855 is unprecedented
"So...... I can leave now, right? ”
Lu Ke is still like a good student, straightening his waist, opening his chest, looking straight, sitting upright at the back of the long table at the press conference, looking at the dense reporters in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, that unhurried, calm and calm posture, even in the face of what is likely to be one of the grandest press conferences in the history of the NFL, there is no nervousness or timidity.
On the other hand, the reporters in front of them are restless and impatient, as if everyone's cushion has been transformed into a hedgehog under the magic of Harry Potter, almost no one can sit steadily, in the confrontation between you and me, but faintly fall down, as if they are the one who falls down, without the composure and calmness of the uncrowned king.
The Q&A session has reached a dead end.
It's all a matter of déjà vu, all the attacks and spying are completely ineffective, Lu Ke's defense can be described as leaky, and the inadvertent counterattack makes the reporters speechless and helpless.
Of course, journalists can complain that the brand-sponsored press conference lacks gimmicks and highlights, all the entry points are decent and lackluster, and their room for attack is very limited: the topic of race cannot be raised, the topic of defeat is too much, the topic of champions is too straightforward, and the issue of qualification is sensitive, which means that they are tied up and cannot be developed at all.
But journalists know that these are excuses.
"If I'm not mistaken, I've already answered that question. Twice. If the reporter misses those points because the press conference was too boring, I don't think I need to answer again, because the answer is just as boring. ”
This is the answer to the question that Lu Ke just faced, not the way of being angry or rampage, but a relaxed, easy-going, and smiling way, even laughing and smiling, ridiculing and joking, self-deprecating and ridiculing, so that the reporters were stuck in an awkward position.
After a moment of silence at the scene, Lu Ke showed a polite and appropriate smile, and said the sentence just now, "So ......" deliberately paused for a long time, as if a high school student was about to leave the dinner table, and cast his eyes sly and cleverly at his parents, "I can leave now, right?" ”
It's really cheap and good.
Obviously, Lu Ke had the overall upper hand, but at this time he deliberately put on a cautious appearance, and the reporters on the scene were really smoking, crying and laughing, but they couldn't speak.
Then, Lu Ke politely bowed slightly, politely thanked him, waved his hand, and then turned to leave, handed over the stage to Siclester and Wolfgang again, and ended all his tasks today.
Siccleste, who once again became the attention of reporters, watched the back of Lu Ke leaving, "Well, I'm not sure if this is my personal delusion, but personally, Lu Ke reminds me of Roger Federer." ”
"Huh." Wolfgang chuckled.
Sichklester cast an inquiring gaze for some reason, but Wolfgang waved his hand again and again to deny it, without an explanation, and Sicklest did not force it further, and returned to his work, "Of course, Federer has become one of the greatest tennis players in history, and now, the road left for Lu Ke is very, very long, but it is certain that from today onwards, Rolex will accompany Lu Ke to continue to walk and write their own stories." ”
For Rolex, it's a story.
For rugby, it's a piece of history.
For the first official cooperation between the world's top watch brand and the four major sports leagues, Rolex chose Lu Ke.
It's not Tom Brady, it's not Aaron Rogers, it's not Peyton Manning, it's not Drew Brice, it's not even Andrew Larch or Robert Griffin III, it's not any of the star-studded, star-studded NFL superstars, it's sophomore Ke Lu.
What's more, it's not official in the league either. Rolex chose to work with Lu Ke instead of the Alliance. This one step is firm and sensational, bold and crazy.
This is not only unprecedented, but also absolutely blockbuster!
Until today, Rolex has proved their confidence to the world with practical actions, and has no hesitation in pulling Lu Ke into the superstar with a four-year contract.
After that, Lu Ke's market value will be immeasurable!
For the average professional athlete, the performance on the court will determine their career, and the added value will determine their market value. However, for special athletes, such a basic system does not necessarily apply.
Take the NBA, for example. Yao/Ming and Ba/Te/Er, the former does not have a championship ring, the latter has a championship ring, but in terms of market value, the former is far ahead.
Of course, the NBA and the NFL are all different, and the analogy isn't necessarily entirely correct. However, it can be proved at least that special circumstances require special treatment. Lu Ke is such a special case.
