"Rumor has it that your favourite team is the Green Bay Packers and used to wish they could come and play in Green Bay, is that true? So how do you feel about today's game? ”

Harry Waynes is still the haunted "Sports Illustrated" reporter, sharp and pervasive, always trying to catch Lu Ke's sore feet all the time, and then write a big book. That was true last season and again this season.

A seemingly simple topic, but a shocking trap is hidden. If you are not careful, Lu Ke may offend all San Francisco fans, and he will not be able to please here in Green Bay.

"Yes, I'm a Green Bay Packer fan, it's no secret." Lu Ke didn't take any detours and gave a straightforward answer, as if he hadn't noticed Harry's trap at all, but in fact, as Lu Ke said, this was not a secret in the first place, he didn't hide it, and he didn't plan to hide it.

"The first time I watched a football game was the Green Bay Packers, when the legendary No. 4 was still the quarterback, but what really drew me to it was the fan culture of the team that fascinated me. Honestly, this culture has given me a sense of identity and integration. This is very important for me who just immigrated to the United States. ”

A smile appeared on Lu Ke's face, as if he recalled the good times of his childhood, and then, as soon as the conversation changed, the rhythm of the conversation entered Lu Ke's mode.

"But I'm San Francisco. My parents, my friends, my upbringing, my memories, and most importantly, my prom, all took place in this city. From strangeness to integration, the city gradually accepted me and opened its arms to become my home. It's a very different emotion. ”

"When I learned that I was able to play for the San Francisco 49ers, I was so moved that I almost burst into tears. Definitely not because it was the only team willing to take me. ”

Inadvertently, Lu Ke once again laughed at himself for the fact that he was not selected as a rookie, and that cheerful words made the other San Francisco 49ers teammates whistle one after another, and even Lu Ke smiled.

"So, now standing on top of Green Bay, I have a sense of reverence and hope to be able to walk away with a win here, and in the end, I have fulfilled my dream of winning at the Blue Castle. Well, I'm the biggest winner. ”

Artful!

It's so ingenious!

A pun on a win, alluding to two different meanings, one is the dream of playing at Blue Castle and the other is the dream of winning at Blue Castle, but it used to be for the Green Bay Packers, and now it is for the San Francisco 49ers. Finish the race with all your might, this is how Lu Ke shows respect and respect.

In an instant, some people in the group of reporters took the initiative to applaud and praised Lu Ke.

Jay Fox was stunned, it wasn't him who applauded first, subconsciously, he turned his head, and then he saw a reporter wearing a Green Bay Packer baseball cap, which should be a reporter from the Wisconsin State Journal, in other words, it was from ...... Endorsement by official journalists?

Jay then began to applaud as well, and then the reporters on the scene applauded.

Between the exchange of eyes between Harry and Lu Ke, calm was restored again, and the first meeting of the new season: Lu Ke wins!

Of course, words are always just words, and only when you really stand on the Blue Castle Stadium and truly feel the green ocean of packer fans can you truly understand why this team can become the most unique and beautiful scenery in the NFL's 100-year history.

Everyone says that to create a team, you have to choose a big city, such as Los Angeles, such as New York, such as Chicago, such a ball market is big enough to be hot enough to support a professional team and be able to stand in the professional league, but Green Bay, which is just a small county with a population of 100,000, has given birth to one of the greatest teams in the NFL.

Founded in 1919 as the Green Bay Packers, it is the third-longest team in league history after the Arizona Cardinals and Chicago Bears, and the only non-profit team in the NFL that is jointly owned by the public.

From the very beginning, the team has formalized its not-for-profit tradition, and in order to continue the operation of the team, they have issued shares five times in history to raise funds.

The first funding took place in 1923, followed by a second and third funding in 1935 and 1950 to prevent the team from leaving Green Bay due to financial problems.

It was still the old era of the stock exchange, when all the residents of Green Bay poured out of their nests and thousands of people lined up in front of the stock exchange.

Even though they knew that the shares would not pay dividends, even though they knew that buying the shares would not give management power, and despite the limit of 200 shares per shareholder at the time of the third financing, it did not detract from their enthusiasm and support, and the residents of the city showed 100% loyalty, continuing that old and long tradition year after year, fully supporting the team.

