Colin Kapnik absently fiddled with the fork in his hand, puncturing the potatoes in the dinner plate, a complete boiled potato, and now it has become a horse honeycomb. The young man facing diagonally drifted past. Among the western faces, the eastern face and the short black hair were particularly conspicuous and dazzling.
What's more, he is not alone now. On the other side of his face, sitting on another oriental face, the two people talked with laughter and talked with each other. In the rugby training base, such a scene is like seeing the aurora at the equator, which is really dumbfounding and unsuitable.
"Colin?" Kendall-Hunter raised his knife and fork and waved, "Hey, man, what are you doing? There is still a lot of training in the afternoon, you are planning now Do you control your weight? I remember that the fitness coach said that your weight is too low and you must add carbohydrates. "
This year's draft conference, the San Francisco 49ers selected a total of ten rookies, including two six-round picks and three seven-round picks. Kendall is one of ten rookies who is the running back.
According to the unwritten rules of the team, before the regular season, rookie players must sit in a fixed area. Unless they are approved, they are not allowed to sit together with senior players. This is not an iron rule, but in the pre-season training camp, it is convenient for the old players to "train" the rookie rookies.
Kendall ’s call made Colin recover, but apparently, Colin did not hear Kendall ’s words, but said to himself,
Do n’t you think this is ridiculous? Why can he be interviewed by reporters? And the reporter also came to the team ’s restaurant? Did n’t this break the team ’s rules?

"What rules?" Kendall asked in a puzzling way.
Colin waved irritably, "I don't know, anyway, anyway. Are they worried that this reporter is a spy? Come over and spy on our training secrets?"
Rookie players, from a positive perspective, that is the team's hope for the future; from a practical perspective, it is a group of unknown pawns who must prove themselves.
Before the start of the official season, even the first round of the show, there is not necessarily a reporter coming to interview. Generally speaking, only the top pick, top spot show, and Tanhua show are the focus of media attention. Other rookies, in the eyes of reporters, are Same, no difference.
However, that Chinese quarterback, on the first day of signing, the reporter went to the door to start an interview, and also got the team's approval? This is simply ridiculous!
Kendall laughed awkwardly, "You are a funny guy." Obviously, he did not take Colin's words seriously, and thought it was a joke.
Responding in this way, Colin was depressed and suffocated. He rolled his eyes angrily, and then caught a figure in his eyes. Alton Smith, the San Francisco 49ers first-round show this year.
Putting it on any team, regardless of whether people agree or not, but the first round of the show is the focus of thousands of favorites, not to mention, Alton Smith is the seventh round of rookie in the first round, ranking in the top ten, attention It is even hotter. In comparison, Colin is a second-round pick, and the level of attention is directly discounted by half.
Alton, like a little sun, naturally became the center of rookie players. Although Colin is the quarterback and the brain of the team; but Ardon is the linebacker and is also the leader of the defensive group. After all, it is still unmatched.
Under the eyes of all eyes, Al Dong walked to the Chinese quarterback, put the dinner plate next to it, and greeted him actively. The two shook hands, slammed their shoulders, slapped their backs, talked and laughed, and their expressions looked very good. Intimately, Ardon even greeted the reporter, and then said "I won't disturb you anymore", and turned away with the tray.
disturb?
A string in Colin's head was immediately pulled to the extreme. "Boo" stood up at once, which surprised Kendall. "Colin? What's wrong?"
But Colin ignored him and took a big step forward. Kendall recovered and quickly shouted, "Colin!" Before exiting, and worried about his loud noise, he quickly lowered his voice, this is the one With a little time difference, Colin has left the rookie area and walked in the direction of the gathering of old players.
Kendall looked at Colin's far away inexplicably, his eyes collided with Lu Ke. Lu Ke showed a friendly smile, Kendall also returned a friendly smile, turned his head, mumbled, did not know what Colin was going to do.
Without any hesitation, Colin aimed at a player: Parys-Haralson.
During the offseason this year, San Francisco 49 people carried out a major cleansing inside and out, and seventeen players were released in one go. The entire player list has undergone a major shuffle. Therefore, there are not many veterans left on the team, and Paris is one of them.
