After all the games in the fifteenth week of the regular season are over, Charles Davis is undoubtedly in the spotlight on the latest episode of ESPN's "Within the League."

Charles, whose face was pale, looked like he had put on a white wall with makeup and then rushed to the stage, even the vampire had just crawled out of the coffin, and the lights in the studio hit his face, but it was miserable, in the words of netizens on Twitter, "The color is different." ”

In the limelight, Charles conceded his defeat as the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers in quick succession, and Lu proved himself to be a qualified quarterback in the heat of professional football.

The regular season is coming to an end, and for the first time, Charles has truly affirmed Lu Ke's status and role in a direct and clear way, with a face like ashes like a defeated rooster, and his arrogant head is lowered. From audience feedback to commentators to official stances, the Chinese-American quarterback has truly established itself in the league.

With this alone, "Within the Union" managed to take its place in this wave and became a television program that witnessed history. The biggest winner is not Lu Ke, but ESPN - don't forget, the popularity of Monday Night Race is also ESPN.

No wonder the program team and the top management of the TV station will not hesitate to give up Charles and choose Lu Ke, which is a simple choice question.

Subsequently, Charles's microphone was completely muted, and the program team also placed a small standing sign in front of his position, with a red cross on it, indicating that Charles would not have any opportunity to speak in this episode of the program. Ironically, Charles's position was placed right in the center, to the right of host Edward Bowen.

In this episode of the show, except for the opening speech, Charles did not have any sound throughout the whole process, and he was completely reduced to a spectator.

Later, the gossip broke the news, and after the recording of the show ended, Charles went to the hospital to check his body, because he had not rested well the night before, he was infected with the flu, and he was ill and had to recuperate at home for two days; Strangely, Charles did not return to his home, but traveled to Pasadena, near Los Angeles, where he stayed at a friend's house, and disappeared from the media for two days.

……

As a result, it seems that there is some thunder and rain, and the punishment for Charles still lacks the highlights and excitement, far less interesting than the last "across the Pacific", and many viewers bustled around for a while, mocking Charles's embarrassment of trying to speak but having to shut up, and gradually lacking interest.

On Twitter, netizens have said——

"Skywalker is still too kind, such a slight punishment won't hurt his bones at all."

"If Darth-Vader had won, Skywalker would have completely cut off his career and handed over his starting position, and now Skywalker is just punishing him for not being able to speak for one episode, which is not fair!"

"I'm the only one who thinks, is this too cheap Charles? It is highly recommended that the next time you gamble, Skywalker please be ruthless and teach this guy a good lesson. ”

These memes are all from "Star Wars".

Luke Skywalker is a Jedi, the chosen son to save the world, while Luke's father is Anakin Skywalker, who was also a Jedi Knight, but in order to save his wife, he abandoned the light and became a dark knight, under the alias Darth Vader. Later, fatefully, Luke and Anakin took sides in a duel.

After defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, the "Skywalker Might" on Twitter maintained the formation, and almost everyone knew that Lu Ke's nickname was Skywalker, not "Bambi", after all, among young people, the influence of "Star Wars" is still unparalleled; So, naturally, Lu Ke's enemy was called the "Black Warrior" Darth Vader.

"Wait, it's not right, Darth Vader is Skywalker's father, what should Charles and Lu Ke do now?"

After the first person began to complain, everyone began to complain one after another, giggling and expanding. In the blink of an eye, the topic of discussion about Charles disappeared from the Internet.

As everyone said, this time the punishment was full of gimmicks, but the effect was mediocre, and they didn't even have the mood to complain.

For public figures, the most terrible thing is not criticism and swearing, but indifference and disregard.

It's like Charles's treatment now.

A moment ago, he was still annoyed by the lingering and annoying paparazzi; The next moment, he had disappeared from the topic, and after the humiliation of his career, he was like a bubble, fleeting, and people simply forgot about him.

