"I told you." Charles Davis's eyes were radiant, bright and excited. He's trying, trying to stay calm and calm, not to look too excited, but it's not going to be easy.

The past month has been a complete torment for Charles, and he was almost out of breath in the game week after week, and the heavy weight was pressed on his chest and lingered.

Going to the supermarket, he could feel those mocking glances, like a man's back; Heading to the gas station, he could see sports news playing clips of the San Francisco 49ers' game, like pins and needles; Heading to the coffee house, he could hear the chatter of the rookie quarterback, who was discussing the Chinese American rookie quarterback......

Lu Ke, Lu Ke, or Lu Ke, all of them are Lu Ke.

God, he lives in Los Angeles, why is everyone talking about the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers? This name is like a nightmare, firmly entangled with him, and the ghost does not go away, and even in his sleep, he can see the video of the San Francisco 49ers' game, as well as Lu Ke's crazy and mocking face twisted like a demon.

At the beginning of the season, Charles was not optimistic about Lu Ke's development prospects, and from any point of view, the quarterback could not have a future; Four weeks later, Charles is still not optimistic about Lu Ke's career.

He admits that he has fallen into the trap of paranoia, stubbornly and radically clinging to his views, refusing to change, as if this is no longer a professional job, but a duel between individuals, a duel of bayonets and life and death. But he firmly believes, and despite his subjective perception, he still holds the same view.

In the fourth week of the regular season, his views and positions were finally proven. The sky has eyes.

At this moment, all the commentators gathered and once again engaged in the recording of ESPN's latest episode of "Within the Alliance".

Before this game, five commentators chose the Philadelphia Eagles and five commentators chose the San Francisco 49ers, and it was obvious that the San Francisco 49ers' upward momentum was becoming more and more ferocious, and gradually won more support; However, in Charles's eyes, they are just a group of reeds swaying randomly on the wall, and they have no opinion of their own, just following the trend.

"I told you a long time ago." Charles still couldn't hold back after all, and emphasized again, his cheeks seemed to be a little too tight, and there was no expression at all, but his bright eyes revealed the joy and boiling in his heart, "This team is too young, they are not trustworthy, they need more time." As the game progresses, their problems will be exposed one after another! ”

"You mean, Lu Ke is still a derelict quarterback, even if he has a 126.08 quarterback rating this week?" It was still Spencer Larson who stepped up to raise the bar, and inadvertently, the two commentators have become two opposing sides in the show.

From a certain point of view, in fact, the program team is encouraging such a confrontation, and such a gimmick can detonate the ratings.

Charles's words were slightly choked, and after all, he couldn't open his eyes and say nonsense, "The correct way to put it is: this is a very young team, and they are facing a lot of problems, especially on the offensive end. ”

Even with his personal vendettas, Charles laid out his views from a relatively objective perspective, not only to convince his colleagues, but also to establish his prestige among television audiences. Commentators who open their eyes and talk nonsense can't stay in this line of work for long.

"As an undrafted rookie, Lu Ke's performance met the team's expectations, but his performance was very unstable, no interception, no conceded ball, beautiful data does not mean that his performance is good enough, and his big heart at critical moments has repeatedly been able to create miracles, which is a fact; The problem is that he doesn't seem to be able to play until the critical moment, and the whole attack is organized in a ridiculous manner, with empty passing yards, but he can't get the first attack and can't score points. ”

Accompanied by Charles's words, the pre-prepared video clip appears again as direct evidence, further explaining, "Who does this remind me of? Eli Manning! Or rather, Eli Manning, who is slightly inferior in overall strength and seriously lacking in overall experience. They have the ability to make long passes and fatal blows at critical moments, but they do not have a stable play, nor a stable state, and they are destined to be unable to go further. ”

"He's not Peyton Manning, he's not Ben Rosslisberg, he's not Kurt Warner, he's just a fledgling Eli Manning. Eli Manning won the Super Bowl four years ago, but Lu Ke still hasn't reached his level and height, should we look back at Eli's rookie season results, do you need to remind you? ”

Charles tried to keep his composure, tried to stay professional, but that swaggering gesture burst out from the inside out, and it was impossible to hide it.

