Lu Ke spread his hands innocently to show his innocence.

He assumed that Brian, a veteran journalist and a member of the San Francisco Chronicle, should at least be responsive, if not cunning. Who knows, a simple joke, Brian fell into the ditch.

Jiang Youning smiled dumbly, turned around and walked into the kitchen, preparing drinks for the guests; Lu Zhengze, who stayed in place, took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Since he was a child, he has been a well-spoken person, and when he first came to the United States, he only knew a few English words, and he also ran out to chat with other children." ”

chatting in his mouth, Lu Zhengze skillfully guided Brian to sit down in the hall, "At that time, we said that when he grew up, he would definitely be suitable for a career such as a journalist or a lawyer." Now that he's suddenly a professional footballer, I have a deep feeling that the dressing room should be very lively, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. ”

"I regret it. Can today's interview be terminated now? Until more revelations come out, I need to maintain a positive image of the players. Lu Ke's casual interjection made the atmosphere joyful again, and Brian finally reacted this time, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Lu Ke's major in University is ......" In just two sentences of conversation, Brian captured the news point and cut into it.

"News." Lu Zhengze replied.

Brian suddenly realized that he had noticed it when he was investigating before. But to be honest, most of the college majors of professional athletes are just decorations and have no role at all. Therefore, Brian saw it and forgot about it, and did not pay attention at all, until today. "So, did you object to him choosing to become a professional footballer? For most parents, being a professional player is not a positive choice. ”

After all, the elimination rate in competitive sports is too high.

"Of course. Me and Anne ...... Oh, sorry for my negligence, I'm Jack and Anne is Lu Ke's mother. Lu Zhengze only remembered at this time and introduced himself.

Brian then finished introducing himself, and then asked curiously, "What I'm more curious about is your Chinese name." I noticed that Lu Ke didn't use the English name, but you did. ”

"Actually, Lu Ke has an English name." Lu Zhengze opened his mouth to speak, and then saw Lu Ke's annoyed expression on his face, which made Lu Zhengze laugh, but he had no intention of saving face for his son, "When I first came to the United States, in order to adapt to life here, we also gave him an English name, called Andrew." But ......"

Brian turned his head, looked Lu Ke up and down, laughed involuntarily, and shook his head again and again, "No, he's not Andrew." In him, there is no shadow of Andrew at all. Continuing to make up for it, Lu Ke took the name of "Andrew" and killed all sides on the court, and the vivid picture made Brian smile even more happily.

"I think he is still more suitable for Lu Ke (Luke)." The atmosphere relaxed slightly, and Brian's words became smoother, "I don't know if you are familiar with the movie 'Star Wars', the most important actor in it is called Luke Skywalker, which is a very special name. ”

His name also has a deep meaning in Chinese. Respectful, scrupulous, and cautious. Lu Zhengze explained, pausing slightly, "Sorry, you shouldn't be interested in Chinese." ”

Brian waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no, I'm interested. And what about your and Anne's Chinese names? ”

"Yes, my name is to expound justice and have the meaning of law, in line with etiquette, Lu Zhengze." Lu Zhengze introduced while digging out a pen and white paper under the coffee table, and wrote his Chinese name on it, "This is mine, this is Annie's." Anne's Chinese name is Jiang Youning. ”

Lu Zhengze's hard pen book is tough and dashing, with a Chinese charm at every fold.

"This means to be above board, to be safe and open." Jiang Youning's voice came from behind, holding a tray in his hand, placing several cups, and placing the cups on the coffee table, "Soda, are you sure?" There is also some beer at home if needed. ”

Brian smiled and replied, "That's good." No problem. Then he picked up his camera that was straddled diagonally, "Excuse me, can I take a picture?" I mean, Jack's font, I know, Chinese characters have calligraphy, and I think that's interesting. ”

"As long as it's the copybook, there's no problem." Lu Ke answered on behalf of his parents.

An interview from the San Francisco Chronicle, and also from the team's arrangement. Lu Ke knows that this is part of the job of a professional player, and even if it is not today, sooner or later it will need to be faced. What's more, he himself is a journalism professional, not only is he not excluded, but he is also very familiar with it.

The problem lies with Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning. Both of them are ordinary office workers, not professional footballers, let alone public figures. They have no interest in exposing themselves; Moreover, the potential problems that come with exposure may disturb their daily lives -

The fan harassment incident before the regular season was only two weeks ago.

