Charles Davis is still the same Charles Davis.

To be honest, without Charles's provocation of Lu Ke every week, the "within the alliance" program would have lost a lot of color, and from the perspective of producing the program, this is not what they want to see.

However, after a year of fresh blood replenishment and adjustment, the league's thirty-two teams have undergone earth-shaking changes; Similarly, after a year of precipitation and polishing, Charles has also changed.

Perhaps, the only thing that remains unchanged is Charles's attitude towards Lu Ke. Or rather, prejudice.

In the conversation just now, Charles specifically mentioned two quarterbacks. Sam Bradford, 2010 overall pick, quarterback for the St. Louis Rams; Josh Freeman, 17th pick in the first round in 2009, quarterback for the Tampa Bay Pirates.

The two quarterbacks have one thing in common: they had a top-tier season in 2010 and set their own records, with Bradford winning the Rookie of the Year award on par with Payton Manning's rookie season. Then, in the 2011 season, both of them were plagued by minor injuries, and their performance plummeted, and they were almost out of the picture.

The example of these two quarterbacks reflects an objective fact of the entire league: if the first-year students are facing a shock education, then the second-year and third-graders are going straight into the meat grinder of hell mode.

"Let's be objective."

This was Charles' opening remarks, and he immediately showed a different style than last year, "In his rookie season, Lu Ke's performance really shocked the entire league, and he won the trust of Jim Hubble in terms of tactics and on-court play, which also proved that he is a qualified starting quarterback. "Qualified, not excellent, the difference in adjectives, you can still feel Charles's true attitude.

"But Lu Ke's shortcomings are also very obvious, his body is too thin, his steps are too slow, and his tactics are too risky." Charles didn't hurry, but slowed down his speech, as if waiting for a rebuttal, but no one spoke, because these are Lu Ke's shortcomings, indisputable facts.

Charles then continued, revealing a hint of pride in his words, "In this way, all the shortcomings will be further magnified in the sophomore season, and the other thirty-one teams will definitely not miss it easily; Further, after the strangeness and novelty of his rookie season are gone, he will become a target, a target for everyone to attack collectively. ”

Point to point.

Charles didn't continue to be aggressive, but the words just now were enough, "I performed well in my rookie season, but my sophomore performance dropped dramatically under the expectations of the people." Lu Ke is not the first, and he will not be the last. Let's be objective and discuss Lu Ke's advantages and disadvantages on the table, then it is not difficult to draw conclusions. ”

Charles looked at Spencer.

But even Spencer can't argue that under the same conditions, some people see the shortcomings, some people see the advantages, and that's the difference. Therefore, Charles chose to be bullish on Lu Ke, while Spencer chose to be bullish on Lu Ke, and this is the result. There is no way to refute it, and there is no need to refute it.

Spencer gave a big smile, "Let's be objective." He repeated Charles's words and gently bowed his head in agreement, but this simple gesture revealed mockery and ridicule, and launched an attack on Charles without reservation.

"In the season that has just ended, we have analyzed Lu Ke's strength on paper countless times, and your opinion is always that Lu Ke can't win, and my opinion is always that Lu Ke can win." Charles was organized and clear-cut, and spread his hands to reveal a touch of helplessness, "Now, after an offseason, nothing has changed, right?" ”

The subtext is:.

All of Charles's comments just now are nonsense.

Then, Spencer shrugged his shoulders, "Well, we can jump right into the conclusion." I think the San Francisco 49ers can win the game, but what about you? ”

Charles was suddenly cornered and could only subconsciously say, "Green Bay Packer." ”

Spencer glanced at Edward, who snapped his fingers, "Good, the 49ers and the packers each won one vote, but what about the others?" Everyone is actively expressing their opinions, and we need to speak, quickly, and quickly. ”

One after another, ten analytical commentators expressed their views -

Five votes chose the San Francisco 49ers, and five voted Green Bay Packers.

This was an unexpected but logical outcome.

The reason why I say is unexpected. That's because in the offseason, the San Francisco 49ers' series of transfer and draft strategies are really weak, the defensive team has not been able to improve its strength, and the offensive front line has not been able to fill in the gaps. So, in comparison, the Green Bay Packers, who have maintained their peak form for the past two seasons, are naturally slightly better.

