Sawyer was like a donkey, and he slammed into Lu Ke's arms. A spring-like laughter sounded in his ears. The body that dragged and landed Ke kept swaying and slamming. Slapstick or mock football training.
Immediately afterwards, you can hear Luke chattering in his ears, happily depicting the anecdotes that just happened outside. The cheerful and sharp voice is like the crow and the sparrow simultaneously screaming. sentence.
"Hey, you two! How can you treat Bambi in this way? He is now the most precious person in the entire team." Arkens blinked at the landing, deliberately with a serious expression, Scolded at the two little guys.
Lu Ke's smile bloomed, "It is because of the most precious, so it is necessary to get close, isn't it?" Such a response made Arkens also smiled, "Haley? Why not bring it together? What about it? "Hayley is the youngest daughter of Arkans and a little sweetheart.
"She and Erika are behind. Seeing the pink bicycle, she is reluctant to leave." Erica is the wife of Arkans. When she mentions her family, his face flows. Feel tenderness, "rest assured, she will definitely come over in a while, she still remembers Uncle Bambi."
Small details can be seen from the side. Lu Ke and the Akens family are very close, and the three young children are no strangers to Lu Ke. Celebrating this year's Super Bowl championship, Arkens hosted a small party at his home. Lu Ke was one of the few players who received an invitation.
For kickers, their entire career has been wandering. When the team needs to adjust the salary cap, when the team needs to adjust the fifty-three roster, when the team needs to lay off, the kicker is often the first position to be considered, very few players can Throughout their entire career in a team, they are like gypsies, always wandering.
Take Arkans as an example. After losing in 1997, he switched between the two teams but failed to stay. Even the training team had no place. After entering the Washington Redskins in 1998, within two years Three teams have been replaced-this does not include those teams that are on trial training. If it is a trial training, it may stay for a month or two and then leave quickly. You must pack your bags before the name and face are up. Too.
Therefore, the players often keep a certain distance with other teammates. Sometimes, some players even despise the position of the kicker and refuse to make a deep connection; and the kickers are naturally reluctant to use their hot faces to stick to other people's cold farts.
As a 15-year veteran of the League, Arkens was naturally accustomed to the warmth of humanity. When he left the Philadelphia Eagles and joined the San Francisco 49ers, he realized that there was not much left in his career, so he got along with the players. At the time, Arkens was more or less reserved.
Lu Ke is one of Arkans's few teammates who can be called a "friend".
"Haley hasn't always remembered to practice shooting on the actual field? Let her try it later." Lu Ke's child relationship is particularly good, and he can be together with the children wherever he goes. Xiao Maotou is very close to Lu Ke-it seems that now, Lu Ke and Arkens are chatting, Luke and Sawyer are around the landing Ke, and people who do n’t know think that this is Lu Ke ’s. Children, not Arkans.
Akens waved his hands again and again, "I will say it next time on the family day. Today is the first day of the training camp. Don't disrupt the plan."
"It's just practice shooting. It's a matter of five minutes and ten minutes at most. Believe me, our training will not be delayed." Lu Ke waved his hand. For the children, he always had a little more tolerance.
"I want it too! I want it too!" Luke raised his right hand immediately, "Bambi, as you said last time, you have to practice passing with me! On the real court, it's not my home Garden. "
Lu Ke smiled dumbly and said to Arkens, "Remember our previous bet? I think it is time to fulfill my promise." Then he lowered his head and raised his left palm, and Luke High-five celebrated, "Of course, no problem! We will practice in a moment!"
"Yeah!" Luke clenched his fists and cheered enthusiastically.
Sawyer, holding Lu Ke's thigh, began to raise his head and stared at Landing Ke. This made Lu Ke laugh, and he touched Sawyer's small head hard. "
"Pass! Pass! I want to be like you, and I want to pass!" Sawyer also started cheering with a whimpering voice.
Akens shook his head helplessly, "You will spoil them all like this."
