The morning sun is lazily falling, the dark blue night is slowly fading, the gentle breeze blows, and I can't help but shiver, September is still hot summer in California, but San Francisco has already smelled the smell of early autumn, no wonder Mark Twain (Mark Twain) said, "The coldest winter I have ever experienced is the summer in San Francisco." ”

In the blink of an eye, Wednesday has arrived, and before we even have time to digest it, the short vacation time is over, and the third week of the regular season must start to get busy.

Today is going to be a busy day. First came the media day, then the "San Francisco Chronicle" photo session, then the resumption of training, and then all the players of the team gathered to watch the video of the second week of the game-

Although it is said that Lu Ke has spent most of the day watching the game video yesterday; However, this is the player's personal preparation. Today is the team's collective preparation, analyzing tactics, analyzing coordination, analyzing gains and losses, and so on.

After two weeks of adaptation, Lu Ke is now slowly adjusting his training schedule, according to the team, according to the difference in the schedule, Monday to Friday, each day of the training schedule must be adjusted accordingly.

For example, today is Wednesday, after getting up in the morning, Lu Ke did not immediately start strenuous exercise, but first jogged on the treadmill for 20 minutes, and then began to warm up exercises, pull-ups, parallel bar arm supports, push-ups, three sets of each item, 15 to 20 times per group; This was followed by a 10,000-meter variable speed endurance run, and after returning, I went to the training base to start strength training.

Overall, today, Lu Ke divided his daily training tasks into three parts, which were completed in three different periods throughout the day. It can not only cooperate with the team's plan, but also complement the team's training and system tasks; It can also adapt to the "return to training" tone on Wednesday and relax the intensity of the training a little.

Of course, adapting to the professional league is a long process, and now it's only two weeks, and the planning is bound to be unreasonable, and with the accumulation of experience, it will gradually become more and more familiar.

After changing clothes, changing into running shoes, leaving the house, ready to start today's variable speed endurance run, along the slope, the pace began to slowly pick up, all the way up, and began to adjust the breathing in the climbing mode, but only half a block away, at the intersection of streets and streets, Lu Ke's footsteps stopped.

On the side of the road sat a gray-haired old man, with a wooden cane at his feet, and a dark blue handkerchief in his hand, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and his slightly pale face looked like he was experiencing physical torture; He didn't even bother with his dark gray tailored suit, sitting cross-legged on the floor, panting.

"Sir, do you need help?" Lu Ke retreated, squatted down, and asked with concern.

It's just over seven o'clock, the cool air is causing goosebumps on the skin, there aren't too many pedestrians on the streets, and the weekday morning is just waking up, and the quiet and chilly atmosphere flows between the neighborhoods. It seems that the old gentleman was on his morning walk when he unexpectedly ran into a little trouble.

The old man did not speak, but methodically adjusted his breathing, took a deep breath, took a deep breath again, and then a helpless self-deprecating smile appeared on the cheek full of vicissitudes and wrinkles, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, the cycle of years, after reaching a certain age, the body began to protest the strike, and many parts were in trouble." ”

"I thought it was something that everybody had to face, regardless of age." Seeing that the other party was fine, Lu Ke was a little relieved, and said with a smile, "It's just that there are a little more problems brought about by age, and at the same time, it is accompanied by life experience and wisdom, so there are gains and losses, and we can't be too greedy." ”

Sensing the old man's smile and frowning brows, Lu Ke asked again with concern, "Are you okay?" I can call '911' if you need it. ”

In the United States, "911" is more than just a police call. Any request can be made to this number, and then describe your situation to the operator, who will make a judgment and choice, and make further calls to the hospital, police station, fire department, etc. So, if you don't remember the detailed call number, or if you are not sure who to turn to for help in the current situation, then choosing "911" is the easiest and most straightforward.

The old man did not speak, but covered his heart, which seemed to be carrying a load beyond the scope of his body, bringing about a chain reaction.

Without too much hesitation, Lu Ke took down the mobile phone on the sports armband and prepared to dial.

"Don't worry." The old man raised his right hand and waved it gently, "It's just that the old man is physically exhausted." In order to convince Lu Ke, he raised his head and showed a big smile, "Believe me, I have no plans to disarm and surrender now, if there is a problem, I am more anxious than you." ”

Lu Ke was slightly stunned, and then he saw the banter and ridicule in the old man's eyes, and smiled dumbly, "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes, I'm sure." The old man gently retracted his chin, but his weak tone was full of determination.

