Patrick Willis met defensive coach Vic Fangio in a sneak pick, and both men had surprises in their eyes, completely unexpectedly seeing each other here.

Fangio spoke first, "Why are you here?" Wouldn't Julie be angry? When it comes to a holiday, she definitely wants you to be at home with the kids. ”

Julie, that's Willis's wife.

Willis shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I had nothing to do at home all day yesterday, and Julie felt that I was in a bad state and kicked me out, thinking that I would affect my children's learning at home. ”

As a league veteran, I've long been accustomed to losing, and haven't the San Francisco 49ers lost enough games over the years? But this time, the situation was slightly different, he could feel the low pressure within the team, and the unwillingness always lingered; Even when I stayed at home, I kept thinking about the game in my head.

His wife noticed his absent-mindedness and "kicked out" him.

"What about you?" Willis asked rhetorically.

Fangio let out a long breath, "Studying the footage of the game, it's not just the attacking team, but also the defensive efficiency of our game against Joe Flaco. Jim came to the training base yesterday and I came over today to have a meeting with him to discuss it. "The defensive group isn't the San Francisco 49ers' strong suit, but they can't win games without their help.

Obviously, this factory profit, or rather, this time two consecutive defeats, the impact on the team is far beyond imagination∴ in fact, this is actually a good thing, because everyone is full of desire to win and cannot tolerate the impact of defeat.

Willis and Fangio exchanged glances, then walked back and forth toward the training ground.

From afar, they saw several colleagues standing at the gate of the training ground, offensive coach Craig Roman, quarterback coach Kip Kleist, offensive forward coach Mike Solari and Tim Dreynor, a group of people bustling in place, but not entering, looking like they were watching the excitement.

"What's wrong?" Fangio stepped forward and asked, but he didn't need to answer, his eyes ripped towards the training, and then with a stunned face, he reflexively turned his head to look at Willis, "Do you know about this?" ”

Willis didn't know why, but he followed closely, and then he saw the scene on the training bank:

About 20 people are scattered in different positions on the training ground, the ghost is slowly warming up, the ghost is undergoing impact training, the ghost is carrying out auxiliary training in pairs, the whole training ground is in full swing, lively, that vibrant scene, even more wonderful than the cold winter sun in the early morning.

More than 20 players, only less than half of the team's 53-person squad, this is still not plus the number of sparring players, on the huge training banknote, it looks a little stretched, but every corner of the vision banner is stuffed, and the surging atmosphere is coming, even if you stand outside the training banknote, you can feel it.

It's Saturday, the team's official rest day.

There is still a long time before the next game, and for the coaching staff, what they are most worried about is the players' rebuke, not to mention major accidents, even if it is just casual drinking, wanton parties, and not following the rules and regulations of the regular season, which will affect the state of the game afterwards, which is enough to cause headaches.

But who would have thought that the players not only did not indulge and relax, but also spontaneously came to the training base and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to training. Such a scene is surprising and even more moving.

Willis opened his mouth slightly, trying to say something, but couldn't say a word.

It's been five seasons since he's been in the league, but to be honest, he's never seen anything like it, he's never felt so focused, so engaged, and that desire to win and the norm for his career has been an eye-opener.

"I don't know." Willis spread his hands, as the captain of the defensive team, he had never heard of today's training, and on the ball note, he could see a lot of defensive players, Colin Jones, Reggie Smith, Navoro Bowman was so surprised, he couldn't help but sway again, "I uh, I don't know, really, I don't know." ”

Willis and Fangio's eyes were on the training ground again, the team in front of them, so familiar and yet so unfamiliar.

Defensive forward coach Mike Solari said, "I just asked the doorman, and he said that the first person to arrive at the training ground today was Lu Ke, and it seems that he showed up around five o'clock. ”

"It's not unexpected." Craig Roman said casually, he had long been accustomed to Lu Ke's diligence, "But this, what's going on with this?" "Lu Ke appeared, this is normal; But what about the other players? What's going on here?

However, no one could give an answer, not even Willis.

