"I never took him seriously."
Looking at the entire NFL league, when players mention Lu Ke, no one dares to make such an evaluation.
To be more precise, no matter which player in the league, as long as he can gain a firm foothold in the league, he cannot be underestimated; what's more, this player is Lu Ke, who played in the regular season and last season. The double MVP of the Super Bowl showed his absolute strength with a perfect performance and created countless historical records, so no one dares to despise him so much.
Perhaps, exceptions still exist, either in the form of arrogant rookies or sworn enemies in the same district.
For example, Richard Sherman.
Football fans across the West Coast are paying attention to the divisional civil war between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks. Even among the entire league, this is undoubtedly a focus matchup, regarding predictions of victory and defeat, and about matchups. , about the game situation, about the grievances between the two sides, etc., etc., all topics are raging on social networks, and the players from both sides are naturally the interviewees.
This is how Sherman evaluated Lu Ke during the interview.
The reporters couldn't help showing expressions of shock, but after the accident, ecstasy swept over them, and the breaking point they had been waiting for came just like this.
Faced with Sherman's provocation, reporters naturally would not be fooled so easily. After that, the "minimum consumption" in the past two seasons is an ironclad fact that no one can ignore. "So what are the five previous duels? What happened? Lu Ke defeated you and Seattle with an impeccable performance."
The reporters' topics did not conceal their sharpness at all, sharply and forcefully piercing Sherman's scars. Sherman roared back fiercely, "I don't care!" he roared almost word by word, "I ! No! Care!" Then he stared at every reporter angrily, "Don't you understand English? I mean! Me! I never took him seriously!"
There are really too many factors that determine the outcome of a football game. The shameful label of "minimum consumption" is a scar on the team level; and Sherman's words mean that from a player's individual level, he He didn't take Lu Ke seriously at all, thinking that Lu Ke was not qualified to be compared with him.
But... this still doesn't make sense.
"Richard, in the previous five games, Lu Ke's passing rating towards the quarterback you were defending was as high as 136.5. Regarding Lu Ke's passing, your game performance was always unsatisfactory, and it can even be said that it was Oops, Lu Ke has never deliberately avoided passing the ball towards your position. So how do you explain it?"
Tear!
Sure enough, the reporter was still ruthless and brutal, showing no mercy at all. In this way, Sherman roughly and cruelly tore open the scar that Sherman didn't want to be mentioned. The burning pain was like applying chili pepper on the bloody wound. The pain that was like water and penetrated deep into the bone marrow made people take a breath, but the pain still couldn't be stopped.
Sherman became furious and stared ferociously at the reporter who was speaking, as if he could eat him alive at any time. "Then, let him try again! Let him continue to move toward Pass the ball in my defense! Let's see what happens in this game! Let that damn guy challenge my defense!"
Without waiting for the reporters to react, Sherman took a step forward and said in an aggressive manner, "I can make a prediction right now: I will intercept all his passes! Not even one." Let it go! Yes, you heard it, no one will let it go easily! As long as he dares to pass the ball in my direction, I will make him regret it! I will intercept it hard and use it again and again An interception to end the game!”
"In fact, I really, really want him to do that! Because it gives me an opportunity to win games as a cornerback! It's an opportunity that defenses dream of! Not just me, but my teammates, Our entire Bomb Corps is eagerly looking forward to it!"
Gritting teeth, this is the best word to describe Sherman's expression at this time. If Lu Ke appeared in front of him at this time, there is no doubt that he might tear Lu Ke into countless pieces directly - with his own teeth , one bite, another bite.
As he spoke, Sherman's face began to distort, and the anger was suppressed and settled inside his body bit by bit. The spearhead of the explosive catharsis was transferred from the reporter to Lu Ke again. Every injustice has its owner, and its debtor has its owner. He now remembered all the reporters' provocations and attacks on Lu Ke, and was eagerly waiting for the head-on confrontation. He was already ready to ravage Lu Ke.
Hardly! Ravage fiercely!
Sherman could feel the taste of blood on his lips. He stretched out his tongue and licked it gently. He seemed to be enjoying the strong smell of blood, and his whole expression became strange and evil.