In 1997 and 2012, the team raised funds for the fourth and fifth times, but the main group of stock buyers is still the local residents of Green Bay.

In this city, every resident has the blood of forest green, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

As Lu Ke said, this is a team with a fascinating team culture and fan cohesion.

The Green Bay Packers are a founding member of the National Football Federation (NFC), which has won the league 13 times in its history, the most in the league, nine of which came from the pre-Super Bowl era, four in the post-Super Bowl era, and most recently in 2010.

Even counting the Super Bowl era, in just 46 years, the Green Bay Packers have made the playoffs 27 times, won the division 14 times, and have four Wendy Longbottom Cups, all of which is enough to make the Green Bay Packers into the top ranks and become an integral part of the NFL, alongside teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots and New York Giants!

There are countless successes and ups and downs about this team's long history, they have one of the greatest coaches in league history, Wendy Longbottom, they have one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history, Brett Favre, and after the millennium, they also have one of the league's top elite quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers.

Needless to say, this is one of the most important teams in the league.

Today, the San Francisco 49ers will face a team with a rich heritage and culture at Blue Castle in Green Bay.

When Lu Ke stepped on the lawn of the Blue Castle Stadium, the overwhelming forest green was vented in a mighty way, and the bright gold was like a swimming dragon wantonly and flamboyantly passing through it, setting off wave after wave of turbulent waves, enough to accommodate 80,000 spectators, the Blue Castle Stadium was like every home match day: it was full.

Witnessing the Rose Bowl of 100,000 people, and also witnessing the Cindelabra Stadium of 70,000 people, it seems that you should not be shocked by the grandeur and grandeur of the Blue Castle Stadium, but deep down it is different after all, just like the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers arrived at Staples Stadium and the fans of Real Madrid came to the Bernabeu Stadium.

What's more, the support from 80,000 fans is like a storm.

"Up! Packer, on! （GO！ YOU-PACKERS-GO！ ）”

"Up! Packer, on! ”

Over and over again, neatly aligned, the boundless green is like a vast forest, growing and spreading vigorously and wantonly on the surface of the blue earth, and it seems that no sound can be heard in the ears, and only the waves of shock can be felt in the depths of the soul, like a heavy fist, smashing down.

Bang bang bang.

Involuntarily, the heart began to beat with it, and there was a gurgling sound from the eardrums, and the blood began to boil, making people want to shout, roar, roar, and go crazy together. After all, the power of one person is weak and insignificant, but after the power of 80,000 people is twisted into a rope, it is enough to shake the whole world.

At this moment, the Blue Castle Stadium is beautiful and thrilling, and all languages lose their color in an instant.

"Hey, man. Come back to your senses. A hand reached over, snapped his fingers in front of Lu Ke, turned his head, and then he could see Aaron Rogers' handsome face, with a playful smile, and his eyes brightened slightly, "How about it, do you want to consider transferring to play in Green Bay?" I think we can do that now. ”

In the previous professional bowl, Lu Ke met with Rogers.

As the legend goes, he is very distant, he pays great attention to personal privacy, and avoids small talk or conversation as much as possible outside the court, Lu Ke and Drew Blis, Tony Romo and others went to the bar, but Rodgers did not appear.

However, Rogers is not a difficult person to get along with, Lu Ke talked to him a few words during the skills competition and the Pro Bowl, and unexpectedly, he is a person who likes to tell bad jokes.

Then Briss could see Rogers and Lu Ke sitting next to him chatting awkwardly, and he only did it for less than a minute before he was defeated and fled, ignoring the mischievous glint in the eyes of these two people.

When we meet again, it's time for the official arena.

"I still prefer to be across from you, not behind you." Lu Ke came back to his senses and said with a smile.

Rogers spread his hands and smiled, "At least it's worth trying." ”

Then, the two turned their heads to look at the referee, witnessed the trajectory of the coin tumbling up and down, and finally determined that Lu Ke guessed the head, so the San Francisco 49ers took the lead in attacking, and the Green Bay Packers chose the field close to the right.

Rogers and Lu Ke shook each other's right hands, pulled hard, bumped their shoulders, and said to each other, "Good luck!" Then he turned around and left, and the first game of the 2012 season finally started.
