"Eagerly awaited." Lu Ke replied with a smile, "But I firmly believe that victory still belongs to the nine." ”

Alex chuckled, "Then let's wait and see." ”

Lu Ke hesitated for a moment, exhaled lightly, and the faint sadness of parting was still inevitably misty, because Alex, but also because they had fought side by side for the whole season, at the end of the regular season, Alex chose to say goodbye, even if Pareth Harrelson left, the mood would be slightly strange-

No, Pareth Harrrelson forget it. He will raise his hands and feet to see Pares off.

"Is the transfer team confirmed?" Lu Ke opened his mouth to ask, but then added, "If it's inconvenient to disclose, then forget it, I'm just a little curious." ”

The conversation between the two was still full of politeness and politeness, and there was no way to really relax and gag.

"No, no, it's fine. There are a couple of teams in talks for the time being, and my agent is getting me a good contract, but I want to be a more competitive team. After opening the conversation, Alex was a little more relaxed, and for the past two weeks, he had been hiding from everyone, and his psychological burden was also a little heavy.

Alex exhaled softly, "For now, I'm personally leaning more towards the Chiefs. They were very sincere and I was on the phone with manager Scott and their tactical system suited me better. However, my agent leaned more towards the Dolphins because they have a decent offensive team and are lacking just a quarterback. ”

In the American League, both teams are from the American League, one is the American League West and the other is the American League East.

"Is your agent serious? Are you sure, not because his studio is scheduled in Miami? Lu Ke deliberately frowned exaggeratedly, and opened his mouth to complain with a look of disgust, "Or does he have any special agreement with Bill?" ”

Alex tilted his head and replied in a pretended seriousness, "Why, you don't believe I can beat the Patriots?" But the smile on the corners of his mouth and under his eyes could not be hidden at all.

"No, of course not. How could I possibly think so? Lu Ke hurriedly raised his hands to show his innocence and joked seriously, "I just think that Bill Bilicek is an old fox, we all need to be careful, right?" ”

Miami Dolphins, part of the Midland East Region. Since the turn of the millennium, the New England Patriots have been almost dominant in the division, with the Dolphins only making the playoffs three times in 2000, 2001 and 2008.

In addition, Miami, which is sunny all year round, is a well-known gentle/gentle/rural sanatorium in the United States, where countless players have purchased their mansions and come for vacations in the off-season, so many brokerage and money management companies are stationed here.

"So, your suggestion is, choose the Chiefs?" Alex summed it up simply and crudely.

Lu Ke was instead generalized, and he was slightly stunned, "Hey, are we friends?" Why are we talking about such heavy words now? Shouldn't it be? What if your agent asks a thug to come over and break my leg? Otherwise, you'd better take a shower first? Let's pretend that this topic hasn't been carried out before? ”

The expression on his face that pretended to be stupid was really too unexpected, so that Alex was stunned, he didn't expect it at all: Lu Ke outside the court was actually such a mischievous character, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be taken for granted, and finally broke the success and laughed out loud completely.

Choosing a transfer team is a choice for every player. As a friend, you can give advice; But it's better not to mess around with teammates.

"Did you talk to Jim and Trent?" Lu Ke then asked, one is the head coach and the other is the team manager, and their planning for the team will determine the overall competitiveness of next season.

"I've met with Trent, and Jim has said hello in advance. However, the exact situation will have to wait until after the playoffs, and there will be some time before the free market opens. Alex said simply, "But maybe, we won the Super Bowl, and then I chose to stay and compete with you for the starting spot, who knows?" ”

"Always ready." Lu Ke puffed up his chest and said calmly.

Alex snapped his fingers and responded, "Then we'll see." Then, without further joking, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

After turning on the sprinklers, the crisp sound of water broke the silence in the locker room, and Alex remembered that he forgot to remind Lu Ke that no one in the team knew about it at present, and it was best not to disclose it to others casually for the time being, and everything would wait until the playoffs were over.

But after thinking about it, Lu Ke's personality was not a style of random gossip, so Alex also put his mind at ease, turned around and explained without any further moves, and his mood slowly relaxed.

