"Dear San Francisco Nine, we have just received the definite news from the hospital that Ryan Baldwin, our beloved brother and our sincere comrade, left us forever not long ago. Here, we sincerely invite Each and every one of the nine people present here send our sincere condolences to our partner."
Over the Candlestick Stadium, the official radio broadcast was echoing. All nine people at the scene finally understood, but they were still stunned by the suddenness and shock of the news. They didn't know how to respond, and they just exchanged blank looks. , when the sight was cast into the stadium again, the heaviness and tragedy were finally explained.
Then, the sadness slowly spread.
"We are! Nine!"
"We are! Warriors!"
It wasn't just a rallying cry; at this moment, the entire Candlestick Stadium was one.
Lu Ke led the San Francisco 49ers teammates to the right side of the center line, while Rogers led the Green Bay Packers players to the left side of the center line. The players from both sides knelt down face to face, and then held each other up. shoulder, pray together sincerely, and send blessings and condolences to Ryan.
Not only the players, but all the fans also crossed their hands in front of them and lowered their heads to express their condolences and pain in a moment of silence.
Tonight, San Francisco fell into a state of silence, not because of the tranquility of the night, but because everyone remained silent. In this way, they commemorated the departure of a nine-person person who reawakened the golden ocean. The nine people, the nine people who fought side by side with everyone to reach the Super Bowl, and the nine people who persevered and fought against life tirelessly.
On the streets and alleys of San Francisco, every hurried figure stopped and joined the procession of silence. At this moment, there were nine of them.
Even at those celebration parties, the deafening music has been turned off, and the snow globe lights are still flashing, but everyone maintains silent respect. This is Ryan Baldwin’s moment, and this is Ryan Baldwin Respect earned through one's own perseverance and tenacity.
At this moment, the Bay Area is mourning a soldier!
Lowering his head, Lu Ke slowly closed his eyes. The heat deep in his eyes began to surge again. It was only now that his sadness was able to quietly leak out.
Lu Ke still clearly remembers that after the huge conflict in the locker room last year, he was like a headless fly. He didn't know how to resolve the conflict or how to become a leader. At a loss and confusion, he was visiting Ryan. We accidentally talked about this matter when we were talking about it. At that time, Ryan was still worried about a date, and then they agreed to each other——
If Lu Ke leads the team to the Super Bowl, then Ryan will send an invitation to his favorite to go to the Super Dome to watch the Super Bowl.
Ryan's smile and expression are still vivid in my mind. His hesitation, confusion, determination, and belief are all still clear; in addition, there are also those sincere and firm words - "Please You continue to lead us forward." He looked at Lu Ke like this, expressing unprecedented trust.
But now, Ryan has left forever, and his world is forever fixed in the late summer and early autumn of 2013, at the beginning of the San Francisco 49ers' first defense of the title in 18 years, and then everything Everything became quiet, no more struggle, no more pain, just calm.
Lu Ke clenched his fists, then clenched them again, and the surging emotions finally settled down.
He knows that although Ryan Baldwin has left, the spirit and will will never dissipate. Ryan will accompany the San Francisco 49ers on the road to defending their title!
"Ryan, I haven't forgotten our agreement!"
After taking a long breath and letting out all the dullness and turbidity in his chest, Lu Ke stood up again, and then motioned for all his teammates to stand up as well.
Lu Ke took the lead and walked towards Rogers and gave Rogers a big hug, "Thank you." No need for too many words, a word of thanks is enough.
Rogers nodded to express understanding, and then handed over his helmet, "I have this honor, please pass this helmet to Ryan Baldwin?"
"Of course. This is the honor of nine people." Lu Ke nodded solemnly, and then handed his helmet to Rogers. The two of them turned and left without saying anything more.
Looking down at the Green Bay Packers helmet in his hand, it was signed in carbon pen, "To Ryan Baldwin."
The corners of Lu Ke's mouth raised again, and his eyes once again shone with unwavering confidence. He gathered all his teammates together, just like a gathering during the game, on three floors inside and three outside. The group gathered together, and Lu Ke said in a simple and clear voice, "This is not the end, but another beginning. The beginning of defending the title!"
