How should Ray Lewis be introduced?
It can be simply said that this is a Rugby player whose North American influence is comparable to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, but he is not a quarterback but a linebacker. More importantly, his team It's Baltimore, not a big ball city like Los Angeles or New York. He still created such a glory, even in the entire history, this is very rare.
At the 1996 draft, Lewis was one of the most popular midfielders, but overall, he was not the best linebacker in that draft. Scouts generally believed that Kevin Hardy ( Kevin-Hardy) is the most outstanding linebacker. In the end, Hardy was picked by the top spot, and Lewis was only the fifth lineman to be selected.
Scouts believe that Lewis' speed, grappling ability and defensive hardness are worthy of recognition, but unfortunately, he is not tall and bulky, and the general view is that his potential has reached the ceiling. It is for this reason that Lewis' final draft slipped to the 26th place, the second pick for the Baltimore Ravens.
But after that, the story is different. Kevin Hardy is really good, but it is only a professional bowl and a national team; and Ray Lewis? He became one of the greatest linebackers in history and one of the most iconic leaders of the Baltimore Ravens.
On January 22nd, 2012, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough was cheering and celebrating, they were celebrating the last moment of the escape-the Ravens lost the free kick, and watched the Patriots break in. In the Super Bowl, although the Ravens cut off all of Brady's passing routes, the future Hall of Fame quarterback failed to pass for a touchdown for the first time in nearly 36 games, but in the end it fell short. Too.
At that time, the visiting team's locker room was dead, kicker Billy Condiv, who had lost a free kick of 32 yards, sat desperately on the cold and wet ground of Fox Fox, sobbing low Gnawing at the bones, the whole team lost its way, and even the media reporters lowered their voices involuntarily.
In the end, it wasn't quarterback Joe Flacco but Ray Lewis.
Lewis came to Condif's side and gently patted the 32-year-old veteran's head, raising his voice to all the teammates in the locker room, "I never thought that a ball can determine the outcome of the game. Do n’t bow your head, brother! We win as a whole, and we lose as a whole. "
As the locker room leader, Lewis stepped forward at the most tragic moment and shouldered the weight of the entire team. But he knew that he was thirty-six years old at that time, and he may never have the chance to hit the Super Bowl again.
This is Ray Lewis!
Of course, is Lewis perfect? Obviously not.
As a linebacker, "Raytheon" is the biggest award and pursuit of him, proving his unparalleled dominance on the court, and all the data are top-notch; but as an ordinary person, he and Kobe Bryant The sexual / aggression / offense allegations in 2003 were general, and Lewis was also involved in serious negative news.
In 2000, after the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl at the celebration party, Lewis was involved in a murder in Atlanta.
The two groups of people had a dispute on the street, and after fierce speech, they began to fight each other-Atlanta is a legally held / gun city. After the collision of epinephrine and male hormones, it was a mess, like a fire in hell. All the chaos burned to death, and death came.
Later, some people reported that Lei Lewis was noticed in the crowd, which immediately detonated the gunpowder bank—
The famous running back OJ-Simpson's "wife murder case" even caused a sensation throughout North America, because Simpson was black and his wife was white, which also triggered a riot between the two races The influence continues to this day; the 2017 documentary "Simpson: Made in America" ​​truly restored this event and won the Oscar for best documentary feature the following year.
Now Lewis is involved in the murder case again?
Then the matter entered a long and complicated period of investigation, victory, appeal, and court debate. In the end, Lewis' lawyer and the prosecutor reached a plea bargaining, in exchange for the fact that Lewis made a testimony against his two friends in exchange for his false testimony. This resulted in Lewis being sentenced to one year ’s probation and the NFL League was fined $ 250,000.
Despite this, there are still a lot of complaints circulating in the society, which think that this is a powerful lawyers team, just like Simpson, because the clothes during the Lewis incident were never found, and the police were indeed in the Lewis car. The blood of a deceased person was found here, but Lewis apparently did not fully tell the truth.
