The entire Candlestick Stadium was quiet and solemn. Lu Ke's voice was faintly surging in the stadium, and all the San Francisco 49ers players in front of them fell silent.
"Some friends who just joined in the offseason may not understand that Ryan Baldwin is just an ordinary Niner, but he is not an ordinary Niner. The golden ocean he represents is exactly what we are fighting for. The reason that never stops! He showed us what the real Nine is! Refusing to give up! Refusing to disarm! Refusing to compromise! Fight unremittingly until the last moment, and will never admit defeat until the last drop of blood is burned! Even if you die , we must also hold our heads high and raise our chins high to welcome our own ending! We will definitely not leave any regrets or regrets!"
"He witnessed our perfect season of undefeated victory! He witnessed our return to the Super Bowl! He witnessed our transformation from a dark horse to a strong team! Because he is us, he is part of the red ocean in front of us, He is the chemical reaction that allows this red ocean to transform into gold! He is the reason why we keep fighting and never give up!"
"This vast ocean stands behind us, cheering for us, shouting for us, and going crazy for us. Even if the whole world stands against us, they will never give up on us and will always be unswervingly Our most solid and powerful backing! But all this is not because we can bring victory and championship, but because of our spirit of refusing to give up in the face of any challenges and difficulties!"
"Because we are nine!"
"This is rugby! But it's so much more than rugby! This is a victory! But it's so much more than winning! This is what we fight for! This is what we stand for! This is what we live for The reason! Here, we represent not just a team, but the soul that was born and grew up stubbornly on this land! As long as the soul does not disperse, the red ocean will never disappear !”
"Ryan Baldwin and I once made a promise. We will work together to win the Super Bowl, and then we will stand side by side and fight to defend the title! Now, half of this promise has been realized, and the rest... On top of our shoulders!"
"Because of what?"
At this moment, Lu Ke had completely forgotten about his left knee injury. He stepped heavily on the ground with his feet, roaring at his teammates with protruding veins, and the bloody temperament bursting out of his eyes. The unprecedented light made even the vast red sea of the entire Candlestick Stadium seem eclipsed.
"Because we are!"
Logan closed his eyes tightly, but the surge in his heart still couldn't be suppressed. Now he finally understood:
Why is it just an ordinary regular season, but Lu Ke still goes all out regardless of it; why Lu Ke is obviously suffering from a left knee injury, but he still refuses to leave the court; why after returning to the court, Lu Ke Ke burst out with unprecedented determination and determination; why in the last wave of attacks, Lu Ke's eyes burst out with tragic perseverance...
All questions have now been answered.
"Nine people!"
Logan clenched his hands into fists and roared with all his strength to respond. All the sadness and all the pain were turned into motivation to move forward, and infinite energy bloomed in the roar.
They are nine people. They have never been afraid of dangers and difficulties since their ancestors. They have carved out a paradise of their own on the desolate and vast land. They are nine people. They never shrink back when faced with setbacks and hardships, but are brave. They fearlessly hold up their chests and meet all challenges; they are nine people, and their indomitable tenacity and perseverance are hidden in their bones.
"we are!"
Ankuang Bolding himself did not expect the surge of emotions to be so ferocious and intense.
He won't lie, he doesn't know Ryan Baldwin at all, has never had contact with or met him - of course, the death of any fan is sad, but hearing about the departure of a stranger is, after all, Still can't relate to it. He has not experienced last year's perfect season, nor has he had a face-to-face conversation with Ryan, so all his thoughts are just pie-in-the-sky.
But now, listening to Lu Ke's passionate words, Boulding began to understand.
Understand what happened to this team in the past year, understand the energy that Lu Ke burst out in this game, understand the courage contained in the red sea in front of you, understand the sadness and enthusiasm behind the desperate reversal... More importantly, Yes, understand the story behind the slogan "The fight never stops".
Although Boulding only vaguely understood the outline now, he still couldn't help but start to get excited at this moment. When he heard Lu Ke's hoarse roar, he also followed suit with forgetfulness——
"warrior!"
They are warriors, it has nothing to do with victory or competition, but everything to do with life and death and fighting; they are warriors, whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, they will go all out; they are warriors, burning their lives to complete every game Competition makes life bloom with endless light; they are warriors, even if they are bruised and scarred, they will fight to the end with blood.
