"Welcome back to the 'League,' I'm Edward Bowen."

After the commercial break, the camera camera returned to the presenter, and in just one sentence, he turned his head left and right to look at the ten analytical commentators sitting around the round table on either side, and continued.

"This week, the NFL playoffs are about to officially begin. In previous episodes, we've discussed and analyzed three of the matchups in the Wild Card Game, and now we're left with the final group: the Green Bay Packers vs. the San Francisco 49ers. So, what do you think about this game? ”

Edward cut to the point of the conversation simply and clearly, but the analysts and commentators in front of him exchanged glances with each other, and no one was willing to speak first, which made Edward laugh, "Ha, this is not the picture I was looking for, I thought that everyone would rush to express their opinions, and I need to worry about the situation getting out of control." Liz, what do you think? ”

Elizabeth Nelson, a new analyst who joined the show this season, is recognized as a supporter of Aaron Rodgers, while the new generation of quarterbacks sees Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson as having more potential for development, and she is quite sure that Lu Ke is not in court.

"Wow, Edward, thank you for throwing me the most difficult and intractable problem first." Elizabeth joked in an ironic way, which made the other analysts and commentators in the room laugh, but Elizabeth did not have stage fright and straightened her back, "This is the most high-profile and anticipated game of the first round of wild cards, and I think everyone has no objection to this." ”

Everyone nodded in affirmation.

"Again, it should be the closest match and the most unpredictable outcome." Elizabeth continued, "Both teams are facing serious injury problems right now, especially the two quarterbacks - Rodgers has only returned from a shoulder injury, and it can be seen from the game against Chicago that he is still far from his best passing form, and even makes people wonder if Rodgers forced his return in order to compete for a playoff spot, which also brings a lot of uncertainty to the playoff prospects." ”

"Similarly, Lu Ke's arm and knee injuries also exist objectively-"

Elizabeth couldn't finish her sentence before Edward interrupted her with curiosity on his face, "Are you sure?" Lu Ke is facing injury problems? ”

Immediately afterwards, several analysts and commentators next to him also agreed: "Lu Ke is in good shape", "Lu Ke almost single-handedly defeated Arizona", "Did you watch the live broadcast of the last game", "Are you sure you know which quarterback you are talking about, the quarterback rating of the last game is 130 points", "Are you sure you are not wrong"......

They express their views in such a questioning way.

In the face of the collective attack, Elizabeth turned to look at Spencer Larson, "Hey man, aren't you going to say a word of justice to Skywalker?" ”

Elizabeth only favored Rodgers and maintained a relatively objective attitude towards the other quarterbacks; But Spencer has not concealed his partiality for Lu Ke in the past two seasons, and even blindly believes in Lu Ke, who is also known as the most unswerving "Lu Ke blow" in the "league".

Spencer chuckled, "You're handling it pretty well now, aren't you?" Then I saw Elizabeth roll her eyes widely, Spencer didn't remain silent anymore, and took the initiative to join the conversation, "I know what Liz means," "Liz" is the abbreviation of Elizabeth, and everyone in the program team calls her that.

"Lu Ke has put in an extremely good performance in the last few games, and the quarterback rating proves it, which makes people ignore his injury troubles." Spencer is one of the commentators who know Lu Ke best, and the whole idea is very clear.

"In fact, you can see the difference in the game stats, the ratio of short to long passes, the time spent reading the defence, the number of runs you run with the ball, the rotation of the two running backs...... And so on and so forth, the whole tactical layout has changed compared to last season. ”

"It was clear that the impact of the arm injury was more serious than we thought, and it forced Lu Ke to change his tactics, which is the way we are familiar with Lu Ke, but not the way we play. Many people think that Lu Ke's style of play is gradually maturing, but the real reason is the unavoidable change brought about by injury. ”

But the most admirable thing about Lu Ke is here: the wisdom of the game! And on-the-spot contingencies! He has always been able to adapt his tactics to his condition and the form of the team, minimising the negative impact of injuries in order to finish the game and even win. Spencer's words made everyone at the scene fall into deep thought.

