336 The Uncrowned King
"Lu Ke! Lu Ke! Lu Ke! β
In the player's tunnel, the shouts of scrambling were endless, surging and violently hitting the surrounding walls, quickly bouncing back, overlapping layer upon layer, and after the echoes were superimposed, a pure natural amplification effect was formed, and all the sounds were amplified ten times and a hundred times, like thunder ringing fiercely on the eardrums, so that he instantly lost his ability to judge, and only felt that all the sounds had become a meaningless cloud of vague syllables, buzzing.
In the line of sight, the figures of reporters one after another spread out layer by layer, everyone was frantically rushing forward, trying to get closer, closer, if they could stuff the recorder into Lu Ke's mouth, they would do so without hesitation, as if as long as they did so, they could get first-hand information.
The entire space echoed with the noise and noise of a volcanic eruption, and the faces began to distort as if they were demons in purgatory.
Lu Ke's footsteps couldn't help but pause slightly, the "first" he experienced today is really a lot, the first time he witnessed the home support at the Candlestick Stadium, the first time he won a big victory neatly, and at the same time, it was also the first time to see the scene of reporters losing control-
Such a scene can only appear when interviewing top superstars in the league such as Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers, but today, it is really staged in front of Lu Ke's eyes. His name became a key word that everyone urgently called, like a magic spell, bursting with endless energy between his lips and teeth.
In a trance, Lu Ke actually had an illusion: what they were calling for was not themselves, but another player named "Luke".
Lu Ke subconsciously turned his head and looked for the object of the reporter's call among his teammates behind him, but failed.
Everyone walked up with a giggle, patted Lu Ke on the shoulder, teased the reporter in front of him, and motioned for him to hurry up and be interviewed, even Patrick Willis joked, "Hurry up and be interviewed, otherwise these reporters will be in a hurry, you know, a gentleman can never let his other half wait." β
Lu Ke rolled his eyes speechlessly, looked at his teammates who were collectively laughing, and then came back to his senses and took steps in the direction of the reporters. There were only fifty or sixty reporters in front of him, but the bubbling scene had the illusion of five hundred or six hundred people, spreading endlessly, like a monster with its mouth open, waiting to land a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
"Lu Ke", "Game", "Today", "Team", "How", "Status", ...... Countless voices rang out one after another, and each sentence became fragmented, leaving only syllables one by one, syllables without any meaning, and it was impossible to piece together a complete meaning, let alone be interviewed.
Lu Ke had to raise his hands and press down heavily, "An...... Be quiet! Lu Ke tried to roar, but he was in an excited posture for a long time during the game, constantly arranging tactics and shouting slogans, his throat was a little itchy, and his voice couldn't come out, so he had to adjust it, and roared in a heavy mood, "Quiet!" β
Finally, the reporters in the first half of the episode gradually quieted down; Then, the reporters in the second half of the episode also closed their mouths, and the noisy noise finally returned to calm.
"First question?" Lu Ke picked up a towel, wiped the sweat that slipped down his cheeks, and took the initiative to take on the role of host.
"Excuse me, as a rookie player, what do you think was the main reason for today's big win? Luck? β
Without raising his hand, the first question came to his face, and Lu Ke followed the voice and looked over.
It's a familiar face, and while last week in Philadelphia was just the first time the two men met, Lu Ke was impressed, Sports Illustrated's reporter Harry Waynes. Not because of how kind and cute the other party is, nor because of how sharp and harsh the other party is, but because the other party does not compromise in order to create news explosions.
Since the nineties of the last century, the concept of "entertainment to death" has been proposed, and the uncrowned king has gradually stepped down from the altar, in order to create news, in order to fabricate explosive points, for the sales of magazines and newspapers, and even for the click-through rate on the Internet, reporters have begun to do everything, even at the expense of distorting, misunderstanding, one-sided perspectives, artificially creating gimmicks and detonating the focus, Michael Jackson is the first victim of the media.
At the end of the day, it's about profit.
Driven by sufficient interests, the concept of "entertainment to death" was officially released; After entering the 21st century, under the background of the Internet age, the media of the "headline party" has blossomed everywhere, and a new fast food culture has gradually formed, and truth and facts are no longer the pursuit of the media, but the breaking point, gimmick and focus are.
