Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the King of the Bay Area!
San Francisco in January can clearly feel the raging and rampant winter, but at this time Candice Swanepoel's nose slightly permeated sweat. The entire candlestick park is overflowing with turbulent heat waves, the sparkling, slightly undulating red ocean can't see the end at all, and the blood-red residual sun in the evening makes the sky, sea and stadium filled with a dazzling and bright halo.
Tonight, at eight o'clock in the evening on West Coast time, the San Francisco 49ers playoff against the Seattle Seahawks is about to start. At this time, there are more than four hours before the start of the official game, but the scene is already crowded.
Candice ’s expression was extremely focused, and she was not affected by the noise and noise of her surroundings. The eyes, which were like blue seas, reflected the dazzling light of the sun, as if they were working on the most important artistic creation in the world. The smile on the corner of the mouth rose up little by little, "Okay! Annie, how do you like it? I think this Jack looks younger!"
Jiang Youning stood behind Candice and nodded with a smile, "I think so."
Lu Zhengzheng, who has become the focus of attention, is still not very used to it. He turned his head awkwardly, "Is it okay to be sure? I always think it is not appropriate."
At this moment, Lu Zhengzheng has two oil paints painted on his cheeks. The left side is the San Francisco 49ers ’team logo, while the right side is a small crown, which looks exactly the standard configuration of a fanatic nine. .
But for Lu Zhengzheng, he was a little uncomfortable. In his heart, he is still an Asian. When he draws these things at his age, he always seems to be unreasonable and untimely; after arriving at the scene today, Jiang Youning also painted oil paint because of the fiery atmosphere of the scene, encouraged by Candice Below, he nodded impulsively, but ... he regretted it now.
"Jack, don't worry, you look great now!" Candice gave a big smile and raised her thumb towards the landing regular while shouting towards the other nine people beside him, "Yes, you What do you think? "
"That's what it is!" Li Miannian started shouting first, and then shouted in Chinese, "Old Lu", which is a nickname between their Chinese-American fans, corresponding to Lu Ke's "little land", kindly for Lu The regular nickname, when they usually want to make a joke, they will call it this intentionally, and then switch back to the English mode, "I am now jealous, come here, give me two!"
This season, the San Francisco 49ers made the playoffs for the second year in a row, and further created an undefeated glorious record in the season. The enthusiasm for the Chinese community to watch the game has reached its highest point in two years. Many live in The immigrant generation who have never known rugby here for many years have also started to learn, and even organized rugby rules learning seminars.
Today is the first game of the playoffs. All the fans came to the candlestick park to cheer. Even if they ca n’t enter the candlestick stadium to watch the game, the big screen outside the stadium is also the best place to feel the game atmosphere at the same time. The number of Chinese fans present in the district has exceeded 20,000.
As we all know, San Francisco is the third largest Chinese city in the United States, second only to New York and Los Angeles; and in terms of population density, more than 20% of San Francisco ’s residents are Chinese. With the addition of Oakland, the number of Chinese in the Bay Area will exceed that of Los Angeles, second only to New York.
After two years of foreshadowing and brewing, the 49 people in San Francisco now have an absolute appeal in the Bay Area. Especially for the Chinese community, they are witnessing history step by step. The pride and pride are beyond description. Even other Asian groups have invested in this wave.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Ke's appeal to the Chinese community in North America now even surpassed Yao / Ming. On the one hand, because of Rugby's unique leading position in the United States; on the other hand, because Lu Ke is making history with a terrifying performance on the field-in the final analysis, competitive sports are still about victory or defeat.
Li Malian was finally no longer alone.
All his dreams and ambitions, all his perseverances and regrets are now realized in Lu Ke's body, even the entire Chinese community has begun to undergo subtle changes-others do not know, but as a middle school football As a coach, he can clearly feel that more and more young people of three generations and four generations of immigrants are starting to join the game of rugby.
Once, his persistence was considered by people to be unruly, and even his family and friends could not understand it, so he silently walked on the path of his dream; now, his dream is being realized step by step Work, his ideals, and his hobbies are all recognized, and every second of life in the present is pleasant and happy.
Turning his head, Li Malian could see the huge faces of Chinese Americans in front of him, all with faces filled with pride and excitement, because of Lu Ke, and because of the 49 people in San Francisco.
