Jeff looked at the signature on the scarf seriously, but could not recognize it, not even in English. He hesitated for a while. Although he was offended, he asked, "Bambi, you ... well, what's your name?"

Bambi is just a nickname, and of course Jeff knew that this was the name that all the Brown Bears cheered after the game last night, so he wrote it down. But Bambi's real name, he knew nothing.

"Lu Ke."

"Luke?" Jeff said puzzledly, because Lu Ke didn't really look like a person named "Luke".

"The pronunciation is like this, but there are two completely different words in Chinese." Lu Ke explained with a smile. "In fact, there is no problem with Bambi. At first it was just a joke from friends, but now I am getting used to it. . "

The name is just a salutation. At the beginning, Lu Ke did not like this nickname, but gradually, he also began to claim to be so, in a self-joke, self-joke way, which instead achieved unexpected results and made many friends The school life after immigration gradually opened up.

Now, the good friends who are really familiar with Lu Ke, as well as the friends of the neighbor next door and other neighbors, will call him the same.

"Lu Ke. I think I have no problem with the pronunciation of this Chinese, at least it is simpler than 'Hello'." Jeff laughed happily. After he laughed, Jeff hesitated for a moment and finally clenched. Fist said, "If there is a bowl game, I just say, if, then, please bring the Rose Bowl back for us, will you?"

The last game of the season ended yesterday, and the Rose Bowl is an invitational match. In the end, which team will be invited among the top four still needs to be discussed. The Browns are ranked fourth in the league this season. It is still unknown whether they can get an invitation, let alone potential opponents are far stronger than them.

Even if Jeff emphasized "if", he could still feel his breaking and sincerity.

UCLA has not been in touch with the Rose Bowl for a long time. This traditional rugby team has not fallen for too long. In fact, the last time they entered the Rose Bowl competition was 1999; the last time they won the Rose Bowl was 1986, a more distant year, and many students were not born yet.

In sharp contrast, the University of Southern California has harvested a total of five rose bowls since the millennium. Among them, it has achieved four consecutive titles in the past four years.

Every year, the Brown Bears watch their enemies in the same city and climb to the top of their home Rose Bowl Stadium, just like watching the enemy celebrate the victory in their back garden. This kind of suffering is better than death, it can be called extreme torture. This is also an important reason why the last game is so sweet, not only defeated the Trojans, but also stepped on the opponent's shoulders and ranked among the top four.

This carnival has just begun.

Lu Ke understands the emotion behind Jeff's request. After all, in the past three years, he and every UCLA student have experienced the same torture. So Lu Ke smiled and chuckled softly, "If so."

"I believe you!" Jeff clenched his fists and waved twice. "Guys, we should leave. Lu Ke needs training, adjustment, and rest. We are hindering his schedule."

"In fact, you are the culprit, okay?" Nate's vomiting made everyone laugh, including Lu Ke.

After turning around and leaving, they still yelled, "You are the man! That's right, you are the man!" While cheering, jumping and sprinting, the training ground in the morning was more lively than ever before.

After sending away these groups of helpers, then Lu Ke saw his training partners, John, Logan, and Marcus, all of them.

Lu Ke couldn't help but be surprised. A large part of the reason why he insisted on running today was because of system tasks, but what about them? "Why are you here?"

"Habit." Logan said the first one. "When I woke up, I found out that at 7:15, I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't sleep at all. Bambi, this **** biological clock, I think To continue to sleep! "Said Logan also deliberately scratched his hair, showing an annoyed expression, causing Lu Ke to laugh out loud, but John and Marcus nodded in agreement.

Lu Ke laughed even more joyfully, "I am creating conditions for you to become a superstar. I will get a bonus in my future career. Remember to give me a share." At this point, everyone laughed.

John took the initiative to step forward, "So how about we start today's training mission?"

"Let's start with warming up first. Bambi has already warmed up. If we don't warm up, then we can't keep up with him." Marcus said hesitantly.

Logan shook his head, with a clear expression on his face. "It's estimated that you can't do it alone. I'm absolutely fine."