All this had a serious impact on Lewis' reputation; since then, Lewis began to evade his words and deeds and spare time, putting all his energy on the court.
Later, Bryant Bryant was in the same predicament. Lewis and Bryant became good friends. He generously opened his arms and gave Bryant a lot of support. He said, "No one can guarantee that he will not make mistakes. . All we need to do is to forget the shadows of mistakes and move in the right direction. "
That year was a mixed season for Lewis. At the Super Bowl, he led the defensive group to completely crush his opponent New York Giants, winning easily with a "35: 7" score, and Lewis was also selected as a super. The bowl's most valuable player is the second linebacker to win such an honor in history; but the subsequent celebration party became a turning point in his career.
After that, Lewis put all his energy on the court and gradually became the most influential rugby player in North America.
While the quarterback dominates all the right to speak on and off the court, Lewis, as a linebacker, has become the leader of the Baltimore Ravens and the entire league, which is a miracle in itself; even more commendable is that in average careers, only three to In the five-year league, Lewis played for seventeen full years, and only played for one team. His achievements and status are also unique in the history of the entire league.
Just put forward the 2000 season Baltimore Ravens defensive group, this is an iron division comparable to the Chicago Bears defensive group in 1985!
In the Chicago Bears defensive group that year, Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary (Mike Singletary) is undoubtedly one of the core figures. The head coach; Singh Tarry is Lewis's idol, and also Lewis' motivation and role model for entering the professional league.
The Chicago Bears ’defensive team set an insurmountable record, averaging 12.4 points per game and zero opponents in four games; and it was the Baltimore Ravens who broke this record in 2000, averaging only 10.3 points per game. The two teams are also known as the top two defensive teams in NFL history.
With just one season of performance, Lewis is enough to go down in history, but this is not all!
Throughout Lewis ’current seventeen-year career, 13 of them have been selected to the Professional Bowl, seven of the first team of the United States, three of the second team of the United States, and became the defensive player of the year twice in 2000 and 2003; meanwhile, he is still in the NFL history The only player on the list who had at least forty sacks and thirty interceptions. On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the league in 2010, Lewis ranked eighteenth in the official ranking of the greatest players.
As an inside linebacker, Lewis's dominance on the defensive front is phenomenal. There is no need to say anything else. Last year and this year's two US Finals, the previous game made Brady invisible in the whole game, the latter The game made Brady exhausted. In these two games, Lewis' top ability can be seen.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lewis' ability on the defensive front is enough to deter any quarterback. At this time, Lewis is already 37 years old. In such a fierce competition and confrontation, it is even more incredible. It can even be said that it has been recorded in history.
But the years urge people to grow old, even the "Raytheon", he can't resist the pain caused by time and injuries. Only at this moment can people feel that Ray-Lewis is still a mortal.
In the 2012 season, when he was against the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth week of the regular season, he was missing due to a torn triceps. After a doctor's examination, Lewis needed to be absent for at least eight to ten weeks; but the media have speculated that Lewis may be in December He returned early in the middle of the year, but he guessed that the time was pushed back and forth, and eventually he did not wait for Lewis ’s comeback declaration, but for his retirement declaration.
"Everyone, although I miss it, I really can't accompany you to the end with my favorite football. The end of the 2012 season playoffs is when I retire."
When Lewis issued the declaration, the entire league and even North America became a sensation. Thor, who had been in the field for seventeen years, was finally tired and was about to stop.
The countless other topics and gimmicks, focus and hot spots are far less shocking than the "Last Battle", so tragic and so touching, this is the last time every fan saw Baltimore Raven on the game field on the 52nd The figure, whether it is like or dislike, whether it is a fan or a foe, everyone is saying goodbye in their own way.
Lewis, with his own efforts, won his respect!
Just this topic is enough to make this Super Bowl different.
