Ted Ginn is back, and so is Patrick Willis... Before facing the strongest opponent of the season, the San Francisco 49ers have finally found their strongest form, although they are still suffering from injuries of all sizes. , but there are finally no more absentees in the player list.
"Unfair! Why wasn't I treated like this when I came back? What, are you ignoring my contribution to the team? Or do you think my popularity in the locker room is too bad? This is unfair! I want to protest! I A strong protest to everyone! You ignored me!"
There was thunder in the corridor, buzzing to express their dissatisfaction and depression. This made Lu Ke and Willis both let go of each other, followed the sound and looked over, and then saw a child throwing a tantrum. Vernon Davis, whose grumpy expression seemed very hurt.
In fact, Vernon had already returned to the team when the playoffs officially started two weeks ago. His concussion suspension had been lifted and he returned safely. However, Vernon was not able to return to the starting lineup immediately - Selleck's outstanding performance allowed him to still firmly occupy a starting seat, while Vernon's competitive state was slightly sluggish and still needed time to adjust and adapt. Vernon didn't play in the second half until the divisional round.
"I'm part of the team, too, right?"
Vernon seemed to be joking, but he didn't seem to be joking. It was impossible to tell whether it was true or false. Lu Ke and Willis exchanged glances. In the end, Willis gave Lu Ke a look, and then took the initiative to look at him. Walking over with Vernon:
Although Vernon is a member of the offensive team and should logically be managed by Lu Ke; but because of Alex Smith's relationship, Vernon and Lu Ke can never be considered "friends". They are just closer on a teammate level and have a personal relationship. On the contrary, Willis and Vernon were more familiar with each other in private.
Willis also gave Lu Ke a special look, as if to say: I will solve the problem this time, and you will treat him to dinner.
Lu Ke also gave a complaining look, as if he was responding: Solve the problem first, be careful of capsizing in the gutter.
Willis fired back with an eye roll.
Then, Willis walked towards Vernon, "Come on, man, this is definitely not a welcome party, it's just that everyone happened to be chatting in the corridor. Don't you know everyone? When you come to the team on a day off, you all It was forced by Bambi..." Lu Ke, who was standing in the back, said that he was shot with arrows. "Everyone tried every means to avoid the tactical meeting, and then, things became like this. Everyone welcomed me just like you."
After a pause, he then added, "And Ted." Willis also showed an apologetic smile towards Gene, as if to say: Sorry, I forgot about you.
However, before Willis and Gene completed eye contact, Willis's body movements immediately froze——
Because Vernon pushed Willis away, with a look of disgust on his face, and did not hide his rejection at all, which immediately stunned Willis:
what happened? In the end what happened? Is Vernon really planning to fall out? No warning? Just break up like this? But... why? Just for a welcome ceremony that doesn't exist? What happened during the weeks he was out injured?
Willis thought Vernon was just joking, so he tried to resolve it in a light and simple way, but Vernon turned out to be serious, and Willis was caught off guard.
"You've been fooled!"
Just when Willis was stunned, Vernon's serious expression suddenly bloomed, with a cheerful and happy smile all over his body, and he patted Willis on the shoulder triumphantly, "Welcome back to the ball." Team, how's it going? Do you still like this welcome ceremony?"
How could Willis not react at this time? He couldn't help but grit his teeth and stared at Vernon.
Lu Ke's voice came from the distance, "Run, Forrest Gump, run!"
Vernon paused for a moment, then turned around and ran away. The whole corridor burst into laughter. It was so lively.
On Monday, the rest day, the San Francisco 49ers’ training base was still full of laughter.
No matter who wins or loses in the federation finals, the 2013 season is quietly coming to an end. After more than four long and arduous months, everyone on the entire team is exhausted, and their energy and physical strength are undergoing a huge test. A little bit of relaxation or a little bit of pressure may touch sensitive nerves and then explode in full force. As for the result, no one can predict it.
The San Francisco 49ers have experienced ups and downs throughout the season and are also facing severe tests. However, the return of injured players has given the team a shot in the arm. When the chicken blood fuel is about to be exhausted, I replenished my energy and ran at full speed towards the end of the season.
Putting the season finale aside for the time being, they will go all out to face any opponent and strive not to leave any regrets. Regardless of victory or defeat, they will eventually be able to stand up and say, "I have no regrets." Because I have tried my best to give it a try.
That's enough.
