"I have a friend, John Ward. Don't think about it, you must have never heard of his name. He is my college teammate, and like me, I was a sparring student with normal qualifications. The last season in our university We made every effort to become a substitute player. In the last game of college, we teamed up to complete a 21-point reversal and won that game.
At a certain moment, we really thought we had the world.
But after the season ended, he gave up the draft and found an ordinary job. He is now a car salesman. He wears a suit and tie every day, works regularly, and then pleases his customers, expecting them to open their wallets. The last time we talked, he told me that he missed the days of playing and the days of standing on the court, but he knew that he might never have the chance to come back. "
In the face of Moss's irritability and anger, Lu Ke seems to have gradually become accustomed to it, and has no fear. He tells a story in a calm tone. After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and Lu Ke added , "But you are back."
John Ward.
That name was almost forgotten by everyone, but Lu Ke never forgot it.
Perhaps, now Ward and Lu Ke have chosen completely different lifestyles, but those glorious years have remained in the memory of youth forever, and will not fade or even disappear.
Lu Ke always couldn't help but think that if Ward could also enter the league and also join the San Francisco 49ers, that would be great. The team of UCLA teammates are reunited again, but ... life is life Being able to fight side by side with Logan and Marcus is already a very rare experience, and he should not have more extravagance. The cruelty and blood of the professional arena have never been gentle.
Ward could not return, but Moss did.
To some extent, fate is unfair. Moss has the talent and spirituality that everyone envy, he can arrogantly squander, arbitrarily arbitrarily, arbitrarily and vertically, glowing above this green field, he is trying to chase another great footstep, and he is still behind There are countless dead bones.
After retiring, Moss can still choose to come back and stand on the court in his own way, because God has given him the talent to let him do whatever he wants. Even at the age of thirty-two, even after retiring for a year, the San Francisco 49ers still chose to sign with Moss. This is the eccentricity of the Creator.
"So?" Moss is still unmoved. There are too many similar stories in competitive sports. There are countless. He can't and doesn't need to express his disappointment and pity for a college player who didn't even participate in the draft. .
"So, why did you choose to come back?" Lu Ke returned to the topic again.
This time, Lu Ke kept saying, "Those who desire to come back can never do it; and you choose to come back, but you are splurging on your talents and abilities. I know you still have a keen sense of touch, You can still tear open the area defense, you can still find the advancing route among thousands of troops; however, you can no longer continue to play in the same way as before. "
"Not because you are not 22-year-old Randy Moss, but because 22-year-old Randy Moss has not been able to win the Super Bowl by this way of playing, even in 2007 The New England Patriots did not. "A simple and clear sentence, but stabbed the pain of Moss's wound, cruel and violent, and the blood burst in a flash.
"Grass! Get out! Get away!" Moss was completely irritated, and his mouth was splashing, swearing regardless of the words, and the tablet in his hand straightened and smashed towards the landing.
Lu Ke wouldn't stand stupidly like a wooden pile, and he flicked a little, then he avoided the tablet, and then there was a muffled sound in his ear, and the tablet crashed on the ground clumsily. The glass screen on the surface has been completely broken, and the gravel on the ground has been splashed, but it still can't vent the anger in the heart, and the continuous blunt venting.
Lu Ke did not refute, nor did he leave, but stood on the spot, greeted Mos's gaze with humility.
Moss is crazy, Moss is wanton, Moss is self, he has never changed.
Numerous people have questioned Moss before and after, because he is too reckless, he does not even have half the effort of ordinary players, and the tactical manual has been learned in vain, completely relying on personal talent in playing.
When the aura of light flashed, he could complete an unbelievable catch. Even in the midst of thousands of troops, the touchdown was like finding a bag; but at a crucial moment, the team was not sure if they could believe Moss because he The "inspiration" is really too elusive.
Even during the New England Patriots, Bilicek was always able to ask Moss to follow the established instructions of the tactical manual to reach the passing position, but Moss ’temper and arrogance were still a time bomb, playing for the Minnesota Vikings. This season, the efficiency of the New England Patriots for four seasons, Moss has only played the Super Bowl only once.