He looked about sixty years old, perhaps even older, with wrinkles on his cheeks that looked like dried oranges; The neat three-piece suit seems a little out of place at this time, it is really too formal, but it reflects his taste, and it looks like he should be a guy with class and status.

At this time, two blushes flew on the white cheeks, and the sweat oozing from the forehead and neck revealed a touch of weakness; However, he had a pair of bright eyes, showing a clear emerald green in the thin morning light, and that energetic gaze showed a youth that did not match his age and body.

Lu Ke nodded slightly, indicating understanding. He believed that the old man was indeed fine.

"That's good." Lu Ke didn't continue to advise, "I'm on the way to go for a morning jog, so I'll leave first." He didn't stay any longer, but Lu Ke didn't leave immediately, he raised his head and looked left and right, "If you still don't feel well, this is Casani's family, he is Italian, hospitable, and not very reliable at critical moments, but he can still be trusted to call '911'." ”

The old man smiled dumbly and nodded slightly, "Thank you for the advice." ”

Lu Ke smiled, then waved his hand, got up, started again, and threw himself into today's run.

Leigh-Steinberg let out a long, long exhale, his slightly stuffy chest was slightly relieved, and he raised his head to look at Lu Ke's departing back, watching the young man drift away, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and his rosy cheeks gradually returning to normal.

Although it was only a brief relationship, Lu Ke left a good impression on Lech: warm, humorous, and approachable; In the face of unexpected situations, they can make judgments and be helpful in a short period of time, but they do not have a flood of love, and they can do it within their ability. More importantly, the eyes are firm and the will is strong. Maintain a high intensity throughout your daily training routine.

For a young rookie under the age of twenty-two, it is really rare.

Of course, as the first Chinese quarterback to start in league history, and also led the team to two consecutive wins, this player is bound to have certain qualities that ordinary people do not have; Otherwise, it's just luck, which is not a good explanation.

However, it is rare for a rookie in the league to have such a posture, but it is not uncommon; The question is, how long can it be kept? Especially after the attention and lights are flocking, after wealth and fame are surrounded, how long can this pure heart last?

Without a hurry to get up, Lech sat peacefully in place, quietly waiting for his breathing and heartbeat to calm down.

When he had fully recovered, Lech grabbed the crutches beside him, used the support point, staggered to his feet, and then, with unhurried steps, began to descend, and within half a street of distance, he found his destination and stopped in front of a house.

Leaning slightly against the fence with his hands folded on his crutches, his eyes falling on the red mailbox next to him, painted with white paint, "lu".

This house is Lu Ke's home.

Early this morning, visit Lu Ke and get to know Lu Ke, this is Lech's task; But the small heart problem was an accident, and the early meeting with Lu Ke was even more of an accident. One accident meets another, but there is an unexpected gain; Now, after the accident is over, it's time to get back on track.

Patiently, immensely patiently, Lech was not in the slightest hurry, and patiently stood in place and waited.

After the passage of time, there were fragmented running footsteps and steady breathing adjustments in my ears, and I could see Lu Ke who was gradually slowing down, sweating profusely and flushing his cheeks, but his eyes were still clear and bright, vaguely revealing a touch of surprise, obviously not mentally prepared for such a reunion.

"Hey, is there anything I can do to help you?" Lu Ke's footsteps stopped five steps away from Lehe, and his body exuded an aura of vigilance-

The old man who met unexpectedly just now appeared at the door of his house at this time, and it was still early in the morning, which revealed strangeness everywhere.

Lech didn't mind, shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not a fanatical fan who came here to make trouble." He knew about the excesses of the fans before, which also led to the full launch of Lu Ke's vigilance.

But this sentence still did not make Lu Ke relax, Lech slowly took out a small silver box from the pocket of his suit, you can see the exquisite picture and retro buckles, but the small objects also reveal dignity.

Opening the box, Lech pulled out a piece of white cardboard with outstanding texture and handed it over, "Good morning, although we have already met, please allow me to formally introduce myself." Lech Steinberg, agent. ”

Lu Ke took the jam and glanced down. This is a business card, simple and elegant, you can feel the texture and pattern of the card at your fingertips, there is no extra decoration on it, just a name and a title:

"Agent, Lech Steinberg."
