"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."
I don’t know who was humming the theme song of the 2000 European Cup in the locker room, "Ole-Ole-Ole-We-Are-The-Champions". The catchy melody kept playing in my mind. It echoed, and I hummed it unconsciously, singing loudly while jumping happily, and I felt happy as I sang.
Ahmed Brooks couldn't help but complain, "Who? Who is it? This is rugby, not football! Isn't something wrong?"
In an instant, the humming stopped, and all eyes were quickly searching the locker room, looking for the "culprit", but the person involved closed his mouth tightly and tried hard to eliminate his sense of existence. The sudden silence was really weird, and then everyone burst into laughter.
Lu Ke did not join in the cheers, and dialed Logan's cell phone immediately. After just waiting for a short while, the call was connected, and Logan's hearty laughter came from the other end, " Victory! Victory! We won again! Haha!"
Such a cheerful and lively reaction made Lu Ke feel relieved a little, but he still did not joke with Logan, and then asked, "How was the test result?"
"...It's really no fun at all. Next time you tell a joke, I will never give you any reaction." Even if he wasn't standing in front of him, he could still imagine Logan's indifferent eyes in his mind.
But then Logan calmed down his playful smile and said seriously, "With a slight concussion, the situation is not dangerous and nothing serious, but the doctor still recommends taking a rest and then conducting a league concussion test."
"Isn't this serious?" Lu Ke's eyebrows frowned, "Even if it is a mild concussion, you must pay attention to it. Logan, you know that this matter is not a joke."
Logan let out a long sigh, "Bambi, of course I know. Aren't I trying hard to liven up the atmosphere? See how understanding I am. I know you are worried, but I still take the initiative to comfort you? In the next week, I will follow the doctor's instructions He told me to take a good rest and recuperate, and look forward to returning to the competition soon."
The symptoms of concussion itself require sufficient attention, but compared to the disease itself, the sequelae are still more terrifying. The damage to many nerve endings or capillaries in the brain is too weak to be noticed at first, and problems will erupt later. It is like a latent time bomb——
It may break out at any time, but it may never break out.
Now the league is always closely monitoring. If any professional athlete has symptoms of concussion, the entire process will be closely monitored; but more importantly, after recovery and returning to the game, you must still be careful at all times in the future. , any symptoms should not be taken lightly.
As professional players, Logan, like Lu Ke, remains highly vigilant.
Hearing Logan's slightly low voice, Lu Ke took a deep breath to calm down his impatience, "Don't worry, I will accompany you in training and let you keep up with the progress again."
Then Logan's wailing voice came from the other end of the phone: Isn't it?
This made Lu Ke's smile finally bloom again, "Austin and Tiffany, do you need me to inform them? They must be worried now."
"No, I'll call them later. Jack and Annie as well." Logan's heavy heart also relaxed a little. "They sent me a text message before the game was over. However, the live signal at Candlestick Stadium is not good. Great, it took almost an hour to send. I just received it not long ago.”
"Well, are you going to go directly back to your parents' place later? Or go back to the apartment?" Lu Ke also relaxed a little.
"Apartment. My dad must be worried. It's better to stay in the apartment. By the way, remember to bring dinner. You know which fried chicken I like." Logan knew that Lu Ke would definitely come to visit him. If he changed If he was in the same position, he would also go to visit Lu Ke as soon as possible, so he made the request directly without being polite at all.
"Fried chicken? Are you sure?" Lu Ke said in disbelief. Although rugby players have not explicitly banned this type of food, they should still try to control it. After all, it is not healthy. Of course, there are also a small number of black players with outstanding physical talents, and they have never been taboo.
"I'm going to have to rest and adjust for at least two weeks. It's just once. It doesn't matter, right? As for you, you can watch me eat." Logan has already planned it. His favorite fried chicken restaurant does not have takeout. Services must be purchased in store.
"Bambi? Bambi! The press conference is about to begin. Are you sure you don't want to come over soon?"
The call from the side came over. Lu Ke raised his hand to signal, and then simply said, "I'm going to go over for an interview. You have a good rest."
"Remember to praise me, I scored two touchdowns today..." Before Logan could finish his words, the phone was hung up, and there was a beeping busy signal. Logan looked at his phone. , muttering with a depressed look on his face, "I am the biggest contributor, and reporters must be very, very sorry that they cannot appreciate my style!"
