"Bambi!"
One after another, the shouts of surprise came one after another happily and excitedly. This made Justin Smith quickly turn his head, and then he saw Lu Ke who had reappeared. His steps were a little staggering - to be honest, he still couldn't walk normally, even just It was a bit difficult to even stand, but Justin still couldn't help but take steps in the direction of Lu Ke.
Unexpectedly, a figure sprinted past like a violent storm, whizzing past Justin, leaving only a No. 19 jersey number on the back, and ran towards Lu Ke in a mighty manner, So much so that Justin couldn't help but stand there, stunned.
Even Candice couldn't help but give up her position to the side, and then Candice could see Lu Ke looking back at her with a resentful expression on his face, but Candice didn't mind at all, but signaled with a smile. For a moment, let Lu Ke step forward to celebrate such an important moment with his teammates.
Ted Jean hung on Lu Ke's body like a koala, slapped Lu Ke's back hard, and then shouted obliviously, "Ahhhh! Ahhhhh!" There was nothing. The other words were just a roar, venting the inner excitement.
While lying on the hospital bed, Gene once imagined that he was like a superhero, standing on the Super Bowl stage, stepping forward at the critical moment to save the entire team, and then leading the team to the highest stage and enjoying the whole world. The world cheered; but when all this really happened, all the imaginations in my mind were not counted, and the excitement, excitement, and joy just burst out continuously.
He did it! He really did it! He really became a superhero! He really used his feet and hands to help the team reach the championship stage!
"Bambi, I did it." After the enthusiasm and shock, the only thought in Gene's mind was to share this joy and happiness with Lu Ke. He still clearly and truly remembered that at Candlestick Stadium three years ago, Lu Ke looked into his eyes sincerely and sincerely, and said seriously, "Run! Ted, run! Use all your strength to sprint forward. I It’s going to put the football in position, you just have to run with it.”
Three years, a short but long three years, he has been running all the way, from being the ninth pick in the first round to being abandoned by no one, from being an unknown special team returner to becoming famous all over the world. The Super Bowl champion, from being hobbled by heavy injuries to the shining moment on the championship stage, he ran like this with forgetfulness. Finally, on the championship stage, he became the hero who reversed the situation and realized his self-worth.
"Bambi, I did it." Thousands of words turned into the simplest sentence. Gene wantonly and crazily released all the emotions deep in his heart, and the slightly trembling voice inadvertently leaked out Only they themselves can know their true emotions:
The last pass and catch at the last minute, what does that really mean!
In particular, Ginn was unable to play in the game three weeks ago. Ginn had not performed well before entering the second half of the fourth quarter of this game, but he burst out with endless energy in the last two waves of offense. This is even more rare and even more important. Precious, truly reaching the summit at the peak moment.
Amidst Gene's roar, Lu Ke couldn't help but feel slightly sour - he felt the same way! He slapped Gene's shoulder heavily, and then you could see Stanley, Boone, Rupati, Crabtree, Navolo, Rhett and others gradually swarming over and surrounding them in a bustling manner. At the entrance of the players' tunnel, a steady stream of people gathered and started the second wave of celebrations.
Amidst the cheers and shouts, Lu Ke finally managed to escape from the crowd.
Not far away, Aldon was kneeling on his knees, covering his face and crying. The ups and downs of this season had really made Aldon go back and forth between heaven and hell several times, and finally he was able to stand on the Super League. On the bowl stage, and accompanying his teammates through difficulties to win the championship, only he can know the contradictory emotions of bitterness and happiness.
Willis was hugging his teammates on the defensive team one by one, with a hint of relief in his tired expression. Then he saw Lu Ke from the corner of his eyes. Before he even had time to speak, his eyes turned red. For the entire team As far as the team is concerned, injuries have defeated them, are bothering them, and will still bother them, but they have still made it this far unswervingly.
Boldin stood alone on the court, looking up at the paper fireworks flying in the sky, his slightly twinkling eyes reflecting the appearance of the lights in the field. Last year, they fell short at the last moment and lost to this team; this year, they gritted their teeth at the last moment and successfully defended their title, and he went from runner-up to champion. The feeling was indescribable for a while.
Then, Lu Ke walked towards Justin.
Due to the impact of the injury, Justin was almost unable to stand. Lu Ke quickly took a few strides to meet him, supporting Justin's body with his shoulders, "Are you okay?"
