1425 Hold your head high

Looking through the window of the team bus, the boundless sea of red spreads out mightily, enclosing the entire Candlestick Park.

Aldon-Smith's mood was slightly nervous.

It's obviously not the first time Aldon has experienced such a scene, and they have seen it in almost every home game in the past two seasons, from the thrill of the sea of red to the dazzling of the sea of gold, the bright colors have become the most brilliant light of the stadium.

Today, however, it seems to be a little different.

It's not because he's back in the starting line-up – he's still a substitute for this game, the coaching staff have seen what he's doing on the training pitch, it's still not enough, it's only been Thursday and Friday at the moment; It's because ...... He couldn't say exactly why.

I just felt as if he had truly become a nine.

It's a bit strange to say this, because he is a player of the San Francisco 49ers, from beginning to end, after experiencing the rapid rise of his rookie season and the full-blown explosion of his sophomore season, and experiencing the shock and moving of the golden ocean, he has always been a member of the team, and he has reached the top with a winning record under the leadership of Lu Ke. He's been through all of that, he's been through it and he's been a big part of the team.

However, today's feeling is something I have never had before, as if I ...... It was as if the heat and heat could be clearly felt in the blood, because it was so turbulent that the heart began to tremble slightly, and no words could describe how he really felt, and then a word came to mind, the most appropriate and perfect word, "nine people".

Yes, he is a nine. That's all, and that's enough.

Now, Aldon's emotions are still a little mixed and shallow, he can't completely tell, he is not sure what is happening to him, and he can't predict what will happen in the future, vaguely, he turned his eyes to the back of the man wearing the number 14 jersey.

Everything seems to have started with the roar and roar of that night, and gradually changed. He is still full of confusion and confusion, but as long as he follows that figure and goes on step by step, maybe one day in the future, he can find the answer, and he can also find his true place in the alliance.

"Aldon? What are you still doing? Advance! A voice came from behind him, interrupting Aldon's thoughts, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

Instead of going straight inside the stadium, the San Francisco 49ers' team bus stopped at the door of the menorah players, just like on the first day of the offseason's return to mandatory training camp, where the players entered the stadium in turn to receive cheers and support from the fans.

It's just that today the situation is slightly different.

The nine people on either side of the aisle did not scream or shout, and all the fans present were all wearing the San Francisco 49ers' home red jerseys, holding red scarves in their hands, on the heart of their chests, watching every player in the stadium with perseverance and passion, concentration and madness.

The red sea was so tranquil and so peaceful, like a sleeping ocean, the gentle waves gently rippling in the breeze, and the beauty of the silence was intoxicating; But the excitement and excitement that flows beneath the calm surface are faintly surging, with the purest and most simple faith, standing firmly by the side of the players - fighting side by side!

That quiet and solemn power completely burst out in the dazzling red, deeply touching every San Francisco 49ers player.

Even players like Ankuang Boulding, who has just joined the team this season, can't help but have a slight heat in their eyes at this time, and that closely connected bond firmly connects players and fans, teams and cities, no matter what difficulties, no matter what hardships, they will always have the strongest and most solid backing.

Aldon looked at Lu Ke's back walking in front of him, his slender and well-proportioned figure stiffened and straightened up, and he took a stride forward, each step so firm and so powerful.

Unconsciously, Aldon also quietly opened his shoulders, straightened his waist, took a step with his head held high, and met the scorching gaze of the audience in a dignified manner, the No. 99 jersey on his body began to become heavy, and the team crest, which never seemed to have any meaning, began to heat slightly, and an invisible responsibility was pressed on his shoulders in layers, but it also forced him to stand firmer and harder to puff up his chest.

Even if it is to live up to this trust, he can't bend his spine.

Aldon gritted his teeth, hard, hard, and hard, and that unprecedented feeling was gurgling in his chest, and for the first time in his not long but not short career, he felt the strength of the team, sincerely, definitely not as simple as a slogan or a roar.

He's a nine, and he's glad for it.

As it turned out, this was destined to be a maverick game in the history of the NFL, and aside from the process and results, it was unique from the pre-game welcome ceremony.

Nine people welcomed all the players of the San Francisco 49ers in a solemn and solemn way, combined with the pre-game social media craze, the sense of history slowly penetrated, not only the long and long history of the team, but also the precipitation and heritage of the fans after the magnificent experience:

They will never be afraid of any difficulties.

Then, the nine welcomed the Seattle Seahawks team bus in the same way. There was no roar, no cursing, no confrontation, and the whole audience performed the attention salute, but the scorching gaze clearly conveyed the turbulence and heat of the red sea, and the pressure created invisibly was simply a torture.

Every journalist who arrived at the scene could testify that the indescribable pressure was even more terrible than the overwhelming cheers and curses, and the power of silence erupted little by little in the vast and magnificent sea of red, which was enough to make the mentally weak begin to weaken their knees, and they could not even stand on their feet.

It is rumored that after the Seattle Seahawks players entered, many people scolded in the locker room, but they just took the other party without a problem, so mental torture is simply a new trick!

Twelve people have their own way of supporting, as evidenced by the Guinness Book of Records for volume repeatedly broken at the Century Chain Stadium.

And the nine people also have their own way of supporting, and Candlestick Stadium is still the home of the devil in the entire league-

After the game, the major news media reported the grand occasion of the scene, and the pictures and words could only describe one-tenth of the atmosphere of the scene, but it still made many players frightened, and they hurriedly said: They are absolutely unwilling to face such a home field, which can be called torture!

The side also proves once again: the sworn enemy in the same area has never let go of the possibility of the opponent! If you don't die, you don't die!

……

Standing in the locker room, the San Francisco 49ers were ready to appear, and all eyes were projected towards Lu Ke.

Lu Ke took a deep breath, "We are facing the strongest opponent this season, the pre-match interview is all the truth, respect for the opponent is respect for yourself, only if you are truly aware of the strength of the two sides, can you be in the right position in the game." The opponent on the other side of the pitch, although I hate them to the core, it doesn't affect my recognition of their quality in the slightest, we don't need to kid ourselves, they are the stronger team. ”

It's the truth!

"But the strength of the opponent does not mean that we show weakness, let alone give up!" Lu Kedi's voice gradually rose, "We are still the same team, the team that will never be easily defeated even in the face of a strong opponent!" Since last season, we are the dogs, we are the dark horses, and no one is optimistic about us! But we went one step at a time and became the defending champions of the season! ”

"Let me tell you, there's nothing more exciting and blissful than beating a strong opponent! Only by constantly challenging the limits can we continue to improve ourselves! The stronger the opponent, the better the whetstone! Now, such an opportunity has come to us again! I'm going to give it my all! I want to play to my heart's content! I'm going against the current! I'm going to step on my opponent's corpse and head towards the playoffs! Because we are warriors! And even more because we're nine! ”

"I'm ready! We have waited too long for today! So now, what should we do? Lu Ke clenched his fists and roared wildly at his teammates in front of him.

"Fight!" Alton responded with a hoarse roar, and that enthusiasm and passion were unreservedly released.

"Fight!" Lu Ke also shouted frantically with Aldon, slammed the door of the locker with his right fist, and then raised his fist high and shouted loudly, "Let's fight together!" ”

After speaking, Lu Ke took the lead in turning around, shouting "fight", and ran out of the field.

The San Francisco 49ers followed suit, chanting "fight" as much as they could, clenching their fists and rushing out of the court.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

It's a fight! A battle with no way back! There is no choice in the battle! And they are ready for a bloody battle! If this battle is destined that only one side will be able to stay until the end, then they are also ready for bayonets! Now, let's get this battle into earnest!
