"several times?"
"What?"
Faced with Crabtree's endless and aggressive complaints and accusations, Lu Ke's temper also rose. It was obvious that Crabtree had preconceived conclusions and attributed all faults to cliques. , this pot is really too big and heavy, Lu Ke doesn't want to carry it on his back easily.
Since Crabtree has a score to settle, let's settle it properly.
Every time a pass was not completed during a game, Lu Ke would be frustrated, depressed and helpless. He would inevitably complain, be angry, and be depressed. If he could pass all the responsibilities to others, he would be much more relaxed.
But Lu Ke always told himself that the relationship between quarterback and wide receiver is inherently interdependent and mutually helpful. Occasionally, his passing may be biased, which requires the outside receiver to use his own ability to complete the ball; conversely, when the outside receiver is in poor condition and the ball fails, this also requires his defensive reading and pass control. More accurate. This is inevitable.
Therefore, Lu Ke has always avoided simply and crudely passing the responsibility to the wide receiver. This is unfair.
In the past two games, although Crabtree was never in the best condition, Lu Ke did not want to appear too aggressive, so he did not talk to the opponent immediately, but left sufficient adjustment and buffer time. Hopefully Crabtree can get back to form as soon as possible.
Now, Crabtree actually started to settle accounts with himself, and he also cleared away all his responsibilities in words and words, so Lu Ke didn't mind opening the skylight and speaking frankly, "How many times? How many times did you lose the ball? "
Crabtree's face suddenly turned red and his eyes widened, "Twice, just twice! What's the big deal? It was just an accident, an accident!"
"Four times." Lu Ke's expression also darkened, and he said extremely seriously, "Leave aside the pressure exerted by the defensive players, there are four dropped balls caused by the butter hand alone. Michael, even if the team chooses you as a victim , and it’s not because Logan and I have a particularly good personal relationship, but because you are not in your best condition.”
"Aha! You admitted it!" Crabtree's focus was completely different. "You chose me as a victim? You are now planning to replace me in the starting position, aren't you! Are you not? I caught you, right? ?”
"So, is this my responsibility or yours?" Lu Ke did not argue again and again. Instead of doing this, it was better to continue following the topic.
Then you can see Crabtree opening his mouth, as if he was ready to quibble, but Lu Ke did not give him a chance, "Michael, if you want to win the starting position, then rely on your own efforts to win it, your performance , now he doesn’t deserve to start, and he doesn’t deserve to win.”
"If you have grievances and anger, the last person you should vent to is me." Lu Ke could no longer find a smile on his face, and bloody Bambi's violence and strength burst out instantly, "Although I am now the starter Quarterback, but I was always working hard, just like a duck paddling. On the surface, I looked leisurely, but under the water, I kept kicking because I was worried, what if Colin overtakes me? What if my What should I do if my condition is not good enough to start? I need to work harder to prove myself, I never relax."
"What about you? You're complaining in front of me now that we didn't pay enough attention to you, so what about your efforts?" Lu Ke's counterattack was so fast and fierce that Crabtree couldn't react, "When While Mario, Chad, and AJ are studying the playbook and working hard to cooperate in training, what about you? You are complaining."
"Go away!" Crabtree became angry and pushed Lu Ke's chest away with both hands again, and then said word for word, "Don't compare me with those guys! I! Not! Damn it!" Rookie!"
"Then improve your condition quickly!" Lu Ke took half a step back, then pushed forward forcefully, forming a confrontation with Crabtree, and slammed back forcefully, "Whether it is participating in training, Still learning tactics, or other methods, if you need help, the training ground is here, and we are all here, no one will isolate you. As long as you can improve your condition, the starting position is yours!"
"Fight for it! Instead of complaining about it!" Lu Ke said through gritted teeth, his hands already clenched into fists. After enduring it and enduring it, he finally controlled his emotions and ignored Crabtree again. Instead, he turned around and left in stride.
Lu Ke didn't like Crabtree's attitude today, very much. If he shifted all responsibilities to others, things would seem to become much simpler; but he was immersed in the emotion of resentment and couldn't extricate himself. , refusing to work hard and refusing to compromise, which is very bad for team sports.
