Standing at the corner of the corridor, Garret Selleck took a deep breath, and then secretly poked his head out to take a look. Although there was still no one in the corridor, he quickly reset himself, his chest rising and falling rapidly, trying to calm down the uneasy feeling. The mood was slightly relieved; he was holding a long paper tube with his hands intertwined, which was now ravaged to the point of being disfigured, and the corners had begun to fuzz.
Selleck felt like he was about to hand a love letter to a middle school student who had a crush on him. He was so excited and nervous that he almost couldn't breathe.
This description seems to be correct.
For every undrafted rookie, Lu Ke is the ultimate idol, not only because he led the San Francisco 49ers to complete the feat of a perfect season, but more because he proved that every player has potential, even undrafted rookies , they still have the possibility of occupying a place in the alliance, although this is very, very difficult——
But no matter how difficult it is, can it be more difficult than a second-year quarterback leading the team to a victory in the Super Bowl? From an undrafted rookie to a double MVP in the regular season and Super Bowl, Lu Ke’s rise has never been easy. His diligence, hard work, focus, investment, etc., etc., all of this created Lu Ke. Follow the foundation of success.
Among the undrafted rookies, Lu Ke is their target, their role model, and their idol. There is nothing wrong with describing it as "dream lover".
Wait, the target appears.
After probing his head again, Selleck saw his target. There was no time to be nervous now, "Huh! Huh! Huh!" After inhaling and exhaling three times in a row, Selleck mustered up the courage to escape from the corner wall. He came out, but after he came out, his steps were frozen in place, unable to move.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
At this moment, Selleck saw Lu Ke showing a friendly look, which gave him some courage. He once again recalled Lu Ke's comfort and encouragement to him after losing in the away game last week. His footsteps finally He could move again and trotted towards Lu Ke, "Bambi, can I ask you some questions about the route running in the tactical manual?" Lest Lu Ke refused, Selleck added, "A few minutes , I promise, it will only take a few minutes.”
Selleck noticed that Lu Ke's footsteps paused slightly, and his heart was almost in his throat, but then, Lu Ke gently nodded and said, "Of course, no problem, you are always welcome."
yeah!
Selleck almost jumped up, but he suppressed his excitement and quickly opened the paper tube in his hand, "This is my love letter, no, no, no, this is my route analysis map."
Lu Ke chuckled, "If it's a love letter, it's the best one today."
Selleck grinned, "How about I go back and write a letter before coming back?"
"Haha, let's wait for next time." Lu Ke laughed loudly, "So, route analysis map?"
Selleck nodded repeatedly, "Oh oh oh, I'm analyzing this route. Just now during the offensive team's tactical meeting, you mentioned that there are two different running routes in the game, but how should I choose? What? How are the safety and cornerback positions judged in advance?"
What was placed in front of Lu Ke was a piece of white paper in a notebook, which described in detail all the positions and movements of the players on both sides of the offense and defense. Because the routes were very intricate, the entire page was crisscrossed like a spider web. There are countless curves that make people dazzled; more importantly, the white paper has been rubbed countless times, like a draft, and has been used over and over again, and now the corners are already a little fluffy.
It's obvious that Selleck spent a lot of time studying it carefully. Although the method is a bit clumsy, it can be seen that he is on the right path.
In fact, in Lu Ke's view, the complexity and difficulty of the tactical manual can be overcome by professional players, because after all, this is not a game of Go, but the crystallization of the wisdom of the coaching staff, and all tactical combinations are presented in the form of routines. In the tactical manual, understanding and understanding are not difficult problems. The only difference is time and energy.
Except, of course, for the quarterback position.
If Selleck is willing to spend time studying and communicating with his teammates, the level of familiarity with the tactical manual will obviously increase exponentially. In sharp contrast, Jon Baldwin, right down to the playing position, Joe En still made a low-level mistake of overlapping routes. There was no other possibility. The lack of study of the tactical manual was the only reason.
However, the analysis diagram of Selleck's ghostly drawings has an absolute dissuasion effect of 200%.
"First of all, a suggestion, if you are going to build your own route analysis map of different offenses and defenses, please prepare colored pens, red for offense, green for defense, pencil for movement - you can erase it and add it again at any time, etc. Otherwise, wait for you When reviewing, I'm afraid you will be confused yourself." Lu Ke sincerely gave some opinions.
Selleck nodded like a woodpecker to show his understanding.
