916 Forcibly Interrupted
"More importantly, the bet requires an equal bet. The two bets have completely different weights, and naturally, my bets must be different."
Roar!
Roar!
The reporters' eyes were all projecting towards Valerie, and many of them gave thumbs up at Lu Yiqi, as if they like Lu Yiqi's way of dealing with it. They were like fanatical fans of the show, looking forward to the subsequent development between the male and female protagonists.
But Valerie didn't feel that way, because Lu Yiqi is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with, and even if he goes all out, he will be unable to gain the upper hand. This is the case at this time. Although she is mentally prepared, she was still choked by Lu Yiqi's quibbling and couldn't help but glar at Lu Yiqi, "What is the identity of a reporter? So what is the identity of a woman? Is the famous coach Archie still worried about a female reporter?"
She still couldn't figure out what unexpected actions Lu Yiqi would do in public, and she could not help but feel a little reserved in her words.
However, this answer happened to hit Lu Yiqi's trap. Valerie just said it, and realized that she should not play according to common sense, because she noticed the smile flowing in Lu Yiqi's eyes, and immediately found that she was still trapped in a routine and couldn't help but feel upset.
Sure enough, Lu Yiqi's subsequent words confirmed Valerie's conjecture.
"If you are a reporter, I'm sorry, I refuse to have any interactions with the reporters outside of work, so I can't agree to this bet." Lu Yiqi answered obediently with a sincere face. The reporters at the scene nodded one after another. As expected, Valerie still wanted to take action, and things immediately became different.
"When it comes to a woman's identity..." Lu Yiqi delayed the ending for a little while, "Sorry, I think it's very rude and unprofessional to gambling with personal affairs on the table. It's also a disrespect for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In order to avoid the league questioning my professional qualities, I still need to seriously refuse such things and always eliminate similar possibilities."
One second, two seconds.
What!
Wow!
Ruddy rustling.
The sound at the scene could not stop, and Valerie even stared at Lu Yiqi with wide eyes, cursing with her eyes—
Isn't Lu Yiqi's meaning that no matter what, he will never agree to this bet, right? So he was still whining around in a big circle just now. What does it mean? All reporters, including Valerie, were put on the same note:
This guy!
But Lu Yiqi had an innocent face. He was the team's head coach. How could he start a bet with the reporters in anger?
Not to mention how the league and the team will view him, it is also a bad demonstration for the players, and may even affect the game state; but the problem is that he cannot simply and rudely refuse directly, otherwise the media will definitely pursue and fight hard, and the players will inevitably have self-doubt - is it the coach that doesn't believe they can win?
In desperation, Lu Yiqi chose this method, while joking and jokingly resolving the crisis, while explaining his position calmly.
But the group of reporters who were difficult to serve were obviously unwilling to give up easily. The trivial surging sounds at the scene made the air rush up. Then you could see Lu Yiqi spread his hands, make a helpless expression, and say with a smile, "After all, we don't want to face the situation in April of the previous year again, at least I don't want to."
April 2007?
Shh.
This is a sensitive topic in the league. It does not involve any secrets, but more of a topic that makes people feel regretful and annoying.
In April 2007, Atlanta Falcons star quarterback Michael Vick was sentenced to 21 months in prison for being accused of operating illegal dog fighting. This incident has caused a sensation in North America, and the far-reaching wavelength of the impact can still be clearly felt.
As the No. 1 pick in the draft in 2001, Vick was the first African-American No. 1 pick in the history of NFL, and he is also the founder of running quarterbacks. He still maintains many records of quarterback running yards, quarterback running touchdowns, etc. This is not only a person who pioneered the era, but also a person who changed the league structure. After him, the new generation of running quarterbacks officially appeared on the stage of history and became an indispensable part.
However, such a superstar with a flagrant significance was sentenced to imprisonment for illegal gambling, which was definitely a heavy blow to the image of NFL.
What’s even more coincidental is that Vick will be released from prison next week, and his whereabouts will also become the focus of sports journalists - can he return to the league to play? Can he continue his career? Or is this genius who fell and announced his retirement in a lonely way?
At this moment, Lu Yiqi publicly mentioned the incident of "April 2007". Even without any extra keywords, the reporters present would not understand the mistakes, so they all shut their mouths-
They don’t want to bear the accusation of “publicly instigating coaches to gamble illegally”. This is definitely the blame that journalists don’t want to take. Moreover, this is the Super Bowl. If you don’t consider the comments from netizens, you also need to consider the attitude of the league. If you accidentally offend Goodall, it will be really not worth the loss.
Therefore, even if the reporters are dissatisfied with it, they can only shut up, but the eyes of turning to Lu Yiqi are even more mixed. This young coach can always bring surprises, sharp and sharp.
No one expected that Lu Yiqi would cut off all the possibilities of the topic extension in such a decisive way, and instantly let Guru's tumbling enthusiasm cool down. Even the scandal between Valerie and Lu Yiqi was forcibly interrupted by the stiffness and sensitivity of the topic. It has to be said that such interruption skills are indeed clever.
There were so many reporters gathered in the crowd, but no one could make things difficult for Lu Yiqi. Although Lu Yiqi had been put on the bonfire by Valerie, Lu Yiqi finally easily got rid of the predicament and kept the reporters on the scene.
But for Valerie, it felt very bad. It was like a wake-up call. A punch suppressed all restlessness and expectations. In addition to disappointment, you could feel a strong sense of sadness. The emotions collapsed instantly, and the expression was a bit mixed.
Bitering her lower lip, Valerie could not tell what the complicated emotions in her chest were. She regretted that Lu Yiqi escaped the trap again or because of something else, and could not tell for a while. Valerie didn't like this feeling of losing control, but she could not do anything about it.
Just as Valerie paused a little, another reporter keenly grabbed the gap and launched a new attack while the chaos was in trouble. Obviously, there was no plan to calm down.
