This is the first time Lu Ke has come to "Joe's Bar". He has heard a lot, but he has never visited in person.

Standing across the street, in front of me was an ordinary brick wall hut. The dark gray walls and dark green roof were located in the row of low-rise houses in the Italian area. A hand-made custom suit shop, and a second-hand bookstore on the right, with a touch of European style, form an interesting contrast with the financial district next to it and Little Tokyo in the distance.

If there is no special guide, when passing by occasionally, you will not even notice that this is a bar. But from another point of view, then this is a bar that only local talents will patronize, not a tourist attraction, or a celebrity checkpoint. The rich atmosphere of life makes it quietly integrated into the entire community.

At the door of the bar, Lu Ke pushed open the false door. The sound of "baby" made people think of the desert bar in the western movie. The trivial sounds of horse boots and iron palms outlined the extrajudicial madness among the dusty servants The vicissitudes of the apprentices, then you can see the entire bar decorated with red as the main color.

On the left-hand spacious wall, the history of the San Francisco 49ers is neatly arranged, including the change of jersey style, the change of the team's badge, the photo frame inlaid with the important event report layout, the commemorative scarf and ball cap of the winning year … And so on, like the history museum displays the memories belonging to the fans.

On the brick wall directly in front, various photo frames are irregularly placed. I originally thought it was a photo of a player or star who used to patronize the bar. I didn't want to. I looked closer but found that it was a photo of different fans. It truly records the classic moments of watching different games in different years, and records the history of this bar.

Turn your head clockwise, and look over the bar counter, and then you can see the wall on the right hand side. The dark smoky ash hides the original appearance of the wall. There are some charred wood and garbage stacked next to it. The wet ground and corners show the chaos that had happened here, and it still looks like a ruin.

"Sorry, the bar is closed today." Anthony Tinozo walked out of the warehouse, holding a pile of garbage, and then saw the figure standing in the center of the bar, politely said loudly.

But before the words were finished, the footsteps stopped involuntarily. There was no special change in the expression on the face, and the consternation slowly overflowed. For a while, Anthony couldn't tell whether it was because of the identity of the person coming, or because the other party was really unexpected.

"Sorry, I know the bar is closed today. I came to find the bar owner Anthony Tinozzo." Lu Ke took the initiative to step forward and extended his right hand. "When I first met, I was Lu Ke."

Anthony's reaction was a bit slower, "I met Antonino Tinozzo for the first time." After I finished, I thought about it and added, "I know who you are. But ... why did you appear in What about here? "

Still not realistic.

Although "Joe's Bar" is quite famous among fans, because of its geographical position-it is located in the city center instead of near Candlestick Park, there are not many players coming to the bar, let alone such a close distance The head quarterback who came into contact with the team.

Anthony is almost forty years old, and has already passed those young frenzy days. Even if he supports the 49 people in San Francisco, he is more in his own way. Those passions and passions have been turned into the background and experience. He gradually became lighter and lighter, he thought he was used to this way, but at this moment he still couldn't help but start boiling blood!

In the face of such senior fans, Lu Ke is always full of admiration. His loyalty and love for this team have been integrated into the bones of the entire family and become part of their blood. "Is this where the accidental fire happened yesterday? "Lu Ke didn't answer the question directly, but pointed to the corner in front of him."

"... Yes." Anthony responded. "But it wasn't too serious. The situation was quickly brought under control. Then the firefighters ruled out all the hidden dangers, and there was nothing serious."

Lu Ke's footsteps stopped next to Anthony and looked closely. "What was it originally? Some handwriting can be seen on the wall." At this time, large blocks of wall above the black painted wall I ca n’t see the original one anymore. I can only vaguely capture some vague traces. "That's ... the Tigers, '26: 21 '? Is this our first Super Bowl win?"

Lu Ke's voice was a little hesitant. He still didn't know enough about the history of 49 people in San Francisco, but he made a relatively reliable judgment based on the properties of the bar.

