The two reporters didn't know where they came out, appeared out of thin air, and in a thunderous posture, raised the recorder high, aimed at Lu Ke and Sophie, and shouted, "Bambi! Bambi, is this your girlfriend? Regardless of the ground, a bomb was thrown in front of him, and it exploded with a "bang", causing his head to buzz.

Girlfriend? Wait, girlfriend?

Lu Ke and Sophie were both stunned, and reflexively exchanged glances, and the expressions in their eyes were a little stunned and stunned. But then, thirty seconds ago, Marcus's joke echoed in his ears again, "Lu Ke and Sophie are sitting on a tree", inexplicably a little panicked, and the two of them looked away at the same time, as if they were burning to their fingertips.

"It's not!" Sophie immediately hurriedly defended, but her usual sharp teeth suddenly knotted, "Of course not, I mean, no!" ”

The same word, "NO," is repeated over and over again, and other than that, it seems that the brain is blank and unable to organize effective speech. Ridiculous, this statement was so ridiculous that it caught her off guard that she didn't know how to respond.

Lu Ke, who was standing next to him, was a little stunned at first, but then noticed that Sophie was in a hurry, and immediately couldn't help laughing.

However, he politely controlled his smile and replied seriously, "Do you have to report the scandal every time you see a man and a woman standing together?" Then the next time, when you see a man standing with a man, you probably have to report it out of the closet, right? Then our team is actually a bit dangerous. ”

Sophie was stunned, didn't hold back, and laughed "poof", especially when she saw the bewildered expressions of the two reporters, she couldn't hold back the smile anymore. The panic just now vanished in an instant, as if by magic, and he regained his composure and composure.

Lu Ke showed a big smile to the reporter, "This is our team's press officer assistant, Miss Sophie Brooke, we are talking about work. So, please don't speculate. ”

"Miss Brooke, is that so?" The two reporters didn't buy it at all, and then asked.

"Yes, I am indeed an assistant to the press officer. You can ask me about the team and the game; But about my personal private life, please forgive me for my faux pas, it has nothing to do with work. After calming down, Sophie's words became sharp again, "May I ask which newspaper are you reporters?" You should know that for professional players, it's the right thing to do about what they do on the pitch and we're going through a ...... as a team."

Not just answered, at the same time Sophie began to fight back. As the press department of a professional team, PR is their purview, protecting the reputation of the players, maintaining the prestige of the team, this is the scope of work, and now Sophie is fulfilling it.

Sophie gradually took control of the scene, and at the same time, several other reporters rushed up to the door of the hotel. It can be seen that they have been waiting near the hotel, waiting for the opportunity to interview, not for the performance on the court, but for the private life outside the court.

The official itinerary of the 49 people in San Francisco is not difficult for reporters to inquire about. So, they also know that there are still almost two hours left before the airport; And Jim Hubble didn't give an order to go out, so the players could leave the hotel and relax as they wanted.

Compared to San Francisco, Philadelphia is a city with a much deeper history and at the same time a more American city. It's worth a visit.

In fact, outside of the game, many players have their own private life problems. Taking advantage of these two hours to go to the bar to drink, or splurge on shopping, or to cause trouble on the streets, is a case of countless cases in the league, and it is also the focus of gossip captured by reporters on the sidelines.

At this moment, journalists are waiting for such an opportunity. Therefore, when they saw Lu Ke and Sophie, their first reaction was a scandal, which has almost become their second professional instinct/ability.

Now, Sophie is in control, which means that there is nothing to do with Lu Ke. So, he quietly moved his feet, trying to eliminate his presence and stay away from the gossipy reporters.

Before he could leave completely, suddenly, the door of the hotel opened, and a warm breeze rushed out, and then I saw a tall, thin black boy.

A black hat T, black sweatpants with a pair of red sneakers, a black San Francisco 49 hat on his head, and a pair of big gold earplugs around his neck.

One second, two seconds.

The reporters only hesitated for a moment, and then pounced like a flood of beasts, engulfing the black boy in an instant, and the deafening questions came and went.

"Colin, what are your thoughts on this game?" "Do you think you can get a starting position?" "What happened in training last week?" "Now as the team's fourth quarterback, is it because your body hasn't recovered yet?" "Are you confident you'll be able to play next week?" "The team lost this week, do you think you have a chance?"

