Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 129 The target of public criticism
It was packed with people.

Looking ahead, there was a dark mass that seemed to have no end in sight; even the Georgia Dome, the venue for the Peach Bowl, seemed small in front. The surging crowd blocked the scene.

Besides people, they are still people.

Right in front of you is the home stadium of the NFL team Atlanta Falcons, which has also been the venue for the Peach Bowl for the past 23 years.

This year is a little special.

Because this will be the last year that the Georgia Dome will host any events, the building will be demolished in ten months, and the landmark building that carries countless memories of the city and its citizens will become history.

There are fewer and fewer games to watch, so today's Peach Bowl attracted an incredible crowd, with almost half of Atlanta coming out in full force; plus today is the last day of 2016, New Year's Eve, so countless citizens have chosen to come to the Georgia Dome to celebrate this anniversary.

The scene was spectacular.

Levi thought that they had experienced a whole season of playing in a stadium with 100,000 people at home, so facing any scene should be a piece of cake. However, when they actually arrived at the scene, they couldn't help but marvel:
Different. Really different.

The bowl game is here.

"Levi, are you planning to stay in the NCAA for another year?"

"Next season, would you like to continue playing football or return to mixed martial arts?"

"Do you think you are ready for the challenge of the professional league? After all, the NFL is another level of competition. Do you think Chinese players can adapt to the intensity?"

"Who do you think is the biggest opponent for the Crimson Tide's title defense? Clemson led by Watson?"

“Are you confident against the University of Washington?”

Chirping and bustling.

The microphone was stuffed directly into Levi's throat without hesitation, as if it wanted to reach his stomach in one step. The three layers of media reporters inside and outside reminded people of the scene of "The Walking Dead".

Obviously, Levi is still the focus of the topic, and everyone is trying to get a piece of the pie from Levi. The media, who are fickle, have long forgotten Lamar Jackson. It turns out that the professional league is also a cruel world where "they only see the newcomers laughing and ignore the old ones crying."

however.

Just as Levi was about to speak, a fat figure squeezed out from behind, protected Levi, pushed the reporter away rudely and brutally, and roared with bared teeth like a hen protecting her chicks.

"Back off, everyone back off!"

"Haven't you heard about the media ban? Get out of my way if you don't want to be banned from Bryant-Denny Stadium next season."

"Don't make me call the guards to clear the area."

"Back off! God damn it, everyone back off!"

Burns, with a ferocious look on his face.

All the media reporters were stunned. They were not afraid of Burns, but they were afraid of Shaban. They also knew that Shaban was a man of his words. It would be terrible if Shaban completely banned the media from entering the Crimson Tide's home court next season.

Subconsciously, the reporters raised their cameras and pressed the shutter button at Burns's ferocious face.

But Burns doesn't buy it. He doesn't care even if it is exposed by reporters. The news that Shaban issued a media ban has already spread throughout the entire football field. Not only the NCAA, but also the NFL is a hot topic.

"roll!"

"Go away!"

Not only did Burns ignore it, he also raised his middle finger and asked all the media to move away.

Finally, the reporters began to retreat. No one wanted to anger Shaban.

The consequences may be something they cannot bear.

The bustling crowd in front of him made way for a passage like the Red Sea before Moses. Burns patted Levi's shoulder and signaled with his eyes.

Levi then took his first steps, smiling and walking calmly in the welcoming eyes. Those sharp and piercing eyes wanted to kill Levi, but they didn't dare to act rashly. The players of the Red Tide Storm walked forward, and finally a reporter couldn't help but shout at Levi's back.

"Levi, Budda-Baker said you only have a 'pretty-face', how do you respond?"

Budda Baker, the star quarterback at the University of Washington, was the Peach Bowl opponent of the Alabama Crimson Tide.

He is generally considered to have the ability of a first-round or second-round draft pick, and unlike most black safeties, he does not have an advantage in physical talent. His height of 5.8 feet (178 cm) often puts him at a disadvantage in confrontations, but his judgment, positioning, and skills are at an excellent level.

This is a player who is always learning and growing.

This is indeed the case. Although he did not have many honors in college, he has continued to grow after entering the professional league. His performance of five Pro Bowls, two All-American first team and two All-American second team far exceeded the scouts' judgment of him.

Simply put, this is a player who plays with his brain.

In fact, this season, Baker's performance has been enough to rank among the top, and he is undoubtedly the leader of the University of Washington team.

Before the game, Baker started to make noises to distract Levi.

"Pretty face" is extremely insulting, and there is no need to elaborate on the subtext.

Sure enough, Levi stopped.

Clark was a little worried, "Levi."

Jacobs looked calm, and it was easy for Levi to deal with all this trash talk.

"Thank you."

Levi's voice came in the air.

Not only the reporters were stunned, but even Clark and Jacobs were stunned. Didn't Levi understand the subtext of Baker's nickname?

No way……

"But no, I'm not interested."

Levi continued to speak, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and walked slowly forward without pausing, and left.

puff.

Allen was the first one who couldn't control himself and burst out laughing. Levi was really good at cursing without using any dirty words. Even the reporters didn't react. Seeing the confusion and hesitation among the people at the scene, the players of the Crimson Tide laughed wildly and wantonly -

Baker said Levi's embroidered pillow was good-looking but not useful.

Levi hinted that Baker complimented his looks because she was secretly in love with him, but he refused.

There are mountain high mountain.

I have to say, when it comes to the art of trash talk, there is a clear gap between others and Levi.

The reporter finally reacted a beat late and laughed extremely happily.

Entering the bowl game and standing on the national stage, the level of attention and the intensity of the confrontation rise to a new level. Levi, who emerged this season and dominated the hot topics in college and professional leagues, naturally became the target of public criticism. Everyone wants to beat Alabama and everyone wants to beat Levi.

Not only Baker, the University of Washington quarterback is also ready with ammunition.

"No, I don't care about Levi. In my opinion, he is not a threat. The only thing we need to focus on is the Crimson Tide's defense. Allen, Foster, and Humphrey are the heroes of the Crimson Tide."

"In my opinion, the media should focus on the player who actually got the Crimson Tide to where they are now, instead of making unnecessary gimmicks because of who he is and the color of his skin. Honestly, he's just a pretty face."

Roar, roar, this move is powerful. It seems to be a compliment, and it doesn't even have much edge, but in fact it is -

A strategy of sowing discord?
