"So...can I leave now?"
Lu Ke was still like a good student. He straightened his back, opened his chest, and looked straight. He sat upright behind the press conference table and looked at the dense crowd of reporters in front of him with a smile. He didn't panic. An unhurried, calm demeanor, without any nervousness or timidity even in the face of what may well be one of the biggest press conferences in NFL history.
Looking at the reporters in front of them, they were restless and impatient. It was as if everyone's seat cushions had been transformed into hedgehogs under the magic of Harry Potter. Almost no one could sit still and calmly. In the back-and-forth confrontation, they fell slightly downward, as if they were the one at a disadvantage, completely lacking the calmness and calmness of the uncrowned king.
The Q&A session has reached a dead end.
Over and over again, all the questions were familiar, and all the attacks and probings had no effect at all. Lu Ke's defense was watertight, and his inadvertent counterattacks left the reporters speechless and helpless.
Of course, reporters can complain that the brand sponsorship press conference lacks gimmicks and highlights, and all entry points are quite satisfactory and lackluster. Their attack space is very limited: racial topics cannot be mentioned, losing topics are mentioned too much, and championship topics are too direct. Bai, the qualification issue is also sensitive, which means that their hands and feet are tied and they cannot start at all.
But reporters know full well that these are all excuses.
"If I remember correctly, I have already answered this question twice. If this reporter missed the key points because the press conference was too boring, I think there is no need for me to answer it again, because The answer is still the same boring thing.”
This was Lu Ke's answer to the question he just faced. It was not an angry or aggressive way, but a relaxed, comfortable, and smiling way. He was ridiculing, joking, and self-deprecating. It was sarcasm again, which put the reporters in an awkward position.
After a moment of silence, Lu Ke showed a polite and decent smile and said what he just said, "So..." He paused deliberately for a long time, as if a high school student was cunning and clever when he was about to leave the table. He looked at his parents and said, "Can I leave now?"
It's really a good deal to get a bargain.
It was clear that Lu Ke had the overall upper hand, but he deliberately acted cautious at this time. The reporters on the scene were really confused, dumbfounded, but at the same time speechless.
Then, Lu Ke bowed politely, expressed his thanks in a thorough etiquette, waved, then turned and left, handing the stage over to Seacrest and Wolfgang again, ending all his tasks for the day. .
Seacrest, who once again attracted the attention of reporters, watched Lu Ke leave, "Well, I'm not sure if this is my personal illusion, but for me personally, Lu Ke reminds me of Roger Federer. "
"Ha." Wolfgang couldn't help but chuckle.
Seacrest cast an inquiring gaze inexplicably, but Wolfgang repeatedly waved his hands to deny it without explaining. Seacrest did not press further and returned to his work. "Of course, Federer has become one of the greatest tennis players in history. Now, the road left for Lu Ke is still very, very long, but what is certain is that from today on, Rolex will accompany Lu Ke to continue to write. Their story."
For Rolex, this is a story.
For rugby, this is a piece of history.
For the first official cooperation between the world's top watch brands and the four major sports leagues, Rolex chose Lu Ke.
Not Tom Brady, not Aaron Rodgers, not Peyton Manning, not Drew Brees, not even Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III, not one of the star-studded, star-studded NFL leagues. One of the superstars was sophomore Lu Ke.
More importantly, it is not official from the league. Rolex chose to cooperate with Lu Ke instead of the alliance. This step is firm and sensational, bold and crazy.
This is not only unprecedented, but also absolutely blockbuster!
Before this, people talked a lot about the market value of Lu Ke, but all of them were just speculations and estimates, which were not accurate at all. Until today, Rolex has proven their confidence to the world with practical actions and has no hesitation. Lu Ke was roped into Superstar with a four-year long-term contract.
After this, Lu Ke's market value will be immeasurable!
For ordinary professional athletes, their performance on the court will determine their career, and their added value will determine their market value. What is certain is that competitive performance and sports results are important criteria; but for special athletes, such a basic system But it may not be applicable.
Take the NBA as an example. Yao Ming and Barter, the former does not have a championship ring, and the latter has a championship ring, but in terms of market value, the former is far ahead.
