Patricia could faintly feel Lu Ke's eagerness to try. The overwhelming urgency and excitement made her mood brighter. "...Our team has such a quarterback. It's really great." It's a very happy thing." Patricia said to Trent.
But Lu Ke's attention at this time was not at all on the praise, but chuckled, "You did it on purpose, right? To whet my appetite on purpose?"
Patricia did not deny it and spread her hands frankly, "This is the reason why I like you the most. That passion and purity have not changed even after three years in the league."
Everyone is willing to do charity work, especially public figures, not only because it is an important part of the public image, but also because charitable donations are tax-deductible in the United States, and many rich people or entertainers carry out a lot of charity work , in order to reduce high taxes; but not everyone can enjoy it, and participants like Lu Ke who show eagerness to try are even rarer.
Not words, but expressions and gestures. These cannot lie, nor can they be shown by those flashy speeches.
Trent sat next to him and chuckled. It was a rare sight that someone could tease Lu Ke.
Lu Ke spread his hands helplessly, "Miss Patricia, don't continue to praise me, otherwise I will blush."
"Haha." Patricia laughed happily. After the smile calmed down a little, she continued, "If we continue to go according to the original plan, then I will not make a special visit today. Things have changed. Before the start of the regular season, we had spent nearly two months formally finalizing all plans and itineraries, and then advancing the relevant arrangements. But at the beginning of the season, the team officially announced that this would be This is the last season at Candlestick Stadium and the team will move to the new stadium next season, which also changed our thinking."
When Lu Ke joined the San Francisco 49ers, the new stadium plan had already been launched. Gideon Yu, who newly joined the team's management in the 2012 season, became a part of the team through capital injection because of the new stadium construction plan. Members, now that the new stadium has been officially completed and will be put into use next year, this season has become the farewell season of Candlestick Stadium.
"If this is the season where the team bids farewell to Candlestick Stadium, then if we miss this year, Miles may never be able to stand with Bambi on Candlestick Stadium. This makes us hesitate and think about whether we should change our plans. "And the real straw that broke the camel's back was Ryan Baldwin's death."
Having said this, Patricia took a deep breath, but her heavy heart still couldn't help but surge up.
"Ryan's departure is a heavy blow. Miles is very, very sad. He is worried that even a warrior like Ryan will not be able to persevere. Then, he... uh... sorry..." Pat Lixia's nose couldn't help but feel sore, "He began to wonder if his life was coming to an end... I'm sorry, I'm a little lost." She wanted to continue, but Patricia still couldn't. After speaking, the words stopped here.
"That's when we realized that maybe the plan needed to change." Patricia summed it up simply.
At this time, Trent could also feel Patricia's emotions surging, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation and complete the follow-up of the story, "Before today, Patricia and I had three phone calls. This wish fulfillment event involved some simple exchanges. In fact, we have been following up, but tonight I heard the complete story behind it for the first time. No matter what, the team will fully cooperate to fulfill this wish of."
"I have never notified you before. On the one hand, it is because the team has experienced many ups and downs this season and the home time has not been adjusted; on the other hand, it is because Patricia needs more communication, and we also need to communicate with Patricia. Fan communication, because it is a home match day, we hope to get the support and help of the fans, and we also need to formulate corresponding plans internally to see how best to realize our wishes."
Compared to Patricia, Trent's words are much more polite and official, lacking that kind of heartfelt enthusiasm, but this cannot be blamed on him, because he is a "businessman" and behaves naturally. There is a difference - the San Francisco 49ers are willing to cooperate in hosting activities on home game days, which is already very rare.
After all, the San Francisco 49ers have really gone through countless ups and downs this season.
From Lu Ke's injury in September to Aldon's absence in October, the team experienced one win and three losses at the start of the regular season, and finally got back on the winning track, and then went to London to participate in the London Bowl away from home. , just returned from the offseason, and regrettably lost Lu Ke's aura of being undefeated across the season.
The team's current record is six wins and four losses, and the playoff spot is still unknown. There are still three home games in the remaining games of the regular season. Any home court is crucial. If there is a slight mistake, the defending champion may be We are really going to miss the playoffs. Under such a background, the team naturally needs to be more cautious.
