Jade turned to leave, he took a step in the direction of Vernon, and Lu Ke stood in place, the whole feeling was a little subtle and a little strange.

Could it be that he was overthinking?

It is undeniable that Jim Hubble gave Lu Ke a lot of freedom on the court, and he was willing to listen to Lu Ke's opinions in the tactical layout at critical moments, which also made their cooperation always smooth sailing and bursting out with infinite sparks, which undoubtedly allowed Lu Ke to get the most room to play.

But all of this is premised on:

The playbook is the brainchild of Hubble and the entire coaching staff, and those tactical permutations and combinations are all based on Hubble's experience and whimsy.

The reason why the head coach can become the head coach is because he has his own detailed ideas and clear ideas about the overall situation, tactics and games, just like Hubble is good at offense and Carroll is good at defense, the tactical system they have built is clearly reflected on their own team, from player configuration to tactical layout, from formation framework to game preparation, all the strategic foundation comes from the head coach.

It is true that some managers are not good at on-the-spot layout or improvisation, and the person responsible for shouting tactics in the actual game process is not necessarily the head coach, it may be the coach of the defensive team, it may be the director of the tactical room, and even some team managers will also participate in the discussion of the tactical layout on the spot, but their tactical system and theoretical framework are all from the head coach, which is beyond doubt.

In the same way, the head coach gives the quarterback on-the-spot tactical command, which can also be understood in this way: the entire knowledge framework and wisdom crystallization all come from the head coach, but the quarterback flexibly uses it according to the rapidly changing process of the game, giving the tactical manual more vitality.

A head coach who lacks a good quarterback to execute his tactics, or a quarterback who lacks a top coach to coach him, is not going to win; Not to mention the coordination and cooperation of different links such as the offensive team, the defensive team, and the special service team, it is evident everywhere that rugby is an absolutely collective sport, and any mistake in any link may lead to the victory gradually disappearing - the importance of the head coach and team manager is becoming more and more prominent.

The situation is a bit reversed from the last two seasons.

Previously, people saw more of the innovation brought by Hubble at the tactical level, reproducing the glory of the West Coast's offensive tactical system, just like Carroll this season - the entire defensive system of the Bombers and front-line pressure has become the research object of all defensive coaches in the league, which has also made the controversy surrounding Lu Ke never disappear, and some people still think that Lu Ke is just a role player.

Now, everyone has seen Lu Ke's outstanding performance on the court, especially when the team is plagued by injuries, whether Lu Ke will appear or not can be said to be a judgment of the two, which also highlights Lu Ke's ability more and more.

So much so that now Lu Ke's position in the team even faintly surpasses Hubble, which is the hint in Jed's words just now, as if there is no Hubble, as long as Lu Ke stays in the team, he can still continue the offensive strength of the San Francisco 49ers; But the truth is no.

Lu Ke must admit that Jed's words have greatly satisfied his self-esteem and pride, as if standing at the center of the world or the top of a mountain, he can control the life and death of the entire team, he can change the fate of the entire team, and the entire locker room is under his command!

This "God's perspective" really made the whole ribcage swell, and even a little carried away.

However, deep down, Lu Ke has always maintained a trace of sanity, reminding himself all the time: he is also a member of the San Francisco 49ers team, he walks side by side with his comrades, suffers defeat and enjoys victory together, although as a quarterback, although as the captain of the offensive team, this does not mean that he is superior; What's more, for all victories, Hubble must have his name, there is no doubt about it.

What's more, maybe Lu Ke can be a good quarterback, but it doesn't mean that he can be a good coach - at least not yet, he's only been in the league for three seasons, he still has so much to learn, and Hubble is still the best helmsman for the team.

Despite this, Jed's words still have a powerful impact, as if Jade has put the key to unlocking his superpowers in the palm of his hand, as long as he closes his fingertips and clenches his fists, he can transform into a superhero and do whatever he wants, the kind of temptation/temptation is really hard to refuse.

Lu Ke hopes that he is cranky - but here's the problem, if Jade doesn't mean that at all, and he makes up so much content in his own head, what does this mean? Is it the deepest feeling in my heart?

No, no, no, he can't continue to let this kind of thinking grow, it's really, really dangerous.

