Seven:30 o'clock, strictly speaking, this time point is not early, and the team's assembly training time can be even earlier; But today wasn't the team's scheduled training time, and Randy Moss arrived at the team's office building early, which seemed irregular.

In Moss's thirteen-year career, this was the first of its kind.

Don't say it's early, it's already very good not to be late; Not to mention the extra practice, it is already very rare to be absent; Not to mention the extra study, I have already played normally without completely emptying. For the first time in years of dominating the league with talent, Moss has really calmed down, immersed himself in the team, and actively adapted to the pace of his teammates, at least once in an attempt.

Standing outside the offensive team's room, the sound of lively discussions could be faintly heard through the door panel, which made Moss's steps more and more hesitant, and even at this point, he still questioned whether his compromise was the right one - changing habits is never easy.

But in the end, Moss convinced himself: for the sake of the New York giants.

The closest Moss came to the Super Bowl in his career was the 2007 New England Patriots' all-win season, where he faced the New York Giants on the Super Bowl stage, only to suffer his only loss that season and eventually miss out on his Super Bowl ring. That's my only chance so far.

Next week, the San Francisco 49ers will host the New York giants at home.

It was a crucial revenge battle for the team and for Moss himself. He knows that winning this game doesn't mean winning the Super Bowl, but at least, he can beat the New York Giants himself, and he wants to be part of the win.

Taking a deep breath, Moss finished his mental construction, and then pushed open the door to the conference room in front of him.

In the conference room, the sound of the discussion did not stop, and all the players were engrossed in the discussion in front of them.

Michael Crabtree and Ted Jean stood in front of the whiteboard, accumulating and discussing word by word, red faces, and not giving in to each other; The rest of the teammates all sat in front of them, listening intently, exchanging their opinions from time to time, blending with the discussions between the two people in front of them.

For a moment, Moss was a little embarrassed, not knowing whether he should go forward or backward.

At this moment, the teammates all noticed Moss's entry -

If someone comes in, it's not unusual, the tactical meeting of the offensive group is supposed to be in and out, and not everyone can arrive on time, or participate in the whole process; The problem is that Moss stood by the door after entering, and when he didn't come in for a long time, he stood there like an iron tower, which was so dazzling that it was extremely difficult to ignore.

At this time, there was a slight drop in the sound of discussion, and it could be clearly felt that the discussion of Crabtree and Jean, who were blocked by the whiteboard, became more and more prominent.

Obviously, no one expected Moss's appearance.

Since the start of the voluntary training camp in May, in the five months before and after, Moss has never participated in the tactical discussion meetings organized by the players, and even in the tactical meetings initiated by the coaching staff, Moss has always been a dispensable little transparent -

It's not the team's reason, it's Moss's reason. Above the meeting, he barely makes any remarks, and even sneakily dozes off in the middle of the meeting. The whole person seemed distracted, out of place, out of place, out of content, as if he was refusing to fit in with the team, and didn't seem to care about tactical discussions at all.

Now, suddenly seeing Moss at the door, every player began to doubt their eyes, and for a moment they didn't know what to say. So there was silence.

Vernon Davis subconsciously tried to stand up and get ready to meet; Because in the offensive group, several of their receivers are more familiar with each other, and now that Crabtree and Jean are standing in front of them to explain the tactics, the burden of breaking the deadlock naturally falls on his shoulders -

Logan is white.

But between hesitations, unexpectedly, Vernon's center of gravity did not adjust, and he sat down on the chair with a butt, really embarrassed, and blurted out a shout, "Randy? ”

Unexpectedly, another voice next to him also rang out at the same time, "Randy." All eyes, including Vernon, turned to the source of the sound, and unexpectedly but reasonably, it was Lu Ke who spoke, the team's quarterback and the captain of the offensive team.

"Hey, Randy, good morning." There was no surprise or surprise, Lu Ke greeted with a smile in an extremely normal manner.

"We're talking about the defensive interpretation of the first gear, the running routes of the wide receivers and the near end, how to tear apart the area of the four-man defense, and Michael and Ted are convinced that their own running lines are the right and effective, how do you think? We can use different perspectives. ”

What's more, there are no pleasantries.

