The celebration is still going on; but surprisingly, there is no fanaticism or wantonness as imagined.
The away victory over the New England Patriots can be said to be the most important and difficult victory for the San Francisco 49ers this season. Logically speaking, no matter how you celebrate, it is reasonable; but in fact, the celebration in the locker room It is indeed ongoing, but it lacks the selfless madness that was expected.
The low period in the past few weeks can actually be regarded as a cooling-off period, allowing this team time to calm down, re-examine themselves, and re-adjust their goals. A winning season? This is a rare achievement, even a coveted historical achievement; but the Super Bowl is their goal.
Beating the New England Patriots is an incredibly difficult game, but it shouldn't be the most important accomplishment of the season. They can celebrate it, but they don't need to revel in it.
Starting from a young and energetic team, relying only on a sense of vigor, some talent and a sense of novelty, it has gained a foothold in the professional league; to a team with a complete style, forming its own playing style and establishing its own Confidence in the game to win a place in the fierce competition; until a team with a mature system has its own unique temperament, it can truly become a top team.
This is an extremely long and arduous process.
The current San Francisco 49ers can only be regarded as entering the second stage, but the important thing is that they are still making progress.
However, a victory is a victory, a celebration is a celebration, and a party is a party. At the end of the season, when they were physically and mentally exhausted, in the dilemma of ups and downs caused by problems in the locker room, and in the desperate situation of losing a clean sheet in the first half, they defeated the new team. The English patriots have won this victory. At least, they can cheer and celebrate today.
Until the coaching staff entered the locker room, Jim Harper and other coaches shouted loudly, "If you should take an ice bath, go to the ice bath, if you should get a massage, get a massage, and do whatever you need to do." All the players then They dispersed like birds and beasts, laughing loudly, and the celebration party has finally come to an end.
Lu Ke came to his locker, opened it, and rummaged through his equipment bag. Before heading to the shower, he rummaged through his cell phone and found a lot of unread messages in it, all celebrating victory. After flipping through the text messages, you can see a series of familiar and unfamiliar names.
At the beginning, Lu Ke responded seriously, expressing his gratitude one by one; but later he realized that this was too stupid, because it was almost impossible - for example, now, the number of unread messages has exceeded There are a hundred of them, so even a batch reply is not necessary.
It is worth noting that this is Lu Ke's private mobile phone number. It is not given to others casually, otherwise the number of unread messages will definitely be more than this.
Among the news, Lu Ke saw the news from Candice Swanepoel, "You did it!"
A unique celebration text message, a simple sentence without any unnecessary words, but filled with unwavering trust.
In the past few weeks, although Lu Ke did not speak out, Candice could feel his tension and impatience. She did not make a fuss, but always supported Lu Ke silently, sending an email every day to report on herself. Lu Ke didn't need to reply to the trivial matters in life. He just wrote down his daily life bit by bit in the email, as if she and him were still living together, which invisibly allowed Lu Ke to relax a little.
She has never questioned Lu Ke's ability. The only time she mentioned it was after overtime against the St. Louis Rams, when she said: Bambi, you have to believe in yourself. Because I always believe in you, even if everyone doubts you, I believe you can do it. Just like this game.
She was always on his side.
The curve of the corner of his mouth could not help but rise slightly. Lu Ke picked up the phone, replied with a brief sentence, and then quickly scrolled down again. When he noticed the unfamiliar name, his finger movements couldn't help but stop. After thinking seriously for a moment, he still couldn't find the answer:
Why did Emma Watson text him?
Lu Ke thought about it for a moment before awakening his memory.
Previously, Lu Ke and Emma participated in the recording of a talk show together. In order to facilitate contact, the program team took the initiative to exchange their communication methods, but that was all. Lu Ke saved Emma's phone number, but never contacted her privately. There were no text messages or phone calls. He even forgot that he had Emma's contact information until now.
"Congratulations! Beautiful victory!"
Emma wrote this in the text message without much additional remarks. Lu Ke hesitated: Should he respond politely?
The problem is that they are not friends, just colleagues, and even the work is only one-time. How should he respond more appropriately?
Thinking back to the several unpleasant encounters they had in the past, now that the other party has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, whether it is a social greeting or not, he should be polite and show his demeanor as a country of etiquette, so he also raised his hand and responded. . In order to avoid causing more misunderstandings and disputes, it is best to keep your reply as concise as possible.
