Because football has a clear division of labor and clear functions, even though it is a complete team, there are still some differences within the team: the offensive team and the defensive team are different; within the offensive team, the quarterback team There is a difference between the receiving team and the offensive line, and there is a difference between the wide receivers, tight ends and running backs.
Now, facing the situation of Randy Moss, as the quarterback, Lu Ke has completed his own work; the next thing needs to be solved by their small group.
Both Logan and Marcus followed Lu Ke's gaze and looked over, but Marcus's expression was slightly hesitant, "Are you sure? He has never wanted to have more interactions with us."
"No, I'm not sure." Lu Ke said bluntly, "But... I thought that today might be a breakthrough."
Now that the anger has subsided, Lu Ke began to calmly think about the ins and outs of the matter. He once again recalled what happened in the locker room just now. It was still a disaster; but maybe, they can seize this disaster and use the "praising strategy" The future troubles were completely solved or even eliminated, and began to pave the way for the playoffs and even the Super Bowl.
After all, as the saying goes, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of a sword comes from sharpening.
Whether this disaster is the beginning of destruction or a turning point in reversing the situation, who can know without trying hard to see?
Of course, just "maybe." What Lu Ke needs to do now is to turn a "maybe" into a "definitely".
Logan and Marcus exchanged glances, and Logan immediately clenched his fists and expressed "loyalty", "No problem, we will do our best."
Marcus, who was not yet mentally prepared, widened his eyes and protested to Logan with his mouth: That's Randy Moss!
The famous Moss is as famous as his skills and talents for his bad temper and violent temper. No one in the entire team dares to stroke the tiger's beard easily. Except for Lu Ke, a desperate guy, who dares to ? What's more, a "war" just broke out between Moss and Lu Ke today. If you go to Moss now, isn't it just asking for death?
But Logan's eyes widened, and he also argued with his mouth: Believe in Bambi, we should believe in Bambi!
Lu Ke can always see things that they can't see. The conversation just now revealed too much information about the media, the defensive team, the fans, etc. They can't see the whole situation, but Lu Ke Ke Ke could see it; what's more, Logan had just made a big mistake today, and if he didn't make up for it in time, he would die miserably in the future.
For Logan, he would rather face Moss than Lu Ke. Moss just had a bad temper, and at worst he would fight with his fists; but Lu Ke... maybe he didn't even know how he died.
"What's wrong? Have any questions?" Lu Ke noticed that Marcus and Logan were exchanging glances, so he asked.
"No, no, no, no." Marcus waved his hands repeatedly, "No problem, I think there is no problem. I just told Logan that we would go find Ted right away and see how the matter is resolved. Then... Michael and Where's Vernon?"
The performance of Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis showed a certain degree of recovery in this game. The direct reason is that Moss took on the role of attracting firepower. The next week's game must also be in this offensive mode, so, Moss is the key, Crabtree and Vernon don't have to worry for the time being.
"Leave it to me." Lu Ke said simply.
He knows that locker room problems and mentality problems cannot be solved by simply solving them. Because players are all living people, independent individuals, not data in computer games. After modifying the numbers, they can be restored immediately; after all, they still need time, communication, and reconciliation.
Lu Ke didn't know when it would be solved, or even whether it could be solved, but now there was no turning back, he could only take one step at a time. I originally expected that Randy Moss, who experienced the New England Patriots' undefeated season in 2007, could be the key to solving the problem, but now it seems that he can only rely on Lu Ke himself.
…
After that, the entire team bus was quiet, not just the offensive team and special team buses, but also the defensive team bus and the coaching staff bus.
Kip Kleist walked back dejectedly, shook his head at offensive coach Craig Roman, defensive coach Vic Fangio and others, and sat down heavily on his butt.
Facing the looks of his colleagues, Kip raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks hard, and said in confusion, "He said don't worry, rugby players have excess hormones, and it doesn't matter if they vent." After he said it, Kip still felt incredible and marveled again and again, "How is it possible? How can this not be related? What on earth happened to him?"
What happened in the visiting team's locker room was quickly known to everyone in the team. This was the most serious chaos in the team in the past two seasons. It could even be described as "internal strife."
This is a thorny problem, this is a difficult problem to solve, everyone knows this clearly, any team in any collective sports project may encounter such a problem; but no matter what, the head coach must still shoulder the responsibility Take on the important task of solving the problem because he is the most suitable person.
