Standing in the bustling crowd, there was an endless stream of players who came to congratulate him, and Lu Ke, who was in it, was a little blindsided.

Usually, during training and on the court, Lu Ke looks mature, strategic, calm and calm; But no one should forget that in fact, Lu Ke will only turn 23 next month, and he has just graduated from college this summer, and he is still a fledgling young man, leaving the school environment and entering the professional arena, facing a new challenge.

As a Chinese, living in a foreign country, how to integrate into society, how to prove himself, and how to face challenges are the topics that Lu Ke always needs to face; As a player, standing on the court, because of his relatively thin figure, how to survive in the gaps, how to stand on the game, and how to strive for recognition are also topics that Lu Ke needs to deal with all the time.

For a long time, Lu Ke has always tried his best to win his own place, and relied on his own strength to strive for his own recognition and affirmation, whether it is in life or on the court. This is not an easy task, more often than not, Lu Ke is always a marginal figure.

Get into a professional team, be the starting quarterback, win a game, and get a foothold on the team...... Step by step, along the way, every step is extremely solid, Lu Ke never dares to relax easily, because he is not qualified, every moment of every day, he must go all out.

Now, Lu Ke has gone one step further, taking over the responsibility of the team's offensive team captain, and has come into the spotlight from the edge corner; More importantly, the trust from Goodwin, Akens and Willis, the cheers and celebrations from his teammates, that is a trust and responsibility, which falls heavily on Lu Ke's shoulders.

Lu Ke knows that the significance of the captain of the rugby team is not as important as he imagined; Despite this, the journey from a marginal figure to the captain of a team has been too long and too hard, and there are ...... It's so unfamiliar.

Standing stunned in place, Lu Ke's eyes were a little dazed, and the first reaction in his mind was, "Uh...... What do I need to do? ”

"After Sunday's game, buy three rounds of beer for the whole team in the bar." Aldon was the first to start yelling and heckling, but the other players all nodded in agreement, and even began to raise their hands in the air and shout happily, "Welcome!" Treat! Treat! ”

Looking at the teammates who were coaxing in front of him, Lu Ke couldn't help but smile dumbly, and spread his hands, "It's only three rounds?" That's all you guys are pursuing? It's really unproductive. ”

This provocation suddenly made everyone cry wolf, and they all shouted that they wanted to drink Lu Ke bankrupt, but Kip Kleist, who was standing next to him, raised his voice and said, "It's only Wednesday today, and now we will start discussing drinking?" Don't you want to get mixed up? If you don't do well at home this week, let's see if the fans will let you into the bar! ”

After such a scolding, the noise and coaxing calmed down slightly, but the teammates in the offensive group still frowned at Lu Ke and were sincerely happy for Lu Ke.

Seeing this, Kip added again, "Warm up, now that everyone is warming up, what are you doing staying where you are?" ”

At this time, the players dispersed in a hurry and began to devote themselves to today's recovery training with laughter and laughter.

finally cleared up, but Lu Ke still felt that his brain was a little cloudy, not because he was too happy, but because he was at a loss in front of him: As the captain, what should he do? His mind began to search for the figure of the former leader of the offensive team, subconsciously trying to find a reference object.

Logan still didn't leave, as a close friend, he could feel Lu Ke's dazedness, and patted Lu Ke's shoulder heavily, "Take it easy." ”

Lu Ke turned his head abruptly and looked at him with an unfocused gaze, which made Logan feel funny, the two of them have known each other for so long, it is rare to see Lu Ke look so out of shape.

So, Logan also laughed out loud without giving face at all, "Relax, relax." He patted Lu Ke's shoulder again and again, taking the opportunity to beat Lu Ke well.

Before Lu Ke realized it, Logan hurriedly withdrew his hand and pretended to be serious, "The real meaning of being a captain is to lead the team in your own way. Every captain's style is different, you don't need to feel too burdened, just stick to being yourself. How did you become our captain step by step, then continue to keep it up, leading us to win one victory after another. ”

"The problem is, I don't know." Lu Ke blinked his eyes and said in a daze, he had never encountered such a situation, so that Lu Ke's reaction speed was half a beat slower.