Unknowingly, Lu Ke's voice had become hoarse, and he was almost unable to pronounce it, but he remained firm, silent, and eyes - his eyes slowly fell on everyone The body of my teammate passed by lightly but was as heavy as a thousand stones. "This is the agreement between Ryan and I. I'm ready. Who else is there?"
Lu Ke stretched out his right hand towards the center.
Almost at the same time, one right hand stretched out and overlapped on the back of Lu Ke's hand; the players on the periphery couldn't put their palms in, so they simply pointed high to the sky. The rising arms are like a dense forest, supporting the thick night.
Lu Ke pressed his right hand heavily and shouted with his last voice and strength, "The battle never stops!"
All the players also raised their right hands high to the sky at the same time, and everyone roared in unison, "The battle never stops!"
…
The opening game of the 2013 season came to an end in this way. After the game, all the players of the home team and the visiting team stayed in the stadium for nearly half an hour. This also forced the press conference to be postponed, but this It is the first game of the new season, and reporters still have enough time and patience to wait slowly.
But after waiting and waiting, they failed to wait for the most important interview subject: Lu Ke.
As one of the core focuses of the opening game, Lu Ke's roller coaster development curve in this game has undoubtedly become a hot topic again. Some netizens even started to complain: Did Lu Ke not fall behind in the score? Will the small universe not explode?
This is of course a joke, people are always like this. They tend to feel good about a hearty victory, but they turn around and forget it in the back of their mind; but those fierce competitions with ups and downs can be engraved in the mind for a long time. Even now, the "Zero Second Offense", "Chicken Soup Battle", "Hail Mary", "Last Five Minutes" and other games in the 2011 season can still be vividly remembered, because reversals can always make people excited and happy. Excited.
In fact, Lu Ke's performance in this game was still outstanding, and the data is enough to prove this.
20 of 27 passes, 409 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, three sacks, quarterback rating of 158.3, and PFF rating of 2.0.
This is Lu Ke’s third perfect quarterback rating in his career, surpassing the outstanding performances of top players such as Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. The number of perfect quarterback ratings is second only to Peyton Manning’s. Four times, among active players, he is tied with Ben Roethlisberger three times - in addition, among other retired players in the entire history, only Kurt Warner has reached three times.
Such an outstanding performance is enough to amaze everyone.
More importantly, a total of 20 of the 27 passes were successful, with a hit rate of 74.1%. What must be taken into account is that most of the incomplete passes came from the opening two waves of offense, and the responsibility is not on the ground. Ke, but it depends on the running route of the receiver, then Lu Ke's performance in this game is even more incredible.
Moreover, Lu Ke was injured!
Under such circumstances, all reporters wanted to interview Lu Ke as soon as possible, and he deserved to be the absolute focus; but at the press conference, Lu Ke did not appear.
"Lu Ke must now go to the hospital to complete routine examinations. His knee injury still requires further observation, so he has to miss today's press conference. Lu Ke asked me to convey his regrets and apologies here." Jim Harper is the head coach. , can only stand up and help block the gun.
The reporters at the scene were only slightly discouraged, and then became even more excited.
"Excuse me, how is Lu Ke's injury?"
"Will Lu Ke's knee injury affect future games?"
"Is the situation more serious than imagined?"
"If Lu Ke is absent due to injury, does the team have any alternatives now?"
"Is Lu Ke's injury aggravated by playing with an injury? If so, then who gave the nod to Lu Ke to return to the game despite being injured? Who can be responsible for such a situation now?"
…
Facing the noisy questions from the entire press conference hall, Hubble couldn't resist. He could only raise his voice angrily and forcefully suppress the noise in the room. "Nothing can be determined now!" We still need to see the results of further inspections when we come down! Everyone on our team is with Lu Ke!"
"Regarding Lu Ke's injury and returning to the court, this is a decision approved by the doctor. In addition to the doctor, including me and Trent, as well as Lu Ke himself, we all participated in the decision. This is a decision Deciding together, we made the most appropriate and correct choice at the moment. Now, no matter what the outcome is, we need to face it together!"
Hubble followed the instructions of the team's press officer and gave a scripted answer, but the reporters were still unwilling to let him go easily. Questions poured in one after another, leaving no breathing room at all.
This made Hubble regret a little: he should have gone to the hospital with Lu Ke.
