Before joining, Lu Ke's best friends were Logan Newman and then Marcus Lynch. After joining the team, the UCLA Iron Triangle is still his best partner. After all, this youthful friendship is different. , but apart from that, Lu Ke’s strong friendship with Goodwin, Rupati and others is irreplaceable, especially on the court.
Not only are the offensive linemen's internal tactical meetings a weekly fixture, but their personal interactions outside the game are also relatively frequent.
During the offseason, Lu Ke went to Magic City to participate in activities and brought gifts to each of his offensive linemates; before the start of the preseason, Lu Ke invited his offensive linemates to go to Palm Springs for a hot spring vacation. Their own internal small training camp; before the start of the new season, Lu Ke also bought projectors and tablets for each of his offensive linemates——
For Lu Ke, who is still executing his second-year rookie contract, this is definitely a big expense, and he had not yet signed with Rolex at the time.
At that time, other friends on the team complained one after another, not because they were envious of the offensive linemen getting gifts, but because, "Even if the gifts are related to training, this is definitely a conspiracy of a training maniac."
Everyone cast sympathetic glances at the offensive line members. During that period, everyone teased the offensive line every day, "Did you practice today?" "Did Bambi fuck you hard again?" ?”
The gifts that other quarterbacks gave to the offensive linemen were luxury goods such as designer bags or watches, but Lu Ke chose a projector and tablet computer, which is definitely a unique style. Therefore, when Baldwin was talking just now, everyone started to cheer and started to make complaints blatantly.
In addition, in August, during the preseason, Rupadi's first son was born, and all the offensive linemen gathered together to attend the little guy's christening. This was a private party, and Rupadi only invited the offensive linemen and did not extend invitations to other teammates.
Today, all the offensive linemen gathered together again for Lu Ke's birthday.
A unique and irreplaceable special party, a secret party between quarterbacks and offensive linemen.
Those words of thanks kept swirling on Lu Ke's lips, but he knew that the words were still too pale, not enough to express the true emotions in his heart, nor enough to carry the friendship between them.
This season, Lu Ke has a clean pocket protection, and the number of sacks he has encountered has not yet reached double figures. All the credit comes from the friends in front of him. After a season and a half of running in, they finally found their own Rhythm. Behind Lu Ke's outstanding performance in every game, the offensive line is the eternal unsung hero.
So, Lu Ke showed a big smile and said meaningfully, "So, are you sure this is a party for offensive linemen? In order to create surprises, you used honest Mike and irritable Michael; in order to create suspense , you made up a lie to deceive me; to achieve the effect, you also ruined my important date tonight? Huh?"
Originally, the friends on the offensive line were still nodding their heads and proudly showing off their great achievements. It was really rare to successfully deceive Lu Ke. This "prank" was enough to make them proud among the team. It's been a while.
But gradually, gradually, as Lu Ke's words deepened, everyone's faces began to darken and stiffen. How could they forget? Among the team, Lu Ke is an Iron Man who has experienced countless pranks. Everyone knows the reputation of Bloody Bambi. Now that he has offended Bambi, from now on...
Thinking of this, everyone became embarrassed and embarrassed as they looked at each other, and their eyesight began to flicker vaguely. Before the elation and elation could reach its highest point, they fell into a rainy depression again. middle.
Dating?
Rupati seemed to have caught the meaning behind this word, and immediately lowered his head, fearing that his eyes would come into contact with Lu Ke, and then his inner surprise and astonishment would be revealed.
The bar suddenly fell silent.
Under Lu Ke's gaze, everyone shifted their gaze, just like rebellious students being taught a lesson in the principal's office. Although their heads were lowered, everyone still exchanged glances quietly. Stanley was the first to shout, "Come on!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone rushed towards Lu Ke in a swarm.
The offensive linemen are a group of burly, super strong men. Compared with them, Lu Ke is just a little lamb, with no ability to resist at all. What's more, now they are one against nine, and Lu Ke, who is at an absolute disadvantage, knows the current situation. Being a hero, he simply gave up resistance, stayed where he was, and then started the activity of stacking Arhats.
"Are you still trying to reason with us?"
“We’re throwing a party for you and you’re still picking and choosing?”
"Let us teach you a lesson!"
"What did you just say? Huh? We didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."
