Pushing open the door of the visiting team's dressing room, a bustling heat wave is coming, and the players who have returned to the locker room after the interview early are chatting about the bits and pieces of today's game, thrilling, exciting, funny, funny, and embarrassing...... And so on and so forth, because of the success of the season, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

Lu Ke stood at the door and glanced around, but didn't see Randy Moss's figure, pulled Randy James, who was staggering and ready to go to the bath, and asked, Randy didn't think much about it, and pointed to the corner near the northeast corner, "Randy's locker is there, and after he just came in, he went straight over." ”

Lu Ke moved two steps to the left-hand side, and then saw Moss standing at the door of the locker. Just now, because of the angle, Isaac Soboga and Ray McDonald's blocked the line of sight, so I didn't find Moss.

Patting Michael on the shoulder to express his gratitude, Lu Ke strode towards where Moss was.

Rammichael hummed a ditty heartlessly, turned the towel, and continued on his way.

As a rookie who has just joined the team this year, and is also a highly competitive running back position, I have already taken up most of my time in just one training camp, and I am still not sensitive to the disturbances in the team, even if I have heard of them.

But slowly, Ramiel sensed that something was wrong: Hey, why is everyone staring at him? Could it be...... Bath towel dropped on the ground? And then everyone was shocked because of the size?

La Michael subconsciously pulled his bath towel, making sure that the bath towel was still in the correct position, and felt a little relieved.

So what's going on?

Ramiel raised his head and looked around, only to find that the place where his eyes fell was not himself, but Lu Ke not far behind him, because of the staggered relationship between the travel routes, the front and rear positions of the two people seemed to overlap a little, causing him to have an illusion. But...... Still not quite right, why is everyone staring at Lu Ke?

Ramiel simply stopped, turned around, and followed everyone's line of sight, and then saw Ahmad Brooks who came out of the ramp, blocking Lu Ke's footsteps.

Inexplicably—for Ramiel, the air in the locker room began to tense, and you could clearly perceive that the chatter in the locker room was slow, slowly decreasing, and there was a faint sound of breathing, but the feeling of a collective shift of attention was so obvious that Ramiel couldn't help but tense up.

What's going on?

……

The same question mark also appeared on Lu Ke's head, and he looked at Brooks in front of him puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

“…… How was the interview? Is everything still going well? Brooks was a little stuck, but he still held back a sentence at a critical moment, although a little embarrassed, but it was better than nothing, he showed a big smile, and then added, hiding his panic, "I mean, is that annoying reporter from Sports Illustrated still looking for trouble?" ”

The topic has finally come to an end.

Lu Ke didn't think much about it, about Harry Waynes, the whole team knew about it, and they often joked in the locker room, "Ha, he said today that Alex Smith was squeezed out by me, and even described vividly how I used my Asian identity to put pressure on Alex through my agent to get rid of Alex." ”

Such a ridiculous rumor is obviously stirring up trouble again, but there is no threat to Lu Ke, and he continued to describe the episode just now with a smile on his face and a relaxed tone, "I replied that if I had such a right, then the first thing I would do was to refuse any kind of interview with 'Sports Illustrated'. ”

"Haha!" Brooks clapped and laughed without holding back, "I can imagine Harry Waynes' expression. ”

Lu Ke spread his hands and had an innocent expression on his face, "I'm already trying not to hurt him." But overall, everything was fine. Today's problem revolves around the game, and they are finally professional. While laughing and teasing, Lu Ke took another step, bypassed Brooks, and continued to move in the established direction.

But Brooks turned around, and in two big steps, he grabbed Lu Ke in front of him again and blocked the way.

After the same action twice in a row, Lu Ke also sensed that something was wrong, looked at Brooks in confusion, and asked suspiciously, "Ahmed, are you okay?" ”

Brooks opened his mouth, trying to find an excuse again, but under Lu Ke's gaze, he finally failed, he scratched his head in annoyance, and said in a low voice, "Bambi, are you sure?" He's not an easy player to get along with, so we should enjoy the win now and leave everything else to work out later, what do you think? ”

Lu Ke immediately reacted.

