"Is everything still adapting? Andrey's training plan, how effective is it? As soon as the footsteps approached, a burst of sweat-mixed sunlight smell came to the face, and the air seemed to be able to clearly capture the excitement and vigor, for Lech who had been sitting in the office for a long time, a handful of old bones, and then it may be more difficult to get off the exercise, but it was refreshing to feel the breath.
Lu Ke nodded, "Work." This shows that the cooperation between the two people is running in and adjusting, but the overall direction is still positive.
After most of the day's high-intensity training, and it continued for a month, every day, now Lu Ke was so tired that he didn't want to speak, so his words became concise and clear. While sweating profusely, the whole person was as if he had been fished out of the water; On the one hand, you have to replenish water and pour water into your stomach in large gulps.
Lech tucked his chin slightly, smiled, and said seemingly casually, "Bambi, you are a very conscious player, you don't need to be supervised, you don't need to worry, for any agent, this is a dream player." But I still need to give some advice not to embarrass myself too much. ”
Lu Ke, who was wiping his sweat, couldn't help but pause in his movements, and cast his gaze in confusion.
Lech still looked light-hearted, but his words revealed warm care, "You should know that excessive training can easily cause sports injuries, not injuries, but wear and tear on the body, latent down, accumulating, causing irreparable damage." Ten or twenty years from now, when you retire, I don't want Anne to push you home in a wheelchair. ”
Anne, here refers to Jiang Youning.
Jiang Youning mentioned before that during every game, Lech is bound to keep in touch with Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, and keep the phone open at all times to ensure that they are informed of Lu Ke's situation as soon as possible; Even when there is no competition, Lech will take the initiative to inform Lu Ke of his recent situation and training.
Just in case, just in case, Lu Ke has a situation.
Lech didn't want his family to see the news from reporters and on television. The news that has changed hands and spread is always alarmist and brings unnecessary harm to the players' families. This is what Lech has been trying to avoid.
As an agent with a human touch, Lech's approach and approach to things is truly different. "I need to be responsible for him." This is what Lehe expounded to Jiang Youning, and in real life, he did the same.
In this year's professional bowl, Lech watched it together at the Lu family.
Lu Zhengze officially sent out an invitation, hoping that Lech and his wife would come to the house for dinner. That night, Jiang Youning personally cooked, found the Steinbergs warmly and generously, and watched the professional bowl together, and spent a wonderful night.
Facing Lehe's ridicule, Lu Ke smiled dumbly, "So I didn't practice just now." ”
"I noticed." Lech chuckled, "But are you sure?" I've noticed that your training volume is heavier than that of Logan and Marcus. ”
"Huh." Lu Ke laughed, "Don't worry, Andre and I are running in." If there is a problem, I will bring it up. I'm not joking with my career. ”
In fact, Lu Ke's training volume is indeed a bit outrageous.
Not because of Andrey, and not because of the system.
The arrangement and adjustment of the daily training tasks before, Lu Ke has already figured out the laws of the system, it is always challenging Lu Ke's physical limits, but it will not really cause damage, but accumulate little by little, pushing Lu Ke to break the bottleneck, objectively speaking, the arrangement of the system is undoubtedly the most scientific and reasonable.
This time too.
According to Andre's arrangement, Lu Ke readjusted his training plan, and on the same day, the daily tasks of the system were refreshed, reducing the number of some trainings to ensure that Lu Ke would not bring unnecessary harm due to overtraining.
Three days later, the system's daily training tasks were upgraded and adjusted, including training items such as trampolines, and it was clear that Andrei's training plan had passed the test, and the system had absorbed the advantages and eliminated the shortcomings, and rearranged them.
But Lu Ke's training volume is still quite scary, and the fundamental reason is the loss in the federation finals, and the failure punishment is the burden that Lu Ke must carry.
"The off-season training effect has decreased by 10%, and the difficulty of daily training tasks has increased by +1".
These two punishments are vividly and concretely embodied in the training of each day, Lu Ke is really dancing on the tightrope, trembling and constantly hitting his limit, although the training effect has decreased by 10%, but it can still be clearly felt that he seems to have touched the physical talent barrier, and he only needs to add a little more strength to pierce this layer of window paper.
Gradually, Lu Ke began to get used to such training weights, as if he had a lead block tied to his ankles, at first he felt that it was difficult to move an inch, but over time he slowly got used to it, and finally he didn't feel their existence at all. Habit is a terrible thing, and so is human adaptability.
