"Buzz buzz."
"Buzz buzz."
Just as Lu Ke left the press conference, there was a chirping noise behind him. Now it became smaller and smaller as the door slowly closed, and finally most of it disappeared behind the door panel. It was just because the stadium was too big. It's old, and the sound insulation effect of the door panel is not perfect. You can still feel the vibration faintly in the corridor, and the noise is making a slight noise.
It is only now that the real feeling of the game, the real feeling of victory, and the real feeling of returning from injury have gradually become clear. After the all-out game state is lifted, the soreness of the muscles and the exhaustion of physical strength are constantly reminding me of the importance of this game. The victory was far less easy than the score made it seem.
For the fans and the team, this is the first time Lu Ke has suffered a serious injury, and he has missed three games because of the injury. All this gives this game special significance; the same is true for Lu Ke, but in In addition, this is the first time Lu Ke has faced such a major test alone after getting the rugby superstar system, from injuries to Watt. After all, he still relied on his own ability to complete the game, and with the help of his teammates , won the final victory, this game is naturally of great significance.
That real sense of reality filled the entire chest, making Lu Ke feel more at ease than ever before.
He returned to the locker room, and he could see Jim Hubble pacing at the door from a distance, "Coach!" Lu Ke's call made Hubble look up suddenly, his expression a little flustered, he was not good at it. Hiding his emotions, he seemed a little nervous at this time, and the anxiety in his expression became more and more obvious.
"...Bambi!" Hubble was stunned, looking around, his movements were a bit exaggerated, as if he was saying: Are you calling me?
But the problem is, there are only two people, Hubble and Lu Ke, in the corridor at the door of the locker room. The person Lu Ke is calling is not Hubble, who else could it be?
Lu Ke did not expose Hubble's exaggerated performance. The coach still wanted to save face, "Coach, why are you still here?"
Hubble is not good at dealing with locker room issues. He is unwilling to stay in the locker room if it is not necessary. Getting along with the players always seems awkward and awkward. After the game, regardless of victory or defeat, Hubble always comes in a hurry. He left in a hurry again, but today he still stopped at the door of the locker room, which was really abnormal.
"Oh. Oh!" At first, Hubble didn't react yet. He seemed to be wondering why Lu Ke asked such a question. He was slow for a moment and then came back to his senses. "I...I was waiting for Walter, yes, Walter, Several players have some injury issues, yes, Justin and Patrick, some minor injuries, but I need to understand the situation, you know, we have to face the Cardinals again in the next game, and we need to prepare in advance."
The speech was a bit incoherent, and it went around in a big circle, but there was no content - the injury problem of the defensive team has appeared since the last season and has always existed; there was no big problem in this game, so naturally there was no problem. Special attention is needed.
Hubble's performance was so abnormal, and his acting was so bad that he couldn't bear to watch it. It was as if he was witnessing the disaster scene of a hurricane. Lu Ke couldn't bear it.
Fortunately, Hubble seemed to realize this, and quickly ended his "performance" and looked at Lu Ke again, "How do you feel now? I mean, in terms of physical strength and energy? If necessary, Tuesday and You don’t need to participate in Wednesday’s training and have a good rest and adjustment.”
Hubble was still not used to such expressions and content. His words were a little stiff, but he couldn't hide the concern behind them.
As the head coach, Hubble knows better than anyone else the importance of Lu Ke to this team. This is true from the tactical level to the mental level. Looking at the performance of this team on the field today is very clear. Compared with the past three weeks of games, it is completely new and has regained its focus and rhythm.
In the past, people always said that the San Francisco 49ers lacked top stars, and Patrick Willis was the most well-known big-name player in the team; but now, Lu Ke is becoming the irreplaceable backbone of the entire team, and he is still working with Ha Players who grew up playing side by side with Hubble mean even more extraordinary things to Hubble.
Hubble needs Lu Ke to stand on the court and lead this team to continue fighting.
So, Hubble appeared at the door of the locker room, waiting for Lu Ke's return, and expressed his concerns in person.
But this is not the field that Hubble is good at. His stiff and wooden words seem a bit clumsy.
Lu Ke felt the surprise, and his brain was a little unable to react. It was as if he was suddenly stuffed with a ball of raw rice. He could chew it, but it was not an easy task. His teeth rattled, "Yes, I feel good." , there is no problem." After a slight pause, he added, "I will check with Walter later and see if he can participate in Tuesday's recovery training."
Hubble stood there and nodded slowly to express his understanding.
