The seven-round draft was over; the 2011 draft ended. From the first round to the seventh round, there were three days before and after, full of excitement, lively and vigorous, and finally came to an end.

This year, a total of five players from the University of California, Los Angeles participated in the draft. In the end, four players were successfully selected and achieved great results. Among them, Rahim Moore in the second round, Logan Newman in the third round, Marcus Lynch and David Carter are the sixth round.

The only regret is the loss of Lu Ke.

Yes, in the seventh round of the draft list, Lu Ke's name still does not appear. Ironically, in the seventh round, the New York Jets also chose a quarterback, Greg-McElroy.

The reason for "sarcasm" is because Greg's performance in the rookie training camp is hardly remembered.

Greg is 6.16 feet (188 cm) tall and weighs 220 pounds (100 kg). Compared with Lu Ke, the ratio of height to weight is more harmonious; but in addition, his physical test results are lackluster, forty yards sprint, Twenty yards of turnaround, standing long jump, vertical jump touch high, around three cones and other tests, the data are almost the same as Lu Ke.

But on the other hand, Greg's role skill test was mediocre, passing 20 in 30 passes; the subsequent training game only advanced less than 30 yards and ended the game with a steal.

In other words, apart from weight, Greg and Lu Ke have almost no advantage. Of course, Greg was a seven-round draft, which was not an outstanding draft round; but, between Greg and Lu Ke, the New York Jets chose the former instead of passing, attacking, and on-site command. Excellent Lu Ke.

Put in the seventh round of the draft, people can say that this is an ambiguous choice, and the Jets made the most suitable decision for themselves; but it can also be said that this is the status quo of the NFL: do n’t say a Chinese quarterback By the way, even if it is a Chinese player, this is a huge challenge for any team, even for an open and huge ball market like New York, not to mention teams in other cities?

In many cases, racial discrimination is not necessarily scornful and dirty language, nor is it a high-ranking exclusion. The idea and thought that penetrates into the bone marrow essentially separate the two races, which is the real most Terrible discrimination. Because this is almost irreversible. Black people spent half a century, women spent two centuries, still struggling.

What about the yellow race?

In the field of football, basketball, and even track and field, the yellow races represented by the Chinese are gradually expanding their territory, proving that race is not the biggest shackle of the talent for restraining sports. Prejudice is. However, the field of rugby is still a virgin land. This is a difficult problem left for Lu Ke, and it is also a lie in front of Lu Ke.

The fact is that the New York Jets chose Greg McElroy instead of Lu Ke in the seventh round.

Of course, Lu Ke had almost no performance opportunities during college, no video materials, no reference objects, no scout reports, just with fifteen minutes and two minutes of competition, and the ups and downs of the rookie training camp. Not enough for Lu Ke to break the barriers of race.

So, the draft conference ended, Lu Ke, lost.

After leaving the Newmans and Logan, who couldn't stop crying and crying, the house was quiet. Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning turned back to the house and walked through the hall to see Lu Ke standing in the backyard.

At this time, Lu Ke stood back to them and stood in the porch. The wind chimes beside him rang in a crisp, long and crisp time, and the cold moonlight and milky yellow lights fell down, outlining the loneliness and daze of the back.

Looking at the son's back, Jiang Youning was bitter, but she didn't know how to express it. She knew more clearly than anyone how much effort Lu Ke had made at this point.

She still remembers that in the ninth grade, Lu Ke was too thin and could not form an effective confrontation in the team's training, and his physical strength, endurance and explosiveness fell in the overall disadvantage. In order to catch up with the competitiveness of his teammates, Lu Ke worked hard every day and did not dare to relax.

One day, Lu Ke was slightly warm because of the rain, but he still did not want to be absent and insisted on joining the team's daily training. Halfway through the training, Lu Ke sneaked to a place where no one noticed, vomited fiercely for a while, and vomited until the bile came out, and then pretended to be okay and sneaked back to continue training.

After returning, Lu Ke's face was pale, without any blood, and he fainted directly on the porch at the door of the house. If Tiffany, who was not at the door, found out in time, he noticed that Lu Ke was hot and immediately sent him to the hospital. What consequences. Later, the doctor checked that Lu Ke had a high fever of thirty-nine and a half degrees, and that bronchitis and inflammation are spreading to the lungs. If you don't pay attention, the condition may be unimaginable.

Jiang Youning, who rushed to the hospital at that time, was so scared that the Six Gods had no master, and he cried a lot. As a result, Lu Ke, who was awake, comforted her. , I fell asleep again, seeming to have been confused.