Lu Ke spread his hands deliberately, "I am responsible for being a good person, and I will do everything good; my parents are responsible for being bad people, restraining them from doing anything. Isn't this a social law?" Facing Lu Ke's sophistry, Arkens was also unable to refute, which made Lu Ke laugh with pride.
After slightly condensing his smile, Lu Ke officially said, "Welcome back." There was a pause. "Although this sentence was already spoken last year, it is still the same this year. I'm glad you made this. Decide. "
This year, Arkens will be thirty-nine years old.
In fact, in rugby, the professional life of a kicker is the longest. Although they are often overlooked in the draft stage and in the team; but because they are subjected to relatively few collisions and confrontations Yes, even fewer than quarterbacks, which also allows them to face fewer injuries, the impact of age is reduced to a minimum, and their careers can be extended as much as possible.
Nonetheless, the thirty-nine-year-old is already old for any professional football player, even a kicker.
Last year, Arkans was frustrated by the defeat of the National League finals, he seriously considered his retirement; this year, Arkens retired after winning the Super Bowl, and Randy Moss Like Ray Lewis, they have reached the stage where they must think about Second Life, not only every year, but even after every game, they may think about similar issues.
For Arkans, his career has no regrets.
Six-time professional bowl, two-time All-American first team, four-time All-American second team; the record holders of all players of the Philadelphia Eagles, and also the star kickers of the 75th anniversary of the Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers history The holder of the far free kick record has been determined to be inducted into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame before retiring.
The record for the most free kicks in the league in a single season is maintained, and the record for the most scorers in the league in a single season is maintained; he is also selected to the All-American lineup in the first decade of the 21st century like Ray Lewis. ; Finally, following the San Francisco 49ers won their only Super Bowl trophy.
It is no exaggeration to say that Arkans is the top kicker in the league in the past decade.
If Arkans chooses to retire and turn around now, there is no problem.
When the San Francisco 49ers adjusted their contract during the offseason, Arkans once entered the line of sight. When he came to the team in 2011, he signed a three-year contract worth $ 9 million. In other words In other words, in the third season, Arkans still occupies the three million dollar salary cap, which is a relatively high number for kickers.
From the 2011 season to the 2012 season, Arkans's state still showed a significant decline, with a free kick success rate from 84.6% to 69.0%.
Of course, part of the reason is because the team ’s passing efficiency has improved significantly. Most of the time, Lu Ke ended the attack with a touchdown, which also caused the number of free kicks to fall by more than 30%, which also means that Aken Sri Lanka missed a free kick, then the decline rate of the success rate will be further amplified.
But the instability of the overall state can still be felt.
The San Francisco 49ers also struggled with whether to stay with Arkans, but in the end, they still handed over the decision to Arkans. If he retires, then San Francisco will look for a kicker again; if he stays, then San Francisco will still leave the starting position for Arkans.
Last year, Arkans was absent from the compulsory training camp. Lu Ke and Willis personally visited Arkans, hoping he would stay; but this year it was gone.
Lu Ke still hopes that Arkans can stay and continue to play side by side for a season; but he also knows that the problems caused by injuries and age are definitely not that simple. "Insist on a season", it is very easy to say, but the actual operation is very difficult, it takes ten times and one hundred times to complete.
Now, seeing Arkens appearing again at Candlestick Stadium is like seeing a familiar old friend, so Lu Ke's mood can't help but brighten up.
Arkens also smiled, "I have discussed with Erica, this is the last season. Regardless of the result, I will officially turn around after fulfilling my last year contract with San Francisco. Next, I also I need to start a new life of my own. "
Lu Kezhong nodded his head and expressed his support. "However, before we leave, we still have a lot of work to complete this year. Let us play together for a season again. What do you think?"
"My honor!" Akens extended his right hand and raised it high, which made Lu Ke laugh, and raised his hand and hit it on the palm of Akens, then listened to Ah. Kens said, "Now our bets are officially cleared."
"Buzz."
"Buzz."
There was a loud noise behind him, Lu Ke and Arkens both cast their sights, and then saw a player with a woolen hat and red robe enter the field like a boxer, walked in cheers After the training ground, it was An Kuang-Boulding!
