The early morning sun is sparsely sprinkled, warm, lazy, and the breeze with the smell of the sea is blowing, and people can't help but want to raise their heads, soak in the warmth, and just lie on the bench with nothing to do, enjoy the leisurely and comfortable of a cup of coffee, and let time slip between their fingers like sand.

But for the San Francisco 49ers' players and coaching staff, it was an unrealistic dream. Because the offseason week is over, the seventh week of the regular season is over, and Wednesday is here again, and they must tighten the loose bands again and start preparing for this week.

The good vacation time always flies by so much, and before you have time to enjoy it, it is over. The next vacation will have to wait until the end of the season and slowly adjust in the offseason.

Early in the morning, Jonathan Goodwin arrived at the training base at Candlestick Park.

Today is a relatively special day because after an off-season week, they need more time to recover, warm up and get into training; At the same time, they also need more time to watch the game footage, wake up their lazy brains, and slowly tense up. So, it was the same recovery training, but this Wednesday was different.

However, before entering the locker room to change training clothes, before entering the official warm-up, Goodwin still has one personal matter to complete; So, Goodwin arrived at the training base 20 minutes earlier than scheduled, and after leaving the parking lot, he walked straight in the direction of the team's office building.

The mist is slowly dissipating in the training ground, you can vaguely glimpse the thin golden sunlight, like light ink dripping into the clear spring, little by little, faint dizzy, the green shade and blue sky in the line of sight are coated with a layer of faint color, the beautiful scene makes the breathing almost stop, involuntarily exclaimed.

In the tranquility, you can faintly hear the sound of breathing, which seems to be the subtle noise of footsteps rubbing against the lawn, neatly and powerfully, light and flexible tugging at the heartstrings in the silence, not only does not destroy the overall peace, but also reveals a vigorous vitality, as if you can see the picture of the seed germinating. In the gloom of late autumn and early winter, heart-warming energy bursts out.

Following the sound, Goodwin saw a figure in the fog, jersey number, number fourteen.

The slightly thin body, compared to when he first joined the team, has been much stronger, strong and well-proportioned muscle lines, balanced and dexterous weight ratio and calm and light footsteps, in the long and hard run, like an elegant deer, every move is full of beauty, successfully confusing the hunter, and then a turn, it becomes a sensitive cheetah, eyeing the tiger.

After five wins and one loss, he still did not get carried away, but continued to train on a down-to-earth basis.

There are no surprises, no surprises, on the contrary, more of a matter of course.

Goodwin couldn't help but laugh when he realized this.

For Lu Ke's diligence and hard work, they seem to have gradually developed a habit, accustomed to the existence of a crazy freak in the team, accustomed to the existence of a forgetful sleep and food in the team, and accustomed to the existence of a stride leading everyone forward in the team.

No one noticed that Lu Ke was a rookie, and he was also a rookie; No one cares, Lu Ke is an Asian player, and there is no other semicolon in the entire league. The current Lu Ke is the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, and he is gradually taking on the responsibility of leadership.

It sounds like a fantasy, as Lu Ke has only been in the alliance for six weeks—no, seven weeks. But that's the way it is, it's happening. It's not a movie, it's not, it's not a myth, every player who is involved in it can really empathize.

During the off-season, when Goodwin and Joe Stanley were out drinking and relaxing, the two inadvertently brought up a tactic in their casual conversation - there was still no way to correct the occupational disease, and the two argued, and finally Stanley directly said, "Otherwise, call Bambi to confirm, he will definitely support me." ”

The point is that when they encounter the problem of tactical manuals, the first thing that comes to mind is not the offensive forward coach, but Lu Ke.

Because in the usual training, Lu Ke's understanding of the tactical manual is so amazing, it seems that all the questions are difficult for him, even if he is stuck for a while, Lu Ke will study it in detail after he goes back, verify it, and then give an answer.

With such a miraculous performance, everyone couldn't help but be curious, and later delved deeper to learn that all the spare time of every day, Lu Ke spent all his spare time studying game videos and tactical manuals, and he never slackened since the beginning of the preseason; Tactical meetings between rookie players have made a name for themselves within the team.

People are always curious, where did the leadership temperament come from, and why was Lu Ke, a first-grader, able to win the respect of those old fritters?

It is strength and hard work, and the small details in life accumulate little by little, gathering sand into a tower.