"Brothers, together!"
"Let Bambi know how powerful we are!"
During the usual tactical training, this group of offensive linemen was suppressed very fiercely by Lu Ke. The tactical manual was learned over and over again, what blocking position, what positioning, what confrontation, what movement, all tactics. The details of the combination are very tight. After a season and an offseason of adjustments, they finally found some methods——
The role of the offensive line coach is irreplaceable, but outside of coaching, the role of communication between the quarterback and the offensive line is reflected here.
Now, they finally found an opportunity to retaliate, so how could they miss it so easily?
I don’t know who was the first, but the result was that someone smeared the cake cream on Lu Ke’s face, and then things started to get out of control. The neck and cheeks were still small things, and even the underwear was not serious. What was really cruel was that someone used cream to wash Lu Ke's hair.
"You're dead!" Lu Ke gritted his teeth, found a hole, and escaped from the crowd. Then he grabbed the cake and launched a counterattack. The entire bar fell into a melee, and no one was excepted. It was completely unimaginable to see how messy it was, and it had just begun and it had already turned into a battlefield.
After all the cakes were smashed, everyone looked at each other's embarrassment, with cakes and cream all in their nostrils, mouths, and ears. They looked like children who hadn't grown up yet. They turned to look at each other and burst into laughter.
"Fernando! Hey, Fernando!" Goodwin came to the bar and kept knocking on the table of the bar, calling repeatedly.
Fernando-Gonzalez, the bar owner of the "Alley of Lima", had already hid under the bar before the melee started. He looked up at the shells flying in front of him and heard the call. Just then he quietly poked his head out, and then Goodwin smashed a piece of cake down without hesitation, and Fernando's dreadlocked hairstyle suddenly became worthy of the name.
"Do you know that this hairstyle cost me eighty dollars, eighty! And, I did it there for five hours! God! You are crazy! How am I going to wash my hair now?" Fernando roared through gritted teeth.
But Goodwin didn't care at all and said with a smile, "Baseball bat, come on, baseball bat!"
Fernando complained, but he still handed over the baseball bat next to him, and Goodwin took it, "Are you sure you don't want to come and participate? This is a very, very rare opportunity. I don't think Bambi will agree to this in the future." party.”
With that, Goodwin raised his baseball bat and said, "Come on, our birthday baby is going to hit the piñata now!"
Instantly, everyone started cheering, "Bambi! Bambi! Bambi!"
Fernando also stood up and couldn't wait to take out his camera to record this precious moment.
Lu Ke looked at the golden baseball bat with a speechless smile on his face, "Are you serious? Pinata? Isn't that a game only played by eight-year-old children?"
"Honestly, have you ever played?" Goodwin's rhetorical question stuck Lu Ke: Obviously, he hadn't. "That's right. There was no chance before, or there was no such custom. Now, you finally have the opportunity to try it. Just treat it as the first and last time."
Stanley also came over with a smile on his face, "What's more, this is the Super Bowl trophy. Are you sure you don't want to add a little luck to our team?"
Lu Ke chuckled, took the baseball bat from Goodwin, and shouted loudly, "Be careful, weapons are coming." He even waved it twice with a huff and a wave. The demonstration meaning could not be clearer. In an instant, Everyone retreated, and their frightened expressions made Lu Ke laugh happily.
Holding the baseball bat with both hands, he was like a real professional baseball player - he had never played baseball, but at least he had seen a baseball game. Lu Ke still knew some basic knowledge. After making a good posture, the strength of his arms was poured into it, and he exerted force Swing it out and flick it with the power of your wrist. The power of the whip will explode to the extreme and hit it hard.
Once, again, and again.
In just three blows, the entire piñata was torn into pieces, and all the "candy" inside fell down. Amidst the cheers of "Bambi is mighty", Lu Ke saw the true face of the "candy". Is it full of Du/Lei/Si?
Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed again, "Just in time, last year's portion has been used up, and now it's just time to replenish it, so I don't need to make a special trip. However, it seems that you haven't prepared enough. This is me A week's worth, you are really too stingy, didn't you just say that your salary will be raised next?"
Seeing the self-proclaimed Lu Ke, boos broke out all over the place. Everyone started to complain, but before they could spread, they all shut up because... Lu Ke waved the baseball bat in his hand.
