Lu Ke had the illusion that after the game, he was even busier than the game.

first took a shower, and then went to the infirmary to report, the team doctor once again conducted a relatively comprehensive examination, and determined that Lu Ke was only overexerting force in his right hand and arm, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the physiotherapy room to report, received a twenty-five minute ice bath, and after that, took another shower; Finally, head to the treatment room for a relaxing massage by a professional masseuse, not just the right hand and arm, but also the muscles of the whole body.

The whole process tossed for an hour, and it still didn't end.

From the perspective of interpretation on the one hand, the physical quality of the quarterback is indeed not as good as those strong players in the defensive group, and after many collisions, the team must be cautious enough, and it can also be considered that the team is still worried about Lu Ke's physical fitness.

But from the other side of interpretation, you can feel that the team attaches great importance to Lu Ke and treats it with priority specifications. Obviously, with three consecutive wins, Lu Ke is no longer a simple transitional backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers.

The muscles of the right arm are still a little sore and swollen, which is not a big problem, more of a need to relax and rest. Nearly every quarterback will be in a similar situation after a fierce game, especially those veterans who have been in the ring for many years.

That's what the league schedule is all about: after Sunday's game, Monday and Tuesday are rest days, Wednesday is a relaxation and recovery session, and Thursday is the return to official training for the following week's games. This gives the players plenty of rest and recovery time.

In fact, the league's Thursday Night game has been a source of controversy. Because Thursday night games mean that after Sunday's game, the team has no time to rest at all, and the next day they have to go into training to prepare for Thursday's game. The intensity and intensity of the game is kept at a very high level, and it is easy to lead to more injuries.

It's not just Lu Ke, it's not just the quarterback position. More than half of the players in the entire NFL are protesting and complaining about this, hoping that Thursday night games can be canceled. After all, no matter how strong they are, they are flesh and blood after all, and the body is really unbearable after continuous high-intensity confrontation.

But Thursday Night is the most commercially valuable, even surpassing Sunday Night and Monday Night. The league has consistently refused to cancel Thursday nights, and the players' union has chosen to support the league. The problem of Thursday night is difficult to solve in a short period of time.

However, for the San Francisco 49ers and Lu Ke, fortunately, the fourth week of the regular season is still a Sunday game.

In the middle of the massage, Lu Ke gradually relaxed, a sense of sleepiness hit, lying on the massage table, and gradually fell asleep, and when he woke up, the noise in the locker room was still extremely boiling, as if the celebration of victory was not over, "Are you awake?" Pack up, go back to the hotel early, and have a good rest. ”

"Lucas, thank you." Lu Ke rubbed his eyes, sat up, and thanked the masseuse, Lucas-Berger.

Lucas smiled and nodded, "Go back today and apply ice again, and tomorrow there will be no problem." Young people recover relatively quickly. Today's game, well played! As the masseur of the San Francisco 49ers, Lucas has also been with the team for several years, and this year's new atmosphere is indeed a long time coming.

Lu Ke chuckled, gave Lucas a thumbs up, and thanked him again; Then, he returned to the locker, packed his things, left the locker room, and was the first to return to the team bus, waiting for the arrival of the rest of his teammates.

After the end of the game, everything was whistling by, and there was no time to stop, and it was only now that Lu Ke had time to summon the system to test the completion of today's task.

The jingling news echoed in his mind, and Lu Ke thought that he had gradually become accustomed to the taste of victory, but the truth was that even with the third victory in a row, the joy and excitement were still fresh and boiling. You will never get tired of such moments.

The first is the race mission. After entering the third week of the regular season, the game tasks gradually became routine, just like the daily training tasks, and there were not many surprises; It's just that I don't know if this is the norm or if there will be more different content in the regular season in the future.

Complete a touchdown, three, plus three base points; The pass success rate is at least 60%, completed, and the base point is increased by one; Win the match, finish it, and add three base points.

Today, Lu Ke completed a total of three passing touchdowns, and one running touchdown, which was counted on Marcus Lynch's head, not Lu Ke. The task is obviously a passing touchdown, thus, three; In the end, Lu Ke gained seven base points, which was the same as the gain in the second week of the regular season.

Looking back on today's competition, the seemingly simple task of the game has always been facing serious challenges. From four sacks to tactical games, the game was full of uncertainty and demands on the quarterback before the fourth quarter, and he must not take it lightly.

