741 takes a step

"Hey, Randy."

Randy Moss heard it as a matter of course, he wasn't deaf or behind his ears, and even the sounds of the show-watching inhales in the locker room were clear. He just didn't want to respond, and he didn't bother to respond.

But apparently, Moss underestimated the young quarterback's patience and bearing.

Lu Ke not only did not get angry or impatient, but also quickly calmed down and sincerely apologized.

It is worth noting that his tone is sincere and sincere enough, but he does not humble himself in a low voice, but puts both parties in an equal position, calmly faces his mistakes and mistakes, and honestly faces known problems and contradictions; And showed the sincerity to be proactive in solving problems.

That's really rare!

It's a very valuable, very rare trait for any young player, for any primary starting quarterback.

What's more, the quarterback has written countless historical records in his rookie season and repelled strong opponents in the first game of the new season.

Moss has been in the league for thirteen years, he's met countless quarterbacks, and he's worked with one of the best quarterbacks, Tom Brady, for three and a half years, and he knows exactly what a special position a quarterback is.

They enjoy endless scenery, they carry countless pressures, and more importantly, most of them are proud of heaven and have their eyes above the top-

can accept the aura of victory, but it is difficult to bear the pain of defeat; You can be a hero of victory, but you can't be a sinner of defeat. Maybe it's okay to be in front of the media and the public, and be brave enough to take on the responsibility of leadership; But in the face of teammates, it is often difficult to really lower one's posture. Admitting mistakes is never easy.

Moss couldn't help but think back to the whole process and many details of today's game. He admits that once again, the quarterback has brought an unexpected surprise, and that he is a fun guy. But...... He still doesn't like it, at most he doesn't hate it.

He's thirty-five years old, and he's almost a grandfather-level player for the wide receiver position, and he chose to come back after a year of retirement, definitely not to make new friends. He had no interest, no time, and no energy.

"Randy, I'm sorry, my performance during the first quarter of the game today was irrational and incorrect, and I owe you an apology."

The air was silent for a moment, Moss threw the helmet in his hand to the ground, finally stood up, turned to face Lu Ke, his dark face still had an unruly look, and looked at Lu Ke in front of him-

The two men were almost exactly the same height and size, slender and well-proportioned, strong and thin.

"We're all here to win." Moss didn't apologize because he didn't think he had done wrong, he wouldn't apologize, and he refused to apologize, this is his personality, it's been like this all his life, it hasn't changed, and it won't change, but he still responded in an indirect way, saying that he accepted Lu Ke's overtures.

After a pause, he stared at Lu Ke's black and white eyes, sincere and calm, and met Moss's gaze with dignity.

After a slight hesitation in his mind, Moss finally spoke, "Don't restrict my running route, I don't like it." This is the first time since joining the San Francisco 49ers, Moss and Lu Ke officially communicated.

As Lu Ke said, the conflicts and contradictions in today's game have instead become a window to open a bridge of communication. At the end of the day, they're all fighting for victory, and if it weren't for the Super Bowl, Moss wouldn't have made a comeback and wouldn't have chosen the San Francisco 49ers. Regardless of whether there are differences between them, one thing is for sure, their goals are the same.

"Strictly speaking, I don't have a running route. I understand what the manual is all about, but don't use the rigid lines of the manual to constrain my running, I need inspiration, I need intuition, I can get the run. The weapon to break down the zone defense is not a tactical manual, but a running inspiration. ”

Moss elaborated further, "You have two choices. First, choose to believe me, observe my gap, and pass the ball; Second, tell me where to pass the ball and pass it at your pace and I'll get to the position in time. That's all. ”

Lu Ke gently bowed his head and chewed carefully, but he did not say anything in agreement.

For Moss and Luke, they are both trying to play their own way.

So far, the entire offensive group of the San Francisco 49ers has gradually been branded as belonging to Lu Ke, according to the existing resources in his hands, Lu Ke is forming his own style of play, Moss's addition seems out of place, at a loss, today's game process and results have proved a point.

But Lu Ke must also admit that Moss's words are partially reasonable, his talent and ability are undoubtedly a sharp blade to tear through the regional defense, if you want to give full play to Moss's power, then Lu Ke must understand the correct way to use it. In this relationship, they also need to run in with each other.

