Someone once joked that compared with the merry/suave/handsome and dashing Tom Brady, the appearance of the three Manning brothers is ordinary, especially the second brother's brain; However, if you choose between the three brothers, Eli is undoubtedly the most handsome.

The baby-faced Eli is still childish, with a youthful look between his eyebrows, and a often bewildered expression that makes people laugh, and he doesn't look like a thirty-year-old veteran at all - after eight years in the league, he is now a veteran.

Although they had already met when they guessed the coin at the beginning, although the two teams had been on the court for more than four hours, and although the whole game was over, Lu Ke still had an inexplicable wonder when he saw Eli Manning again, because he was a Super Bowl-level quarterback, and because he was a member of the Manning family.

However, this kind of magic only lasted for a moment, and then Lu Ke saw the stunned expression on Eli's face, not like he was unable to get rid of the impact of defeat, but more like he was not able to recover from the zero-second attack in the final stage, which really made people laugh. So, Lu Ke laughed generously.

"Congratulations, you won that big gamble." Eli took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and after holding Lu Ke's right hand, he also collected it, and the two of them bumped their shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile.

Lu Ke was stunned instead, and didn't react for a while, and then looked at Eli's stunned expression, like a child who was worried that he had said the wrong thing, the scene was really full of joy, and Lu Ke finally came back to his senses: Eli was talking about Charles Davis's bet.

"I'm sorry, but I'm stepping on your shoulders and moving on." Lu Ke also joked easily.

Eli laughed and shook his head helplessly, "Peyton warned me before that I should never underestimate this year's 49ers, and now it seems that Payton has proved himself right again." ”

In an instant, Lu Ke's eyes lit up slightly, at this moment, he was not a quarterback standing on the court, just a young man chasing stars with excitement.

Hearing the name of his idol at first glance, even in the face of the zero-second offense, he couldn't help but start to get nervous and excited, and even his palms began to sweat, "Payton, do you mean, Payton Manning?" ”

I really felt the excitement emanating from Lu Ke's body, which made Eli laugh out loud, "Yes, in our family, in addition to Eli, there is also a guy named Peyton. Last Monday, while we were chatting, we mentioned you. ”

In fact, the Manning brothers rarely talk about the game, work is work, life is life, although it is inevitable to talk about it, after all, rugby is the most important part of the family, but during the season, they will try to avoid it.

However, Lu Ke is a special case, a rare exception in the history of the NFL. Even though he was away from the game this year due to injury, Payton still paid attention to his heart and mind football, and the first Chinese quarterback who was born was naturally a topic not to be missed.

"He thinks you're a very smart quarterback." Eli said with a smile, looking at Lu Ke who wanted to speak and stopped, eager to try, which made people forget the calm and wise iron-masked killer in the game, and truly realized that Lu Ke was just a rookie this year, a young and vigorous fresh graduate.

Without waiting for Lu Ke to continue speaking, Eli deliberately took a half step back, with a disgusted expression, "Hey, man, I'm not Peyton." ”

Lu Ke was stunned slightly, originally thought that Eli was really angry, after all, his behavior was indeed too rude, and he didn't have the idea of taking care of Eli at all.

But then I recalled that the two Manning brothers were well-known cold-faced jokers in the league, and they often shoot some spoof videos and spoof advertisements by themselves, and the laughter is really hilarious.

Surprisingly, most of the ideas came from Big Manning, but Little Manning was very cooperative and completely happy with it.

Lu Ke looked at Eli carefully, and only then did he catch the smile hidden in his eyes, because he was so excited and excited that he ignored these details, and now he reacted.

So, Lu Ke nodded calmly, admitted his rude just now, and then said lightly, "I don't know what it's like to fight Payton, but what is certain is that this game is definitely not easy, and we all fought until the last moment." So, trust me, I will never recognize the wrong person. ”

Generous and calm, but confident and humorous, a simple conversation is enough to make people feel happy.

Eli also showed a big smile, "It's not an easy result to accept, so I'd better keep my mouth shut and stop saying more compliments." ”

"Rest assured, there should be quite a few people besides you who can't wait to congratulate you on this victory." Lu Ke said seriously.