No way. This sentence is used on a man, and it can have many meanings. Logan is obviously meaningful. This made Marcus suddenly shouted in depression, "Hey! I never said I can't! Unbelievable words, Let's compare and compare? "

Then, Logan and Marcus flew towards the stadium, there was no agreement, no rules, the two actually compared to a race. Lu Ke raised his chin to John, "Aren't you going to join? One second behind, this will not be able to catch up."

John shook his head gently and looked at the stadium in front of him. His expression was lonely. "Did you realize? Yesterday was the last game of college. If there is no Rose Bowl, the four-year college football career will end like this. It ’s possible; it ’s probably my career as well. ”

John did n’t remind, Lu Ke did n’t feel it, and now suddenly remembered: The last game of the 2011 NCAA regular season is over. If there is no Rose Bowl, it means that the seniors have completed their NCAA competition. The last appearance on the world. Fortunately, they ended with a victory; unfortunately, he didn't even have time to enjoy it and the university was over.

This is true for John, this is for Logan, this is for Marcus, and so is Lu Ke himself.

For most students, this is the end. The professional league is another level, not all college students can enter the professional league; more accurately, even if you enter the professional league, it is a new challenge. Countless rugby players who have performed well during college, even Heisman The winner of the award, after entering the league, is also awesome to everyone.

The Brown Bears have been weak for a long time, and the average of this year's seniors is still inferior to the Trojans. In the next year's draft, players who can successfully enter the league are estimated to be few. Even Lu Ke himself, with his current level of strength, can enter the league, he needs to put a big question mark.

"What do you mean ...?" Lu Ke is a journalist major. He is very sensitive to the capture of these details. He can hear the regret and loneliness in John's words, and he is relieved.

John gave a big smile, "Yes, I decided not to participate in the draft." This means that after graduating from college, this is the end of his football career.

Turning his head, John saw Lu Ke's surprised expression. Before Lu Ke opened his mouth, John continued with a smile, "I know that the memories of the past six months are beautiful, I did not expect that I can still Back on the court as an official player. But I also know that my ability is limited, that ’s all, this is the ultimate. Even if I barely enter the professional league, maybe one year later, at most two years, the ball The team will still lay off staff. Instead of this, it is better to end decently. "

"At least, the Brown Bears reversed the last touchdown of the Trojans. That's what I caught. This is a masterpiece of my career. Everyone will remember this moment." John blinked, his eyes showing a trace Proud and excited, "My dad called me after the game, he ... uh ... he was very excited."

What John didn't say was that he could hear his father wipe the tears on the other end of the phone, although his father refused to admit it.

"So I think this is the perfect ending." John exhaled a long breath, he had made a decision, but when it was actually announced, the inner loss was still indescribable.

He used to think that he could become a professional player and struggle all his life on the court, but the reality is cruel, he accepted it long ago, didn't he? This half-year life on the field is like a good time stolen, he should be content.

"I don't know yet which two teams were selected for this year's Rose Bowl, but I think, before the NCAA announces the list of invited teams, I insist on coming here every day to practice. You know, before saying goodbye forever, I should firmly Remember, how much I hated this place and how much I wanted to escape from it. "John said, and the two couldn't help laughing." Why, would you like to join me? Stay with me and continue practicing? "

Originally it was John and they practiced with Landing, but now the position is reversed.

Lu Ke did not correct John, and nodded with a smile, "Of course, no problem, my honor! Why don't we start now?"

With that said, Lu Ke ran first and greeted John to join them, and the two ran in the direction of Logan and Marcus.

"Hey, Bambi, did you read the school newspaper today? The front page headline, the entire page is your photo! I heard that the school newspaper has been snatched up!" Logan shouted, "We When I came to the training ground just now, there were beautiful women screaming and cheering along the way. This treatment has not been enjoyed for many years, haha! "

"Winning the Los Angeles Derby, we are God! At least for the next week, it will be so!" Marcus also cheered, "The headline of the school newspaper, is the next step the" Los Angeles Times "? Then scout And then the alliance? "

"Marcus, you should first worry about the final exam two weeks later." Lu Ke's words immediately wailed the other three, "Hey, Bambi, I just tried to forget this thing! You It ’s the devil, the devil! "
