On Wednesday, January 30th, there are only four days left before the Super Bowl, and the official media day has officially arrived! The so-called official media day is also called Super-Bowl-Opening-Night, which also means that it is officially Super Bowl time!
The Super Bowl's official media day is a little different, simply put, on a different scale. Because this official media meeting was held at the Super Bowl venue, enough venue means enough scale and enough scenes. All players from both teams attended the press conference at the same time, which was grand and grand. Let’s join hands to unveil the annual feast!
Every year, the Super Bowl is known as the "American Spring Festival Gala", and a large part of the reason comes from the halftime show. During the 12 minutes of halftime, the NFL will invite top stars to give a visual and auditory performance feast. , the 1993 halftime show was dedicated by Michael Jackson. It was also hailed as an "immortal performance" and attracted more than 100 million viewers. It is still one of the most sensational performances in history.
This year, the halftime show will feature Beyoncé!
Another part of the reason is because of the extremely high ratings of Unparalleled Wulin, which is comparable to the "Spring Festival Gala" level.
Last year's Super Bowl finale between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants attracted 111 million viewers in North America, with a ratings of 47.1. In addition, Boston, New York and the host Indianapolis The ratings in the city exceeded 55.0 - simply put, more than 55% of the audience aged 18 to 49 watched this game.
Without a doubt, this is the number one sport in North America! It is also the number one show in North America! invincible!
On the official media day, you can already feel the raging heat wave rolling in in advance.
When Lu Ke, Logan, Marcus and others arrived at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the huge crowds at the scene brought an unparalleled shock. It was just an official media day, and the scene attracted tens of thousands of people. Fans flocked to the Super Bowl - because the venue was the stadium, in addition to the media, the enthusiastic fans who came to support the Super Bowl were also a unique sight on the official media day of the Super Bowl.
On the left is a red ocean and on the right is a purple forest.
Because the two teams participated in the press conference at the same venue and were interviewed at the same time, this also caused fans from both sides to arrive at the scene together. The vastness and grandeur of the fans on both sides were clearly distinct and non-infringing on each other. The meeting started the Super Bowl craze early. .
But unlike the fans, who have clear-cut flags, the players are confused and confused. In order to create a friendly and warm family atmosphere and avoid creating a tense and tit-for-tat atmosphere on top of the official media day, making this annual grand event a farce for children to play house, the alliance has uniformly stipulated the attendance attire——
They are all silver-gray jackets. The left chest marks the logo of Super Bowl XLVII, and the right chest marks the team's benchmark and player number. Looking at it, they all seem to be the same group of people. To a certain extent, this also prevents the fans from being treated differently. As soon as they see a player on the court, whether it is their own team or the enemy's, the fans will start shouting, and the roar of the sound will make the eardrums start to stir.
If you haven't experienced it personally, even if you watch such a scene from a live TV screen, you still won't be able to feel the shock. Involuntarily, the blood began to boil. It wasn't even Super Bowl night, and the burst of adrenaline was already rolling.
"Wow." Logan stood next to Lu Ke and couldn't help but start gearing up. "I already want to appear on the stage! Prepare to compete with them! This is definitely a world-class stage! You said, the World Cup finals Is this what it feels like? It’s really exciting!”
His eagerness to try made his steps start to jump, and even onlookers couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
Marcus started complaining, "Are you sure you are looking forward to the game and not the halftime show?"
Then Lu Ke also bumped Logan with his shoulder, "Are you too excited to speak just imagining it?"
Logan, who is usually loud and loud, became unusually reserved at this time. He frowned and retorted harshly, "What kind of halftime show? It's hard for a professional player like me to get on the Super Bowl stage." , Of course it’s for victory! How could it be to watch the halftime show?”
During last year's offseason, after missing the draft and going through some twists and turns, Lu Ke finally officially joined the San Francisco 49ers, reuniting the three Musketeers from UCLA.
At that time, the three of them were lying on the ground in the parking lot, thinking about the future. Marcus couldn't help but be curious, "Bambi, do you think that one day in the future, we might stand on the stage of the Super Bowl? I mean, the three of us."
"Super Bowl?" Logan couldn't help but repeat the same sentence, "Why do I think I am looking forward to the Super Bowl halftime show more than the Super Bowl? Do you think it is possible for Beyoncé to participate in the halftime show? performance?"
