J.J. Watt, the Houston Texan's first-round rookie today, is a high-profile defensive tackle.

In his rookie training camp, Watt was in the limelight, with crazy beastly training and desperate Saburo-style focus, which made him famous among rookies, but his forgetful, distracted training style also formed a powerful aura that no one else should enter.

By the end of the camp, Watt had barely made many friends. In his opinion, rookie camp is not a place to make friends, and those social occasions are a waste of time. However, Lu Ke was the only exception, and the two unexpectedly became friends through training, and the friendship continued, even during the busy period of the regular season, the two of them often talked on the phone.

"Watt, how many times do you think you need to watch the game footage?" Without too many greetings, Lu Ke asked straight ahead.

Watt on the other end of the phone didn't object, and reflexively said, "At least five times." The first time I watched the whole, the second time I watched the offensive line, the third time I watched the quarterback, the fourth time I watched the whole again, and the fifth time I watched it again against my own notes. If you want, you can continue to watch it repeatedly. ”

Lu Ke turned his head, looked at Curry, and spread his hands, "I told you, I'm not alone." Watching the footage of the game is skillful, and it is also very important that professional players train not only in the gym and on the pitch, but also in the tactical boardroom. ”

After speaking, Lu Ke raised his eyebrows at Curry, "You won't tell me that in the NBA, you don't have such a habit?" ”

"God, basketball tactics aren't as complicated as football, okay? There are a lot of lunatics in our ranks, but they are not as good as you. Curry immediately began to seek justice.

After two years in the professional league, how could Curry not know how to watch the game footage. But it is undeniable that the big picture in football is more comprehensive and complex, and the sub-sections in basketball are not so detailed in comparison, so there is a huge difference in approach and content when watching game footage.

In the past two years, Curry has always felt that his tactical reserves seem to be missing something, limiting his play on the court, but he can't say why; When I asked my teammates and coaches on the team, everyone was on the same page, not thinking anything was wrong with Curry thinking too much.

Now, facing Lu Ke, Curry vaguely felt that he seemed to have found the key.

"Basketball? Bambi, what's going on? Do you have guests now? Watt, on the other end of the phone, now finally realized the anomaly.

Lu Ke turned on the speaker, "JJ Watt, Stephen Curry; Stephen Curry, J.J. Watt. Now that the introduction is over, Watt, we're just talking about how to get the big picture on the pitch......"

"Wait, wait." Curry raised his hands to stop the gushing Lu Ke, "If I'm not mistaken, JJ Watt is a player for the Houston Texans, right?" Are you sure that we are here to discuss tactics, it doesn't matter? ”

"You just said you haven't watched a rugby game in two years?" Lu Ke was brainless, Curry was stunned, and then he reacted and laughed twice in embarrassment. Lu Ke continued, "Don't worry, I won't divulge any team secrets, JJ and I are just exchanging some training experiences." Besides, to defeat the Texans, I don't need to leak any secrets at all, okay? ”

Tactical manuals, those core secrets, Lu Ke naturally will not communicate with Watt.

In fact, when two people communicate, they rarely talk about the game, and rarely mention each other's performance in the regular season, let alone any tactics, more just talk about training, basic training. Because of this, two players in different positions on different teams have become friends.

"Are you sure, do you want to go to the court and try to see me, me and you, one-on-one, heads-up?" Watt said angrily.

"......" Lu Ke expressed silence, and then exaggeratedly changed the subject, "Very good, now come back to basic training, JJ, I remember when you were in high school, you played ice hockey, basketball, and baseball, right?" Is it really like Stephen said, the whole way of training is different? ”

Lech, who was standing at the door of the hall, looked at Lu Ke, Curry, who had entered the hot mode, and Watt on the other end of the phone. The three of them chattered around a mobile phone, chattering and expressing their opinions, and in less than three minutes, they completely switched to the selfless mode, and the speed and concentration were really jaw-dropping.

Helpless and relieved, Lech shook his head lightly, and easily ordered a takeout for the two of them - pizza, which is simple and direct, convenient and fast, and you can watch the video while eating, which is simply a must-have choice for home travel; Then, without saying hello, Lech left silently, leaving the entire space to the group of young people.

