In the team's office building, there are separate rooms, and each position on the field has its own exclusive meeting room, quarterback meeting room, wide receiver meeting room, safety guard meeting room... and so on. wait.
This is mainly because the NFL's tactical manual is too complicated and profound. Each position needs to slowly discuss and digest its own tactical system internally. They need a learning space and discussion space, so they have their own conference room sometimes. , you can even see the players memorizing the tactical manual over and over again as if participating in a memorization contest. That scene has nothing to do with competitive sports.
Lu Ke pushed open the ajar door of the linebacker team's conference room, stuck his head in, and turned on the switch on the wall. Orange lights fell down, and the whole room became brighter. "I thought I saw it wrong." I didn’t expect it to be you. Isn’t your linebackers’ tactical meeting over?”
Just as he was moving forward in a straight line, Lu Ke's peripheral vision faintly caught the dim light from the computer screen coming from the linebacker team's conference room, and he outlined an outline of a figure.
For others, a slight glance while passing by may not notice anything abnormal at all; but for quarterbacks, they must multi-task to judge the situation on the field with their peripheral vision. This is also the invisibility of the quarterback. One of his talents, Lu Ke noticed the blurry figure.
He had no special thoughts when he passed by. After passing by, he thought about it carefully in his mind. He always felt that it was Aldon Smith, so he went back to confirm.
I didn’t expect that it was really Aldong.
Aldon held his head in his hands and sat in front of the computer screen in a daze. The suddenly bright light made him frown slightly. All his five senses were squeezed together. His first reaction was to close his eyes. After hearing Lu Ke's voice, he reopened his eyes, but his reaction seemed a bit slow. He hesitated for a long time before answering, "...Yes, it's over."
Lu Ke noticed that Aldong was in poor condition, and his whole mood seemed a little depressed.
In fact, Aldon's condition has not been very good in the past three weeks. But Lu Ke himself is also facing many problems. The important responsibilities of the offensive team and his own state are being adjusted. His intention to help Aldon is very limited. At most, he only urges Aldon to participate in training on time every day.
When facing difficulties, solving problems, and finding a way out, bystanders can only give their opinions and help, but the real key is always in the hands of those involved. This is true of competitive sports, and so is life.
He sighed softly in his heart, but Lu Ke still said, "Aldon, if you need help, you know, I will always be here."
This was an ordinary sentence, but Aldon couldn't help but become excited, raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and said with great excitement, "Really? Is this really true? Are you really still here?" Didn’t you give up on me? So, why am I still sitting on the bench when the team’s defense is facing such a dilemma? Why is it that the team is now proactively fighting against its rivals in the same conference, but I feel like I’m not one of them at all?”
"It's like the accident at the training ground today. Everyone is laughing, you are laughing too, and the coach is also laughing, but I am the only one who can't laugh. I just feel like an outsider, even though I belong to this team. I'm a member of the team, but none of this has anything to do with me! What the hell is going on? Bambi, tell me, am I still a niner? Why doesn't anyone consider me a member of this team? A member?"
"I can't feel it! I can't feel it at all! What is going on, can you tell me?"
"You said you could help me, but why didn't I feel it at all? Why! Aren't you going to help me? Why are you still standing by and watching? Tell me, what is going on? What the hell is this? what's up!"
Aldon roared at Lu Ke with emotion, not angry or irritable, but more confused and incomprehensible, just like a beast trapped in a cage, trying to get rid of the restraints and imprisonment, but not knowing that he should What should I do? I can only use my own body to continue to collide until my body is covered with bruises and blood. I lie exhausted on the ground, and then stare at the outside world with sadness and confusion.
To be honest, Lu Ke couldn't understand Aldon's confusion and difficulty.
Because he's not a genius, never has been.
The gains and progress that others can achieve with just a fraction of their effort may not necessarily be rewarded even if they work ten times or even a hundred times. God knows how much he once envied Logan, who seemed to be able to meet the team's standards without training at all; but he tried his best to participate in the training, but it was still not enough, far from enough. That kind of powerlessness and helplessness really makes people full of frustration.
