"God, you're a madman, I can't take it, no, I just can't, take your time, take your time...... Can't you just take a little bit of effort? I never knew you were such a person! Now it's finally time to get to know you again! I need to change a partner ......"

Pushing open the door, Logan's vision caught the crowd in the hall, and the words were abruptly cut off, looking at the dense crowd in front of him in a daze, all of whom cast a strange and playful gaze, looking him up and down, indescribable.

Logan's mind was full of question marks and spread his hands, "What's wrong?" Any questions? I just finished a day's strength training, why did everyone have a hellish look on their faces? ”

"Oh." Aldon-Smith gave a look of realization, "So, you're talking about strength training. Then, he shrugged his shoulders and nodded to his little friend next to him, "I see." Everyone else nodded in the affirmative.

"If you're interested, welcome to join us. Training in the gym is always boring, everyone strength trains together, push each other forward, and the training effect should be better. Lu Ke smiled and sincerely sent out an invitation.

In the next second, everyone was shocked, and they all squeezed out an embarrassed but friendly smile, waving their hands again and again, "No, still don't need it", "Thank you for the invitation, we are fine", "I think our current training plan is already very good", "Yes, yes, yes, but thank you"......

Training with Lu Ke, that perverted maniac? That kind of inhuman torture? That kind of dervishetic daily training? They still don't appreciate it, and they just make up for it and they're hairy.

Secretly, everyone gave Logan a thumbs up, applauding and admiring his courage. Those eyes were full of pity and sympathy, and at the same time snickered with schadenfreude.

Today is Tuesday. On this day of the week, the rookie players gather at Lu Ke's house to watch the game video together, analyze the tactical manual together, and try to keep up with the team's progress together; Since the first week of the regular season, this habit has persisted and gradually evolved into a regular activity for rookies.

Since it was a working day, Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning were not at home, but they also knew about it and warmly welcomed it, and Jiang Youning would specially prepare drinks and snacks; Lu Zheng, on the other hand, will prepare the projector and white screen background in advance to prepare for the hard training of the players.

In just a few weeks, a tacit understanding has gradually formed between the rookie players, and they have become familiar with Lu Ke. A few weeks ago, they were still honestly waiting on the porch, and this week they simply let themselves in - Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning deliberately did not lock the door when they left the house.

Looking at the group of teammates in front of him who were afraid to avoid it, Lu Ke didn't puncture their lie bubbles, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that you would come over after lunch?" There are still a few hours left, how can we collectively advance it? "There is no need for a watch at all, Lu Ke's current living habits have formed a fixed pattern, and after the training is over, the time point will not be too far apart.

All the rookies looked at each other, and finally it was Aldon who said, "We lost a game, I thought, maybe today we need more time, maybe we have more work to do......"

After the bitterness of the defeat, the players' desire to win was really stimulated, and today they suddenly took the initiative. Everybody loves to win, everybody is chasing it, and obviously they need to work harder to get back to winning. That's true for Logan, and so are rookie players like Aldon.

"I didn't know, for me it was brand new too. You know, it was the first loss of my career. Lu Ke said seriously, seriously, seemingly arrogant, but in fact it was secretly ridiculous, and all the rookie players collectively laughed.

After the joke, Lu Ke really got serious, "Then I think, you can start first, I'll take a shower, and I'll join you right away." Think of it as your home. ”

In fact, after getting the junior plug-in, starting on Sunday, Lu Ke has been using the plug-in to repeatedly watch the video of the game against the Philadelphia Hawks, summing up experience from failures, and then continuing to make progress.

For the quarterback, though, he needs to read the game more holistically. Watching the game footage with the rookie players is another experience, and understanding the different perceptions of different positions can give Lu Ke more inspiration. Therefore, Lu Ke is also looking forward to today's gathering.

Before officially entering the meeting, Lu Ke returned to his room and took a shower; Logan, on the other hand, made his way to the guest bathroom on the first floor, which was as familiar to him as his home, and he didn't bother to cross the street to go home.

Back in the hall, everyone was sitting relaxed and casual in different corners, the lively discussion was constantly echoing, and even Aldon and Colin Jones were arguing with red ears and pulling their fellow defenders to emphasize their points.

That's a good thing.

