As the snowflakes fell, the air seemed to soften, and everyone was oblivious to enjoying the first light snow in thirty-five years; But before lunch time was over, the snowflakes had already stopped, and the sky was drizzling, and then the snowflakes on the streets melted into the rain, and the air began to become bitter little by little.

It seems that the temperature is still the familiar number, five degrees Celsius, six degrees Celsius, but the temperature has dropped by a notch, and a cold gust of wind blows, a large goosebump appeared on the surface of the skin, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Ahh

"Bambi?" There was a call from the side, Lu Ke reflexively turned his head, but before he could see the other party's face, he felt that his nose was uncomfortable again, and he quickly turned his head and looked at the open space next to him, and the second time, he sneezed "Ah", and then rubbed his nose, as if he could feel some nasal water.

"Haha, Bambi." The joking came to my ears, and it was Joe Stanley on the offensive frontline, "This little snowflake is excited like this, then if you go to Michigan in the winter, you should be eager to go out and party, the whole lake can freeze, and then the thick snow can make you roll in it." ”

The majority of the San Francisco 49ers' roster is from the South, and snowflakes are a relative rarity for them. So, just now in the parking lot, not only Logan and Marcus and others, but also other players who were born and raised in the South also joined in the carnival, and this snowball fight later stretched all the way to the training ground, and all the thin snow on the eaves was used to fight-

The most exaggerated thing is that even a little snow on the garbage can is not spared.

Despite this, there are a small number of players in the squad who come from the north, and they are not surprised by the snow.

Tarell-Bron, from New York, for example, has even experienced snowstorms that cut off electricity and water throughout the city, leaving everyone trapped in their homes to survive. Not to mention enjoyment, he can be said to hate snow.

One of them is Stanley, who lives in northern Michigan and is covered in ice every winter.

Today, under the contagious atmosphere of the whole team, they can't help but join in, not so much enjoying the snow as enjoying the atmosphere.

"It's okay to roll, I'm not a fighting nation, I'm wearing a pair of little shorts to have fun in the snow." Before he could speak, Lu Ke sneezed for the third time, and his embarrassed appearance made everyone around laugh.

"Bambi, are you okay?" Kip-Kleist, who was not far away, walked over and asked with concern, "God, you don't have a cold, do you?" ”

Even rugby players, they are ordinary people, they get injured and sick all the same. And when they catch a cold, they will also be dizzy and unable to clear their thoughts. These are inevitable. But it doesn't bode well for an important match.

Lu Ke waved his hand and denied it, "It's not that exaggerated. But the current temperature is really not adaptable, and the muscles are tighter. I'll start warming up early and open my body. ”

The New England Patriots are located in the small town of Fort Fox, Massachusetts, and their home team stadium is also known as the league's most famous devil's home court. A big part of this is due to the cold, especially in January after the playoffs, which creates a natural barrier for teams playing away from home.

The weather is also part of the game, and it is a part that cannot be ignored.

But the problem is that today is San Francisco's home stadium, and it turns out that Candlestick Field has a light snow, the first snow in 35 years, and the home field advantage seems to have disappeared in an instant, because Pittsburgh, on the East Coast, snows almost every year, and it is much thicker and bigger than today.

Kip walked up, motioned for Lu Ke to stand up straight, stretched out his arms, and then he clenched his fists and rhythmically beat Lu Ke's arms, and began to activate his muscles, "Slow down the progress of the warm-up today, don't be in a hurry to get on the strength, don't be in a hurry to train with the ball, make sure the muscles are relaxed, and then start." Otherwise, it is easy to strain. ”

Today was a game that was in high demand, and there was no room for error; Now, even the weather at home doesn't help, and it seems that the balance of victory is tipping little by little.

However, the home fans don't think so.

……

The stadium bus left the training ground and slowly drove towards the Candlestick Stadium on the other side of the Candlestick Park, and just after leaving the parking lot, you could see a meandering red river flowing along the main road of the park, pointing the way to the Candlestick Stadium.

The big red river is not turbulent, but unhurried and unhurried, and when you notice the approaching team bus behind you, the gentle stream swells in both directions, making way for the bus to pass by, and then carefully closing it, the quiet and flowing picture is like a vibrant oil paint, which is thrillingly beautiful.