After signing Lu Ke, Lech always felt full of surprises.

In the NFL arena, which is gradually becoming professional and patterned, I once again see a burst of vitality. People saw the aura of five wins and one loss, and also saw the glory of being a blockbuster as a rookie, but they didn't see the hard work Lu Ke put in behind it. If Lu Ke's birth can bring more ethnic minorities to join rugby, this is undoubtedly a blessing.

……

For professional players, the precious rest time of the off-season is undoubtedly relaxing and enjoyable, allowing a little tension to relax and unwind; But for fans, the off-season is nothing to do, and there seems to be no end in sight to the long time.

Jonathan Baldwin is one of them. Fingers on your fingers, counting the time, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, it stands to reason that Thursday night game is already close at hand, and Sunday's regular season game day seems to be not far away; But suddenly realized that this Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers did not play, and they were instantly deflated.

The only good thing is that this Wednesday, Under Armour held an official press conference in San Francisco to announce the signing of a partnership with Lu Ke. It was an opportunity to get up close and personal with Lu Ke off the pitch.

Standing in the lobby on the first floor of Under Armour's flagship store, Jonathan watched the crowd in amazement.

Originally, Jonathan thought that as a rookie quarterback, after only six games of accumulation, Lu Ke was still in the stage of just emerging. Although it is said that their group of old fans expressed their loyal support, they still support the team more than Lu Ke as a person.

Today's press conference and fan meeting assumed that there wouldn't be too many people.

But now, the scene is bustling with surging crowds, at least 600 or even 800 people as far as the eye can see, and the entire first-floor lobby of the flagship store has been completely crowded, and even began to spread to the streets. This left Jonathan completely confused and completely incomprehensible, and the first thought that came to his mind was:

Could it be that Under Armour paid out of his own pocket to invite the sailors to come and cheer?

However, this thought lasted less than ten seconds before it vanished.

There was a lively discussion in the ears, discussing the last wave of winning attacks in the last week's game, and there were too many wonderful moments, and the offensive team led by Lu Ke showed strong confidence and tenacity, which was really amazing.

"Lu Ke, definitely Lu Ke, last week's best of the week was of course Lu Ke, how could it be Bradshaw?"

"Agreed, seriously agreed. I mean, Bradshaw played very well, but Lu Ke absolutely blew him up. What the hell is going on with the Alliance, is it blind? ”

In the sixth week of the regular season, the National League's best offensive player was awarded to New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradsha, who burst out 104 yards and scored three touchdowns against Buffalo Bills to lead Eli Manning to a 27-24 victory despite his slump in form.

The chatter attracted more and more attention, and gradually, a circle of fans around the world joined the discussion, not only the victory over the Detroit Lions this week, but also the regular season for the past six weeks, which seemed to have endless topics to talk about every week, even the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

In a trance, Jonathan seemed to be back in "Joe's bar", in the midst of that group of old guys, babbling his opinion, rugby is all they have in life. It's just that the group of fans in front of me is younger and more youthful-

At this point, Jonathan looked around and realized that most of the fans around him were young people who looked to be in their early twenties. After many years, the city has been revitalized by rugby and reunited the heart of the Cindelabra Stadium, which is really a long-lost image.

Unable to resist the excitement, Jonathan joined the discussion, "I think so too......"

Lively discussions, excited emotions, and waiting time began to get interesting. After experiencing the excitement of the press conference, a short fan meeting was held on the spot, where every fan could line up, buy jerseys, communicate face-to-face with Lu Ke, shake hands, sign autographs, and take photos.

It can be seen that Under Armour was a little ill-prepared, and obviously did not expect such a large number of fans in attendance.

An undrafted rookie, a Chinese player, and a rookie who has only played six games, but he is down-to-earth, step by step, and has occupied a place in the city with his performance. A press conference that gathered more than 800 fans, true fanatics, ignited the noise of the whole city.

For Under Armour, it was an unexpected surprise.

The boiling of the scene was brewing little by little, so that when Lu Ke, who had changed into a set of casual clothes, appeared on the stage again, the cheers and shouts of the audience began to surge overwhelmingly, not a simple shout, but a uniform cheer, once again outlining the grand occasion of the Candlestick Stadium:

"We are! Warrior! ”