Hubble is not good at dealing with locker room issues. This matter is no longer a secret. Just now Kip suggested going to talk to Hubble and ask about the solution. Other colleagues said that they should give Hubble more time. Now he asked Hubble Bo, I guess I won’t get any clear ideas.
But even so, they still didn't expect that Hubble would take them there so lightly.
"It's not that he doesn't want to solve it, but he doesn't know how to solve it." Craig couldn't help but scratch his head.
Kip raised his head, "Was he like this when he was at Stanford?"
Craig Roman and Vic Fangio were both colleagues of Jim Harbaugh when he was at Stanford University. Although they didn't last long, both of them only played for one season in 2010, but the cooperation was very pleasant, so Harbaugh When he joined the San Francisco 49ers, he brought the two of them over as direct relatives.
Craig and Vic exchanged glances, and finally nodded and said in unison, "Yes."
Locker room issues are really not Hubble's strong point. It can even be said to be a shortcoming among shortcomings, because Hubble himself is a fiery and impatient person. Once his temper rises, he can swear more fluently than the players; and he is a friend and foe. They are all on the offensive, picky, troublesome, demanding and egotistical.
Let Hubble handle locker room issues? It's like throwing a big fire into a gas station.
"So what now?" Kip is just a quarterback coach. He once served as the offensive coach of the San Diego Chargers, but it was only for one season. His ability is not to lead the team or coach the tight ends. He is capable of handling individual groups such as , wide receivers or quarterbacks; but with the overall command of the offensive team coach, he is always prone to making mistakes on his own.
Craig let out a breath and said, "We still need to deal with it. Let's talk to the captain for a while to see what's going on in the team, and then we'll meet again." These words were directed at Vick said that since there is a problem between the offensive team and the defensive team, they can only deal with it separately temporarily.
Vic couldn't help but rub his temples, "I think the offensive team basically doesn't have any problems and Bambi will handle it well; but the defensive team's problems are much more troublesome..."
"Both Patrick and Ahmed can solve problems. One is serious and the other is relaxed. If the two of them work together, the problem will be solved. I also think the defensive team's affairs are simpler. Otherwise, let's change it?" Craig said. He complained mercilessly, "Bambi is very good, he is doing everything well, and he is willing to take responsibility, but after all, he is only a second-year student and still lacks experience."
"I think his performance in the locker room today was quite good. He could scold his teammates on both sides as a neutral person and control the situation, but in this way, the morale of the offensive team will be severely damaged, and the morale of the defensive team will be severely damaged. I will also take pleasure in the misfortune. Bambi's handling is not perfect, but it is the most appropriate." Kip still expressed his opinion.
Facing the looks from Craig and Vick, Kip spread his hands and said, "I am always on Lu Ke's side. You see, I won't change anything. Even Alex Smith still remains." Within the team, I don’t think he can do better than Lu Ke.”
"Huh... I hope so." Craig's worry still lingered, weighing heavily on his chest.
…
The atmosphere inside the team is extremely depressing, which can be noticed as soon as you enter the airport.
There was no dispute or riot between the offensive team and the defensive team, but everyone remained silent, and there was no even eye contact. Everyone was standing together, but there was no conversation or communication. It was so low-key. The depressing atmosphere didn't look like they had just won 11 consecutive victories, but more like they were currently losing 11 consecutive games this season.
This dull atmosphere continued on the plane and was never relieved.
It can be said that all the suppressed emotions accumulated throughout the season have burst out; it can even be said that the pressure endured in the past two seasons has been released, and now everyone needs a buffer period.
As for what will happen after the buffer period ends, no one can say for sure.
Being in the high-pressure environment of the airplane, the pressure on the eardrums was rising little by little. Lu Ke felt more and more irritated. He was thinking about how to solve the problem between the offensive team and the defensive team, but after thinking about it, I couldn't find a suitable solution, I was just thinking divergently, and the more I thought about it, the more complex and complicated it became, until my whole head almost exploded.
If possible, Lu Ke didn't want to worry about these things. But obviously, he can't.
In the end, Lu Ke left his seat and walked back and forth in the aisle to relax. Still not having much effect, he simply came to the small open space next to the bathroom, as if he just needed to be in a spacious space. It was as if he could breathe again, and then Lu Ke saw Patrick Willis.
