Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1656 Looking at each other
Watt admitted that, in the deepest, most hidden corner of his heart, he wavered.

Watt experienced this situation more than once in his career: they saw hope, they saw the dawn, and everything went smoothly; but then they fell into trouble without warning, as if misfortune had struck, easily destroying everything, and then a season's efforts turned into nothing.

Once. Twice. Three, four, five, six times.

Over time, Watt also began to doubt himself. Even the most determined and powerful soul begins to waver, and the seeds of self-doubt take root and sprout.

Now, a familiar scenario is unfolding once again, from the Houston Texans to the Kansas Chiefs; Watt's worst nightmare has returned.

Perhaps he was a curse; perhaps he was destined to never win the Super Bowl; perhaps he was the jinx that destroyed the team's championship hopes.

Look at today, Josh Jacobs completed a long-distance running touchdown, and as a defensive forward, Watt was unable to stop the opponent in time, and even watched helplessly as the opponent completed the comeback and won the game. He must take responsibility for this, and he has no room to escape or shirk it.

The moment the game ended, Watt really wanted to leave, to leave far away.

He didn't care if others said he was cowardly, weak, or that he was escaping reality or running away. The only thing he cared about was whether he was ruining Levi's and the Kansas City Chiefs' chance to win four consecutive championships, and whether he, who should have been the icing on the cake for the team, was dragging the team down.

After the match, he greeted and shook hands with Li Wei. Although he maintained a smile and a professional attitude, Li Wei must have seen something in his eyes.

Therefore, Li Wei interrupted the interview, stepped forward to defend his teammates, and even risked being fined and warned by the league to confront the reporter.

As a teammate, as a captain, and as a friend, Li Wei displayed all the best qualities; he defended Watt and regained control of him.

Watt simply wanted to tell Levi a thank you, and that no matter what difficulties or storms they faced, he would stand shoulder to shoulder with Levi and face them together with equanimity.

but!

Plans can't keep up with changes; who could have imagined that Mahomes would beat them to it!
What should we do now?
Of course, Watt knew Mahomes and had formed a friendship with him in the private training camp. He wasn't worried about Mahomes' presence, but rather about the conversation.

My guess is that Mahomes was worried that Levi was worried about the team, so he sneaked back to give Levi a surprise. Now that Mahomes and Levi are getting back on track and seem to have regained their chemistry, wouldn't Watt's sudden appearance have ruined the atmosphere?

Watt wanted to help, not make things worse.

Subconsciously, his first thought was to leave. Leaving would solve the problem, or he could pretend to bump into Mahomes in the parking lot, giving him enough time and space to have a conversation without making things too awkward. But either way, he needed to leave immediately.

Watt emerged from under the stairs, his once-hard muscles proving useless; stiff and clumsy, he nearly tripped over himself.

He stumbled and flew forward—

Oops!

Watt took a deep breath and held it, swallowing the gasp that escaped his lips. He took several small, quick steps to maintain his balance and braked just before crashing into the wall.

Upon looking at the situation, Watt realized that he had missed his chance. If he turned around and ran away now, wouldn't that be the same as exposing his whereabouts for nothing?
Quick thinking! Adaptability!
Watt simply pushed open the locker room door on his right. There was so much space inside; he could easily hide himself.

Ok?
and many more!

Why can't I push open the locker room door?

Is it stuck?

Watt panicked a little. Seeing Mahomes and Levi getting closer, he pushed his whole body forward, adding his weight and strength.

boom.

With a muffled thud, Watt finally pushed open the locker room door. A muffled groan came from behind the door. Watt darted into the locker room, hurriedly closed the door, and turned around to see Kelsey lying on the ground, sprawled out.

Kelsey was dizzy and disoriented, but she didn't forget her mission. She raised her hands high, "Surprise!" Unfortunately, before she could even utter the word "surprise," Kelsey froze when she saw Watt in front of her, even forgetting to stand up while lying on the ground. "JJ?"

Watt's eyes widened as well, "Travis?"

The two of them stared at each other, dumbfounded, their brains simultaneously shutting down, completely unable to react to the scene before them.

Kelsey's mind worked a little faster. "What... ah, you're here for the newbies too?"

Watt suddenly realized: You too?

But there was no time to lose. Watt immediately realized the crisis. "The rookies are behind us. We need to hide. I don't know if they'll go straight to the parking lot or come to the locker room."

Kelsey grabbed Watt's outstretched right hand, used it for leverage, and stood up. "Them? What about them?"

Watt, "Patrick intercepted the rookie ahead."

Kelsey, "What? Patrick? That guy actually sneaked back without telling me..."

Watt glanced back at Kelsey: Didn't you sneak back too?
Kelsey immediately understood and straightened her back confidently, "He was the one who slipped away first."

Looking left and right, Kelsey pulled Watt towards the shower room—

The lockers in the locker room can also be used as hiding places. Many lockers have jerseys hanging on them, like curtains, so you can hide inside and they won't be seen.

But Kelsey and Watt were both big guys, and they were too cramped to be in the lockers. They'd rather go into the shower.

Anyway, Li Wei had already taken a bath, so he probably wouldn't go inside again.

The two tiptoed toward the shower, Watt reminding them, "Watch out, watch out, be careful, you might slip."

Kelsey burst out laughing. "It would be hilarious if you slipped and got hurt here."

As soon as they reached the shower room door, they saw Hill inside winking and gesturing for them to shut up, with a group of people waving and gesturing for the two of them to be quiet.

Kelsey and Watt exchanged a bewildered glance, their jaws nearly dislocated, utterly bewildered.

Chris Jones had no time to explain. He strode forward, and he and Mattiu each pulled one of the two men into the shower room.

Kelsey mouthed, "What's going on? You guys?"

Hill shook his head repeatedly. "There's no time to explain. We'll get ready immediately."

Watt, "...Patrick intercepted the rookie on the outermost edge, and we don't know if the rookie will come over."

Hill and the others exclaimed, "What!"

"That Patrick guy actually beat me to it!"

"No, no, no, I just confirmed. Rookie's gear bag is still in the locker room. He will definitely come over. He always brings his training gear, game videos, and tactics manual with him when he goes home."

For a moment, the shower room became incredibly noisy and chaotic.

The next second, the sound of a door opening came from the changing room outside. In an instant, as if by some magical spell, it gripped the throats of everyone in the shower room, freezing them in place, their limbs stiffening, only their eyes darting around—

What's next?
