500 is neither humble nor arrogant

There are no jokes, no humorous teasing, not even polite pleasantries. Lu Ke made his own declaration strongly.

Not humble, not arrogant, not reserved, polite and courteous!

These simple words are full of sincerity and firmness, refusing to compromise, refusing to retreat, refusing to ignore, putting forward their own protests and dissatisfactions in a dignified manner, and clearly stating their positions and demands.

Lu Ke showed an unprecedented posture, stood under the spotlight, and made his voice to the world.

What happened on the court today, this is an absolutely unforgivable behavior, and Lu Ke will never give up, let alone swallow his anger and calm down.

Lu Ke has never regarded himself as a hero, a hero who shoulders the responsibility of rejuvenating the nation on the world stage, or a hero who is burdened with creating history and writing miracles. He's just an ordinary rugby player, he's just a professional athlete who just graduated from college, and he doesn't have the ability or the prestige to take on such a heavy responsibility.

But, when things come, when the pressure is overwhelming, when problems arise, when conflicts erupt, when calls for duty...... Lu Ke, he will definitely not back down!

Just like today.

He needs to make his voice heard, he needs people to listen to his voice, he needs the society to really pay attention to his voice, abide by the law, keep to himself, and blindly retreat, which is unable to protect his own rights and interests, only by taking the initiative to attack, take the initiative to fight, and take the initiative to fight, he can win a place in the chaos and confrontation! A place of your own!

If, just if, his actions can become a spark, ignite the momentum of the prairie fire, and truly unite the entire Chinese community and rise strongly, then he will not hesitate to stand up and burn this flame!

After the loud and sonorous words ended, Lu Ke did not stay any longer, nodded politely to all the reporters, and then turned around and walked to the locker room, leaving all the reporters behind.

He knew what today's victory meant; He also knows that today's game was full of focus. But at this moment, everything else doesn't matter, because the victory itself says it all, and all he needs to do is make his voice heard and stand his ground.

That's enough.

After entering the player's tunnel, the door of the locker room was not far away, but there was an old man with gray temples standing next to the door, which made Lu Ke's footsteps pause for a moment, and then, the old man raised his head, showed a polite smile, and greeted, "Hey, you're here." ”

Lech Steinberg, that's his agent.

……

Lu Ke left like this, killing all the reporters by surprise.

In people's impressions, Chinese players are still low-key and introverted, not some old stereotype, the most direct representative of the proof is Yao/Ming, the basketball superstar who has established himself in the NBA, has become one of the most widely known Chinese players in the United States, and there are really a lot of stars and topics around him.

When Yao/Ming was interviewed, he was deeply impressed by his steady and thick style, which further proved that Oriental culture is modest, restrained and cautious.

But today, Lu Ke unexpectedly chose to take the initiative, unswervingly stated his position, and righteously stated his demands, clearly drew the line, and marked the definition of things as soon as possible.

Not to mention how the follow-up of this incident will react and develop, but such an active and strong posture, such a formal and frank expression, but it is eye-catching and impressive, for a while, reporters can't help but savor it, and the afterglow of shock is far more profound than imagined.

The regular season has been going on for 14 weeks, and everyone thinks they know the Chinese player well enough, but it's clear that the surprises continue. Sharp, calm and powerful, just right, it really shows a wonderful personal charm.

Standing in the crowd, Jay only felt impassioned and excited, eager to applaud and pay respect, he knew the pressure Lu Ke was facing more clearly than anyone else, and also understood Lu Ke's efforts more clearly than anyone else, as Lu Ke's roommate and friend, Jay sincerely hoped that he could use the pen to express the most sincere and powerful support.

Jay couldn't help but think of Emily Puvo, the editor-in-chief of the UCLA school newspaper, who had written several stories about Lu Ke on the Bruins and successfully captured the important connection between race and sports, and later laid the groundwork for the call to the court above the Rose Bowl.

After graduation, there is no contact between them. Now, Jay was thinking seriously that maybe he should send Emily an email.

