"Bala, bala, bala... bala, bala, bala..."
According to his own conception, Red talked endlessly about his thoughts: how difficult Lu Ke's training was, but he still managed it easily; how terrible Lu Ke's intensity was, but he felt that he still had not reached his limit... ...Then describing those training items in detail, he could even imagine the surprised and admiring eyes being projected towards him. He was like a superman, accepting the admiration of all his teammates.
but……
Huh? etc? Why do things seem a little off? The atmosphere and reaction in the locker room were somewhat different from what was expected. Why was everyone looking at me very strangely? What exactly is going on? What, what's the problem? Or was there some conflict in the locker room before he came in?
"Uh...what's wrong?" Reid's high-pitched and excited voice calmed down slightly. In the silence, his eyes quickly looked at him slightly uneasily, and then looked towards Ahmed Brooks and Colin Cape. Nick cast his gaze away from his most familiar friends in the locker room, hoping that they could give him a hint.
Before Ahmed and Kaepernick could speak, Joe Stanley walked out on his own initiative, "Eric, there's no need to pretend, we already know it." Stanley walked over with a heavy and sad expression on his face. With an expression on his face, he patted Red's shoulder gently, as if...as if he was comforting him.
comfort? What the hell?
Stanley continued, "This is nothing to be ashamed of. Don't worry, we won't laugh at you. Come on, go take a shower quickly. It'll be okay."
"What?" Rhett was stunned. He didn't understand what happened now. "What and what? Wait, what do you mean? What's wrong? What shame? What ridicule? Da Qiao, you are now What are you talking about? Why can’t I understand it at all? Can you explain it?”
Stanley looked at Rhett, then turned to look at the other teammates in the locker room, and finally showed an embarrassed look.
This made Rhett even more anxious, "Da Qiao?"
Just as Stanley was struggling, a voice that seemed to be Logan's came from the back of the locker room, "Eric, during training just now, you accidentally leaked urine because you exerted too much force. Although this It's really embarrassing, but we all can understand that Bambi's training intensity is really too crazy. Not everyone can bear it. We all know that we are all experienced, and no one will catch this and laugh at it. Yours. Really!"
"..." Rhett's eyes widened, and he looked at Stanley, who had a respectful face, and then at the other teammates in the locker room. He quickly raised his hands and continued to waver in denial, "... No! No!" He finally found his voice, but he no longer knew what to say. He could only deny it repeatedly, "No, no, no, really not!"
But other than that, Rhett didn't have any other way to defend himself.
Stanley patted Red's shoulder again, showing comfort, with a sad expression on his face, "Your pants have already leaked, don't you feel it yourself? Alas, Bambi's training intensity It’s really not something that ordinary people can bear, and you didn’t even notice it yourself, Eric, don’t worry, we all understand.”
understand? What the hell do you understand!
Rhett looked down at his crotch, and realized at this moment that the puddle of water was not in the right position, and it was too easy to cause misunderstanding! Not to mention other people, even he himself was a little confused: What is going on?
But then Rhett shook his head. Of course he knew that he had not "leaked urine" and was ready to explain on the spot. Unexpectedly, Logan, Marcus, and Aldon jumped out directly, with regretful expressions on their faces. He shook his head repeatedly, "Eric, go take a shower quickly and change clothes. This is too uncomfortable."
The balance in the locker room was broken, and then Logan pointed to Red's crotch, "Hahaha, Eric peed his pants, hahahaha!" All the players began to laugh collectively, even Stanley couldn't hold it back, burst into laughter, patted Red on the shoulder, and showed a "take care" expression, and the hidden meaning was even more ironic.
"This...this is the training...water...water cup..." Red tried to explain, but the beasts in the locker room did not leave any gaps or space for him at all. The collective atmosphere of laughter made him There was no way to speak at all, and in the end... in the end, it became impossible to argue.
Rhett couldn't help but start to grind his teeth, looking at Logan, Marcus, and Aldon who had sneaked up to the front at some point! He started chasing, "You guys! Look, I won't teach you a lesson!"
"Oops, Eric wants to eliminate the witness!" Logan yelled blindly, and Marcus and Marcus ran in different directions.