The piercing and sharp question smashed down his head and face like a storm, and even Lu Ke, as a bystander, couldn't help frowning, as if he could feel the heat and pain personally.

In front of you, it was Colin Kaepernick.

This year's draft is considered a big year for quarterbacks, and the competition is fierce. Kaepernick was drafted with the 36th pick in the second round and the sixth quarterback to be drafted in the conference.

Faced with Alex Smith's unexpected injury, Kaepernick was forced to start the position, which was supposed to be a golden opportunity to be a savior, leading the team out of the slump and creating a bright future; But the reality was brutal, and not only did he lose four preseason games, but he also lost the battle for the starting quarterback.

The future star on top of the draft, less than six months later, was reduced to the team's fourth-quarter back, even behind Scott Tolsing. The vicissitudes of life, sighing.

Needless to say, Kaepernick is another gossip focus; Especially after the San Francisco 49ers lost the game this week, the quarterback battle is bound to come up again. After all, it is only one undrafted rookie who occupies the starting position now, and has only played four full games in his career, and his foundation is still shaky.

As a result, Kaepernick, who was originally going to go out to breathe, instantly became the target of reporters chasing and beating, like a lost dog, so he was not embarrassed.

Lu Ke and Sophie unexpectedly exchanged glances, Lu Ke spread his hands and said that he could not do anything, but Sophie could not stand by and protect the team's players, this is her job. Therefore, Sophie could only exhale helplessly, without further hesitation, walked forward quickly, and began to maintain order.

More and more reporters surrounded him, the surging crowd continued, and the crowd surrounding Kaepernick was like a marshmallow, circle after circle, and circle again, becoming more and more bloated, which made Lu Ke stunned, completely unaware of where these reporters came from, just like ghosts.

Looking at the impassable and tight hotel gate, Lu Ke decided to give up the plan to break through head-on, walked down the stairs quickly, and walked around the street on the side of the hotel, preparing to enter through the back door.

The noise behind him was still noisy and surging in a way that even a spectator could find it unbelievable; The other players in the hotel lobby also noticed the commotion at the door and gathered in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the excitement.

"Bambi, could you sign it for me?"

Suddenly, a voice exploded in front of him, and after experiencing the attack of the reporter just now, Lu Ke reflexively took a big step back, turned his head to look straight ahead, and then realized that he kept turning back, walking without looking at the road, and was almost about to hit it head-on, but fortunately, the brakes were in time.

Fortunately, Lu Ke noticed the young girl in front of him, wearing a blue cap, covering most of her face, but this was enough, the mouth, the shoulders, the waistline, and the long legs...... The most important thing is that the smell of sunshine emanating from all over the body is so familiar that it is recognizable just by sight.

Candace Swanepour. A familiar and unfamiliar object, familiar because they have known each other for a long time, and strange because they can meet in Philadelphia by accident.

"Hey, little beauty, why are you here?" The smile on the corner of Lu Ke's mouth couldn't help but rise brightly.

Candace pursed her lips and raised her head with an inquiring expression on her face, "God, how did you recognize me?" I'm dressed so low-key today that I don't think even the photographer will recognize me. ”

"Because you're Sugar Candy." Lu Ke's answer was so simple and unreasonable, but it made Candace drop her shoulders helplessly, "Okay, there is no way to refute this answer." Fortunately, you didn't say that you know me when you turned into ashes, otherwise 'two little guesses' would have become 'supernatural sixth sense'. ”

"Are you sure you're not an 'exorcist'?" Lu Ke's joke made Candace laugh out loud, "Haha, I like this stalk." Next time I'll say to those Victoria's Secret angels, haha. That hearty laughter instantly brightened the Philadelphia sunshine.

Lu Ke looked back at the dense circle of reporters, "Let's go, let's get out of here first, otherwise in the next second, we will become honey." ”

"Honey? Are they bears? Candace caught Lu Ke's laughter at once, and the two of them walked forward with a smile.

The two reporters standing in the group of reporters inadvertently caught Lu Ke and Candace who were leaving, and their pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly:

Wait, that's ...... Candace Swanepour? However, why did Lu Ke and Candace know each other?
