Looking through the window of the team bus, the boundless red sea spread out in a mighty manner, surrounding the entire Candlestick Park.
Aldon Smith felt slightly nervous.
This is obviously not the first time that Aldon has experienced such a scene. In every home game in the past two seasons, they can almost see such a grand scene, from the thrilling red ocean to the dazzling golden ocean, the bright colors It has become the most brilliant light in this stadium.
However, something seems different today.
It's not because he returned to the starting position - he is still a substitute in this game, and the coaching staff has seen his performance on the training field, which is still not enough. It is only Thursday and Friday; but because ...He couldn't say exactly why.
It just felt like he had truly become a Niner.
It's a bit strange to put it this way, because he is a player of the San Francisco 49ers from beginning to end. After experiencing the rapid rise of his rookie season and the full explosion of his sophomore season, and experiencing the shock and excitement of the golden ocean, he has always been a ball player. A member of the team, under the leadership of Lu Ke, reached the top with a complete victory record. He has experienced all of this and is an important part of the team.
However, the feeling today is something I have never experienced before. It is as if... it is as if the hotness and heat can be clearly felt in the blood, because it is so turbulent that the heart can't help but tremble slightly. , no words can describe my true feelings, and then a word came to my mind, the most appropriate and perfect word, "Nine People".
Yes, he was a Niner. That's all, that's enough.
Now, Aldon's emotions are still a bit complicated and superficial, and he cannot completely distinguish them. He is not sure what happened to him, and he cannot predict what will happen in the future. Vaguely, he cast his sight on Above the back of the man wearing jersey No. 14.
Everything seems to have gradually changed since the roaring and roaring that night. He is still full of confusion and confusion, but as long as he follows that figure and goes step by step, maybe one day in the future, he will be able to find the answer and find his true position in the alliance.
"Aldon? What are you doing standing still? Move forward!" A voice came from behind, interrupting Aldon's thoughts, and he quickly stepped forward.
The San Francisco 49ers team bus did not go directly into the stadium, but stopped at the entrance of the Candlestick players. Just like the first day of the mandatory training camp back in the offseason, the players were welcomed by the fans and entered one after another. Stadium, receiving cheers and support from fans.
However, today's situation is slightly different.
The nine people lined up on both sides of the aisle neither roared nor shouted. All the fans in attendance were uniformly wearing the red home jerseys of the San Francisco 49ers, holding red support scarves and placing them on their chests above their hearts. , looking at every player present with a determined and enthusiastic, focused and crazy gaze.
The red ocean is so quiet and peaceful, like a sleeping ocean. The slow waves are gently rippling in the breeze. The quiet beauty is intoxicating; but the excitement and excitement flowing under the calm surface are fading. Surging, with the purest and simplest faith, we stand unswervingly beside the players - fighting side by side!
That quiet and solemn power burst out completely in the dazzling red, deeply touching every San Francisco 49ers player.
Even players like Ankuang Boldin, who just joined the team this season, can't help but feel a little hot in their eyes at this time. The closely connected fetters firmly connect the players and fans, the team and the city. No matter what difficulties or dangers, they will always have the strongest and most solid backing.
Aldon stared at Lu Ke's back walking directly in front of him. His slender and well-proportioned body straightened up unyieldingly, and he strode forward with his head held high. Every step was so firm and powerful.
Unknowingly, Ardon also quietly opened his shoulders, straightened his waist, took steps with his head held high, and faced the scorching gazes of the audience uprightly, wearing this ninety-nine The No. 1 jersey began to become heavier, and the team emblem, which had never seemed to have any meaning, began to heat up slightly. Intangible responsibilities were pressed on the shoulders layer by layer, but they also forced He puffed out his chest more and more firmly and forcefully.
Even in order to live up to this trust, he could not bend his spine.
Aldon gritted his teeth and pushed harder. The unprecedented feeling was flowing in his chest. For the first time in his career, which was not long but not short either, he felt the power of the team. Sincerely To be honest, it is definitely not as simple as a slogan or a roar.
He was a Niner, and, he was thankful for it.
