1542 Coming to the Blue Castle again
"Bambi Bambi, look! Did you see that? That's! Hahahaha! Logan sat on the seat of the team bus, saw the bustling scene outside through the window, and was really surprised, and couldn't help but hit Lu Ke who was closing his eyes with his shoulder, and began to shout, "'Bambi, don't worry, we will beat you, gently', haha!" 'Gently', the dry humor of this slogan is so funny. ”
Whenever you arrive at the away game, you can always see the home fans trying to "welcome" the away players, swearing, picking, ridiculing, taunting, complaining, etc., etc., all kinds of strange and everything, including the Cindera Stadium, racking their brains to try to show the away team the horse, and to declare themselves the owners of the stadium in a tough and strong way, which seems to have become a common practice in the major professional leagues.
The more sworn enemies in the same region, the more intense the "welcome" means will be-
Just look at the six matchups between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers in the past three seasons, whether it is Candlestick Field or Century Chain Stadium, it is hell for the visiting team, every minute and every second is torment, losing is not losing, it has nothing to do with the victory or defeat of the game, and the home momentum must be in place.
The same is true today!
Faced with a single-game elimination system in the playoffs, Green Bay Packers fans must also make the most of their home-court advantage and put pressure on the San Francisco 49ers as much as possible; But if you take a closer look at the content of those slogans, things start to get subtle again: this is ...... Is it flirting?
Lu Ke was woken up by Logan, he rubbed his eyes, turned his head to look through the window, and then saw the Green Bay fans wearing green jerseys, spread out mightily, like a dense and vast primeval forest, blocking the streets of the entire Green Bay Town.
If it's the home of the Arizona Cardinals or Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers' team bus driver will do what he can to speed up as much as he can, get the players into the locker room as quickly as possible, and avoid exposing the players to the malicious provocation of the home fans.
Today, the driver of the team's bus slowed down slowly, even if the road ahead was smooth, there was no rush to move forward, and the players could clearly see the figures of the fans outside the window, and they all put their cheeks against the window, watching with joy as they watched such a "mezzanine welcome".
There was something joyful about the scene.
"Bambi, don't cry when you lose."
"Sorry, man, the victory isn't yours!"
"Clash of the strong! The brave wins! ”
"We respect the Nine, so we have to beat San Francisco!"
"Welcome to the Blue Castle, but let's stay here!"
"Ryan Baldwin is with us!"
Thousands of strange signboards of support are spread out in front of you, and all kinds of slogans are dazzling, but more importantly, the fans who hold up the slogans greets the arrival of the San Francisco 49ers with smiles, and declare the Green Bay Packers' determination to victory with their eyes.
Unconsciously, the corners of the mouth also rose, and then the blood boiled, the kind of fighting spirit that longed to stand on the court to go head-to-head and win the battle was raising its head, interpreting the core meaning of competitive sports vividly, and it seemed that the horn was sounding faintly!
Lu Ke likes the atmosphere of the Blue Castle Stadium because it reminds him of the Candlestick Stadium – look, change is quietly ingraining in his blood.
Once, Lu Ke dreamed of being able to stand on the Lamberton Stadium and represent the Green Bay Packers; Now, he still loves the Green Bay Packers team and these fans, but he is an out-and-out nine, a loyal nine from blood to soul, and each cell has left its mark on the San Francisco 49ers and Candlestick Field.
The Blue Castle Stadium is still one of Lu Ke's favorite courses, more because it can awaken the fond memories of the Candlestick Stadium in the depths of his heart, those cheers, those support, those enthusiasm, those perseverance and those moments, all of which are contained in the eyes of the fans, coming together to make the whole stadium radiate a divine light.
This is the first time in three seasons that the San Francisco 49ers have played in the playoffs on the road, as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the St. Louis Rams in their final game, which also made the San Francisco 49ers regret to fall to the "fifth seed" spot, and thus lost their home-court advantage, invisibly, adding more uncertainty to the difficult prospects of the playoffs.
Blue Castle is clearly not an easy home for visitors, with fan frenzy and cold weather making it one of the league's most famous devils' home stadiums, and the cold spell at Green Bay has put every team in the playoffs in January to the test.
The atmosphere, intensity, mentality, and state of mind in the regular season and the playoffs are inherently different, and the difference between home and away games further amplifies this "difference", which also adds a lot of uncertainty to the game. Now, the San Francisco 49ers will face their first playoff test on the road; At the same time, the first test is about to take place at the Blue Castle Stadium in the cold winter, which does not seem to be good news for Lu Ke.
