After Monday night's game, ESPN was the biggest winner, and the San Francisco 49ers also became another beneficiary, just on the official Twitter account, the number of followers skyrocketed by 300,000 in three days, and the team was very popular; Not to mention that the team's official website, official Facebook and other online platforms have ushered in a frenzy of visits.

Jim Hubble and Trent Balke, who were originally in charge of signing Lu Ke, have become city heroes!

Because everyone knows exactly what a crazy gamble it is to sign a Chinese rookie who has not been drafted as a quarterback, even if it's just the team's No. 4 backup quarterback. How fierce the wave of doubts was at the beginning of the season, and how frenzied the support is now.

However, the real winner is Lu Ke!

Prior to this, Lu Ke had never taken care of his social networking platform seriously, and he was not even sure about the number of his fans. If it weren't for the special task of the system, Lu Ke didn't even have a photo wall account, and he devoted himself to training for many years, even if he had Facebook and Twitter accounts, he rarely used them.

But now, in just three days, all of Lu Ke's social network accounts have ushered in a earth-shaking change.

On Twitter, the number of followers following Lu Ke's account has exceeded 3 million, while before, he only had less than 120,000 followers.

On the photo wall, if Lu Ke is not mistaken, thanks to the existence of special tasks in the rookie training camp, he has gained about 50,000 or 60,000 followers, but now it has skyrocketed to 1.8 million.

As for Facebook, Lu Ke hasn't opened it yet, because the inbox seems to be crowded, and the unread emails of the email address where the account is registered have broken through "999" early, and it is very troublesome to open and deal with it now. Simply, Lu Ke handed over the account and password to Lehe, and the professional team completed the processing.

This is just the beginning. All of them, which happened in three days, seemed to complete the outbreak overnight; In the next few days, the pace of growth began to slow down, but the growth curve did not stop, and the major social networking platforms continued to rise.

Hot, in addition to being hot or hot!

A long, long time ago, when Lu Ke was still at UCLA, Logan once filmed a short video recording Lu Ke's passing practice, thirty passes in a row, and accurately entered the short, medium and long pass areas, which was just a simple small video posted on the Bruins' YouTube account.

A year has passed, and the number of views is only more than 2,000, but now, within three days, it has skyrocketed to 8 million, and it has quickly become one of the most popular videos on YouTube, and it has appeared on the front page.

What's even more outrageous is that on the photo wall, the last time Lu Ke posted a photo was the week of the offseason, which was two months ago, when he posted a tidbit picture of shooting an advertisement in the studio, and he hasn't logged into his account since then.

Originally, that photo only had less than 3,000 likes, but now it easily exceeds 2.5 million, and the upward momentum is simply jaw-dropping, and it easily became one of the most popular photos of the day, and then netizens unexpectedly discovered that "Lu Ke and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors are actually friends!" ”

As a result, the topic slowly began to spread to other social networking platforms, and Google's keyword search ranking is the best barometer of Internet popularity.

It's no wonder people always say that the stakes are so great for the players, for the team, and even for the TV stations and the league that no one wants to let go.

Back then, Tony Romo gained a firm foothold in the league through the live broadcast of the night game of the Thanksgiving War and became the helm of the "American Team"; And now, Lu Ke has defeated one of the strongest opponents in the league through a Monday night game, and has also successfully entered the fans.

The pre-career development trajectories of these two unselected rookies are more or less similar.

However, all this did not have much real sense for Lu Ke, first, he did not log in to these accounts, but handed them over to Lehe to deal with; Second, the season is not over yet, and he still can't be distracted.

Fighting hard step by step until now, Lu Ke will never be easily satisfied with the success of the regular season, the playoffs, that is his goal!

Even though he's crazy, the Super Bowl is what he's striving for, just as no one believed that he could take his place in the regular season, and no one believed that as an undrafted rookie in his first season, he was aiming for the Super Bowl, and people could taunt him, ridicule him, despise him, or even curse him, but he would never waver!

Beating the Pittsburgh Steelers was just a regular season game.

