After saying goodbye, Jonathan escorted Lu Ke out of the ward.
Neither of them spoke, they just walked side by side silently towards the elevator. Although there was no dialogue, everything seemed very natural and harmonious, without any awkwardness or awkwardness.
Fate is really a wonderful thing.
When Lu Ke replaced Colin Kaepernick, who suffered an accidental concussion, and became the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers at the last moment, countless fans were not optimistic about Lu Ke's prospects and even began to complain about the team manager and uniform staff. Stocking up on three rookie quarterbacks is what puts the team in such trouble.
Jonathan is one of them.
In fact, Jonathan's reaction was even more intense, and he continued to sing the opposite. Even if Lu Ke won several games, Jonathan still refused to admit that Lu Ke was a qualified quarterback, and compared with Chris Weir Sen's group of fans frequently had verbal conflicts.
But now, the friendship between Lu Ke and the Baldwin brothers far exceeds the relationship between players and fans. Tonight, Lu Ke and Jonathan bid farewell to Ryan together. In this long and difficult farewell, they have become each other's most solid and important support, and will continue to do so.
The two people's footsteps stopped at the elevator door. After Lu Ke entered the elevator, he stopped Jonathan from following closely and said, "I can go down by myself."
Jonathan looked at Lu Ke blankly, but did not insist anymore. He stood at the elevator door and looked at Lu Ke sitting in the wheelchair. Only now did he finally remember this important thing, "Bambi, what's the extent of your injury?" Sample?"
"Two weeks to four weeks of truce." Lu Keyun said calmly, "The team will announce official news tomorrow. It is not a serious injury. I will return to the training ground soon. In the new season, this will It just set sail, didn’t it?”
Jonathan nodded slightly in agreement, "Come on! We are still looking forward to defending our title!"
"..." Lu Ke's smile paused slightly at the corner of his mouth for a moment. From Ryan to Jonathan to Jiu Ren, this agreement still echoed clearly and movingly in his ears, and then he nodded heavily, "Yes, we still have Looking forward to defending the title together!”
The elevator door slowly closed, leaving only a trace of Jonathan waving goodbye.
Returning to the lobby on the first floor, the sound of the elevator opening the door echoed in the empty lobby. The nurse on duty suddenly stood up with a bang, her eyes locked tightly on Lu Ke, a little reserved and a little excited. , a little nervous and a little excited, seeming to be looking for his own voice and wanting to say something.
But now is obviously not the best time.
Lu Ke just nodded to express his friendship, and then pushed the wheelchair towards the door. The nurse on duty was so anxious that she had no time to think, and in the end she could only shout, "Fight." Never stop!"
This is the current San Francisco 49ers. In the bones of every fan and every player, the hot blood of endless fighting flows. Even passersby fans who have no interest in football can still feel this. The passion and enthusiasm to continue fighting.
At this moment tonight, hearing this slogan from a stranger passerby has special meaning.
Lu Ke's movements paused, and he turned to face the expectant gaze of the nurse on duty. The smile at the corner of his mouth slightly raised an arc, and all the sadness and haze melted away. He also responded, "We can't fight." interest."
A brief tacit understanding was formed between the two people, and then Lu Ke moved forward and left again. The nurse on duty who stayed behind could not help but raise her hands high and spin around in circles, expressing her inner feelings in this way. joy.
Back outdoors, the stars in the sky seemed to quietly become a little brighter, and then you could see Candice's waiting figure leaning on the doorpost. She stood up straight, put her hands behind her, and looked at Lu Ke gracefully. He spoke, but his eyes had already told everything:
She is always here waiting.
In a daze, Lu Ke looked through Candice's shoulder and saw a golden ocean under the dark blue sky. It was raging and rolling wantonly. Deafening shouts and cheers came from far to near. Finally, Like thunder, beating the rhythm fiercely on the eardrums, the "King of the Bay Area" flag fluttered in the wind, causing turbulent waves of people wherever it went, with ups and downs.
Taking a closer look, I discovered that the nine people carrying the flag were none other than Ryan Baldwin.
He finally got rid of the shackles of the wheelchair and regained control of his body. He ran wildly and flamboyantly, chasing the footsteps of the sun and wind, waving the flag in his hand vigorously, as if his hands had turned into wings. When he runs to the extreme, he can soar in the wind. A bright smile breaks out on his face, and he shouts that slogan passionately.
The fight never stops!
Starting today, their journey will continue in another way.
In the blink of an eye, the boundless golden ocean gradually dissipated, and the night became calm again. The stars in the sky fell on Candice's face, blooming in that shallow smile.