"Yes, on this wall was the track of our five championships, dates, opponents, scores, etc. It's like a championship wall, recording each of our peak moments." Anthony's eyes flashed with pride In the entire league, the San Francisco 49ers won the championship second only to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is their pride.

What Lu Ke has just seen is the first Super Bowl in team history, which happened in 1981. Anthony again pointed to the position that was completely covered underneath. "The last time was January 29, 1994. We defeated San Diego Lightning. The score was '49: 26 '. That was a big victory!"

Time flies, and that's what happened 19 years ago.

But now the glory champion wall was destroyed in a fire accident, "The wall can be repainted, everything can be saved back, do n’t want a few other walls, those things are treasures that cannot be recovered, So, we are lucky. "Anthony still sees the positive side.

If the fans of the Seattle Seahawks had such an idea, hoping to shake their firm belief in winning in this way, then obviously they had made the wrong idea.

Lu Ke also smiled, "Maybe, this is a revelation, it's time to update the wall."

Anthony's eyes suddenly brightened, but after all, he still did not say what he had in mind, just like a birthday wish. If he said his wish, it would not be realized. He should cherish it firmly in At the bottom of my heart, I waited quietly for the day when my wish came true.

Looking back, Lu Ke looked at Anthony, "I made a special trip today because Ryan and Jonathan told me that there were some accidents after the game ended yesterday, which is obviously not what we want to see." The source is The Baldwin brothers, Lu Ke now regularly contact Ryan by phone to ask about his rehabilitation and physical condition. As the team moves forward, he also expects Ryan's situation to improve.

"Oh, Ryan. We also went to the hospital to visit him last Friday. The doctor said that because of the recent active rehabilitation, his muscle vitality is slowly recovering, at least it has not continued to deteriorate. This has been for half a year. Rare good news. "Anthony was still a little older. After the excitement, his emotions gradually settled down, and he spoke freely.

Lu Ke said easily, "We agreed, if the team can enter the Super Bowl, then he will take the date to the scene to watch the game. So, he must be very very hard now."

"Then you need to continue to work hard," Anthony said.

"Aha!" Lu Ke gently agreed with his jaw. "No matter how, after learning the news, we are all very worried. No one wants such an accident to happen." Lu Ke cut into the topic, "We know that the bar There must be insurance, and the insurance company will pay for the loss, but after consultation among our players, we still hope to do our best to express our support. "

"..." Anthony looked at Lu Ke in surprise, "Bambi, no, no, we don't need, we can't ..."

Lu Ke took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it flatly in front of Anthony. "Please be assured that our team has a total of 53 players. Each player participated in this fundraising, so, It ’s not a big problem. It ’s just to express the intention that the team and the fans will always stand together. Without the support of nine people, we ca n’t get to the present this season. ”

Anthony looked at the landing with a stunned look, and his heart was full of emotions. After all, he did not continue to politely accept the envelope with his hands. "... Bambi, thank you."

"Do n’t thank me, this is David Arkens’ idea. I ’m just sending the check as a representative. They are joking that the team ’s flag is mine now, I hope I can come forward to accept everyone ’s gratitude, But I always think that we are a team, and I am only one of them. "Lu Ke said sincerely, did not take all the credit to himself.

Because Lu Ke ’s words were light and funny, Anthony could not help but chuckled and joked, "Their old guys must have been lazy, so they deliberately dumped things on you, and you are a sophomore , Is also a quarterback, and it is more suitable as a representative of errands. "

Lu Ke immediately smiled a big smile, "Is it? Right? That's how I talked to David, but David just stood beside and snickered and didn't help at all."

You can feel in the line between the lines, the 49 people in San Francisco now have a very good atmosphere in the dressing room. After a bumpy season, they finally found their rhythm in the playoffs.

"Although I really want to enjoy a beer here, there are several other bars that require me to complete the errands work. You know, the team's facade always needs to be harder." Lu Ke did not stay here too much. After a few words with Anthony, he turned and left.

The bar was quiet again, and Anthony stood in the open space in the center, pondering the brief conversation just now, and his mood flew up like this, humming a little song and getting busy again.

He has a hunch that something good may happen this year.