"It seems that in the next training matches, we should cultivate more tacit understanding." There was no affirmation or denial, Lu Ke just stated an objective fact.

In the past few months, on the one hand, Moss has just joined the team and is adapting to Hubble's tactical system; On the other hand, the intensity of the confrontation in ordinary training is limited after all, and it is more of a drill of tactical manuals, which also makes Lu Ke and Moss never really complete further run-in in actual combat, and are always in the stage of exploring each other.

The problems that were initially exposed in the preseason were even more revealed in the special atmosphere of this year's game, which led to the quarrel between Lu Ke and Moss.

Now, as Lu Ke said, they still have a lot of work to complete in the next training.

Moss nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and sat down again, and began to get busy, just leaving Lu Ke behind him.

Lu Ke didn't care, he also turned around, and then saw Brooks with a confused look, spread his hands, and seemed to ask, "How did you talk?" What the hell is going on now? Why can't I read it? ”

Brooks's movements were extremely exaggerated, coupled with the expression of constantly squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes, full of funny joy, which made the corners of Lu Ke's mouth can't help but rise, shrugged his shoulders, and said that he didn't quite understand the situation, Shi Shiran walked over, and then patted Brooks's shoulder, and his footsteps did not stop.

Then, Lu Ke could see that the other teammates in the locker room all gave a thumbs up, expressing deep admiration and admiration - including Vernon Davis, no one in the team has been able to break through Moss's ice wall at present, although Lu Ke has not been able to break through it today, but at least he has taken the first step.

Lu Ke was not shy, he raised the thumbs of his two hands, deliberately made a triumphant expression, and pointed his thumb at himself, as if to say: I am the king!

The pantomime-style exchange, in the silence of the locker room, created an even more hilarious sense of joy, and everyone pursed their mouths vigorously, trying their best not to burst into laughter.

Vaguely, Moss had a strange feeling, reflexively turned his head quickly, and then captured a pantomime scene, and the funny appearance was really speechless. The corners of his mouth twitched.

Brooks slowed down by half a beat, caught up, grabbed Lu Ke's shoulder, and was about to ask in detail what was going on-

A loud "bang" exploded, the door of the locker room was rudely slammed open, and Aldon Smith and Michael Crabtree were twisting their butts, raising their hands, singing and dancing into the locker room, the noisy noise and exaggerated movements instantly broke the silence and silence in the room, and the slowly falling temperature began to boil again.

All the players looked at Moss in unison, but only saw the back of Moss standing up and going to the bathroom, so everyone instantly lifted the seal and began to be lively again.

Lu Ke turned his head and looked at Brooks, "Hey, Ahmed, I think I should start watching the footage of the New England Patriots." ”

"What? Right now? "Brooks doesn't know why, it's early in the season against the New England Patriots.

Lu Ke chuckled, "Not for the showdown, but for Randy Moss." I thought I should have watched the 2007 England footage to see how he broke through, and how Brady and Bilicek used that attack, and I was a little embarrassed to say it, but ...... This is only my second season. ”

The last sentence was clearly a self-deprecation, and Brooks couldn't help but laugh.

The lack of experience has once again become Lu Ke's shortcoming.

For players with different styles and types of receivers, he doesn't know how to cooperate, and it is more based on the tactical manual; Of course, it can also be said in another way that the current Lu Ke knows how to work with role players, but he doesn't know how to work with talented players-

As for talented players like Crabtree and Vernon, they were embedded in Hubble's tactical system from the start. This is also the first system that Lu Ke came into contact with when he entered the alliance, and it is always easier to start from scratch.

study, training; Train, learn. This is what Lu Ke needs to do now.

Although he didn't say much, Brooks immediately understood, there was obviously a little consensus between Lu Ke and Moss, and it was a good thing for the team, not only did no conflict break out, but it was also one step closer to resolving the conflict, "God, are you sure this is just your second season?" I thought it was your twelfth season. ”

Lu Ke spread his hands and said with a calm expression, "Who knows? Maybe you're right. ”