Logan laughed again, but this time he quickly relented, "Just be yourself." No need to change, everything is fine. After speaking, Logan sincerely gave Lu Ke a warm hug, "Believe me, you are a great leader, you just need to move at your own pace, and we are all willing to follow." ”

Then, Logan showed a big smile to Lu Ke, turned to leave, and joined the ranks of warm-up exercises.

With a long exhale, the surging emotions in his chest gradually settled down, and he regained his composure. Lu Ke has never been a personality who is afraid of challenges, change, and the unknown, and this was the case before the regular season when he was called upon to be in danger, and now he is the same when he is captain for the first time ever.

Although Lu Ke doesn't know what kind of qualities a good captain should have, he knows very well that leading by example is undoubtedly the most important first step. Not only because the captain takes on more responsibility, but also because the captain needs to lead the whole team forward.

As the captain, Lu Ke needs to be more focused on training, and he also needs to be more focused on his own progress, which is the case for basic training, and the same is true for tactical manuals. Perhaps, starting tomorrow, he should wake up earlier, increase the intensity of training, and truly lead by example, and definitely not take it lightly.

Secretly clenched his fists, Lu Ke began to cheer for himself, all the dazed and stunned, all the ecstasy and excitement, temporarily put aside, and then jogged all the way, heading towards the locker room, after taking a shower, changing a set of clothes, ready to start today's quarterback basic training.

Standing outside the training court, Parres was still a little unresponsive.

In just one offseason, why has the whole world been turned upside down into another look, he is completely unrecognizable, Lu Ke has become the captain of the offensive team, and a rookie player has become the captain of the offensive team, what does it mean?

Parres tried to refresh the memory in his mind of the 32 teams in the entire league, which team had historically appointed a rookie player as team captain, but he failed, with no clue in his head, nothing to gain. As a result, he began to panic even more, trying to say something, trying to shout something, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

Before he saw it, Pares saw Lu Ke trotting over.

There was not much expression on the young and green face, but he nodded politely in greeting; But Parres didn't react, because he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't even make the reflexive greeting on a social occasion, just froze in place with a stunned expression.

Then, Lu Ke passed by like this.

Parres felt like an idiot.

Colin Kaepernick, who was slightly two steps behind, raised his head, frowned, his eyes were sharp and solemn, and he stared at Lu Ke without the slightest relaxation. The sharp eyes are not so much high-spirited as resentful.

He doesn't accept it, he doesn't accept it at all! Disbelief from the bottom of my heart!

The reason why Lu Ke was able to serve as the team's starting quarterback was simply because he was not able to gain a foothold. As long as he is given enough time to read through the playbook and understand it well, then Lu Ke will stand aside, and he is the future of the San Francisco 49ers - otherwise, why would the team use a second-round pick and trade draft picks to select him specifically?

Now Lu Ke's starting position is no problem for the time being, that is because the victory blinded people's eyes, and with the advancement of the season, Lu Ke's shortcomings will gradually be exposed, and at that time, fans will begin to miss Alex and him. That starting position belongs to him, not Lu Ke.

But now, Lu Ke has actually gone one step further to become the captain of the offensive team. Why? Lu Ke is just an undrafted rookie, Lu Ke has only played six professional games, and Lu Ke has not even been able to complete a game before facing the Seattle Seahawks in the first week of the regular season! Why can Lu Ke become the captain of the team!

Kaepernick's gaze locked on Lu Ke, gritted his teeth, and clenched his hands into fists, because he was so hard that his body began to tremble slightly.

However, Lu Ke ran straight over like this, without stopping, without greeting, or even demonstrating - why? Shouldn't Lu Ke show off to him? Shouldn't Lu Ke show off his might and be triumphant? Why did Lu Ke pass by directly like this, could it be ...... Does Lu Ke think he doesn't deserve such treatment?

Damn it.

Lu Ke blew like a gust of wind, leaving Kaepernick standing alone, his muscles tense to the extreme, as if he was a powder keg that was about to explode.

In fact, Lu Ke didn't notice the abnormality of Parres and Kaepernick at all, and his whole mind was full of thoughts about training; Even if Lu Ke noticed, he wouldn't care, compared to these personal grievances, the most important thing now is the game in the eighth week of the regular season.

This is Lu Ke's first game after taking over as the captain of the offensive team, and it is also the first game after returning from the offseason, and there is absolutely no room for error. Lu Ke hopes that the team can still make great progress and move towards the playoffs with one victory after another!