Facts have proven that this is destined to be a unique game in the history of the NFL. Regardless of the game process and the outcome, its uniqueness can be felt from the pre-game welcome ceremony.
The nine people welcomed all the players of the San Francisco 49ers in a solemn and solemn manner. Combined with the hot topic on social networks before the game, the sense of historical depth slowly seeped out. Not only the team has a long and The long history is also the accumulation and foundation of fans after experiencing magnificent events:
They will never be afraid of any difficulties.
Then, the nine people welcomed the arrival of the Seattle Seahawks team bus in the same way. There was no roaring, no cursing, and no confrontation. The whole audience performed a gaze ceremony, but the scorching gaze clearly conveyed the turbulence and heat of the red ocean. The pressure created invisibly was simply a form of torture.
Every journalist who arrived at the scene can testify: being there, the unspeakable huge pressure is even more terrifying than the overwhelming cheers and curses. The power of silence is in the vast and magnificent red ocean. Bit by bit, a majestic momentum erupted, enough to make a weak person with a weak mind begin to feel weak at the knees and unable to even stand firmly.
Rumor has it that after the Seattle Seahawks players entered the stadium, many of them yelled and cursed in the locker room, but they were unable to do anything to the opponent. Such mental torture was simply a new trick!
Twelve people have their own way of supporting each other, and the Guinness record of volume repeatedly set at the Century Chain Stadium is the best proof.
And the nine people also have their own support methods. Candlestick Stadium is still the devil's home stadium that makes people talk about it in the entire league——
After the game, major news media reported on the grand occasion. Pictures and words could only describe one-tenth of the atmosphere, but it still frightened many players. They all hurriedly expressed: They are absolutely Not wanting to face such a home court is torture!
The side also proved once again: the mortal enemy in the same district has never let go of his opponent! Fight until death, just fight until death!
…
Standing in the locker room, the San Francisco 49ers were ready to go on the court, and all eyes were directed towards Lu Ke.
Lu Ke took a deep breath and said, "We are facing the most powerful opponent this season. All pre-match interviews are truthful. Respect for your opponent is respect for yourself. Only by truly realizing the comparison of strengths between the two sides can we win the game." We need to position ourselves right. Even though I hate the opponent standing on the opposite side of the court to my core, it does not affect my recognition of their strength at all. There is no need for us to deceive ourselves. They are the stronger team."
This is the truth!
"But the strength of our opponents does not mean that we are showing weakness, and it does not mean that we give up!" Lu Ke's voice gradually rose, "We are still the same team, even if we face no matter how powerful the opponent is, we will never give up. A team that will be easily defeated! Since last season, we have been the underdog, we have been the dark horse, no one is optimistic about us! But we have moved forward step by step and become the defending champion this season!"
"Let me tell you, there is nothing more exciting and happier than defeating a powerful opponent! Only by constantly challenging the limits can we continue to improve ourselves! The stronger the opponent, the more outstanding the grindstone! Now, such an opportunity It's in front of us again! I will go all out! I will give my best! I will go upstream! I will step on the corpses of my opponents and move towards the playoffs! Because we are warriors! And because we are nine people !”
"I'm ready! We've been waiting for too long for today! So now, what should we do?" Lu Ke clenched his fists and yelled crazily at the teammates in front of him.
"Fight!" Ardon roared in response, his enthusiasm and passion unreservedly released.
"Fight!" Lu Ke also shouted crazily along with Aldon. He slammed the door of the locker with his right fist, then raised his fist high and shouted loudly, "Let Let’s fight together!”
After saying that, Lu Ke turned around first, shouted "fight" and ran out of the field.
The San Francisco 49ers players also followed suit. Like an army, they chanted "Fight" heartily, clenched their fists, ignited their passion, and rushed out in a swarm toward the court.
"fighting!"
"fighting!"
"fighting!"
It's a battle! A fight with no retreat! There is no choice to fight! And they are ready for a bloody battle! If this battle is destined to have only one side survive to the end, then they are already ready to see red with their bayonets! Now, let this battle officially begin!
