Emma Watson? Sophie Brooke?

Vaguely, Lu Ke seemed to have caught a little clue, and always felt that the answer to a question was about to come out, but it was always separated by a thin film, and he couldn't figure it out in the clouds, and he was trying to think about it carefully, and then he cut off all the clues.

However, Lu Ke didn't care, since he couldn't remember, it shouldn't be an important issue, and then raised his gaze to meet Lehe's meaningful gaze, "You know what? You look like someone in the Kardashian family, a housekeeper or a driver, and as soon as you smell the gossip, the whole person is like a cockfight. ”

"Emma's reason for choosing my name couldn't be simpler, this is probably the only football player she knows, or rather, she also knows Tom Brady, but this event is just testing the waters, Brady is really overkill, so the league didn't consider him, and his name can't be seen on the list." Lu Ke gave the correct answer lightly.

Lech tucked his chin slightly, indicating understanding, and then spoke, "Butler or driver?" I thought it should be at least a core member like lawyers. ”

"......" A row of crows suddenly flew over Lu Ke's head: This shouldn't be the point, right?

Talking all the way and walking slowly, Lu Ke and Lehe came to the VIP room.

After knocking on the door, I pushed open the door of the VIP room, and the bustling crowd came into view, not only Jed and Gideon, the two team executives, but also the San Francisco 49ers There were several senior management officials, who had only heard the name and never showed up; Moreover, there are also a large number of important figures in the alliance, including the Propaganda Department, the Media Department, the Operations Department, the Activities Department, and so on.

The endless stream of characters is really overwhelming, far grander and grander than the last Rolex signing ceremony, and it can be seen from the side that the alliance attaches great importance to the female audience market.

Actually, this is not difficult to understand.

The league's point is not to have female viewers sit in front of the TV and watch the game; It's about getting female spectators to support rugby as well.

As I said before, for the uninitiated, rugby seems to be synonymous with violent sports, including concussion, legal impact, excessive violence and other keywords that have always lingered and discouraged; In recent years, rugby professionals have been repeatedly linked to domestic violence, and even more violent offenses.

This has also made many women stand on the opposite side of rugby. This is very detrimental to the global promotion of the NFL.

Therefore, the league has been committed to repairing its image, trying to tell the majority of female audiences that rugby is a sport that combines strength and wisdom, and it is worthy of everyone's support like football, basketball, boxing and other sports; As for those small groups of violent acts, they are individual phenomena of the players and cannot be generalized.

Now, the league's punishment scale for domestic violence and other violent violations is very strict, once it is found out, even if it is only a woman who files a lawsuit unilaterally, before the court makes a judgment, the league's attitude is that it will never be forgiven, not only the league ban, but the thirty-two teams will often be in the same breath -

If domestic violence is found to be true, the first and second time, the team may also give a low-key fine, and strictly restrain the player's private life; But if it's a serious situation, or if it's a repeated, then the team may just terminate the contract, and other teams are reluctant to take over.

Up and down, inside and out, the entire coalition is working together to take a stand. Because this is an important event involving the collective interests of the whole movement, the interests of the global market, this piece of cake is coveted by everyone, so everyone is united; In fact, this is one of the reasons why Roger Goodale has been able to get the support of the team's owners on a regular basis, and he has never been ambiguous when it comes to key interests.

Therefore, the senior management of the San Francisco 49ers team has paid attention to it, and their players can become a part of it, which is naturally undesirable for them, and it is also a great benefit to the team's image; The high-level of the alliance also attended, and all departments attached great importance to it, and collectively coordinated and cooperated collectively to work together in one place.

On such an occasion, Lu Ke and Emma didn't have time to talk alone at all, they just met and greeted each other, and briefly exchanged two words, and then other guests appeared again, and Lehe had to make introductions.

Naturally, there is nothing for tat and sparks between the two people.

It was Gideon who got the opportunity and had an in-depth chat with Lu Ke.

Despite spending more than 20 years in the United States, Gideon's English still has a strong accent that captures the unique Korean pronunciation skills that reflect his family roots. Of course, there are also slender and slender eyes that are also a sign of Korean characteristics, but ordinary looks can still be recognized.

"Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In the past, when I mentioned rugby to other people, my friends always didn't understand, they didn't understand what I was saying, they still liked football; However, it's different now, when I talk to others about rugby, just mention the name of Lu Ke - Skywalker, and everything can be solved. ”

Gideon is a cheerful personality that can be felt in his words; In addition, the self-made steadiness and ability are still mixed in every move.

In the first impression, Jed York is more elite, after all, he is a rich second generation, and his childhood education brought by his family background is still different; Gideon-Yu, on the other hand, was more affectionate and commoner, and it is conceivable that little by little he had accumulated his fortune and spent more than twenty years finally reaching his current position.

Lu Ke couldn't help but show a surprised expression, "Did you like rugby before?" ”

"When I was in college, when I was at Stanford, the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys national derby, every game was boiling with the whole school, and in order not to become an alternative in the school, joining classmates was the best choice. I've loved the team ever since. Gideon said lightly.

Lu Ke laughed happily, looking at Gideon's confused look, he couldn't help but explain, "I chose sports at the beginning, just to integrate into local life, because there is no basketball in the school, so I chose rugby." ”

Spanning twenty years of time and space, Lu Ke and Gideon are obviously two generations, but they inadvertently found each other's resonance, and those similar memories, similar experiences, and similar feelings suddenly shortened the distance between the two people.

Although Gideon's stake in San Francisco 49 is not directly related to Lu Ke; But there's no denying that being able to see an Asian player enter the league is also a special feeling for Gideon.

"It was a great game today, I'm not talking about the score, I'm talking about a couple of games with the defense, and as a quarterback, you really deserve credit." Gideon said simply, there was not much new in his words, but there was a fan glint in the depths of his eyes, which was the eyes of those who really understood the ball, and he could feel the excitement and excitement of being a fan.

Then, Gideon shook Lu Ke's right hand again and said with a smile, "I think you are the most suitable person for this event, and the alliance also attaches great importance to it, come on!" ”

That's the end of the short conversation. Immediately afterwards, other guests came over again, Gideon and Lu Ke nodded, and then turned to leave, walked in the direction of the other guests, and returned the conversation space to Lu Ke.

Although the conversation was not long, Gideon left a good impression on Lu Ke. In the field of professional football, it is not easy to meet an Asian senior who really understands the game.

After that, Jade York and Roger Goodale came hand in hand, and after a polite greeting, Goodale joked and said in a relaxed tone, "The young female audience is in charge of you, after Aaron Rogers and Tom Brady, you are the representative of the league." ”

"I hope that the alliance had better not appear in the official notice-related keywords, otherwise I should receive a lot of protest letters in the next period of time." Lu Ke's joking answer also made Roger and Jade both smile.

Incidentally, none of the four players selected have been in the dark off the pitch so far, and all four have their own styles, which is crucial for the campaign.

"The rest is up to you, Trent and I both think so, you're the right fit. We all want you to be a flag for San Francisco. These are Jed's words, not only serious and weighty, but it is not known how many are polite compliments and how many are genuine.

The meeting and conversation in the VIP room lasted for nearly forty minutes, and Lu Ke was able to get out of the room. Obviously, there was no fierce movement and confrontation, but Lu Ke's clean jersey was also soaked with sweat; Compared with such an occasion, Lu Ke was once again more convinced that he was still suitable for the training ground.

……

Early the next morning, Lu Ke still got up early in the morning as usual, and after finishing the warm-up exercise of jogging, Vincent Kemp and Lech Steinberg arrived at the door of the apartment, and drove Lu Ke out of downtown San Francisco, all the way in the direction of Stanford University, where the venue for today's program was recorded.

When he arrived at the scene, the studio was already full of people, Lu Ke thought he was late, and his expression was slightly nervous.

Lech chuckled, "I thought nothing would be too difficult for you." ”

"I'm not Superman." Lu Ke smiled dumbly, and his mood relaxed a little. The live broadcast of the night game and the recording of the program are two completely different things after all, and they are not a professional field that Lu Ke is familiar with, so it is inevitable to be nervous.

Lech then explained, "When you record a TV show, if you need to freshen up, then come to the scene in advance; If you don't need it, then you can postpone it a little bit, and that's okay. You are the latter. ”