Two days ago, after losing the game, the atmosphere within the whole team was terrible, not to mention the fury in Lu Que's locker room, and then the silence on the plane was so tense that it was almost suffocating, and they even avoided each other's eyes, let alone talked. Everyone brings earplugs to keep all distractions out and immerse themselves in their own world.

But two days later, there was a happy scene on the training base again, what happened?

"I'm not surprised." Kip suddenly spoke up, and all eyes were focused, "Have you heard of an interesting story?" During training camp before the start of his senior season, Bambi got into a physical altercation with the team's backup quarterback, which angered the coach. ”

"Because Bambi is like a madman, he usually trains simply, but he goes all out like the last offense of the Super Bowl. In the eyes of those main sulfur players, Bambi is a psychopath, showing off his diligence and dedication all the time, which not only makes the main sulfur uncomfortable, but also the other sparring players are not pleasing to the eye, because the coaches are always praising Bambi, causing other sparring partners to work harder. ”

Kip's words echoed softly, and everyone couldn't help but look at the training ground again, and their eyes fell on Lu Ke ♀, who was concentrating on collision training, which was not the daily training of the quarterback, but in order to avoid collisions, and to better protect himself in the grappling, the quarterback would also be required to participate in part of the training.

The scene in front of him reminded people of the nine sacks in the last game. Everyone thought that Lu Ke, who was physically weak, was bound to suffer injuries, but in fact, he didn't realize that Lu Ke's physical fitness had also grown slowly and productively.

This is the cliff show, the cliff show that has been criticized countless times, but it has grown up step by step under their noses. Looking back at the last few months of training, they know that none of this came out of nowhere.

Kip didn't go any further, starting and ending without a head, but it seemed like the answer came to the fore.

All along, Lu has worked tirelessly and unremittingly to integrate into the team little by little in his own way.

In the face of doubts and provocations, actions are always one step ahead of words, and training is always more important than conflict.

In the face of failure, in the face of setbacks, he is always the one who refuses to give up and refuses to compromise, whether it is training or competition.

Twelve weeks into the regular season, the locker room has changed dramatically, but after Thursday night's game, that was Lu Ke's first complaint, first accusation, first anger, and first loss of control. He has always led by example, proved himself with practical actions, and led this team to victory step by step.

After losing the game with three interceptions, Lu Yi dared to take responsibility often, and in the interview with reporters, he took all the blame on his shoulders, refused to blame his teammates, and said that he must continue to work hard and continue to learn.

After nine killings and a crushing defeat, Lu didn't lash out — at least not in front of reporters, he just said sincerely that no one likes to fail, and that they must study the factory profit well, and get up from where they fall.

After two consecutive defeats, the most pressure on the entire team is not Jim Hubble, but Lu Ke.

Because he is a Chinese player, because he is a cliff show, because his resume is really too thin, he is like a natural scapegoat, and all the mistakes can be easily pushed to him.

However, the first one to stand up again, face defeat, and set off again was still Lu Ke.

There is one word to describe such a player: leader.

A true team leader, with his own practical actions and his own spiritual strength, leads the team step by step out of the quagmire and back on track.

Willis suddenly laughed and didn't come. He now finally knew what was going on with his uneasiness and apprehension, and now, he had finally found a reason to be in the league even after five years of tossing and turning.

The immediate training punishment is the answer.

Without speaking, Willis turned and walked away, and Fangio noticed his movement and raised his voice to ask, "Patrick?" Where are you going? ”

"Locker room. Training. Willis didn't look back, but simply replied⊥ even those little players have already started training, and as the captain of the defensive team, he must also speed up, otherwise, the progress will not be able to catch up."

In the next game, they are not going for three consecutive defeats, victory, this is their only pursuit.

The coaches standing in place looked at each other, and an indescribable mood stirred in their chests, especially the two offensive forward coaches, whose smiles couldn't help but be a little bitter.

"How? Shouldn't we get to work too? Otherwise, the tactical meeting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I think I might be soft-mouthed. Kip said with a smile.

Solari was the first to respond, "What are you waiting for?" Let's go! We're going to have to work hard, too. ”
