Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1181: One Breath Short
“Touchdown!”

In the VIP box, Swift shouted as loud as she could, but she was a little unsure. She turned to look at Ariana and asked excitedly.

"It's a touchdown, right? Right!"

Wembley, in a frenzy——

Everything was as expected.

With the Los Angeles Lightning exploding on both offense and defense and chasing them relentlessly, the Kansas City Chiefs quickly gained a foothold, regained the initiative with an unparalleled performance, and scored another touchdown with a smooth attack.

Does Mahomes need time and games to get back in shape and adapt to the confrontation?

no problem.

The Kansas City Chiefs' tactical focus fell on Levi, returning to the game mode when Moore was the quarterback, reducing the pressure on Mahomes while continuing to advance with dazzling tactical coordination.

Light, yet sharp.

Bosa felt annoyed as he watched Kelsey cheering and celebrating wildly.

However, compared to Kelsey, the real troublemaker is Levi.

Levi seemed calm and steady, his eyes looking at the other side of the court. Bosa followed Levi's gaze and found his quarterback Rivers.

Then, with the corners of his mouth raised, he mouthed, "Do you need me to drain the water?"

Bosa's expression changed suddenly, but he saw Rivers grinning.

“Bird?”

Rivers is also a smart man. His trash talk is concise and clear but shows his level.

In the NBA, "Big Bird" Larry Bird can be said to be a master of trash talk. The most amazing thing about him is that his trash talk is often fulfilled. It is not just random talk, but can really piss off opponents.

Rivers' trash-talking style has many similarities to Bird's.

Rivers added, "Why not give it a try?" He grinned, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, and raised his jaw provocatively towards Levi.

If Levi was ready to let go arrogantly, Rivers would not be stupid enough to refuse.

That's not pride, that's stupidity.

Rivers knew that Levi was humiliating him in this way, but in Rivers's opinion, he was not a middle school student. His head could be broken and blood could flow, but his hair could not be messed up. He could not fight for meaningless pride and dignity. Victory was the only important thing and the only thing worth paying attention to.

Obviously, Rivers is a level higher than Bosa.

Levi saw that Rivers didn't take the bait, but he didn't mind. The corners of his mouth also rose, "Get ready!"

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and slowly backed away, looking at Rivers with a smile on his face and anticipation in his eyes. His generous and inviting attitude made Rivers uncertain.

It is worthy of being a divisional civil war, worthy of being a war of revenge, and the air is filled with smoke.

"21:13".

The Kansas City Chiefs widened the gap again, and the pressure was on Rivers' shoulders.

Strictly speaking, it is not surprising. The Kansas City Chiefs are still the Kansas City Chiefs, relying on offense to open up the situation, regain the rhythm, and turn the situation around.

Now, the Los Angeles Lightning must keep up, and after regaining their form through two consecutive offensive waves, the test continues.

The Los Angeles Lightning are mentally prepared for this.

After all, this was their only way to overtake the score and take the initiative. No matter how the Kansas City Chiefs performed, they had to score again.

Rivers, once again on the battlefield.

Under pressure, the Los Angeles offense showed a style comparable to last season.

Solid pocket protection, dazzling route running and unpredictable passing options, the authentic West Coast offensive system, with the quarterback as the core, spreads the power of the offensive team across the board.

Accurate short passes, sneak passes and clever running complete the coordination.

Rivers led the team across the half court with a strong and smooth performance.

However, pressure exists objectively after all, whether it is the indirect pressure created by the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive team's full recovery and strong touchdowns, or the direct pressure brought by the Kansas City Chiefs' defensive team that has comprehensively improved its intensity under the encouragement of the offensive team's performance, all of which are quietly changing the atmosphere.

Finally, it is the Los Angeles Lightning themselves. This season, the problem of weak performance and fluctuations in key moments has appeared again.

Even if they were fully focused and tried their best, they still couldn't maintain consistency and continuity. They either made mistakes or their form fluctuated, which put the Los Angeles Lightning in trouble time and time again and dug their own grave.

It's unfair to rely solely on Rivers to turn the tide.

After the Los Angeles Lightning offense advanced across half court, the intensity of the offensive and defensive confrontation increased significantly, and the situation became increasingly stalemate.

Ten yards in one gear.

"Chris Jones! The Kansas City Chiefs' six-man pass rush was very determined. Although the Los Angeles Lightning's offensive line was prepared for pocket protection, Jones still broke into the pocket and rushed towards Rivers."

"Rivers! Attack!"

"Jones! Interference!"

"The experienced Rivers refused to wait to be sacked and shot first; but Jones, who had grown comprehensively since last season, was quick to react and interfered with Rivers' passing vision and passing space, forcing Rivers to raise the parabola."

"Oh, the pass was incomplete! Rivers' pass trajectory was not pressed."

"Nice, Jones made an effective pass interference!"

Second gear, ten yards.

"Short pass on the screen!"

"Rivers! Gordon!"

"Gordon was looking to push into the gap, but it was clear that the Kansas City Chiefs' defense was prepared. With the entire defensive front line being moved, safeties Sorensen and Mathieu filled the gap in time."

"It was a great teamwork. Sorensen and Mathieu teamed up to complete a key defense. The Kansas City Chiefs' entire defense team contracted very well."

Three gears and seven numbers.

"Shotgun formation!"

"Step back! Rivers is looking for a pass target, and the Los Angeles Lightning offense is going all out! They are now trying desperately to complete the third-gear conversion!"

"My pocket is torn!"

"Rivers! Rivers is moving, Rivers is fighting for space, Rivers refuses to surrender, Rivers escapes a sack crisis!"

"incredible!"

"Pass the ball, Rivers, complete the pass before you lose your balance!"

"The target of the pass is... Keenan Allen! The number one wide receiver of the Los Angeles Chargers!"

"Wow! God, God, oh, God!"

"Kansas Chiefs cornerback Fowler took a step ahead and jumped to slap the football at the last moment, disrupting the pass in front of Allen, causing the pass to be incomplete!"

"incredible!"

"However, Fowler was clearly dissatisfied and, having come so close to making an interception, he missed the opportunity to convert the ball and continue his attack."

"Nevertheless! Strikeout!"

"Wonderful!"

In the most critical, difficult and stalemate situation, the Los Angeles Chargers' offense showed courage and determination, but the Kansas City Chiefs' defense was still better, bursting out in time to keep up with the status and completing excellent defense.

Rivers had already used all his skills, without holding back, but there was still something lacking. He was about to break through and score a touchdown, but at the last hurdle he hit a wall and stopped, unable to continue.

Perhaps this is the biggest difference between the Los Angeles Lightning this season and last season——

It was just a slight difference, but he continued to fall into the abyss while wavering left and right.

Rivers lay on the ground, watching the football being intercepted, almost being stolen, and finally escaping, but still regretfully failing to pass the ball. After this ups and downs of his mental journey, he plunged into endless darkness.

Damn!
