Jay Fox was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling in trance. His mind was blank. He had so many thoughts that he had no thoughts at all. He just froze time in a daze. For a moment, there was the illusion that the soul had separated from the body, and the whole person was floating in the boundless darkness. He could not find his direction and could not settle down, and he wandered like this for a long time.
A ray of sunlight broke free from the shackles of the curtains and fell into the room, tearing through the night and calling for dawn. Jay felt his eyes were swollen so much that he couldn't help but close them, but the dullness of his splitting headache still made him open them again. After seeing his eyes, he sat up directly, walked to the bathroom and started washing up.
Looking at the unfamiliar hotel room decoration, he realized that he was not in an apartment in San Francisco, but in a hotel in Seattle.
He had no way to go to the official press day of the San Francisco 49ers. He did not have the confidence to stand in front of Lu Ke, so he applied to the editor for a business trip overnight. After being approved, he left San Francisco like a bereft dog and staggered to Seattle. , unprecedented embarrassment.
The stimulating cold water was splashed on his face, sobering up his chaotic brain a little. Although his eyes were still too heavy to open - he didn't close his eyes at all last night, and his eyes hurt badly at this time, but the chaotic thoughts finally calmed down a little. A little bit, and then... all those questions came to mind:
Was he really complaining to Emily like that? Did he really think that way, or had Emily misunderstood? Why couldn't he refute Emily or defend himself? Why didn't he dare to look directly into the eyes of Lu Ke and Logan? When did things start going wrong? Is he wrong, or are they wrong? Is his complaint selfish or the truth? What are his true thoughts?
Everyone else said that, "He is your friend and it is natural that he should give you the inside scoop." So is this correct?
Chaos, complete chaos, he couldn't think at all, because he was so deep in it that he couldn't make a judgment because he couldn't see the whole picture, and then he was trapped in place.
What should he do now? He didn't even know how things evolved to this point - didn't he propose to Emily and then spend a sweet and happy night, Lu Ke and Logan recalled the stories from their college days and complained to each other? Destroy each other. But why did it end up like this?
"Huh..." Breathing out a long breath, Jay splashed cold water on his face again, and couldn't help but shuddered - compared to San Francisco, the winter in Seattle is much colder. Although there is no ice and snow, it is still cold. The wind was also howling, and the cold water vapor penetrated into the pores like thousands of cow hairs. The chills came one after another and couldn't stop at all. Just arriving here reminded me of the California sunshine again.
calm! calm! His interview assignment today was the Seattle Seahawks. He put the San Francisco 49ers' affairs behind his mind for the time being. He needed to focus on the interview assignment in front of him. calm! What he needs to face now is not Lu Ke, but the Seattle Seahawks, "Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks." He kept repeating the same word in his mind to cheer himself up.
I couldn't lift my groggy head, and it was so swollen that it was almost bursting. But the stimulation of washing my face with cold water finally had a little effect, and my thoughts finally became clear. Then I quickly packed myself up, turned around and set off for Century. Chain Stadium, today is the highlight of the day: the official media days of the four teams in the federation finals are about to be held.
This also means that the federation finals have officially begun.
Compared with the American League finals, the National League finals are full of more sparks, and the strong chemical reaction seems to be ready to explode at any time, because the two teams are younger and more energetic, and they are full of passion and are always eager to compete. Choking each other to death; also because the hatred between the two teams is more "fresh", not an old calendar, but the emotions accumulated in the past three seasons. All fans can endlessly count the crimes of the other party, full of anger It can't be suppressed at all.
After entering the 2013 season, because the two teams are closer in strength and status, the outcome of the game is more suspenseful and exciting. This also makes the tit-for-tat sparks between the two sides further explode. It seems that the main fans are more energetic. The team will be able to win, and the topic outside the court will become more and more popular.
This season, two teams that are rivals in the same conference have each won one victory at home——
Among them, the Seattle Seahawks ended their three-season losing streak against their opponents, but the San Francisco 49ers still maintained their unbeaten home record at Candlestick Stadium for five seasons.
Once again, the strength of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team has increased significantly. Even if they lost the away game, it also interrupted the San Francisco 49ers' tradition of "minimum consumption" in the past two seasons; while the San Francisco 49ers offensive team still has a strong threat, facing The Carolina Panthers also remained absolutely strong against the second-best defensive team in the league.
Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. They are on par with each other. From strength to state, they are getting closer and closer. This head-to-head match against Maimang is undoubtedly full of countless suspense!
All of this made the noise of this game begin to spread early. Although the other game is a classic rivalry recorded in the history of the league, this game is a freshly emerged rival, from topic to focus to suspense. The overall attention has lightly occupied all the attention, which can be seen from the schedule: the American League finals are Sunday's matinee, while the National League finals are Sunday's night games. The level of attention is clear at a glance.
For three consecutive games in the playoffs, the San Francisco 49ers were scheduled for the night games of the playoffs. They surpassed the market appeal of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady twice in a row. It can be seen from the side. , now Lu Ke’s strong influence inside and outside the NFL league——
It is not only the official recognition of the league, but also the affirmation of the audience's attention. The night game arrangement is definitely a situation that everyone expects. Otherwise, how could the league make a loss-making business? Now, everyone is looking forward to this matchup bringing another classic.
On the official press day of the Seattle Seahawks, it was expected that "Big Mouth" Richard Sherman became the target of collective attack; what was unexpected was that Russell Wilson concentrated strong firepower. Even more than Sherman, the whole press conference scene was a bit bloody.
Nothing more needs to be said about Sherman.
As early as the 2011 rookie training camp, Lu Ke and Sherman had already had conflicts. Some media dug up video clips of internal tests. Lu Ke passed Sherman and Julio with consecutive fake moves- Jones completed the connection, showing his super intelligence and superb skills at the quarterback position, and Sherman's performance of being completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation made himself look extremely stupid - that video was also repeated. Forte was circulated on social networks and even became a hot topic. This was not very friendly to the Seattle Seahawks, but it also officially established the nature of their mortal enemy.
Since then, this classic showdown of "Quarterback VS Cornerback" has established an endless hostility that continues to this day.
In the seven games between the two teams in the three seasons so far, "Lu Ke VS Sherman" duels have occurred six times, and Lu Ke's performance completely defeated Sherman, which has also become the league's self-proclaimed No. The biggest black point in Sherman's career as a cornerback is that he cannot suppress Lu Ke and cannot prove his title of "number one". All those arrogant and arrogant remarks seem to be a big joke.
"Sherman, in all the games so far in the three seasons, Lu Ke's passing rating towards your defensive position is 119.8, and he has not even sent an interception. What do you think of this?"
Just one question made Sherman explode. He blurted out angrily, "Dog/shit!" He was so excited that he spit out his saliva, and his muscles tightened. He didn't even realize that his hands were He patted the table hard and expressed his strong dissatisfaction.
In anger, Sherman was a little unscrupulous, "He is just a coward. He doesn't dare to pass the ball in my direction. So far, he has only passed the ball five times, or six times? And then... Saying he beat me! Shameless villain! This is completely nonsense and slander! In addition to bragging about his own hypocrisy, he will also take away the credit of his teammates and coaches! I refuse to answer any questions about this guy !”
As if he had anticipated Sherman's quibble, Jay Fox stood up immediately and read to the data list, "In six duels in three seasons, Lu Ke passed the ball in your defensive direction 53 times. , averaging 8.83 times per game, with a pass success rate of 79.2%, and a total of seven touchdowns..."
The data doesn't lie. Although due to the defensive position of the cornerback, Lu Ke's passes towards Sherman are mainly short passes and intermediate passes. This results in relatively few passing yards and quarterback ratings. He didn't score 120 points, but it was clear at a glance that Lu Ke was the strong performer in this matchup, and did not give Sherman much room to show off his abilities. Faced with Sherman's quibbles, Jay launched a direct attack with data.
But before Jay could finish his sentence, Sherman interrupted him rudely, "Shut up! I'm sure I will make him lose this game very ugly! If he has the guts, he will pass the ball in my direction." ball!"
"But he passed it." Jay put down the data list. Although he seemed top-heavy because he had not slept for a long time, he was as excited as a chicken blood at the moment. All the negative emotions gathered together and moved towards Sher Man vented his feelings, as if this could temporarily forget the conflict between him and Lu Ke, and then... he was all fired up.
"He's made passes in your direction every time in the last six duels and won the bet and you haven't shaved off your eyebrows yet."
