The two weeks are fleeting, especially during the exam season.
For the Brown Bears athletes, this is undoubtedly a painful and painful period. They would rather spend eight hours on the court, training arduously, rather than spend an hour sitting in the library to fight the textbooks . Unfortunately, they have no choice. The team's daily training only takes two hours. At other times, they must return to student status and be seriously involved in daily learning.
At the end of the exam week, every student on the entire campus was greatly relieved, cheering wildly, celebrating wildly, not only because Christmas is coming, but also a rare holiday time; also because the Rose Bowl is about to Held two weeks later, this is an annual carnival for any UCLA student—because the Rose Bowl, where the event is held, is their home stadium.
Conventionally, the Rose Bowl is held on January 1 of each year. If this day happens to be Sunday, then the competition will be postponed by one day and held on Monday, January 2-mainly to avoid the Sunday worship of the church.
Three days ago, the tournament organizing committee officially announced the two teams this year. According to the rules and regulations, each team is selected by the Pacific Twelve School League and the Ten Big League, not necessarily the champion, but to make judgments based on the team's performance, performance and schedule strength, and then send out an invitation.
In the end, it was the UCLA Brown Bears that represented the Pacific Twelve School League, and the University of Wisconsin Badgers represented the Ten League.
This will be the Brown Bears playing in the Rose Bowl again after eleven years. At the same time, the Badgers will appear on the Rose Bowl stage again after ten years. Both teams have returned to the stage after many years, highly anticipated.
It is worth mentioning that on January 1, 1999, the two sides of the Rose Bowl were the Brown Bears and the Badgers. At that time, the Badgers were in full swing. They won the Rose Bowl for two consecutive years in 1999 and 2000, and won the championship for two consecutive years. Among them, defeated in 1999 is the opponent who will face again this year, the Brown Bears.
For the Brown Bears, this game is naturally of great significance. Not only is it the first time in the 21st century to return to the Rose Bowl, but it is also a great opportunity to defeat the strong enemy and win the Rose Bowl again! After the Trojans, this time it is the Badgers' turn? The Bruins supporters are now full of confidence.
After the end of the exam week, the entire campus has entered the holiday carnival mode, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of Christmas, of course, more importantly, the arrival of the Rose Bowl showdown!
The Brown Bears have entered the stage of intense preparation. Every player is full of enthusiasm and full of intentions. From freshman to senior, without exception, the Rose Bowl is their ultimate stage, equivalent to the NCAA super. Bowl-at least for the Pacific Twelve Schools Alliance!
Above the Rose Bowl, top scouts throughout North America will come to the scene, not only the rookies who hope to participate in the draft this year, but also a rare stage for self-exhibition for freshmen and sophomores; In the past, players who haven't entered the professional league will use this stage as a farewell to their careers. This can't be more perfect.
Therefore, every member of the team made every effort to complete every day's training meticulously, showing unprecedented enthusiasm! Lu Ke is no exception.
It was another early morning, another 10,000 meters, and a fixed route, but this time it was different.
In the process of running at a constant speed, Lu Ke suddenly started to speed up, and within a short 100 meters, he made a strong sprint in a full force. This is not a 100 meters out of 10,000 meters, but a pure 100-meter sprint. The state of the muscles and the rhythm of breathing are a challenge to the body. After completing one hundred meters, they cannot stop, but continue to invest in a jog at a constant speed-a real jog. Such a run, the speed of physical exertion far exceeds the imagination.
Even though Lu Ke successfully completed the daily training in the past two weeks, it is clear that his body still has not been able to fully adapt to the heavy burden of this variable speed running. He needs more training and more persistence.
After 10,000 meters were completed, Lu Ke gasped heavily, slowed down, adjusted his breath, and slowly walked toward the locker room. But what is certain is that the yoga practice in the past two weeks has an important effect on the adjustment of breathing and rhythm. However, the effect it exerts is still limited, and it needs more time to settle.
Entering the indoor passage, Lu Ke moved steadily, his muscle soreness slowly recovered, which was a great improvement over two weeks ago. It doesn't feel like it has completed 10,000 meters, but 50,000 meters.