"What's wrong?" A voice interrupted Lu Ke's thoughts, and when he raised his head, he saw Lehe standing in front of him, which made Lu Ke breathe a sigh of relief, and Lehe couldn't help but chuckle, "You don't look right, what's wrong?" ”

"No, I just ...... Divergent thinking is a little derailed......" Lu Ke subconsciously denied it, but paused for a moment and looked at Lech in front of him-

His thoughts, if not Lech, who else can he tell? Obviously, Lech was the best and probably the only person to talk to, and he didn't want to tell Logan or Marcus and cause unrest in the locker room.

Then, Lu Ke lowered his voice and recounted Jed's actions and words in concise words, and briefly recounted his analysis and guesses, and also needed to pay attention to their conversations not to be overheard by other teammates, which is really not an easy task, "I finally know what a hard job a spy is, Jesus Christ." After finishing speaking, Lu Ke himself didn't hold back, raised his head and began to sigh.

Lech couldn't help but laugh.

This made Lu Ke very helpless, "It's not funny!" Wait, or rather, is this funny? That means that my conjecture is wrong, and that couldn't be better. ”

Although Lu Ke can always show extraordinary wisdom and calmness when standing on the court, off the court, Lu Ke is rarely able to maintain that pure heart.

Lech likes this kind of Lu Ke - when those top superstars always want to increase their weight in the locker room, and even control the fate of the team, Lu Ke can still maintain his sanity, unswervingly believe that "there is a specialization in the art industry", and maintain an open and motivated learning attitude, which is really rare.

In Lech's view, a real superstar is not in charge of the life and death of the team's players, but can bring the whole team together to fight for victory, even if there are differences and even exclude each other, they can work towards the same goal, just like Randy Moss last season and Ankuang Boulding this season.

"Do you know why Jade is like this?" Lech did not answer Lu Ke's question, but asked another question.

Lu Ke blinked, "Wait, you mean, my guess is correct?" "Lu Ke is always so smart, and he is not so easily led astray.

Lech could only reply seriously, "Jed's attitude is his freedom, and how you choose is your freedom." The initiative is in your hands. ”

Lu Ke suddenly realized that the authorities were obsessed with bystanders, and he also had some gains and losses.

"So, do you know why Jade is like this?" Lech is back to the question again.

Lu Ke calmed down for a moment, and his gaze fell on the suspected Indian lady, "Ms. Indra? 'It's the most obvious uncertainty in the whole dressing room.

Lehe pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and gave Lu Ke an appreciative look, "That's the CEO of Pepsi, she is not only the first female CEO in the history of Pepsi, but also the first foreign-born CEO in history, she has been in Pepsi for nearly 20 years, and has been in the CEO position for eight years, and she is the one who single-handedly promoted the all-round cooperation agreement between Pepsi and NFL, Indra-Nooyi." ”

Specifically, the NFL has partnered with Gatorade — the "Gatorade Bath" after every key game win has become a tradition, and it was Indra who was the one who made it happen.

Because of the pronunciation of her name, the Chinese affectionately call her Lu Yingde.

Accidentally! Absolutely unexpected! Although Lu Ke expected that Ms. Indra was an important person, he did not expect that she would be in such a high position.

"But why?" Lu Ke is full of confusion: even if Pepsi and Coca-Cola are fighting for Lu Ke's cooperation, it is not the turn of the CEO to fight, is it? Regardless of whether it is overkill, from the perspective of business allocation, Indra is not necessarily better than professionals.

Lech chuckled directly, "According to the plan, it should be their sports director who comes to negotiate, and he is the professional in charge of this part." But in order to show her sincerity, Indra made a special trip to attend, hoping to make a decision before Coca-Cola; Today is just a visit, and the specific cooperation after that still needs professionals to come. ”

Lech's gaze turned to Jade again, "That's why I said that. ”

Even the CEO of Pepsi visited Lu Ke in person, and it is clear that Lu Ke's influence has gone beyond simple economic value, and has even begun to involve more levels: culture, ethnicity, society, etc., which also makes Lu Ke's status rise. As the owner of the team, Jade undoubtedly has a keen sense of economic development and change, so he also changed his strategy -

Anyway, now it's just talking, and it's not really an operation, it's just a blank check that can reassure the main quarterback, so why not?

So, that's how the scene just happened.