The reason for this is reasonable. That's because the Green Bay Packers' offense is obviously stronger than the defense, while the San Francisco 49ers' defense and offense are relatively balanced, overall, this is still a five-five game, even if the Green Bay Packers win a little bigger, but the gap is still extremely weak, it can be said that it is a millimeter, and it is not an unexpected result for either side to win.

This episode of "Within the Alliance" can be said to be a microcosm of the entire alliance.

After a successful season, everyone's expectations for the San Francisco 49ers have rightfully begun to rise, which is one thing; On the other hand, the poor offseason has put a question mark on the San Francisco 49ers' new season, especially the performance of a number of sophomores.

This is the view of the league professionals, full of expectations and full of doubts, this is a complex of contradictions.

After the preseason and before the regular season began, Chuck-Lyle, the league's official analyst, wrote a special article predicting this year's favourites.

This year, Chuck will take over the league's official weekly power rankings, continuing the tradition of changing columnists every year, in other words, this list can also be considered an official endorsement.

Among the favorites, Chacroe named six teams, the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers of the American League, and the Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants of the National League.

In addition, there are two dark horse alternate teams, the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers.

Regarding the former, Chuck said, "Defensive prowess will ensure their floor, while offensive prowess will determine their ceiling, and they will always be the most important team to be reckoned with in the American League." ”

Regarding the latter, Chuck said, "This is a team full of possibilities, and they could put together a poor record of 3 wins and 13 losses to compete for the top pick spot; He could also play an excellent record of 13 wins and 3 losses, and become an alternate for the top seed of the National League. ”

Outside of the eight teams, there is one team with a question mark, the New Orleans Saints.

After the Bounty Gate turmoil, the team is in turmoil, the head coach has also been suspended for a year, and it is completely unpredictable what kind of state the Saints are in now, on the one hand, Drew Bliss is still one of the top quarterbacks in the league; But on the other hand, will the already underperforming defensive team fall apart completely because of the bounty gate?

From Chuck Lehrer to "within the league", it can be seen that the San Francisco 49ers have completely shaken off last year's mystical posture and are completely exposed to the spotlight and become the object of everyone's research, and under such pressure, the performance of young players will undoubtedly be in the spotlight.

The most direct manifestation of this is the pre-match press conference.

When Lu Ke and the other players entered the press conference hall of the Green Bay Packers, the bustling scene in front of them was really shocking, the scale of more than 400 reporters crowded the not spacious hall, it seemed that every corner was full of people, and the black pressure was stretched out in a mighty way, creating a powerful visual impact, and even the air began to bubble.

Such a magnificent and spectacular scene makes people can't help but start to wonder -

Did they remember the wrong time? Now it's not the away team's press conference, it's the home team's?

Logan, Marcus, Aldon and others all looked at Lu Ke in unison, making Lu Ke cry and laugh, and retorted speechlessly, "Hey, I haven't been to the Super Bowl press conference either, how do I know what's going on here?" Why don't you ask Randy? ”

Randy Moss. Also one of the focal points of today's press conference.

Such a ridicule caused a circle of reporters in the vicinity to chuckle. This is Lu Ke's second season, and they have gradually become familiar with each other, and they have long been accustomed to Lu Ke's way of speaking.

More attention means more pressure; Again, more focus means more motivation. It's a double-edged sword, and it's up to the young players of the San Francisco 49ers to respond.

At least judging from Lu Ke's performance during the interview, they still maintained a positive attitude, and did not get carried away because of the success of last season, nor were they discouraged because of the failure of last season.

"It wasn't an easy game. Obviously, we should be the underdogs, and rightfully so, and I think the team on the other side of the pitch has the upper hand. But we kept a positive mindset and did everything we could to meet the challenge and in the end it was the team that played better to win the game. I hope we're that team. ”

This is Lu Ke's answer to reporters' questions in the face of the outcome of this game, familiar with ease, familiar with calmness, familiar with neither humility nor arrogance, and sure enough, everything is familiar.

And familiar journalists -

"Rumor has it that your favourite team is the Green Bay Packers and used to wish they could come and play in Green Bay, is that true? So how do you feel about today's game? ”