Li Malian likes this moment at this moment, either because of a specific thing or because of everything he brought at this moment.
The reason dreams are called dreams is not because of its beauty and brilliance, but because it represents the source of power in life, which makes life tolerable. What's more, the dream must still be there, maybe one day will be realized?
...
"You said that in today's game, can the minimum consumption be achieved?"
"Of course! Is it still called the minimum consumption?"
"However, the team's injury problems are really too annoying. The offensive team has finally recovered its feel, and now it has lost half of it. The front line of the defensive team is also worrying. Other issues are not afraid, they are afraid of injury. disease!"
In the past week, the wild card game is in full swing, and the San Francisco 49ers are also actively preparing for the game. After the intensive confrontation throughout the season, injuries are still inevitable.
Mario Manninghan suffered a knee injury in the final stage against the Arizona Cardinals. He left the court on a stretcher. After an in-depth examination, it was confirmed that the medial ligament of the knee was strained, not too serious. A two-week rest is enough. , But if you want to fight fiercely, you need to rest for at least three weeks or more, and this year's playoffs are completely missed.
Chad Hall sprained his ankle during training. Fortunately, the situation is still within the control range. This game can be played but cannot be started. The specific state still needs to look at the performance after the rotation debut; and Randy- Moss's physical fitness has been problematic since entering the second half of the season. Hubble has been consciously controlling Moss' game time. The playoffs have accumulated more, and it is not sure how long his physical fitness can last.
As the fans said, in the second half of the season, the San Francisco 49ers can win the offensive group of receivers, almost half of the lineup. Now we must return to the three wide receivers of Michael Crabtree, Ted Jean and AJ Jenkins, plus a rotating Randy Moss.
Considering Crabtree still hasn't fully recovered, Moss can't play the whole game, Jenkins is too young, then Jean is also lonely, it is very likely that they will once again passively return to the double near-end tactics In fact, Vernon Davis's status is even more uncertain than Crabtree.
Among the offensive teams, the only good news is that Anthony Davis' injury is completely harmless. He can return to the offensive line to ensure that Lu Ke has a strong pocket.
At the same time, the defensive team also faces injuries.
Not a serious injury that affects the appearance, but a small lingering injury. Justin Smith and Ray McDonald of the defensive front are both old injuries recurring-the San Francisco 49ers played a "3-4" formation this season There are three defensive strikers in total, and now both of the main players are suffering from injuries, which means that their ability to attack the quarterback in the frontcourt and pressure the offensive forward will be tested.
Navoro Bauman of the linebacker line has a shoulder injury. Cornerback Chris Gulliver has been injured in the past two games. In addition, security guards Donte Wittler and Dashan Gold Mori's body is not in the best condition.
Although sports injuries are inevitable, almost every player has more or less injuries; but the exhaustion and overdraft of the winning season are slowly spreading.
The San Francisco 49ers' defensive group is dominated by veterans, and the impact is more obvious; the offensive group is dominated by younger players. Compared with injuries, the fluctuations and adjustments of the state still have a greater impact.
"But I still have faith in us! Because there is a bambi!"
"Rugby is a collective sport. We cannot put all our hopes on Bambi. Bambi is indeed very good, but if the pressure is too great, he is not a panacea! Barbie dolls are all broken!"
"I mean, Bambi is a spiritual leader, and he can still find a solution after all! Believe me, when the receiving team was in a state of ups and downs, Logan was also absent due to a concussion. Bambi was a second-line player. The momentum of the winning streak has continued. If it weren't for Bambi mining, who of us would know that Mario and Chad could be so good? So, it is the same now, Babi must have realized the problem! He won't catch it! "
"That is, not to mention, we are now playing against the Seahawks. We have a psychological advantage! We can definitely beat our opponents easily! The minimum consumption is definitely not what we talk about casually!"
"Anyway, in terms of strength comparison, we are the one that has the upper hand, aren't we? We have won all seasons, but we have worked hard one by one!"
"But ... forget it, just when I didn't say it. I also look forward to our winning! Come on, come on!"
Although the last fan didn't say it, Li Moian knew: But ... this year's upset is too much.
