"Pares! Pares! Pares! ”

The deafening, revolting roars of support surged in the thick night; The raging wind swept in, tearing the sound into countless pieces, but it still couldn't stop the heat in the streets, and all the players were jumping in excitement, and the ghosts and wolves howled and heckled collectively.

In the midst of all the attention, Willis and others simply took off their clothes and ran back and forth on the street heroically, and all the other players took out their mobile phones to record this historic moment with video and photo functions, and the deserted street was like the red carpet of a movie premiere.

Now, Parres is one short; So, the crowd cheered, and all the spotlight was on Parres. The result of procrastination and hesitation is that the level of attention is rising, and things are gradually showing signs of getting out of control.

In the end, Parres gritted his teeth, took off his clothes, and ran in a hurry through the streets.

Justin Smith and Navoro Bowman, two big men in the defensive team, launched a surprise sneak attack and ripped off Parres's underwear. Now the whole street was in a stir, and all kinds of roars came out, like a vast forest when spring came; At the same time, a large number of flashing lights are mixed with catharsis, as if it were daytime.

Under the surging atmosphere, Michael Crabtree, Aldon Smith and Reggie Smith also began to join in the fun, took off their clothes, and joined the ranks of Fruit Ben, and the party atmosphere finally reached a high / climax at this moment. There was no distinction between rookies and veterans, no starters and substitutes, and the whole team was in a 100 percent binge.

In the United States, with the exception of a few special bars that are open 24 hours a day, most bars have a curfew and can only stay open until 3 a.m. at the latest, after which they must close.

It's just a little bit old, and it's the time when the party atmosphere is at its most lively, and there don't seem to be so many drunks roaming the streets. But after the 49 people in San Francisco, the guests of several nearby bars came out to join in the fun, and the whole area was full of life, and the scene was truly spectacular.

"God, you're crazy." There was an exclamation in his ears, after Lu Ke finished whistling, he put down his fingers, turned his head and looked over, it was Alex Smith, Lu Ke said with a smile, "Don't say that you seem to be extremely old, college students are much crazier now." ”

Alex raised the corners of his mouth, but then he retracted and shrugged his shoulders in frustration, "It's true that I'm not young anymore. ”

"Jesus Christ." Lu Ke sighed exaggeratedly, because after drinking, the whole person's emotions seemed to be amplified, and he was not slightly drunk, but he could still feel his body slightly hot, "If I'm not mistaken, you are twenty-seven years old today?" Or twenty-six? ”

"Twenty-seven." Alex replied, then paused for a moment and couldn't help but laugh, "You don't seem to be that old when you say that. ”

"Of course. At the age of twenty-seven, this is just a new step out of society. Lu Ke said as a matter of course, "For quarterbacks, shouldn't the golden age be around thirty years old?" You should look at the Peyton Manning and Drew Bliss game, God, sometimes I feel like they're even younger than me. ”

Alex couldn't help but freeze in place, the words paused, tonight's dullness, depression and loss welled up in his heart, since the airport witnessed the support of the fans, his mood has been an indescribable loneliness, even if it is to drink to kill the sorrow. "Were you worried about losing your starting position?"

"Of course." Lu Ke said calmly, "Tonight is no exception. We lost the game, and while I was confident in my play, as an undrafted rookie, and as an undrafted rookie with no reference data, I was dangling on a tightrope every step I made. So, yes, I'm worried about losing my starting position. ”

Such an honest answer, which Alex did not expect, "But ......" But Lu Ke didn't look affected at all tonight, and his confident and calm appearance always made people envious.

"But worrying won't solve the problem." Lu Ke took over the conversation, "If you lose the starting position this week, it means that the coaching staff has better options; So all I need to do is put my heart and soul into training, improve myself and win the coach's approval again, and I believe I can win the starting position again. ”

The words full of confidence carried strong firmness and vigor, but the words paused for a moment, and Lu Ke added, "One day." This seemed to be a sign of lack of confidence, Alex couldn't help but laugh.

The smile paused for a moment as Alex sank into his own thoughts.

At the age of twenty-seven, he is only twenty-seven years old, and he has only spent a third or even a quarter of his career, and there is still an incomparably long road ahead for him.

