Fans, girls, journalists...... Wave after wave, after landing at Honolulu Airport, there is no breathing room at all, and people deeply feel the enthusiasm and madness of the professional bowl in all aspects; At the same time, it also makes people deeply feel the high degree of professionalism and commercialization of the NFL.

A series of dazzling interviews came to his face, and Lu Ke was a little overwhelmed.

However, Lu Ke couldn't tell the specific reason in detail, whether it was because of the punishment after the failure of "Special Mission: The Glory of the Nations League Champion" - "Resentment Paparazzi Skill Index Dropped by 30% in the Offseason"? Or is it because the brain is crammed with soldiers just after the plane landed?

The whole feeling is very strange, the brain seems to be blocked, like a traffic jam during the rush hour, the reflex of rebuttal and resentment has slowed down the pace, and it is always a beat slower to remember, how to answer the question just now is more clever. It's a really tiring feeling of being constrained.

Fortunately, the professional bowl was about to be held, the atmosphere of the party celebration at the scene was already strong, and the reporters' questions were not too difficult, which allowed Lu Ke to survive.

"Good luck!"

The reporter's voice came, Lu Ke exhaled lightly, and it was finally over, but before he could take a step away, a voice shouted again, "Wait, the last question." ”

"Lu Ke, may I ask if Kyle Williams' drop in the touchdown zone above the federation final was the turning point of the team's defeat? Or was Parres Harrrelson's missed tackle the direct cause of the team's loss? ”

The questioner was Harry Waynes, the haunted Harry Waynes.

It is worth mentioning that Harry did not mention that Akens missed a free-kick or Aldon's defensive mistake in the final moments, only Williams and Parres. The former was reduced to a wide receiver on the bench in the second half of the season, and the fatal mistakes at critical moments buried the team's countless efforts; The latter has always had a bad relationship with Lu Ke, and there are more or less rumors inside and outside the team.

Lu Ke's current brain speed is a little unable to keep up, the words of resentment are stuck in his throat, but he can't say it, this sense of grievance can't be swallowed and can't be spit out, his first thought is to put up his middle finger and refute it fiercely, but the remaining reason tells him that this will not solve the problem, but will continue to fan the flames.

"According to you, the winner is enjoyed by a player, and the defeat is borne by a player?" Lu Ke kept smiling, but the mockery and banter in his expression did not hide it at all, "We are a unit, victory is the result of our joint efforts, and defeat is not the fault of a particular player, we lost to the team that performed better, that's all." ”

The aftermath of that defeat came back to mind.

Williams knelt on his knees with his lost back, Logan cried helplessly, Justin was grief-stricken and sad, Willis apologized with bitter helplessness, and Arkens was unwilling to be happy...... And the sea of red that is getting more and more turbulent and boiling, everything is so vivid, but also so bitter and sour.

Even Pares is no exception.

After the game, Lu Ke unexpectedly saw Pares hiding in the corner of the stands, secretly wiping away his tears, looking at the New York giants who were wantonly celebrating the victory, and was reluctant to leave. That anger and unwillingness, will not lie.

Lu Ke and Pares have never been friends, and they can even be said to be inseparable enemies. But standing in the team, they are partners who fight side by side, for the Super Bowl, for dreams, for self-worth, and ...... In order to win, they did their best, without reservation, but they ended the curtain before the finish line, which they could hardly accept.

Now, their efforts and struggles have become a gimmick to concoct news in Harry's mouth.

How cheap and ridiculous.

Straightened his waist, Lu Ke responded without humility or arrogance, his eyes showed a look of disdain and ridicule, these reporters will never be able to understand the true meaning of competitive sports, in addition to victory, the friendship of fighting side by side is also irreplaceable, but for them, after all, it is just a series of interests.

But Harry was clearly not going to stop there, even in the face of Lu Ke's gaze, he still chased after him, "You mean, you don't blame Williams and Hararlson for burying the team's efforts for a whole season." ”

In an instant, the foul mouth has already come to the mouth.

All the arguments and logic, all the rationality and thoughts, all turned into a mess, just a simple and rude reflex, the beast's instinctive/energy reaction, Lu Ke can clearly feel that the punishment for the failure of the special mission is now in play. It was a terrible feeling, and he didn't like it.