The other players all followed suit, standing nearby and pretending to be consoling, "Don't worry too much," "Actually, we can all understand," "This is not a big deal"... But those words of consolation were obviously The more you listen to the schadenfreude, the more irritating it gets. It’s really unbearable!
Other players entered the locker room one after another, and then they saw the noisy scene in front of them. They didn't understand what was going on. Stanley, the "cross talk actor" standing at the door, started to explain in detail, telling the story vividly. Here's the whole story - one thing is for sure, whether Red can catch Logan and Marcus or not, his reputation is irreparable.
Unable to beat four hands with two fists, Rhett immediately gave up on Marcus and Aldon and focused on Logan. The two men chased each other in the locker room like "cat and mouse".
Amidst the laughter and noise, Aldon's footsteps returned to Lu Ke's side. Looking at Lu Ke, who had regained his vitality again, Aldon hesitated a little, but finally asked, "Banlan Bi, you asked me to come to the training base at six o'clock this morning, is there anything else you can do?"
Lu Ke stood in front of his locker, looking for training clothes and bath towels, preparing to take a shower, and then join the team's collective training. He turned to look at Aldon and answered the question, "How was the training just now?" Can you still persist?"
"...The intensity is too great. But I can still persist." Standing in front of Lu Ke, Aldon felt a little short of breath and tried to make his tone lighter, but after smiling, his words were still dry. Even the corners of his mouth just raised and then dropped again.
Lu Ke didn't seem to notice Aldon's nervousness, and chuckled and said, "The main purpose of warm-up training is to warm up, not to consume physical strength. I believe you should be able to persevere. After today's team's collective training, the offense The forwards and the defensive line have a tactical meeting where they watch the game tape, I mean, after all the practices, we have an extra meeting organized by ourselves, you remember to attend.”
Aldon's thoughts couldn't keep up with Lu Ke's speed, "Bambi, what do you mean? What do I need to do?"
"Training." Lu Ke replied, "Focus on training. Aldon, the only way to regain your starting position and regain the trust of your teammates is to focus on training. You don't need to please anyone except yourself; you are now What you need to do is to keep up with the team with two or three times the effort, and then become our No. 99 again. If your efforts are sufficient, then everything that should belong to you will come back."
This is the last advice Lu Ke can give to Aldon, and it is also the most important advice: This is a rugby field. Compared with rhetoric, practical actions are the best way to start; similarly, strength and performance are the best way to win again. The only way to trust.
Training, training, training, this is the only way for Aldon to return to the starting position. This morning's training was just the beginning, but at least Aldon finally had a start. As for Wallace, that is Aldon's own problem, not Lu Ke's.
Without saying anything more, Lu Ke patted Aldon on the shoulder and walked straight towards the shower room.
Aldon stood there, a little stunned - he thought that he needed to set an example, or face difficulties, or accept a test, but he made all the mental preparations, but in the end it was just... training? He felt that his positioning and understanding of his career seemed to be somewhat biased. Is it still too late to revise it now?
Suddenly, Logan rushed over, hid behind Aldon, pushed Aldon to Red, and kept shouting, "Aldon also saw it, he is also a witness!"
Before Aldon could react, Logan and Red passed by with a whoosh. Red slapped Aldon hard on the back and said energetically, "I'll settle the score with you later."
The familiar feeling finally returned again, and the fighting in the locker room became closer again. This allowed Aldon to regain a familiar sense of belonging and become a member of this team again.
Turning around, Aldon looked at Logan and Red who were chasing each other. The other players were constantly making interference movements with towels and jerseys, collectively helping Logan to tease Red. It seemed that everyone was joining in. , many people smiled at him, and even shouted, "Aldon, stop Eric, quickly, stop him!"
Aldon didn't know what kind of magic Lu Ke had cast. He just completed the warm-up training with him. The feeling of alienation floating outside the team finally stopped, and now he began to "float" again little by little. Coming back, although I don’t know how long it will take to return to the team, he finally started to come back.
Feels great.
Taking a long breath, Aldon still didn't understand the reason, but his thinking became clear again. He knew that the first thing was to complete today's team training, and the second thing was to participate in Lu Ke's just- The so-called tactical meeting, life once again has a goal to strive for. This finally put his feet on the ground.