Elizabeth expressed her affirmation and took the initiative to take over the conversation, "In the past two seasons, we have clearly seen what energy Lu Ke can burst out as a quarterback who plays with his head; And this season, in the face of serious injuries, Lu Ke once again showed his wisdom, which is what he admires the most. In that respect alone, I think Lu Ke has now reached the top of the league. ”

Edward made a surprised voice, which is precisely the charm of "within the alliance", ten different points of view collide in the same space, "Why, no one is ready to refute?" I know that Lu Ke's style of play is not everyone's liking. ”

Elizabeth cut off Edward's words again, "The focus now is not 'do we like Lu Ke', I just objectively stated a fact, if you want to refute it, you can continue later, but can we focus on the key points first?" ”

Edward raised his hand in surrender.

Elizabeth then continued, "Back to this wild card game, both quarterbacks are facing injury problems of varying degrees, in addition, the offensive and defensive groups of both teams are also facing serious injury problems, which not only affects the state of the game on both sides, but even the lineup of the head coaches of both sides is full of uncertainties, and now Hubble and McCarthy should be struggling with the selection of starting lineups." ”

"We can't predict exactly what will happen on the field, which is why everyone has reserved their opinions and not preemptively expressed their opinions, obviously, the situation is still in a state of uncertainty, so let me start first."

Elizabeth's brightness made the other guests chuckle and bow her head in agreement, and she didn't hesitate any longer, and said her choice briskly, "I'll vote for Green Bay." ”

There was a light laugh in the studio, as if everyone had expected Elizabeth's choice.

But Elizabeth waved her hand solemnly, "Misunderstanding, you misunderstood, I didn't make such a choice because I supported Rodgers, we can look back to the last game of the regular season, Green Bay and San Francisco both teams have experienced drastic ups and downs in the face of life and death, both narrowly won, but obviously, Green Bay is in better shape now." ”

"You know, Green Bay's opponents, Chicago, have beaten many strong teams such as Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Dallas and the Giants this season, which also means ......" Elizabeth could not finish her words before Henry-Jamison, who was sitting diagonally opposite, interrupted.

"No, no! According to you, San Francisco's opponent Arizona is much stronger, not only is it the closest team to the wild card, but they also beat top seed Seattle in the previous week's game, so if San Francisco can fight to the end and win, then San Francisco should be in ...... form."

Henry made a strong argument but couldn't finish it, and Elizabeth continued, "No, no, no, I mean, Chicago's opponents this season are all teams that have playoff hopes but are a little bit worse, which means that the intensity of each meeting is better, and Chicago can win, it's a tough ......battle."

"Wait, wait, we've digressed from the topic now." Spencer intercepted all of Henry and Elizabeth's words, and then raised his hand to grab all his eyes, "The focus is on Green Bay and San Francisco!" Not Arizona and Chicago, okay? The succinct remark made everyone else nod, and Elizabeth wanted to explain a few more, but Spencer shook his head firmly in the negative.

Then, Spencer expressed his opinion, "I understand what Elizabeth meant, there are so many uncertainties for San Francisco and Green Bay, and both teams have to rely on on-court play to decide the direction of the game - of course, all games are like that, and that's the same for nothing." ”

"Haha", everyone in the studio laughed collectively, and the slightly tense atmosphere just now relaxed because of Spencer.

"I've struggled with this choice because I know that both quarterbacks have the ability to turn the game around in their own right, and maybe we're going to see a Hail Mary scene." Spencer's tone remained relaxed, but his mind was inevitably still a little nervous, "But in the end, I chose San Francisco." ”

"Huh!"

"It's boring, it's boring."

"To say it is to say nothing."

There was a burst of complaints, and everyone made expressions of disgust, and Elizabeth also laughed with a little schadenfreude.

Spencer didn't argue, but waited for everyone to calm down before explaining, "Liz and I actually share the same opinion. I think San Francisco is in better shape right now. ”

"Well, now everyone is starting to guess by feeling, how do you feel a bit like buying lotto?" Edward said in a flash, and all the analysts and commentators collectively laughed, although there was no-for-tat sharpness and sharpness, the show still maintained a different style, creating another viewing value, "Well, does anyone still need to ask about crystal balls or tarot cards?" I can arrange it right away. ”

The audience laughed collectively, and Elizabeth and Spencer were both covered in arrows.
