"So after watching this game, do you think how many team managers have started to re-read last year's rookie training camp report?"
Facing Rogers' meaningful praise and recognition, Lu Ke chuckled and said seriously, "I will make careful calculations and see if I can surpass the one in 2000."
This is targeting Tom Brady.
Even when facing the most successful elite quarterback in the league in the past ten years, Lu Ke was not timid at all. Instead, he showed his ambition and eagerness to try. This confidence and determination still have an oriental flavor. His unique restraint and humility are really eye-catching.
Rogers couldn't help but chuckled lightly, and he could catch the little humor in Lu Ke's words, and then said, "Today's game was very exciting. But don't make it a habit. Things will be different the next time we play. It’s not that simple anymore.”
"You call today's game simple?" Lu Ke's eyebrows slightly raised, he pursed his lips and nodded slowly, saying confidently, "Then when we meet next time, I will try to be simpler. Way to take away a victory.”
"Let's wait and see." In the understatement, Rogers also burst out with a strong momentum that cannot be challenged or violated. After all, he is one of the top quarterbacks in the league and one of the quarterbacks who has won the Super Bowl. The foundation accumulated by stocks is not what Lu Ke can possess now.
The topic ended here. Neither of them continued talking. They bumped each other's shoulders again, then released their right hands and turned around to leave.
Before he could even take a step forward, Lu Ke had an idea flash in his mind and remembered something he had forgotten. He quickly turned around and called out to Rogers who was about to leave, "Aaron." He took the initiative to greet him. , said his request generously, "Can we exchange helmets?"
"What?" Rogers' head was full of questions, and he didn't expect this at all.
"Exchange helmets." Lu Ke repeated, "You know, it's like exchanging jerseys during a football match. Can we exchange helmets? As a souvenir."
Rogers was stunned for a moment, noticing Lu Ke's sincere eyes, and then he reacted. He lowered his head and looked at the No. 12 helmet in his hand. Finally, he handed it over and completed the exchange with Lu Ke. He did not hold back his curiosity. , and asked, "So, are you planning to swap in every game?"
"Important game. Unforgettable game. Special game." Lu Ke showed a big smile, "Maybe after my career is over, I can hold a helmet exhibition to record every memorable game. By the way I can also charge a fee to avoid poverty after retirement."
The self-joking joke successfully made Rogers smile again, "Next time you lose a game, remember to come over and exchange helmets with me." After saying that, Rogers turned around again and walked away.
In fact, Lu Ke just had a flash of inspiration.
This is only his second helmet swap.
The first time was in last season's divisional round. After a difficult victory over the New Orleans Saints, Lu Ke and Drew Brees shook hands after the game. Driven by excitement and excitement, he impulsively spoke. There is no such thing as a plan.
The same is true today. After the fierce and thrilling game, I simply hope to leave a memorial in a special way to remember those special games; but after the words blurted out, Lu Ke felt that this was a good idea. , maybe it can be implemented in the future.
Thinking about it this way, after losing the game in this year's conference finals, Lu Ke fell deeply into unwillingness and frustration. He was so lost that he completely forgot about the idea of exchanging helmets with Eli Manning. This has also become a regret. Even if the helmet exchange can be completed in the future, it will no longer be for that game.
However, it is not too late to start this plan now.
After completing the helmet exchange, Lu Ke joined his teammates, left the court, and took steps towards the long-awaited reporters. Post-game interviews are always an unavoidable part.
For reporters, what could be more exciting than a wonderful showdown? Not only because the matchup in this game was between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers, but also because both quarterbacks gave top-level performances in this game and fought until the last moment to decide the winner.
After the game ended, the game data of Lu Ke and Rogers immediately became the focus of heated discussion.
Aaron Rodgers, 32 of 45 passes, 415 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, quarterback rating of 120.2, PFF rating of 1.7.
Lu Ke, 26 of 35 passes, 298 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, quarterback rating of 125.7, PFF rating of 1.8.
Whether from the perspective of the game process or the statistics, this is a very close game. The performances of Lu Ke and Rogers are also comparable. The final result is only a matter of millimeters, a little bit of detail deviation. A little bit of luck was reflected in this narrow victory within three points.
