"Lu Ke, did you expect such a situation before this game? The intensity of the game is far beyond imagination. The San Francisco 49ers have also encountered unprecedented problems. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the playoff journey? bad thing?"
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Sophie Brooke spent five minutes and was interrupted three times by the urgency and excitement of reporters. The post-match press conference's interview with Lu Ke officially kicked off. The first The reporter who was named broke his voice because he was so excited, which made all the reporters in the audience burst into good-natured laughter.
Lu Ke couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't run away midway. The alliance's fine is enough to take away all my bonus for this victory. I will still complete the interview task obediently." The teasing words made The reporters' low laughter turned into roars of laughter, and then Lu Ke officially began to answer questions.
"Of course, I definitely didn't expect the current situation." Why don't you say politely that the Arizona Cardinals are very good and such a fierce situation is expected? "If I had expected it, trust me. I would have done everything I could to avoid overtime, I wouldn't have pinned my hopes on a 50 percent chance of flipping a coin."
Is this a rant about sudden death in overtime?
Sure enough, Lu Ke was still Lu Ke, always finding ways to defuse the reporters' attacks in his own way. Such teasing and complaining answers made the reporters at the scene laugh.
"Before the game, we knew that this was a duel with no retreat. This was true for both teams. We fully mobilized our state to complete this game. The intensity and atmosphere of the game were unprecedented. I feel like, since we got the final victory, it also means that we are ready to compete in the playoffs.”
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke returned to his normal posture and answered the second question without much new ideas; but the composure and confidence revealed in his words made the reporters on the scene fully feel the defending champion's confidence. The proud gesture seems to be sending a declaration to all other teams:
The defending champion is ready!
"Bambi, do you still remember what happened in this place two years ago?" The sharp question popped up without warning.
"You haven't forgotten something, how could I forget it?" Lu Ke looked towards the reporter who asked the question, and his plain words were both joking and sarcastic:
They are also all about "race". Reporters no longer dare to ask questions about black people, but they still dare to slap Asians in the face——
They will not ask Patrick Peterson or other black players whether they still "remember" those conflicts, but what they think about those conflicts, because they know that the black group will definitely stand up for their own rights and absolutely will not May forget about those conflicts.
But what about the Asian community? Do they dare to be angry but dare not speak out? Even if they encounter unfair events, they may be like goldfish and forget them after seven seconds? They assume that the Asian community may have "forgotten" those conflicts, so they need to confirm before asking further questions.
The difference between the method of asking questions and the content of the questions also shows that on the road to striving for balance, the Asian community still has a lot of work to do. The seemingly inoffensive question just shows that the Asian community is being targeted. The existence of contempt.
The person being asked now is Lu Ke. After using his strength and performance to make a name for himself in the past three seasons, Lu Ke has not encountered similar treatment for a long, long time; but this does not mean that discrimination has ceased. existed, and now keenly felt the deep meaning, Lu Ke stepped forward without hesitation and gave a positive response.
None of the reporters at the scene expected Lu Ke's strong counterattack - they didn't even know what sensitive nerve they had touched?
But this is life. Those who stand on the side of discrimination will never understand what those who are discriminated against are angry and protesting. This is true for racial inequality, gender inequality, and even class inequality. .
Immediately, a small number of reporters at the scene gradually savored the deeper meaning of Lu Ke's words, and then realized that there was a problem with the way the questions were asked; but more reporters still looked confused and didn't know why.
However, Lu Ke is no longer the rookie he was in early 2011. Not to mention that Lu Ke has established a strong influence among the Asian community - he has become the vanguard of the alliance in exploring new markets, and his every move can set off a stir. There was an uproar; just talking about Lu Ke's outstanding performance in the past three seasons and proving himself with absolute strength has made them dare not underestimate the young man in front of them who still looks young. Therefore, even if they don't know what happened, They also dare not further add fuel to the fire on sensitive topics, otherwise they themselves cannot guarantee how it will develop in the future.
Lu Ke's response was too direct and too calm. Instead, the reporters who asked questions needed some time to react. For a moment, they forgot what they wanted to ask. The press conference fell into a short silence - —Slightly embarrassed, Sophie was also caught off guard. She obviously did not expect that the reporter's ability to resist the attack was so weak, and she was unable to control the atmosphere of the scene immediately.
