"Bambi, we are ready to leave, what about you?"
Lu Ke didn't raise his head or look back, he just waved his hand subconsciously, his eyes still staying on the big screen, studying the game video, with no intention of leaving.
Colin Kaepernick and Scott Tolsin had long been accustomed to such scenes, so they packed their backpacks and left the office without any surprise.
In the team office building, players at different positions have their own offices. For example, the linebackers share an office; another example is that the offensive linemen share an office. This is mainly to facilitate the corresponding coaches to hold meetings to discuss the use of tactics. At the same time, players in the same position can also study the tactical manual internally and hold meetings.
The three quarterbacks also share a room, each with a desk and a large projector directly in front of them for studying game footage.
This is the space that belongs to the quarterback. It is undoubtedly the core and most important room of the entire team. However, other players within the San Francisco 49ers have ridiculed this space as "Inception" - the subtext is that it is too much. Brain-burning, every time the rhythm of discussing the tactical manual is too much for others.
Every day, Lu Ke, Kaepernick, and Torshin would study the tactical manuals and game videos here; every day, Lu Ke was the last one to leave, and others never knew what time Lu Ke would leave. , like a mysterious puzzle that no one can answer.
Maybe Jim Hubble can, because that's another overtime guy.
At this time, Lu Ke is studying the game between the New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second week of the regular season.
It's not because the Giants lost, but because it was very difficult for the Giants to win. The final score was "41:34." Facing the Buccaneers' offensive team that lacked bright spots, the Giants' defensive team was losing ground. There wasn't much in the game. A performance worth mentioning, if it weren't for Eli Manning gritting his teeth at the last moment, he still didn't let up and won the victory.
The New York Giants' defense is not the top team in the league. In the past two games, the San Francisco 49ers' offense has always been able to score smoothly. The first time was "28:27" and the second time was "24:30". Strictly speaking, the scoring has reached above the average level; but the offensive team's performance has always struggled a bit and has never been completely smooth.
Lu Ke needs to find the crack codes of other teams to open up his own ideas and find more possibilities.
Unconsciously, the passage of time lost its meaning. When Lu Ke came back to his senses, "Scott, Colin, you..." turned his head, only to find that he was the only one left in the whole room. "Hey, when did they leave?" Lu Ke had no memory at all in his mind.
I looked at the time, it was now eight fifteen.
Lu Ke realized that he should go home and continue watching today's game video after dinner. Just now, he gained something. Tomorrow he can share his thoughts with other quarterbacks and offensive coaches, brainstorm ideas, and interpret them from different angles. Maybe he can see details that he was not aware of.
He quickly opened his notebook, not a computer, but a handwritten notebook, recorded his thoughts, packed them up, and then quickly left the team building.
Looking back, you can easily see that the lights in the head coach's office are still bright.
In my impression, Hubble leaves later than Lu Ke almost every day. This is not surprising, because after returning home, Hubble does not work——
To be precise, it doesn't work. Hubble has been married twice. The first one lasted until 2006 and ended in divorce. During the ten years of marriage, he gave birth to a total of three children, two sons and one daughter. After the divorce, custody of the three children was awarded to Hubble because his job and income are more stable.
The second period started in 2008 and lasted until now. He gave birth to three more children, two daughters and a son. The oldest child now is only seven years old.
There were six children in total. Back home, this meant not only a large family, but also a noisy family, and Hubble had no way to start working.
So, Hubble made a rule. All work is left at the training base, either in the office all night, otherwise I won't touch work again after I go home.
In comparison, as a bachelor, Lu Ke can go home and continue to study the tactical manual or watch game videos comfortably without staying in the office building.
Last year, the team's understanding of Hubble was really limited, and they didn't understand Hubble's situation at all. They also secretly speculated whether Hubble's family was broken up, or he had conflicts with his partner, or else he was selfless. Throwing yourself into work, completely leaving your family behind, all sorts of speculations abound.
But apparently, they all guessed wrong.
Facing the New York Giants next week, the San Francisco 49ers are also on high alert, and Hubble is going all out to prepare.
After leaving the office building, Lu Ke walked all the way towards the parking lot. He kept thinking about the last attack he just watched in his mind. He thought about it carefully. After he entered the parking lot, the moon-white overhead lights fell on him. When he came down, he dragged his figure into a long figure, and there was a faint coldness, which made people realize that it was already early autumn.
