The two Federation finals of the 2008 season did have a sharp contrast.

The American League finals are the mortal enemy in the same zone and the famous "Steel Crow Battle" in the league. The smell of gunpowder began to spread early on, and the two sides were facing each other's tit-for-tat attitude, and they wanted to stab the opponent directly and let the smell of blood burst out.

The National League final was harmonious, and both teams were low-key dark horses, unexpectedly advanced to the final stage, obviously lacking a little gimmick of a strong showdown. The two head coaches seemed to understand this, and their humble and calm attitude always kept low-key.

For loyal fans of Green Bay and Arizona, they are bound to be disappointed. They still hope that their team can win more attention. They always think that their team is the best team in the league. They are really indignant to be treated like this.

But for Lu Yiqi, today's press conference was full of results.

After entering the National League final, the sight of Green Bay Packers gathered more and more, and the attention from their opponents was also increasing. It was even the first time that the mainstream view believed that Green Bay Packers were the one with the upper hand, so naturally, the pressure was increasing.

For young players and young teams, attention and attention can give them greater motivation, but excessive attention and attention may make them lose their minds, arrogant and ultimately perform abnormally because of underestimating the enemy - even if they are not young players, it is difficult to avoid such a mentality.

After all, the Green Bay Packers have been the unpopular side throughout the season, and are under tremendous pressure from beginning to end. The contemptuous sight and sarcastic voices are endless. This also makes all players unite with Lu Yiqi down-to-earth and move forward together. Now they have suddenly become the "proudly praised" side. In addition, the opponent is the Arizona Cardinals whose regular season record is worse than themselves, the dark horse among the dark horses.

Under such circumstances, Green Bay Packers can easily become unbalanced in their mentality and have the illusion of "this victory is easy to win", which ultimately affects their performance.

As the head coach, how to adjust the team's mentality is a difficult task, and Lu Yiqi must do something.

In Lu Yiqi's eyes, the press conference has never been just a reporter's interview. It is a platform to convey information to the opponent, and it is also an occasion presented to the team within the team.

Behind the modesty, there is no lack of the intention of praising the opponent, which really made the Green Bay Packers players realize that the content of the tactical meeting was not alarmist, and the opponent in front of him might be stronger than the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants.

In Lu Yiqi's opinion, the same should be true for the Arizona Cardinals, keeping low profile, keeping modest, putting themselves at a low position to attack their opponents, continuing their low-key style since the playoffs, and then playing with pigs and eating tigers. At this point, Wiesen Hunter should have the same idea as him.

In fact, the continuous firing of both sides in the AFC finals should be a psychological tactic. The other two coaches are not easy to use. Whether it is low-key and humble or high-profile arrogance, in the final analysis, the ultimate goal of the four young coaches is consistent:

Victory and Super Bowl.

So, after the press conference, all the focus shifted to the AFC finals, which was exactly what Lu Yiqi expected. After waiting to return to the locker room, he would make some adjustments and stabilize them to ensure that the players did not think randomly for the time being and focus all their attention on the game.

The difficulty of psychological warfare is that people's hearts are unpredictable, and mentality and emotions are often difficult to control. Even Lu Yiqi has no capital to be proud.

But what Lu Yiqi did not expect was that as a young coach who created countless miracles this season, his existence itself was carrying a huge target. Even if the focus was diverted through the press conference, the attention focused on him was still countless, and some things were still difficult to get rid of-

Or in other words, Lu Yiqi himself understood this, but he did not expect that "it came so fast and so fierce", and that it "scrambled" out of unexpected places.

"What? Who are you talking about?"

Lu Yiqi was a little suspicious of his ears and did not hide his unbelievable expression.

Reggie Walker, who was standing next to him, was also a little confused, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Coach, he... do we need to worry?"

he.

It is about team manager Ted Thompson. When talking about Thompson, Walker's eyes showed a little repulsion and he instinctively didn't like that guy.

Although Thompson was the one who promoted Lu Yiqi as the head coach, there would be no Lu Yiqi's miracle without Thompson; but Thompson always pointed his fingers and interfered with Lu Yiqi's tactical framework many times, always hoping to play the role of savior to control the overall situation.

The same is true today.

The National League Finals are about to begin, but Thompson brought special guests to visit the team. Rumors said that if the guest had not politely refused, Thompson was planning to take the main force to visit the locker room, without any concerns about affecting the players' pre-match preparation rhythm; later, he gave up the plan to visit the locker room, and Thompson sent someone to summon Lu Yiqi to the VIP room to interact with the VIP, and seemed to have not realized the fact that the game was about to begin.

In Walker's opinion, this is completely ignorant and ignorant action, which completely exposed Thompson's nature of being very proud of his achievements. He really couldn't look at the team manager calmly. Now he couldn't figure out what Thompson was doing, so he was inevitably worried.

"No. He knows the measure, he is looking forward to us further than anyone else." Lu Yiqi was not worried at all, and his expression quickly recovered from calmness. Of course, Lu Yiqi also guessed that Thompson's mentality was what he was worried about - they all thought that the Green Bay Packers had already won the victory.

Something that was worried about happened inevitably.

Walker still couldn't calm down. "He really hoped that we would go further, but he didn't know how we should go further. If we didn't help, we would make trouble. If we fail in the end, he just needs to directly push the blame to you."

"Why, do you think I'm so easy to take the blame?" Lu Yiqi chuckled, "Don't worry, if he doesn't know what he is doing, I will let him know." Yun Danfengqing's tone was hidden, and the strong confidence exuded from the inside out made all restlessness settle down.

Walker's expression then relaxed, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He knew that anything was not a problem in front of the coach, and his mood returned to peace. "So, are you going to pass now?"
