Patrick Willis met defensive coach Vick Fangio in the parking lot. Both eyes showed an unexpected look, and he didn't expect to meet each other here.

Fangio said first, "Why are you here? Isn't Julie angry? She finally encountered a holiday, and she definitely hopes you can stay with her children at home."

Julie, that is Willis's wife.

Willis shrugged and said helplessly, "I was doing nothing at home all day yesterday. Julie felt that my condition was not good and drove me out, thinking that I would affect my children's learning instead."

As a league veteran, I have long been accustomed to losing. Has the San Francisco 49ers lost enough games in the past few years? But this time, the situation was slightly different. He could feel the low pressure inside the team, and the unwillingness was always lingering; even at home, he kept thinking about the fragments of the game in his mind.

The wife noticed that he was absent, so he drove him out.

"How about you?" Willis asked back.

Fangio exhaled for a long time. "Researching the video of the game is not just a problem of the offensive team. In the face of Joe Flacco, our defensive efficiency also has serious problems. Jim came to the training base yesterday, I Come here today to have a meeting with him to discuss and discuss. "The defensive team is not the strength of the San Francisco 49ers, but they can't lack their help to win the game.

Obviously, this defeat, or this two-game losing streak, brought the team's impact far beyond imagination. On the side, this is actually a good thing, because everyone is full of longing for victory and can not tolerate the impact of failure.

Willis and Fangio exchanged a line of sight, and then stepped towards the training ground one after the other.

Far away, they saw several colleagues standing at the gate of the training ground, offensive coach Craig Roman, quarterback coach Kip Crest, offensive forward coach Mike Solari and Tim -Dreno, a group of people stayed in the bustling place, but did not go in. It looks like they are watching the bustle.

"What's wrong?" Fangio stepped forward and asked, but he didn't need to answer. His eyes were projected towards the training ground, and then he was stunned and turned his head to Willis conditionedly, "Do you know this?"

Willis is unknown, so follow up, and then see the scene above the training ground:

About twenty people are scattered in different positions on the training ground. Some people are slowly warming up, some are performing impact training, and some are performing auxiliary training in pairs ... The whole training ground is in full swing The lively scene is even more wonderful than the warm winter in the early morning.

More than 20 players, only less than half of the team ’s fifty-three roster. This still does not include the number of sparring players. Above the large training ground, it looks a little sparse, but every one in the field of vision The corners are full of dangdang, and the surging atmosphere comes, even if you can stand outside the training ground.

This is Saturday, the Saturday of the team's official rest day.

There is still a long time to go to the next game. For the coaching staff, their biggest concern is the players ’off-court troubles, not to mention major accidents, even if they are just drinking alcohol at random, partying indiscriminately, and not following the regular season Clearing rules and regulations, which then affects the state of the game afterwards, is enough to cause headaches.

But who would have thought that the players not only did not indulge or relax, but also came to the training base spontaneously and devoted themselves to training wholeheartedly. Such a scene is surprising and moving.

Willis opened his mouth slightly, trying to say something, but couldn't say a word.

It has been five seasons since joining the league, but to be honest, he has never seen such a scene, never felt such concentration, such devotion, the desire for victory and the standardization of his career are really great. Eye-opening.

"I don't know." Willis spread his hands. As the captain of the defensive group, he never heard of today's training. On the court, he can see many defensive players, Colin Jones. , Reggie Smith, Navolo Bowman ... It was so unexpected that he shook his head again, "I ... uh, I don't know, really, I don't know."

Willis and Fangio's eyes were once again on the training ground. The team in front of them was so familiar, but so strange.

Defensive forward coach Mike Solari said, "I just asked the guard. He said that the first person to arrive at the training ground today is Lu Ke, it seems that it will appear around five o'clock."

"It's no accident." Craig-Roman said flatly, already accustomed to Lu Ke's diligence, "but ... this, what is this all about?" Lu Ke appeared, which is normal; but What about other players? What's the matter?

However, no one can give an answer, and even Willis couldn't say it.