Through the car window, you can clearly see the excited faces on both sides, the cheeks that are red from the cold wind are full of excitement and publicity, all of them are excitedly waving the support towels in their hands, constantly slapping the team bus, making a "bang" earth-shattering sound, and then feverishly towards the bus window, shouting the names of the players in sight.

Lu Ke once witnessed 70,000 red seas in the Candlestick Stadium, roaring and stirring, bursting out with monstrous momentum, and even the blue sky was dyed a bright red; But today's Candlestick Park is even more magnificent, with the blood-colored red river meandering and flowing, completely igniting every corner of the sight, as if the cold wave and light snow of the teeth and claws have completely melted into this wave of enthusiasm.

Getting closer and closer to the players' tunnel, the countless red tributaries gradually converged, and then the earth-shattering shouts of support were sent from the violent wind, "We are!" Warrior! We are! Nine people! ”

One wave, one wave, one wave; One wave, higher than another.

In addition to red, it was still red, the red all over the sky, and even the white snow that ignited the enthusiasm of the whole city today lost its color at this moment, and there was no Steelers away fans at all, they seemed to have been completely swallowed up in this vast sea of red.

After the game, according to the official data of the San Francisco 49ers, the Candlestick Park welcomed more than 103,900 fans, in addition to the 70,000 fans who entered the stadium to watch the game, there were more than 30,000 fans all eagerly waiting outside the stadium, watching the live game broadcast in real time through the big screen, and really feeling the sound of the heart beating at the scene.

This is the most crowded race at Candelabra Park since January 3, 1999.

At that time, Steve Young, a generation legend of the San Francisco 49ers, led the team to the playoffs, and in the first round, they hosted the visiting Green Bay Packers, which attracted more than 110,000 fans to the scene, and in the end, they defeated their opponents with a score of "30-27" and advanced to the second round with their heads held high.

Unfortunately, they lost to the Atlanta Falcons by two points in the second round.

That was the last glory of the San Francisco 49ers, and after that, they fell into a long slump.

First, Steve Young missed the entire season due to a concussion after only three games in the following season, and was finally forced to retire by the team; Then the team was in a state of long-term leaderless chaos, unable to find the next leader, and the quarterback position came and went.

Today, Candelabra Park is once again feeling its former glory!

After all, the team bus slowly stopped, and the players began to get off the bus one after another, and Lu Ke was left last. After drawing on the lessons of the last time at the airport, the team has now consciously begun to make arrangements, and in order to avoid more riots, it is more appropriate to leave Lu Ke at the end.

When Lu Ke's feet stood on the ground, and then he saw the fans on both sides in an orderly manner, all of them raised their left or right hands high, looking at Lu Ke expectantly, the excited faces, the pairs of hopeful eyes, the cold winter and Xiao Suo were all blocked, and the rolling heat wave was coming.

"Bambi!"

The first fan on the right hand side began to shout, and gestured to his right hand high, Lu Ke reflexively slapped the opponent's palm with his right hand, high-fived Xiangqing, and then everyone boiled. So, Lu Ke raised his hands and trotted all the way forward, and the red waves on both sides began to roll and surge with his footsteps.

Spectacular!

When Lu Ke was the last to enter the players' tunnel, the crowd behind him erupted into a tsunami-like roar, "Victory!" Victory! Victory! The shouts, like war songs, piled up layer upon layer, and then overflowed with catharsis, bursting out with a powerful belief that had never been seen before:

A firm belief in victory, in battle, in the future!

It's a hard-fought race, it's an unprecedented challenge, it's a life-and-death showdown!

However, 49 people did not waver and question in the slightest, nor did they have the slightest timidity and fear, they stood unswervingly behind the team, waved the flag and shouted, and became the biggest backing for the team to go to the battlefield! At this moment, each of them is 49 people, and each of them is part of this team, and they are moving forward side by side for victory!

Go against the current, move forward bravely, and the momentum is like a bamboo!

This is a war, then, they will fight to the end! Fight until every drop of blood is burned!
