808 continues to be strong
The 2012 season has ended in the blink of an eye after six weeks of competition and rivalry, and the competition has become more and more fierce, with a total of three teams winning all five weeks before; After the week, the Houston Texans fell first, losing at home to the Green Bay Packers and failing to extend their winning streak.
As a result, the only teams that remain undefeated this season are the San Francisco 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons.
But overall, the Atlanta Falcons have a relatively easy schedule, and of the six opponents they have beaten so far, only the Denver Broncos made the playoffs last season; In the same set of stats, the San Francisco 49ers have a three-to-three number, including defending champions New York Giants, last season's top seeds in the National League, Green Bay Packers, and the recovering Detroit Lions.
Naturally, when Chuck once again awarded the top spot in the power rankings to the San Francisco 49ers, there was no controversy, but disagreements were inevitable. Some people support the 49ers, and naturally there are people who support the Falcons, and the views and opinions are still different.
Needless to say, these two teams are now the hottest representatives in the league, and both teams are also from the National League, which has once again sparked the rhetoric that "the National League is more competitive than the American League". It's a pity that the two teams didn't have a chance to meet in the regular season this season, otherwise they can look forward to the ultimate matchup of "King to King".
From "San Francisco 49ers vs. Atlanta Falcons" to "Lu Ke vs. Matt Lane", the discussion topics in the league are boiling and endless, so much so that the friendly interaction between Lu Ke and Ryan has also become the focus of discussion among reporters in the Pro Bowl skills game, and the two quarterbacks have been asked what they think of each other.
"I love Matt. He's a quarterback who can digest any joke, and Tony and I enjoyed talking to Matt very, very much during the Pro Bowl. Of course, I mean, he's also very good at passing and is undoubtedly one of the best players in the league, but personally, I like his sense of humor even more. ”
This is a remark from Lu Ke; On the other hand, Ryan also gave a corresponding reply.
"I don't know, I never understand his jokes, he and Tony seem to be from Mars, and the way of thinking is really incomprehensible. So, if we meet next time, I hope he can stop telling jokes. Oh, you mean his abilities? There's no doubt that Bambi is a great quarterback, and I must say that the league still hasn't given him the treatment he deserves. ”
When the reporter pressed Ryan again about the topic of "jokes", he still had a wooden expression, "No, I'm serious about that." I don't like it. ”
"Hey, you should say it to my face, through a reporter, it's hurting." On the other hand, when Lu Ke was interviewed on related issues, he continued to joke and joke.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is precisely because of the good relationship between Lu Ke and Ryan that the two of them can complain to each other so easily.
And the same goes for Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys, "No, I don't know them, I don't know them at all, they don't mention me in their conversations, do they?" We are not friends. Hey, did Bambi mention it? Ha, yes, we're kind of friendly, he's the Charlie Chaplin of rugby, and believe me, I'm serious. ”
Last year, the National League showed a three-legged trend, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Bliss and Lu Ke, and the situation of chasing me continued into the playoffs; This year, the first half of the season of the National League presented a pattern of double dragon play, Lu Ke and Lane competed with each other and did not give in to each other, I don't know if the second half of the season can continue.
From the current point of view, Lu Ke has quietly become the most favorable candidate for the MVP of the regular season.
In this week's post-match technical statistics against the New York Giants, Lu Ke once again delivered the best performance of his career.
Eli Manning, 367 yards on 24-of-38 passes, three touchdowns, one interception, 110.3 quarterback and 1.4 PFF.
Lu Ke, 39 passes, 27 shots, 507 yards, five touchdowns, one catch, no interceptions, quarterback rating 156.7, PFF rating 2.0.
In this game, Lu Ke ushered in an all-round outbreak, the quarterback rating and PFF score both set a new career high, of which the latter got a full score for the first time in history, and the former was only one step away from the full score of 158.3;
In addition to such a top-notch performance, there was also a 23-yard run that could not be ignored - because the final wave of attack was so shocking that it caused a storm of heated discussions, so many people simply forgot about Lu Ke's unexpected running choice after the start of the second half.
This is the real peak state!