There was a whistling sound in my ears, and I could immediately tell that it was the sound of the game.
Following the sound and looking away, Lu Ke saw Randy Moss.
Moss was sitting high on the back of the pickup truck, with a tablet on his knees, watching the game video intently.
Lu Ke paused slightly for a moment. Lu Ke knew that Moss was a lone ranger, and all his relationships stayed on the training ground. To express it in a relatively professional psychological way: he refused to have any further intimate relationship with anyone. Therefore, he should not and does not need to stay here anymore. Leaving directly is the best option.
However, the peripheral vision captured the image on the tablet computer, which was somewhat reflective and slightly blurry, and could only vaguely capture an outline; at the same time, the tactical slogans, commentary sounds, and on-site cheers passed through my ears, which was very important to me. For Lu Ke, it couldn't be more familiar. Because I have watched the game video countless times and it is deeply imprinted in my mind.
This is their offense against the Buffalo Bills.
According to the plan, Lu Ke should pass the ball to Moss, but Moss's running route completely deviated from the planned track, forcing Lu Ke's shot to be half a beat slower, although in the end it was successfully shot. The rhythm didn't come together, and Moss didn't catch the ball.
That was an incomplete pass.
"Why are you running like that?" Lu Ke couldn't hold it back after all, and asked, "If you are trying to tear apart the regional defense layout, the running route can be more concise, and there is no need to deliberately make those pauses and turns. , just half a shot in advance, the situation will be different."
Usually, the team will also discuss this in tactical meetings, especially for rookie players.
For example, the quarterback shouts a series of tactical slogans, and then the wide receiver and tight end are positioned on the side. How should they run? After the defensive team makes corresponding arrangements, how should they switch? Or how to change the defensive position?
This is true in the preparation stage, and it is also true in the summary stage.
This is a crucial process.
However, in the past few games, there were not many connections between Moss and Lu Ke, and there was not much material to discuss; and the communication between Hubble and Moss has never been able to achieve more results. Analysis on tactics The discussion could not really start.
But now, Lu Ke couldn't hold back after all and expressed his thoughts——
Arguments or disputes are not a problem. Only when communication is completed can both parties establish a connection. Lu Ke needs to know Moss's true thoughts. Only in this way can he create possibilities for future connections.
Lu Ke's calm voice rang out in the cold parking lot. Moss, who was watching the game video, raised his head.
When he realized that the person coming was Lu Ke, he frowned and was in a bad mood. His whole body exuded an aura that said no strangers should enter, and he cursed sternly, "Get out!"
He uses foul language when he opens his mouth.
Moreover, the emotions have not calmed down, but are gradually tumbling, "Fuck! Who are you? Who the hell are you? You dare to talk to me like this? You actually came here to teach me how to run? Damn it! !”
Moss kept talking, and all the suppressed anger was vented, "Who do you think you are? If your passing arc is a little higher, I can easily complete the ball. My running There's no problem running the route, I can get rid of the cornerback and create a misalignment of the other safety, and then..."
"No more. Because you didn't complete the ball." Lu Ke interrupted without showing any signs of weakness. "If it was Ted, he could complete the ball and even continue to advance. In order to tear apart the zone defense, , but put the cart before the horse and lost the opportunity to catch the ball..."
"You can pass the ball half a beat too slow!"
"But this is a quick pass. I have delayed it for half a beat and the intention of the pass has been exposed!"
"Grass! Get away!"
After the fast-paced back and forth, Moss was stunned for a moment, cursed fiercely, then supported the edge of the truck with his left hand, jumped down, and cursed in his mouth, saying, "You are such a clown who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Ridiculously stupid, arrogant, I can’t believe it, I just can’t believe it, someone is actually here to guide me in running routes? Damn it!”
Moss walked further and further, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He stopped, turned around and cursed with a deep face, "Not even Tom Brady can teach me how to run! Who are you? Tell me, you Who is it? What qualifications do you have to talk to me? Damn it!"
This is not the end. What followed was a series of obscene swear words, venting all the anger and depression.
"Really?" Lu Ke asked back without any timidity or fear.
Moss couldn't help but be stunned: What do you mean?