But Lu Ke has not forgotten his identity and mission. He is the captain of the offensive team, and he is working hard to become a competent leader. This is true when participating in second-team training, and it is also true when facing Crabtree. Therefore, he finally suppressed all his anger and dissatisfaction and turned around to leave.
Crabtree stood there, but his thoughts still couldn't move immediately, "Get out! Get away, everyone! What else can you do besides talking nonsense from above? Coward! You are a coward!" The follow-up was With a series of swear words, Crabtree kicked the wall hard and vented all his anger.
The thunderous sound echoed in the open space, and everyone passing by could clearly catch it.
A group of people gathered at the door of the locker room. Logan and Marcus were standing at the front. Logan took the initiative to greet him and cast a worried look, "Bambi, are you okay?"
Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes were cast over.
Lu Ke showed a relaxed smile, "What, are you going to practice more with me? Welcome, warm welcome."
The solemn and solemn atmosphere melted away in an instant. Everyone dispersed and rushed into the locker room. The spectacular scene was truly breathtaking.
Lu Ke himself couldn't help laughing, "This is almost like an exorcist, the effect is not too good."
Only a few familiar teammates remained, including Logan and Marcus, and then Rupadi and Aldon. They were all very familiar with Lu Ke's behavior. They had long been accustomed to it, and the corners of their mouths slightly raised. , but soon calmed down, and looked at Lu Ke with a worried expression, obviously his attention was still not diverted.
Lu Ke shook his head helplessly, "It's okay. Michael just needs some time to calm down." But several friends showed disbelief, and he could only spread his hands, "I want to help, too. But Jim probably won’t listen to my advice, it’s not yet time for Kevin to be home alone.”
"Kevin", "Home-Alone", is actually a reference to the famous 1990 comedy movie "Home Alone". Eight-year-old Kevin was accidentally left home alone at Christmas, but met Two robbers came to the door. Since the adults were not at home, Kevin became the boss in charge of the house. He needed to drive the two robbers out and protect his home.
What Lu Ke means now is that Jim Hubble is the one who controls the starting lineup, and it is not his turn to dictate.
A small joke, but it explained the situation in the simplest way.
Logan and others immediately understood, but they were unable to help. Marcus could only regretfully express his comfort, "Michael is just impatient. We can all understand. You don't have to worry too much."
Logan complained angrily, "He knows how to complain, complain, complain, and now he vents his anger on you. He really doesn't know what to say. If he could perform better during the game, then now he will It won't be like this anymore. During our training today, why didn't we see him being more proactive? Everyone was working hard to cooperate, and he was the only one wandering around, as if the whole world owed him."
"Logan," Marcus persuaded.
But Logan didn't care, "I'm serious. Vernon and I are not in a good state. We are all working hard to adjust, and we are all actively adapting to the situation. This season is for all of us. New, why is he the only one special? Why does the whole team have to revolve around him? Even if the team revolves around one person, it should be Bambi, not him."
"Logan!" The words became more and more outrageous, and Lu Ke had to shout to stop.
Logan then calmed down a little, muttered a few words, but ultimately did not continue.
Lu Ke could feel the worried eyes of Rupati and Marcus, Aldon's complaining eyes, and Logan's dissatisfied eyes. It seemed that everyone except him, the client, was more excited and excited, and his heart couldn't help but slip. After a hint of warmth, the smile on Lu Ke's lips rose again, and he pretended to be serious, "Don't think that tonight's tactical meeting can reduce the task."
Logan knew Lu Ke best, and he immediately started to complain, "No way! Don't be like this, our rest time is so long this time, we don't have to be in such a hurry, right? Take it slow, we can take it slow Come."
The solemn atmosphere relaxed again.
But for the first time, Lu Ke truly felt the pressure of a winning streak.
Last season, the longest winning streak was just five consecutive wins, and the so-called pressure seemed unclear.
But this season, they have now reached seven consecutive victories. The impact of injuries, state fluctuations, mentality changes, and various factors have gradually begun to emerge. In a long season, the problems they need to face are becoming more and more serious. There are more and more, and at the same time, the games every week will not stop, they will continue to come, and the pressure that comes with it is also accumulating little by little.
Will the young and energetic San Francisco 49ers fall apart under the pressure and slump; or will they stand up and stand out under the pressure?
No one knows, so we can only move forward step by step, and the away game against the Arizona Cardinals is the first step.