The team's reasons cannot be denied, and Moss' own reasons cannot be ignored.
This is also one of the important differences between Randy Moss and Jerry Rice.
In terms of talent alone, Rice cannot compare with Moss. In fact, Rice is one of the most hard-working players. His father is a bricklayer and he was born in a remote and quiet town. Not to mention luxury goods, even liquor / essence and / poison / goods Such pervasive "spiritual food" can hardly be found here, which makes Rice always maintain a simple and dedicated attitude to life.
By the way, Jerry Rice is the legendary reputation of the San Francisco 49ers. He teamed up with Joe Montana and other players to create the San Francisco dynasty in the late 1980s; and after the comeback, Moss chose San Francisco. There is no matchmaking for Rice to play a role.
In the city of San Francisco, Rice is a legend.
Rice still lives in San Francisco, and still maintains a habit since joining the league: almost every day, he will come to the suburbs, jog and climb a hill with a 2.5-mile long slope; He will sprint in the last few hundred yards to exercise his ability to exceed the pain limit.
Rice can repeatedly perform well in the fourth quarter of fatigue, and it is inseparable from such training methods for many years.
Now on the long hillside, there is still a figure of a San Francisco 49 player, but it is not the eighty, but the fourteen
The 80th jersey was officially retired at Candlestick Stadium in 2010.
Before the home game against Buffalo Bill this week, Lu Ke still started his full-day training with the 10,000-meter variable-speed running according to his life habits. The rhythm has been raised, further challenging the limits of the body, which has gradually become Lu Ke's warm-up method.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ke met Jerry Rice.
Rice, who has just turned 50 this year, is still spirited and dedicated to complete the hillside sprint, as if retirement in 2005 was still yesterday's thing.
Surprisingly, this was Lu Ke ’s first formal meeting with Rice; and it was Rice who greeted him, which really surprised Lu Ke. At that time, Les also said with a smile, "Keep breathing, Keep breathing, training is more important, after reaching the top of the slope, we can talk again slowly. "
After the warm-up run, Lu Ke and Rice stood on the top of the hill, facing the urban scene extending under their feet. The two people just chatted like ordinary friends, as if the 49 people in San Francisco were not in the dictionary at all. In general, in the end, Lu Ke was relatively young and did not resist the excitement.
Lu Ke took the initiative to mention Randy Moss. He did not know how to cooperate with Moss, nor how to communicate with Moss, which has become the team's biggest difficulty now.
Rice did n’t answer Lu Ke ’s question, but just said with a smile, "Landy is still that Randy, he has n’t changed. It used to be this way, it ’s the same way now. Do you know? He once told me in person, super The bowl is nothing. He does n’t need a Super Bowl championship ring to prove his greatness. A touchdown is enough. "
"At the Candlestick Stadium the year before last, after my jersey retired, he told me that he regretted it. Perhaps, that was the only time he showed weakness in front of me." Les then added.
Lu Ke seemed to understand the words of Rice, but didn't seem to understand. Until today, he really understood.
Moss is still that Moss, but the fact is that Moss is only 32 years old this year, and Rice still created a 1,000-yard catch season when he was 38 years old.
Talents tend to grow older with age; hard work can bring wisdom along with the precipitation of time.
Perhaps, Moss has not changed, his playing style, his temperament and personality, his life, all has not changed; but also, his desire for victory has not changed, as well as the Super Bowl The desire is exactly the same. This is why he chose to return, and it is his motivation to stand on the court again.
Therefore, Lu Ke had the words just now.
Moss's temper was finally vented, and Lu Ke said again, "My goal is the Super Bowl. I know that the goal of all 32 teams in the entire league is the Super Bowl, but the difference is that, I ’m ready, my teammates and I will go all out, step by step toward victory. The question now is, are you ready? "
Not just preparing for a comeback, but also preparing for change.
"If you are ready, tomorrow morning, the quarterback and wide receiver will have a tactical meeting, not organized by the team, but by me. If you want, come to the training base at 7:30." After finishing, Lu Ke Without paying attention to Moss, he turned and walked away.
