According to this season's habit, before the team's official training, Lu Ke will first go to the gym to start warm-up training, and then conduct simple ball-holding training. The entire training process has formed a relatively fixed process. Lu Ke still has a lot of work to complete before most of them arrive at the training base.
But today is an exception. After packing up, Lu Ke stayed in the locker room, took out the tactical manual from his equipment bag, sat on the bench, and began to study hard.
The training base before dawn was extremely quiet, as if you could hear the faint sound of the air flowing slowly, just like a gurgling stream sliding through your fingertips; but this silence could not last long, and the trivial footsteps broke the peace, and then Someone suddenly pushed open the locker room door, making a loud bang.
Lu Ke raised his head.
Not Aldon Smith, but Garrett Selleck. After a moment's delay, Selleck saw Lu Ke sitting on the bench, and his expression suddenly became awkward, "Bambi, I'm sorry, that voice just now... I didn't know you were in there, I'm sorry..." Selleck stood there scratching his head and apologized helplessly.
How could he forget that in order to prepare for the Seattle Seahawks, the team went all out, and many players took the initiative to arrive at the training base early.
"Don't really think of me as Bambi, I don't get scared that easily." Lu Ke said jokingly with a shallow smile.
Selleck nodded in agreement, and then took steps towards his locker. However, he obviously slowed down his steps and movements, and completed the preparations lightly, only to find that Lu Ke was still sitting on the bench and did not move. He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Bambi, don't you need to finish the warm-up training first today?"
"Wait a minute." Lu Ke raised the tactical manual in his hand, gestured, and replied concisely and clearly, without explaining too much, and smiled, "You go ahead, I will join in a moment."
Selleck didn't think much, nodded in affirmation, turned around and left the locker room; but after turning around, he secretly clenched his fists: Even Lu Ke studied the tactical manual so seriously. It seems that , he still needs to work harder.
In the next ten minutes, players appeared in the locker room one after another, including Logan and Marcus.
When Logan entered the locker room, his messy hair like a golden lion king caused everyone to complain, but he saw Lu Ke at a glance and started yelling, "Didn't you agree to call me to wake up today? Why didn't you call me? Fortunately, Marcus called me, but I didn't have time to take care of myself, so I ran out in a panic. "
"Forgot." Lu Ke replied honestly.
Although he was telling the truth, he choked Logan directly. Finally, he depressedly gave Lu Ke a chokehold, venting his dissatisfaction severely. All the other teammates around him started to boo.
When Aldon pushed open the door to the locker room, he saw this scene, and his steps stopped in panic.
No one expected Aldon's appearance.
Due to the appearance of an unexpected visitor, all the players in the locker room fell silent instantly. All the cheers and noises disappeared in an instant. From extremely noisy to extremely quiet, the huge and sharp contrast created a strong sense of alienation. Feeling, so Aldon was isolated.
Even Lu Ke couldn't bear it. Such a scene is really cruel.
Lu Ke knew that no one did it on purpose, it was just because it was too unexpected. But... this is the reality. Broken trust must be repaired slowly, but it is still uncertain whether it can be repaired. This is Aldon's issue and also the issue for all members of the team.
All eyes fell on Lu Ke.
"Coming?" Lu Ke said loudly. Although he didn't explain much, the players gradually understood the meaning: Could it be that Lu Ke called Aldon here?
Aldon nodded quickly, looked down at the time, and then quickly ran towards his locker, "I'll be fine soon."
It's three minutes until six o'clock. Not considered late. Although not the best performance, at least I didn't miss my appointment or be late, which is a start.
Logan, Marcus and others all cast inquiring glances at Lu Ke. None of them spoke. They seemed to be worried about Aldon's presence at the scene, and just kept winking at Lu Ke.
However, Lu Ke said openly and loudly, "Today Aldong and I completed the warm-up training together. If you are interested, please come and experience it. Logan, are you coming too?"
Logan opened his mouth to refuse: Lu Ke's warm-up training was also inhuman training, and he didn't want to try it. But he turned to look at Aldon, who was changing his training clothes, and he nodded in affirmation, "Okay. I'll go with you." As he said that, he winked at Marcus.