Two days ago, after losing the game, the atmosphere inside the entire team was terrible. Not to mention Lu Ke's furious in the locker room. Later, the silence on the plane was so tight that people would be suffocated. Even each other's eyes are avoiding each other, let alone talking. Everyone takes earplugs, excludes all interference, and immerses themselves in their own world.

But two days later, a happy scene appeared again on the training base. What happened?

"I'm not surprised." Kip suddenly expressed his opinion and all his eyes were focused. "Have you heard of an interesting thing? In the training camp before the start of the senior season, Bambi and the team's There was a physical conflict at the backup quarterback, which caused the coach to furious. "

"Because Bambi is like a lunatic, his usual simple training, but he seems to be the last offensive in the Super Bowl. He goes all out. In the eyes of those major players, Babi is a neuropathy, always in Showing off his diligence and devotion not only makes the main players uncomfortable, but also the other sparring players are not pleasing to the eye, because the coaches are always praising Banby, which causes other sparring players to have to work harder. "

Kip's words echoed gently, and everyone could not help looking at the training ground again, and their eyes fell on Lu Ke, who was dedicated to the collision training. This is not the daily training of quarterbacks, but in order to avoid collisions and better protect themselves during sacks, quarterbacks are also required to participate in part of the training.

The scene in front of us reminded people of the nine sacks in the last game. Everyone thought that Lu Ke's weak body was bound to suffer injuries, but in fact, he didn't. Unconsciously, Lu Ke's physical fitness has also grown slowly and effectively.

This is the rookie who has been voted down. People have been criticized for countless rookies, but they have grown up one step at a time under their eyelids. Now looking back at the training in the past few months, they know that all this did not come out of thin air.

Kip did n’t go on, starting without a head, and ending without a head, but it seemed that the answer stood out.

All along, Lu Ke has been working tirelessly and tirelessly to integrate into the team little by little in his own way.

In the face of doubt and provocation, action is always a step ahead of words, and training is always more important than conflict.

Faced with failure and setbacks, he is always the one who refuses to give up and refuses to compromise, whether it is training or competition.

Twelve weeks have passed in the regular season, and the earth-shaking changes have taken place in the locker room, but after Thursday night's end, it was Lu Ke's first complaint, first accusation, first anger, and first runaway. He has always led by example and proved himself with practical actions, leading this team step by step to victory.

After losing the game by three interceptions, Lu Ke took up the responsibility bravely. In the reporter's interview, he took all the mistakes to his shoulders and refused to blame his teammates, saying that he must continue to work hard and continue to learn.

After the nine sacks brought a terrible defeat, Lu Ke still did not get angry-at least not in front of the reporter, he just sincerely said that no one likes to fail, and they must study the defeat and where to fall. , Just stand up from there.

After the two-game losing streak, among the entire team, the biggest pressure is not Jim Hubble, but Lu Ke.

Because he is a Chinese player, because he is a rookie, because his resume is too thin, he is like a natural scapegoat, all the mistakes can be gently pushed to him.

However, Lu Ke was still the first to stand up again, face the defeat, and set off again.

For such a player, there is a vocabulary to describe: leader.

The true team leader, with his own actual actions and his own spiritual strength, leads the team step by step out of the quagmire and back on track.

Willis suddenly laughed, but did not come. He now finally knows what's going on with his restlessness and anxiety. Even after five years in the league, this defeat still makes him sleepless and sits down. Now, he finally finds a reason Too.

The training ground in front is the answer.

Without speaking, Willis turned and took a step. Fangio noticed his movement and asked in a loud voice, "Patrick? Where are you going?"

"Locker room. Training." Willis didn't look back, he simply answered. Even the small players have started training. As the captain of the defensive team, he must speed up his pace, otherwise, the progress will not be able to catch up.

In the next game, they did not go for a three-game losing streak, victory, this is their only pursuit.

The coaches standing on the spot looked at each other, an indescribable mood stirred in the chest, especially the two offensive forward coaches, the smile could not help bitter.

"How? Should we start working too? Otherwise, tomorrow's tactical meeting, I think I might be soft-mouthed." Kip said with a smile.

Solari responded first, "What are you waiting for? Let's go! We have to increase our horsepower too."