Such an accident is not the only one. Every time I saw Lu Ke training so hard, Jiang Youning was distressed, but in the end Lu Ke always was able to stick his teeth and stick to it. When college failed to enter the team for two consecutive years, he did not give up; when he was a junior as a sparring partner, he did not give up ... He just walked step by step to today.

But now, all his efforts are negated in this way.

Jiang Youning involuntarily had a sore nose, and tears almost fell. Then Jiang Youning felt a hug and looked up, she saw her husband ’s slightly red eyes, "Xiao Ke is the saddest one. You know, what he needs most is our support, your son will not It ’s easy to be overthrown. Even if neither of us can support it, he still wo n’t give up lightly. So, before he gives up, we ca n’t be vulnerable. ”

"I just love him ..." Jiang Yuning raised his hand to cover his mouth, and then wiped the tears off his cheek vigorously. If possible, she would rather Lu Ke become a reporter, rather than fight on the rugby field, as a mother, no matter what achievements Lu Ke achieved, she is proud!

"I know." Lu Zhengrui hugged his wife and patted her back gently. "I used to talk to Lu Ke. Remember, he needs our support."

After talking, Lu Zheng then took a deep breath, and then took a step.

Pushing the screen door behind, Lu Zhengzheng walked out. The April monsoon crossed the sea and the hills, mixed with a trace of water vapor and a trace of cold air, and came to the face, and the brain suddenly woke up. Lu Zhengzheng's footsteps stopped by Lu Ke's side, and he couldn't help raising his head to look at the son who was taller and stronger than himself and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

"Dad. I want to try again." Lu Ke said first, which made Lu Zhengzheng's eyes turned to his son's face.

On the face that gradually faded and slowly matured, there was no imaginary loss and sadness, nor imaginary pain and blame, but a shallow smile, a confident and firm smile.

"I lost the election, but I was still a rookie." Lu Ke greeted his father's gaze frankly, "I know that I have worked hard for so many years, I can even say that I have tried my best, but I still lost the election. It ’s the wise man ’s way to give up. I think my brain is not bad. This calculation can still be done. ”

Lu Ke laughed lightly and said humorously, "The most appropriate approach is that I should give up rugby and then start looking for a job as a reporter. The next four months are still there. Before September, this was all job hunting. At the peak, in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even New York, I should cast my resume everywhere to find more opportunities. Before the title of the fresh graduates fades, make arrangements for the future. "

"But, Dad, I want to try harder." Lu Ke didn't have a reason for the smallpox, just looked at his father sincerely and sincerely, "I know this is silly and irrational. But, I don't want to be right now Give up. Not because of unwillingness, but because I think I still have the potential to dig out. I hope that Bole can see it, and I also believe that I can win a place on that field. "

Rugby superstar system, this is one of Lu Ke's strengths; but outside the system, in the years before the system was obtained, Lu Ke never gave up lightly. His confidence comes from the system, but also from himself.

Before Primary Seven, there were at least six people who got the system, but not everyone succeeded. In the final analysis, above the competitive arena, it was still you who held the key to victory.

Lu Zhengrui didn't answer immediately. He seriously looked at Lu Ke seriously, and his heart couldn't help moving. In his son, he saw his young and vigorous self. Immigrated to the United States in the mid-1990s. This was not as good as imagined. The difficulties and challenges they faced were far beyond imagination, but he and his wife clenched their teeth. After they came down, they created their lives step by step.

They met the opportunity and seized it. Now it's his son's turn.

"Isn't there a saying that there is a gap year here in the United States?" Lu Zhengze finally said, "After graduating from college and before officially working, give yourself a year to explore the world, explore the unknown, and seek what your heart really pursues. Things. Maybe dreams, maybe freedom, maybe wealth. "

Lu Zhengzheng patted Lu Ke on the shoulder, "I hope you can find it. In the sports arena, my mother and I can't help you, but you just need to remember that we will always support you, in our hearts, You are the best quarterback. "He breathed out for a long time, and Lu Zhengze also smiled." So, let go and do it. Losing the rookie, even if you lose, still have the opportunity. I believe you. "

Dreams are called "dreams" not because they are too beautiful, or because they can be realized, but because they transcend life and reality, and the road to dreams requires far more difficulties. Imagine, even a little silly courage. It's not difficult to give up your dreams, and keep on chasing, this is the most difficult part.
