"Where's your damn captain?"
Lu Ke's scoldings surged, and Thomas Davis, the outside linebacker hidden in the crowd, finally appeared. He had been hiding behind and observing secretly. At this time, he was called by Lu Ke, and he reluctantly left. Come out, greet your teammates and turn around to leave before things get worse.
Thomas Davis forcibly called his teammates to leave, and then walked in a small circle. When passing Lu Ke, he whispered, "Coward", seeming to prevent Lu Ke from an off-field fight. expressed strong dissatisfaction.
Maybe, just maybe, Thomas hopes that there will be a physical conflict to vent all the anger of the visiting team, otherwise there will be no way to recover this shame, and the atmosphere in the locker room will be even more difficult after returning; but Lu Ke does not I hope there will be no unnecessary confrontation. After all, they are the winning side. As for how aggrieved the opponent is, that is their business and not something he needs to worry about. Of course, this is just Lu Ke's guess.
The visiting team players finally dispersed one after another, and in the end only Colin Jones was left behind.
Colin Jones, safety guard, 2011 rookie, the same class as Lu Ke, was once a member of the San Francisco 49ers, and transferred to the Carolina Panthers last year.
In professional sports, it is absolutely normal for former teammates or friends to fight face to face, but this game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers was in such a never-ending state that it remained the same even after the game. It was a bit embarrassing not being able to control the spread of the smell of gunpowder.
However, Colin only came on as a substitute in this game and did not play much role.
Now, Colin stayed at the end just to say hello to Lu Ke. When he was on the San Francisco 49ers defensive team, Colin was a substitute player, and he mostly worked on the special teams. His relationship with other teammates was average, but Lu Ke was a special exception. Privately, they were still friends. .
Lu Ke noticed Colin, took the initiative to step forward and hugged Colin; Colin patted Lu Ke's shoulder and simply asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lu Ke simply replied, and then patted Colin's arm, "Come on, next time we meet, if I see you on the court, I will still not be lenient."
Colin laughed.
They didn't say anything more, and then Colin turned around and left - he is now a member of the Carolina Panthers, and if his relationship with Lu Ke is too close, then his status in the locker room will be particularly embarrassing; To be honest, Colin's special trip to stay and say hello was already very rare.
Watching Colin leave, Lu Ke also turned around, and then saw his teammates who were pretending to be okay but unwilling to leave, especially Aldong, Logan and others. Obviously they were still a little uneasy - because they just They were causing trouble. It was obvious that even after winning the game, they were still being unreasonable and almost caused an accident. Now they were starting to get scared, worried that Lu Ke would be angry with them.
Although he couldn't help laughing in his heart, on the surface, Lu Ke deliberately kept a straight face and didn't speak. He just glanced around slowly with his eyes, then took direct steps and left the stadium in large strides, letting that kind of The nervousness and apprehension slowly spread.
The teammates looked at each other in confusion, trying to say something, but didn't know how to break the deadlock, and finally pushed Logan out.
Logan looked at his teammates in disbelief and cursed, "You guys have no loyalty!"
But no one sympathized with Logan. They just kept waving, asking Logan to hurry up and test Lu Ke.
Logan could only scratch his head and quickly followed Lu Ke's footsteps, "..." But standing next to Lu Ke, he didn't know what to do. He just walked side by side, and then kept struggling, as if Children who make mistakes often don't know how to apologize.
In the end, Lu Ke couldn't help but turned his head to look at Logan. He saw Logan smiling stupidly, showing his neat and white teeth. This made Lu Ke laugh too and rolled his eyes helplessly. "Now it's time to celebrate the victory." The pace quickened slightly, but Logan was still following suit, so Lu Ke had to continue, "Stop following me."
Logan stopped and watched Lu Ke continue to move forward. Then he turned around and raised his hands high, "Party time!"
"Oh yeah!"
There was a burst of fanatical cheers from behind, and the smile on Lu Ke's lips completely rose, and he shook his head helplessly.
…
After the game, Lu Ke did not go to the press conference immediately, but went to the infirmary. Walter did a detailed examination of Lu Ke's shoulders and arms.
Unfortunately, his arm muscles were slightly sprained and his shoulder blades were obviously bruised. It can be intuitively seen that the impact was fierce. Although he did not need to miss the game, it was bound to have an impact on the game more or less. Short passes and The intermediate pass may not be obvious, but the powerful burst of long pass must be done carefully to avoid aggravating the injury.