But youth is like this, even if you know it is wrong, you will rush into it unreasonably; even if you know you are hitting the wall, you will still hit your head and bleed; even if you know that giving up is the wise choice, you will stupidly go around in circles; even Even if he knows that he is making a mistake, he still refuses to admit his mistake, and then just moves forward regardless of it, even if he is the enemy of the world, right?
He always believed that his dream was everything to him.
Perhaps, by giving up football, he can see a broader and more splendid world. After all, life is not just about football: he can become an excellent reporter, he can find a position in other sports, he can choose Start your own business to success...
But his idea is different. He persists, works hard, struggles, and is stupid. This is youth. Because when we grow up, we begin to become mature, wise, and sophisticated. We begin to be afraid of injury, risk, and failure, so we begin to become conservative, stable, and ordinary. The so-called growing up, It is to smooth out all the edges and corners of youth bit by bit and turn them into countless ordinary appearances in society. So, what is the meaning of life if youth is neither foolish nor adventurous nor adventurous?
The meaning of dreams has never been about "realization", but the process of continuous efforts, struggle and perseverance in order to realize them.
So, he knew what he was doing, just like Foolish Old Man moving mountains, but he still persisted. He envied Logan, but he would not be jealous of Logan, because he would spend more time training, and he would be able to reap the fulfillment and joy of sweating, which also made him cherish his gains more and more. Success was too simple for Logan, and he Instead, they don’t know how to cherish it.
In the past, those useless efforts that seemed to have no meaning became Lu Ke's most valuable asset after entering the alliance. Then it became that Logan envied Lu Ke. He envied Lu Ke’s perseverance and persistence. He envied Lu Ke’s tenacity and strength. He also envied Lu Ke’s focus and devotion. Now, Logan is following Lu Ke, Follow Lu Ke’s footsteps and move forward together.
Lu Ke is not a genius. In order to stand on this rugby field, he must exert all his efforts. Even with the help of the rugby superstar system, he never relaxes for a minute because he knows that he He is not a genius. Every progress and every bit of growth must be accumulated in a down-to-earth manner. There are no shortcuts!
Therefore, he could not understand the confusion of geniuses.
Those geniuses, their success comes too easily and simply. It seems that they can easily stand on the top of the world without spending any effort, and then see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance. So, what’s next? After reaching the top, what should be done next? Just like the challenge of mountain climbing, after completing the summit of Mount Everest, what else can they challenge?
For a once-in-a-century talent like Randy Moss, it seems that no training is needed at all. He knows how he should run, he knows how he should beat the cornerback, and he knows how he should score touchdowns. It all comes too easy, so he's forever immersed in his own world that he's already perfect and it's everyone else's fault that he can't win the Super Bowl, it's just that simple.
The same goes for Aldon Smith.
He stood out in his rookie season and broke out in his sophomore season. Not only did he win the Super Bowl with a perfect season, but he also became the team's MVP. Everything was so simple.
People are not talking about how difficult it is to win the Super Bowl. Look at Peyton Manning, look at Ray Lewis, look at the top talents in history, it took them so long to realize their dreams, but he only used It took two years to complete, but it was mediocre.
So, what else can stump him? Is there anything else that requires him to continue to work hard? A second and third Super Bowl? As long as he works a little harder, isn't it something that can be easily accomplished? Where is the need for offseason training? The whole world seemed to be at his fingertips, so why did he need to work hard? Why does he still need to spend so much energy?
Then, Aldon hit the wall like this. Before he even had time to figure out what happened, he hit the wall inexplicably. Just like Moss was with the Minnesota Vikings.
Now, Aldong still doesn't understand what happened, and Lu Ke doesn't understand what happened to Aldong because their worlds are destined to be different.
Facing Aldon's cry, Lu Ke couldn't answer because he couldn't empathize with him. He could only help from his own perspective and in his own way. Just like now, he couldn't give an answer and could only ask, "You what do you want?"
"I want to start!" Aldon clenched his fists, as if standing on the edge of a cliff, roaring desperately.
This also angered Lu Ke, who responded by hitting the wall, "Then just work hard for it!" Fupin Chinese
