On December 11 last year, the famous "racial/racial/discrimination" incident occurred on the University of Phoenix Stadium, which also forced the league to make an official position, and for the first time truly affirmed Lu Ke's actions. Chinese players have a place, and relevant penalties were made with fast, accurate and harsh punishment methods, sealing the final conclusion.
On October 29 this year, when the first anniversary of that incident was about to turn out, the San Francisco 49ers returned to this venue again to play against the Arizona Cardinals. This game naturally became the focus of attention, not only because of Lu Ke The first time I set foot on this field after the incident was also because of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the sworn enemies in the same district.
All of this makes this game a lot to watch.
What is certain is that no one likes the San Francisco 49ers at the University of Phoenix Stadium, and no one likes Lu Ke.
That game last season was unforgettable for the San Francisco 49ers and Lu Ke, and it was also an indelible shame for the Arizona Cardinals.
The Arizona Cardinals fans who took the initiative to attack were not only slapped hard by their opponents and lost the game; they also caused the team to suffer fines and warnings, becoming a negative example for the entire league and being nailed. It was put on the pillar of shame and displayed everywhere; further, the other 31 teams also drew a clear line, fearing to avoid such a sensitive topic.
Not to mention a profit, even the capital was not recovered. It was really a loss of both sesame and watermelon.
Now, whenever people bring up the rivalry "Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers" in the same division, no one mentions that the Cardinals ended the 49ers' five-game winning streak last year and were undefeated at home this season. First impression That malicious attack seems to have become an ugly label that cannot be torn off, firmly affixed to their foreheads.
With the passage of time, I finally calmed down a little, and it seemed that I could finally turn the page and open a new chapter. Before this game, those old things were brought up and discussed again. All sports programs and sports columns were Everyone said that this will be another match worth remembering——
What performance can Lu Ke, who has returned to this venue after a year, be able to contribute?
The ghost lingers, the real ghost lingers.
Arizona Cardinals fans also held their breath and were gearing up to show their presence and let the San Francisco 49ers experience what a real "devil's home court" is.
This time, the fans learned their lesson, no foul language or attacks, and adopted a smarter and more effective method.
A simple and crude noise comparable to that of a jet aircraft broke out, and various onomatopoeias collided together and evolved into a noise of "buzz, buzz, buzz", which lingered over the offensive group for a long time, like Dark clouds are overwhelming.
From time to time, without warning, when Lu Ke was passing the ball, a burst of strange screams erupted. The ups and downs of the roar were like a disaster scene in a horror movie. The howling ghosts, startles and sudden movements were really frightening.
When Lu Ke successfully passed the ball, the scene erupted with a sound of vomiting. When Lu Ke failed to pass the ball, or when the defensive team completed the tackle on the receiving player for the first time, another wave of irony erupted on the scene. Absolute laughter, not celebration, but laughter, trying his best to activate the taunting skills.
The entire University of Phoenix stadium was a scene of a massive car accident.
The noise is not terrible. The terrible thing is to maintain attention amidst the sounds of ridicule, joking, disdain, contempt and ridicule. It is like standing on the stage, but the entire audience is laughing continuously, even if they are full of confidence , well-informed performers can hardly withstand that kind of huge pressure, not to mention, the football offense is like a precision calculation instrument, and there is no room for error.
Faced with such a difficult game environment, the offensive team led by Lu Ke broke out into the most focused and concentrated state of the season. Every player remained fully focused and went all out without any hesitation. All the anger, frustration, and depression were turned into motivation on the court.
At the moment when the first quarter of the game is about to end——
"Touchdown! Touchdown! Awesome touchdown!"
"There is no doubt that this is another beautiful touchdown! Returning to the University of Phoenix Stadium after a year, Lu Ke showed rare growth and outstanding condition! He responded in the most direct and powerful way !”
"The San Francisco 49ers offensive team showed an excellent state in today's game that is different from the previous two games!"
"The Arizona Cardinals defensive team focused all their attention on pass defense, because the opponent's first wave of touchdowns was completed through the pass, but Lu Ke, through the command and arrangement of the offensive line, continued to tear apart The lack of running space creates more conditions for the running back to run the ball and further restricts the defensive team's retreat momentum, which was the case in this offense just now."