Standing in place, Goodwin quietly watched Lu Ke, running and running, and then Lu Ke began to accelerate suddenly, which is the famous "suicide speed run" in the San Francisco 49ers. The most physical, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, both tried it before, and both said after the end, "That guy is a pervert." ”

After the 100-meter sprint, Lu Ke did not immediately reduce his speed, but began to run sideways and train his steps-

It can be clearly seen that Lu Ke's calves and knees are trembling slightly, and even Vernon and Crabtree exclaimed that the suicidal speed change run that they couldn't bear was naturally not so simple, and their physical strength and muscles had reached the extreme; But Lu Ke still didn't give up, and concentrated on training his steps at the limit.

One accidentally, the knees collided with each other, staggered, stumbled and lost the center of gravity, even Goodwin almost exclaimed, but Lu Ke used his hands to maintain his balance, avoided falling, and continued the run, without the slightest intention of stopping to rest.

With a light breath, Goodwin turned and walked towards the office building. As a veteran, Goodwin sincerely expressed his admiration, he is willing to believe in Lu Ke, believe that the hope of the San Francisco 49ers will remain with this rookie quarterback, and believe that Lu Ke can lead the team to sail in adversity.

Standing at the door of the head coach's office, Goodwin knocked on the room door, waited for a moment, and then heard Jim Hubble's panicked voice, "Yes, I'm here." Who? What's the matter? The hoarse voice, the traces of just waking up can be faintly heard, which really makes people laugh.

If Goodwin was not mistaken, the head coach should have spent the night in the office again last night.

Although Hubble never knew how to deal with the bad problems in the locker room, and his egotistical, self-centered, and hot-tempered bad personality was not likable; But no one can deny that Hubble is an excellent coach with excellent tactical planning, control of the overall situation, and on-the-spot adaptability.

Even in the face of the crisis of temporary quarterback changes, Hubble made corresponding changes in his tactics and successfully brought the entire offensive group together.

This year is a new and important start for the San Francisco 49ers, with countless heavy run-in tasks and Hubble forgetting to sleep and eat. In order to study the video of the game, staying in the office day and night is a high probability event, and the entire training base has become accustomed to it.

On the court, the offensive team led by Lu Ke slaughtered all sides; Off the court, the coaching staff led by Hubble laid the groundwork ahead of schedule. This dedication, dedication and dedication has succeeded in making the San Francisco 49ers achieve excellent results.

From this point of view, it is not without reason that the cooperation between Hubble and Lu Ke can produce sparks.

Goodwin didn't go in immediately, but waited a little longer, leaving a little time for Hubble to take care of himself, and then pushed open the office door, "Coach, it's me, I have something I want to talk to you about before today's official training, I mean, privately. ”

"What's the matter?" Hubble rubbed his eyes, yawned widely, and casually tidied up his messy dress, but he didn't care about the possibility of any attack on the authority of the coach, and scratched his hair that was comparable to a bird's nest, and his face was oily, "What time is it?" It's not time for the official press conference yet, is it? ”

Obviously, Goodwin's reserved time did not come in handy, and Hubble appeared in front of reporters in such a posture to be interviewed, which is expected to cause a heated discussion, and there will definitely be a lot of excitement on social networks.

"No, the morning recovery training hasn't started yet." Goodwin sat down in the chair across from Hubble, only to find a pair of socks hanging from the armrests - a little wet to the touch, which caused Goodwin to get a 100,000-point critical hit.

Without waiting for him to react, Hubble stood up and took the socks away, without explaining too much, but directly asked, "So, what the hell is going on?" ”

Goodwin didn't want to ask why the socks were on the armrests of the seat, he wasn't curious at all. So, following Hubble's words, he went straight to the point, "I'm thinking about it, it's time to give the title of captain of the offensive team to Lu Ke." Undoubtedly, he is a more suitable person and a more correct person. ”

The San Francisco 49ers have just gone through a special offseason, and the integration of the entire team is in a tumultuous phase, and now they have a special captaincy position, with Patrick Willis on the defensive team, Jonathan Goodwin on the offensive team, and David Akens on the special service team.

Now, Goodwin took the initiative to hand over the position of the captain of the offensive team to Lu Ke. This is an important change and the reason why Goodwin came to the training base early today.