It’s not just Logan, it’s not just Boldin.
All eyes fell on Lu Ke. Those eyes were full of all kinds of complicated emotions, sadness and pain, grief and bitterness, determination and enthusiasm, sincerity and sincerity, excitement and excitement...positive and negative. , positive and negative, all the emotions were intertwined, with mixed flavors and faint tears. In the end, they all turned into roars and roars, venting their emotions heartily.
The same is true for Lu Ke.
"we are!"
"Nine people!"
"we are!"
"warrior!"
The shouts one after another were like a cuckoo weeping blood, tragic and poignant. The tenacity behind the sadness tightly tied all the players and coaches together. Their souls also reflected each other at this moment, and the pain and sadness Transform it into motivation to keep moving forward.
Starting today, they will carry Ryan Baldwin's dreams and commitments on their backs and embark on a journey to defend their title! This road is destined to not be smooth, but they are fearless. If the storm is destined to come, then let the storm come more violently!
The chorus of less than a hundred people shouting in unison was insignificant compared to the 70,000 fans at Candlestick Stadium; but the roar was stirring inside the stadium for a long time, conveying those sad and determined emotions, and deeply It deeply affected the entire audience. Although they didn't know why, they gradually started shouting together.
"We are! Nine!"
"We are! Warriors!"
The opening game has ended, but the cheers of support from Candlestick Stadium still echo through the sky and linger for a long time!
“Dear viewers, this game is over, but now all the fans are gathered together, and more importantly, all the San Francisco 49ers players are gathered together. We don’t understand what is happening ahead yet. situation, but what can be seen now is that San Francisco quarterback Lu Ke is leading the cheers."
Anthony Tinoso is still standing in front of the TV. At the beginning of the new season, he still sticks to his bar and watches the game live with a group of old guys instead of going to Candlestick Stadium to watch the game in person.
He couldn't help temporarily putting down the wine glass in his hand, and stepped forward to adjust the sound of the TV to the maximum. The laughter and laughter in the bar gradually began to quiet down, and all eyes were projected towards the TV screen. The voice of the analysis commentator was small. The bar was teleported out and spread in the streets and alleys.
"We have just received official news that Ryan Baldwin, a loyal San Francisco 49ers fan...oh...he is the fan who lit up the golden ocean at Candlestick Stadium during the regular season last year. He has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He has always been there. He fought against the disease tenaciously, but this is an incurable terminal disease. At halftime of today's game, Ryan Baldwin officially left the world forever. This is a farewell."
There was no sound in "Joe's Bar". There was the faint roar of vehicles passing by on the street, and the light breeze blew the tinkling of wind chimes. Even the sound of sewage passing by the sewer seemed to be amplified several times. , which more and more brought out the tranquility, the tranquility full of sadness and bitterness. All eyes were fixed on the big screen, and the world stopped at this moment.
On the street, the white-collar workers who were in a hurry after work suddenly stopped and stared at the big TV screen in the shopping mall; the waiter in the coffee shop was holding the coffee pot in his hand and was about to pour coffee for the customer. The young man in the subway tunnel who was about to enter the subway station turned his eyes to the cash register of the staff at the subway station next to him, and his movements froze; the bus driver who was pulling into the station also temporarily stepped on the brakes. , everyone in the entire carriage was listening to the sound from the cash register...
This city that is crazy about rugby is now pausing time because of rugby.
Jonathan Baldwin, who was sitting next to the hospital bed and waiting for his brother, showed a smile, and his eyes fell on the figure covered in white cloth next to him, as if...as if he fell asleep quietly, just fell asleep.
"Ryan. Did you hear it? Ryan, Ryan!" Jonathan called out in a low voice, but as he continued to read, he collapsed completely without warning and cried out in tears, "Ryan... wake up. Wake up, Ryan, wake up quickly, do you hear me? We won, we won again! Do you hear me? Bambi... Bambi... Bambi said, this victory is for you Yes, did you hear it?"
Jonathan's whole body was completely shattered like this. He sat there blankly and started to cry loudly, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world in a corner. He cried too fiercely and intensely, and his whole heart curled up, almost To be unable to breathe.
Ryan, you damn guy, do you hear that?
