522 On the edge of the cliff

The San Francisco 49ers panicked throughout the team.

Although it is a bit exaggerated to describe it like this, professional teams are already comfortable dealing with all kinds of accidents, how can it be because one player is in chaos; But that's the way it is, there were so many surprises in today's Monday night game that the team was exhausted by just one heavy snowfall.

In the first half of the game, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the team was facing a severe test up and down.

It's not just Lu Ke alone, the state of the offensive group, the defensive group, and the special service group can only be said to be average, and the effect of several abandonments in the special service group is not ideal, giving the opponent a chance to attack back, if it weren't for the Steelers team who didn't seize the opportunity, they might be behind more than three touchdowns now.

If they are playing away from home, facing the cold and cold conditions, they will not be so embarrassed; The problem is that this is a home game, and the plan was disrupted by a heavy snowfall, and after a link went wrong, small mistakes began to appear in all links one after another, small mistakes that were not fatal or serious, and the team began to be busy inside and out.

Then, Lu Ke had a problem, which was like the fuse that detonated all the problems.

……

After the examination, team doctor Walter Hudson brought mixed news:

The bad part is that Lu Ke was affected by hypothermia, and his state and hand felt completely absent, and his body temperature had been slowly declining throughout the first half, because the symptoms presented were not obvious, which did not detect the problem in time, but it did affect Lu Ke's tactical arrangement and passing state.

Fortunately, Lu Ke has no more serious problems for the time being, and there are no obvious flu symptoms at present, as long as the body temperature can be restored to normal in time, then Lu Ke can still continue to play.

"The most important thing now is to get Bambi's body temperature back up." Walter immediately began to arrange, looking left and right, "Bobby, tell the logistics that we need chicken soup, piping hot chicken soup." ”

"Chicken soup?" Bobby Engram was stunned.

Walter nodded repeatedly, "Yes, chicken soup." Bambi needs to be supplemented with nutrients to help the body temperature rise. Quick, what are you doing here? We don't have time and the break is coming to an end soon. As he spoke, Walter became anxious, and Bobby quickly turned around and rushed out of the locker room, disappearing like a tornado.

"Walter? Walter! Lu Ke, who was sitting on the bench, wrapped it into a rice dumpling three layers inside and three layers outside, and then the masseur Lucas Berg also came over quickly, soaked Lu Ke's feet in hot water, and quickly started massaging with essential oils to help Lu Ke recover his body temperature, "Walter, can you give me some hot boiled water now?" You know, it's the boiled water that the Chinese especially like. ”

It's a humorous meme.

Chinese like to drink boiled water, drink hot boiled water after a cold, and like to drink boiled water when entering a restaurant; But in the United States, they don't drink water without taste, it's either juice or cola, otherwise it must be alcohol or coffee, and it's definitely not plain water. It's a cultural difference, and they often joke about it in the team.

Seeing that Lu Ke had recovered his spirit at this time and joked, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Raising his head, Lu Ke saw his teammates surrounding him, and a small number of players standing on the periphery also cast concerned glances from time to time, and there were unfamiliar worries on those familiar faces, like a warm current, slowly flowing through the bottom of his heart.

Lu Ke pulled out a smile, "Spread out, all spread out, I won't take off the last pair of bottoms, no matter how much you tip, it's impossible." This ridicule immediately made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere returned to relaxation.

Lu Ke turned his head to look at Patrick Willis who was standing next to him, "What are you still doing standing here, hurry up and discuss tactics." At the start of the second half, the defensive team came on first, and you had to hold on, otherwise it would be too late for me to come on again. Three, I can still reverse, four, it's a bit dangerous. ”

The disadvantage of three touchdowns, in Lu Ke's mouth, seems to be a piece of cake at his fingertips.

Willis couldn't help but laugh dumbly, nodded, and snapped his fingers, "That's what you said." In the second half, our defensive team will never let them get another touchdown! If you still lose the game in the end, this is your black pot. ”

Lu Ke didn't hesitate, and simply nodded neatly, "Deal!" ”

Willis immediately turned around and shouted, "The defensive team, hey, everyone in the defensive group listen, Bambi just said, the reversal of three touchdowns in the second half was handed over to him, and our task is not to lose points!" In the first half, we were disgraced by the No. 84 beating, and in the second half, we have to teach them a good lesson, otherwise we will think that our second-line defense is an ornament! Do you hear that? ”

"No problem!"

"Bambi has spoken, then no problem!"