…
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ke quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then changed into the clothes he had prepared in advance. Within five minutes, he had already started walking towards the door of the locker room.
The speed is even faster than other teammates who prepared early.
"Hey, wait, Bambi, you're so quick? Isn't it?" Aldon Smith called out to Lu Ke repeatedly, "Now in order to attend the press conference, everyone is spending all their time dressing up. You Haven't you noticed that Mr. Frank Gower has been standing in front of the mirror for fifteen minutes? He has been trimming his temples and hairline with an eyebrow trimmer, and he still hasn't done it yet."
"Hey! I'm taking it seriously! Okay?" Gower began to protest, "The hairline is life for this hairstyle!" Gower's hairstyle is close to a bald head, with only a thin layer of fluff, but The sideburns and hairline are trimmed very smoothly, showing a perfect square shape that only black people can achieve.
But before the protest was over, Gower closed his mouth again, held his breath, and began to trim the little edges he had just seen.
"Don't worry, even if Bambi goes out wearing a tattered vest, the reporters will definitely like it. No, maybe the reporters will like it even more because they can see the flesh." Brooks yelled next to him He teased, causing everyone to burst into laughter, "You'd better stop trying to steal the limelight."
"I...I'm just curious..." Aldon tried to defend, but he couldn't help but stutter while hesitating, which made all the players laugh more and more.
This made the dressed-up Aldon raise his right hand covered with gold rings, clenched his fist, and waved it towards his teammates. Then several gold necklaces hanging around his neck also swayed, expressing himself forcefully. of protest.
"You have your style, and I have mine. We all stick to ourselves, which is good." Lu Ke said with a smile, and then looked Ardon up and down, "Honestly, I don't think I can Live this look of yours.”
Then, Lu Ke left a meaningful expression, turned around and left.
Aldon didn't see it at all. Instead, he pulled up his necklace and made a full-faced expression, "How are you? Are you awesome? Dog!" This is the black street lingo, "Dog", This term can have many different interpretations.
Leave the locker room and enter the press conference center.
The flash suddenly poured down like a waterfall, completely covering Lu Ke, capturing the style of this hot young quarterback:
A sky blue palm leaf patterned shirt, a light gray casual suit jacket, paired with a pair of dark blue ripped jeans and a pair of white canvas shoes are clean and simple yet youthful and energetic.
"Bambi, your outfit today is still so eye-catching, but remember to wear your watch."
The first question was very lighthearted and joking, reminding Lu Ke of the Rolex watch on his right wrist, which made Lu Ke laugh happily, raised his right hand and shook it, "I don't want to go to jail because I forgot to wear a watch. , I think, this should affect my performance on the field."
A small piece of humor successfully made the crowd laugh.
"Bambi, this is really a wonderful game! Facing the Chicago Bears with seven wins and two losses, the team won with an absolute advantage. Congratulations. How do you feel about this game?"
The second question is still quite satisfactory, "The Bears are a very difficult opponent. They have the top defensive team in the league. Obviously, we went all out to win the final victory in this game. It was indeed a tough game." Victory. Fortunately, we still continue the tradition of Candlestick Stadium."
Candlestick Stadium tradition?
"So, are you looking forward to your next trip to Soldier Field and breaking the tradition on that field?"
Lu Ke chuckled, "Of course, if there is a chance. I will cross my fingers and start praying."
"Bambi, congratulations on winning the game. After this victory, it also means that the team has become the first team to win ten games this season. In your rookie season and sophomore season, you have won ten games for two consecutive years. Winning, this is another feat, what are your special thoughts on this? If nothing else, the team can now start to look forward to the playoffs. What is the difference between the mood this year and last year?"
The third problem is still expected. "Thank you. Personally, the victory is worth celebrating, but the playoffs are still very far away. We need to move forward step by step. Let's not talk about other things for the time being. The next opponent will be very difficult and we must not take it lightly. , we look forward to continuing our winning streak.”
"Yes, this is your second consecutive ten-win season. So, have you considered a full-win season this season? Now that the team's offensive end, defensive end and special teams are all among the best in the league, do you think you A chance to replicate the feat of the 2007 New England Patriots?"
The fourth question always feels weird.