Following Drew Brees last season, Lu Ke once again won a hard-fought victory against Aaron Rodgers, the second elite quarterback. This is still news to reporters.
It's not "fresh" news, but "breaking" news. Obviously, this game is full of countless focuses and explosive points, which are worth unfolding and exploring. The excitement is not inferior to the game itself, which is enough for them to win in the game. After the game, I was waiting hard for Lu Ke's arrival.
…
Randy Moss left the court and took steps towards the locker room. There was a burst of cheerful laughter in his ears. Without any effort, he could see the people surrounded by layers of circles. Lu Ke——
He held the No. 12 Green Bay Packers helmet in his hand, stood relaxed and comfortable, accepted the interview calmly and confidently, and revealed his ease and joy while talking and laughing. He doesn't look like a second-year player, nor does he look like an Asian player; but this shouldn't be an unexpected situation. After all, there has never been such a character in the NFL before him.
"...This was a wonderful game. We tried our best and fought hard to the end, but there is no doubt that the Green Bay Packers are a very, very good team. In the end, they were able to take away a victory with a little help. Luck, thanks to my teammates, we're all in the same boat now. That's great news."
The breeze brought Lu Ke's answers, with a slight smile on his lips, and he greeted the reporters' questions with ease and ease.
"Moss! Moss!"
Someone among the reporters caught Moss's figure, and immediately shouted excitedly, waving his arms vigorously, trying to attract Moss's attention, and then launch an interview.
As Moss' footsteps gradually approached, reporters' questions rushed in impatiently, "Excuse me, what do you think of today's game?" "Do you think your playing time is appropriate?" "Yours?" How is the game state?" "How does it feel after returning?"
All the spectators and reporters noticed the small collision between Lu Ke and Moss in the first quarter. Although this did not trigger a series of chain reactions, reporters inevitably began to speculate——
In the second half of the game, Moss finally came on the field as a rotating receiver in the third offense. However, the entire offensive momentum of the San Francisco 49ers is very smooth, and there are not many offensive opportunities in the third gear. There are even fewer connections between Lu Ke and Moss, and there is still no more information available.
Moss' footsteps were getting closer and closer, but he did not stop. After passing the reporters, he passed by the reporters calmly and continued toward the locker room, completely ignoring all the people. Shouting and asking questions, leaving only an indifferent figure, and finally completely disappeared behind the door of the locker room.
At this time, the reporters immediately became lively. All the questions they asked Lu Ke were inexplicable speculations. Everyone was suspicious of the disagreement between Lu Ke and Moss.
In response, Lu Ke shrugged calmly, without any panic, and replied calmly, "Randy and I have only known each other for less than four months. I will not easily use any exaggerated adjectives to describe us. But what is certain is that we are on the road to becoming teammates, and I think we still need a few games and some training games to develop more tacit understanding."
Although reporters would never buy such official rhetoric, Lu Ke was flawless and accepted a few more questions before turning around, ending today's post-game interview, and walked towards the locker room. past.
Randy Moss is part of the team and part of the offense.
As a top receiver in history, he may be far away from his peak, but Moss's experience, talent and ability are valuable and irreplaceable; especially for the young San Francisco 49ers offense. It is even more precious, like a rich treasure house, waiting to be excavated and explored.
Perhaps the veteran Moss was the missing piece of the puzzle for the San Francisco 49ers last season. Maybe not. You can only know after trying and working hard.
Hubble hopes that Moss can become an important addition to the offensive team; Lu Ke also agrees with this and fully supports it.
But obviously, during the offseason, the two people failed to find a correct direction for cooperation; in the first game of the regular season, the two people also failed to find a reasonable rhythm. There was even a conflict between them, which was not a good start.
The first game ended with a win, but there was a long season ahead.
Lu Ke sincerely hopes that Moss can become part of the offensive team. As the captain of the offensive team, he should take the initiative to extend an olive branch. He should take the initiative to make more attempts and efforts. What's more, today on the court, his Anger and impatience are obviously not the right ways to open up.
