On August 9, 2009, the annual Hall of Fame Tournament was officially staged, and the Tennessee Titans defeated Buffalo Bills with a score of 21:18, which officially announced the opening of the new season.

In a blink of an eye, the four-week preseason matches have all ended, and the new season has come to mind. The defending champion Green Bay Packers are undoubtedly the favorite to win this year.

It is not only because of the title of defending champion, but more because after the offseason operation, the young team that was not yet mature last year has gone to the next level, and their paper strength has also been followed - don't forget that under the leadership of Favre the year before, the team also entered the National League finals.

However, the results of the preseason were shocking. The defending champions all had all four games, and they did not have the style of "favorites to win the championship".

In the first game, facing Cleveland Brown, the Green Bay Packers made their debut with all substitutes and rookie lineups, and all the main players sat on the bench to rest and watch the game. As a result, the team was completely silent on the offensive end. Substitute quarterback Matt Flynn was in a hurry and never could keep up with the tactical changes. The game scene was once ugly. If it weren't for the good performance on the defensive end and forcing the opponent to make frequent mistakes, the game might have been completely confused.

"3:0", the Green Bay Packers suffered a clean sheet on the away game, which was the first time since Lu Yiqi served as the team's head coach.

In the second game, against Buffalo Bills, the Green Bay Packers continued the lineup of the first game, with substitutes and rookies rotating. The offensive end finally showed normal standards, fully exerting the characteristics of changeable and diverse offensive tactics. They can see progress in both passing and ground offense, but the performance on the defensive end is difficult to satisfy, exposing the shortcomings of insufficient tactical running-in, and frequently appearing loopholes at critical moments and missing opportunities.

"31:28", the Green Bay Packers, who were at home, suffered two consecutive losses.

In the third game, last season's National League final rematch, the Green Bay Packers went away to face the Arizona Cardinals again. The two sides started a hearty offensive battle. This time, the main players of the Green Bay Packers made a play in the quarter. Rodgers led all the main players to play in the first quarter. His wonderful performance made people see the style of the defending champion for the first time, and the duel with Kurt Warner was even more fierce.

"45:48", the two sides competed with each other, and the defense was formed as a decoration. This time, the Arizona Cardinals had the last laugh.

In the fourth game, it was still away. Green Bay Packers played against Tennessee Titans. The opponent who fought in overtime last season only decided the victory and loss again had another wonderful showdown. Green Bay Packers played in the entire first half with all the main players. The two sides fought hard, and then appeared as a substitute and a rookie in the second half, continuing the sparkly confrontation. At the last moment, they almost entered the overtime showdown.

"24:27", the Tennessee Titans defense team made a contribution at the last moment, cutting off the counterattack efforts of the Green Bay Packers substitute lineup.

As a result, all four preseason games ended, and the Green Bay Packers continued last year's "bad tradition" and made all four games, and they were unable to complete the preparations for the new season with victory.

The same recipe, the same taste, and then, on the press conference, the same question, everything seems like reincarnation, and it seems familiar.

"So, will the results of all four preseason games ending in failures in Green Bay Packers have an impact on the team's defending goals?"

Facing Valerie's question, Lu Yiqi's smile at the corner of his mouth did not change at all. He seemed to have expected such a situation long ago. The light flashing deep in his eyes was a little joking. Although he didn't say much, he seemed to be complaining: Do you only have such habits?

"No, no." Lu Yiqi's answer was straightforward and simple, and without subsequent explanations, it seemed that it was not worth the time spent.

Valerie could sense Lu Yiqi's eyes and projected without dodging. The meaning of the eyes was always full of jokes and ridicule. Combined with his words, tone and expression, he could easily convey enough meaning, allowing the reporter to passively fall into a embarrassed situation.

However, after two years of dealing, Valerie has also figured out some tricks, "What do you mean is that all preseason losses are tactical losses?"

"Haha." Lu Yiqi chuckled, "Miss Granger, your statement is disrespectful to our opponents and a question of our professional spirit. I can be sure that these are not tactical failures. Are you sure you need to continue to dig into this topic?"

"..." Valerie could not help but speak. She also realized the grammatical problem in her words, but... she was wrong. Since she had already provoked the relationship between the Green Bay Packers and other teams, she needed to "get more and more" to see if it could trigger any topic. "If this is not the case, then how do you view the outcome of all the defeats in the four preseason games?"

"Competitive sports, victory and defeat are common in military affairs. The side who prepares better during the offseason and performs better on the spot eventually won the victory. It's so simple." Lu Yiqi was a slippery loach, and he avoided the edge in an understatement. "Obviously, we still need to continue working hard."

Losing in preseason is not a strategic loss, because Lu Yiqi doesn't care about victory or defeat at all. Victory will not be joyful, failure will not be setbacks. All attention will be focused on tactical layout-

From the main lineup to the substitute lineup, no matter who appears on the stage, the tactical meeting after each preseason is the real beginning of the Green Bay Packers players. In the final analysis, Lu Yiqi is always polishing the player lineup, and what is more important is the tactical system.

Facing the cunning Lu Yiqi, relying solely on Valerie's power is obviously not enough, and other reporters at the scene need to unite.

"Coach, who do you think the team's biggest opponent defending the title is?"

"New Orleans Saints, Indianapolis Pony..." Just as the reporter thought Lu Yiqi had finally taken the bait, Lu Yiqi's words did not end, and then he continued to say one after another, "New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans..." In this way, he reported all the other thirty-one teams.

In fact, Lu Yiqi can be said to be "every team in the league", but he did not do this, but reported all the team names, obviously just to tease the reporters on the scene.

"Coach, what do you think the team's record of defending titles?"

"3.125%." Lu Yiqi gave the answer in a straightforward manner.

The reporters were confused. How did the "3.125%" figure come out? As a result, some reporters really asked questions stupidly, and then Lu Yiqi showed a big smile.

"Because it's one in thirty-two."

Shame! The reporters in the audience wanted to disappear on the spot collectively. This was a great humiliation, not because of the answer itself, but because they foolishly asked "Why is it 3.125%". They knew that Lu Yiqi was a fox, but why did they repeatedly suffer losses?
Chapter completed!
