The cloudless sky is not concealed, and the blue sky can be seen in a word. The lazy plane cloud outlines the sky and the open sky in a few strokes, and the bright golden sunlight falls down unscrupulously. Every corner, falling on the surface of the skin, every inch of skin with fruit dew can’t help but open, deeply breathing the dry oxygen mixed with the fragrance of grass.

On the training ground in front of me, there was no one at all, and occasionally a skylark flew over and fell in the grass, trying to find a grasshopper to fill his stomach, but the next second I found this to be a sports field, there is no small Creatures, so they flew away in a hurry.

Adam Klein sat alone in the stands without the awning. The whole person was directly exposed to the sun. The black baseball cap must not have played much role at all. It seemed that the last time the sweat was wiped, The sweat on his forehead slowly began to seep out again.

It is unimaginable that many cities in the north are still snowing, but Los Angeles has opened its mind in April and enthusiastically embraced the arrival of summer. In two weeks, the annual NFL draft will be unveiled; in a few weeks, the selection of college football freshmen is about to start; then the professional team ’s in-campus training camp, then the preseason, Then there is the regular season.

It seems that the Super Bowl ended not long ago, and the new season has come to the corner. But think about it, rookie training camp is already six weeks ago, and the passage of time seems to be faster than expected.

Over the past six weeks, the entire league has been busy. Thirty-two teams and more than three hundred rookies are like a huge, sophisticated, complicated and cumbersome machine that runs quickly.

Those high-profile rookie players gradually emerged. Scouts and teams, further investigation and review, to collect information; and the major media and major columns have begun to predict: the team needs to supplement the position of players, the team may make choices, 32 rookies in the first round , The rookie of the prestigious rookie may fall in …

Among the many busy and non-footed figures, Adam is also one of them: some players need to repeat the assessment three or four times; some players need to re-evaluate based on the performance of the rookie training camp; Troubles and problems need to be verified again; some players’ personal life moral issues need to be collected; some players need the team’s decision-making team to interview and review again in person.

From a certain perspective, in fact, scouts and private detectives are just a line apart. After all the busy ends, Adam made another revision to his scout report, and then submitted it for reference.

However, every time he returned to Los Angeles, even if he was tired or busy, Adam would spare one day to come to UCLA again to watch Lu Ke’s training. This is the last one. All other players ’scout reports have been submitted, except this last one.

In fact, no one is asking about Lu Ke’s scout report. During the rookie training camp, the New Orleans Saints showed great interest. Compared with the quarterback and the offensive group, their defensive group is full of holes. The top priority is still to absorb fresh blood for the defensive group.

It seems very lively and boisterous, but in fact it is not willing to take steps.

First, Lu Ke ’s physical test results are really unsatisfactory; second, Lu Ke ’s reference data for the entire player ’s career is lacking, and he has tossed and held the two games, and the reference value is too low; three, Chinese , Quarterback, this is almost a taboo permutation and combination on the football field. Even if there are no Chinese players in other positions, how can it be possible to give the team’s brain to Chinese players?

As a result, the uproar during the rookie training camp, in real life, was only lively in California for a while, and then gradually settled down and cooled down. No one cares, no one pays attention, and no one cares.

Even scouts do n’t care anymore—not criticism, crusade, or low-spiritedness, but indifference. This is a more terrible situation than bad reviews.

The reason why Adam didn’t give up is just an intuition and perseverance.

As a scout, he has spent thirty-six springs and autumns. The professional players in the league have experienced several rounds. He has seen countless geniuses, countless geniuses who have fallen, and countless countless people who have not been optimistic yet. Ordinary players who burst into amazing energy. He has a keen intuition, he can’t tell clearly and he can’t tell.

On Lu Ke’s body, he smelled a special temperament that was beyond description, but he hoped to dig it out. So, he never gave up, even Black Simmons gave up, but he still did not. Now, he is the only scout who is paying attention to the landing.

The footsteps of “Papa Papa” came from far and near, and he didn’t need to look back. Adam knew that the coming person must be Lu Ke.

