The origins of Kip Crest and Adam Kline can be traced back to 25 years ago, when Kip was still a college student, and Adam is already a well-known scout in the industry. The first confrontation between the two was related to the draft.

At that time, Kip was studying at Princeton University, and he also considered rugby pairs and baseball teams-even in 2011, this situation is still very common. In the rugby team, he served as a defensive linebacker, but it was not Top player.

In Adam ’s scout report, he pointedly and directly stated, “Crest is more suitable for baseball than rugby. Of course, he does n’t look like a good baseball player.” A scout report directly led to Kip's loss in the draft. The young and vigorous Kip directly found Adam. When confronted, the two broke up.

But after the passage of time, Kip gradually realized that Adam was right: he was not a good rugby player, nor a good baseball player.

After swiftly ending his career as a professional player, Kip tried to transfer to become a coach and successfully tapped his talent: offensive coach. As a defensive player, he is often able to give quarterbacks or near-fielders a different perspective and tactical layout.

At the same time, Kip took the initiative to turn Adam Ge into a silk, and the two sides became good friends. Three years later, under Adam's needlework, Kip became the assistant coach of the Chicago Bears offensive team, officially entered the league and started his career as a professional coach.

In the past two decades, Kip has coached several teams, ups and downs, but has never been completely unemployed. Last season, he served as a near-end coach at the Carolina Panthers, but unfortunately, the team's record fell to the bottom, "winning" the top pick, so Kip was laid off.

After the twists and turns, Kip came to the San Francisco 49ers who were also trying to make a comeback and became the quarterback coach.

Last season, the San Francisco 49ers ended up with a bad record of only six wins and ten losses. They have not been able to enter the playoffs for eight consecutive years. The two head coaches of the team were both expelled, and then decentralized to the new manager Trent-Baalke (Trent-Baalke) and the new head coach Jim-Harbaugh (Jim-Harbaugh). Members and team players go to stay.

Kip is the quarterback coach appointed by Jim.

The 49 people in San Francisco who are in desperation are now self-defeating and clamoring, and the whole team is undergoing reorganization. The quarterback position is no exception.

The team's existing three quarterbacks, Alex Smith, David Carr, Troy Smith. Alex is the main quarterback, and his strength is above the average level; but the strength of the two backup quarterbacks is unsatisfactory. Trent and Jim are indeed interested in picking rookie quarterbacks in the draft. Substitute to supplement the team's lineup.

But after the rookie training camp evaluation, Trent and Jim both believe that Lu Ke is not suitable for 49 players. They have locked in another four quarterbacks. On the draft, as long as one of them is selected, this is enough to make up the ball. The team's quarterback is deep in the bench. Therefore, they did not even send Lu Ke an invitation to talk.

In the past six weeks, Ya has made dozens of calls, "You must come and see this young man." Time and time again, tirelessly, finally, Kip nodded and agreed, not to investigate Lu Ke, but It is for the friendship of old friends. Twenty-five years of friendship, this is at least one thing he can do.

After walking onto the stadium stands, Kip began to gasp. "I don't like the stands of the college stadium. I never like it. This is really unfriendly to fat people." He started to complain, but the smile of Maitreya Buddha can be seen, he is joking.

"Sometimes, some people, it's worth it." Adam turned his back on the horse's mouth, apparently indicating something.

Kip did not refute, nodded with a smile, "I know. But the best, but not necessarily the most suitable."

Kip admits that in the training camp, he is personally quite optimistic about Lu Ke. Even if the short board is obvious, his passing ability and defensive reading are still impressive; however, Trent and Jim are both teams. There is no Lu Ke's position in the blueprint of the plan. To be precise, there is no Lu Ke's type of quarterback. Therefore, Kip can only give up.

"He comes to train every day?" Kip sat down next to Adam, looking at Lu Ke, who was doing basic pass training on the court, and asked casually.

"Yes, after the rookie training camp ended, every day, there was no interruption." Adam lightly wrote a sentence, but let Kip show a surprised look, which gave Adam a smile in his eyes, "And every day training You have n’t slacked off, you will know by looking at it yourself. What ’s even more incredible is that he has improved again compared to six weeks ago. "

"Haha, Adam, get rid of." Kip laughed loudly.

