that. This is true for every sport promotion.
On the surface, it seems that the promotion of sports must involve the intervention of funds and media in order to let more people understand this sport from a macro level; but in real life, it is those enthusiasts who use their love and support to , promoted, popularized, and spread bit by bit, infecting everyone around him, accumulating small amounts into large amounts, and finally completed qualitative changes from quantitative changes.
In the process of promoting a sport, people see the brilliance standing in front of the curtain, but they do not see the full efforts of the fans. They are the real main body of the vast market of a sport.
What Lu Ke was talking about were these unknown heroes standing in front of him. Their participation, their attendance, and their support are the best motivation.
Lu Ke contributed in his own way, and they also became one of them in their own way. They are all the same when it comes to communication and promotion of rugby.
Lei Qingkong's eyes flickered slightly with emotion, but he did not believe it completely. Instead, he said with a smile, "Everyone said that you are a little fox. When facing the media reporters, you do one thing after another. Now I finally It’s felt.”
The reason why he dared to say this was because Lu Ke's approachability narrowed the distance between the two people.
