"Because I'm not good at running. I don't think I can fool the opposing defenders. The significance of the pseudo-pistol formation is that it blurs the opponent's judgment, only needs a moment of hesitation, and after the kick-off again, our passing attack can tear a hole. But, as I said, I need to know where the defender is moving and where they are moving. ”

In the face of Jim's rhetorical question, Lu Ke first blacked himself out, and then regained his composure, expressing his views seriously and sincerely, and low laughter filled the entire tactical conference room.

Jim lifted his chin and thought for a moment, "This tactic is a failure, but your attempt is worthy of recognition." Jim smiled and nodded, expressing his affirmation, "You're still thinking about the tactical change too simply......" Immediately, Jim began to analyze again, following Lu Ke's thoughts, and further analyzing the tactics.

Tactical meetings are always boring, even obscure, especially when a player is always actively answering every question of the coach and always actively participating in every tactical discussion, which is even worse.

Undoubtedly, Lu Ke is smart and diligent, and he has quickly adapted to the rhythm of the team less than a day after joining the team, but this is like a bowl of fruit gummies crawling with maggots, which can't be liked. Colin believes he's not the only player who can't get used to "Mr. Encyclopedia."

After the tactical meeting, the players left the conference room one after another, Pares called out to Lu Ke, and then pulled him aside, "...... What's your name? ”

"Lu Ke."

"Yes, Luke." Without a tone and habitually bringing in English pronunciation, Parres frowned and reprimanded with dissatisfaction, "We all know you're smart, von Derick scored a perfect score on the test, which is remarkable." But, on the pitch, von Derrick's test is nothing, those professional players, one hand can play you around. So, now you can keep your mouth shut and don't pretend you know everything. ”

A smile flashed in Lu Ke's eyes, he didn't speak, he didn't refute, he just raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.

Pares was very satisfied with Lu Ke's performance, and patted Lu Ke's shoulder heavily, "This is a good guy." Then, swaggering, he walked over to his companions and turned away giggling.

Not far away, Colin leaned against the wall, silently watching it all, and finally a cheerful smile appeared on his face, gloating.

Then, Brelon rushed out at a trot and took the initiative to say hello, "Hey, Colin, let's go to the training ground together." ”

Colin's face couldn't help but change, and he turned around in a panic and walked away quickly; But Brelon didn't understand the meaning of this action, glared at Lu Ke viciously, and then quickly chased after him, "Colin, wait for me." ”

"What a bunch of clowns." Logan shook his head, looked at the back of the hustle and bustle in the corridor rushing towards the elevator, and opened his mouth to complain. It's just that I'm not sure if I'm complaining about Brelon or Parres.

After looking at Lu Ke who was following up, he turned his head, "Bambi, what are you going to do?" Lu Ke's gesture of surrender just now, Logan, Marcus, and Aldon all saw it.

Marcus rolled his eyes widely, the stark whites of his eyes almost made people think that his eyeballs were going to be rolled over, and at the same time, he also tilted back exaggeratedly, stuck out his tongue, and made a "dead face" expression, "Jesus Christ, who do they think they are, they are very good at bragging, why can't they see them on the field?" With such a big mouth, I thought I was a toad. ”

The merciless complaint, obviously aimed at Parres, provoked several friends to laugh lowly.

Marcus regained his normal expression and looked at Lu Ke worriedly, "Bambi, you won't be scared, will you?" And then really make an obedient and obedient card? This doesn't work on the pitch. ”

Lu Ke said seriously, "I have always been an honest and law-abiding citizen. I aspire to follow the rules and regulations of the team, how can I contradict the rules of my predecessors? It was obviously a serious expression, but the words that came out were ...... Nonsense.

After speaking, Lu Ke walked forward quickly with a righteous expression of "I refuse to be with you". Logan and Aldon both looked down and laughed, and quickly followed, leaving Marcus alone to stand behind, "Bambi? You weren't serious about that, were you? But, no one responded to him, "Bambi! ”

It was only five seconds before Marcus knew what was going on—not five seconds, to be exact, but fifteen minutes.

After the tactical meeting, the team came to the training ground and officially began to participate in today's tactical drills, where the offensive and defensive groups played games and practiced different routines and combinations.

Although the 49ers currently have three quarterbacks on the roster, Alex Smith didn't even show up in training camp due to injury, only Colin and Lu Ke. Therefore, for every offense, Jim asked the two quarterbacks to take turns to play and take turns to practice, and as much as possible, he asked every player to understand the tactics as much as possible.

