San Francisco's 49ers' offensive team left the court, giving up space to their Secret Service teammates.

"Bambi." Jim Hubble stopped Lu Ke's footsteps, Lu Ke paused, cast a puzzled look, and his mind tensed slightly, but then Jim gave a thumbs up, "Pass beautifully!" After praising him, he nodded, didn't say anything more, and signaled that Lu Ke could leave.

Lu Ke was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Jim was worried about his right arm problem, and in the case of an absolute lead in the score, he might send a backup quarterback - Alex Smith - to let him get used to the atmosphere of the game; But apparently, this is just a false alarm. Then, Lu Ke showed a smile, nodded his head, and turned to leave.

"Yay! Buddy! ”

"Well done!"

"Wonderful! It's so exciting! ”

"Beautiful!"

"Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown!"

……

Along the way, every player raised their right hand high and high-fived Lu Ke in celebration, even Vernon Davis, who was not able to play in today's game, was no exception, did not say anything, but still stood in the crowd to complete the action.

Later, more and more people came forward to celebrate, and the players in the defensive group also stepped forward, and the high-fives could not go on, so everyone enthusiastically patted Lu Ke's shoulders and back to congratulate him. Faintly, Lu Ke also caught a glimpse of Alex Smith and Scott Tolsing.

At least on television, the San Francisco 49ers were in good spirits.

Finally, he sat down on the sidelines, and at this time, the special service team also completed the kicking of the additional points, "10:24", and the San Francisco 49ers pulled the score away again; At this point, with five minutes and 21 seconds left in the fourth quarter, there was still plenty of time left for the Cincinnati Tigers to see how Andy Dalton played.

This "No. 14 rookie quarterback battle" has really entered a critical moment when the bayonet is red.

Walking through the crowd, Lu Ke's gaze was also tightly locked on Dalton's body. In the rookie training camp before, the two didn't communicate much, just nodded friends, and neither of them was the radiant quarterback in training camp, but who would have thought that now the two of them would compete for their own teams?

A figure walked in front of Lu Ke's eyes, interrupting his gaze, and then sat down beside him. Turning his head, Lu Ke saw Kip Kleist's chubby and honest face, and cast his gaze puzzled, "What, is there any special arrangement for tactics?" ”

Kip had a smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha, "No, no, no." You've done a great job. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for more. ”

In the 49-member coaching team, Kip has always looked at Lu Ke differently and has a blue eye. Part of the reason is from Adam Klein's friendship, and more because of Lu Ke's diligence and hard work.

On the football field, there are countless talents, but in fact, after entering the NFL, the performance of talents is often not satisfactory, but those who are drafted in the third and fourth rounds are the backbone players who can adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the league game more quickly.

The reason is not complicated, the pride of the sky is often smooth sailing in the NCAA league, and there are not many frustrations, it seems that everything is at your fingertips with only a little talent; After turning professional, the slightest difficulty can make them languish. What's more, the NFL's difficulties are far from "a little bit", but a head-on blow.

During the offseason training camp, the veteran players trained the rookie players fiercely, and even played pranks. The teams knew what they knew, but they didn't stop it, and in addition to the fact that it was a team tradition, there was no reason for the rookies to adapt to the intensity of the professional league as quickly as possible.

Of course, those proud sons of the sky, after experiencing wind and rain, can grow up again, their upper limit is naturally unlimited. Like Peyton Manning, like Aaron Rodgers.

Lu Ke is an unsuccessful rookie, always down-to-earth, diligent, and conscientious. After being ordered in danger, he won two consecutive victories, but he was still not arrogant or impatient, and he carried out training in a down-to-earth manner, which successfully won Kip's trust. In the current quarterback race for the team, Kip is an unwavering supporter of Luke.

Alex Smith is too calm, lacking passion and guts; Colin Kaepernick is too impatient and has the typical traits of a college game talent; And Scott Tolsin is still not strong enough after all. So, is Lu Ke perfect? Of course not, his shortcomings are still very obvious, but Lu Ke is indeed the best choice for the San Francisco 49ers now.

This is Kip's idea.

"Bambi, I just wanted to tell you that you did a great job. Trust me, your strengths are more obvious than you think, don't try too hard. Kip finished without a word, then stood up, held a beer belly, and walked away.

Sitting in place, Lu Ke was slightly stunned, one sentence derived countless possibilities, but before he had time to explore all the possibilities, the player's game assistant walked over quickly - said that it was an assistant, but it was actually a caddy, a caddy responsible for handing towels, water bottles, and helmets.