'That sophomore, we've got to learn a lesson, I remember, he was mentioned in the previous tactical meeting, he was better at receiving the ball in close defence, and I think we should have upset his physical balance instead of trying to intercept the passing path and change the way we pass the ball and it would have been better.

The defensive group finally started to get lively, while the offensive group remained standing still, and no one turned away.

Jim Hubble stood next to him, frowning, "Walter, are you sure?" Can Bambi definitely play in the second half? ”

"No, I'm not sure." Walter said bluntly, "I'm going to give Bambi an IV now, he has to get some nutrition as soon as possible, and then drink some chicken broth, while Lucas continues to massage and get his body temperature back up as soon as possible." We're in a race against time right now, and everything needs to be speeded up, and faster. ”

"I see." Jim said decisively, "Kip, take Alex out and start warming up; This refers to Alex Smith, and they have to be prepared to do both, "You, yes, that's you, run to the back, no, run to the tactics room, find the team manager Trent, and tell him to hurry up and get the chicken soup here!" Immediately! Right away! Before the start of the second half! I don't care what he does! ”

At this time, it was a caddy, Thomas Robinson, who nodded ignorantly, a little overwhelmed, and then saw Lu Ke's gaze, "Thomas, remember to run faster." ”

Lu Ke still remembers his name.

Thomas nodded heavily, and without saying a word, he turned and rushed out: quick, faster, he had to do his best to go faster.

……

At the end of the halftime break, the San Francisco 49ers players returned to the court, but this time, Lu Ke did not go with him, because his body temperature had not fully recovered, and his limbs were still slightly stiff.

The first wave of offense in the second half was started by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and now the question is, how long will their offense last? Will they be able to score? Free kick or touchdown?

When the Steelers' offense is over, it's time for the 49ers to come on the offensive team, and if Lu Ke can't catch up, then Alex will make his first appearance in the regular season this season.

This feels a little strange for the 49ers up and down, it seems that they are already standing on the edge of the cliff, precarious, and what is even more terrifying is that they are still retreating little by little, and the momentum of the fall seems to be unable to stop. So, will Alex be able to be a lifesaver for them? And can the Lu Ke they are looking forward to create a miracle again?

All is unknown.

The locker room was quiet again, Walter had exhausted all means, intravenous injections, blanket wraps, hot water soothing, oil massage, and the most direct piping hot chicken soup - before the end of the break, the chicken soup was delivered, real chicken soup, and the team also said that there was another bucket of piping hot chicken soup on the way to the Candlestick Stadium quickly, to ensure that Lu Ke would not be short of chicken soup throughout the second half.

Now, we can only wait for all the effects to take effect.

Time, which is the most important and effective method, is also the most missing element of 49 people now.

Bambi, in 1979, at the cotton bowl, Joe Montana led the University of Notre Dame against the University of Houston, and Montana also suffered from hypothermia, trailing by 22 points in the third quarter, but he managed to overcome the odds and complete an epic comeback that became known as the Battle of Chicken Soup. Because Montana used chicken broth to regain body temperature.

Now, we need you to finish this chicken soup battle. ”

Before the team was about to play, Patrick Willis stayed at the end alone, sat in front of Lu Ke face to face, finished his words seriously, and then patted Lu Ke on the shoulder, and then turned around and walked onto the court.

This is not only from the trust of the captain of the defensive team to the captain of the offensive team, but also from the trust of the team's strong leaders to the team's rising stars. At this moment, the San Francisco 49ers were united like never before, and as a rookie player, Lu Ke also completely became one of them.

The locker room was deserted, with only Walter and Lucas accompanying Lu Ke; And on the pitch, the second half of the game is about to kick off again.

Sitting in the studio, Tirrico immediately noticed the changes on the field, of course, a large part of the reason is also because Lu Ke is the absolute focus of the game, so he immediately asked the special reporter John Saccliff about the specific situation.

Saccliff also just got the news from the San Francisco 49ers, "No. 14 quarterback Lu Ke is now facing hypothermia, his body has some adverse reactions, and he has to stay in the locker room to continue treatment." ”

For such a situation, the 49ers are ready for two hands, on the one hand, backup quarterback Alex Smith has completed the warm-up and is ready to play at all times; On the other hand, they are waiting for Lu Ke's recovery to see if he can play again in the second half. Saccliff summed it up simply, "It was a game full of surprises, and obviously the second half will not be quiet either. ”
