Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1469 A Big Mountain

Be calm, think and plan.

Just try it out, control the damage, plan for the long term, and strategize.

The so-called abrupt stop is not cowardice, but accumulation of strength; the so-called emergency brake is not conservative, but wise.

This theory from Andrews, while absurd to the point of being absurd to the point of being ridiculous, actually has a sense of reality and fits Shanahan’s profile very well.

In the live broadcast room, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Buck, "So, in the final analysis, what you mean is that he doesn't believe Garoppolo can complete the task, he is worried that Garoppolo will fail so he prevents the disaster from happening in advance, in this way to protect Garoppolo? At the same time, it is also to protect the offensive rhythm of the San Francisco 49ers in the second half?"

ANDREWS: ...

I didn't expect it could be interpreted this way?

Meyers, “That’s also an interpretation, isn’t it?”

“But here’s the thing, let’s assume Erin is correct, whether it’s about not trusting Garoppolo or protecting Garoppolo, but we shouldn’t waste six seconds casually.”

"We can choose to pass the ball short, we can choose to run the ball, we can even choose to fake a kickoff to induce a foul, or fake a move to look for an opportunity but if there is no opportunity, we will give up and fall to the ground with the ball."

"We have different strategies and tactics. Recall the meeting between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2017 regular season. Reid also did not believe in Alex Smith's ability to pass the Hail Mary, but he still found Levi through a short pass and then completed the task through Levi."

"The San Francisco 49ers' running back committee has the ability to do this, rather than simply sit back and watch the clouds roll by and let time pass."

"Troy, what do you think?"

Aikman nodded. "Of course. That's true."

"I agree 100 percent."

"But the thing is, on the Super Bowl stage, there was a huge amount of information, our brains couldn't function properly, and our on-the-spot judgments might not have been accurate. Looking back, I also wondered why I made such a judgment and choice at the time."

"This is not to defend Shanahan. What I mean is that if the San Francisco 49ers win the final victory, then all of us should shut up; but if the Kansas City Chiefs defend their title, Shanahan's judgment and choice this time need to be reviewed, and it may even be the turning point of victory or defeat."

"Maybe, we can understand the real reason behind Shanahan's decision from the post-game press conference; maybe, we will never know whether Shanahan doesn't believe in Garoppolo or protects Garoppolo. But this is competitive sports, and the results will give all the answers."

Cool, cruel, but true.

Aikman remains true to himself.

Without hesitation, Buck was the first to applaud. "Indeed. We are sitting here talking about it, but it's all nonsense. We still need to watch the second half."

"For now, it's '14:14', a tie."

"This is only the fourth time in Super Bowl history that the game has been tied at halftime. In the second half, both sides had opportunities. As we analyzed, the San Francisco 49ers were in good momentum, but now the Kansas City Chiefs have gained valuable breathing space and are showing a counterattack momentum. The suspense of the outcome is still a question mark."

"Looking at the chaos in the live studio, I believe the locker rooms of the two teams should be about the same."

"If I had the opportunity to sneak into the locker room and take a look, I would be willing to pay extra to see it."

confusion!

Total chaos, a hurricane is passing through.

From Fox to ESPN, professionals in the live broadcast rooms were collectively shocked; and the heated discussions on social networks were even more explosive.

Originally, it should have been the halftime show, the annual American carnival. This year, two Latin queens, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, took the stage together to present a series of exciting songs and dances, which attracted a lot of attention and triggered countless heated discussions two months ago.

Now, the hot performances of the two divas were completely ignored, and "Kyle Shanahan's Six Seconds" became the top keyword on the social network's hot search list. Compared with the fans of the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, the spectators and neutral fans were even more crazy, and the discussion was endless. The bustling voices pushed it to a new peak at this moment.

Everything, just as Aikman said.

Now, all the pressure falls on Shanahan's shoulders.

He is the champion. He is a genius, a master of mind control, a king of moderation. With one clever move, he completely reversed the situation.

If he fails, he will be the sinner, making the most basic and rookie mistake of a head coach in the league and watching helplessly waste the opportunity to overthrow the Kansas City Chiefs.

It's just that simple, the winner is the king and the loser is the villain.

In terms of the score, Shanahan's "silence" had no impact; but from a psychological perspective, the six-second blank created ripples.

So, what about reality?

Away team locker room: …

Quiet. Silence. Complete silence.

One by one, they moved carefully and cautiously, with confusion in their eyes. Some of them still hadn't recovered from the foul call on Kittle when he received the ball, some didn't understand how the last six seconds suddenly disappeared, and some were trying to digest what happened in the final moments.

A little depressing.

That heavy mountain not only weighs on Shanahan's shoulders, but also on the shoulders of the San Francisco 49ers.

After all, this is the Super Bowl and no one wants to have any regrets.

Until a voice broke the deadlock, "Well, my acting is pretty good, right? I fooled all of you?"

Kittel spread his hands, his mouth full of smiles.

But then, he cursed, "Damn it, it's a pity that the referee saw it. It was so close, just a little bit short of fooling them."

boom!
The entire locker room suddenly exploded with a lot of noise.

The home team's locker room had no time to think about the ins and outs of the last six seconds, because they had to face a more serious problem -

vomit.

Once he returned to the locker room, Fowler could no longer control himself. He didn't even have time to rush to the trash can. After entering the room, he turned around, leaned his back against the wall next to the door, supported his knees with his hands, and vomited on the spot, as if all his internal organs were about to be vomited out. He was completely soaked in sweat, but he couldn't tell whether it was hot sweat or cold sweat.

Breland immediately covered Fowler's back with a towel, and others around him also handed him towels.

Fowler waved his hands, trying to comfort everyone and say that he was fine. However, before he could open his mouth, he vomited again. This time, there was nothing in his stomach, only a surge of acid. His body curled up, his tense muscles clearly showed his pain, and his whole body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Levi understood that feeling. He was physically exhausted, but he had been gritting his teeth and persevering. He was so immersed in the game that he didn't notice suddenly that he had to brake suddenly and then he couldn't control it anymore.

In the first half, both the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers fought back and forth with bloodshed, and the intensity and frequency were always maintained at a high level.

This is a test for both sides.

Not only is the tolerance rate low, the slightest mistake may lead to a change in the course of the game; but the mental and physical consumption is also terrible, draining the body and requiring all the strength to be exerted.

You don’t even have to wait until the second half, you can feel the aftereffects of the first half during the halftime break.
