883 Ocean Cookies
In 2008, the US real estate market where the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, sweeping the world. Now all walks of life are in an absolute downturn. Ordinary residents who are short of money have fallen into life difficulties, and no one can be exceptional. But if this continues, the economic crisis may only get worse and worse. The official needs the market to re-pulse and let those cash that "dead" in the bank flow again.
It is also under this background that the Super Bowl craze has appeared.
Even the eyes of other fields such as economy, society, politics, entertainment, etc. have come to the scene, looking forward to the Super Bowl pulling the market again.
Regarding the Super Bowl fanaticism in the context of the financial crisis, sociologists and economists' analysis believes that it is actually a bit similar to the Great Depression in the 1930s. Everyone wants to keep a dream and spend the darkest time. They need a little spiritual strength.
So, a racing horse named "Ocean Biscuit" appeared.
This horse was considered to be not very smart, and had a short head and had no prospects for development. Even as a sparring coach for other excellent horse racing, it was not qualified; however, someone saw the stubbornness and stubbornness of "Ocean Biscuits". A boss, a trainer and a jockey gathered together and then created a miracle.
"Ocean Cookies" is a racing horse that really exists in real life. It has become an incredible miracle with its unyielding will, once again interpreting the movingness of competitive sports, and inspiring millions of Americans in the Great Depression era, becoming a spiritual symbol, and even becoming a part of popular culture.
Later, in 2003, the real story was adapted into the film "Pentium Age" and won the Oscar nomination for Best Picture the following year.
Now, "Coach Archie" is the contemporary "ocean biscuit".
Like "Ocean Biscuits", no one has always been optimistic about Lu Yiqi's career - strictly speaking, even in the final stage of the Super Bowl, Lu Yiqi is still not favored.
His age, his experience, his experience, his identity and other factors all indicate that he is a weak person, but he has broken all the shackles of prejudice step by step, from the NCAA field to the NFL field, from the NCAA victory to the NFL counterattack, Lu Yiqi has always been writing history and creating miracles.
What condenses on Lu Yiqi is the indomitable and stubbornness, struggle and fighting like "ocean biscuits". Such a stubborn and stubborn spirit may be stupid in normal times, but in the boundless darkness, it is a ray of light that dispels the darkness and guides people forward.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Yiqi's experience became a breakthrough, even a banner, under the 2008 comprehensive financial crisis.
At this moment, people need a little bit of silly courage to believe that they can overcome difficulties, believe that they can wait for hope, and believe that they can witness the sunshine. Therefore, too much hope is condensed in Lu Yiqi. The Super Bowl final battle is the stage for witnessing miracles.
In the end, the ticket to the Super Bowl finale soared to a new high in the past decade - if inflation is not counted, it is the highest point in the history of the Super Bowl era.
Of course, this is not something that Lu Yiqi can control, nor is it that Roger Goodell can control. "The times create heroes" is probably like this; but it is undeniable that Lu Yiqi and the Green Bay Packers' experience has indeed become a spark in the dark age.
But for Lu Yiqi, all this did not feel real. "Using his own strength to save the downturn in the financial crisis." Such a hat is really too big. Just thinking about it in his mind makes it incredible. He does not have such ability or such ideals.
Just as Lu Yiqi said at the post-match press conference of the National League final, he never put himself in the position of creating history. He is just insisting on being himself, and insisting on breaking labels with his own efforts and hard work, realizing his dreams, and truly making life full of meaning.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Yiqi sincerely hopes that his parents can go to Tampa to watch the game on site. He hopes that his father can understand his original intention, and he has been working hard all the time. He also hopes that his father can truly recognize his dream, but... he cannot be sure whether his father is willing to go.
Jiang Wenjin said that she would persuade Lu Jiayan, but she also assured Lu Yiqi that no matter what happened, she said she would definitely go to the scene.
At this time, Lu Yiqi learned that Walker was about to invite his family to watch the game on site, so he naturally raised his hands and feet to agree.
Walker could also feel Lu Yiqi's heartfelt joy, "Mom said, seeing that you seem to have lost weight recently, she is going to come here to make a big meal for you."
"Haha, then I'll look forward to it." As he said that, Lu Yiqi began to rub his hands, and the movement of the fly rubbing his hands made Walker very happy.
After a moment of pause, the topic seemed to be cut off here. It can be seen that Lu Yiqi and Walker were not very adaptable, and even the conversation was not so smooth. Walker laughed dryly twice and took the initiative to break the deadlock. "I suddenly left the tactical manual and felt very uncomfortable. We will face the most important game of the season in two weeks, which is a bit unreal."
Lu Yiqi chuckled, "After going back, you can check the tactical manual or game video, you have my permission."
The most important thing that needs to calm your brain is Lu Yiqi himself, while other coaching staff members do not need to force it. If they can relax, it will be better; but if it doesn't work, there is no need to force it.
Walker's eyes immediately lit up, unable to suppress his excitement, but then he realized his joy and looked a little childish. He quickly curled his smile and changed the subject seriously, "By the way, I just saw a group of young children in the square on the other side of the stadium, who came to visit the stadium specifically. It looked like they were students from the University of Wisconsin. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Maybe, if you exercise with them, you can relax a little." Walker said a little soft-mouthed. What bad advice is this? Playing rugby with young people? Is this sure it doesn't matter?
However, Lu Yiqi nodded easily, "Okay, I'm looking for some time-consuming things. I originally thought that I should drive to Lake Michigan to fish, that is a real thing to be quiet, and I can stay away from these temptations in the office, but I strongly doubt whether the ice surface is suitable for fishing now."
