From a distance, Lu Ke could see large white air waves spreading out. The bustling crowds were rushing along the spacious streets towards the Oracle Arena at the end of the road. The air was filled with the excitement of the fans. The sound of cheers and cheers, it seems that the hot passion can be tasted on the tip of the tongue, making people's blood boil.
Involuntarily, Lu Ke once again thought of the sea of red at the Candlestick Stadium on home game days.
After driving all the way from home, Lu Ke seemed to arrive at Oracle Arena too late. The parking lot was already full. It took him nearly thirty minutes to find a parking space - even compared to the time spent on the road. Not much different.
As soon as he parked the car and was unbuckling his seat belt, his cell phone started ringing. After a quick glance at the caller ID, Lu Ke answered the phone, "Hey, JJ, I just parked the car, where are you now? Otherwise, Let’s meet directly in the arena?”
"Did you just arrive at the parking lot? Is it in Area D? And a navy blue Chevrolet?" JJ Watt's voice came from the other end of the phone, and the noisy background sound of fans chanting could still be vaguely heard. .
"Yes, how do you know?" Before Lu Ke could finish his words, there was a "bang bang bang" banging sound coming from the car window, which startled him. When he turned his head, he could see Watt's square shape. With a silly smile on his face, he was waving to Lu Ke happily.
Lu Ke hung up the phone and opened the car door, "Hey, how did you find me here?"
"I just found a parking space there and got out of the car. Then I saw your car circling around. I vaguely felt that the figure in the driver's seat looked familiar, so I walked over to try my luck. No I thought, it's really you." Watt's bass was loud, like a subwoofer amidst the noise in the parking lot, which calmed down the chaotic atmosphere.
Now is the offseason. Rookie training camp has not yet begun. There is still a short period of time before the free market and the draft. This is also the cleanest time in the entire league. The really busy ones are the scouts and coaches—— They must start analyzing this year's rookie lineup, and then select the candidates the team needs step by step, and then formulate a draft strategy.
But the players can enjoy their vacation.
At this time last year, Lu Ke and Watt, two training madmen, had already begun to invest in offseason training. Because both of them were not very satisfied with their rookie season performance, they both clearly knew their shortcomings and shortcomings, so they started high-intensity training non-stop.
This year, the two people have slightly adjusted their plans - Lu Ke is passive, and Watt is active. They have both appropriately reserved a period of rest and adjustment. They only conduct simple basic training on a daily basis to maintain the activity of their body muscles. It’s also to invest in offseason training to gain strength.
According to the plan, Lu Ke and Watt will also train together during this offseason. The training location is still at UCLA. All equipment, environment and training plans have been arranged in advance and will officially start next week. .
Before going into offseason training, Lu Ke and Watt made a special trip to Oracle Arena in Oakland today just to support Stephen Curry.
The Golden State Warriors have performed well this season. There are still six weeks left before the end of the regular season, but they still maintain the hope of competing for a playoff spot. This has also made the Warriors' home games more and more lively and popular. The entire city is filled with expectations for the team to return to the playoffs for the first time since the 2006 season.
This season, Lu Ke and Watt have both entered the playoffs, and now they are also looking forward to Curry standing on the playoff stage.
"I'm still worried that I'm late. I was delayed a little while crossing the bridge before, and I couldn't find a parking space." Lu Ke patted Watt on the shoulder with a smile, "Did you just come here today? In the guest room. Are everything ready? For a few days after returning from New York, I stayed at my parents' house and did not go back. I just told Vincent."
Watt made a special trip to San Francisco to relax and have fun. Naturally, he could not live in a hotel, but at Lu Ke's home. Fortunately, there are quite a few guest rooms in Lu Ke's home. Now Watt and Curry have their own fixed rooms; of course, if Lu Ke goes to Houston, he will also live in Watt's home.
"Don't worry about me, I'm not Riley." Watt waved his hand and said with a smile.
Riley is Curry's daughter. Curry often mentions this little guy in and out of his conversations, and Lu Ke and Watt are no strangers to him.
The two were about to leave, but Watt's eyes fell on Lu Ke's car again. He raised his hand and patted the hood heavily, "This must be an old guy, right? It looks like it has some history. Why?" , you never planned to change your car?"
"You mean, Lamborghini?" Lu Ke's answer made Watt laugh heartily and wave his hands repeatedly, "God, I can't imagine you driving a Lamborghini across the city."
