Shift left. Move right. Back away. go ahead.
Lu Ke suddenly discovered that the control of the wheelchair was far from being as simple as imagined. While going around and around, he was trapped in place and unable to move. Obviously, Lu Ke, who had only been using the wheelchair for two hours, completely underestimated this. The difficulty of operating the tool is much more difficult than driving a car.
Looking at the clumsy Lu Ke sitting in the wheelchair, Martin laughed without any shame. He was not at all kind and elegant as when they first met. He looked more like an old naughty boy with a vague childish temper. His true temperament seemed to be further venting his dissatisfaction with Lu Ke's injury, but at this time, Lu Ke felt a little helpless.
Lu Ke shook his head slightly, and then readjusted the direction of the wheelchair, manually adjusting the wheels without an engine. This driving method was really unfamiliar and it took more time to get used to the rhythm, but Lu Ke finally found the direction. , accompanied by a creaking sound, Lu Ke left Martin's office.
Martin's smile gradually calmed down, and he watched Lu Ke's leaving movements: backing up, adjusting, backing up, adjusting again, then facing the door, pushing the wheelchair with both hands, and moving further and further away. The whole movement did not seem to have any highlights. In fact, It was lackluster, but it revealed a concentration and commitment, as if he was back on the court after being injured.
"Thanks."
Martin did not make a sound, but said silently in his mind:
Thank you for finishing today's game, thank you for another wonderful comeback, thank you for leading the team to show your indomitable willpower, and thank you for leaving your talents on Candlestick Stadium. And...thank you Ryan Baldwin for accompanying the team through this journey.
Although no words were spoken, all thoughts were sincere.
As an old man who is about to retire, Martin's career is long and rich enough. He has experienced too many storms and witnessed too many accidents. In order to maintain his objectivity and professionalism, he can provide professional advice to professional players at all times. , he must get rid of his sympathy and empathy and ensure his objective position as a doctor and an expert.
Martin has always tried his best to avoid becoming a fan of any team or any player. He just uses his professional knowledge to clear the way and stick to his job.
But now, Martin saw the passion and persistence in Lu Ke, a figure who kept running and struggling to realize his dreams. He stumbled and stumbled on this road, but never gave up easily. He was full of energy. Keep running towards the goal.
In real life, it is often filled with too much cruelty and coldness. "Learning to give up is the smart choice", "It is meaningless if you can't see the results even if you persist", "Dreams are the last thing you need in life" "Fairy tale"... People always tell themselves this over and over again, regard it as the Bible, and think it is the wisdom of life.
This is especially true in the field of competitive sports. This is a world that pays attention to talent, "99% sweat and 1% inspiration", but without that 1% inspiration, it is equal to zero. If it doesn't work, it won't work. If you don't have the foundation of talent, you will try a hundred and a thousand times, but the result will not change. And those so-called persistence and hard work are not only cruel to yourself, but also disturbing to others.
This is not courage, nor confidence; it is stubbornness, a stupid stubbornness. Hitting the wall but not looking back, isn't this a fool or something?
But, is life really like this?
Everyone is so confident, everyone is so smart and wise, life seems to be smooth sailing after learning to give up, abandoning the ups and downs of dreams, giving up the emptiness and etherealness of dreams, and choosing to be "down to earth" Accepting your fate, can such a life be considered happy?
Sometimes, life just requires a little silly courage; and the greatest significance of dreams is not to realize them, but to make life bearable.
No one thinks that Lu Ke can become a qualified professional quarterback. No one thinks that Lu Ke can lead the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl. No one thinks that Lu Ke can gain a firm foothold in the fiercely competitive league. But... Lu Ke did it, and he did it after all.
In today's game, Martin really saw the unyielding fighting spirit in Lu Ke, who perfectly displayed the "warrior" style. Then he thought of the deceased Ryan Baldwin, and he could deeply understand , the bond between Lu Ke and Ryan is far deeper than people imagine.
Ryan's departure means far more to Lu Ke than just being a fan. Martin can completely understand Lu Ke's decision to play injured. This is not the judgment of a "professional doctor" but the voice of a "professional fan". Unknowingly, he has gradually lost his objective position.