Stunned for a moment, distracted for a moment, when the reporters came back to their senses, they found that Lu Ke had gone away, his figure had completely disappeared, and he couldn't find the target even if he wanted to call, which suddenly made the reporters stunned, so what should I do with this victory? So what about Patrick Peterson? What about the playoffs?

Then, Logan appeared in front of reporters.

"It's a shame."

Although the reporters did not open their mouths to ask questions, although Logan did not have to answer, he still took the initiative to bring up the matter, did not hide his attitude, and expressed his dissatisfaction mercilessly, "What happened in this stadium today, the performance and attitude of those fans, it is a shame. ”

"I thought people were changing, learning to accept differences and embrace differences. But apparently, the first black president in history did not change people's narrow-mindedness and stupidity. Logan's words were sharp, if not full fire, but they were already unreserved.

Lu Ke needs to pay attention to his expression and choice of language, but as a bystander, and he is also white, Logan does not need to, "Today's victory, this is our response!" Whether you like it or not, on this court, Lu Ke should have a place. ”

Not only Logan, Marcus then also publicly expressed his opinion, "I am on Lu Ke's side. Not just because he's a good quarterback, but because he's a great leader. This should not be the way he is treated, nor should it be the attitude of our society towards minorities. ”

"Listen to your own words, how ugly and how bad." Marcus, a black man, empathized with Lu Ke's plight, "We are all equal, and God loves every one of His people and loves Him as He is." It's a shame that in today's game, those fans betrayed their beliefs. ”

People expected Logan's excitement and Marcus's support, but they didn't expect the support and affirmation from the other players of the San Francisco 49ers.

Although a small number of players chose to avoid it, refusing to respond to such a sensitive/emotional topic; But the active support of Jonathan Goodwin, Patrick Willis and David Akens, the three core veterans, is undoubtedly the most important and determined force, which has laid the situation and attitude of the team's dressing room.

What's more, head coach Hubble said in an interview, "It's a pity, and I'm very sorry about that. The views and sights of those fans are too narrow, they don't see Lu Ke's excellence, they don't see Lu Ke's efforts, they just live in their own greenhouse box, still upholding prejudice and discrimination. This is a great pity. ”

"Personally, Lu Ke is a very, very good player. And today's results prove it. Hubble's words do not have much novelty, but they uphold his usual style, simple, clear, crisp and neat, directly stating his views and positions, and faintly revealing a sharpness.

Obviously, Lu Ke's Chinese identity is not a problem for this team.

It was the first surprise after the race.

Regarding today's sensitive/sensitive incident, Lu Ke's attitude and the attitude of the players, to a certain extent, will determine the future direction of things; Obviously, they are on the same side.

So determined, so united, so zealous; Moreover, this is still shown in the first interview after the game, without discussion, without embellishment, and without official filtering, truly showing the most authentic reaction of everyone.

For journalists, this was indeed an accident.

It stands to reason that there will still be some divisions within the 49ers team, winning is one thing, faith and discrimination are another. Prejudice against Asians in the entire society and culture does not precipitate overnight, it is part of the culture and ideology.

As it turned out, a series of players such as Parres Harrrelson, Colin Kaepernick, Brellen Edwards and others have chosen to keep their mouths shut, and it can be seen that they are clearly taking it with reservations; But they didn't fall into the trap, or openly targeted Lu Ke, just avoiding the topic.

It can be seen from such details that leaving aside the entire Asian group, at least for Lu Ke, the first Chinese player in the league, they have no intention of attacking publicly. Does this mean that the rugby field has begun to get used to Lu Ke's existence?

Then next, the official attitude of the San Francisco 49ers, as well as the official attitude of the league, will further characterize the event, which is an important event for the entire NFL's 32 teams.

……

At the same time, the conversation between the reporters and the 49ers players was in full swing, and the exchange between the reporters and the Cardinals players was also in full swing, and it was clear that the atmosphere of the latter was not so lovely; In addition, at the door of the locker room, the conversation between Lu Ke and Lehe was also unfolding.

Lehe looked at Lu Ke with a smile, "You did it on purpose, right?" You deliberately didn't meet with me and responded to the relevant questions in front of reporters in advance, right? ”
