124 Voices of doubt
The bus slowed down slowly, the crowd blocked the driveway, and through the windows, you could see faces that were either enthusiastic or fierce, twisted into strange shapes with cheers and screams, banging on the bus with all their might, trying to attract the attention of the players.
"Get out, Bambi!"
"We don't need a baby! We need a superman! ”
"Lu Ke = no, no, no!"
"Earth is too dangerous, aliens."
"Do you know what you're doing? Are you sure? ”
……
Bright and dazzling signboards filled every corner of the sight, overwhelming all the sounds of swearing and rejection, without any hope in sight, and stretched out mightily, like an endless haze, completely cutting off all possibilities of escape, not even a little foothold.
In the distance, you can even see a small team, about a hundred or so, holding up the "No. 14" jersey in the air, while there is a bright red "NO" next to it, they are shouting in unison, "No! No! No! The words were concise and powerful, but they poured out over the sea and made people breathless.
"Bambi, are you okay?" Logan patted Lu Ke's arm and asked worriedly.
Marcus, who was sitting in the back, also stood up, put his hands on Lu Ke's shoulders, and thoughtfully massaged him, "Don't pay attention to those clowns, they are just echo worms, and they don't know what they're doing." ”
Lu Ke turned his head and smiled at his friend, "Now, do you know how miserable my previous life was?" A self-deprecating remark made both Logan and Marcus stunned, and whenever people mentioned racial discrimination, they seemed to be referring specifically to black people. But in fact, in the immigrant society of the United States, Asians are the bottom of the biological chain.
"Don't worry, if I had been scared, I wouldn't have chosen rugby in the first place." Lu Ke's eyes flashed with confidence, "In the face of doubts, the best way to do it...... It's the courage to meet the blow and slap them in the face. The decisive words were not only not timid and fearful, but also eager to try.
Turning his head, he looked out the window again. "What's more, they have angered my bottom line." Parents, this is Lu Ke's bottom line.
The fans can question him, attack him, hate him as much as they want, it's all right, because that's what he has to deal with, and he realised it when he chose the path of a professional footballer. But, they can't infringe on his parents, no one can! Unprecedentedly, Lu Ke's desire for victory has reached the pinnacle of the peak!
Beyond that, there's another reason not to lose tonight: the Seattle Seahawks.
Fate is like a reincarnation, and at the end of the round, he and the Seahawks are once again on opposite sides.
At the beginning of the rookie training camp, the insults and discrimination of the Seattle Seahawks are still vividly remembered.
Lu Ke clearly knows that standing on the football field, discrimination is a challenge that must be faced, just like when black people first stood on the field, not only the Seattle Seahawks, but the entire league, all the media, and even countless spectators, their contempt, provocation and contempt will be everywhere. With every step he takes, he will carry the burden of self-proof and the hardships of defeating discrimination.
Now, Lu Ke has encountered his first challenge. In the first game of his career, against the Seattle Seahawks, this is really an interesting opponent, and it is also a perfect opponent.
It's not just about proving yourself, it's not just about making a name for yourself, it's not just about teaching your opponent a lesson, it's about fighting for victory. Use your victories to kickstart your career and take your place in the professional arena!
For the sake of parents, for oneself, for the future, and for victory. In today's game, Lu Ke can find a thousand and ten thousand reasons why he must win. The most important thing is that for the sake of his dream, he chose to persevere and choose a career, but he did not come for failure.
Seattle Seahawks, I'm coming.
Lu Ke couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, and his whole body was full of high fighting spirit.
Looking at Lu Ke's side face, Logan and Marcus exchanged glances, and both of them began to rub their hands: Tonight, is Bloody Spotter going online?
The team bus stopped in front of the stadium passage and the players got out of the bus and entered the stadium. The raging wind sent a raging cry of condemnation, "Get out of here! I don't care about you! I don't care about you! ”
Even if there is no roll call, but the target is very obvious, looking at the back of Lu Ke moving forward resolutely, Logan couldn't help it first, raised his middle finger, and scolded, "Get out!" Grass! Have you seen Bambi's game? You know the! ”
Logan is just a rookie and doesn't have any fan base. Such a provocative act suddenly triggered an even more ferocious curse, and Aldon Smith happened to pass by and grabbed Logan's impulsive figure.