Lu Ke cut straight to the point, as if Moss's participation in today's tactical meeting was really a normal thing, and he completed the transition of welcome and acceptance in a bland manner, and invisibly, he already regarded Moss as a member of the offensive group.

Moss could feel the kindness that Lu Ke's words always released, and more importantly, the topics that the offensive team was discussing were also what he was best at, he didn't need to make unnecessary adjustments at all, and he could seamlessly join the tactical meeting by taking a step and going around to the front of the whiteboard.

"What kind of offense are we talking about? Two times two? Or multi-line? Moss struggled to ignore the curious and inquisitive gazes of the other players, and all his attention was focused on the tactical discussion at hand.

Crabtree and Jean, who didn't know why, slowed down a little by half a beat, and then reacted, although a trace of confusion flashed in their eyes, but the attention of the two people always revolved around the tactics, and then they immediately came back to their senses and returned to the discussion again, "The basic running route of two times two...... Crabtree took the lead and said his thoughts.

……

Just after a quarter of eight, more than half an hour before today's official assembly time, Jim Hubble still arrived at the team's office building early.

In this week's home game, Hubble also held his breath. The media and fans kept shouting "revenge, revenge, revenge", and after repeating the same slogan too many times, even Hubble himself couldn't help but start to care - although he knew that this was just an ordinary regular season game, no special treatment, after all, not a sworn enemy in the same district, but the impact of media rendering was inevitable.

What's more, the New York giants are indeed their bitter hands. The fluid offense, facing the opponent's not very good defensive group, always seems to lack a little bit of chemistry, which is also a problem that must be solved in this week's game, otherwise the defeat is still a high probability event, and no one can underestimate the New York giants.

Last night, I was busy until eleven o'clock and didn't go home, and today I came to the office early.

Stepping out of the elevator, Hubble saw five or six people gathered in front of the office, talking about something, and after noticing Hubble's appearance, everyone's voices lowered slightly, and they cast a greeting gaze.

Something strange.

But what's even more strange is that there is a small group of people bustling around the corridor, about seven or eight people, all standing at the door of a conference room, if Hubble's spatial orientation memory is not wrong, it is the conference room of the offensive group, so what are they gathered there for?

"What's going on?" Hubble shouted.

In an uproar, everyone stood up straight and turned around, and after noticing that it was Hubble, their expressions all looked a little embarrassed, but someone still bravely stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Remember?" It's Wednesday, and Bambi always has an early offensive team meeting to exchange ideas for some replays, and today, Randy is here. ”

Hubble was about to say: what was there to make a fuss about Bambi's tactical meeting; In the next second, Hubble's eyes widened, revealing an incredible expression, and he blurted out in surprise and doubt, "What? ”

Hubble's astonishment pleased all the other staff members around him, and everyone nodded their heads with meaningful expressions.

Hubble couldn't help but step forward, half-crouched down, looked through the matte glass under the doorknob of the conference room, and then saw Moss, who was standing in the middle of a heated discussion with Crabtree, Vernon, and Logan-

At this time, the battle was a bit fierce, everyone was foaming at the mouth, red faces, and seemed to be arguing about something, and there were even signs of quarreling and fighting.

It's definitely a rare sight.

After Moss joined the team, Hubble has been struggling, he knows that Moss is a very good addition to the team's offensive group, but he has never thought of a good way to use it, especially Moss's temper and personality are basically not oil and salt, soft and hard, even if he is the head coach, Moss does not pay attention to it at all.

So much so that now five weeks into the regular season, Moss is still a "salary thief" - only taking a salary and not contributing.

Countless media outlets are complaining that the San Francisco 49ers, who signed Moss, have never found the right way to use it, wasted salaries, wasted salary caps, but failed to make effective additions to the team, "Perhaps, Jim Hubble should look for Bill Bilicek and ask for a copy of the 'Randy Moss Manual'." ”

Fortunately, the San Francisco 49ers are still winning, and the conflict has not yet erupted. But deep down, Hubble is also slightly anxious.

Today I finally saw a little change and breakthrough, and Hubble couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
