From the first game of the preseason to the last game of the Super Bowl, the entire season will last more than six months. It is long and arduous. It is not an easy task for any team to have the last laugh. .
On this road, they will encounter countless thorns and bumps, they will encounter countless difficulties and crises, and similarly, they will also encounter countless ups and downs and variables. Only all the teammates of the entire team will fight side by side and overcome All in order to stand on the championship podium.
That's why championships are so rare.
Now, Lu Ke is ready to put down his burdens, go all out, and enjoy the second championship season of his career. Who knows? Maybe they can actually work miracles.
When Jim Harper finished the press conference, he returned to the locker room and saw the grand scene of the collective train. He turned to look at the other members of his coaching staff in confusion, "I missed it." What? What happened at the press conference just now?"
In fact, Hubble was also asked about the undefeated season, but his answer was much tougher and more confident than Lu Ke, "We will discuss this issue after we defeat the New Orleans Saints."
Firstly, this is the opponent in the next game; secondly, Drew Brees' energy can never be underestimated.
And the confidence hidden behind the words is that if they beat the Saints, then the team will have the confidence to compete for a winning season - in the other five games in the remaining six weeks, in addition to the three games against the rivals in the same division. , and the other two opponents are the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots. In this way, Hubble's words become more meaningful.
The same problem was not a problem at all in Hubble's view. He did not consider Lu Ke's concerns at all. Now that I see the grand scene in the locker room, I am naturally puzzled.
"Maybe they're just celebrating ten wins?" Craig Roman said uncertainly, "because we're one step closer to the playoffs?"
Kip Kleist is more concerned, "Maybe young people's hormones have exploded. Just look at Aldon and Marcus, two guys whose blood is boiling. They are not allowed to drink or party. They can only tear up their voices." He patted Hubble and Roman on the shoulders, "Let's go, we still don't want to go in, unless you also want to dance."
Before the words were spoken, Hubble had already begun to retreat. In terms of escape speed and skills, Hubble could definitely be among the best among the coaching staff.
Kip and Roman also started to back away. After taking only a few steps, Kip showed a confused expression, "Hey, why do I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it? That song they sang That song always feels a little weird.”
"I don't know, you actually sing too?" Roman didn't pay attention, and the joke went off the rails. Then they started chattering about the problem of singing voice and five notes, and Kip was distracted.
So the coaches retreated and the players continued to party.
…
The carnival of loud singing is finally over, but the celebration of laughter has never ended. Even when changing and bathing, even when relaxing and getting a massage, all the players are still chatting happily, and the locker room is always filled with a cheerful and cheerful atmosphere. An atmosphere of joy.
Even Lu Ke is no exception.
Sitting in the ice bath, Lu Ke couldn't help but joke with Boon next to him, "If Aldon comes to take an ice bath now, the ice cubes will probably melt faster, the beast's blood will boil, and he will be a complete beast. Blood boils.”
This caused Boone and other teammates to laugh wildly.
Finally, the excitement gradually calmed down, and Lu Ke had time to test the results of this game.
In fact, before the official start of the game, the game tasks and special tasks vaguely pointed out a direction, but during the actual game, the intensity and difficulty of the confrontation were still beyond imagination, which also made Lu Ke more deeply aware of Yes, the system is not omnipotent——
Because both sides on the court are human beings, each person is an uncertain factor. The twenty-two players present during the match between the two sides are twenty-two uncertain factors, which also makes the game have countless potential possibilities. In the direction, all the system can provide is a directional guidance. In actual operation, Lu Ke still needs to complete the game himself.
"Competition tasks:
Complete a touchdown pass in an official game; mission requirements: None; mission reward: base points +1 for each touchdown.
Complete the pass in the designated area during the first half of the game; task requirements: the usage rate of passing in the left and right areas must reach 40% or above; task reward: basic point +1.
Effectively control passing errors in the first half of the game; task requirements: the number of interceptions is less than or equal to two; task reward: base point +1.
Effectively control the balance of passing and running in the first half of the game; task requirements: the running ratio must be equal to or greater than 20%; task reward: basic point +1.
Effectively control the game time in the fourth quarter; mission requirements: each wave of attacks must complete at least one or more first attack conversions; mission reward: base point +1.
