"careful."
The words were stuck in her throat, and she didn't have time to shout. Kate Wiggins just tightened her hands and held the two armrests of the wheelchair hard. Her heart couldn't help but hang high, almost stuck in her throat, and her eyes were full of worry. He stared at Ryan Baldwin who was slowly standing up in front of him.
Ryan stood up.
Although the process was a bit slow and difficult, he still managed to stand up, with his feet on the ground, and a bright smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, "How about it, I told you, I can do it!" Turning his head , Ryan looked at Kate and Jonathan, with a proud look on his face, and then noticed Kate's movements, he laughed heartily, "Kate, are you going to stop me?"
Kate looked at Ryan quietly. His forehead and nose were covered with a thin layer of sweat, which shone under the early spring sunshine in San Francisco, lightly lighting up the vitality and vitality rising at the corners of his mouth. The joy and wantonness made her mood involuntarily soar.
Kate shook her head gently, "No." There were tears in her eyes, but she couldn't hold it back. She chuckled happily, "You are right. Bambi has fought for every nine people. , now is the time for us to fight for Bambi. Because every one of us is a warrior, right?"
"The fight never stops," Ryan said.
"The fight never stops!" Kate responded.
Jonathan, who was standing next to him, also laughed and protested repeatedly, "Hey! Hey, there are other people here, please pay attention to the impact, okay?" Then he walked forward and gave Ryan a big hug. "Sprint, this is your moment, let those suits sitting in the office take a good look at what the real battle is!"
Ryan is still the same Ryan. After watching the team win the championship in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis did not magically cure itself. He is still rehabbing every day. , Fighting with the body, you must fight with all your strength every day, and continue to fight in order to live one more day.
However, Ryan is no longer hospitalized and is back home. Because even if he stays in the hospital, there is no way to treat his illness, or even to suppress it, only to alleviate it; and because he hopes to integrate more into life, just like Bambi, running towards his dream wholeheartedly, instead of living forever. He spent all his time in the hospital day and night.
Who says terminally ill patients can’t have dreams? Can’t have a life?
Now, Ryan persists in updating his diary on the Internet every day to truly record every day's life; at the same time, he persists in taking photos every day and uploading them to his photo wall account - he aspires to be a photographer. Use his own feet to explore the world and use his own eyes to record nature. Although he cannot leave San Francisco, he can still capture the beauty of life.
Before Lu Ke went to Los Angeles to start offseason training, he went to visit Ryan and stood under Ryan's lens and served as a model.
After winning the championship, Lu Ke continued to sprint towards his dream, and Ryan also hoped that he could do the same.
Kate does not want Ryan to participate in today's fan event because the group gathering is full of too many unexpected situations, and Ryan's physical condition is not suitable for being exposed to the sun for a long time. In addition, there are many uncertain factors that may It had an impact; but Kate still failed to dissuade Ryan.
Ryan's moment has come.
Ryan turned to face the fans in front of him, took the microphone from Jonathan, cleared his throat, "Hey, everyone, I'm Ryan Baldwin."
Ryan's voice spread through the speakers, and all the fans in the audience turned towards the temporary stage in front of them. The vast ocean of fans spread out endlessly in front of their eyes, and the dazzling and gorgeous red covered their eyes. Every corner in the house is occupied.
However, the red ocean in front of him did not surge. Instead, the water remained calm without any trace of waves, watching Ryan intently and quietly.
When Trent arrived at Candlestick Park, this was what he saw:
Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Or maybe 50,000? It's impossible to completely calculate it with the naked eye. You can only see the vast red carpet surrounding the whole place, and you can't find even a little gap. Because all the fans gathered outdoors, it was like the red sea in Candlestick Stadium poured down directly. The scene was even more grand and majestic than on the match day, and the red color created an unparalleled visual impact.
But what was even more shocking was the silence. The endless red ocean maintained absolute calm. Just like looking at the tranquil sea horizon, the place where the sea and the sky meet disappeared into a halo, and then the ocean and the sky were completely lost. The difference in the sky, the whole world blends into one seamlessly.