Bang la, bla blah......

The sound of shower water echoed in the space of the locker room, becoming slightly lively, Lu Ke couldn't help but exhale lightly, and began to speculate in his mind, besides Alex, who else will leave the team after the end of this season?

To be precise, rookie players who are contract-bound are excluded, and every other player is possible. With the San Francisco 49ers having such a good record this season, players in key positions are bound to attract more attention, and if a team offers higher wages and conditions, and the 49ers are unable to match the offer due to the hard salary cap, then a transfer is inevitable.

That's the professional game.

Some people, after parting, go around in a big circle and will meet again; Some, after separation, stood on opposite each other's courts and reunited in a different way; There are also some people, after goodbye, they will never have the opportunity to meet again, and the fate of passing by will end.

But in the final analysis, they all stand in their own positions, fighting for their dreams and future; They all tried their best to carve out a place in history; They are all living in a hot and frenzied life, trying to prove that they once existed.

It's true in the professional arena, and it's true in life.

Turning his head in the direction of the bathroom, Lu Ke raised his voice and shouted, "Good luck!" ”

The sound of the water was still echoing, and there was no response, Lu Ke retracted his gaze, and then an empty answer came from behind him, "Thank you", which kept echoing in the sound of water.

Good luck Alex! I also wish Lu Ke good luck!

After the end of the season, the future is full of possibilities, the first season, the second season, the third season...... The beginning of each season is a new chapter, and the blank sheets of paper are still waiting to be scribbled, but they are all relatively far away; Now, they have an even more pressing future to look out for:

Playoffs.

This is true for Lu Ke, and it is also true for Alex.

It's not just to have more bargaining chips and fight for more self-worth when it comes to transfers; It's also for the glory that belongs to yourself and the players! In every game of the playoffs, they have to burn all their abilities like moths to a fire, and the slightest slack can bring disaster and ruin the efforts of the entire season.

What's more, they don't have the capital to be proud and complacent.

While the San Francisco 49ers had an excellent regular season and made the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the National League; But in the eyes of all experts, among the six playoff teams in the National League, the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions can still only be regarded as dark horses, and they are still the underdogs.

It's about strength, but it's not about strength.

Because both teams are still weak, they have returned to the playoffs after many years and lack experience; Because the main lineup dominated by young players, the ups and downs of play are obvious, and there is a lack of depth. In the playoffs, there are too many variables to decide the outcome of the game.

The 49ers and the Lions want to go further, and they have only one choice: fight!

Therefore, the transfer and parting can be put aside for the time being, Lu Ke needs to take stock of his task harvest first, and before the playoffs officially arrive, complete all the points stacked for the last time, arm himself, fight for victory, and fight for the Super Bowl.

Why the last time? Obviously, the playoffs are not over yet, and Lu Ke still has a chance to gain points, but why is it the last time?

Because the playoffs are knockouts, there is only one chance every week, and if you miss it, that's the end.

He has to make every weekly appearance as if it were the last of the season, so that he can unleash all his energy and give his all without reservation, and strive for the opportunity to keep moving forward and to continue to grow. So, every week could indeed be the last extra point of the season.

The scattered thoughts gathered again, Lu Ke sat cross-legged on the bench, summoned the system, and before reading the unread information, he took the lead in opening the attribute panel and comprehensively browsed his various attribute points.

Then, Lu Ke showed a look of surprise, and couldn't help but carefully browse from beginning to end again, did not miss each sub-item, carefully checked it, and confirmed it against the attributes of the previous week, and finally came to a conclusion:

The concentrated strength training in daily training has finally lost its effect!

According to the normal law, after the end of this week's daily training, the strength training has completed another cycle, and now it is time to harvest, but in the past few cycles, each harvest is gradually decreasing, and this week there is no change, from weight to strength, from explosive power to acceleration, etc., all without any growth changes.

This also means that Lu Ke's physical growth has once again faced a bottleneck, and it can no longer be improved by relying solely on daily training, and can only be improved by the superposition of basic points.

The bottlenecks came so quickly, it was unexpected.