Marcus also said immediately, "Bambi, I'll come with you."
Looking at their appearance, it was as if Al Dong might suddenly burst out and hurt someone. Lu Ke was also funny and helpless. But looking back on what happened at Al Dong's house before, Lu Ke didn't know how to evaluate it. In the end, there was no need to explain too much, just let everything take its course.
"Bambi, can we really go?" Eric Reid deliberately asked in a strange tone, his beaming expression was like a living treasure, "I have always been very, very curious about your training, but I thought it was not It's a rumored secret, so I don't dare to ask too much. Are you sure it doesn't matter? It would be bad if some unique secret recipe is revealed."
This week, Reed officially ended his concussion injury period. After passing the double inspection of the league and the team, he officially returned. This is undoubtedly good news for the defensive team. Red is two years younger than Lu Ke. He is also very active within the team and can get along with everyone.
It is worth mentioning that Reid has become good friends with Colin Kaepernick, but this does not prevent him from respecting Lu Ke's locker room status and on-field performance.
"Don't worry, I'm going to release a set of DVDs in the future to teach the public basic fitness. You can practice it in advance now." When it comes to talking nonsense, Lu Ke is not afraid at all. He just picked it up and joked about it, and then everyone Laughed.
Under Rhett's gag, the positivity and caution of Logan and Marcus went unnoticed, preventing the atmosphere in the locker room from becoming further tense.
Aldon finished packing up with his hands and feet, and then followed Lu Ke towards the team's gym.
In addition to field training, most of the players' daily training is completed in the gym, including strength training, flexibility training, balance training, etc.
Aldon was a little nervous. He was indescribably nervous, as if he had never been so nervous in his life. Even when he was waiting for the results of the draft in the green room, he was not so nervous. He didn't even know what he was nervous about: it was just daily training. , they are just teammates on the team...but, I can't control my nervousness.
Perhaps, it was simply because he had never experienced such lows and twists and turns in his life.
When he arrived at the gym, Kevin Tolbert was ready.
In the NFL, all physical and strength training is carried out by a dedicated team hired by the team. From training plan to content adjustment to daily execution, everything is controlled by the team. Players must not change the training plan without permission. The main reason is still because of the subdivision of football positions——
The training methods for offensive left guard and offensive right guard are different, the training methods for inside linebackers and outside linebackers are also different, and even the training methods for cornerbacks responsible for opposing tight ends and opposing receivers are also different. . It's not completely different, but the training direction and emphasis are different.
Therefore, the team must select players according to its own tactical manual and style system, and hope that the players will train according to their own needs. If a player privately modifies the training plan and the result conflicts with the needs of the team, it will affect the whole body.
Of course, top big-name players have their own training teams, which is allowed. But their training plan must be reviewed and approved by the team. Generally speaking, as long as there are no problems in the general direction, it doesn't matter.
Tom Brady has his own personal trainer Alex Guerrero. Because of Brady’s unique leadership position in the New England Patriots, Guerrero’s position in the team is also very special. Brady They also created their training center with Guerrero, open to accepting other players to receive training and treatment here.
But later, Guerrero crossed the line. He repeatedly modified the training plan of the team's trainers, and repeatedly used methods of treatment that were different from those of the team's medical team. This caused many conflicts with the team's professional team, which led to Internal strife. But because of Brady's detached status and full support for Guerrero, Bill Belichick did not dare to deal with Guerrero at will.
At the end of the conflict, the team finally issued a ban: Guerrero was prohibited from treating players other than Brady, taking the team's special plane, and going to the game to sit on the sidelines with the players.
No matter what, the authority of the team's training team cannot be challenged.
Tolbert is the team's strength and conditioning assistant. Outside the team, Andre is responsible for Lu Ke's daily training, and his training plans have all been approved by the team; within the team, Tolbert is responsible for Lu Ke's training, but the training The plan was still carried out according to Lu Ke's original plan.
Every day, because Lu Ke's training schedule is different, Tolbert also trains with him early in the morning and in the dark.
Seeing the many players filing into the gym, Tolbert was also surprised, "What is going on today? Are you all ready to come over and be tortured together?"