"How about it? Does he dare to respond to my challenge? Does he dare to pass the ball in the direction of my defense? Does he dare to compete with me head-on? Or is he going to be a tortoise, shrink his head, and continue to pretend to be himself? He is the weak and helpless Bambi, who is always complaining about the slightest injury and is even more delicate than a woman."
As if he thought of something, Sherman suddenly became excited. He couldn't help but started jumping up and down, and spoke in a very brisk voice.
"That's right! That's right! Why not, let's make a bet: Whoever loses this game will shave off his eyebrows. This is quite interesting, isn't it? A team's Both the starting quarterback and the backup quarterback have no eyebrows. They can form an 'eyebrowless band' and San Francisco will be called the San Francisco Eyebrowless People from now on. How about that? This is a good idea, right? Haha!"
At the end of the sentence, Sherman even laughed happily, which was far from the angry look before. It looked like his whole person had begun to distort, as if he was playing out a horror movie.
In the second week of the regular season, Colin Kaepernick and Richard Sherman had a head-to-head conflict. They kept bickering with each other through social networking platforms, and finally decided the winner with their eyebrows as a bet.
The outcome is already known, Kaepernick lost his eyebrows, and lost the unlosable game in an extremely tragic way——
He did not break his promise, not only shaved off his eyebrows, but also took a selfie and put it on the photo wall, because he knew that whether he completed the bet or not, it would become a laughing stock, and his sworn enemy in the same district would never let him go. , in this case, it is better to face the defeat openly, so that the last trace of dignity can be preserved.
This incident has become the most proud and glorious moment for Seattle Seahawks players and fans in the past half season, even more proud than leading the league with 11 wins!
As long as they can see their mortal enemies in the same area being tortured, it is enough to be a happy moment for them! The humiliation in the past two seasons has now become a thing of the past. The tide has turned and it is their turn to fight back strongly this season. How could they miss the opportunity so easily?
In fact, facing the upcoming game this week, before Sherman’s speech came out, Seattle Seahawks fans could not wait to launch the first wave of humiliating attacks on social networks: Kaepernick has eyebrows photos have become their strongest attack weapon——
The ubiquitous photos on Twitter and Facebook have flooded the screen, and this has become the best way for twelve people to humiliate nine people, just like the hashtag "minimum consumption" that once flooded the screen. As a result, both sides now have sharp weapons to attack and humiliate each other, and no one will show mercy.
Sherman obviously thought of the masterpiece he had created by himself, and said with joy and joy, "How about it, does he dare? Does he dare? Does he dare?" That aggressive tone showed no sign of relaxing, "If he doesn't dare , I also understand, after all, he is a weak Bambi, so there is no problem, he only needs to learn how to bark three times at the reporters, and I will understand; or, or send a message on Twitter Tweet, 'Woof! Woof! Woof!' I agree."
At the same time, Sherman also patted his chest hard, making a banging sound, and held his head high, showing a tolerant and generous look, as if "the adults do not remember the faults of the villains", and he was willing to do so. "Let Lu Ke go". The proud and arrogant expression was like a general returning in triumph, waiting for the reporters' praise and admiration.
Arrogant!
There is no concealment and no suppression of arrogance! It can even be said to be arrogant and arrogant!
Although the Seattle Seahawks' defensive team does have the absolute domineering power to sweep away thousands of troops this season, they treat the San Francisco 49ers as an ant-like opponent that is not worth mentioning. This seems to be too self-centered and too arrogant. Don't say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The current San Francisco 49ers are far from "skinny".
So, is this a tactic used by rivals in the same district to deliberately anger their opponents? Or are the Seattle Seahawks really so confident that they have absolute confidence in their own strength?
No matter which one it is, the Seattle Seahawks have indeed shown strong confidence from top to bottom. Not only Sherman, but other members of the "Legion of Boom" also expressed their confidence in this game. Determined to win, it seems that he has completely ignored the defending champion who is slowly recovering.
Even head coach Pete Carroll showed such a gesture. When asked by reporters, Carroll said categorically, "We must win this game! There is no room for negotiation! We will never accept other results! "
There were no unnecessary words, but the unquestionable tone showed an unparalleled domineering power. The strength of "killing the gods and destroying the Buddhas when they block the gods" pushed the momentum of the league's top seed to an unparalleled peak.
So, how will the San Francisco 49ers respond?