The topic temporarily reached a certain point, neither of them continued talking, and the air suddenly became quiet.
Hubble was a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and broke the silence. "That's good. You discuss it with Walter first and let me know if anything happens."
silence. One second, two seconds.
"Excellent performance in today's game!" Hubble added.
"Thank you." Lu Ke replied. Normally, Hubble and Lu Ke don't have many opportunities to talk in private; but now, Hubble's jerkiness and embarrassment have also infected Lu Ke - just now he was lamenting that he had overcome another difficulty with the help of the system. , and then faced with the sudden shyness and dullness of the head coach, Lu Ke also expressed his confusion.
Lu Ke felt that he needed to save the situation.
"I mean……"
"Then I will..."
Lu Ke and Hubble started at the same time, disturbing each other, and then they both stopped, and the air was quiet again.
Hubble paused for a moment and then said, "Then I will go back to the meeting first. Today's game summary meeting is still waiting for me." The words were even a little urgent, and then he nodded and turned around to leave.
Although Hubble tried hard to control his steps and acted unhurriedly and calmly, his hasty steps still revealed a hint of panic as he fled at the end of the corridor in almost the blink of an eye, and the sound of footsteps was also heard. Fading away, the corridor became quiet again.
Lu Ke couldn't help but raise his forehead. The embarrassment index just now should have set a historical record.
Hubble's concern, however, is genuine. An unexpected injury may become the trigger for the locker room to fall apart, or it may also be a turning point for the team to regain its strength. In the final analysis, it depends on the way the head coach and locker room leaders handle it. This is also what a strong team must do. stages of experience.
Lu Ke did not stay where he was. He turned around and opened the locker room door.
At this time, the locker room was filled with cheerful laughter and joking. There was no big celebration - after all, this was just a regular season game, but a relaxed and joyful atmosphere was surging in the locker room, shrouding the atmosphere. The layers of dark clouds overhead finally began to dissipate.
"Hey, Bambi, the reporter let you back so quickly today? It's strange. I thought it couldn't be solved in less than thirty minutes." Frank Gall stood at the door of the locker room and saw it at a glance Lu Ke joked with a relaxed expression.
Lu Ke said with a smile, "I think they are a little disappointed with the result of today's game." The reporters are definitely looking forward to a more intense score and a closer game. If the San Francisco 49ers lose again, it will be even more exciting. Now - even if Lu Ke returns, he still can't save the defending champion. There is no need to worry about the focus of discussion in the next week.
Gao Er was affected by Lu Ke's positivity and optimism, and started laughing.
After thinking about today's game, the press conference, and Hubble's reaction just now, Lu Ke paused slightly, then walked to the center of the locker room, looked around, and called out, "Guys. , be quiet! Can you give me a moment? Hey, guys!"
"Ho ho ho, Bambi has something to say!" Joe Stanley shouted loudly in a cadenced stand-up comedy tone, and then everyone in the locker room started to boo, which made Lu Ke also laugh.
The cheers gradually subsided, and all eyes in the entire locker room were directed towards Lu Ke. Without the need for too many words, everyone remained focused, stopped the movements of their hands, and stopped laughing and cursing. They were quiet. Waiting quietly for Lu Ke's action. This is Lu Ke's prestige in the team's locker room now.
"We all know that defending the title is not an easy task. Although we won today's game, there is still a more strenuous and difficult long season waiting for us. It is too early to talk about defending the title now. We have no We don’t have the time to think about things that are so far away; we need to focus on the present and take it one game at a time.”
"But if defending the title was easy, it wouldn't be a challenge or a battle! What I want to say is that nothing is easy in the NFL. No one believes that we can achieve a perfect season because no team has ever It was possible to do it; now, the same is true for defending the title.”
"So, no matter what thorns and bumps are in front of us, no matter what cliffs and cliffs are in front of us, and no matter what mountains of swords and seas of fire are in front of us, I am ready for a full-scale war! I believe that we can persist until the end, because I am not fighting alone. , I have some of the best teammates in the world around me! We once created miracles, but now we must put the miracle behind us and start from scratch, looking forward to creating a new miracle!"
"I believe in us! Because we are..."
Amidst Lu Ke's rising impassionedness, the locker room shouted in unison, "Nine people!"
Lu Ke's firm eyes fell on his teammates one by one, and he shouted in a higher voice, "We are!"
"Warrior!" A roaring voice filled the locker room.
Two wins and three losses to start the season, so what? They will fight all the way to the last moment and create a new miracle that belongs to them again!