Lu Ke rolled his eyes, "Because I'm not suitable?"
"No, because this is not your style." Watt's palm like a cattail leaf patted Lu Ke's shoulder heavily, with a bright smile still on his face, "You are not one of those big guys from the south."
This term refers specifically to big black men who, after earning their first salary or signing bonus, immediately waste their money: women, cars and gold, these are their "three lucky treasures".
"Even if you change your car, you probably won't buy a sports car. A sports car won't run at all in San Francisco. There are so many hills, so you might as well come to Houston and run." Watt said as he chuckled, as if I was imagining Lu Ke driving a Hornet sports car wildly in the suburbs of Houston. The scene was really hilarious. Even after Lu Ke thought about it for a while, he couldn't help laughing.
Smiling, Watt had forgotten the reason why he brought up the topic in the first place. He was stunned before he remembered, "I just said, you can replace it with a pickup truck or SUV and use it when going to training. As the most popular player in the league right now, Quarterback, people would be surprised to see your car."
"This is my sixteenth birthday gift, given to me by my father." Lu Ke explained simply, "I still like the things I am used to." After a slight pause, "What's more, I already have a brand new The car is gone, don’t you remember?”
Watt blinked, "Aha!"
Mercedes Benz.
"Then why did you drive this car today?" Watt's head was filled with questions.
"Shh! If Mercedes-Benz finds out, I will be fined." Lu Ke had a serious expression on his face, and then when he saw Watt nodding seriously to show his understanding, the smile at the corner of his mouth widened.
At this time, Watt realized that he had been deceived, and he helplessly spread his hands to Lu Ke, with a depressed face.
Lu Ke is a very nostalgic person. This navy blue Chevrolet has been with him for seven years, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and from Los Angeles back to San Francisco. Countless memories on the road are closely related to this car. In fact, this car has some minor problems, because it was a second-hand car when he bought it, but overall it is very smooth. If he had not signed a contract with Mercedes-Benz, he would not have planned to change the car.
Now, Lu Ke's car is the Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV that he endorses; and this Chevrolet has become Jiang Youning's special car when he goes to the supermarket.
However, after Lu Ke came back from New York, he went directly to his parents' house, and his brand-new car was parked in the garage of his apartment. He didn't think much about it when he went out today, and drove the Chevrolet out of habit. If Watt hadn't reminded him, Lu Ke would have I still haven’t thought about the sponsor.
From this perspective, he is not a qualified spokesperson.
But Lu Ke is a good boy who corrects his mistakes when he knows they are wrong. Although it was very realistic when he teased Watt, the actual situation was no joke. He immediately sent a text message to Vincent, explaining the situation. He accidentally drove the Chevrolet out, so he could only trouble Vincent to come over. The car drove back, and at the end of the game, he took Watt's car home.
This is also a responsibility to the sponsors.
"What about your car?"
"SUV. A sports car is really awkward. For a big guy like me, I find it difficult to squeeze myself in. An SUV is more convenient."
"I thought in Texas, you still choose pickup trucks more because farms and ranches need to transport tools, and pickup trucks are a more convenient option, right?"
"I don't have that much training equipment."
"you sure?"
Lu Ke and Watt walked toward the entrance of Oracle Arena, talking and laughing.
Although Lu Ke just won the Super Bowl, Watt's treatment of Lu Ke hasn't changed much. He didn't deliberately tease Lu Ke for winning the championship, and he didn't treat him differently. The two are still good friends. This way of getting along makes people feel much more comfortable - —Especially when Lu Ke just finished his crazy trip to New York, he needed such tranquility.
Unfortunately, the tranquility only lasted for a moment.
"Bambi! Hey, Bambi! Congratulations!"
"Bambi! Did you come here specifically to support Curry?"
"Great Super Bowl win! Super comeback!"
"Bambi! Can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Is this...is this JJ Watt? Wow, Watt and Bambi! Wow!"
When two professional rugby players appear in another sports venue, even if they are in different sports, the chance of being recognized is still infinitely close to perfect.
Especially when there is a light bulb standing next to you——
"It's all because of you!" Watt complained with resentment.
Lu Ke looked innocent, "Are you sure it's not because of you? You are much bigger than me, and your target is too eye-catching. Now I feel that everyone is paying attention because of you."
"..." Watt's head is full of black lines. In terms of eloquence, he is definitely no match for Lu Ke. "Huh! See you on the offseason training ground!"