After Trent detoured into the parking lot from the other side of the base, he took the elevator all the way to the office floor. Accompanied by Julie, he came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down from top to bottom, taking in a panoramic view of the entire scene, but Before the words could be spoken, he was already in deep shock.
"I'm not good at speaking, and I don't know how to speak, but today I still hope to stand up and express my voice."
Compared with the first half of the year, Ryan's articulation has become much clearer. Only by practicing and speaking every day can his vocal cords and tongue stay active; but this is only relative. Compared with most people, Ryan's The pronunciation and intonation are still a little unnatural, and the words are slightly vague.
However, Ryan did not feel inferior or give up, and continued unswervingly.
"Just two seasons ago, we were still the weakest team in the entire league. We couldn't be said to be great, but we couldn't be said to be terrible either. We were just living in a miserable state, and even the most die-hard and die-hard fans couldn't help but start to have doubts. , will we sink forever like this? There is no hope."
"I didn't want to give up, but the team didn't give me a reason to keep going."
"Now, I finally found that reason! Not because we won the Super Bowl again, not because we had a perfect season with 100 wins! But because we have that player who carries the number fourteen! His name is Lu Ke!"
"It was he who told me, never give up! It was he who told me, fight to the last moment! It was he who told me that what is more terrifying than failure is surrender! It was he who told me, even if the outcome is doomed, you must use up the last drop Fuel! He told me that there are more important things besides victory!"
"He told me! We are nine! We are still warriors!"
"I will not give up!"
"I am suffering from a terminal illness. The whole world cannot find a solution to the disease. There is no way to even suppress it. The only thing I can do is to relieve it; but I will not give up. I will fight until the last moment! This is mine. Life, this is my life, maybe God can determine the length of life, but only I can determine the depth of life!”
"That's what the player told me!"
"For me, he is more than just a quarterback, he is also my spiritual role model! It is him who makes this team different again!"
"At the beginning, we missed him in the draft, and in the end, he still became a Niner! This is our honor! Now, I hope he can stay, I hope he can establish here A dynasty that will be admired by future generations! Because he is a part of the Nine, because he is a part of this city! This is wealth that no amount of money or numbers can exchange for!"
"This is Bambi's battle!"
"But it is also our battle!"
Impassioned, foaming at the mouth, and blood boiling, Ryan raised his right hand high, waving a golden support scarf, and officially released his declaration.
Then Kate and Jonathan also raised the golden support scarves in their hands. The golden halo spread across the audience like a prairie fire. The red ocean in the audience turned into a golden ocean. It was calm just now. The waveless sea surface suddenly surged with wild teeth and turned into a stormy sea, shaking the entire Candlestick Stadium like a passing hurricane.
"The fight never stops!"
"The fight never stops!"
"The fight never stops!"
Against the backdrop of the golden ocean, the overwhelming support rolled in. With Candlestick Park as the center, it spread throughout the city, like ripples. It was just a small pebble at the beginning. However, huge waves surged up one after another, and the terrifying momentum of "one stone stirred up a thousand waves" recreated the grand scene of Candlestick Stadium.
Trent opened his mouth slightly. The moment the red ocean evolved into the golden ocean, all the words had lost their color and weight. He could only stare blankly at the scene in front of him, but no sound could come out. His brain All thoughts and calculations were completely cleared away.
They calculated the salary cap. They calculated the business value. They calculated the psychological bottom line... They calculated all the possibilities above the commercial level, but they ignored the soul of the fans. This is an answer that cannot be obtained by any mathematical formula. It is precisely the most immeasurable unknown in competitive sports. factor.
More importantly, they far underestimated the power of this "unknown factor".
Does it matter whether there are 10,000 people or 100,000 people in front of us? Not important at all! Because even in the depths of Trent's mind, the wave of support began to surge, "The battle never stops", and he couldn't help but start to feel excited. The uncontrollable shock made people's minds sway, and then other people were even more excited. That’s it.
Turning his head, Trent's eyes met Julie's, but Julie shrugged, "I told you, the situation here is far beyond imagination."