Aaron Rodgers, who was drafted the same year, has become one of the four elite quarterbacks and won the Super Bowl; But, so what? He also has his own career, and he is moving forward one step at a time. It's too early to sink or give up, far too early.

He should get back on his feet, get down to the ground, do everything he can to get back into the starting lineup, earn his own recognition for his quality, and if not with the San Francisco 49ers, there are 31 other teams in the league that still have plenty of opportunities.

When he looked at Lu Ke again, the wavering, restless irritability and dullness were slowly precipitating, Alex frowned slightly, and asked with interest, "You know, I will do my best to compete for the starting position, I won't give up easily, right?" ”

"I know." Lu Ke replied without hesitation, and then showed a confident smile, "Actually, I'm looking forward to it." Sensing Alex's puzzled gaze, Lu Ke then explained, "I mean, you are an experienced quarterback who has a different understanding of the game and tactics, and in the competition, I want to keep improving myself. I mean, of course, healthy competition. ”

As a quarterback, Alex has a unique control of the game. Fewer mistakes, controlled tempo, and avoiding risks are all his strengths; In addition, Alex's rich experience and maturity are also something that Lu Ke does not have.

Before the preseason, Jim Hubble re-signed Alex with the simple intention of using his experience to help Kaepernick grow quickly, and at the same time help Kaepernick integrate into the team's West Coast offensive system as a bond.

Tactical manual, this is the old difficulty of every rookie quarterback, if you can get the guidance of senior quarterbacks, and even hand-to-hand teaching, the growth rate of rookies will be greatly improved.

Now, in the San Francisco 49ers, the three quarterbacks of Lu Ke, Scott Tolsin and Colin Kaepernick are all rookies, and they need Alex's experience and Alex's guidance.

But alas, before the preseason, Alex was injured, Kaepernick was not able to get enough guidance, and the preseason performance was a disaster; After returning from injury, Alex only officially joined the team's joint training squad last week, and has only been back for two weeks, and has not had time to communicate more with the three rookies at present.

Alex could feel the vitality in Lu Ke's body, not only the desire for victory, but also the desire for strength and growth. As an undrafted rookie, Lu Ke has paid more sweat and hard work than anyone else, and in this regard, Alex was able to take a peek at Lu Ke's daily training just by seeing it; Outside the training ground, he couldn't imagine how much effort Lu Ke had put in.

"Training on Wednesday, we can start together if you want." Alex extended a friendly olive branch.

In the team's training, the quarterbacks are trained with the quarterbacks, on the one hand, because the training content is consistent; On the other hand, it is because they can partner with each other to carry out targeted special training, and it is through this training that the communication and inheritance between the senior quarterback and the rookie quarterback are completed.

Lu Ke's eyes lit up slightly, "No problem." In the past two months, Lu Ke's training partner has always been Scott Tolsin, due to the gap in strength, more often, Lu Ke is studying and learning by himself, and Tolsin has given some cooperation in special training.

"What's your training time?" Without superfluous politeness, Lu Ke directly cut to the topic.

Alex chuckled, "Don't be in a hurry, or I'll regret it." Lu Ke spread his hands and expressed his innocence. Alex smiled a little brighter, "Seven in the morning. Normally, I start training at 7 o'clock; However, I know you have your own training plan and pace, you just do it your own way, and we can meet at the training base at 7 o'clock. ”

"Okay." Lu Ke nodded in affirmation, "By the way, after Wednesday's recovery training, I made an appointment with Kip to watch the video of this week's games in the tactics room, do you want to join together?" ”

"Hey, two madmen." Before Alex could reply, a voice intervened and interrupted their conversation, and there was more than one, first Logan, then Marcus, then Vernon and Crabtree in a bustling crowd of people.

"You guys aren't going to talk about tactics manuals or anything like that, are you? God, you two are really bored, it's party night, party! Now it's high/high time for the party, so let's have a drink! Come on, drink! Or are we playing another gambling game, this time with a bigger bet? ”

The chattering voices were all mixed up, and it was not clear who was who, but I felt that my ears were noisy, and then Lu Ke and Alex exchanged glances, followed everyone's footsteps, and returned to the bar. The party night is still not over.