"Let's go home." Lu Ke said loudly.
"Well, let's go home." Candice returned with a loud voice.
…
On Thursday, September 5, 2013, the new NFL season officially kicked off. The defending champion San Francisco 49ers played the opening game at Candlestick Stadium against the Green Bay Packers in the first week of the regular season for the second consecutive season.
The whole game was full of ups and downs and suspense, and Lu Ke's accidental injury made the game full of variables; but in the end, Lu Ke still played with an injury, dragging an injured left leg, and led the team to successfully reverse Aaron's victory. -The Green Bay Packers, led by Rogers, had a good start to the defending season, and the final score was fixed at "32:31".
Strictly speaking, both sides of the game were not in their best form, which affected the excitement of the match to some extent. However, the peak duel between the two quarterbacks still presented an offensive battle for the audience, which made people watch again and again. Excitingly exciting, Rogers once again proved that he is the top player in the league, and Lu Ke also proved once again that he is by no means a flash in the pan.
Unfortunately, Lu Ke's injury is still unknown, which has also cast a shadow on the San Francisco 49ers' defending season.
The next day, Friday.
The San Francisco 49ers immediately issued an official notice, briefly explaining Lu Ke's injury and saying, "Lu Ke will be out for two to four weeks to ensure that he can return to the game after fully recovering from his injury."
Not only the fans are paying close attention to Lu Ke's injury, but all reporters and 31 other teams are inevitably paying attention.
The impact of injuries is common in rugby games. Even during the season, one injury in one game may trigger a butterfly effect, completely reversing the entire team's season prospects; for the team and the opponent, it is always a matter of time. Always pay attention to the update of the injury list, which is also one of the daily tasks.
What's more, the person injured this time is the new regular season MVP and Super Bowl MVP.
Immediately afterwards, reporters surrounded Jim Hubble at the entrance of the training base in Candlestick Park. Although the team had issued an official announcement, as the head coach, Hubble still had to be interviewed immediately.
"Everything is fine with Lu Ke, and now his performance is as expected. The injury has happened, it is irreversible, and everyone is very sorry; but we must now see the positives, that is the situation It is not as serious as expected and the ligaments are not really damaged. It is now expected to take two to four weeks. We will give Lu Ke enough time to slowly recover and ensure that the team quarterback who leads the team to victory can be fully healthy. Only then was he allowed to return to the training ground again."
Hubble tried his best to avoid mentioning Lu Ke's injury directly. This was also to prevent opponents from prying too much on the team's information. However, he still expressed more positive thoughts within the allowed range, hoping to bring the team and the team together. Fans calmed down.
Subsequently, reporters raised the question of the candidate for the backup quarterback. They originally thought that Hubble would do Tai Chi and circle around, but they did not expect that Hubble gave the answer simply and neatly, just like before the official opening of the regular season two years ago, Hubble Lin Kaepernick's accidental concussion disrupted the team's deployment. After discussions at an emergency meeting, Hubble made a decision that shocked the entire league. In comparison, today's decision seems much simpler.
"Yes, we have determined the candidate for the starting quarterback for the next game. Colin Kaepernick will serve as the team's quarterback. The opponent in next week's game will never allow us to have any contempt or relaxation. We will return to training tomorrow. When the time comes, Colin will further integrate with the main lineup. Fortunately, in the past two seasons, Colin has been integrating with the team, and I think we can find the right track."
This is how fate forms reincarnation.
Before the first week of the regular season two years ago, Kaepernick was absent due to injury, and Lu Ke took advantage of the situation. After the first week of the regular season two years later, Lu Ke was absent due to injury, and Kaepernick got the chance.
What's even more interesting is that the first opponents Lu Ke and Kaepernick faced after taking over the main positions were the Seattle Seahawks.
In the second week of the 2013 regular season, the San Francisco 49ers will travel north to Seattle and visit Century Chain Stadium to challenge the Seattle Seahawks, who made rapid progress last season. As Hubble said, this is definitely an opponent that cannot be ignored. Now the team's main quarterback has an unexpected situation, which has also cast a shadow over the San Francisco 49ers' preparations.
Two years ago, Lu Ke made a blockbuster debut by stepping on the corpse of the Seattle Seahawks; two years later, it is now Kaepernick's turn to shine.
In addition to Lu Ke's unexpected injury, there is another very sad and heavy thing that the San Francisco 49ers must face before facing a powerful enemy:
Ryan Baldwin, who once set off a golden ocean, could not escape the control of the disease after all, and sadly passed away.