Even, in order to create news, the paparazzi did not hesitate to deliberately provoke the interviewee, and took the initiative to use the camera to maliciously contradict the interviewee, the best case is that the other party smashed the camera, and even beat the reporter, then this is a headline; If the journalist's head is bleeding, then the front page is ensured, and the advantage of public opinion is also in the hands of the paparazzi.
The "Uncrowned King" has truly entered history.
In the past, Lu Ke was just a student to understand the development of the entire history of journalism; But now, Lu Ke has become a part of it, which is really an interesting thing.
Obviously, Harry Waynes in front of him knows this.
"If so, I'll be going into church starting today and praying that this luck continues." Lu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and responded in a relaxed way.
The reporters couldn't help but chuckle in response, but Harry didn't react much, and then aggressively asked, "After last week's defeat, there were rumors that there was a problem in the team's dressing room, and there was a conflict between the players, and it was against you, do you have anything to respond to?" β
"Nope." Lu Ke's answer was short and crisp, in stark contrast to Harry's lengthy question, so that everyone was a little overwhelmed and stunned for a while.
Harry didn't expect it, he had thought that rookie players were more impatient, more impulsive, or just eager to explain, and there were always flaws to be found in the tirade; Either that or a tough response and a verbal conflict with the journalist. However, Lu Ke in front of him is not like this.
Harry asked, "Are you sure?" Isn't there a conflict inside the locker room? β
"I'm not sure where your source is? However, I think it may be quicker and more direct for you to ask the person who reported the informant. The sarcastic tone hinted that it was a false accusation. This is more comfortable and upright than a direct and positive explanation.
Lu Ke's counterattack was not leaking. Harry felt a little tricky, but he wasn't ready to give up.
As the hottest focus figure in the alliance now, Lu Ke's words and deeds represent the click-through rate, traffic, and interests; When Kurt Warner was born, online news was far from being so developed and its influence was relatively limited, but now under the promotion and dissemination of social networks, the sensational effect of the entire news has reached a higher level, and the benefits are naturally more worth excavating.
"Last year, Tampa Bay Pirates' quarterback Josh Freeman had a great season and now, in you, we can see Freeman's shadow. So, do you think you can continue your current form next year? "Harry's entry point is undoubtedly novel and sharpβ
Rookie players are always like that, with ups and downs, just like Freeman, who was a hero last year and is out of the box this year. The purpose was not to ask questions, but to provoke Lu Ke.
"I'll cross my fingers and pray." Lu Ke raised his hands, crossed his index and middle fingers together, and made a prayer gesture, passing Harry's question in four or two.
"Then you don't have faith?" Harry asked aggressively.
Lu Ke didn't answer immediately this time, but cast his gaze at Harry with a smile, paused for a moment, and then said, "I thought that everyone was more concerned about the content of this game, and now this reporter is already concerned about my next season, for this love and expectation, I sincerely express my gratitude; But I wonder if other journalists don't have questions about the present, about the moment? β
The words were a satire of Harry's urgency.
The other reporters chuckled, and Harry's pupils narrowed slightly, and it was clear that the rookie was even tougher than he thought. At the age of twenty-two, it is really rare to have such wisdom and mind.
Harry's pause failed to continue the question; Another reporter next to him asked a question, "After missing out on the victory last week, this week against the Pirates who are temporarily ranked first in the South Division of the Nations League, the team played a good game, what happened in this week?" β
Jay Fox, who is indeed a friend of Lu Ke, asked clever questions without losing space for answers, closely followed today's topic, and paid attention to the hot focus. Whether it's the defeat in the last game or this week's division top showdown, that's all in focus.
Lu Ke could also sense Jay's good intentions, and a chuckle appeared in his eyes, as if to say: It seems that you have made a lot of preparations?
But there was no pause above his mouth, Lu Ke replied directly, "There is nothing special, the loss last week is a regret for us, and it is also a motivation." We are a very young team, so what we need to do is to use the defeat to inspire the desire to win, to complain about training and then to expect a win and from the results we succeeded. β
replied decently, there was no special explosion and content, but after speaking, Lu Ke added, "Maybe, I don't have to worry about all the media questioning my starting position tonight, thank you for your worries." β
Pause, then, laugh.