After the game, the rest room at Candlestick Stadium became a sea of celebration, and the team's president, Jade Yorke, came to the locker room for the first time to congratulate and thank all the players, and looked ahead to the playoffs, hoping that they would cross the finish line in one go, and not get carried away by returning to the playoffs after eight years.

After that, there was another burst of frolic and joy, and when Lu Ke returned home, it was already late at night.

After a season of strong confrontation, and then after an exhausting game confrontation, physical strength and energy have really reached the limit, and now Lu Ke finally understands why the more he reaches the second half of the season, the easier it is to reflect the heritage and depth of a team and a player.

Fortunately, Lu Ke has improved the relevant sub-items of physical fitness in time before, otherwise he is likely to become the first link in the team to drop the chain when he enters the sprint stage.

With only four days to prepare for the next game, this is undoubtedly bad news.

This week's Saturday is Christmas Eve, Sunday is Christmas, unlike the NBA, which arranges Christmas games every year, and the NFL arranges Thanksgiving games every year, like this year, the league brings the game day forward to Saturday, and all games are completed on Christmas Eve, and then the next day Christmas games are arranged, and all other teams can have a holiday except for the two teams that face off.

It's a rare holiday for professional footballers; But for the two teams tasked with Monday night this week, it was quite unfriendly. After Monday's race, there will be four days of adjustment, followed by race day, which is even shorter than the usual Monday night game.

The San Francisco 49ers are already considered a happy party, because it is a home game, and they can go home and rest after the game; The Pittsburgh Steelers, on the other hand, were even more bleak and miserable, having to fly more than six hours across the continent to get back to Pittsburgh, then rest for three and a half days before heading into the next game.

The only good news is that the Steelers' final two opponents are the St. Louis Rams and Cleveland Browns, both of which are not too strong, and although they still can't relax, at least they don't need to be as fierce as they are against the 49ers in this game.

Now there are only four days to rest and adjust, and today - it is now past midnight and it is the next day - he still has to return to the training base for recovery training, so Lu Ke should go to bed immediately.

There were more than forty text messages on the phone, including Stephen Curry, JJ Watt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Candace Swanepole, but they could only wait until tomorrow to slowly reply.

However, before he can really turn off the lights and rest, Lu Ke still has one more thing to complete: testing the harvest.

Maybe this is the toughest game of the season — wait, or the one against the Cowboys? Or maybe it's the game against the Giants?

I couldn't make a judgment in my mind for a while, but what was certain was that the pressure brought by the Steelers' defensive group was huge, devouring people like a beast, and the pressure on the offensive group was even more all-round, all the way to the last moment of the game. This also means that both match and special missions are more difficult to complete.

Now, Lu Ke needs to confirm the completion of the mission.

The first is the race mission.

Complete a passing touchdown, four, plus four base points; In the second half, the pass control is completed, the proportion of middle passes is more than 30%, the number of advancing yards is more than 50 yards, and the base point is increased by one; Complete the defensive reading in the second half, recognize the opponent's intention to tackle the quarterback at least twice, and add one base point; In the second half, complete the pass in the designated formation, advance at least 50 yards in the shotgun formation, and add one base point; Win the match and add three base points.

There are a total of 10 base points.

The regular season has gradually entered the track, as long as you win the game, every week will be the same, now it seems that the playoffs will change, and the rest will depend on the next season.

Among the many game tasks, in addition to the proportion of the middle pass played a crucial role in the second half, the most surprising thing is the defensive reading, which must recognize the opponent's intention to tackle the quarterback two or more times, facing the league's top defensive group, Lu Ke now finally understands the intention of the system.

Reading defense is not just a simple analysis of formations, it also requires a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the opponent's defensive tactics. It's like today, the Steelers have not formed a breakthrough for a long time, completed the grappling, just exerted pressure, but created unimaginable trouble, and raided at a critical moment, truly interpreting the mystery of "suddenly" vividly, killing Lu Ke by surprise.

Only after really playing against the top players can you understand your own gap.

The race mission was narrowly and narrowly completed, and then there were special missions, and there were two.