As the leader of the locker room, Brooks is not the dignified type, but more often than not, the gag relieves the atmosphere, the spirit of the key moments and humorous jokes, often fill the locker room and the training court with laughter, and the relationship between the rookie and the senior players is also as frictional as possible.

At this moment, Brooks was worried about the conflict between Lu Ke and Moss.

After a whole season of getting along, the veterans, including Brooks, know that Lu Ke seems to be a harmless jade-faced scholar on the surface, but he hides a tough and arrogant bone that is neither humble nor arrogant in his bones, he will not be afraid of conflict, nor will he avoid conflict, but can faintly gain the upper hand in a head-to-head confrontation.

In other words, Lu Ke and Moss are both types with outstanding personalities and sharp edges, and once they collide together, it will be Mars hitting the earth, which is not trivial; Last season's locker room problems seemed a lot more pediatric by comparison.

Therefore, Brooks came over to mediate as soon as possible, he knew that Lu Ke was not an unreasonable person, and Moss's words were ...... It's a little unpredictable.

Since joining the San Francisco 49ers, Moss has always maintained his own style. It's not the kind that refuses to communicate with teammates outright, but the kind that puts on an unattainable posture from beginning to end.

On the training court, he mainly communicates with a small group of black players, not racist, but the San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver group and offensive forward group are mainly black, basically, this is his scope of work, and it is also his scope of communication; Off the training ground, he's basically a loner and rarely talks to other than Vernon Davis.

The shadow of the name tree of man.

As one of the league's top and most legendary wide receivers, there is still a sense of distance between him and the San Francisco 49ers, who are dominated by young players. It can be said to be admiration, or it can be said to be rusty, after all, many players here do "grew up watching Moss play".

Brooks still wants to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Facing Brooks's worries, Lu Ke smiled dumbly, "Ahmed, we can't choose not to get along because he doesn't get along, I think today's game is a breakthrough, I want to try it." ”

During the offseason and preseason, the San Francisco 49ers met several times, both as a group and as an offensive group, and they invited Moss to more or less and even match-up through Vernon, but Moss never showed up, and the way to close the distance by alcohol still ended in failure.

This also means that conventional methods are not very suitable.

Originally, they thought that enhancing friendship through the game was undoubtedly the best way, and they were fully immersed in the game, and the friendship of fighting side by side could always easily unite everyone; But today's game kicked off with a brawl and another brawl, and things went off track again.

As Lu Ke said, maybe this is a breakthrough, just like between men, as long as they fight fiercely and vent their emotions, they can solve many problems.

Brooks tried to refute, but couldn't.

Lu Ke patted Brooks' arm and stepped forward again.

This time, Brooks hesitated, but after all, he didn't stop again.

Unconsciously, all the trivial sounds in the locker room disappeared, and everyone's eyes followed Lu Ke closely, gradually approaching Moss, who was facing away from the locker room.

One is a league legend, who is definitely the No. 1 star in the San Francisco 49ers; One is a rising star, but it occupies an increasingly important core position in the team. Now, these two players are about to collide head-on, and no one can predict where the outcome will end.

"Hey, Randy." Lu Ke's footsteps stopped, without hesitation, and took the initiative to say hello.

"Hey!" There was a gasp in the locker room, they didn't expect that Lu Ke would attack directly like this, so what should they do next?

The sound of breathing was too obvious, Lu Ke rolled his eyes, put his right hand behind his back, stretched out his thumb, index finger and middle finger, closed his index finger and middle finger, pressed down heavily, and joined his thumb, making a "shut up" gesture to keep the group of onlookers watching the circus quiet.

Moss did not answer, nor did he look back.

The whole locker room was infinitely close to a state of silence, and it was impossible for Moss not to hear it, so he just pretended not to hear it, or didn't want to respond. This attitude could not be more clear.

But Lu Ke still didn't give up, he took the initiative to take a small half step forward, raised his voice again, this time he didn't call, but cut directly to the topic, and said sincerely, "Randy, I'm sorry, during the first quarter of the game today, my performance was irrational and incorrect, I owe you an apology." ”

Everyone held their breath and waited for Moss's response.