Eli Manning got a chance to come off the bench in the first game of his rookie season, but in order to help Eli adapt to the rhythm of the NFL game, the New York Giants did not help him, but instead used Kurt Warner, who was brought in in in the offseason, as the starting quarterback, while Eli studied under Warner.

Halfway through the season, Warner, who was in poor form, handed over the starting quarterback position, Manning took over, after that, he started seven games, but his performance was mediocre, throwing only 1,043 yards and six touchdowns, ushering in a seven-game losing streak, and it was not until the season finale that he led the team to defeat the Dallas Cowboys and usher in the first win after starting.

In the face of Charles's pride, Spencer was not angry, but laughed ridiculously, "Mr. Davis, do you need me to remind you of Lu Ke's statistics in the past four games?" I'm not sure if Lu Ke is the next Kurt Warner, or the next Peyton Manning, but for sure, he's not the next Eli Manning. ”

"Let's admit it calmly, as a starting quarterback, Lu Ke still has a lot to lose, as you said, he is still on the road to learning, but the team he led is indeed on the right path and wins the game in their way." Spencer's-for-tat with Charles continues, "We can continue to talk about the regular season stats here, we can talk about the stats of past training camps and college careers, but we can also look at where the San Francisco 49ers are right now: the leader of the Western Conference of Nations." ”

"Four games, just four games." Charles didn't continue to say more, raised his right hand and stretched out four fingers, "It's the same for any rookie, we need time, we need more time to slowly investigate, and similarly, for Lu Ke is no exception, we can't because he is a Chinese quarterback, suddenly sigh, it turns out that Chinese players can also play, and then lower the standard." ”

For supporters, Lu Ke's performance was enough; But for the naysayers, they want to see more proof. As Tony Romo said, undrafted rookies need to prove themselves in the moment; As Lu Ke himself understands, Chinese players need to put in 200% effort.

"Lower the bar? We're now judging Lu Ke by Aaron Rodgers, but he's still a good quarterback, and you think we're lowering the bar? Spencer shook his head and smiled ridiculously, as if he couldn't believe Charles's paranoia.

And then, there's a fryer in the studio, Aaron Rogers? Spencer actually brought up elite quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which almost detonated the powder keg, and other commentators couldn't hold back any longer, and supporters and opponents began to express their opinions, each with their own opinions, and the bustle was so lively.

In the first week of the regular season, the debate about Lu Ke was almost one-sided; After the end of the fourth week of the regular season, the controversy about Lu Ke became full of flowers and hundreds of schools of thought.

What is certain is that as the season progresses, as the game progresses, Lu Ke's performance on the field will become more and more, and the argument will become clearer and clearer-

Time will tell; History will eventually be successfully written. However, before the dust of history settles, all controversies exist, and before Lu Ke ends his career, all debates and disputes will not stop.

The controversy continues to heat up, and after a loss, imaginary defections and swearing have not swept in, and the arguments between supporters and opponents are indeed heating up, but it is undeniable that the opponents have regained the upper hand. In competitive sports, a win can solve all problems, and just as a defeat can expose all problems, even if it's a narrow loss.

The debate "within the alliance" is only a condensed part of the attention of society as a whole.

After the game ended last week, the title of "Skywalker" spread far and wide, which really made Lu Ke's influence break away from the rugby field and spread widely; And this week's critical moment turned the tide and achieved a reversal, but in less than a minute, the opponent reversed again, which is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and exciting games in the fourth week of the regular season, which also made Lu Ke's exposure further higher.

Originally, the loss of rookies and Chinese quarterbacks was a hot topic; And now, even the game itself has become a hot focus, in the highlights of this week's event, Lu Ke and Ted Jean's last-minute eagle wings spread their passes, selected into the top 10 of the week, and fiercely attracted a wave of fans for Lu Ke.

Focus plus focus, and there is only one result, "bang", which completely explodes. More and more people are beginning to hear Lu Ke's story, which is even more sensational than Kurt Warner's "Cinderella"-like miraculous rise, after all, Warner is not the first Chinese quarterback in history.

It seems that every week has to become the focus of controversy, it seems that every week it has to cause a frenzy of public opinion, and it seems that every week it has to create countless topics, which has gradually begun to become normal for Lu Ke, he is learning, trying to ignore those off-the-field factors, and concentrate on daily training.

But it doesn't seem to be an easy task.