Then, Aldon yelled at the fans, "You should be ashamed, we need your support, those curses, the other half of the stadium is enough." After shouting, Aldon didn't look back, pulled Logan and left.
As the team's first-round pick this year, Aldon still has a lot of supporters. His words suddenly stunned the fans, and the cursing gradually became quieter.
Entering the passage of the court, the reporters standing on both sides stretched out their microphones one after another, scrambling to ask questions, "Lu Ke, how do you feel as the first Chinese quarterback to start?" "Lu Ke, are you confident in tonight's game? "Now that the questioning continues, do you have anything you would like to respond to?" ”……
The figure of the reporter is really too turbulent, and the footsteps of the players are involuntarily affected, among the disturbing questions, one of them has attracted Lu Ke's attention:
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he didn't have any impression of you in rookie camp, and obviously there are more good players in this year's rookie than you. What are your thoughts on this? ”
According to the rules of the league, in order to avoid affecting the competitive status of the players, it is possible not to participate in the interview before the game; But the interview after the game was a requirement.
But Lu Ke stopped, took the initiative to look back, looked for the source of the voice just now in the crowd, and then showed a smile, "Maybe you can remind Mr. Carroll, the Chinese player, this keyword should be able to awaken all his memories." I think he has made enough positions for Chinese players, at least, he shouldn't forget. ”
Although it is not explicitly stated, the subtext is obvious: Pete Carroll knows Lu Ke, and has some unpleasant memories because of his "Chinese" identity.
The entire league is questioning the ability of the "Chinese" quarterback, and Pitt is clearly not alone; However, now that the person concerned has directly mentioned it in this way, under the guidance of political correctness, the reporters naturally can't say anything, but the next fanning is bound to be no less.
If the Seattle Seahawks win the game today, they might be able to create a splash in the post-game news interview.
"So, do you have anything to say about today's game?" The reporter asked again.
Lu Ke showed a big smile, "I hope they have found the quarterback they need." ”
It's useless to say more, see the truth on the field. The winner is king, the loser is the loser, the world of competitive sports, so simple, but also so cruel.
Immediately, another question came to his ears again, which made Lu Ke cast his eyes, "Excuse me, in this afternoon's game, will you pass the ball in the direction of Richard Sherman?" ”
Lu Ke's footsteps paused slightly, and the funny expression on his face lingered.
Richard Sherman? The haunted Richard Sherman? Why did he take the initiative to mention himself again? Lu Ke almost wondered if this guy had a crush on him, there was no intersection or conflict between them, but he always held on to himself, what was going on?
Originally, Lu Ke was going to respond, not angry, but ridiculous, and even a little funny, but Kip's footsteps came up from behind and patted Lu Ke on the shoulder, "Go into the locker room, and then be interviewed after the game." "Before the game, try to avoid confrontation with reporters, especially inexperienced rookie players, whose emotions can easily be provoked by reporters, and then affect the state of the game.
So, Lu Ke could only swallow the words and follow his teammates into the locker room.
"Ding", in the midst of a noisy and noisy discussion, the sound in my head is still so clear and accurate, through all the noise, and it rings directly in the depths of my mind accurately, as if a torch has been lit.
"Tournament Mission", after a long absence, in addition to the daily training task, the Tournament Quest has reappeared.
As the starting quarterback, as he was about to play the first game of his career, the realism was clearer than ever. Interestingly, this was Lu Ke's first official starting game in college, skipping the NCAA and accomplishing such a feat directly in the NFL, which was a special starting point.
"Make the first pass in the middle of the game; Requirements: None; Reward: +1 Base Points.
Score your first touchdown in an official match; Requirements: None; Reward: +1 Base Points.

This is the first game of Lu Ke's career, and the tasks are still numerous, and the challenges are still severe; Fortunately, there is still no penalty for failure in the game mission, but for Lu Ke, victory is his only option, and he will go all out to win.