Charles's punishment was not very powerful, not to mention, now people have a more worthy focus of discussion, "Lu Ke - Skywalker".

According to the official statistics of the NFL league, this Monday night game has fully refreshed the ratings and discussion records of this season's night games!

On the TV level, it surpassed all Thursday night games and Monday night games, setting two new highs in viewership and viewership this season, and the results were even crazier than last year's wildcard game in the first round of the playoffs; One of the most interesting stats was that viewership in the San Francisco Bay Area accounted for 80 percent of the night's viewership.

In other words, in the Bay Area, eight out of 10 viewers who turned on their televisions that night chose to play on Monday night. After the game, the Bay Area, led by San Francisco and Oakland, partyed all night long, and with Christmas a week to go, they had their annual party early.

At the network level, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have all set new highs for the season, almost comparable to the league championship game held on January 23 at the beginning of the year.

In the National League Championship Game, the Green Bay Packers, the bitter rival of the century, played against the Chicago Bears, and in the end, the away Packers overturned their opponents and successfully won the National League Championship, as the sixth seed, all the way from the wild card game to the division game, the championship game, and finally entered the Super Bowl, and then faced the American League champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

That game set a record for discussion in all aspects, and it was the hottest game except for the Super Bowl. And now, this Monday night game, all the data has been close to the game where the packers beat the Bears, and this is just a regular season game, and it really makes the league feel ...... Huge business opportunity!

The business opportunity, and the hidden benefits in the business opportunity, is the most important thing.

In the previous Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens, Lu Ke's performance was a big disappointment, and he was completely drowned in a turbulent wave; But in this Monday night game, Lu Ke completely changed people's fixed impressions, and even wrote his own history.

Sudden bad weather, poor physical condition, and a formidable opponent to be respected—last year's Super Bowl finalist team, this season's 10-3 top-notch team, this season's top-ranked defensive playoff team, and the universally questioned national live night stage.

Everything is a bad situation.

However, Lu Ke did it, dedicated an excellent game, and defeated the strongest defensive opponent in the league with a top-level performance. If it was just a rumor before, then this time, everyone witnessed it with their own eyes!

A look at the post-match stats will draw conclusions:

47 passes, 36 of 422 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, one tackle, quarterback rating of 122.8, PFF rating of 1.9.

Among them, the quarterback rating once again exceeded 120 points, while the PFF rating reached the highest of the season, even surpassing the first game of the regular season with five touchdowns, and the strong performance was unanimously praised by all industry professionals; What's more, such a result was created when the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive team showed top form, which is even more appalling.

No one knows whether Lu Ke will be able to continue this state next season; But what is certain is that Lu Ke is hot this season, in the first peak of his career, and his outstanding performance is enough to threaten the two elite quarterbacks of Aaron Rodgers and Drew Bliss to try to challenge for the title of regular season MVP this season.

It's not a joke.

Top performance, top game, top player, naturally, Lu Ke won the hearts of a large number of neutral fans. In addition to San Francisco and Pittsburgh, it is really difficult for the audience who watched this Monday night game not to be fans of Lu Kequan, for competitive sports, strength is always the best magic weapon, but also the best competitiveness.

This classic matchup even surpassed the San Francisco 49ers' zero-second offense to defeat the New York Giants, becoming one of the strong candidates for the best game of the season. Of course, the 49ers have had enough exciting matchups this season that when people start watching the replays, it's like they've found a treasure trove and fall further.

The influx of neutral fans has undoubtedly become the biggest highlight after the game, and the fans all stand up!

One of the most obvious changes is Google search, "Lu Ke/Chinese", a keyword that has dominated the search rankings for a week in a row, and the popularity still shows no signs of abating.

Not "Bambi", not "Luke Skywalker", but "Lu Ke/Chinese", named the search object exactly, and this time, without any misunderstanding episode, everyone knew that the object they were looking for was the first starting Chinese quarterback in NFL history: Lu Ke!
