It was a sleepless night.
After eighteen years, the San Francisco 49ers finally stood on top of the world again. They missed the playoffs for eight consecutive years, entered the playoffs for two consecutive years, and then went one step further to win the 40th Super Bowl championship. , they overcame the long and lasting downturn, they overcame the shackles of various curses, they reversed a 29-point disadvantage, they! Won a Super Bowl!
This is the sixth Super Bowl championship trophy in team history!
The whole city of San Francisco started to party. The residents couldn't even wait for the championship parade. Now they released their enthusiasm and passion early and couldn't wait to join the party. The surging enthusiasm took over the entire city. Every corner of the city, and even spread to the entire Bay Area.
"King of the Bay Area"? This seems to be the best description of the San Francisco 49ers!
But all this is just the beginning, and the real carnival is still waiting quietly. However, after that, Lu Ke's memory became blurred. Everything came flooding in like a flood. When he was overwhelmed and exhausted, things began to come to light.
To be honest, celebrating the championship is far more difficult than winning the championship - at least, for Lu Ke. He still misses his training ground and competition field even more. This is the environment he is most familiar with and the most intimate.
At the press conference for winning the championship, as a news figure who made history, Lu Ke became the absolute focus without hesitation.
About Charles Davis’ “kiss the donkey’s ass” bet, about Ray Lewis’ retirement, about controversial calls during the game, about the long pass selection at the last minute, about Mercedes-Benz endorsements, about customization The launch of new sneakers, the disclosure of Candice's love affair, the signing of a new contract, plans for next season, and all the curses that have been broken...
And so on and so forth.
The questions were endless, one after another, and there was no time to even take a sip of water.
The most surprising thing is undoubtedly the question about Jerry Jones. As the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones is bound to attract attention wherever he appears in any corner of the league; and this time, he appeared on the Super Bowl stage. After the game, he was still on Jed York Accompanied by his wife, he had a brief conversation with Lu Ke.
When Lu Ke joined the San Francisco 49ers, he signed a two-year contract. This contract is about to expire in August this year. This also means that the time for renewal or transfer has come. What kind of offers are the San Francisco 49ers willing to offer? conditions to keep this quarterback who has created countless histories, and what other teams are competing for this quarterback will undoubtedly be the most watched focus of the entire league in the next three months, even without the suffix There isn't much problem with adding "one" either.
Now, the emergence of Jerry Jones makes people have to think about it.
Lu Ke avoided all the questions with great difficulty. He was still able to handle the press conference with ease. However, the entire interview process lasted for nearly an hour, but it consumed all Lu Ke's energy.
After the interview, Lu Ke was so dizzy that he couldn't even remember what questions the reporter had just asked. He just felt that his vision was starting to blur.
The players collectively returned to the locker room. Lu Ke first became the darling of the Gatorade bath, and then triggered a champagne bath war. The wet and sticky feeling all over his body was not too embarrassing.
Later, Hollywood actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, and Jack Nicholson, as well as professional players such as Stephen Curry and JJ Watt, came to change clothes. When I visited the room, I saw a messy and chaotic scene. The horrific scene had reached the level of psychological shadow.
But the carnival is still not over.
That night, Jed York, the owner of the San Francisco 49ers, directly chartered a plane to fly the entire team back to San Francisco. The players celebrated another round on the plane. The last remaining memory is that of staggering corpses everywhere. If At this time, a paparazzi took a photo, which can definitely be sold on the TMZ website for a good price.
After arriving in San Francisco, the players dispersed and started partying all night long.
Lu Ke went to Joe Stanley's home. Luxury cars and swimming pools, beauties and alcohol, celebrities and flesh and blood. The whole party had everything. He left all the hardship and fatigue of the long season behind, and did not need to worry about the next step. There is no need to worry about the next training session, they can celebrate wantonly and wildly.
The 2012 season officially comes to an end tonight.
Three days later, the official championship parade was held in San Francisco!
Don’t underestimate this championship parade. The budget alone has exceeded four million U.S. dollars - jointly borne by the city hall and the team. For this championship parade after 18 years, not only San Francisco and the entire Bay Area were in a state of excitement. City Hall and the team worked together to launch careful planning and execution.