Therefore, after discussion, Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning agreed to the interview, as Lu Ke's parents, they were originally part of Lu Ke's life. However, provided that any form of photography is not accepted; It's just a text interview, and the privacy of the two of them is protected as much as possible.

Brian made an "OK" gesture, and then added, "So, can you add Lu Ke's Chinese name?" ”

Seeing Lu Zhengze write "Lu Ke" with his own eyes, Brian couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this is much more complicated than English, it looks like a painting." The undisguised admiration made both Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning laugh.

Brian pressed the shutter and sat down again when he was done taking pictures, "Where did we just talk?" Yes, have you ever worried about Lu Ke's choice, if you can, I think he will be a good journalist. ”

"Definitely. As parents, it is our responsibility to worry about our children. Jiang Youning sat down next to Lu Zhengze and took the initiative to say, "But in the same way, it is also our responsibility to encourage and support children." To be honest, it's not an easy task for us because competitive sports, professional footballers, there are so many risks to face, but Lu Ke proved to us that he knows what he is doing and he knows what he desires. So, what we need to do is to stand behind him and give support. ”

Brian captured the tenacity in Jiang Youning's eyes, and after such contradictory emotions such as fragility and strength collided together, they burst into a tenacious light. At this moment, he seemed to understand the source of Lu Ke's brave heart.

"Before the regular season officially began, when the team announced that Lu Ke would become the main quarterback, some irrational fans made crazy moves, at that time, did you feel scared?" The reason why I visited Lu Ke's house today was to conduct an exclusive interview; Rather than just a one-on-one interview with Lu Ke, Brian just hopes to be able to understand Lu Ke's parents' thoughts face-to-face.

Now, Lu Ke is still facing the doubts and challenges of fans, and he needs more support and more motivation. So, after the interview began, Lu Ke, as the protagonist, became a bystander.

"Hehe, believe it or not, as immigrants living in the United States, we have experienced far more than you think." Lu Zhengze's understatement revealed too much information. "We are more worried about Lu Ke's situation than we are. Because he is the one who bears the wrath of the fans; He's the one standing on the pitch. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhengze sensed the power coming from his left hand - Jiang Youning held Lu Zhengze's left hand tightly, but the small movement revealed the worry and tension in his heart.

"We don't know what the hell those crazy fans are going to do." Lu Zhengze straightened his waist and said firmly, "But I want these fans to know that Lu Ke is working hard, he is working beyond imagination, he is trying to lead the team to victory, and all the fans need is a little more patience and a little more support." After all, we all have the same goals. ”

The simple words are full of sincerity and loudness.

Brian's gaze flickered slightly. Reflecting on his own report before the regular season, and thinking back to the images of the past two weeks, Brian was slightly embarrassed, but quickly covered it up, "That's true. After two consecutive weeks of wonderful performances, Lu Ke brought us victory. All the support, this is what he deserves. ”

Brian turned his head to look at Lu Ke, showed a smile, and expressed his support.

The following interview is getting better. Brian talked with Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, talking about Lu Ke's childhood anecdotes, Lu Ke's rugby enlightenment, the ups and downs during college, the defeat of the draft, the feelings of the past two weeks, the hard daily training, and the two couples' cognition and understanding of rugby......

Etcetera.

From the perspective of parents and family, re-examine Lu Ke's past as a professional player step by step. The whole conversation lasted about thirty minutes, and Brian had to admit that it was an eye-opener to look the other way.

In Lu Zhengze and his wife, the deep imprint of Chinese immigrants can still be seen, but they are trying to adapt to the immigrant life and make changes little by little. This also became an opportunity for Lu Ke to open his mind and integrate into life; It became the beginning of Lu Ke's career as a professional player.

Prejudice is always there, but it needs to be broken little by little. Brian deeply believes that today is the perfect start. He has begun to like Lu Ke, and perhaps, Lu Ke can really become the leading quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers.

After finishing some of the interviews between Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, Brian set his sights on today's real protagonist, Lu Ke, the person who has created miracles in the past two weeks.

"How did you feel as an undrafted rookie when the team decided that you would be the starting quarterback in Game 1 of the regular season, and you had only 10 days to prepare?"