Lu Ke's question made Justin laugh happily, "Very good, it couldn't be better, what else could be better?" Because he smiled so brightly, his thighs seemed to be stretched again, and then his whole face turned into a grin. He got up, but Justin didn't care, he just patted Lu Ke's shoulder heavily.
"Bambi..." Justin thought he had thousands of words to say, but when the matter came to an end, he couldn't remember a word, and his whole brain fell into a blank. He just stared at Lu Ke, and finally said, "Thank you. .”
Seeing that Lu Ke was about to respond, Justin stopped him with his eyes, "I know that you are also a member of this team. You completed this game with us, I know it. I just want to express my gratitude, thank you Thank you for never giving up on us, thank you for never giving up hope, and thank you for your willingness to fight until the very end.”
As he spoke, Justin choked up, "I just... I don't know... I'm not sure how long my career can last..." Justin will be turning thirty-five this year. For a defensive end, It is said that it is time to retire. After thirteen full seasons in the league, his career has come to an end, and injuries have not made it easy.
Same goes for Willis. So does Macdonald.
"Justin. Justin!" Lu Ke interrupted Justin loudly and called out repeatedly, attracting Justin's attention. "We don't know how long our careers can last, but I know that you just completed an incredible battle. I also know that we are partners fighting side by side, and we will not give up any comrade easily, remember? So, no matter what difficulties, let us face it calmly together, what do you think? As for now, let us enjoy this game together Victory, this is mine and yours, we are the champions!”
Justin nodded solemnly, clenched his fists, raised his arms and shouted, "We are the champions!"
Lu Ke gave Justin a big hug, then handed Justin to Willis. After exchanging glances, he took steps towards the figure wearing the No. 2 jersey in the center of the court.
David Akins stood there, bathed in the sky full of paper fireworks, quietly admiring the grand occasion in front of him, even reluctant to blink.
Then Lu Ke came to his side, saying nothing, just admiring the bright and gorgeous rain of fireworks.
"It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Akens noticed Lu Ke's figure and said actively.
"Yes." Lu Ke nodded in affirmation, "The best moment of the entire season."
Akens noticed Lu Ke's imminent gesture, laughed dumbly, and said proactively, "I knew I would be reluctant to let go, but I didn't expect to be so reluctant to let go. God, I can't even take a step now."
"If you can't bear to leave, then don't leave." Lu Ke said half-jokingly.
"Ha." Akens laughed happily, "It's never easy to say goodbye, but I would rather choose to turn around when the memories are still good, and don't let each other hurt each other. You know, I should leave, it's time." "This was Akins' last game and his career was over.
He has experienced troughs and reached glory, he has experienced ups and downs and experienced the warmth of home. His footsteps should have stopped last year, but because of Lu Ke's retention, he continued to stay in the game and run wild; but now, it is It's time to say goodbye - he missed the winning free kick in the wild card game and missed an extra point tonight, all of which prove that he is no longer capable, so instead of letting each other hurt each other, it is better to let time If we freeze in a beautiful moment and forget each other forever, then he can still become the special teams captain of this team.
"David..." Lu Ke just spoke, but he saw Arkens turning his head and showing him a big smile, which instantly hit the bridge of Lu Ke's nose. His voice was choked with sobs. If it weren't for Arkens If he was the first to extend an olive branch to him, he might not be able to quickly establish himself in the team; if it weren't for Akans's stable performance, he might have faced more difficulties in his rookie season; if it weren't for Akans and Willis's Support, he may never grow into a leader in the locker room... But now, this friend and mentor is finally leaving.
Three years ago, he said goodbye to John Ward; last year, he said goodbye to Randy Moss; this year, he is about to say goodbye to David Akins.
In Akens's firm eyes, Lu Ke swallowed all his dissuasion and comfort, and instead showed a big smile, "Unfortunately, you can't witness the miracle of three consecutive championships with us."
"Haha." Akins laughed happily, "But at least, we completed the defense of the title." Akens raised his head again, "I will still become a regular visitor to the new stadium in the future. Maybe, I can use another Join the team on its journey to three consecutive championships as a fan.”
"Of course, we welcome you all the time." Lu Ke said sincerely.
Arkens' slightly trembling voice came to his ears, and he let out a long sigh, "This is the most beautiful moment I have ever witnessed in my career; this is a beautiful goodbye."