If the MVP of the regular season is selected now, it is estimated that Lu Ke can easily be elected with a high vote, this is not a random speculation, but a reasoned and well-founded inference-
In the sixth week of the regular season, the league's official weekly awards were released.
The American League Offensive Player of the Year Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos, the Best Defensive Player of the Buffalo Bills' Jacoby Byrd, and the Best Agents Player Jacoby Jones of the Baltimore Ravens.
National League Offensive Player of the Year San Francisco 49ers Lu Ke, Best Defensive Player of the New York Giants Antrell Roller, Best Agent Player San Francisco 49ers Kyle Williams.
This is the second time since the start of the 2012 season that Lu Ke has been named Player of the Week, and he is also the only player in the league to be awarded the Player of the Week twice, including all players in the offensive group, defense group and special service group; In addition, Lu Ke was also elected the best offensive player of September in the National League.
Incidentally, the winner of the American League's Defensive Player of the Month for September was JJ Watt.
Obviously, after the start of the new season, Lu Ke was in full swing and walked out of a rising curve, from fans and spectators to comment analysts, from social networks to league officials, everything ushered in a full explosion, truly ushering in a heyday.
Just when everyone was worried about the "second-year syndrome", Lu Ke handed in a perfect answer sheet in the opposite direction, leading the league with absolutely excellent performance, from team records to individual performances, which also made Lu Ke easily surpass the topic of conversation Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, and became the most talked-about player so far this season.
However, for Lu Ke, everything has not changed much, at least not earth-shattering.
He doesn't have time to care about the buzz of discussion on social media platforms, because the regular season is still going on, not an off-season, not the end of the season, and he has to focus on preparing for the next game; What's more, the next two games are divisional battles, which can't be seen as simple games, and he needs more time to prepare for the games.
When a person is far away from the media and information, he or she will unconsciously create a vacuum of no one, as if he is isolated from the world, and completely quiet.
This is Lu Ke's current state.
Although today is Monday, the first rest day after the competition day, Lu Ke still completed the schedule at the usual pace: recovery training in the morning, watching the game video in the afternoon, and returning to his parents' house for dinner in the evening.
After the start of the regular season, Lu Ke's life has become extremely regular, almost every day is full, only a little time can relax a little, naturally, the time to meet friends and family has decreased sharply, especially now that Lu Ke lives alone, Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning themselves also need to go to work, and the number of meetings is even more limited.
As a result, every week, the only opportunity for parents to meet with him is match day, and it is between the stands and the stadium, let alone away games, although this is the price that professional players must pay, but Lu Ke does not want this.
So, after the start of the season, Lu Ke made adjustments to his schedule, as much as possible to arrange the night off after the game day, and made a special trip home to have dinner with his parents, even if it was just to listen to their boring nagging, which is also good; If this week is canceled for some reason, then the next week is bound to stick to it as well.
Last week, in order to prepare for the New York Giants, Lu Ke watched the game video without sleep or food, and skipped the dinner on Monday, and this week it can't. No matter how difficult and important next week's game is, there is no substitute for the family's time.
Because of Monday, Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning both need to go to work, and the dinner time is arranged after eight o'clock or half past eight, and every time Jiang Youning insists on cooking by himself and cooking some delicious home-cooked dishes for his son.
Later, Jiang Youning's company unexpectedly learned of this tradition, and her immediate boss also gave the green light, allowing Jiang Youning to leave work 30 minutes early every Monday and make a special trip to the traditional vegetable market and supermarket to buy ingredients - this is a small benefit exclusive to Lu Ke, and it can also be seen that he now has a super high popularity in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Of course, Lu Ke would not go home at the right time, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, he drove back to his house unhurriedly, and the neighbors greeted him warmly, and then Lu Ke sat down in the familiar hall.
On the coffee table, there are all kinds of hometown snacks, all of which are handmade by Jiang Youning, sauced beef, peanuts, magnolia slices, walnuts, nougat...... For all, Jiang Youning took the recipe and asked professionals, including Lu Ke's personal nutritionist and the team's official nutritionist, and after confirming that all the ingredients met the regulations, he personally completed the production.
Lu Ke sat down comfortably on the sofa, holding a bucket of walnut kernels, and slowly relaxed.
Until there was a knock at the door, "knock knock".
