287 Unspeakable Goodbye
Lu Yiqi, this young and immature young coach, was part of the crucial reason why he was able to create miracles that Kansas State University, which has been falling in recent years, won the top of the 2007 season in an incredible victory. In addition, it was because "he believed".
Lu Yiqi unswervingly believed that relying on the group of players with mediocre talents and ordinary abilities in front of him could win and be able to top the championship.
This created Walker's outbreak, witnessed the rise of Nelson, and experienced the improvement of Banks, Murphy, Campbell and others. Even Jacob also completed the transformation. Even when facing crises and difficulties, even if they endured challenges and difficulties, they were not defeated.
A truly excellent coach does not rely on the ability of the players to win the game, but fights side by side with the players to win.
Lu Yiqi's belief and firmness ignited the fighting spirit of Kansas State University, and also ignited the hope of Manhattan - even the confidence that fans do not have was rekindled under the leadership of Lu Yiqi. This is the most magical, special and precious part of the 2007 season.
"Coach Archie!"
Field roared in vain, and in a daze, they returned to the middle of the season again. They stood at the Bill Schneider family stadium and cheered for Lu Yiqi in unison. One shout after another, consuming the power of their souls, but igniting the light of hope.
"Coach Archie!"
Heath Alexander, Hannah Spencer and others also shouted together, and the enthusiastic and intense support slogans quickly became a whole.
In a trance, all the Wildcats fans hugged each other again, shouting for victory and hope.
"Coach Archie!"
"Coach Archie!"
The huge roar echoed in the super dome for a long time, and the ripples left indelible traces. The rumbling waves were gushing and boiling, and even the air began to heat up, burning the skin surface. The unanimous shouts from the audience continued.
Tonight, sleepless.
The rolling heat wave extends from the stadium to outside the stadium. At this moment, Manhattan is also cheering and celebrating, and the whole city is brightly lit.
Thousands of city residents walked out of their homes and joined the national party happily, celebrating the end of this magical season; at the same time, the players were the same. After a long season of full-scale sprints, they can finally enjoy it.
"Ahhh, I still can't believe that we really won! Who will pinch me hard and let me be sure whether this is a dream or a reality?"
"As you wish!"
"Oh! Brandon Banks! The bones are about to break! Do you want to taste my fist?"
"It was obviously what you asked for, oh! Oh! Don't take the lead! I didn't wear a helmet, so I'll become stupid."
"Campbell, be careful, Banks is not smart at all. If you continue to take the lead, he will fail the exam. What should he do if he can't graduate?"
Hahaha!
A raucous laughter burst into pieces, and the laughter and joking could not stop. The entire locker room was filled with exaggerated roars and laughter. In a trance, it was like entering a carnival. The ubiquitous noise made the eardrums with severe tests, and it began to hurt slightly.
"Coach, coach, Coach Archie, are you sure you won't join us?"
Lu Yiqi glanced at the door of the locker room. Walker immediately caught his figure, rushed over with a trot, and called happily, and his bright eyes clearly wrote about happiness.
Lu Yiqi waved his hands repeatedly, "Old Bones have basically said goodbye to the party." This sentence is serious. "Did you see Coach Phillips and others?" This is his purpose in coming to the locker room.
"Uh, they just came over and went out again. Coach Phillips and the others pulled the fireworks in their ears in close proximity, which scared Banks, haha." Walker said happily, "We all thought you were hiding behind and there were some tricks, but we didn't see the follow-up. Everyone was very disappointed."
Even if he just stood there and spoke, Walker couldn't help but jump, like a child, unable to calm down, and his whole body was filled with joy. "The coach should join us together. If Coach Archie is all old bones, then there will be no young blood on our entire team."
Do you still remember the team's speed-changing running training? Except for Nelson, everyone can't beat Lu Yiqi.
Lu Yiqi did not defend himself, and patted Walker on the shoulder with a smile, "Go and celebrate well, this is what you deserve, the season is over."
Walker nodded repeatedly to agree, hesitated for a moment, and then his words popped out without any hesitation, "Coach, I decided not to participate in the draft."
Lu Yiqi's smile paused slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Are you sure?"
Walker nodded heavily, "People shouldn't be too greedy, right?" Walker showed a big smile, and the light in his eyes became bright.
"Senior season is like a dream, so beautiful that it's hard to believe, but it's really happening. I grew up and fought with the team, and finally stood on the championship podium together. This is the best gift given to life. I have no reason to complain."
Admittedly, Walker is looking forward to more and looking forward to more. If those wishes can be realized, everything will be perfect; but even if they cannot be realized, life will continue. Work hard, try, burn out the last drop of blood, and then we should continue to explore new possibilities.
"Coach Archie, do you know? Originally, I was ready to give up."
Walker seemed to remember the time before the start of the season again, and his tone became cheerful.
"I'm already a senior, and my talent seems to have touched the ceiling. There is nothing new on the tactical level. I should turn around after the season is over. However, I met you, and then I realized that the game could still be played like this. It turns out that I still have such talent. When I stand on the field again, everything becomes interesting, just like a puzzle game."
For others, tactical manuals are the source of headaches; but for Walker, it is like a Sudoku, and it is becoming more and more interesting with exploration and research.
"So, I cherish the memories of this year very much, and everything is beautiful." Walker said with satisfaction.
But Lu Yiqi's tongue was slightly bitter, and he said half-jokingly, "Does it include injuries?"
"Yes, including injuries. Flaws can make perfect." Walker said without hesitation, nodding heavily and stressed, "I can turn around and leave now, saying goodbye without regret. Coach Archie, thank you for your willingness to lead us through this journey."
Chapter completed!