…
After a whole afternoon of tactical meetings, my head was filled with countless information, and the various route combinations made me feel dizzy.
Even Lu Ke is no exception. Now he can feel that his head is so heavy that he can hardly function normally, as if his thoughts are blocked, let alone other people? The conference room was full of wailing, and every face showed an expression of hopelessness. The scene was a bit funny.
"That's the end of today's meeting. I'll leave first. You can see for yourselves whether to continue." Lu Ke said, and then all the players on the defensive front couldn't help but began to cry and howl, using all their strength to express My joy and happiness are finally over.
"Now I finally understand why the offense is so pathetic."
"God, I must apologize to Da Qiao. He complained to me before that the tactical meeting was a kind of torture. I still don't believe it. I think he is making a fuss."
"There's too much information, I don't want to talk now."
This should be the first time the players on the defensive team have been subjected to the four-hour intensive bombardment of Lu Ke's "tactical meeting". The high-frequency, high-density and high-intensity discussion mode is simply life-threatening. The amount of information swallowed up is really too much; but in During the meeting, there was not even a room for complaint. The whole process was bombarded and I couldn't keep up with the progress even if I was distracted for a moment. It was definitely the ultimate test.
Now the defensive players finally understand why their offensive team can display such a varied West Coast offensive system - those wonderful tactics are all the result of hard work, the essence forged in blood and sweat, how can Maybe it's not exciting?
Lu Ke shook his head gently, with a smile in his eyes, "Otherwise, do it again tomorrow?"
"No, no no."
"no, I'm fine."
"We can do it ourselves, really, we can."
All the players waved their hands and denied it. The look of working together made Lu Ke laugh happily, "Don't worry, I will start torturing the offensive team tomorrow. My time is limited."
Justin Smith looked around and saw everyone heaving a sigh of relief. He couldn't help laughing, "Bambi, if you were in the offensive team, wouldn't the tactical meetings last until after dinner time? Why did it end so early today? Already? We have no other plans tonight, otherwise, we will continue for another two hours? "
In an instant, everyone in the entire conference room held their breath. The panicked and fearful expressions were really funny.
Lu Ke couldn't hold it back, there was a smile on his lips and in his eyes, "I made an appointment with friends for dinner tonight. It's a reunion of college classmates. It's been a long time since I've gone out to eat out, and I'm vaguely looking forward to it."
Then, a heavy exhale sounded in the conference room. It was so obvious that it felt ridiculous, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Ke did not stay any longer, "You can breathe now and wait until the next frontline meeting to see you again. At that time, I will cancel all the agreements to ensure that we can enjoy a wonderful and long time. I Promise!" After saying that, he ignored the heartbreaking sounds in the room, turned around and left quickly.
From the defensive forward's conference room to the tight end's conference room, Lu Ke knocked on the door, stuck his head in and called, "Logan, we're going to be late if we don't start."
"Oh, oh, here it comes." Logan stood up in a hurry and waved to the other tight ends, "I'm leaving!"
Compared to the defensive forwards, the atmosphere in the tight end conference room seemed much more relaxed and comfortable. Vernon and Selleck were both sitting in front of the computer busy, without saying anything in particular, so much so that Lu Ke couldn't help but start to doubt. , "Are they playing a game?"
"Haha, we are not that unprofessional, okay?" Logan laughed heartily and walked towards the elevator with Lu Ke, "By the way, do you know what Jay has to say? It’s mysterious, I asked him several times, but he was unwilling to reveal it.”
Tonight's party was actually initiated by Jay Fox. He specifically invited Lu Ke and Logan to spare an evening for college friends to gather together for a dinner. Then, he had something special to announce. ; But Jay has always remained mysterious about the specific matter and refused to speak.
Lu Ke didn't speak, and then Logan smelled something unusual, "Wait, you know? Hey, you really know? This is not fair! No matter how I asked him, he didn't tell me, but how did you know? This guy Jay, I'm going to duel him when we meet later! You know that, right? Do you know that?"
Unable to be pestered by Logan, Lu Ke shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, Jay didn't say anything. I just made my own guess. I felt some clues before."
"What? What happened? Why don't I feel anything?" Logan was still full of questions.
Lu Ke knew that the only way to shut up Logan was to answer his curiosity, "I'm not sure. I still need to ask Jay about the specific situation after meeting, but I think it may have something to do with Emily Purvo."
"Emily Purvo? Who?"