"Attack!"

At this time, it is Lu Ke who is standing on the field for drills, not a pistol formation, nor a shotgun formation, Lu Ke stands closely behind the center, only an arm's length away from the defenders, this is a close-range rush pass training, requiring the quarterback to face the strong raid of the defenders head-on, and complete short passes in the case of shrinking pockets.

It's not a medium pass, it's not a long pass, it has to be a short pass.

With an order, the center forward drove the rugby out, after Lu Ke received the ball, he quickly retreated, the whole pocket quickly shrank, and the defensive players under the leadership of Pares, the intensity obviously exceeded the level of training, and it seemed that they took out the state of the game and made up their minds to teach Lu Ke a good lesson.

The speed at which the pocket shrank exceeded expectations, and in just a breath, Lu Ke was already in trouble, but he did not disarm and surrender, continued to retreat, and then resolutely rushed out of the pocket, continued to move and run, and at the same time all the receivers scattered outside were in sight, quickly looking for a passing target.

"Beep", offensive coach Craig Roman blew his whistle and interrupted the training gear. This is a pocket short pass training, requiring the quarterback to stay in the pocket, and now that Lu Ke has left the pocket, the training will naturally be terminated.

However, Lu Ke still did not give up, almost at the moment when the whistle sounded, he quickly found Logan in the crowd, raised his knife and fell, made a five-yard pass, and entered Logan's arms steadily.

Logan didn't continue to sprint, grabbed the football with one hand in his right hand and raised it high, showing off to the defenders; And Lu Ke clenched his fists vigorously and shouted loudly, "Yay! Constantly cheering himself up, the tight muscles and sudden green tendons revealed Lu Ke's full attention.

It's as if it's not a training session, it's a Super Bowl game. With all your might, without the slightest relaxation. It's the same as the sparring career back then.

Pares stood in place, gasping for breath, looking at Logan and Lu Ke, who were high-fived, in a daze, with a very bad face. They were ready to teach the rookie a lesson, only to be slapped hard by the other party, which was really embarrassing. Emotions of anger and shame surged in the chest.

As a coach, Craig couldn't help but be stunned and muttered in a low voice, "This is training, not competition." I've stopped training, what's going on with him? ”

Kip Kleist, who was standing next to him, smiled, "He's not focused on training, he's about winning. There is a strong sense of competition, and that's a good thing. Have you forgotten? On the first day of the trial, he completely defeated the sparring team in the twentieth offensive, this ability, this focus, and this investment are definitely not something that a random player can have. ”

Craig smiled dumbly, "I know. But ......" The words froze slightly, raised his head to look at Lu Ke, and did not hide his excitement and excitement at all, "It's just that I didn't expect it." ”

In the United States, people have a fixed impression of the Chinese American community, they are always shy and quiet, always humble and low-key, always silent and reserved, and it seems that they do not even participate in ordinary social activities on a daily basis, let alone actively integrate into the local community.

But apparently, this first-grader is an exception.

Next, Lu Ke's performance also completely subverted the fixed concept of the 49-member coaching team about Chinese Americans.

This is definitely not a good type, full dedication, firm and decisive, no distractions, a strong sense of competition, initially showing his ability to use tactics flexibly, as well as the ability to further self-interpretation. Every attack, every tactic, go all out, without reservation, in the afternoon training, Lu Ke stole a lot of the limelight from Colin.

Just on the first day of joining the team, Lu Ke has clearly drawn the line and set the goal: he is not here for the bench, he is not here to sit on the bench, his goal is the main force, the absolute main force, his goal is to stand on the field, win the game, and full of confidence and motivation.

For the coaching team, they are happy to see it, and the competition between the two rookie quarterbacks can increase each other's motivation; But for the players, it's not the case.

Before Lu Ke joined, they had already established the entire training system with Colin as the center; But now, Lu Ke's active efforts have brought variables and troubles - after all, Lu Ke and Colin are two quarterbacks with very different styles, and the focus of tactics is a world apart.

Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? But, for good or bad, the competition has already begun. On the first day of his debut, Lu Ke was deeply impressed.

Pares didn't like that, and even hated it. Not because of the competition between Lu Ke and Colin, but because Lu Ke is challenging the authority and bottom line of the senior players, if you don't teach this first-year student a good lesson, I am afraid that their authority will not be able to maintain it for the next whole season.

The team needs order, and the rookie needs a lesson.