After a rookie season that is hard to beat, and a sophomore halfway championship season worthy of MVP level, Lu Ke has proven that he is not a fleeting meteor, which is a cross-generational icon, and in the future, regardless of performance and results, he will be the absolute benchmark for Asian American players in the NFL.
This alone is enough to ensure Lu Ke's market value.
What's more, if Lu Ke's performance and on-field gains will be further improved, then the market value is bound to rise, which is exactly what Rolex is looking for.
In other words, this is where a piece of history begins.
After the press conference - to be precise, the press conference was still going on, and the news could not wait to be exposed on Twitter, and the entire alliance was in a huge sensation, whether it was Lu Ke's friend or not, and whether it was an enemy of the San Francisco 49ers, all eyes gathered.
The news was as sensational as the quarterback contracts that kept breaking all-time records in the offseason, and vaguely even better. In less than an hour, the keyword "Rolex/Lu Ke" has swept through the entire social networking platform and search engine website, and it is definitely the most exciting endorsement contract ever.
Following the successive excellent performances of Thursday night and Monday night, Lu Ke once again grabbed the focus of attention with off-court topics, everyone was talking about the unbelievable Rolex endorsement contract this time, and everyone was amazed by Lu Ke's incredible upward curve, which can be called the best in the history of the league, even Kurt Warner back then.
At the beginning, after Kurt Warner was born, he was constrained by injuries and regrettably could not go further and create his own dynasty; So, what about Lu Ke now? What does the future hold for him?
At least what is certain is that step by step, Lu Ke is steadily revealing his superstar temperament.
When Siccleist and Wolfgang left the stage to officially announce the end of today's press conference, Jay couldn't help but shake his head again and again, turned around, and was about to complain to his colleagues, and then saw an extremely strange scene:
A pair of eyes were all projected towards Jay, and the red eyes were like wild wolves all over the mountains, aiming at the only prey, the innocent little white lamb, whose slightly open bloody mouth was drooling, and seemed to be ready to eat dinner.
Jay's hairs stood on end, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Uh...... Uh......" Jay tried to explain, but the words began to stutter, and for a moment he couldn't explain it at all.
"Say, did you already know?"
Jay shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, no, really, I really don't know." He had already expressed his negation with his whole body, but it still didn't seem to be enough, and that aggressive momentum was not retreating but advancing, and was swarming over little by little, almost suffocating.
"Liar! When you were interviewed at the Candlestick Stadium before, you got an exclusive interview with Bambi without any hesitation. ”
"That's it. If I'm not mistaken, you're an alumnus of Bambi, right? ”
"How did I hear about it, or roommates? He is roommates with Bambi and Logan. ”
"That's right, Bambi must have revealed something."
"It's so secretive, I don't want to say a word."
"Report to the Uncrowned King, a traitor has appeared among us."
More and more people, not just colleagues at the Los Angeles Times, but other sports reporters around them rushed over for the first time, and it was clear that everyone thought about it: Jay Fox must know something inside, and he can't miss it, and he can't just miss it.
So, bustlingly, everyone began to gather, plus the onlookers who came to join in the fun, the scene was even more exaggerated, three layers inside and three layers outside Jay completely surrounded it, this is no longer a "three-hall trial", but a "hundred-hall trial", just a sharp and burning gaze is enough to kill Jay.
Waving his hand and shaking his head. Jay is trying to prove his innocence, but the aggressiveness doesn't give him much leeway, which makes Jay wail: Damn Bambi! What a mistake in making friends! He decides that from today onwards, he and Bambi will officially break up their relationship, yes, break up!
"Break up!"
……
Three hours later, like a wandering beggar, Jay quietly reached for his mobile phone and secretly sent a text message to the familiar number:
You owe me an exclusive interview. You know! Otherwise, I'll sell TMZ a photo of your split when you practiced yoga back then! Did you hear that? Yes! Did you hear that! Woo woo, what a careless friend, someone just ripped my clothes! My butt hurts, my arm hurts, my hair is going to be pulled out, grass, I don't want to be bald!
