074 Big ups and downs

In just one day, from a nobody to a public eye; It was only one day, and the anticipation turned into a big disappointment.

The aura is gone!

Every year, the test items of the rookie training camp are summarized after time precipitation and facts, and from these items, the physical fitness and ability of the players are clear at a glance, and Cam is called "Superman", and it is not for nothing; And Logan is arguably the most draft-promising player on the Bruins, which is also an ironclad fact. All of this can be understood through the test results -

Cam Newton, this year's Heisman Award winner and the favorite to win the draft, had no doubt in the second day of training camp: 4.59 seconds in a 40-yard sprint; vertical jump, 35 inches, standing long jump, 126 inches; Twenty yards switchback, 4.18 seconds!

A simple horizontal comparison, Lu Ke's disadvantages are clear at a glance: 40-yard sprint, 4.89 seconds; vertical jump touch height, 31 inches; Standing long jump, 105 inches; 20-yard switchback, 4.50 seconds; Around the tricone, 6.99 seconds.

Falling behind in an all-round way, Cam's test data, each item easily killed Lu Ke in seconds, and it was an absolute advantage!

Of course, this is not fair, not to mention that Cam is the most physical quarterback this year, and before this year's game, Lu Ke was still an unknown sparring partner, and there is no comparison between the two; Just talking about the overall level of quarterbacks, there is no need to compare Cam and Lu Ke.

The quarterback has never been a physically fit position, with a 40-yard sprint with an absolute advantage in wide receivers and running backs; The vertical jump touches the heights, which is the world of close-end forwards and cornerbacks; Standing long jump, running back, lineback, and forward players, their physical explosiveness is the biggest reliance......

In other words, in any test, the quarterback is difficult to occupy the front line, just in the middle of the stream, or even lower. In the final analysis, the ability of the quarterback is still in terms of on-court judgment, situation control, and passing accuracy - and these are precisely Lu Ke's strengths.

In fact, Lu Ke's performance in the physical fitness test in the training camp has made overall progress, which is better than when he was selected in the state, and it is even more reborn than half a year ago, and the improvement speed is very obvious.

But, there is no harm without contrast. Cam and Lu Ke, who were in the limelight on the first day of the training camp, were naturally placed in the same position for comparison under the attention and expectations of the public, and then ...... The shortcomings of Lu Ke's physical talent were exposed, and there was no room for concealment.

Not to mention Cam, even Logan and Marcus have much better results than Lu Ke.

Logan, near end, 4.62 4.62 yard sprint, bench press, 22; vertical jump, 38 inches; Standing long jump, 127 inches; 20-yard switchback, 4.18 seconds; Sixty-yard switchback, 11.57 seconds.

Marcus, running back, 40-yard sprint, 4.50s; bench press, 20 reps; vertical jump height, 36 inches; Standing long jump, 120 inches; 20-yard switchback, 4.40 seconds; Sixty-yard switchback, 11.66 seconds.

The whole contrast is clear at a glance. Logan, as the ace near end of the Bruins, performed very well; Marcus was able to dominate the outcome of the game in the final few games, not at the top of his game, but at an average level.

If Lu Ke is just an ordinary rookie quarterback, then his test results are not eye-catching, but they have reached the average level of rookies, which is far from bad; But now, Vendrick's full score in the test really made Lu Ke show off, and he handed in such an answer sheet on the cusp of the storm - as Adam expected, it was naturally a big disappointment.

What's more, Lu Ke is still an unprecedented Chinese player on the field, and his critical vision is even more demanding, and the stereotype lingers.

Even if von Derick scored a perfect score on the test, so what? This is a sports arena, not Harvard.

At the end of the day, it's all about physicality, technical ability, and the keys to winning games. Now, these important characteristics, Lu Ke seems to be unsatisfactory in the first item, and naturally all the care and attention are gone, and the expectation is high, and the disappointment is heavy.

In just two days, the frequency and magnitude of the ups and downs are simply more exciting than the roller coaster, and the cruelty and bloodiness of competitive sports are shown in front of the rookies for the first time. It's about dreams, but it's not about dreams.

"Look, isn't this a Wall Street suit? How did you come to NFL's rookie camp? The "suit" here refers to the elite in the suit, and it is Cam who speaks, smiling and refreshed, and there is no disguise in his ostentatious posture, "Man, are you sure you are not going to the wrong place?" This is not the office of the stock market, or the office of the White House. ”

The process of testing physical fitness, for Lu Ke, is the process of revealing the prototype of the ugly duckling little by little; But for Cam, it was a process of shining little by little, and his physical qualities and his natural talents were vividly displayed in various tests.

