“What’s next?” Lu Zhengzheng asked seriously, “What do you plan to do next?”
Jiang Youning patted her husband ’s arm and lowered his voice to yell, “What did you say at this time? The competition was just over yesterday, and it ’s not finished yet. Moreover, your son did n’t even eat a bite of breakfast, you suddenly said like this ‘S topic is really destroying people’s appetite. “
Lu Zhengrui “coughed” unnaturally, avoiding his eyes, and replied to himself, “I am also concerned about Xiaoke. After the brunch ends, we are going to leave. It is still a long time to go back to San Francisco. It’s a journey. We’d better leave early, otherwise we will miss the dinner. “
“I want to participate in the draft.” Lu Ke didn’t mind at all. His inner thoughts never wavered. He showed a big smile to his parents and said sincerely, “Mom, it doesn’t matter. Even if Dad didn’t mention it, I think I want to discuss it with you. My senior year is about to graduate this year. The next step is the fork in life. Even if it is not today, the choice will be made sooner or later. “
Strictly speaking, before the Rose Bowl, Lu Ke had already made a decision.
If Lu Ke decides to give up professional sports and choose to become a real reporter, he must now start looking for internship opportunities. Anyway, the NCAA season is over. Without the constraints of daily training, all spare time can be put into work and missed In February and March, he will be behind other fresh graduates.
February and March, this is precisely the time period for rookie training camp.
Therefore, he must make a choice. Continue to chase the career of professional athletes, or ordinary daily career. Deep down, Lu Ke knows that he is eager to realize his dream, eager to stand on that field and become a top football star. The system in his mind gave him such an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he will not miss it, nor will he give up.
“I want to participate in the draft, I want to be a professional athlete.” Lu Ke said firmly.
Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning exchanged a line of sight. Jiang Youning lowered his eyelids worriedly, covering his mixed emotions. Lu Zhengzheng held his wife ’s left hand, then greeted Lu Ke ’s firm and persistent gaze, “You know this What does choice mean? “
Lu Ke did not rush to show his determination, but just looked at his father frankly.
The competition in the college league is extremely fierce, but the intensity of the professional league is ten times, one hundred times, or even more. Physical confrontation, mental test, and pressure from the media, audience, and network. Professional players are definitely not an easy job, let alone the injuries they face, and countless training and hard work. Competitive sports are cruel and bloody.
As a father, Lu Zhengzhi instinctively worried about his son, but last night, he personally experienced the grandeur of the Rose Bowl and witnessed Lu Ke’s shining moment on that stage. He knew that it was not only his son’s dream, but also his son’s life, deeply imprinted in the blood. Perhaps Lu Ke was born for the big stage.
All the worrisome words circled around the tip of the tongue, and finally swallowed it all. Lu Zhengzheng watched the landing Ke with concentration and sincerity. If Lu Ke was hesitant and shaken, then he would order him as his father. Lu Ke terminated this absurd idea, but he failed.
“It’s good to know. Professional players, once this path starts, there is no turning back. All the hard work in front of it may not be worth mentioning at all. Come on!” Lu Zhengji said seriously, a simple words. In it, it is full of boxing.
Lu Ke was stunned for a while. He thought he would spend a lot of time talking with his parents. After all, this is a life choice. If there is no rugby star system, he will still stick to his dreams, but he may not be so sure He is simple; but, things are so smooth, beyond imagination, Lu Ke can also feel deep care in his father’s simple words.
“Xiao Ke, professional athletes are often injured, you must pay attention to protect yourself. It is the most important to stay away from injuries.” Jiang Youning looked at Land Ke with a worried face, and said with concern.
The touch that just rushed up immediately turned into a smile. Sure enough, the mother’s focus was different. “Mom, don’t worry about me. I will protect myself.” Lu Ke said with a smile, expressing comfort.
Jiang Youning chuckled softly and looked at Lu Zhengzheng. The expression seemed to say, “The son actually comforted me in reverse”. Both couples couldn’t help but smiled, and Jiang Youning looked at Lu Ke again. He said softly, “I’m worried about you, this is my job. This job has started from the day you were born and will not stop.”
The warmth at the bottom of my heart was surging, and Lu Ke was teased like this, “Mom, are you sure you don’t watch too much for the Oprah talk show?”