Win the official game; mission requirements: none; mission reward: base points +3. "
The above are all the game tasks. It can be seen that the system emphasizes offensive tactics on the left and right wings, and the middle area is a trap; achieving a frontal breakthrough from the direction of the two top cornerbacks is the way to win the game, otherwise Just targeting the open pass in the middle zone will not only fall into the Chicago Bears' defensive trap, but the offensive tactics will become increasingly constrained and unable to open up the situation.
But at the same time, in the offensive tactics of the left and right wings, it is still necessary to effectively reduce mistakes and use running ball to share the pressure of passing. Naturally, running the ball can win more gaps for advancement in the central zone. Of course, the premise is, The offensive line can complete its own lane-opening task.
Finally, in the fourth quarter of the game, touchdowns or free kicks are not the focus, but reducing mistakes is. Use a steady attack to consume the game time and avoid constantly challenging risky passes like in the rookie season. The whole game has ups and downs, but it is exciting. , but the audience's heart must also withstand more tests.
In addition to the game tasks, there is also a special task that pops up before the game officially starts.
“Special Assignment: A head-to-head matchup of the league’s best.
Mission Statement: Charles Tillman is the only defensive player in the league to win the Best of the Week twice so far in the 2012 season. He is also a cornerback, a position where he interacts with the wide receivers and competes head-on with the quarterback.
This season, Charles Tillman has defeated the No. 1 draft pick quarterbacks of the past four years in a row, and his confidence is at its peak; this week against last year's best rookie in the league - the host, Tillman is ready Completely prepared and committed to becoming the dominant cornerback that every quarterback in the league fears, intercepting all passes in his direction.
In the past ten weeks, the average rating of quarterbacks passing towards Tillman was only 56.6, the lowest in the league. In other words, he is currently the league's No. 1 cornerback. This battle can be lost for the team. , because the quarterback can still find other passing spaces; but for the players, it is a challenge about confidence and strength. So, is the host avoiding its edge? Or go against the wind?
Task requirements: Break through Tillman's defense twice or more to complete the pass; complete a touchdown from Tillman's defensive side one or more times.
Mission reward: +1 for individual training packages for the quarterback of your choice, +1 for individual training packages for your team.
Failure penalty: This week's daily training will be strengthened by 100%, and the chance of media harassment in private life will be increased by 50%. "
Regarding the special mission itself, Lu Ke had no objections. Although Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher are the biggest stars of the Chicago Bears' defense, Charles Tillman is the top player in the most outstanding condition this season, and he is still going head-to-head with the quarterback. Maimang's cornerback, this is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed——
Even if Tillman is given up, Jennings on the other side is still a tough nut to crack.
As the system says, for the team, Lu Ke can choose tactics such as intermediate passes, deep long passes, running ball advancement, quick short passes, etc. to open up the situation and avoid Jennings and Tillman as much as possible. The cornerback's sharpness can still win the game; but for Lu Ke himself, this is also a severe challenge between the quarterback and the cornerback.
Lu Ke had no reason to give up.
Even if there is no failure penalty, Lu Ke will choose to face the difficulties. Only by challenging the limit can he break through the limit; but it is undeniable that the existence of failure penalty deepens Lu Ke's determination to complete the task.
Putting aside the doubling of training intensity, the latter alone "increased the probability of media harassment in private life by 50%", which was enough to make Lu Ke choke on his own saliva.
Apparently, the system's mischief has occurred again:
Because Lu Ke and Candice have confirmed their relationship, the possibility of media exposure has skyrocketed. Once exposed, you can now imagine the scene of paparazzi surrounding Lu Ke's apartment. This will not only disrupt Lu Ke's daily training rhythm will also distract other teammates on the team, and may even affect the lives of Candice, Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning.
Lu Ke didn't want to take risks.
Therefore, special tasks must be completed.
When the special mission appeared, Lu Ke couldn't believe his eyes. He instantly remembered the almost parody-like punishment for failure in the special mission in the rookie training camp, such as blushing for thirty seconds and shouting " "Logan is a handsome guy" and so on, every failure punishment has a shameful attribute, which is simply unbearable to look back on.
"Xiao Qi, to be honest, are you single?" This was Lu Ke's only thought. What could be more reasonable than this explanation?
