Chapter 58 World Famous Paintings
If someone interviews Levi, as a novice who knows nothing about rugby, what is the most important lesson he has learned since he entered the world of rugby in April?
Levi would answer: game atmosphere.
Whether they were former cross-country runners or former mixed martial arts athletes, the atmosphere they experienced was different, especially cross-country running, which often requires being alone and fighting alone.
Football, however, is not.
Needless to say, the scene of 100,000 people at Bryant-Denny Stadium was a frenzy. In daily training, you can also feel the enthusiasm of small towns and universities. Screams and cheers come and go. For a cross-country runner who is used to the sound of wind, water and leaves. For players, they are always in a state of fear.
Roommate Hunter gave Levi a valuable advice——
Noise canceling headphones.
Hunter did it to look cool. Every time he saw swimmers or football players wearing earphones on the field, they were so handsome. But Levi adopted the advice because he really wanted to reduce noise, and now he has gradually become accustomed to the company of earphones.
Today is no exception.
After learning from "Jack of All Trades" Humphrey that attendance at AT&T Arena might hit a new high, Levi brought his recent treasure No. 1.
Early in the morning, I put on my headphones and ignored the hustle and bustle outside the bus, but I could still feel the enthusiasm of the scene from the slightly vibrating seats.
Compared with the intra-team games and warm-up games, Levi was relatively calm today. In the past four months, he has continued to train through the McCoy and Peterson templates, experiencing the elegance of different stadiums and home stadiums, and accumulating experience in virtual games. It's not completely useless.
arrival.
Levi waited for a moment, but found that all the other players were sitting obediently on their seats and did not move. He couldn't help but look back at everyone.
The football team has a large number of people, so generally they board the buses in groups, with two buses for the offensive team, two buses for the defensive team, and four buses for the special teams team; some teams even need five buses, so the coaching staff In the car, a small number of special teams or main players also mixed in.
At this time, Levi didn't see Humphrey's treasure. Clark, who was sitting on his right, was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva. Without thinking much, he stood up and prepared to take the lead in getting off the car——
There are three cars waiting to be unloaded behind.
Clark's eyes widened and he shouted nervously, "Levi!"
"Ronnie!" Hurts shouted.
Clark closed his mouth anxiously.
Levi glanced at Hertz meaningfully, then gave Clark a reassuring look, continued to move forward, and the bus door opened.
Rustling, rustling.
There was a low discussion behind them, mixed with laughter and whispers. It was very lively. Although no words were spoken, the excitement and excitement between the eyebrows and eyes could not be clearer. You don't need to be very smart to guess -
It's time for the senior players to give "lessons" to the rookies.
Obviously, this is a prank.
Levi was still wondering before. Until now, everyone in the team is still calling "rookie", even those high school students who have just entered college. Judging from his rugby experience, Levi is indeed a rookie, so Didn't they just play pranks and have fun?
Abnormal.
Now it seems that it is not that there is no chance, but that I am waiting for the opportunity. No, it is coming today.
Li Wei's face was calm, and the soldiers came to block it, and the water came and the earth covered it.
If you follow the eager gazes of Hertz and others, you can notice that the target should be the camera team in front, or the frenzy of reporters.
However, compared with Levi, the young players on the offensive team bus are not much better.
Over the years, the Crimson Tide Storm has been the focus of the NCAA, but all the heroes of the last wave of championships have graduated. This wave of players teamed up to win the national championship last year, which was a minor surprise. They have not experienced such a battle. In addition, the media at that time was all focused on Derrick Henry. It was inevitable to bluff when seeing such a commotion in front of us. However, Levi seemed particularly calm and walked out as soon as the bus door opened.
Hurrah.
A large group of hosts, cameras, microphones, lights, etc. swarmed up and surrounded Levi in a blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Levi's excellent height was highlighted. Usually in the team, his height of 6.1 feet (185 cm) seems to be ordinary, nothing special; but now he immediately "got" out of the crowd.
"Excuse me!"
The microphone rushed towards Li Wei with the attitude of Jing Ke stabbing the King of Qin, and he almost stuffed the microphone into Levi's mouth. The host Samantha Ponder stood on tiptoes and got stuck in position immediately.
This ABC football host may be intimidated by others because of the height and shape of football players, but she has absolutely no such possibility. She and Christian Ponder, a quarterback who has bounced around many teams in the NFL, are on the show. They got married in 2012.
Maybe Ponder is not a top player, but the quarterback who entered the league in 2011 is a loyal and honest guy. He has many friends in the league, and everyone is also good friends with Samantha, and he is willing to sell her some face.
The young man in front of him was wearing sunglasses, covering most of his palm-sized cheeks. He was wearing headphones, and his head was almost submerged in the equipment, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
But in a hurry, Samantha Pond could no longer take care of it. There were too many people on the NCAA team. She had to be decisive and focus on the key points to start working, otherwise the interview would turn into a disaster.
"What are your expectations for the new season? What do you think of the team's prospects of defending the title? After losing Derrick Henry, can Levi be able to shoulder the backbone of the team's ground attack? Can he inherit Henry's mantle?"
Levi gently raised his chin——
It turns out that the good show everyone is planning to watch is this scene?
There is no need to look back. At this time, I am afraid that the entire bus will turn into meerkats and stick to the windows, one or two eagerly admiring this scene.
Not only the first bus, but also the second bus behind it has opened its door, and Humphrey's head can be seen sneaking around.
It seems that Humphrey, who is well-informed, must have heard something.
Levi didn't have any special reaction, his expression was calm, and he raised his hand to indicate behind him, "He's behind."
After finishing speaking, put down the earphone that was pulled up again and continue moving forward.
Chic and neat, calm and unhurried.
Samantha was not paranoid and did not stop the player from leaving. She greeted the camera team and continued to look towards the bus door, aiming for the next player.
And what about Levi?
Without stopping or hesitating, he entered his own world again, leaving behind a cold and sparse figure. The fans on both sides of the entrance to the players' tunnel were surging like a wave, shouting and screaming one after another, and the rising heat wave surrounded that figure. , all surrendered.
The world was lying at his feet.
The whole place was obviously noisy and turbulent, but it burst out with a sense of vastness and tragedy, with the wind rustling and the water cold. The scene of Will-Smith going on the road alone in "I Am Legend" automatically came to mind.
This scene is like a world famous painting.
Humphrey: Damn, he did it again.