Fortunately, Lu Ke had no obvious pain and the problem was not serious. He only needed mild physical therapy through massage and other techniques. As for the recovery situation and progress, it will be determined based on the intensity of the competition in the next few weeks - if Lu Ke If you frequently force the use of long passes, the healing of the injury may be slowed down or even worsened.
Walter is still worried about Mikel's collision. He believes that it was intentional. Such a dangerous collision must be avoided even in rugby games.
In the infirmary, Walter kept complaining, "The alliance must punish severely, this kind of thing must not be tolerated. This is too bad! It's beyond the bottom line, completely beyond the bottom line!"
Walter wasn't the only one who thought so. Just look at the confrontation between the two sides after the game.
At the post-game press conference, even though the San Francisco 49ers won a resounding victory, all the coaches and players showed an attitude of indignation and anger. They strongly criticized the collision and believed that Mikel fouled intentionally, and even hoped that Directly causing Lu Ke to get injured and leave the field, such behavior is absolutely intolerable.
On the other side, the Carolina Panthers were also very lively. Rivera and other players repeatedly emphasized that Mikel did not do it on purpose and everything was just an accident. Then Rivera in turn accused the game of "black whistle". He believed that Two wrong calls by the referee ruined what should have been a close game.
"I think the referees should reflect on their work and not target their own pockets. Some of the calls tonight looked like a joke!"
This sentence stirred up a thousand waves. Rivera directly pointed the finger at the referee, and both inside and outside his words accused the referee of colluding with the San Francisco 49ers. This is a very serious accusation.
When Lu Ke arrived at the press conference room after his examination and treatment, the excited reporters could no longer contain their emotions and asked questions.
The first one to bear the brunt was naturally the collision.
"I try to look at this sport in a positive way. I always believe that we compete openly and honestly with our strength instead of stealing victory through shady means. This is the charm of competitive sports. I am not Mick Well, I can't understand his mental state, but I'm more willing to believe that he didn't mean it. So, I'm still waiting for an apology from him."
If it was not intentional, then apologizing is what Mikel should do; but if he refuses to apologize...
Lu Ke expressed his position in a unique way and continued his usual style of neither being humble nor overbearing.
"Rivera believes the referee's decision was biased."
"Then he should appeal to the league." Without any hesitation, Lu Ke answered by hitting the wall, "I just learned from Trent that we will also complain about the multiple rough collisions with the quarterback in this game. Submit a complaint.”
The subtext is: You, the Carolina Panthers, are not satisfied with the penalty, and I, the San Francisco 49ers, are not satisfied with the penalty, so we will leave it to the league's official arbitration.
With such a tough stance, coupled with Lu Ke's "waiting for apology" attitude just now, it can be seen from all aspects that this incident is not over yet.
The reporters were a little excited.
"Before this game, many people were looking forward to the duel between you and Cam Newton. But the process and results were somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. In the end, you ended the game with a hearty victory. A duel. So, do you think you are the actual No. 1 pick in the 2011 season?"
The reporters really tried their best to sow discord, but this time Lu Ke laughed happily and said, "No, I don't think so." Lu Ke's answer was crisp and decisive. It was not surprising, but his decisiveness and affirmation were. Quite unexpectedly, it can be seen that he does not think so from the bottom of his heart.
"I thought the topic of undrafted rookies was already outdated." Lu Ke said with a smile. "I am an undrafted rookie. This is a fact that cannot be changed. Although I regret it, I accept that result. Because At that time, I really didn’t show the qualities that allowed the team to take risks. In the past two and a half seasons, my coaches and my teammates helped me grow up little by little, and that’s how I became who I am now. Use Now that I'm in the 2011 draft, it's unfair to all teams, other players, and myself."
Lu Ke once again showed his broad mind, and his entire vision and vision were completely different.
But the reporters still refused to let it go, "So do you mean that your strength has increased faster than other rookie players in the same class? So you are now better than them."
Lu Ke was convinced by the reporter's ability to interpret distorted meanings, but he still did not panic, "I think the San Francisco 49ers are a capable team; what about you? Do you really think that I am better than other rookies in this class?" Excellent?"
Counterattack an army!
The reporters could only grind their teeth secretly when they saw Lu Ke's calm smile.