Just when Sophie was about to name the next reporter, the previous reporter finally reacted. In order to avoid having his right to ask questions taken away, he reflexively asked follow-up questions and broke the silence abruptly. "So, what impact does that incident have on today's game?" Because he spoke too quickly and couldn't breathe quickly, he burped after the question was finished, and the scene was suddenly filled with a sense of joy.
"It has nothing to do with this game..." Lu Ke couldn't help laughing, not because his attitude was not serious enough - he was always serious when it came to dealing with the Arizona Cardinals, but because today's victory made the tight The nerves can finally relax a little, "Every time I face this opponent today, I have the same high morale! I will try my best to seize every opportunity to defeat my opponent, and today is no exception."
Although Lu Ke was smiling all over his face, his understatement revealed a crushing sharpness, reminding the reporters present: These two teams are mortal enemies and have nothing to do with the same district. Since that game two years ago, They have become life-and-death, mortal enemies.
However, due to the unexpected hiccups just now, the atmosphere eased slightly, and then another reporter asked a new question, "Bambi, may I ask, when the Hail Mary was heard during regular game time, what was going on in your mind?" What are you thinking about?"
This was a slightly gossipy question, and Lu Ke's tone became more relaxed again, "I can confirm that it is definitely not a 'Hail Mary.'" Combined with the reason for the name "Hail Mary," the humor of the words is revealed. , "Honestly, I don't have any thoughts in my mind, because I need to focus on finding gaps for passing the ball. This matter has occupied all my brain capacity, and I don't want anything to go wrong."
The joking and self-deprecating tone made all the reporters chuckle.
"Bambi, this season the San Francisco 49ers have played against many teams with outstanding defensive capabilities, and you always have to face the blocking of top cornerbacks, such as Daryl Revis, Josh Norman, Richard Sherman and, of course, today's Patrick Peterson, you've done an outstanding job, and the quarterback ratings for the passes to these cornerbacks are really eye-catching, even better than this one. Peyton Manning, who had a perfect season, is even better. Do you have any secrets?"
"Oh, I guess you are not the local media in Arizona." Lu Kexin joked again -
This is a relatively professional yet sharp question. It uses the focus on Lu Ke's performance on the field as a cover, thereby intensifying the originally tit-for-tat conflict between the quarterback and the cornerback. But now because of Lu Ke's ridicule, the atmosphere has become tense. Feeling relaxed again.
Lu Ke then answered with a smile on his face, "Sorry, I can't answer this question. Now I have to start worrying about the cornerbacks' defense against me in the playoffs. I would rather throw away this headache." Give it to them instead of exposing your own tactics and ending up with a headache for yourself.”
Is this a rogue act?
"Bambi, are you refusing to answer the question and then hiding the secret of your victory?" Then you can see Harry Waynes attacking at every opportunity, seeming to be mocking Lu Ke's cowardice, and then using provocation to attack him. Let Lu Ke answer the question head on - or respond to the attack irrationally.
"Yes." Lu Ke replied simply: Who would be so stupid to reveal his tactical secrets?
Because it was too simple and direct, without any shyness or embarrassment, he just admitted it so openly. Harry blinked, and then his face turned into the color of liver at a speed visible to the naked eye. He felt that he He was insulted; the other reporters found it very funny, and the low laughter made Harry feel more and more anxious. In the end, he could only stare at Lu Ke, trying to eat Lu Ke alive with his eyes.
Gritting his teeth, Harry then brought up the follow-up topic, "So, which cornerback do you think is the hardest to break through?"
Lu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why don't you ask me directly, who is better, Richard Sherman or Patrick Peterson?"
Although Harry didn't say it explicitly, his intention to start a war was so obvious that everyone present knew it.
One is a member of the Seattle Seahawks' explosive team, and the other is the leader of the Arizona Cardinals' defensive team. Both cornerbacks were the top cornerbacks in the league in the 2013 season, and they happened to be the sworn enemies of the San Francisco 49ers in the same district. , such a tight relationship only needs a little provocation, and it is bound to be a chaotic war.
So, how should Lu Ke choose?
