There seems to be something wrong with the development of the matter. Lu Ke and Rogers were both interviewed on the team's official media day on Wednesday. One was in San Francisco and the other was in Green Bay. However, the two players' shouting from a distance was passed by reporters. The real-time questions and updates of the forums are wonderfully integrated together, creating a harmonious and harmonious scene that makes people laugh.
This...isn't this situation quite right? Why does it feel weird?
It's not because the two people are singing in harmony, but because there is no smell of gunpowder between the two people at all! Shouldn't this be a life-or-death showdown? Shouldn't this be a life-and-death confrontation full of gunpowder? Shouldn't this be a tough fight with gritted teeth?
What the hell is going on now! What the hell!
Reporters said: What a scam!
They don't want to watch "commercial bragging", it's really boring! They want to see the fight, they want to see the scolding, they want to see the fight, they want to see the bloody battle, they want to see the two quarterbacks with red faces and eager to strangle each other to death! The eight o'clock love soap operas nowadays are really boring, okay? Even elementary school students don’t watch it!
A roll of the eyes was the only response.
But in fact, not only Lu Ke and Rogers, but other players from the two teams also expressed their friendship. The warm and harmonious atmosphere is really uncomfortable. Is this still a wild card game?
"Green Bay is a respectable team and we need to use all our strength to face our opponents."
"The defending champions still have strong strength. They are the favored team. We will work hard to see if we can win a miracle in the end."
"I watched their game against Chicago, and not only Rodgers, but their defense and offense both showed great performance."
"Our only advantage is probably at home, but everyone knows that San Francisco is the better team, and I totally respect them."
"I love Lambeau Field, they have the cutest fans there."
"We welcome nine people to Green Bay to watch the game, and while there may be no tickets available at Lambeau Field, our team bar is always open to welcome friends."
This...such a harmonious scene left the media reporters completely helpless. Even if they wanted to sow discord and deliberately create some commotion, they were directly exposed by the fans on social networks——
Now there is a harmonious scene among the die-hard fans. They have expressed respect for each other and said that they will go all out in the face of victory. There is no smell of gunpowder at all. It seems to be an atmosphere of humility, courtesy and respect for each other. As for those words that try to sow discord and stir up trouble, they all become "Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror: he is not a human being inside and outside." So, what else can reporters do?
Choose death.
What exactly is going on? Are the fans of both teams collectively going crazy?
The NFL has entered the playoffs with a single-elimination system. Every game is a life-and-death duel. Any bit of kindness and tolerance may become a turning point that ruins the entire game——
Whether it's a team, a player, or a fan, they all eagerly desire that their team can continue to advance step by step on the road to the playoffs, making full progress towards the championship and glory, humbly Being friendly can win hearts, but it cannot win victory.
Even if it's not a rival in the same district, even if it's not a national derby, every matchup is bound to be full of sparks, because every time you stand on the court may be the last time this season, and every team is standing on a tightrope. Moving forward on the rope, the decisiveness of killing the opponent is the most exciting part of the knockout round. "It is not the stronger side that wins, but the more eager side." This is the truth.
The San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers, who will face each other in the wild card game this week, showed a humility, courteousness, and harmony between each other. This also surprised all the news media. It can even be said that It's extremely disappointing; and it's not just between Lu Ke and Rogers, not just between the players, even the loyal fans who are like powder keg, the friendly atmosphere is continuing to spread.
But why?
Don’t both teams want to win? Do they still want to give up victory to the other party? Did the wolves suddenly turn into sheep?
of course not.
Everyone longs for victory and everyone strives for it; but personal attacks and wanton abuse outside the stadium are never the best way to win.
Fans of both teams expressed the same sentiment:
After a season plagued by injuries, opponents still found the key to victory amidst troughs and difficulties, and finally successfully reached the playoffs. This is a journey worthy of respect. As fans, they themselves have experienced it personally. The ups and downs and twists and turns, better than anyone else, understands how much effort the opponent has put in, which also makes the two teams have a tacit understanding of sympathy for each other; the showdowns in the wild card round are also about standing on the edge of the cliff and giving it a try. They both showed enough respect for each other's courage and morale.
