"It is rumored that your favorite team is the Green Bay Packers, and you once hoped to come to Green Bay to play. Is this true? So how do you feel about today's game?"
Harry Wayans is still the haunting "Sports Illustrated" reporter. He is sharp and pervasive. He is always trying to catch Lu Ke's sore feet and write about them. It was true last season and it is true this season.
It may seem like a simple topic, but it hides a shocking trap. If he is not careful, Lu Ke may offend all the San Francisco fans, and he may not be able to please Green Bay.
"Yes, I am a fan of the Green Bay Packers. It is no secret." Lu Ke answered straightforwardly without any detours, as if he was not aware of Harry's trap at all. But in fact, just as Lu Ke As he said, this was not a secret in the first place. He did not hide it and did not intend to hide it.
“The first time I watched a football game was a Green Bay Packers game. At that time, the legendary No. 4 player was still the quarterback of the team, but what really attracted me was the fan culture of this team, which makes people passionate about it. Fascinated. To be honest, this culture allowed me to find a sense of identity and integration. For me, who had just immigrated to the United States, this was very important."
A smile appeared on Lu Ke's face, as if he was recalling the good times of his childhood. Then, the topic changed and the conversation rhythm entered Lu Ke's pattern.
"But I am a San Francisco native. My parents, my friends, my growth, my memories, and most importantly, my graduation prom, all happened in this city. From stranger to integration, that city The city gradually accepted me and opened its arms and became my home. This is a completely different emotion."
"When I learned that I could play for the San Francisco 49ers, I was so moved that I almost shed tears. It was definitely not because that was the only team willing to accept me."
Inadvertently, Lu Ke once again laughed at himself about the fact that he was not drafted as a rookie. His cheerful words made other San Francisco 49ers teammates whistle, and even Lu Ke smiled.
"So, now I am standing on Green Bay, with a feeling of reverence, hoping to win a victory here. In the end, I still realized my dream of winning a victory at Lambeau Field. Then, I am the biggest winner."
clever!
It’s so clever!
A pun, using a victory to allude to two different meanings, one is the dream of playing at Lambeau Field, and the other is the dream of winning at Lambeau Field, but it used to be for the Green Bay Packers, and now it is Fighting for the San Francisco 49ers. Going all out to complete the game is Lu Ke's way of showing respect and respect.
In an instant, someone among the reporters took the initiative to applaud and praised Lu Ke.
Jay Fox was stunned. He was not the first one to applaud. Subconsciously, he turned his head and saw a reporter wearing a Green Bay Packers baseball cap. That should be the "Wisconsin State Daily" reporter, in other words, this is an endorsement from...an official reporter?
Then, Jay started clapping too, and then all the reporters at the scene started applauding.
Harry and Lu Ke regained their composure once again as they exchanged glances. The first confrontation of the new season: Lu Ke wins!
Of course, words are always just words. Only by truly standing on Lamborghini Stadium and truly feeling the green ocean of Packers fans can we truly understand why this team has become the best team in the NFL's century-old history. A unique and beautiful landscape.
Everyone says that to create a team, you must choose a big city, such as Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago. Only such a ball market can be large and popular enough to support a professional team and establish a foothold in a professional league. But Green Bay, which is just a small county with a population of only 100,000, gave birth to one of the greatest teams in the NFL.
Founded in 1919, the Green Bay Packers are the third-oldest team in the league after the Arizona Cardinals and Chicago Bears, and are the only non-profit team in the NFL that is jointly owned by the public.
Since its inception, the team has formally established a non-profit tradition. In order to continue the team's operations, they have issued a total of five stocks for financing in history.
The first financing occurred in 1923. After that, in order to prevent the team from leaving Green Bay due to financial problems, the second and third financing were conducted in 1935 and 1950 respectively.
That was still the old stock exchange era. At that time, all the residents of Green Bay City came out in droves, and the streets were empty, and there was a long queue in front of the stock exchange.
Even though they knew that these stocks would not pay dividends, even though they knew that purchasing the stocks would not confer management power, and even though each shareholder was limited to subscribing to two hundred shares during the third financing, this still did not diminish their enthusiasm and support. The city's residents have shown 100% loyalty, continuing the ancient and time-honored tradition of supporting the team year after year.