After browsing all the text messages, Lu Ke finally opened the address book and found a name. From the beginning, he was specifically looking for his cell phone, hoping to send a text message before entering recovery treatment. After finding the target, he edited the text message, clicked send, and put the phone into the locker again, and then Lu Ke was ready to start Relaxed after the game.
…
San Francisco General Hospital.
The common room was full of joy, and everyone was cheering and celebrating. Some people couldn't cheer as much as they wanted, so they knocked on the table with their hands, making a clanging sound, and joined the party. It’s hard to imagine that winning a football game is even more effective than ten hours of therapy with a psychiatrist.
Professional rehabilitation therapist Kate Wiggins stood at the door of the lounge, showing a helpless expression and shaking her head slightly. She really couldn't understand this at all, but... people who like rugby So many, maybe there is always a reason, but she just doesn't care.
Generally speaking, the number of female rehabilitation practitioners is still relatively small, because there is a lot of strength training in the rehabilitation process, and many patients are unable to exert force at all, or even stand firmly, and it is very likely that the weight of the entire body will collapse. , which undoubtedly puts more pressure on women.
But in fact, female rehabilitation practitioners still exist, not just for female patients. Sometimes, male patients with relatively mild conditions are also given the responsibility of female rehabilitation practitioners. The arrangement is mainly based on the specific situation of each patient.
Previously, Ryan Baldwin's rehabilitation had always been handled by another male rehabilitation therapist. However, Ryan's situation was special. He was not completely paralyzed, but rather the failure of his muscle function could not be stopped. Therefore, Ryan's rehabilitation exercises are also different. In addition to daily walking and standing, there are also auxiliary exercises such as holding a pen, writing, drawing, and reading. It also requires better communication and adjustment.
A month ago, Kate took over Ryan's case from a colleague and began to take charge of Ryan's daily rehabilitation work. Who knew that rugby games would now be part of her job?
After waiting and waiting, but the celebration party seemed to have no end in sight, Kate finally couldn't wait any longer and came to Ryan, "Ryan, we have agreed that we will start rehabilitation after the game." . Now, the time for recovery begins."
Ryan still had a bright smile on his face and cheered loudly, "Kate! We won! We won!"
"Yes, yes, I know." Kate said helplessly, "But today's rehabilitation must still be completed."
"Of course! Of course!" Ryan didn't mind, and nodded cheerfully in affirmation, "Let's go now!" At this moment, the mobile phone in his arms vibrated, and Ryan gestured to Kate, "Mobile phone, I Just look at the phone, it’s quick, ten seconds… no, no, just five seconds.”
Kate didn't stop Ryan.
For amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, it is very important to keep the muscles active as much as possible in daily life. If Ryan is willing to play with his mobile phone and send text messages, this can also be regarded as a kind of rehabilitation, just like writing a handwritten diary. Same.
Ryan turned on his phone and saw a text message from Lu Ke, "I'm keeping my promise. How about it? Are you ready?"
"Ha!" Involuntarily, Ryan laughed happily, closed the phone, and raised his head to look at Kate, "Now, I'm ready, we can start today's rehabilitation."
"What, don't you need to reply to the text message?" Kate asked curiously, and the two of them walked towards the rehabilitation room just like this.
…
Emma Watson is upset. Or in other words, regret.
She couldn't believe herself. She actually sent the text message in a flash. It was really stupid for such a little girl to act so proactively and naively!
Now, even she couldn't tell clearly whether she expected Lu Ke to reply to the text message or not to reply. The conflicting and anxious mood could not be described in words. Various thoughts began to sprout in her mind, and the more she thought about it, The more complicated and exciting I thought about it, the more I couldn't sit still. I simply stood up and walked back and forth in the room, like ants on a hot pot.
"Ding dong", the sound of a text message arriving sounded.
All Emma's movements froze immediately, and she subconsciously wanted to pick up the phone, but then she thought about it and felt that she couldn't be too excited, otherwise it would appear to be worthless. So, she stood there, adjusted her breathing, and counted ten seconds in her mind. Then she walked to the bed, picked up her phone and started reading the text messages.
"Thanks."
What?
Emma could hardly believe her eyes. There were only two such short words? "Thanks"? This... what kind of reply is this?
She had just been worrying about it for thirty minutes, and finally got such a reply?