"Secondly, the core variation point of this offense and defense should be the linebacker. When the tight end starts, you should observe the movement direction of the linebacker. If you look for the dynamics of the safety guard and cornerback, it will be too late to react quickly. Not up to the rhythm of the game, look, here..." Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke took the draft and began to explain it to Selleck in detail.
After all the routes were analyzed, Lu Ke added, "Regarding this offense, you can go back and watch the game video. Before kickoff, my tactical layout slogan has reminded the opponent's linebacker of the position. If you If you can observe the movement position of the linebacker in advance after starting, your running route choice will become much clearer."
"..." Selleck didn't respond immediately. His eyes still stayed on the draft, thinking carefully.
Obviously, his reaction speed was not as fast as Lu Ke's. Faced with such a complicated route and such a huge amount of information, he still needed more time to digest it.
Finally, Selleck raised his head to look at Lu Ke and asked hesitantly, "Can I take notes?"
"Of course, of course!" Lu Ke said cheerfully, "Do you need me to repeat it?"
"No, no, I still remember it now, but I'm not sure how much I can remember after I leave." Selleck said calmly, "I still have a lot to learn."
Lu Ke did not urge him and waited patiently. After making sure that Selleck had recorded all the information, he browsed it again and said, "That's right! That's all! If you have any questions in the future, you are welcome to discuss them at any time. While I’m away, I’m sure Logan and Ted will actively help you.”
"Yes. Yes. I know! Yes!" Selleck nodded repeatedly to express his understanding, but he seemed a little absent-minded and turned his head and looked behind him several times.
After hesitating for a moment, Selleck gritted his teeth and asked cautiously, "Bambi, I know, I just said, I just want to ask you a question, it only takes a few minutes. I have already delayed you for a few minutes, but... …Uh, but, can I take you a little longer?”
"If you want to invite me to dinner, I need to call Tangtang." Lu Ke said seriously, and then Selleck was stunned, and then realized that this was still the "love letter" gag just now, too late. After half a beat, he laughed happily and said, "As much as I would like to invite you to dinner, it's not today."
"Actually, it's like this." Selleck relaxed a little and spoke more smoothly, "Yesterday, several of our friends in the receiving team held a tactical meeting and re-watched last week's game. Video, but there are doubts in many places. We have discussed and discussed, but there is no result. I would like to ask my friends if they can also ask some questions. In fact, there are many disputes between us, but I don’t know what the correct answer is…”
At this point, Selleck paused and his eyes fell on Lu Ke. Needless to say, Lu Ke immediately understood, "So you need a correct answer."
Selleck nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Receiving team?" Lu Ke asked his question. If it was a receiving team, Logan and Ted would be able to answer most of the questions.
Selleck quickly explained, "It's just our own small team, me, Vance, Quinton, DeMarcus, and Brandon."
Vance McDonald and Quinton Patton are both rookies this year, DeMarcus Dobbs is an undrafted rookie in 2011, Brandon Carswell and Garrett- Selleck was both an undrafted rookie in 2012.
All five players are members of the receiving group, but their main work is currently on the special teams team.
Among them, Vance McDonald and Garrett Selleck are competing for the position of the second tight end - after Vernon Davis is out due to concussion, the team needs to find a reliable substitute for Logan; Quinton Patton is competing with Kasim Osgood and Jon Baldwin for the No. 3 wide receiver position.
Lu Ke understood immediately and couldn't help but reveal a smile: This was a small team activity he initiated after joining the San Francisco 49ers. Rookie players and undrafted players united with each other, studied the tactical manual together, and cultivated a tacit understanding of the game. Then look forward to becoming a starter.
Unexpectedly, this tradition has continued.
Looking at the expectant Selleck in front of him, Lu Ke did not pretend to be pretentious. He gently raised his jaw with a meaningful look and teased with a smile, "Now it seems that you are just waiting here to ambush me? If I refuse, you will have wasted most of the night." Just when Selleck thought Lu Ke was going to refuse, Lu Ke changed the subject and said, "Forget it this time, but next time please remember to make an appointment in advance."
Selleck paused and looked at Lu Ke with wide eyes.
Lu Ke snapped his fingers and said, "Why are you still standing there? Our time is very precious." Then he turned around and walked back to the tactical conference room where the lights had just been turned off.
Only then did Selleck react and shouted, "Guys, the meeting is about to begin!"
A group of friends rushed out from the corner of the corridor, and the scene was a bit lively.