In 1997 and 2012, the team conducted its fourth and fifth rounds of financing, but the main group of people buying stocks were still local residents of Green Bay.
In this city, every resident has forest-green blood flowing, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
As Lu Ke said, this is a team with a fascinating team culture and fan cohesion.
The Green Bay Packers are one of the founding members of the National Football Conference (NFC). Historically, the team has won a total of thirteen conference championships, which ranks first in the entire league, nine of which came before the Super Bowl. era, four times in the post-Super Bowl era, the most recent being in 2010.
Even counting only the Super Bowl era, in just forty-six years, the Green Bay Packers have made the playoffs 27 times, won the division 14 times, and have four Wendi Longbottom Trophies. All of this Everything is enough to put the Green Bay Packers into the top ranks, becoming an indispensable and important part of the NFL with teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots and New York Giants!
There are countless glories and ups and downs about this team's long history. They have one of the greatest coaches in league history, Wendi Longbottom. They have one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history, Brett Favre. After the millennium, they also have one of the league's top elite quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers.
There is no doubt that this is one of the most important teams in the league.
Today, the San Francisco 49ers are about to face this team with a long history, tradition and rich cultural heritage at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
When Lu Ke stepped on the lawn of the Lamborghini Stadium, the overwhelming forest green came out in a mighty way, and the bright gold walked through it wantonly and flamboyantly like a swimming dragon, setting off one wave after another of turbulent waves. , the Lamborghini Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators, is just like every home match day: it is packed with seats.
I have witnessed the Rose Bowl with 100,000 people and the Candlestick Stadium with 70,000 people. It seems that I should not be shocked by the magnificence and magnificence of Lamborghini Stadium, but deep down it is different after all, just like the Los Angeles Lakers. Fans arrive at Staples Stadium and Real Madrid fans arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The feeling of pilgrimage makes people tremble slightly and worship.
What's more, the support from 80,000 fans came like a storm.
"GO! PACKERS, GO! (GO! YOU-PACKERS-GO!)"
"Up! Packers, up!"
Over and over again, uniformly, the boundless green is like a vast forest, growing vigorously and spreading wantonly on the surface of the blue earth. It seems that no sound can be heard in the ears, and one can only feel it deep in the soul. Wave after wave of shocks, like heavy punches, came down hard.
Bang bang bang.
Involuntarily, the heart began to beat along with it, and there was a gurgling sound above the eardrums. The blood began to boil, making people want to shout, roar, roar, and go crazy together. The power of one person is ultimately weak, but when the power of 80,000 people are twisted into a rope, it is enough to shake the entire world.
At this moment, the Lamborghini Stadium is so beautiful and thrilling that all words lose their color in an instant.
"Hey, man. Come to your senses." A hand stretched out, snapped his fingers in front of Lu Ke, turned his head, and then you could see Aaron Rogers' handsome face, with a joke With a smile, his eyes brightened slightly, "How about, do you want to consider transferring to Green Bay to play? I think we can still make some moves now."
Lu Ke had met Rogers before in the Pro Bowl.
As legendary as he is cold and distant, he attaches great importance to personal privacy and avoids chatting or talking as much as possible outside the court. Lu Ke went to the bar with Drew Brees, Tony Romo and others, but Rogers did not Appear.
However, Rogers is not an easy person to get along with. Lu Ke had a few conversations with him during the skills competition and the Pro Bowl. Surprisingly, he is a person who likes to tell cold jokes.
Then Brees could see Rogers and Lu Ke sitting nearby chatting awkwardly. He only did it for less than a minute before he was defeated and ran away, but ignored the mischievous light shining in the eyes of these two people.
When we meet again, it’s the official competition venue.
"I still prefer standing opposite you, not behind you." Lu Ke came back to his senses and said with a smile on his face.
Rogers spread his hands and said with a smile, "It's worth trying at least."
Then, the two people turned to look at the referee, witnessing the trajectory of the coin rolling up and down. Finally, it was determined that Lu Ke guessed the head, so the San Francisco 49ers took the lead in attacking, while the Green Bay Packers chose the field near the right side. .
Rogers and Lu Ke held each other's right hands, pulled hard, bumped shoulders, said to each other, "Good luck!" Then turned and left. The first game of the 2012 season finally started.