In addition to the team's internal tactical meetings, due to the deterrence of the coaching staff and the dominance of the senior players, the rookie players, who lack both experience and knowledge, have relatively limited opportunities to participate in discussions, and more often than not, they listen attentively and passively absorb information.

But in the occasion of Lu Ke's house, every rookie player can freely speak, argue, and sort out his thoughts, and then confirm each other at the intra-team meeting on Wednesday and Thursday, and then further exchange ideas between rookies, and the growth rate will naturally accelerate.

Any doubts, any opinions, any ideas, can be freely explored here. Every player has benefited a lot.

When Lu Ke was about to join them, there was a knock at the door, so he changed his route, walked towards the gate, and shouted to his friends with a smile, "Calm down, people who don't know why, they thought that a murder was going to happen here." As he spoke, he opened the door, and then the smile stopped at the corner of his mouth, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, Lu Ke." Mike Rupatti, who was standing at the door, showed a shy smile, looked left and right, raised his right hand awkwardly, waved it, and said hello, his whole body was full of discomfort, and he hesitated for a moment, as if he still couldn't find a topic. Suddenly, realizing something, he took a step to the left, "I still have a companion, Anthony, aren't you going to say hello?" ”

Anthony Davis, another tall and strong tower man, forced out a smile, "Lu Ke, good morning, uh...... Did we pick the wrong time? Sorry, we didn't say hello and came over, we just happened to be passing by, I just thought...... Maybe, maybe we can come over and say hello. ”

Mike Ruppati and Anthony Davis, both sophomores, both offensive forwards, both guards, and both joined the league through the draft last year; And interestingly, both men were first-round picks, with the San Francisco 49ers trading draft picks and two first-round picks, with Davis the 11th pick in the first round and Ruppati the 17th pick in the first round.

In the offensive line, the guards are the players on either side of the center, that is, the players on the inside of the attacking line. Rupatti is the left guard who is responsible for defending Lu Ke's blind side, and he is undoubtedly one of the strongest players on the team, 6.4 feet (196 cm) and 331 pounds (150 kg); Davis, on the other hand, is the right guard, and his size is not far behind.

Lu Ke, who is also a member of the offensive team, is very familiar with Rupati and Davis, and most of their tactical drills are carried out together on the training ground; However, this familiarity is limited to this, and outside the training ground, they don't communicate much, let alone in life - they haven't even exchanged mobile phone numbers.

Lu Ke's brows furrowed slightly, "Uh, I'm even more curious, how do you know my home address?" ”

The vigilance and unfamiliarity of not entering made Rupati and Davis both stunned, exchanged glances, looked at each other and were at a loss, but they couldn't say a word.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, Lu Ke laughed heartily, "Guys, it's just a joke, relax." Rupati and Davis let out a long sigh of relief, but couldn't laugh, "Are you sure you were just passing by?" ”

Rupati scratched his head and said angrily, "No, we know, uh, there's a private tactical group between you guys that gets together to study tactics, and Anthony and I thought, maybe, we can join together and discuss tactics." ”

Rupati's words were a bit clumsy and he scratched his head again, "There are a lot of problems with the team's attacking front line right now, and if you want to pass the ball well, we need to work harder and provide a solid pocket protection, so ......"

"Oh." Lu Ke was also slightly stunned, unexpected, but reasonable, and then his expression brightened, "Of course there is no problem." For me, of course, this couldn't be better. Welcome, warm welcome. Lu Ke hurriedly gave way and opened the door, "Please come in, we are always welcome." ”

Rupati and Davis walked into the house one after the other, and then they saw the hot scene in front of them. Seeing familiar teammates outside the arena has a sense of strangeness, which makes both of them a little restrained.

"Please feel free to do so, don't you need me to introduce you?" Lu Ke closed the door and patted the backs of the two offensive front partners, "You find a place to sit down, then watch the video, join the discussion, and express your opinions freely, that's all the precautions." By the way, do you need any special drinks? Coke? Beer? Or soda? ”

Rupatti couldn't keep up with the rhythm, but Davis was more proactive, "We will drink whatever everyone drinks, and there is no need to deliberately bother." Then Davis said to Rupati, "Come on, Mike, that's what we're aiming for, isn't it?" ”

On Tuesday, which is usually a relaxing day, a group of young people are working diligently.