In the face of Lu Ke's cheerfulness, Lech nodded in agreement, and did not continue to discuss in depth on this topic, but politely asked, "How long is the break?" Have time to slow down and have a conversation? ”
"Thirty minutes." Although he didn't say much, Lu Ke still captured the solemnity in Lehe's words. What's more, Lech is not the type to hang around in the first place, and since he has come to visit the training ground, it means that he has something important to discuss.
After that, Lu Ke and Lech began to stroll along the edge of the training ground around the field. In the middle of the venue, the other friends were still training attentively and seriously, and from time to time there were slogans and beats, and the conversation between the two people became more comfortable.
"After the regular season, in fact, sponsors have come to the door one after another, hoping to hire you as a spokesperson." Without going around in circles, Lech cut straight to the point and got straight to the point, "The reason why I haven't told you all this time is because you're preparing for the playoffs and I don't want you to be distracted; On the other hand, it was because I rejected them all. ”
As the only Chinese-American quarterback in the league, Lu Ke has created countless miracles; Even putting aside the label of "Chinese", as a rookie quarterback, Lu Ke has also written countless history.
What's more, after the away win over the Arizona Cardinals, Roger Goodall's attitude undoubtedly represents the official position of the league, which further paves the way for Lu Ke's rise.
Also, in the playoffs, in the four-minute countdown, he beat the New Orleans Saints toughly; Wanfu Mary miraculously tied the score, and lost to the New York Giants in overtime, and these two games have made countless fans for Lu Ke.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Lu Ke is a fragrant bun. In him, there are too many interests maintained, everyone is trying to get a piece of the pie, even the NFL league officials are no exception, Goodale has now begun to plan related promotion activities for the new season, and Lu Ke is undoubtedly one of the core figures.
But Lehe never told Lu Ke that this was obviously abnormal.
"If it was other players who hadn't heard the news of sponsorship endorsements, they couldn't wait to ask, and they couldn't wait to become billionaires and squander them to their heart's content; But you didn't make any move, and I didn't rush to speak. Lech shook his head slightly, a helpless smile.
Lu Ke spread his hands, "Because I have the best agent, then choose to believe him, this is the best choice." ”
Lech's eyes fell on Lu Ke, revealing a smile, and suddenly a sentence came out, "I think you are very suitable for appearing on a talk show in the future." ”
These words were so sudden that Lu Ke couldn't help but be stunned.
But Lech didn't stop there, adding, "For rugby players, they tend to focus more on short-term commercial value, and the advertising endorsements they get in hand, no matter what the brand, will always be talked about next. ”
"On the one hand, there are too many players in the entire league, and only a very small number of players can get endorsements, as long as they have the opportunity, they will seize it; On the other hand, rugby players tend to have short careers, and there are too many running backs who leave the field after one to three years. And the quarterback, if they can't occupy the main position, they will disappear in a year or two. ”
When Lehe spoke, he glanced at Lu Ke, but noticed that Lu Ke was not moved at all, so he withdrew his gaze and continued.
"So, you can't blame them for choosing short-term gains." Lech remained objective, "But I want you not to be a meteor, but to be a banner in the Alliance." Your business value far exceeds that of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. ”
Otherwise, Lech would not have negotiated directly with Goodale in the first place, because this is a huge plan, and the alliance is also part of it.
Lu Ke nodded lightly, "Now I finally understand the meaning of those words when you chose to sign a contract with me." ”
Such self-ridicule made Lech chuckle, but did not deny it.
"Everyone knows that the four major advertisements that professional footballers dream of are cars, sports equipment, clothing and drinks, but including these four brands, the advertising endorsements of rugby players can be simply divided into two."
"One is fast-moving consumer goods, which are closely related to the career of athletes, such as pizza, such as soft drinks, and sports equipment, only if you perform well on the field, you can renew the contract, and once you get injured or even retired, these ads may all disappear."
"The other is luxury goods that focus on brand image, such as cars, such as watches, such as fashion. What they value is performance on the pitch, but it's more about the personal image of the players and their impact off the pitch. On-court performance is fundamental, but if you can successfully build your brand image, you can sell it for a long time. ”
Lu Ke pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, "Just like David Beckham?" ”
Lech paused, then laughed cheerfully, "Yes, just like David Beckham!" ”
"Wait, are you going to make me Beckham?" Lu Ke's eyes widened, revealing an incredible expression.