Looking at Lu Ke's confident look, Eli couldn't help but smile dumbly, he originally thought that Lu Ke was talking about those news media who did not hesitate to praise; But the next moment, the fans cheering and shouting in unison stole all the attention, and the vast sea of red made every player feel small.

Eli and Lu Ke said goodbye to each other, and then they both turned around, turned their backs to each other, and took steps in the direction of their teammates and the team.

After just a few steps, Eli stopped again, glanced back at Lu Ke, who was walking in the direction of the fan stands and was sincerely expressing his gratitude, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind:

Wait, or is it that Lu Ke's words were originally aimed at those reporters who were sloppy?

From the many doubts at the beginning of the season to the unanimous praise, in a trance, as if the previous accusations and provocations had not existed at all, the ability of reporters to see the wind and steer is really jaw-dropping.

After this game, even Eli himself was already amazed, let alone the journalists. Therefore, it is now conceivable that at the post-match press conference, the reporters are bound to give all the praise to Lu Ke again. In this way, Lu Ke's ridicule and ridicule just now suddenly had a more accurate target.

A simple sentence, but endlessly evocative, full of countless possibilities, and even more unbearable, this Chinese quarterback obviously overturned most of the prejudices against Asians and truly showed his personality and style. And, of course, strength.

Again, laughing dumbfoundedly, as if recalling the stunned and surprised final moments of the game, Eli withdrew his gaze and trotted away from the Candlestick Field.

Eli genuinely felt that after Lu Ke joined the league, the rugby game seemed to become more interesting; Or maybe the diversity of the league seems to have become even more fantastic. That's a good change.

……

If the fans at the Candlestick Stadium were to learn of Eli's idea, they would have nodded their heads in agreement, and raised their hands and feet high in agreement. The 2011 season of the NFL is indeed much cuter.

The 500 fans of the Chinese community have no objection to this.

Looking at the surging sea of red in the stadium, Li Mo Nian could clearly feel the enthusiasm and excitement bubbling in his chest.

Perhaps, it was all fate, and for the first time, the Chinese community in San Francisco was officially organized to watch a game at Candlestick Stadium, and they witnessed a breathtakingly exciting game. Not only did you really feel the frenzy of the home fans, but you also really witnessed the magic of rugby.

Although the game of rugby is full of endless possibilities, and the strong clash of each game is also exciting; But there's no denying that, like all competitive sports, rugby has its peaks and valleys –

Some games are just extremely dull and unrefreshed; There are also games where bumps and bumps, yellow flags and fouls completely affect the visibility of the game, and can even make laymen drowsy.

Before the start of the competition, Li was not worried; But after coming to Candlestick Stadium, he really began to worry, on the one hand, he was worried that the San Francisco 49ers lost this strong matchup, which was definitely a heavy blow to the enthusiasm of the novice audience who were just starting out; On the other hand, they were worried that the game had fallen into a dull trap, and as a result, all Chinese fans shouted that they were fooled.

There is a fate between people, and the same is true between individuals and hobbies.

If the first game officially organized by the Chinese community is unsatisfactory, it is bound to be a devastating blow, even if the team's main quarterback is a Chinese, but the game cannot be won, or even the game is not good, then it will be difficult for novice viewers to arouse interest, let alone delve in.

This is fate.

But now, all worries have been swept away. Not only is there no need to worry at all, but there is also excitement. They actually encountered an absolute matchup that was rare throughout the season, with back-and-forth confrontations, ups and downs of the storyline, keeping the suspense until the last moment, and even leading a Hollywood-style reversal like a zero-second lore.

Even for laymen, after watching this game live, it is bound to burn all the enthusiasm; Even ordinary spectators, who felt the frenzy and joy of the Candlestick Stadium on the spot, are bound to become a part of it, cheering, shouting and jumping together. Joys and sorrows bind them together in this way.

Li Mo Nian thought, perhaps, Lu Ke is really that special existence, and the fate of rugby quietly began to take root and thrive.

Turning his head, Li Monian saw the madness of the entire Chinese fan group, all of whom let go of their shackles and reserves, and completely integrated into this red ocean and became a part of it. This is the beginning.