It was already 7:15, and the players arrived at the training ground one after another. When they passed by, they greeted Lu Ke one after another. Everyone's face was filled with a bright smile, looking forward to a new day of training. It can be seen that the influence of the rose bowl is going deep into every moment of their lives.
At the end of the player's passage, you can see the treatment room, gym, bathroom, tactical meeting room and other spaces after the turn, then the coach's office, ice bath, examination room and so on. At this time, a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the coach's office and discussed vigorously. The spirits were flying and rubbing their hands, and the whole lively atmosphere was like spring / day three or four months ahead of time.
But among them, there was a small group of people with serious faces, frowning, and full of frustration. Several of them were familiar with faces. Marcus kept shaking his head, his expression obscure; John sighed with his hands on his arms, There always seemed to be something to say but couldn't express it; Logan standing next to him was a fiery temper, constantly shaking his head, whispering, "This is wrong, this is wrong ... Christ, How is this possible? This is ridiculous? "
"Bambi!" John shouted when he saw Lu Ke, his expression suddenly froze, almost as if hell.
Immediately afterwards, everyone turned their heads in unison and watched the landing with a daze, Logan greeted him with an arrow stride, said panicly, "Bambi, you ... you finished 10,000 meters today It ’s faster than yesterday. It seems that your training is working well. "
Lu Ke chuckled, "What's wrong with you, why do you seem to see aliens?" He patted Logan's chest, "I don't mind you as my coach, responsible for timing every day. , My watch can be retired. "
For the 10,000-meter running performance, Xiaoqi is recording every day. As long as Lu Ke is willing, he can transfer the record to see if his training is effective.
This was originally a joke, but Logan didn't laugh today, only twitching the corner of his mouth, not smiling. Lu Ke raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter with you?" But instead of thinking about it, he walked between them, stopped at the office door, and looked at the list posted on the door.
This is a list of players, including the starting list and the substitute list.
With only one week left before the Rose Bowl game, the coaching staff must announce the starting list, and then arrange for the main players to start further tactical running and targeted training.
This time their opponent, the Wisconsin Badgers, is by no means good. They have scored ten wins and two losses in the top ten league games and ranked second at the end of the season. They are one of the most powerful offensive fire teams this year. One, scoring up to 43 points per game, scoring more than 70 points in three games!
Of course, their loss is one of the league's worst teams. It can be said that this is a luxury warship that relies on offense to win the game. For the defense team of the Brown Bears, the task is arduous.
Standing in front of the list, Lu Ke still searched for his name in alphabetical order. The list of surnames beginning with "L" was very limited. Looking down all the way, Lu Ke didn't see his name, which made him stunned and unconscious. I watched it again, and it turned out that it still didn't.
Looking away from the starting list, he was skillfully searching in the bench list, and then he successfully found his name, "Lu, Ke, quarterback", the same position, as in the past five months, there is no any Variety.
Lu Ke was so stunned for a moment. He truly believed that he had proved himself in the last game at the end of the season, which was enough to make him the starter of the Rose Bowl game; but unfortunately, he was disappointed. The quarterback on the starting list is still Kevin Price, and he and Darius Bell are still the backup quarterbacks.
The moment of loss, dragged his ankle, pulled down hard, and the suffocation that struck him made him a little confused.
"Sorry, man." John's voice rang in his ear, full of regret and sigh. He raised his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally landed on Lu Ke's shoulder, gently squeezing it, but it weighed heavily.
They all know.
Lu Ke didn't respond, but stood on the spot, staring at the list with a stunned look. The intricate taste on the tip of the tongue is almost indistinguishable, and the entire chest just feels empty and untouched.
Turning around, Lu Ke saw the teammates fighting side by side. Marcus stepped forward, trying to express his comfort, but didn't know what to say, but murmured a vague "sorry"; Logan He lowered his head heavily, kicking the corner unwillingly without saying a word; other teammates also cast their sights, pity, sympathy, disappointment, anger, regret ...
Lu Ke gently twitched his lips, showing a smile, but it was so bitter, "I am preparing for basic training, is anyone willing to join me?" After finishing, Lu Ke quickly left the coach's office. Scope.
Watching the back of Landing leaving, Logan kept shaking his head, "This is unfair! This, unfair!" No one responded, and the answer was only a sigh of silence.