But in fact, the real tacit understanding between the two teams can be traced back to the opening game of this season——
After experiencing the regretful death of Ryan Baldwin, Lu Ke endured the pain and injury and stepped onto the field again, completing the game with great perseverance and winning.
For the team and most fans, this is actually a very, very irresponsible behavior, because Lu Ke must be responsible for the entire team and all fans. Lu Ke must also be responsible for his own career. He cannot Acting so willfully and impulsively, the passionate youth is a plot in Japanese comics, but it should not appear in real life.
But Green Bay fans are an exception.
The residents of the entire town have dedicated all their enthusiasm and loyalty to one team, and the only team, from generation to generation. They hope that this team will be flesh and blood, with emotions and bonds, instead of being completely reduced to a tangle of victory and interests, cold and without any warmth.
They knew that Lu Ke's behavior was incorrect, but they were deeply moved by Lu Ke's loyalty. That strong but heroic commitment was enough to touch the hearts of every Green Bay fan - because of Ryan Baldwin Like them, he has dedicated all his life to this team. Perhaps standing on the field, his contribution is only his beating heart, but that is all he has. After all the light shines, Nothing is left.
After the game, Lu Ke did not celebrate the victory. He dragged his injured leg back to the court, greeted his teammates and all the fans, and sent Ryan off with that dazzling sea of red. The silence awakened the heartbeat rhythm more powerfully than ever.
Green Bay fans don't like defeat - it can even be said to hate defeat. In the face of failure, even their own players do not hesitate to curse; but at that moment of that day, all Green Bay fans were as if they were their own players. As a team member, he covered the beating position of his heart with his right hand and paid his highest respect to Ryan.
As a loyal and ardent fan, Ryan was with them. Whether it's Green Bay or San Francisco, they are all a group of ordinary fans who are obsessed with football, there is no difference.
In addition, during the previous season's matchup, Lu Ke's friendliness and cordiality left a deep impression on Lamborghini Stadium, which also laid the foundation for Green Bay fans to have an extra appreciation for the San Francisco 49ers. Empathy, that sense of feeling brings the two teams closer together.
Whether it was a coincidence or a mistake, everything allowed the two teams to establish a bond. All the fans remained rational and did not impulsively break the news under the provocation of the media or the stimulation of the knockout rounds. The abuse only strengthened my will to win!
In the wild card match, the two teams will engage in a head-to-head battle of life and death for the first time. Only the winner can advance to the next round with their heads held high. Both teams will go all out to win, and they will never be "friendly" with their opponents. Relationship" and being soft-on the contrary, the greatest respect for the opponent always comes from going all out on the field, defeating the opponent head-on with one's strongest strength, and giving the opponent the most noble treatment.
Both teams will try their best to defeat their opponents!
But matters concerning victory, defeat, and the game should be settled on the field. There is absolutely no need to intensify conflicts by verbally abusing each other. The two teams will defeat each other through an upright contest, and the team that performs better will Will win, that's the best way.
It was so simple, so all the fans of the two teams did not quarrel on social networks, and even showed a happy scene:
"San Francisco is very good, but Green Bay will definitely have the last laugh."
"Green Bay is a respectable opponent and that's why we beat them."
"Lu Ke and San Francisco proved that the defending champion is still the most noteworthy team, but we still have the ability to defeat our opponents, and we will never show mercy."
"No one can underestimate Green Bay. Don't underestimate them just because of their regular season record. San Francisco will keep up its spirits and face its opponents at the highest level. The victory will eventually belong to us!"
"Let's compete openly on the field!"
"We will prove that we are worthy of victory!"
Different from the violent conflicts in the other three wild card games, the online language in this wild card game was peaceful and harmonious. The scene was a great spectacle, but for the fans of the two teams, they were indifferent to each other. Admiration is also mutual respect, because they all know clearly what kind of energy their opponents have, and any slightest contempt is a ridicule to themselves.
When the San Francisco 49ers officially arrived at Lambeau Field in Green Bay to adapt to the venue, the home fans expressed their welcome in a very special way:
Welcome your most respected opponent to the stage!