In the past six weeks, Lu Ke has not given up and has not been abandoned. He has been tirelessly insisting on training and stepping up to improve himself step by step. It seems that the rookie training camp has not disrupted his life. It seems that the silence for six weeks has not let him give up. Even during the spring break, all college students enjoy the holiday comfort, including the players who participated in the draft this year, he still did not interrupt training.

At the same time, he is still struggling to complete university studies, insisting on completing his graduation thesis in the library every day, and those players who are committed to participating in the draft, after the achievement points have reached the NCAA requirements, their studies and academic qualifications have been abandoned Behind the head.

Sure enough, Lu Ke’s figure jogged into the stadium. After running on the runway, he suddenly started to accelerate at full speed, sprinting to the extreme in a 100-meter state, and after a 100-meter sprint, slowly slowed down. Use the curve to adjust the interval, then enter the straight and enter the 100-meter sprint mode again.

This type of variable speed running puts stringent requirements on physical fitness, endurance, explosiveness and other basic physical qualities. Even in the rookie training camp, players who create the best results in a 60-yard round-trip run are not necessarily able to complete such demanding training. What’s more, Adam knew that Lu Ke is now finished after more than nine kilometers.

I do n’t know if it ’s Adam ’s illusion. He feels that Lu Ke ’s speed has improved, and his recovery ability after the sprint has also increased. Of course, he didn’t hold the stopwatch to count the time, and he didn’t know the exact data. It is very likely, just because of the intolerance and expectations in his heart, he vaguely hoped that Lu Ke’s hard training would pay off.

After finishing the 10,000-meter run, Lu Ke gradually slowed down and began to do some simple relaxation exercises, adjust breathing, soothe muscles, and prepare for the next basic skills training.

“How is it, this time on a business trip, what’s the gain?” An inquiry came from his ear, Adam turned his head, and then saw the figure of Anthony Jefferson, with a smile on his face, which can be seen, he Is in a good mood.

Adam shrugged. “It’s the same, the same. Those so-called talented players, if there is a third of Lu Ke’s efforts, maybe this year’s draft will be wonderful.”

“But, this is life.” Anthony exhaled for a long time, as if he breathed out the chest. “Today you are still alone? Or, are you waiting for someone?” For example, a team Coach of the quarterback or offensive team; another example is the team manager of a certain team or a senior scout.

Adam didn’t speak, but just twitched his lips.

Anthony tapped the railing with his palm, revealing a bitter smile, and wanted to say something, but after all he said nothing, “After that, I will go down and help Lu Ke train.”

Over the past six weeks, the entire school has been offseason, and players and coaches have been on vacation. However, Anthony has been helping Lu Ke to train, quietly working hard and persevering in their way.

Watching Anthony walk down the stadium, Adam’s smile was bitter.

He does n’t want to disappoint them because they have been disappointed too many times. Adam has been trying to match match, hoping to have a quarterback coach come over to see Lu Ke ’s training, not the physical test in the training camp, nor the three days The simple test within, but the real basic training.

However, nine times, a total of nine failures, including five times, nodded on the phone. But in fact, it did not show up. Call back later, either by voice mail or a lot of excuses. Time and time again, it was raised high and dropped heavily, which was uncomfortable. Adam also knew this clearly.

In fact, he made an appointment with an old friend today and made dozens of phone calls one after another. Finally, he persuaded the other person to come over to see the University of California, Los Angeles in person. But now he can’t be 100% sure, what if he is disappointed again after speaking?

In the sight, Lu Ke greeted Anthony’s arrival with a smile on his face. He did not lose his head because of the downturn of the current situation, nor did he renounce himself because of the gradually silent future. With great vitality, the passion from the depths of the soul is so beautiful and so touching.

However, in real life, the dream living space is really too small and too small.

“Buzz, buzz”, the phone in his pocket started to vibrate, Adam took out the phone and picked it up, “This is Adam Klein.”

“Hey, man, where the **** are you? I’m in the player channel now.” The familiar voice made Adam stand up abruptly because he was so excited that all the books and pens on his knees were scattered. But Adam didn’t care at all, “Old guy, come out, I’m in the stands on the right hand side of the player tunnel, you can see me when you come out.”

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then the fat man with dwarf winter melon appeared in sight.