Patricia didn't mind at all, because she knew clearly that for the professional league, victory and interests were the core, and it was impossible for them to let charity activities affect the team's season prospects - Patricia herself didn't She doesn't hope so, she is also looking forward to witnessing the San Francisco 49ers defending their title.
"After deliberation and discussion, we finally determined the itinerary." Patricia finally brought up the core content of tonight's meeting, "The Gotham Town event will be held on December 22nd, and we are preparing to put this event As a Christmas gift to Miles, I hope all your Christmas wishes come true."
"The 22nd? That's not a game day, is it?" Lu Ke's mind turned. If he remembered correctly, December 22nd was indeed a Sunday, but the San Francisco 49ers' game that week was It's a Monday night game, against the Atlanta Falcons at home, and the game day should be on the 23rd.
"Yes." Trent nodded in affirmation, "On Sunday, we will open the Candlestick Stadium so that all fans can enter for free and join this event, and then our first and second teams will play A practice match allows Miles to stand on the court and fight alongside you."
"We all believe this is the best solution, which will not affect the team's preparations and games, and at the same time allow Miles to realize his dream and say goodbye to Candlestick Stadium." Patricia added.
Trent added, "Of course, during the Monday night game, we will also bring Miles to the game to watch the game with everyone."
"Wow." Lu Ke couldn't help but sigh, "So, what do I need to do?"
Without hesitation or hesitation, or even a formal agreement, Lu Ke expressed his willingness to be a part of it in the most direct and sincere words.
Patricia's smile bloomed again, "You just have to be yourself, and that's enough. If you can stand on the court with Miles and pass the ball to him, it will be even more perfect."
"No problem!" Lu Ke readily agreed, "I will discuss it with my teammates and see what else we can do."
Lu Ke's change can be seen in small details: back in the Golden Ocean, Lu Ke was always hesitant and hesitant, not sure whether his request could be accepted by his teammates; today, Lu Ke nodded cheerfully and agreed directly. came down and took over the task of telling the locker room, because he knew that just like Ryan Baldwin, Myles Scott was also one of them, and they would never give up on any of their comrades- - "Don't abandon, don't give up", remember?
"That would be great!" Patricia clapped her hands excitedly, and then looked at Lu Ke with bright eyes, "Besides, can I make a small request? Trent and I haven't said anything about it. , but a personal request -" After receiving Lu Ke's confirmation, Patricia said, "This week or next week, if you have time, can you go to the hospital to visit Miles? His last time He's coming to the end of his treatment, and we all hope that once it's over, he can say goodbye to cancer forever, and I think he could use some good luck from his idol."
"This is my honor." Lu Ke showed a big smile.
Patricia then said, "By the way, Miles doesn't know anything about the entire wish plan. Please keep it a secret for us. We hope to give him a huge surprise!"
Lu Ke made a gesture of zipping up his mouth, and Patricia clapped her hands and laughed again, just like a kindergarten teacher encouraging a child.
"By the way, do you need me to announce it on social media? You know, we all want fans to join in, and if they are willing to dress up in superhero costumes and join Miles, that should be very interesting. "Lu Ke also actively put forward his own ideas.
Patricia clasped her hands together on her lips excitedly, "Is it really possible? Is there really no problem? Because I know that you have never liked social networks, but if we can help more, let me It would be great if Tantown becomes more real."
"This is a beautiful dream, and I believe everyone is willing to join in." Lu Ke said with confidence.
…
After seeing off Patricia, Lu Ke still couldn't calm down quickly. After hearing Miles's story, he couldn't help but get excited again. He wanted to get on the field immediately and fight for victory with all his strength. In his own way, he ignited hope for each Miles.
Lu Ke returned to the tactical conference room and picked up his equipment bag. He was thinking about whether he should hold a video conference after returning home to discuss the tactics again. Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone standing at the far end of the corridor, looking around. Garrett Selleck.
Lu Ke cast a friendly look and was about to say goodbye when Selleck ran over quickly, "Bambi, can I ask you some questions about the route running in the tactical manual? A few minutes, I promise , just a few minutes."