"No, I won't." There was no clever rebuttal, and there was no superfluous explanation, Lu Ke simply replied neatly, since he was tied, it was better to be simple and clear.

Then, Lu Ke raised his feet and was about to leave, but Harry's words rang out again, like a shadow, and the ghost lingered, "Haven't you thought that if Kyle Williams hadn't dropped the ball once......"

This time, Harry was not able to finish, because Lu Ke raised his right hand high, raised a finger, and responded positively, like a loud slap in the face, cutting off all the follow-up words.

At the same time, without pause, he dragged his suitcase, greeted Watt, and swaggered away from the interview with the other players, but the raised right hand never let go, standing up straight and straight, like a green pine.

That's a middle finger.

Standing in place, Harry's face was cloudy, and he couldn't believe that Lu Ke had responded so simply and rudely.

Turning his head, Harry could see the gloating gaze of his colleague, like arrows, projected from all directions, stabbing hard at the surface of his skin.

……

"Ignore those guys." Watt tried to comfort Lu Ke, but his words were too clumsy, and he really couldn't find the right words, so he could only say so dryly.

Lu Ke put away his right hand, looked at Watt, and showed a brisk smile, "You know what? A friend told me that journalists are like crows, croaking endlessly, and if you take care of them, they will be even more excited, and they can't stop one after another; The best course of action is to ignore it. ”

Watt frowned slightly, looking Lu Ke's expression up and down, he was not quite sure, whether Lu Ke was joking or serious, and he didn't know how to react for a while, so he honestly held his breath and didn't dare to talk nonsense easily; Then you could see the smile in Lu Ke's eyes blooming little by little, and he reacted half a beat slower, and laughed dumbly.

"I remember, you're from the journalism department, right?" Watt only then relaxed and asked with a smile.

Watt is really an honest man, and even the nonsense jokes are taken seriously.

Lu Ke nodded happily and said seriously, "Yes." In fact, what our professor said. ”

Watt actually nodded in understanding, which made Lu Ke's smile brighter and brighter.

"Welcome! Welcome! JJ-Watt, Lu Ke! Welcome! ”

While speaking, there was an enthusiastic shout in front of Lu Ke and Watt, and the two of them raised their heads, and then they could see a dark-skinned man, not tall, with a thin figure, but a large number of tattoo totems could be seen outside the short-sleeved top, which looked heroic and refreshing, and took the initiative to meet him.

The man stretched out his hands and made a gesture of shaking hands, "I'm Kai-Tie, a staff member of the NFL's Hawaii office, and I'll be in charge of hosting you today." After shaking hands, following his gestures, you can see a bus with the word NFL on it waiting next to the stop sign.

"There were twelve players on the flight from San Francisco, right? Now that you've arrived, all the players on our bus have arrived. Kai Tewi spoke at a very fast pace, leaving little room for a stitch to be seen, and gushing.

As he spoke, Kai Tiwei had already helped Lu Ke and Watt put their luggage in the luggage compartment under the bus, and then guided the two of them towards the front door.

"Each team has sent your travel information to the league to arrange pick-up services as much as possible, and the people of Hawaii are sincerely saying that welcome to Honolulu! Everyone is looking forward to the Pro Bowl this time. ”

A simple explanation, in an instant, all doubts were answered: why did the fans wait at the door early, why did the Hawaiian girls have a welcome ceremony, and why did there be a special team at the airport to pick up the plane? Why are journalists aware of their private itineraries?

Obviously, the Pro Bowl is also an important cooperation project for Hawaii, and they must do their best to cooperate with the league. It can also be seen from the side that the entire business operation model of the NFL has matured, and after the segmented division of labor and cooperation, all aspects can be fully taken care of.

"This time there are three flights, a total of thirty-two players, you are the last two, we can go to Waikiki Beach now, and then you can move freely." "If you want, you can go surfing or sunbathe on the beach; Of course, if you want to train, we also arrange special vehicles to travel between the training ground and the hotel. ”

During the skillful introduction, Lu Ke and Watt followed Kai Tiwei onto the bus.

The San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans players had not yet fully seated themselves, bustling with jokes, the scene was extremely lively and chaotic, but suddenly a cold atmosphere spread, all the sounds faded away with great clarity, and then the whole bus fell into silence, and everyone's eyes began to roam back and forth over the two figures.

Cam-Newton and Lu Ke.
