Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1484 Self-disruption
Roar!
After defensive tackle Buckner completed the sack, he still did not give up. He opened his bloody mouth and roared at Mahomes, and the smell of blood hit his face.

The depression, frustration and anguish were all vented out at once.

Buckner was like King Kong, continuously beating his chest, roaring to the sky, staring at Mahomes with his scarlet eyes, creating an aura of suppression.

This is a form of intimidation and oppression.

Buckner's goal is to scare Mahomes so that when he makes his next raid, Mahomes' knees will tremble at the sight of him.

It's not only a celebration, nor is it just a catharsis, but also a strategy. As a fourth-year player, Buckner knows all the twists and turns in the league.

Then, a figure appeared and glanced at Buckner. Through the helmet, one could see the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he was having a hard time trying to hold back his smile.

Buckner was stunned.

That was Levi.

Levi didn't look at Buckner any further. He reached out and grabbed Mahomes' right hand, pulled Mahomes up, and whispered something in Mahomes' ear. Both of them glanced at Buckner at the same time.

Mahomes was still relatively honest and couldn't help but say: Poof.

Mahomes just laughed.

Buckner: ??? What's going on? Something seems wrong, right?

Mahomes looked back at Levi, who muttered something in a low voice. It was clearly a "whisper," but amid the roar of the Hard Rock Stadium, Buckner could vaguely hear the syllables, "Psycho..."

Buckner was struck by lightning, frozen in place, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Psycho, Psycho, Psycho," the words kept repeating in his mind. Buckner thought he was exerting pressure with full momentum, but in the eyes of others, he was full of loopholes... Psycho.

Just like a stage performance, some things seem natural when they are on stage; but when they are off stage, the things that were originally natural become stupid.

The same is true for competitive sports. Those eyes and those smiles once again awakened Buckner's memories of his high school days. He was just a fool who only knew football, so he was always restrained in front of those handsome boys and beautiful girls in school. He was always a clown in their eyes.

Reality hit, dragging Buckner back to his senses. He grabbed his ankles in humiliation and embarrassment, wishing he could crawl into a hole in the ground.

By the time they reacted, Levi and Mahomes had already turned around, completely ignoring Buckner, as if he was a complete joke.

Grass.

Buckner held his breath and turned stiffly back to his defensive line. The other defensive players were about to come up and celebrate with Buckner, but Buckner had neither the time nor the energy to deal with them. He clenched his fists and roared again.

Ah!
The anger erupted continuously.

Ahhhhh!
A small mushroom cloud rose.

In the back, Levi and Mahomes heard it and both laughed, this time with real hearts.

Mahomes looked at Levi with admiration. In fact, Levi didn't say anything just now. He just said, "Laugh. Pretend that you can't hold back your smile."

That's all.

As a result, Buckner, who was originally full of murderous intent, suddenly became a clown, and the frustration and distress of being captured and killed suddenly turned into laughter.

Not only Mahomes, but other offensive players also couldn't help but relax a little when they saw the two people laughing.

There is a perennial hot topic on social networks: in football games, which is more deterrent, a sack or an interception?

Of course, there are different opinions, but the mainstream view is that sacks are good for morale, while interceptions are economical.

The San Francisco 49ers had just suffered an interception and lost the ball in a strong confrontation, but Buckner immediately made a sack, perfectly demonstrating the philosophy of strength and beauty in football. This immediately stabilized the unstable morale of the San Francisco 49ers and restored their morale, which was also a blow to the Kansas City Chiefs.

However, looking at Levi who was chatting and laughing, his slightly shaken mind fell back to the ground.

Levi called the offensive team together, "This is our chance. Believe me, this is an opportunity."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They were caught and killed just now, and now there was an opportunity?
Is this reasonable?
Hill patted the others on the back and said, "If the professor says it's an opportunity, then it is an opportunity. So, what do we need to do?"

As Hill said, the Kansas Chief had a blind trust in Levi. As long as he believed in Levi and followed Levi, he would be able to break out of the siege.

Levi wasn't talking nonsense, he truly believed that the opportunity had come.

Indeed, Mahomes had just been sacked, but behind the sack was Shanahan's panic.

Throughout the game, Shanahan was well prepared and responded promptly. He seemed to change tactics at any time, but in fact he had his own arrangements and plans behind the scenes, demonstrating the qualities of a top coach.

But thinking back carefully, no matter how Shanahan adjusted the tactics, the San Francisco 49ers never disrupted their formation, because Shanahan knew that zone defense was the right way to deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.

So, what happened just now?

For the first time in the game, Shanahan broke his formation in order to sack the quarterback, switching from zone defense to man-to-man defense.

Some people may say that this is just a tactic, maybe it is a coincidence, or maybe it is a special tactical secret weapon like the "Chief's Special", and there is no need to make a fuss.

But Levi disagreed.

Levi believed that given Shanahan's desire to control the overall situation, he would never take the initiative to destroy his own formation unless he was desperate. Even if Shanahan was ready to raid the quarterback, he would not rashly abandon his zone defense formation.

So, when Shanahan does this, there is only one possibility:
crisis.

Shanahan also realized the real crisis. He tried to respond and fight back, but the key point is that Shanahan had no response plan in his mind at this time.

Whether it was pre-match preparation or on-the-spot response, Shanahan began to panic and lose control, so he followed his instinct and took a risk.

On the surface, Buckner's sack of Mahomes boosted the morale of the San Francisco 49ers and responded positively to the Kansas City Chiefs' interception, but in Levy's opinion, the success of this sack might interfere with Shanahan's judgment.

"Wait, this tactic actually worked? Does that mean we should keep trying? Maybe we can really turn the situation around with this strategy?"

"Or should we continue to return to the strategy prepared before the game? After all, we have relied on this tactic to control the situation in the three quarters so far?"

Neither Shanahan nor Reid likes this kind of chaos because things are off track.

But for Levi, it was an opportunity and a moment when he felt like a fish in water.

If the Kansas City Chiefs can seize the opportunity to disrupt the San Francisco 49ers' defensive tactical framework, then after intercepting Garoppolo, they will further disturb the San Francisco 49ers' minds and gradually take control of the situation in the remaining time of the fourth quarter.

The opportunity has arisen.

In the game, opportunities will appear every now and then. It is very important to create opportunities, but it is more important to seize them, because wasting opportunities may cause the situation to slide into the dark abyss on the other side.

"attack!"

Mahomes calls the scrimmage!
