Lei Qingkong actually started to tease, breaking the barrier between fans and stars, and the distance between the two sides was instantly shortened.

Lu Ke didn't mind, spread his hands, and said seriously, "I'm so sincere!" Please don't wronged me, okay? But the smile in the words still makes people laugh,

"By the way, I do have a question about promotion." Lu Ke then continued to ask, "Is there a rugby league in China now?" I mean a whole season with a relatively full schedule. I asked the staff of NFL China this morning, and they said that they were not very clear, and the league officials did not have relevant arrangements and plans for the time being. ”

"......" Lei Qingkong was silent for a moment, but still shook his head chokely, "No." Then he further added, "In the current environment, it is really difficult to start a league, not to mention volleyball and table tennis, even the football league and basketball league have encountered many difficulties. ”

In a simple sentence, Lu Ke could clearly feel Lei Qingkong's regret and helplessness.

But for such a situation, Lu Ke did not have any sense of resonance. Because he emigrated abroad at the age of eight, his knowledge of the current situation in China is infinitely close to zero, not to mention the intricacies of professional sports leagues.

Lei Qingkong also caught the confusion and confusion in Lu Ke's eyes, thought about it for a while, and then understood, "I know what you mean." Thank you for your comments. ”

Lu Ke shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Even the NFL league officials haven't figured it out, for me, this is even more heavenly." I'm still better suited to work the field. ”

The self-complaining joke made Lei Qingkong laugh.

"Bambi, the event is about to start, you have to start preparing." Vincent shouted from afar, interrupting the conversation between Lu Ke and Lei Qingkong.

Lu Ke had just finished training and was covered in stinky sweat, which was not the right way to open an interactive meeting for fans.

Lu Ke gestured to Lei Qingkong, and without him opening his mouth, Lei Qingkong took the initiative to say, "Hurry up and prepare." There are many more fans waiting for you to play. ”

Lu Ke snapped his fingers to show that he understood; After waving goodbye, he turned and trotted away.

Standing in place, Lei Qingkong thought about it seriously again, and then took a step in the direction where his friends were, obviously everyone had overheated their brains, and they were raising their volumes and roaring one by one.

"It's different, it's still different after all."

"Nonsense, otherwise how can you say that it is professional?"

"I don't think Bambi is going to be able to use 50 percent of his power today."

"I'm not talking about practice matches, but about the quality of Bambi's practice, not only dedication, but also the state of the whole person after putting into training. It's not for nothing that Bambi has been able to gain a foothold in the league. ”

"The reason why professionalism is called professionalism is not only the business part, but also the whole training system."

"Just now Bambi and I were training around the triangular cone, and we couldn't keep up at all, and as soon as I got nervous, I started mixing garlic, and we couldn't even catch up with the 40-yard sprint that everyone said was the worst performance of Bambi. I used to think that they were all ordinary people, and no matter how they were, the gap was not big......"

"You and Usain Bolt try to run, and you must be speechless."

Every face is full of vigor and sunshine, and they can't wait to share their gains and insights, just a training session, but it has become completely different, Lei Qingkong can't help but start thinking, if they can really establish their own league and invite NFL professional teams to come over to participate in exhibition games, what will it be like?

In 2005, Lei Qingkong once established the Guiyang Night Wolf Rugby Club in his hometown, unfortunately, in 2006, he went to work in the magic capital, and had to regretfully suspend the club's work, in a blink of an eye, it was six years later, but during this time, American football fans gathered together in the magic capital, but gradually increased his love for rugby.

The enthusiasm that I once thought would cool down with the passage of time is still burning.

……

Chen Muyan was slightly surprised to look at the crowd pouring in at the gate of Hongkou Football Stadium, and after experiencing the grand occasion of Pudong International Airport, she was mentally prepared

Obviously, there are far more rugby fans in the country than you think. As predicted by the NFL official, because of Lu Ke's arrival, they all arrived in the magic capital to join the event.

But an airport is an airport, and a football field is a football field. The site of Pudong International Airport is only capped at 500 people at most, while the Hongkou Football Stadium is a modern venue that can accommodate 35,000 people, which is not at all two occasions of the same level.