Of course, the NBA and NFL are completely different, so this analogy may not be completely correct. However, it can at least be demonstrated that special circumstances must be treated specially. Lu Ke is in such a special situation.
After having an unsurpassable rookie season, and a second-year half-season championship season comparable to MVP level, Lu Ke has proven that he is by no means a fleeting meteor. This is a landmark of the times. Meaningful, in the future, regardless of performance and results, he will be the absolute benchmark for Asian players in the NFL.
This alone is enough to ensure Lu Ke's market value.
What's more, if Lu Ke's performance and achievements on the field will further improve, then the market value will inevitably rise, which is what Rolex values.
In other words, this is the starting point of a history.
After the press conference ended - to be precise, the press conference was still in progress, the news could not wait to be exposed on Twitter, and the entire league was in a state of shock, regardless of whether it was Lu Ke's friend or not. , regardless of whether he was an enemy of the San Francisco 49ers, all eyes were focused on him.
The news is as sensational as the quarterback contracts that have been hitting record highs during the offseason, and it's even better. In less than an hour, the keyword "Rolex/Luke" has swept across the entire social network platform and search engine website. It is definitely the most popular endorsement contract in history.
Following his consecutive outstanding performances in Thursday night games and Monday night games, Lu Ke once again grabbed the spotlight with off-court topics. Everyone was discussing the incredibleness of this Rolex endorsement contract, and everyone was marveling at Lu Ke's success. The incredible upward curve is the highest in the history of the league. Even Kurt Warner was inferior to it.
After Kurt Warner was born, he was hampered by injuries and unfortunately could not go further and create his own dynasty; so, what about Lu Ke now? What will his future be like?
At least what is certain is that, step by step, Lu Ke is steadily showing his superstar temperament.
When Seacrest and Wolfgang left the stage and officially announced the end of today's press conference, Jay couldn't help but shook his head, turned around, and was about to complain to his colleagues, and then he saw something extremely strange. scene of:
All pairs of eyes were projected towards Jay. The red eyes were like wild wolves all over the mountains and plains, all aiming at the only prey, the innocent white lamb, with its slightly open bloody mouth. His mouth was watering and he seemed to be ready to enjoy his dinner.
The hairs all over Jay's body stood on end and he couldn't help but swallowed.
"Uh... uh..." Jay tried to explain, but his words began to stutter, and he couldn't explain clearly for a while.
"Tell me, did you already know this?"
Jay shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, no, really, I really don't know." He had used his whole body to express his denial, but it seemed that it was still not enough. The aggressive momentum was not retreating but advancing. They swarmed over one by one, almost suffocating.
"Liar! When you were interviewed at Candlestick Stadium, you got an exclusive interview with Bambi without any hesitation."
"That's right. If I remember correctly, you and Bambi are schoolmates, right?"
"How did I hear that he was still a roommate? He, Bambi and Logan are all roommates."
"That's right, Bambi must have revealed something."
"To be so secretive, not willing to say a word."
"Report to the Uncrowned King, there is a traitor among us."
More and more people, not just colleagues from the "Los Angeles Times", but other sports reporters around them rushed over immediately. Apparently everyone thought together: That guy Jay Fox must know something inside. , can’t miss it, definitely can’t miss it so easily.
As a result, everyone began to gather in the bustling place, and with the onlookers who came to join in the fun, the scene became even more exaggerated. Jay was completely surrounded by three layers inside and three outside. This was no longer "three halls". Instead of "a joint trial", it was a "Hundred-Tang Judicial Trial". Just a sharp and burning gaze was enough to kill Jay.
Waving hands and shaking head. Jay was trying hard to prove his innocence, but those aggressive momentum didn't give him much room at all, which made Jay cry out: Damn Bambi! What a careless friend! He decided that from today on, he and Bambi would officially break off their relationship, yes, break off their relationship!
"Break off the relationship!"
…
Three hours later, like a wandering beggar, Jay quietly took out his mobile phone and secretly sent a text message to that familiar number:
You owe me an interview. You know! Otherwise, I will sell the photos of you doing yoga splits to tmz! Did you hear that? ah! Did you hear that! Wow wow wow, I really made a careless friend, someone just tore my clothes! My butt hurts so much, my arms hurt so much, my hair is about to be pulled out, shit, I don’t want to be bald!