In fact, Pares was a 2006 draft player and only stayed on the team for five years. At that time, he was only a five-round pick. As an outside linebacker, his career performance was average and he has not entered the professional bowl. , And have not entered the first team and second team of the United States, basically the same as the draft pick.
However, Pares is a charismatic player with a bright personality, willing to make friends, a brother and a brother.
After the team's major cleansing, the team is in turmoil. On the other hand, they have to face the challenges of the new coaching team. Jim Hubble is an absolute iron-fisted coach; on the other hand, they have to face the rookie rookies. Shock, there is also the running-in after free agents and unsuccessful rookies.
Veteran players need a representative to maintain discipline and organize activities. Pares itself is a veteran-level player, and he is more than his senior players; coupled with Parez's personality and style, so the old players have formed a team centered on him.
"Colin, you should know that first-year students are not allowed to enter this area at lunch time." Pares was chatting with his teammates, and when he looked up, he saw the team's main quarterback, young and full of face. gas.
"I know." Colin said neatly, and then turned to look in the direction of the rookie area. "But I also know that the rookie should not be interviewed by reporters alone, and it is still at lunch time."
Following Colin's direction, Paris looked over and then saw Lu Ke, who was talking to the reporter. Among the bustling crowd, it was not difficult to find him. Not only Pares, but other veteran players also turned their heads and cast their curious eyes--
To be honest, for the entire league, Chinese players are like giant pandas:
What is his strength? Can he really fight the intensity of professional games? How does he get along with the team and how to get along with the players? What impact will cultural differences have? Even as a substitute, will he drag the team back? Will he become the focus of attention of reporters, so that the focus of the game is blurred? Will he be the target of other teams?
Everything is fresh, everything is negative, everything is strange. They are like little mice doing experiments. When they are curious, they always bring some exclusion. Rookie players want to win the recognition of the veterans, this is not an easy task, if it is a Chinese player? It is even more difficult.
"This rookie obviously has not received the shock education of the team, and I don't know if it is high. Is it allowed?" Colin continued to add fuel.
Due to the large-scale rotation of the team this year, the whole team has added a large number of strange faces, so that the veteran players' prank tradition of rookie rookies also seems to have weakened. Although it has been said that in the past three months, the players led by Pares have given a few lessons to ten rookie players, but the strength and intensity are not worth mentioning.
However, Colin's words also make sense: this rookie who just joined today is still a long way from a real 49-player player and needs to catch up.
Paris looked at his friends and said with a smile, "How are you ready to be a mentor?"
In three months, the integration of the 49-person team has been basically completed. The original veteran players and the transferred senior players have gradually become familiar with them. The intensity of current pranks is naturally not comparable.
A meaningful smile appeared on everyone's face.
Suddenly, Paris raised his head and looked at Colin who was snickering. "Also, it seems that your course has not been learned. Before the regular season, no cross-border is allowed, it is not allowed, nothing is allowed. "Colin's smile suddenly stiffened in the corner of his mouth." Immediately, I stood on my knees and started now. "
Colin stared blankly at Pares, unable to say a word, and then saw the joke of other players beside him. Colin gritted his teeth and fell down on his stomach, and he started to stand up and down on the spot.
In an instant, Colin became the focus of the entire restaurant, and even Lu Ke and Lin Shuyuan turned their heads, unknown.
"It's him. It's him. It's him." Colin gritted his teeth in his throat every time he fell to his feet. If it weren't for the guy, he wouldn't have fallen to such a point. This account, one by one, must be calculated in the future.
"Don't you care? What happened in the end?" Lin Shuyuan looked at Colin in surprise, looked around, but found that everyone had a common expression, and in the eyes of the old players, you could see gloating.
Lu Ke just shrugged. "In the American sports arena, rookies are always subject to all kinds of tricks. There is nothing new."
As a Chinese quarterback, elementary school, middle school, university, and similar pranks, he will experience one time after another, from the initial anger and resistance, to the subsequent dullness, depression, rebellion, and then to the invisible , And even clever counterattack, he has long been a child.
"Then you ..." Lin Shuyuan thought of it at once, after all, he is also a Chinese American living in the United States.
Lu Ke smiled, "I guess it's my turn now."
Lin Shuyuan somewhat doubted his eyes: why did he think Lu Ke was eager to try?