As a result, Lu Ke started to complain about Logan's "Chao Qin Mu Chu". He clearly liked Anne Hathaway, but he started looking forward to Beyoncé's halftime show.
In the blink of an eye, their sophomore season is coming to an end. All the dreams that seemed out of reach at that time have come true. They are about to stand on the stage of the Super Bowl and are about to enjoy Beyoncé’s halftime show. Those memories in the parking lot are still vivid in my mind, but they feel like they were a lifetime ago.
Facing the meaningful looks in Lu Ke's and Marcus's eyes, Logan held on for a while, but was finally defeated and spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, okay, how did I know that we could really Standing on the stage of the Super Bowl? I thought we were just spectators. If we were spectators, of course we had to watch the halftime show! Otherwise, it would be so frustrating to watch two opponents compete for the trophy we dream of!"
Marcus didn't speak, just smiled sullenly.
Lu Ke raised his voice and asked, "Are you sure you're not expecting Anne Hathaway?"
"Bambi!" Logan gritted his teeth, but it only made Lu Ke and Marcus laugh more happily. In the end, Logan could only give up on himself and complain, "Yes, yes, if Beyoncé and Annie appear at the same time. On the halftime show stage, it couldn’t be better.”
Thinking about it this way, the scene becomes very joyful.
What's even more joyful is that the heart-rending cheers and shouts of the fans can still be heard in my ears. The names of Lu Ke and the three of them are also among them. The three of them also wave to the fans enthusiastically. If the fans They know the topic of their discussion, and they will probably laugh and cry.
Under the welcome of more than 15,000 fans, Lu Ke and other players and teammates stepped into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. They returned to this familiar venue again, but it was completely different——
The entire stadium has evolved into a large-scale exhibition site, with wooden platforms neatly distributed in the venue. The bustling group of reporters filled all the gaps in the venue, so the exhibition site evolved into a music festival site. Whichever platform has more onlookers in front of it means higher popularity; at the same time, reporters can change their camps at any time, freely move positions within the venue, and find better interview materials and interview subjects.
Before the formal independent interview, there is a team appearance session. The two teams each sent four players plus the head coach, a total of five people appeared on the stage, shook hands with each other and greeted each other to unveil the Super Bowl; after the collective appearance session was over After that, the official media day officially begins.
The San Francisco 49ers' players are Lu Ke, Patrick Willis, Aldon Smith and Randy Moss; the Baltimore Ravens' players are Joe Flacco, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Ray-Rice.
This is not the first time that the players from both sides have met. They have become familiar with each other from last year to this year, but they are definitely not familiar with each other, let alone friends. On the Internet, among experts, and within the league, debates and discussions about the two teams have become tense, but on the stage of the official media day, the atmosphere was still harmonious.
Lewis did not look down on Lu Ke on the spot; Moss did not have a verbal conflict with Red. The main reason is that the meeting between brothers John and Jim Hubble seemed harmonious and full of laughter. The Hubble family was obviously happy to see the first confrontation between brothers' head coaches in the history of the Super Bowl.
This is obviously a bit disappointing for reporters. Even if they don't expect the two sides to fight each other, they at least expect some gunpowder. After all, the head-on confrontation of "Lu Ke VS Thor" has aroused everyone's expectations. If It would be so boring for them to sit here and compliment each other.
After the team's appearance, under the guidance of the staff, Lu Ke boarded his own stage, but Lu Ke was still a little curious. He looked at the reporters in front of him and asked, "Uh... I shouldn't have gone to the wrong place, right?" ?Sorry, I spent too much time studying the tactical manual, and I was a little unprepared today."
At this moment, the reporters gathered in front of the stage were really crowded. There were at least 150 reporters around the small stage. In the Superdome, except for Ray Lewis, this was the busiest one in the audience. In this place, other stations only have less than fifty reporters at most, so the attention and popularity are obvious at a glance.
Seeing Lu Ke officially take his seat, the reporters could no longer hold back their excitement, but they also knew that today was official media day, and there was plenty of time to slowly ask questions. There was no need for them to be too anxious, so everyone still suppressed it. Awakening his excitement, he raised his voice and asked along with the surging atmosphere.
"Bambi, you look very relaxed today, and you don't seem to notice any tension. What were you, Logan, and Marcus discussing when you first entered the stadium?"