Lu Zhengrui quietly echoed the sentence next to him, “I think so.”
Jiang Youning looked at her husband and then at her son, and the words that had already flowed into her mouth had been thought about, and the words turned, “You know, on the way back, I chose the radio channel? Because on the way to come , Radio stations are selected by you. “
Lu Zhengzhi blinked, and then said nothing, but turned his head to look at Lu Ke, as if to say: Son, you can only fight alone.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ke looked at her mother and said seriously, “Mom, I think you have a very good taste. It is up to you to choose the radio station along the way. This is definitely a wise choice.”
Lu Zhengzheng’s pupils could not help spreading, and looked incredulously at Lu Ke: You traitor!
Later, Jiang Youning’s voice came from his ears, “I think so. What do you say?” This “you”, no need to remind, Lu Zhengze knew who he was talking about, he put away his expression, Nodded seriously, “I agree.”
A family of three sat here and enjoyed a leisurely time with brunch. However, Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning still have a long way to go back. Lu Ke does not want to delay them too much time, causing them to randomly increase their speed in order to rush back in time. Therefore, after chatting, Lu Ke escorted his parents to the car, hugged the two old men, and then watched them leave.
At the end of the carnival last night, Lu Ke originally intended to take a day off today, temporarily regardless of the daily training tasks, and the basic points of the task rewards, but after driving back to the apartment, Lu Ke actually found it a bit too idle. After five months of training, the body seems to have adapted to this rhythm, and suddenly slowed down, but it was not very adapted.
What is this … work hard? Still hardworking / fuck?
Think about it carefully. If he decides to participate in the rookie training camp in February and the league draft in March, then he really has to fight every second. Although he won two games before and after, and gained confidence, Lu Ke did not get rid of it. The reason is very simple. This is not two complete games. The outstanding performance of one game and the stable performance of one game are completely different. Two different things.
More importantly, in the short time of these two games, he has tried his best to win the game. At the same time, he also realized his shortcomings-it is not enough to ignore it. Jiang Shanhong of the personal skill list is really too spectacular. He can only be regarded as the quarterback of the average level of the college league, and may even be lower than the average level.
So, want to enter the rookie training camp, want to enter the professional league, or even want to play in a formal game … Maybe he should not skip training today, but should continue to stick to his daily training.
However, before formal training, he needs to look at his personal panel. He only remembered it now. After the game last night, he did n’t have time to check the completion of his task. More strictly speaking, he did n’t even know what task he accepted on the Rose Bowl last night.
The system panel was summoned in my mind. Sure enough, a series of “ding ding ding” sounds came through, like a symphony, concerto, the joy of victory swept over for the second time, everyone likes to win, who is not?
Opening the unread information, Lu Ke read all the task options seriously at this time. There are six tasks before and after. The task requirements are getting more and more detailed. There are even requirements for pass success rate and interception number. This is an improvement. , But also an enhancement of the challenge; but gratifyingly, he completed all six tasks!
For the first pass, complete, the base points increase by one; for the first touchdown, complete, the base points increase by one; for fifty yard passes, complete, the base points increase by one; 65% pass success rate, When completed, the base point is increased by one; if the cutoff point is zero, the completed point is increased by one; for the Rose Bowl, when completed, the base point is increased by five.
Looking back now, the penultimate pass, Logan, among the three players, made a strong pass, which prevented Lu Ke from passing the first interception of his career, not only completed the task, but also It is absolutely vital to keep the game going. It seems that good partners and teammates are really important in rugby.
The task of the future competition will only become more and more difficult, he can not successfully complete all tasks every time. Fortunately, there is no punishment for the failure of the task at this stage. If there is a punishment for the failure of the future task, it will be bad. Lu Ke has no way to predict the direction of the punishment for the time being, but what is certain is that he is not interested in discovering the unknown.
In order to complete the task, sticking to the daily training task is the first step. Very well, he found a reason to continue training today; in order to complete the task, he must constantly strengthen himself.
Now, he has a total of … ten basic points! This is definitely a qualitative leap. At this time, Lu Ke discovered that the task of winning the Rose Bowl actually rewarded five basic points, which is more than any previous game. Perhaps, the more important the game, the more difficult the game, the reward is more.
So, how should he add ten basic points this time?