"Marcus Lynch ran the ball three times, the longest of which was sixteen yards; Frank Gower ran the ball four times, totaling twenty-three yards, averaging 5.75 yards per run. , In the end, Gall completed a five-yard rushing touchdown. In addition, fullback Bruce Miller also completed two runs."
"The Arizona Cardinals defensive team did not expect this situation at all. The defense lost position continuously. Lu Ke keenly captured this and opened up the situation by running the ball continuously, truly regaining the state of running the ball."
"Now the situation becomes tricky for the Arizona Cardinals. Should they press forward or should they drop back? The run defense performed really poorly in this game, and the pass defense must be prepared. , front-to-back distribution control of the entire defense is becoming more and more difficult.”
"At the end of the first quarter, the score is now '0:14'. The Arizona Cardinals, who are playing at home, are in really bad shape. They need to cheer up in time, otherwise the score gap will get wider and wider, and the second half may enter garbage time; On the other hand, the San Francisco 49ers, who were playing on the road, were taking over the game, without any of the unfamiliarity or formality of playing on the road, and completely dominated the first quarter with an absolutely dominant performance."
"This once again reminds us of the other games of the San Francisco 49ers this season, from the offensive end to the defensive end. Obviously, facing the enemy in the same division, the San Francisco 49ers are ready to fully explode. Is this going to be another one?" How about a big-score massacre? It all depends on the performance of the Arizona Cardinals in the second quarter."
Another touchdown, this was Lu Ke's second response, like a loud slap in the face, once again thrown on the cheeks of the home fans, strangling their throats, turning the noisy sounds into He pulled himself up sparsely, and struck a straight punch with his raised right fist, hitting the home team's vitals accurately.
The oncoming impact was so fierce that the fans at the University of Phoenix Stadium were slightly stunned.
They expected the difficulty of the game, but they did not expect that the process of the game would be far more difficult and dangerous than imagined. They were already behind by "0:14" in the first quarter alone. The absolutely strong performance of the visiting team was taking this game into consideration. In their rhythm, the home team is falling into a point of no return.
Looking at each other, the fans quickly recovered from the blow. This is their territory, how could they allow their opponents to be so arrogant?
Cheers and shouts resounded through the sky again. This time, it was not to attack the San Francisco 49ers' offense, but to support the Arizona Cardinals' offense. The game had just begun. It would be too hasty to draw conclusions now. Victory and victory The outcome of the failure is far from being revealed yet!
"Attack! Bang bang!"
"Attack! Bang bang!"
"Attack! Bang bang!"
This is a common basic cheer slogan throughout the league, but the thirty-two teams have performed their own styles. Compared with the San Francisco 49ers, the Arizona Cardinals' cheers are less enthusiastic and more urgent. It was less brisk and more tense, but the mighty sound still stirred up throughout the entire University of Phoenix stadium.
The overwhelming cheers concealed a lingering sharpness. The hostility and rage in their bones could not be vented to the San Francisco 49ers offense for the time being. They were inevitably intertwined with the cheers, revealing a gnashing of teeth. Hatred really heightened the atmosphere of the same-district showdown.
On the court, the Arizona Cardinals offensive team is going all out, trying to break the deadlock of never being able to score. Otherwise, no matter how well the defensive team performs, the two touchdown points difference cannot be made up, and victory is still far away.
Off the field, San Francisco 49ers wide receivers coach John Morton was scolding Michael Crabtree, "Control your emotions, or you will be off the field immediately!" Then, Morton didn't listen to Crabtree's explanation at all and turned to He turned around and left.
Crabtree kicked the turf hard, but the negative emotions suppressed in his chest were not relieved at all.
It wasn't that Crabtree and Lu Ke had a conflict, or that Crabtree had a conflict with other teammates; it was that in the first quarter of the game, Crabtree seemed very impatient, and all his running and counterattacks They all revealed a sense of eagerness and anger, but haste makes waste, and his eagerness actually lost his advantage.
In the first quarter alone, Crabtree committed two yellow flag fouls, both of which ended in minor conflicts with opposing defensive players. His words and actions were as dangerous as dancing on a tightrope.
The entire coaching staff could feel Crabtree's instability. Coupled with the downturn in the past two games, Morton had to issue a warning in advance, hoping that Crabtree could complete the adjustment in time. If he waited until then, the good situation would be ruined. If you try to remedy the situation when the time comes, it will be too late.
