In the meantime, There is no impact from the strong wind, which is undoubtedly good news for two teams that are good at attacking; at the same time, this is also good news for the fans and spectators.”
This year's Super Bowl broadcast rights were won by Fox TV, which also means that Teddy Williams, Kirk Charleston and Troy Aikman, who are most familiar to San Francisco 49ers fans, will continue to serve as on-site analysis commentators. At the same time, The on-site reporter was also a familiar Pam Oliver.
Pam is a small black woman with a typical pear-shaped figure. Standing on the safety island in the center of Super Bowl Boulevard, she looks petite and cute. The surging crowds around her seem to be drowning her at any time, which further highlights her The scene was filled with huge crowds of people.
"We are now..." Pam could not continue, because there was a deafening shout from the side, which completely swallowed up Pam's voice in an instant, and then you could see a group of crazy fans crowding in. Behind Pam, wearing hats, oil paints and waving towels, they scrambled to squeeze into the TV screen, smiling faces fully blooming, cheering one after another:
"Denver!"
"Nine people!"
"New York!"
"Super Bowl!"
There was also a sentence "Penny! I'm on TV!" The excited and deformed voice made the surrounding fans laugh and joke together. The atmosphere became even more chaotic and lively, and the heat evaporated from the mouth. It seems that even the cold winter has to retreat.
There was a helpless expression on Pam's face, but she still continued her on-site reporting work dedicatedly, "We can now see that the fans of the two teams are walking towards the Metropolitan Stadium. It was a suggestion from a San Francisco 49ers fan, and it was met with overwhelming response from fans of both teams, who took to the streets, across the city, and arrived at MetLife Stadium."
Along with Pam's words, the helicopter's overhead shot showed the majesty of the scene:
Orange and dark blue, white and gold, intertwined with red and black, like lava after a volcanic eruption, flowing slowly and tortuously, obviously not fast, but bursting out with hot and strong flames, billowing heat waves like this The dense crowd rushed toward the Metropolitan Stadium, and the powerful force bursting out from the surging crowd made the gray sky brighten.
Fifty thousand people. Eighty thousand people. One hundred and thirty thousand people.
According to incomplete official statistics from the league, a total of 83,000 fans were gathered at the Metropolitan Stadium, which was completely packed. In addition to the fans in the stadium, countless fans who were unable to purchase Super Bowl tickets also came to New York. Participate in this event up close and hope to experience this important moment in history, which also makes New York and New Jersey usher in such a grand event.
"Friends in the audience, friends in the audience..." Pam had to raise her voice and shouted hoarsely, "Now the fans of the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos are celebrating happily, welcoming the upcoming event like a carnival. Super Bowl.”
Before the words could even be finished, a group of fans came over: three Denver fans and three San Francisco fans, holding each other's backs and singing loudly. They looked like they were welcoming the Super Bowl hand in hand. Through the live broadcast of the camera lens, it was broadcast on Fox TV. It spread, triggering exclamations and heated discussions from countless netizens:
This is also the most beautiful and moving image of competitive sports. They respect their opponents, live in harmony, go all out, and compete. However, all those sparks remain on the field. When the game is over, they cheer and celebrate together, for the sake of the game and for the sake of competition. For the sake of sportsmanship, let’s participate in the grand event together!
Although the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers are not feuding, such a beautiful scene has indeed not been seen for many years. The only reason that can be found is that the two team leaders, Manning and Lu Ke, have influenced the fans with their actual actions. The power of example gives this showdown a different meaning.
"What we are seeing now are the fans of the San Francisco 49ers. The 'King of the Bay Area' flag has become the most unique scenery in the league in the past three seasons. At this time!"
Pam's voice suddenly became excited, and she couldn't believe what she was witnessing, "At this moment! We saw the two flag protectors standing next to the 'King of the Bay Area' flag, just like in 'The Lord of the Rings'" Like the Fellowship of the Ring, they are guarding the flag of San Francisco."
"The one on the left is 'Bat Boy' Miles Scott, the little fan who awakened the miracle of Christmas and touched countless Americans a month ago; the female fan on the right is holding up Ryan Baldwin's The support card was a fan suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, who awakened the golden sea in San Francisco, but sadly passed away during this year's season opener."
Simple words, but full of affection. Although Pam is not a fan of any team, readers who have actually read those news texts can feel the affection and touchingness behind the words. It is difficult not to be moved, and now again It means a lot to see Miles and Ryan represented in this way.
However, what Pam didn't know was that this had even more special meaning for the nine people.
Candice looked at the "King of the Bay Area" flag waving in the wind affectionately and intently. On the left was the Miles family. Miles, who was wearing the No. 14 jersey, had a bright smile on his face, and from time to time he would Running quickly, like a child playing hide-and-seek, he kept waving the golden towel in his hand, and his laughter like silver bells infected everyone around him.
On the right is Kate Wiggins. Candice also didn't expect that Kate took the initiative to ask her to hold up the support sign if Jonathan didn't mind.
Kate said, "This was a promise between Bambi and Ryan. Bambi fulfilled his. Now it's Ryan's turn. I should stand on the court instead of Ryan, just like he took me to New Orleans." Same, this is my promise."
Jonathan made no objection.
Kate held up the support card made by Candice, with red as the background and gold as the words, collage with the touching words from the heart, "To Ryan Baldwin, if they say, who cares about another The light goes out, is it twinkling under the billions of stars in the sky? Yes, I care." Kate's face also burst into a bright smile, which complemented the font of the support card and lit up the sky in an instant.
At this moment, every fan on the Super Bowl Avenue is an "insignificant" star. Compared with the superstars who are under the spotlight on the stadium, these fans are like the faint and dim starlight, lost to the Among the vast galaxy of 80,000 and 100,000 people, who can distinguish their existence one by one? Even if a ray of light goes out, who will notice it and who will care?
But the existence of Ryan Baldwin proves a truth: every star is crucial, every one! If there are not those faint starlights, how can the dazzling star be reflected? If there are not those dim starlights, how can the magnificence of the dazzling galaxy be constructed?
Whether it’s Denver Broncos fans or San Francisco 49ers fans, they are all an integral part of this sky full of stars.
Turning her head, Candice could see familiar faces among the crowds of people, including Jonathan Baldwin, Chris Wilson, Cliff Hart, Jeff Locke, etc., Li Mo Nian, Lei Qingkong, Sun Tongfei, etc.; at the same time, she could also see strange faces, including fans from San Francisco and fans from Denver. Everyone was cheering and shouting wantonly, enjoying their own carnival. Festival.
In the vast crowd, Candice's gaze captured every face. Those old, young, mature and immature faces were shining with the light of hope, releasing the energy of life. Different colors bloomed in those cheers and jumps.
In a daze, Candice seemed to see Ryan Baldwin again. He was wearing the No. 14 jersey, raising his hands high, with a bright smile on his face, and he was jumping, dancing and singing. The slogan "Keep fighting" echoed in the ears from far to near, seeming to declare loudly: The golden ocean of the San Francisco 49ers will never be extinguished, and they will always fight side by side behind Lu Ke.
In a blink of an eye, Ryan Baldwin's face transformed into Miles Scott's smile, wearing the same No. 14 jersey, singing and laughing, waving his hands vigorously, and then the passionate and high-pitched voice came to his ears. The drumbeat seems to catch the singing voice blooming to its fullest.
"Have you heard people singing and heard the drumbeats from the distance? That is the future brought by the dead, just waiting for the dawn of tomorrow! Will you join our jihad? Will you be strong and walk side by side with us? Sometime, somewhere, Beyond the barricades, is there a world you long for?”
Let the battle begin!