A breakthrough and progress in strength within six weeks? If it was in high school or early in college, this is possible; but for the players who graduated from the senior year and participated in the draft, their skills and talents have been basically finalized, and the growth space is bound to exist, but it is real. limited.

Adam's evaluation, in Kip's opinion, should be a joke. But then Kip found that Adam didn't speak or excuse, but just stared at the stadium. The determined posture made Kip stunned. He didn't say anything and turned his head to look at the stadium.

The excitement and excitement in the game always make people bloody; but the training in real life is extremely boring. Especially those basic skills, just repeating, repeating, repeating again, without any shortcuts, and can not be lazy at all. Only after experiencing these boring, can the shine shine on the court.

Gradually, gradually, Kip's eyes brightened.

At this time, Lu Ke is conducting fixed-point pass training, but the whole training is a little special.

There is a rope ladder under Lu Ke's feet. He must constantly move left and right to correct his movements. At the same time, he also needs to bypass the small orange cones back and forth to cultivate a sense of movement in his pocket. This requires absolute concentration, just a little bit of thought, and may be tripped directly.

The passing goal is about twenty-five yards away. It is a six-foot net pocket, just like a basketball net, but it is much longer. The entire net is even narrower than the basketball net, which will be enough for rugby. Throw it in; then adjust it to a 45-degree angle to the sky to simulate the position and angle of the catcher's hands catching the ball.

Anthony was standing next to the net pocket, observing and recording the parabola, angle and strength of each pass, and then loudly feedback to Lu Ke, asking for adjustments for the next pass. After thirty passes in one position, Anthony changed positions, possibly closer or farther, to cover different corners of the court as much as possible.

For an hour, for an hour, Lu Ke's pass count was unclear. The first 100, Kip still counted seriously, but gradually, he couldn't keep up. But what is certain is that Lu Ke's passing success rate is really amazing:

The success rate in the short pass area is 90%, only a little more; the success rate in the mid pass area is 80%, which is slightly unstable; the pass success in the long pass area ... Kip I do n’t even remember that Lu Ke had a pass in the long pass area, so it was 100%?

Just thinking about it in his head, Kip was already in shock. He had seen all kinds of fancy passes, and Charile-Frye could even kneel on one knee at the center line of the court and pass the football directly through the goal-sixty yards away The goal is not only the arm strength, but also the influence of wind speed, angle and control.

Today, Kip saw a more miraculous performance. Although this is a bit of an exaggeration, the first player to appear in Kip's mind is Aron Rogers. Of course, there is no comparison between Lu Ke and Aron, and there are many levels of difference between them. However, the character that Keep has in mind at this moment is Aron Rogers.

This hard work and perseverance are truly amazing!

More importantly, Adam did not lie: in just six weeks, Lu Ke ’s strength has once again been significantly improved, not only the passing accuracy, but also the movement of the foot, the entire person ’s control and handling in his pocket More and more comfortable, this has nothing to do with whether there are defensive players involved in training, but the stability, accuracy, and control of Lu Ke's footsteps, which have been improved, all of which make Lu Ke's pass more and more calm.

"God, how did he do it?" Kipp exclaimed, turned his head, and then saw the smug smile on Adam's face. No explanation, no explanation, the facts are clearly in front of you: training, hard training.

Kipp couldn't help laughing, thought about it seriously, and then said, "Adam, I really want to choose him, and I like him too. But, you know, the team has the team's plan, I can't decide." Even though he was stunned, Kip had to speak with pain.

Adam nodded to understand that after so many years in the industry, how could he not know? "I know, not just 49 people, but also other teams. Each team has its own considerations, I just think ..." Adam exhaled softly. "Someone should see, not just me . "

The sorrow and sadness in the words made Kip silent. In just six weeks, the world is full of sea, and it seems that all destiny is doomed. "I'm just thinking that if you don't let you come here for a while, I will definitely regret it. But now that you have been here, I've tried my best, professional sports are so cruel, so that's all."

After being silent for a moment, Adam raised his head and looked at Lu Ke in the field. "You said, are we missing history or are we witnessing history?"

Kip opened his mouth, somewhat stunned.
