"This is the most important information, and at the same time the most secret. You don't want anything to go wrong. Kip stared at Lu Ke intently, and said word by word, his sharp eyes ensuring that his meaning was conveyed accurately.

There are thirty-two teams in the league, and every team is the same, and the tactical manual is their biggest secret and biggest weapon. On the court, quarterbacks need to give a variety of commands, and once these commands are understood by the opponent, there is nothing to hide from offense and defense.

Every year, the team changes and updates the tactical manual; Moreover, the tactical password is readjusted before each match. Even the playbooks of previous years are not easily publicized, and generally speaking, the playbooks of teams within the league are kept for ten years, in other words, in 2011, the 2001 playbooks of each team can only be read by outsiders.

The thick stack of tactical manuals is actually a booklet, there are about thirty booklets before and after, Lu Ke put them in his backpack and pressed them down heavily, and the weight can be felt on the whole shoulder, not only physically, but also mentally.

After four hours in the tactical conference room, Kip briefly sorted out Jim Hubble's tactical system for Lu Ke; But the playbook is only the tip of the iceberg, and there is still a long way to go. It's no wonder everyone says that it's not easy for a rookie player to adapt to the professional game, and it's even harder for a rookie quarterback.

"Bambi! Bambi! ”

Kip patted Lu Ke's shoulder, woke up Lu Ke who was in deep thought, raised his chin and gestured out of the glass door, and said with a smile, "I just joined the team, and I have already made friends here, which is a good start." ”

I looked out of sight, and at a glance I saw Logan and Marcus waving their hands vigorously, and the two of them jumped up and down excitedly, trying to attract Lu Ke's attention - obviously, they succeeded; And, some are too successful.

It was lunchtime, and the players were bustling and laughing in the direction of the base restaurant, and the crowds were so lively. Now, Logan and Marcus were shouting and jumping, and almost everyone who passed by had to tease a few words, and then looked up with a grin, looking for Lu Ke's figure.

"Can I pretend I don't know them?" Lu Ke said that it seems too late to draw a line now.

Kip laughed, "Let's go over and get to know our new teammates." First-graders have to get busy, and you look so idle right now. Maybe after lunch, the rookies will need to help clean up the table today. ”

"See you later." Lu Ke waved goodbye, but Kip suddenly remembered, and added again, "After lunch, there will be a tactical meeting first, forty-five minutes, and then the field training. ”

Lu Ke made an "OK" gesture to show that he understood, quickly left the hall on the first floor, pushed open the door, and saw his teammates in San Francisco 49ers for the first time.

At this moment, a moment is needed to break the situation. It can be a senior player or coach who takes the initiative to stand up and make an introduction; It can be a player with a detached personality and a clear personality, taking the initiative to talk and break the silence.

Then, the moment to break the situation came.

"Hey, Lu Ke!" A bright and cheerful shout exploded like an earth-shattering explosion, not only Lu Ke, but the eyes of everyone around them were projected in the direction of the source of the sound.

Not Logan and Marcus, but a completely unfamiliar face, an Asian face, short black hair, dark blue shirt, black suit pants, black briefcase, and a camera around his neck.

Reporter?

This is clearly a journalist. For professional players, dealing with journalists is also part of their job, because the league officially stipulates that after each game, players must be interviewed, otherwise they must be fined; Even the teams, they themselves have media open days.

But the problem is that today is not an open day for the media. And the fact that this journalist was able to enter the training base so openly is obviously with official permission. So, what the hell is going on?

The Asian reporter walked up quickly and stretched out his right hand with a smile, "Hello, I'm Lin Shuyuan, a reporter from the 'World Journal'. ”

Today is Lu Ke's first day of officially joining the professional league, and he is completely ignorant of the team's rules, interview routines, training day bans, etc.; But Lu Ke's four years of college time were not wasted, and he clearly knew one thing:

He's a nobody, he only signed this morning, and he was visited by reporters before lunch, which would have been absolutely impossible if it weren't for an official invitation from the team.

"Lu Ke." Politely, Lu Ke held the other party's right hand and briefly introduced himself.

At this moment, Lin Shuyuan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, the smile on his face bloomed brightly, and the whole person trembled slightly because he was too excited, "I can't believe it, you did it, you really did it." I endured it and endured it, but after all, I couldn't hold back, and the words of amazement blurted out, and I laughed heartily, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for being unprofessional." But, all this is so unreal. ”

Although as a journalist, Lin knew that he had to be objective and calm; But in the face of such a historic moment, he still inevitably lost his mind. Taking a step back, he has only been a journalist for less than a year, and he still has a lot to learn on his professional journey.