However, before the fourth week of the game, Lu Ke has more important things to consider: the battle for the team's starting quarterback. Playing with strength, he needs to concentrate all his attention, and Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick are definitely not opponents to be taken lightly.

Gathering his thoughts for a moment, his eyes fell on the special mission. The last special mission came after halftime, and today's special mission came even more during the game, and he only had time to scan the mission requirements, and now he is not sure if he has completed the special mission.

"Special Mission: A Challenge from Keno Atkins.

Mission Description: In the third week of the regular season, the Cincinnati Tigers' defensive tackle Keno Atkins was stimulated and encouraged by fellow rookies Andy Dalton and Lu Ke, and showed his potential, improving his performance by 150%, and had a high chance of triggering a tackle and impact; At the same time, improving the state of the Tigers' defensive team will put more pressure on the San Francisco 49ers.

Requirements: Lead the offensive group to score, three or more times; Defeat Keno Atkins with three or more dodge grapples; Rely on yourself to win and disable special skills.

Mission rewards: +1 Points Ticket, +1 Unknown Special Skill Pack.

Penalties for defeat: 30 percent reduction in locker room prestige, 30 percent reduction in form in quarterback competition the following Thursday, and a top-down from Keno Atkins. ”

Browsed again, browsed again, this is not the first time that a special mission, Lu Ke thought that he had become accustomed to the routine of the system, but today he read the special mission again, and there were so many slots that he didn't know where to start complaining.

What is called "a look down from Keno Atkins", not contempt, but a look down! Atkins is nearly a head shorter than Lu Ke, Atkins is standing in front of him, he must be looking up, but the punishment for mission failure is looking down, what does this mean? Do you still want to get down on your knees?

Also, he doesn't have any dressing room prestige at all, and if he lowers it by another 30 percent, then how will he play next week! No, even the next Thursday's quarterback competition dropped by 30 percent, and he is not a quarterback with all-round strength, and in the competition with Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick, it is still unknown whether he will win or lose, and if his form drops, then it will be ...... There is no after.

"The punishment for mission failure is so severe, Xiao Qi, shouldn't you remind me in advance? In the course of the competition, the task jumped out like this, where did I have time to read carefully! Lu Ke only felt scared for a while.

During the game, in fact, Lu Ke didn't put too much thought into special tasks, because he had to observe the formation of the entire defensive group and read the dynamics of the entire defensive group; It is impossible for him to focus all his attention on Atkins, which will only lead to irreparable consequences.

The correct tactical arrangement is that Atkins will be given priority care to the corresponding offensive forwards, and the quarterback must be in control.

What's more, "dodge and capture three times", this task requires, Lu Ke has no concept at all, how it should be completed. Should he deliberately lure the snake out of the hole, let Atkins break through the attacking line, and then rely on his legs to get rid of the grap before the opponent can complete the takedown?

It's stupid enough to just imagine such a tactic, no quarterback would do that, and no quarterback should do that.

Therefore, throughout the game, Lu Ke paid close attention to Atkins, but did not forget the special task, but devoted himself to the game, and now after seeing the punishment for failure, he couldn't help but remember: What if the mission fails......

"Wait!" Lu Ke suddenly realized that he hadn't been sure whether the special task had been completed, so he hurriedly opened the unread message, and after seeing the message of "the special mission completed", he breathed a sigh of relief

In his mind, Xiao Qi remained silent and did not answer Lu Ke's question. Either it's not necessary, or it's just disdainful of answering.

After a pause, "There is a special task in the middle of the game, which requires concentrated reading. Xiao Qi said, "The reason why the special mission is special is that it is unique and important. ”

Lu Ke opened his mouth, unable to argue. Perhaps, the next time there is a special mission, he can read it carefully on the sidelines when the defensive team is on the field, so as to avoid the situation like today's again, even if it is a false alarm, he needs to be vigilant.

Fortunately, today's special mission was completed, and that's a good thing. Lu Ke was about to start checking his mission rewards, but a detail was recalled in his mind, "Xiao Qi, the mission description just now said that Atkins was stimulated by me and Dalton, which stimulated the potential state?" ”

"Yes." This time, Xiao Qi replied dryly.

Lu Ke couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "So, this is called ...... Self-inflicted? ”

Hey, it feels a little strange, isn't that a bad word here?