Some sadness, some admiration, some bitterness, and some happiness. Those mixed emotions filled his chest, but he couldn't find an accurate description, and he couldn't vent them. Even when facing Lu Ke, Martin inevitably lost his temper. He truly felt the mood of the fanatical fans.
At this time, watching Lu Ke leave, the bitterness behind the sigh made Martin unable to hold it back after all, and his nose became slightly sour.
"Martin, thank you and goodbye. And... good night."
Lu Ke's voice came from the direction of the door. Martin tried to raise his voice in response, but found that his voice was stuck in his throat. Before he could speak, the office door closed again, and the words "good night" were whispered deep in his throat. With a low surge, Martin's shoulders relaxed again and he leaned heavily on the back of the chair.
Unprecedentedly, he hoped that Lu Ke's injury would not leave any hidden dangers.
…
Sitting in the wheelchair, Lu Ke struggled to close the office door again, but the entire height and distance of the space became unfamiliar, so that his movements were always a little stumbling. He was still not used to the existence of the wheelchair, and his mind Li's first thought was to stand up and get rid of the constraints of the wheelchair.
However, Lu Ke thought of Ryan.
When Lu Ke and Ruian met for the first time, Ruian was already in a wheelchair. In the impression, the wheelchair seems to have become a part of Ryan. He has never left that wheelchair. The Ryan in his memory always appears with the wheelchair; but... that shouldn't be the original Ryan, right? ?
From the beginning of suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to losing control of his limbs and having to use a wheelchair, this is a long and painful process. Ryan must accept a cruel fact: witnessing his transformation from a healthy Falling into a state of disability, he tried to struggle and resist, but was ultimately helpless.
Lu Ke had only been sitting in a wheelchair for two hours, and a huge psychological gap had already emerged. So what kind of mental journey did Ryan go through?
Thinking of this, Lu Ke's inner restlessness and irritability gradually calmed down. He readjusted his direction, raised his head, and searched around, looking for Laihe or Vincent. Unexpectedly, he saw a figure standing at the other end of the corridor. The family members who got up - not only Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, but also Austin Newman and Tiffany Newman, as well as Candice Swanepoel.
It can be seen that their movements are slightly cramped.
They might have been sitting on the bench restlessly waiting, waiting and waiting, and finally when Lu Ke appeared, everyone stood up anxiously and eagerly, eager to step forward to ask about the situation, but they couldn't wait. Fearing that his nervousness and urgency would put unnecessary pressure on Lu Ke, he just braked abruptly, forced himself to stand where he was, and tried to look calm and calm.
Then Lu Ke's eyes were projected over and he witnessed the scene in front of him.
Seeing them trying to get closer but having to pretend to be calm, Lu Ke felt a touch of warmth deep in his heart. These are his family, the strongest and most determined backing, no matter what happens, They will always stand behind them, even if it means confronting the whole world.
Raising his head, Lu Ke cast a soothing look at Candice, and gently nodded his head to indicate that he was fine. This made Candice press her lips hard, and gently nodded her head, expressing her belief firmly: I trust you!
But those blue eyes were faintly covered with tears, flickering slightly, revealing the fleeting fragility and uneasiness of the moment, but they were all cleverly hidden, with straight shoulders and spine. She stood upright more and more firmly, because she knew that now Lu Ke needed support, and they should be calmer and stronger.
Then, Lu Ke's eyes fell on Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning.
Lu Zhengze's movements were slightly stiff. He didn't know where to place his hands at all. He just buckled them stiffly and awkwardly on his trousers. His expression tried his best to look calm and calm, and there was still a trace of emotion on his face. He smiled, but his neck and shoulders could not move at all, revealing his inner nervousness and panic.
Jiang Youning seemed to be much more relaxed, and she was staring at Lu Ke intently. She didn't seem to be unusual at all, she was just concerned about Lu Zheng's current situation; but her right hand tightly held Lu Zhengze's left hand, and the slightly protruding Blue veins reveal true emotions inadvertently. The anxiety of worrying about gains and losses, and hesitating to speak, seems cautious.
Lu Ke blinked his eyes, suppressed the warmth that had not yet emerged in his eyes, showed a positive and natural look, and tried to speak in a brisk way, "Aren't you going to come over and help me? I'm still not feeling well right now. I’m familiar with the basic operations of a wheelchair, so I can only stare here. I could use some help now.”
