Pass shot.
Lu Ke couldn't help but frowned. The control of his fingertips was still a little insufficient. The passing arc and distance should be about one or two yards longer than expected, and the control of the rotational force was not quite in place. Sure enough, under emotional stress, these technical details were inevitably affected.
But there is no turning back, so now all we can do is count on Logan.
Lu Ke's eyes were fixed on the raised football. The brown-red arc crossed the sky in a mighty way, and then fell into Logan's arms. He watched Logan stumble into it. He entered the end zone and immediately cast his gaze towards the referee. Even he himself didn't realize that his muscles were tense to the extreme.
Touchdown!
The referee raised his hands and made a touchdown gesture. This was a touchdown! A standard touchdown pass! Definitely a touchdown!
Lu Ke couldn't help but clenched his fists, and the shouts and roars were released before his brain could react. "Ah!" The emotion from the depths of his soul roared heartily, "Ahhh!"
He did it! He did it after all!
Suddenly, the vision in his eyes was blurred by hot tears.
He thought he didn't care.
He always emphasized that it was just a number, and there was no need to make a fuss. In his long career, more and more numbers would be created in the future. Some numbers can be called records, and some numbers cannot. But in the final analysis, he should still believe in his performance on the court and his efforts on the training field, rather than a simple number.
Even if this one number represents a record, so what?
Because records and history are like this, from the moment of birth, they are destined to withstand countless challenges, and then wait to be broken through and refreshed one day in the future. The real meaning behind the record lies in challenge, challenging one's own limits and challenging the limits of mankind, rather than simply being a historical number.
Therefore, he always maintained a normal mentality and refused to act foolishly.
But... when the record was born, his emotions completely overflowed and he was completely out of control. He did care, and he still cared after all.
From an unknown Chinese-American quarterback to a top quarterback who broke league records and wrote league history, this road has been too long. He has gone too far and has persisted for too long. He thought he was fine, but the calluses on his palms and the soreness in his body were constant reminders that the thorns and hardships on this road were beyond imagination.
Without the support of Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, without the company of Logan and Marcus, if without Candice's side, if... without John Codd's turn, maybe he would not be able to stand on this stage. , even with the rugby superstar system.
John Corder.
The fading figure appeared in his mind again, and then Lu Ke burst into tears.
Even he himself didn't expect that just because of a touchdown pass, his emotions would be so turbulent, so surging, so agitated, and all the ups and downs came in a swarm, so that he couldn't control it, and he continued to take big mouthfuls of food. Even taking a deep breath could not stop the tears from bursting out. In the end, he could only stand helpless and let the hot tears flow freely.
He did it!
He really did it!
…
At this moment, in a football bar in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, all the fans were cheering, shouting, and celebrating selflessly, applauding the wonderful touchdown attack just now and the perfect performance of the San Francisco 49ers today. Celebrating, amidst the noisy and turbulent crowd, John Corder quietly stared at the big screen with tears streaming down his face.
At this time, John was wearing the No. 14 home jersey of the San Francisco 49ers, holding a glass of draft beer in his hand, staring intently at Lu Ke on the court, but his tears could not stop falling.
He once caught the pass from that quarterback, he once teamed up with that quarterback to complete the countdown, and he once fought side by side with that quarterback on the field.
They were all once sparring players with no talent or strength, spending every day doing nothing, not caring about their future or years of hard work. They just muddle along with peace of mind, waiting for the day when they officially retire after graduating from college. .
John thought he wouldn't care. Because reality is cruel, especially in competitive sports. Some people are destined to be unable to do something if they cannot do it. But the sound of the hunting wind could not help but resound in my mind again. It was the howling wind in the final moments of the game that beat the Trojans, and it is still vivid to this day.
Lu Ke did it.
"God, he did it after all." John raised the beer glass in his hand and paid tribute to the TV screen. The tears on his face were extremely embarrassing, but the smile at the corner of his mouth bloomed, and he drank the whole glass. He poured all the beer down his throat, drank it down in one gulp, and finally placed the cup heavily on the table, "Next goal, the Super Bowl?"
…
Jonathan Goodwin was the first to rush forward, hugged Lu Ke's helmet tightly, and repeated the same sentence over and over again, "You did it, God, you did it!" That trembled slightly His voice revealed his joy and excitement, which could hardly be suppressed, and then he couldn't help but slap Lu Ke's back with his right hand, exclaiming repeatedly.