Half a year ago, a Chinese-American quarterback in the rookie training camp sparked an impressive number of topics, but after that, all the news disappeared; Half a year later, the rookie joined the San Francisco 49ers and officially signed a contract that made history as the league's first Asian player.

When the "World Journal" received the tip, its first reaction was to think that the other party was playing a prank, but after confirmation, the caller was Trent Balke, the team manager of the San Francisco 49ers, and the entire newspaper editorial office was boiling.

As Chinese immigrants living in the United States, they know better than anyone what this means. Even if it's just a substitute, it's news that shakes the league, and if one day the player is still on the field......

Lin Shuyuan became the best choice to take over the report, so he rushed over non-stop, entered the training base all the way unimpeded, and then saw the Chinese quarterback. Under the surging emotions, surging thoughts, and impassionedness, before reason realized it, Lin Shuyuan had already stepped forward and stretched out his right hand.

Lin Shuyuan's ecstasy infected Lu Ke, and even his emotions couldn't help but fly, but before Lu Ke could respond, a sharp and piercing voice sounded next to him, "Hey, hey, everyone, hurry up and take a look, there is a big star among the rookies, let's warmly welcome, Hannah-Montana (Hannah-Montana)!" ”

"Hannah Montana", a teen idol TV series that began in 2006 and aired on the Disney Channel, starring a sixteen-year-old female idol singer.

Using Hannah-Montana as a metaphor for Lu Ke, irony and contempt are obvious.

Colin Kaepernick raised his hands in the air, fanning the atmosphere of the scene, and everyone else around him began to heckle, "Roar, roar, roar", and then someone followed suit, screaming like a little girl, "Hannah, Hannah!" The shrill and piercing shout detonated everyone's laughter.

"Relax, relax, Lizzie-McGuire, don't look too hideous, makeup will show." Lu Ke shouted, and while talking, he also gestured his cheek, and the sharp and playful tone fought back without showing weakness, and the surrounding onlookers began to whistle, and the screams were endless.

Liz McGuire, the heroine of another 1999 Disney Channel TV series "New Growing Pains", is an ordinary high school girl.

Colin's face suddenly became a little unbearable, he looked left and right at his teammates who were coaxing, and took a step forward in annoyance, "Hey, Bambi, how did you know about these TV series?" Are you a big fan? Do you sit in front of the TV every week, waiting for your idol to appear? ”

Bambi. The same nickname, used at this time, is full of irony.

"Woo woo, Bambi, the big-eyed Bambi, cute." Colin raised his hands and opened his eyes, mimicking Bambi's appearance vividly, and his clown-like movements successfully drew cheers from the crowd.

Lu Ke was not in a hurry, raised his chin slightly, and said in a loud voice, "What you think, that's how I see it." Or are you a big fan of Bambi? 'Mom, I love Bambi so much, woo woo, Bambi is dying, what am I going to do?' Lu Ke not only did not get angry, but also learned Colin's tone and imitated it at all.

"Colin, Colin, the Charming Prince." Someone in the crowd shouted, and when they turned around, it was Logan, with their hands to their lips, shouting loudly.

The high-pitched voice of joy succeeded in triggering another heckling from the onlookers, "Charming prince, charming prince." ”

Colin and Lu Ke have no personal grudges, but they are destined contenders.

In the short term, Colin's main position will not be challenged, and the resources of the entire team will revolve around him; However, there is only one quarterback position, and the relationship between the main force and the bench is determined, and they must compete with each other, and there is only one who finally stands on the court.

Although Jim Hubble announced that the team's main quarterback is Colin, for the team's veterans, in the final analysis, Collin, like Lu Ke, is a first-year rookie and a rookie. So, if you coax Lu Ke, you naturally have to coax Colin.

This is the first meeting between Colin and Lu Ke.

In terms of eloquence, Colin once again fell behind, and it was clear that he had chosen the wrong position. In the midst of the uproar, Colin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, unable to move forward, but refusing to retreat.

In the end, it was Lu Ke who took the lead and said to Lin Shuyuan, "I'm going to eat at the restaurant now, are you going to join?" Then, beckoning Lin Shuyuan, as well as Logan and Marcus, he walked in the direction of the restaurant.