Just look at the slogan of the Green Bay fans:
"Bambi, watch out for colds."
Not only did Lu Ke see this slogan, but Crabtree and Aldon also saw it, and they all ran towards Lu Ke one after another, gloating, "Bambi, have you been teased by the Green Bay fans?" ”
Then, the players in the team's big bus burst into laughter.
Lu Ke rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said to Aldon, "This is the offensive group bus, and the spies of your defense group are mixed here, what's going on?" ”
Aldon immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Wronged! Absolutely wronged! I was kidnapped by my uncle-in-law and the crab, okay? I am a victim! ”
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of complaining around, and Aldon was embattled.
"Bambi, pray you don't get lost in this forest of Green Bay!"
A signboard slogan entered Lu Ke's line of sight, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he reacted to what "Green Bay Forest" meant, and laughed after a puff, the complaints of Green Bay fans are really high-level cold humor, obviously, it is very in line with Lu Ke's interest orientation.
He loved it.
……
The team's bus slowly docked at the entrance of the Blue Castle Stadium players' tunnel under the special welcome of the Green Bay fans in the stadium, and then the San Francisco 49ers players entered the stadium one after another, ready to adapt to the venue.
When entering the field, the training of the Green Bay packers had just ended, and the players could be seen leaving in twos and threes, and the two teams were staggered together, and everyone greeted each other, even if they were not familiar, they were still able to say a few words, and then Lu Ke saw Rodgers.
Sweating profusely, Rogers seemed to be caught up in his own thoughts, not walking side by side with his teammates, walking alone, his helmet still shaking in his hands, looking like a middle school student who had just finished school, waving his school bag and walking home.
But Rogers still noticed Lu Ke, he retracted his thoughts, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took the initiative to greet Lu Ke and gave Lu Ke a hug, "Adapt to the venue?" Are you sure you didn't arrive early? Wait, or are you going to come over and spy on our tactics? That's not kind. ”
In front of Lu Ke, Rogers always likes to joke, because Lu Ke is the same, "Voyeurism tactics are not choosing today, today is just a little warm-up, what can you see?" Or is your injury not healed, and you are worried that we will find out in advance? ”
The back and forth of complaints made the players passing by next to them show their faces full of disgust, and they teased one after another, "Open a room, you two, I really can't bear to look at it directly!" ”
"Are you ready?" Rogers ignored the voice next to him and looked at Lu Ke with a smile, "Green Bay in January is not San Francisco in September, tell you in advance, it has been cooling down in the past two days, as if the weather forecast says that a cold wave is coming, I don't know how much the temperature will drop, you better prepare in advance and adapt to the venue today." When the time comes, we can have a fair encounter and not lose, but blame me for not informing you in advance and then put all the blame on the weather. ”
"Huh. Ha. Lu Ke laughed dryly, "It's best to be like this, if you get the help of the weather but still can't win, then you're bad, what should you blame?" Lu Ke paused slightly, raised his chin, and said with an arrogant expression, "Because the opponent's strength is too strong?" ”
This is...... Does the princess sell melons and boast about herself?
Rogers shook his head repeatedly, "I really didn't expect you to be such a Bambi, when did you swell to such an extent?" Be careful, like a water balloon, it will burst when you poke it. ”
"Isn't the water balloon supposed to freeze into ice in Green Bay?" Lu Ke continued.
Rogers hurriedly raised his hand to hug himself, and rubbed his arms exaggeratedly, "Your jokes are really getting colder and colder, I can't catch them anymore." Be careful that you don't have friends in the future. ”
"I thought the joke was a perfect fit for Green Bay." Lu Ke still goes his own way.
Rogers slapped Lu Ke's shoulder with his helmet, "Goodbye." Let's not talk, or the weather in Green Bay won't be able to wary me, and your cold jokes will make me unplayable. ”
The two of them didn't say anything more, their eyes signaled, and they staggered by, Rogers headed towards the locker room, while Lu Ke went on the court to prepare for the warm-up. Obviously, both quarterbacks are ready to give their all, friends off the court, rivals on the court, and they're ready to win.
As time passed, Rogers' words were validated - or rather, the weather forecast was finally accurate once again, and Green Bay was hit by a cold spell, the temperature plummeted, and then ...... It's snowing.