All the teammates on the offensive line swarmed over and slapped Lu Ke on the helmet, expressing their blessings simply but clearly.
At this time, Logan trotted over with a football, waving his right hand constantly, shouting selflessly, "Bambi! Bambi, Bambi!" His cheeks were filled with incredible excitement, and his eyes were filled with excitement. Brightness bloomed through the mask of the helmet, and he was so excited that his voice began to tremble, "You did it! Ahhh! Bambi, you did it!"
Lu Ke raised his head again and looked at Logan with tearful eyes. Then he realized how embarrassed he was. He raised his head again and again while crying and laughing. He took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hands to signal to Logan. After a moment, "Give me the ball." This is the football he played when he broke the record, and he hopes to commemorate it - although he still needs to ask the referee for permission.
Logan held the ball with one hand and made a throwing motion. Then when he saw Lu Ke preparing to catch the ball, he gently threw the football up, over Lu Ke's head, and landed not far behind him. Far away in Jean's arms.
Lu Ke turned around, looked at Jean, and waved, "Give it to me." At the same time, he stepped forward.
As a result, Gene threw the football towards Marcus, who was constantly heckled by the sideline. Reflexively, Lu Ke followed the football in his footsteps.
Marcus did not tease Lu Ke, but stood there and waited. When Lu Ke came in front of him, Marcus took the initiative and hugged Lu Ke, and then threw the football to Logan from behind Lu Ke. .
Lu Ke's brain was a little short-circuited, and it was only now that he realized that he had been tricked. He stood there, shaking his head with helplessness and smiling bitterly.
Seeing Lu Ke in such a rare embarrassment, the San Francisco 49ers players burst into laughter and were very happy.
"Bambi!" A shout came over, and Lu Ke subconsciously raised his head and looked over, and then saw Logan holding the football in both hands, kneeling on one knee in a tribute gesture, expressing his surrender and respect.
Such a small gesture made Lu Ke clap his hands and burst out laughing: Logan is indeed a living treasure.
However, before Lu Ke could react, Gene and Marcus could be seen immediately joining Logan, kneeling on one knee and performing the knighthood; then Goodwin, Stanley and Boone, and then You can see that the friends of the attacking team joined in one after another, offering their spoils of war like subjects paying tribute.
Faced with such a mischievous joke, Lu Ke didn't mind. Instead, he cooperated generously. He waved to Logan and asked Logan to stand up and presented the football to Lu Ke; Lu Ke returned the favor. Holding the ball in his right hand, he raised it high like the Statue of Liberty and showed it to the audience, seeming to announce that the king had successfully ascended the throne.
The scene of that living treasure made all the players and fans burst into laughter.
After Logan finished presenting the treasure, he gave Lu Ke a big hug, then put his helmet against his helmet, raised his voice in his friend's ear and said, "Remember, this is your team!" Then, Logan let go. Lu Ke raised his chin and motioned to the Candlestick Stadium.
Following Logan's line of sight, Lu Ke raised his head, turned around, looked around, and then saw the vast red ocean rolling and surging.
It was the first game at Candlestick Stadium in the 2011 regular season. Under a series of unexpected circumstances, Lu Ke was appointed to become the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. However, fans thought this was a terrible choice for the team and the team. He did not hide his dissatisfaction with the coach or Lu Ke at all. He even vented his anger and sneaked into Lu Ke's parents' house to cause trouble.
In that game, after Logan completed the touchdown, he roared towards the audience, "This is your quarterback! Did you see it? Did you see it!"
That was a game that went down in history. For the league, it was because the first Chinese-American starting player was born; for Lu Ke and Logan, it was because they proved themselves on this field.
Now, time has passed, it is still the same venue, the same group of fans, and still the same group of players, but things have changed dramatically. Lu Ke has the support and love of the entire city, and has created his own record here. He left a mark in the history of NFL.
"Remember, this is your team!"
The briefest sentence made Lu Ke burst into tears again. He gave Logan a heavy hug and slapped his friend's back hard, "Honestly, you did it on purpose, right?" Because he just watched Lu Ke was so embarrassed that his face was filled with tears, so he deliberately provoked Lu Ke further and said such sensational words.
Logan felt like he was about to vomit blood, "Help...help."