"Bambi!" Lu Ke turned his head to look over, and then he saw a bright smile on the caddy's face, "Uh, Kip asked me to give it to you." Then he handed over an ice pack, and an elastic band to bind the ice pack.

All the questions were clearly explained.

Kip noticed that Lu Ke's small problem with his right hand, for the quarterback coach, the quarterback's passing actions and habits have been deeply imprinted in their minds, and if there is a problem, they must be the first to find out - as for those who are careless and do not find the problem, such a quarterback coach is estimated to be fired in a short time; Or maybe the quarterback is directly injured.

Lu Ke smiled dumbly and took the ice pack, "Thank you, Thomas." ”

The smile in the corners of Thomas-Robinson's eyes and mouth couldn't help but raise it. He also joined the team this season, not long after graduating from high school, and almost no one on the team remembered his name, everyone just called, "you", or, "that him".

But now, Lu Ke remembers his name.

"No, I don't. It's my job. Thomas chuckled, "Need my help?" He took the initiative to step forward, signaled, and after getting Lu Ke's permission, he helped put the ice pack outside Lu Ke's biceps, and then restrained it with an elastic band, "Bambi, I mean, Lu Ke, the long pass just now is really beautiful." ”

"Thank you. You can call me Bambi. It's just a nickname. Lu Ke said with a smile, "Also, please give me the tactical manual, okay?" The cover is marked with the number four one, yes. Thank you. Then, Lu Ke began to flip through the tactical manual in his hand, and everything could not be taken lightly before the game was over.

On the court, the offensive group of the Cincinnati Tigers and the defensive group of the San Francisco 49ers launched a bayonet duel, and it can be seen that Andy Dalton is now completely in full fire mode, leading the team's determination to bite the score more earnestly than ever.

With 5 minutes and 21 seconds left in the game, theoretically speaking, there is still plenty of time, but it is very difficult. Now, the Cincinnati Tigers are eleven points behind, which means they need to score quickly, whether it's a free kick or a touchdown, and they have to get points in a short period of time to close the scoreline.

Then, through the defensive group, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive group quickly struck out to ensure that Dalton could play again and get a chance to make a comeback.

It's not just about scoring, it's about quick scoring. If this wave of attacks consumes too long, even if the score is scored, there is not much time left in the game, and the window left for the Tigers will become smaller and smaller.

This sense of urgency constantly urged the Tigers' attacking group to tighten and tighten like clockwork.

However, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. In the last eight gears, Dalton's pass has missed position, once; The receiver catches the ball and takes it off, once; The 49ers defense slaps a pass, once. The whole offense stumbled and stumbled, not only did it lose momentum, but it became more and more chaotic.

It's not that Dalton is performing badly, objectively speaking, if it weren't for Dalton's stabilization of the army's morale, he first passed a fourteen-yard middle pass, and the third gear conversion was successful; Then it was the Grabs who escaped the sack, completed a six-yard short pass, and stubbornly led the team ongoing, and the Tigers were now out of the game with a strikeout.

But even so, the Tigers' offensive team was still unable to organize an effective attack, and in the case of three gears and four yards, the receiver buttered his hand and caught the rugby, but like a clown juggling, he kept throwing the rugby and finally failed to catch it. It is a sad announcement that the Tigers' offensive came to an abrupt end.

As the brain of the team, the role of the quarterback is crucial, but in the game of football, there are no limbs, no torso, only a brain, and the quarterback still has nothing to do, but to look at the ball and sigh. Dalton stood on the pitch with his hands on his waist, his back lonely, and he was a little helpless.

Butter Hands, their attack actually ended in Butter Hands, which is really helpless. Dalton can condemn opponents for making mistakes at critical moments, but competitive sports are not so simple -

The premise is that the San Francisco 49ers burst out in a strong confrontation and broke through the excellent defense of the Cincinnati Tigers; As a result, the Cincinnati Tigers' offensive players were nervous and made mistakes under pressure. No one wants to see a turnover like that, and that's true for quarterbacks, and the same is true for wide receivers.

So, it took two minutes and five seconds, and before half time was pushed over, the Tigers' offensive team was announced.

The only good news is that with three minutes and 16 seconds left on the game clock, if the Tigers' defensive team can rise up and stifle the San Francisco 49ers' offense as quickly as possible, then Dalton still has a chance to complete the redemption. Just like in NBA basketball, there is still the potential for reversal, and so is the game of football. Anything is possible.

It was under such circumstances that Lu Ke removed the ice pack on his arm and led the team on the field again, ready to kill the game!