This year's Heisman Award winner has finally swept away the haze and regained his vitality, and the grievances and depression of the previous day have all disappeared, and he has once again become a well-deserved pride of the sky!

Cam, who was in high spirits, began to attack happily again, and Lu Ke's misfortune was his happiness. The noisy and piercing shout caused a round of laughter around him, even if Lu Ke wanted to ignore it, it was not an easy task.

Lu Ke glanced at Cam unhurriedly, "You mean, I sit high above in the VIP room, controlling the life and death of every player?" And then, through your victory, win the next Rolls-Royce for me? ”

"You!" With just one sentence, Cam felt the shame again, and the burning anger made him take a big step forward, and Tarzan rushed towards Lu Ke like a crush, "No, I mean, this is not for you, you should get out!" This is a rugby stadium, not for office people like you! ”

Lu Ke didn't laugh angrily, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "How can you be sure?" I mean, don't you doubt your own judgment? If I were you, I would think hard again before making judgments and decisions. "After all, your IQ is not high. The latter sentence is not spoken, but the meaning could not be more obvious.

"Grass!" Enraged, Cam was at a loss for words, could not think of anything but foul language, could not say anything, clenched his fists, and said viciously, "Speak, speak, speak, you are good for nothing but talking." Do you dare to compete with me directly? ”

"The coward is calling." Lu Ke raised his chin, his eyes showed contempt, and he stabbed Cam again in the form of personal pronouns, and then then said, "Then let's go on the field and try it, do you only run the ball, or do you also know how to pass the ball?" ”

After the von Derick test on the first day, Marcus found that Cam had the same score as him and mocked Cam for being a running guard rather than a quarterback. Now, Lu Ke brings up the old thing again, Cam's whole person is almost about to explode, and it looks like a ball that has exploded.

"Are you going to compete privately, or publicly?" There was a joking voice next to him, and everyone around turned their heads to look over, only Cam and Lu Ke didn't move, still staring at each other, "If it's an open competition, now there's a chance, the role skill test is about to start, come, see whose passing is more accurate." ”

With these words, Cam and Lu Ke came back to their senses slightly, had to suppress their emotions, turned their heads, and then saw the three coaches, standing not far away in a zigzag state, with a relaxed smile on their faces, facing the contradictions and conflicts in front of them, and even talking and laughing. At this point, reason quietly returned to the brain.

Today is the third day of rookie camp, and all the rookies are once again bustling into the stadium to get ready for today's role skills test.

In rugby, the basic skills required for players in different positions are different, so in the training camp, the league coaches and scouts design different exercises and tests according to the requirements of different positions, which is called the role skills test.

In this type of test, rookie players demonstrate their skills and abilities by completing prescribed movements and exercises under the guidance of a coach, and the coach and tester will record the completion of the movements.

After entering the professional league, it is very common for teams to ask players to change positions on the field according to the test results to meet the team's requirements, which also makes the role skills test an indispensable part.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback coach Geep-Chryst, New Orleans Saints quarterback coach Joe-Lombardi, Seattle Seahawks quarterback coach Carl-Smith, the three of them looked at the energetic, young and energetic young men in front of them, and didn't care at all, in football, there was no conflict, that was abnormal; On the contrary, they are very happy to see competition, benign, malicious, positive, sideways, competition can always bring more possibilities.

It's worth mentioning that Kip and Karl were two of the group at the elevator on the day the rookie camp was reported. Kip is the Humpty Dumpty, and Carl is the skinny bamboo pole.

"Next, we test the pass." Standing at the very end of the triangle, Joe said, "Every quarterback is paired with a receiver, and we test the quality of the quarterback in this half, and the other half tests the ability of the receiver. So, pay attention to the coach's instructions, what direction to pass, where to pass, and after hearing clearly, start attacking immediately. Is there a problem? ”

Joe's eyes wandered carefully over the twenty-one quarterbacks, and after making sure there were no doubts, he turned around and left with Kip and Carl, talking and laughing.

With one side of his head, Lu Ke and Cam's eyes collided together, and the smell of gunsmoke could be smelled in the air. This moment has finally come, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away, the hands of the two quarterbacks, which is better or worse, is about to see!