First of all, the city and the team planned a championship parade route that could cover the entire city, be controlled within an appropriate length, and at the same time not affect the normal operation of the urban area. Even Auckland has submitted an application, hoping that To be able to join this championship parade.
Find the psychological shadow area of the Oakland Raiders.
Secondly, after the championship parade route was determined, the entire city began to mobilize. According to subsequent statistics, San Francisco mobilized a total of more than 800 police officers, 150 firefighters, and 200 municipal engineering personnel. The scale was huge. It is said to be the best among all major sports leagues in recent years.
In addition to this, there are also basic logistics service settings. In addition to mobile toilets, there are also different championship celebration formations, drinking water and simple food, etc., as well as a series of related measures such as ambulances and fire trucks.
Finally, the San Francisco 49ers themselves were fully prepared. They sent six double-decker buses, 30 private cars, 20 celebration floats and 60 motorcycles. It can be said that the entire team All members of the team have been mobilized to join the carnival.
According to official statistics from the league, the number of people who arrived in San Francisco to participate in the championship parade that day was estimated at 1.5 million people, but in fact it should be 1.8 million to 2 million people. This data also created The number of people mobilized for the championship parade of the four major sports leagues in North America was the largest, breaking the historical record!
Prior to this, the record for the championship parade was held by the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. As a densely populated area, Los Angeles once mobilized 1.3 million people to participate in the parade; but now, the San Francisco 49ers have greatly improved. A lot has changed, but in the final analysis it is still reflected in the Asian community.
In previous years, the enthusiasm of the Asian community for participating in the championship parade was limited. Even if they occasionally joined in the fun, they could not become the main force in the parade. However, this year, among the onlookers in San Francisco, the Asian community has become a group that cannot be ignored. Power is involved everywhere.
Lu Ke reached the Super Bowl as the main starter. The impact of this feat far exceeded expectations. Even Roger Goodell has raised his expectations, and the FL's market share is further increasing by leaps and bounds.
This championship parade has made the connection between the team and the city, the fans and the team, and the city and the game closer and closer. The phrase "the fight never stops" has become a new city label for San Francisco and is attracting more and more people. attention.
It doesn’t matter if it’s 1.5 million people or 2 million people.
When you are really in it, there is only one feeling in your mind: huge crowds of people! Really huge crowds of people! Completely surrounded by a sea of crowds, the entire city was surrounded by a sea of red - all nine players wore red home jerseys, spreading the red sea of Candlestick Stadium to the entire Bay Area, as if Even the ocean is dyed red.
The most amazing thing is that more than two-thirds of the fans are wearing gold items!
When the parade bus passed by, gold began to spread out in large areas, lighting up the vast sea of red. The scene was truly spectacular, eclipsing even Candlestick Stadium's home game days.
The entire championship celebration lasted for nearly a whole day. After the parade, there was an interactive celebration between players and fans, which lasted from day to night, pushing the Super Bowl championship craze to the extreme.
Amidst the cheers and shouts, all of Lu Ke's relevant memories began to become blurred. He could only vaguely remember the endless, endless red ocean, the deafening and thrilling support slogans, and other All that is left is a few specious hazy fragments.
It wasn't until the day after the championship parade ended that I woke up from my sleep again. The top-heavy excitement and excitement gradually calmed down, and the reality of being a "Super Bowl champion" slowly became heavier. It seemed like everything was gone. Nothing has changed, and it seems like everything has changed.
Turning to look at Candice, who was sleeping next to him, Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh.
The past few days should have been the most relaxing time for Lu Ke in his career, and it was also the most lazy time for him after getting the football superstar system. Let alone training, he never even opened the system, and the Super Bowl The championship reward has not been received yet.
After being idle for a short period of time, Lu Ke could already feel the muscles in his body protesting. He had gradually become accustomed to the self-disciplined training schedule, and suddenly relaxed and became uncomfortable. He needed to return to basic training and recovery training. , winning championships is a thing of the past, and the offseason is about to begin, right?
Leaving the bed quietly, carefully avoiding disturbing Candice who was sleeping soundly, Lu Ke came to the hall, bathed in the morning sunshine, and turned on the system for the first time after winning the Super Bowl.