NFL China once considered choosing a primary school football field as today's activity venue, but after thinking about it, it still felt that it was not suitable, and finally chose Hongkou Football Stadium, because they planned to imitate the professional bowl skills game inside the venue, set up some related activities, attract more audiences to really participate in it, so that everyone can truly experience the fun of rugby.

Considering the scale of the Hongkou Football Stadium, the event planner further put forward the idea of allowing the audience to enter the stadium and surround the running track, so that everyone can feel the enthusiasm of the scene as close as possible, and at the same time reduce the depression and desolation caused by the empty stands as much as possible.

But now Chen Muyan realizes that maybe they should change their plans.

In an endless stream!

A real stream!

Not only real rugby fans, but also many curious fans arrived at the scene:

The first Chinese-American player to become the starting quarterback of the NFL, the first Chinese-American player to complete many historical records such as touchdowns, playoffs, and Mary in the same season, and the first player to become the Rookie of the Season as an undrafted rookie, and even contributed one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history.

All of them hung above Lu Ke's head like a mysterious aura, not only Weibo, WeChat and Tieba, but also the sports news of major mainstream TV stations have also been reported and spread overwhelmingly, even if it is just to join in the fun, countless viewers have also flocked to it.

Such a grand occasion, except for Yao/Ming and Liu/Xiang, may never be seen again.

It's a window into the mysterious world of rugby, and for the first time really shows how Chinese players can do wonders on this stage; However, it is not known how much effect this window will have, and how many aftermaths it will bring

What is certain is that Lu Ke's performance in the sophomore season will largely determine the final results.

Chen Muyan's guess came true: nearly 10,000 fans and spectators poured into the Hongkou Football Stadium in one go.

Compared with the throughput of the stadium, the scene is filled with less than a third, which does not seem to be lively; But compared to rugby's domestic activities, this is an unprecedented success.

The natural closeness created by the prefix "Chinese" makes people curious; Moreover, it was not a random substitute player, but the main quarterback who led the team to the conference finals, which was an unimaginable success; What's more, when Lu Ke appeared on the scene and communicated in standard Chinese, his empathetic actions and excitement became more and more enthusiastic.

Both the afternoon and evening events were a great success.

"Bambi! Bambi! Bambi! ”

Even if they didn't understand what this title meant, under the cascading effect, everyone involuntarily integrated into it and became a member, cheering and shouting hoarsely, and the mighty echo lingered over the Hongkou Football Stadium for a long time.

The next morning, Lu Ke accepted a series of interviews and activities; At noon, the relevant off-season training was completed; In the afternoon, I took part in a street activity and played a game of target shooting with rugby with passers-by to see who had the passing touch of a quarterback.

After all the activities were over, without pause, Lu Ke rushed to Pudong International Airport and hurriedly ended the two-day and one-night publicity trip.

But in fact, the relevant reports have been on the major portals for nearly a month, and countless people have begun to popularize Lu Ke's brilliant achievements in the past season, to some extent, even heavier than Yao/Ming's weight in the NBA Of course, these two things are not comparable in themselves, just an analogy.

Preliminarily, the rugby represented by the name "Lu Ke" has entered the sight of the general public.

This is an incredibly solid first step.

……

After returning to Los Angeles, Lu Ke still deeply misses the short two days he spent in the magic capital, and the lovely fan faces are the future of rugby, and he sincerely looks forward to seeing more Asian faces appear on the NFL court in the future and join this exciting sport together.

Just thinking about it, Lu Ke became more and more excited: so, he decided to practice more tomorrow.

But that was tomorrow, after leaving Los Angeles International Airport, Lu Ke went straight back to his temporary apartment, but did not leave the car in a hurry, but dialed Lu Zhengze's phone.

This time, Lu Ke's suitcase didn't have anything else superfluous, just stuffed with all kinds of souvenirs, all of which were specially purchased for Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, and then they could use them to give them to their neighbors, or they could keep them at home as a souvenir.

Through the phone, Lu Ke answered all the questions honestly, answered everything about the magic capital, and obediently listened to Jiang Youning's memories of his past in his hometown, for nearly an hour, Lu Ke said that he would send the souvenir back when he turned around, and then hung up the phone.

Opening the car door, Lu Ke dragged his suitcase and walked towards the house, and saw a small figure curled up in the porch from a distance.
