Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 193 Ants shake the tree
calm.

This was the only thought in Levi's mind.

Levi recalled that Allen, the captain of the Crimson Tide's defense, had once discussed with him that everyone thinks football is a physical sport - this is true; but if it were just a physical sport, then this sport would not be so attractive.

Just like boxing, it seems to be about strength, body and confrontation on the surface, but in fact, the brain plays an important role in both the boxing ring and the football field.

Observe. Capture. Judge. React.

This is the core.

It would be great if they could have a strong body like Derrick Henry or Marshawn Lynch and sweep away thousands of enemies with unstoppable force; but neither Henry nor Lynch can reach the level of Adrian Peterson. It all comes down to the use of the brain.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that Henry and Lynch don’t know how to use their brains. In fact, they can reach such a high level among a group of perverts in the professional arena, which is inseparable from the use of their brains. It’s just that their talents are more in the body, and relatively speaking, their observation ability in the arena is inevitably weaker.

Running backs are actually the same as quarterbacks, because their starting positions are in the pocket, so they all need to observe, observe the defensive formation, observe the start of the defensive players, otherwise the running backs will end up hitting the wall frequently, like a fool, using their bodies to perish together with the defensive team.

In the NCAA, Levi has developed a habit of observation, which is also an important factor in his success, but the premise is that he has the time and space to observe.

What if not?
For example, the current situation of Levi and Bailey confronting each other.

“Then you need to learn to read body language.”

These are Allen's exact words.

“In one ten-thousandth of a second, observe, read, judge, answer, and then respond.”

"Sometimes you succeed, but most of the time you fail."

"It doesn't matter. The key is to keep trying, gradually it becomes an instinct, and through countless games it accumulates into experience and intuition, and finally becomes the key to turning the situation around at the critical moment of the crucial game. Maybe it's that one ten-thousandth of a second, but it becomes the moment that determines your fate."

"Like a wild animal."

As a top defensive end in the NCAA, Allen told Levi some tips:

Read the trick for defensive ends.

Now, Levi is reading.

After hitting the wall for the first time, Levi was not discouraged. After all, this is a professional arena. Players who can become starters in professional games are all very capable. Never underestimate anyone. This is one of the reasons why he chose to enter the professional league through the draft and continue to challenge his limits.

It’s okay to hit your head against the wall, as long as you don’t keep hitting it to the end.

The second time, Levi started learning immediately.

If there is no way to take advantage of speed and change of direction, and the strength and size confrontation are also inferior, then the correct way to open the confrontation is -

dislocation.

Stay calm, stay focused, Levi is reading Bailey's body language.

The key point is the knuckles.

Just like the start of a 100-meter race, they often support the ground with one or both hands to provide support for the forward leaning movement of the upper body at the moment of starting.

The defensive end has many game responsibilities, but they can be divided into two main parts: one is breaking the screen, and the other is raiding.

Breaking the block means staying where you are, meeting the impact of the offensive front line, and withstanding the shock wave.

A raid is when you take the initiative to move forward, whether it is against the offensive line or the quarterback or running back, the purpose is to apply pressure forward.

Naturally, you can see the intention through the force of the knuckles:
If you attack suddenly, your body will obviously lean forward, and your knuckles will start to exert force, and they will begin to wrinkle or even turn white because of the force carried by the upper body; if you block, the center of gravity of the body will be pressed backwards, and the pressure on the knuckles will not be that great, so the wrinkles on the knuckles will be relatively relaxed.

detail.

In a game, it is often these inadvertent details that reveal intentions.

Good running backs, like good quarterbacks, need to be able to capture these details in the chaos and make calm judgments.

Wheezing. Wheezing.

Levi was breathing heavily and his body could feel the lactic acid being secreted, but the amazing thing was that his attention became more and more focused, as if his blood was burning. He stared at Bailey in front of him, and in a trance he felt the template training mode in the training system again.

The simulated experience and the real experience overlapped, and the scenes that Peterson, Lynch, McCoy and others had seen were presented one by one before their eyes:
Every detail is covered.

"Beep!"

Childress's whistle sounded in his ears, and Levi glanced at it -

Use force on your knuckles.

really!

Bailey started like a tiger descending from a mountain. He pounced head-on in an instant, exerting full force without hesitation. There was a hint of ferocious brutality in his eyes. He showed his sharp claws, ready to bite off the throat of the prey in front of him and then slowly enjoy the fruits of victory. The air was filled with a brutal and bloody smell.

So, what about Levi?

Step. Step.

He kept pushing the ground with his right leg, gathering strength in an orderly manner, and tensed all the muscles in his body, trying to stay focused amid the rolling sounds of fighting and shouting around him.

Then, kick.

Levi also rushed out, just one short step, and the one-yard distance was reduced to zero in the blink of an eye. He pretended to be in a head-on collision, but at the moment when the helmet hit the helmet, his body shifted.

With a slight shift of the center of gravity, the body swung to the right, and both hands pushed towards Bailey's shoulders, a powerful push with little effort.

Light and nimble, just like Tai Chi pushing hands.

boom!
The collision happened in a flash.

"Go, rookie!"

"Bailey! Bailey!"

Amid roars and snarls, the two figures collided head-on, and Bailey's full strength was added to his body weight and pressed down. The face inside the helmet became twisted and distorted due to the force, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

But in an instant, the murderous aura turned into panic.

Levi was just pushing along with the momentum, using the opponent's force to counter attack. He didn't need to actively exert force himself. Bailey, with all his strength pouring out, couldn't control himself at all. After missing the frontal tackle, he fell into a state of weightlessness, and then flew out like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.

boom!
The nearly 300-pound body smashed into the black teppanyaki grill like a piece of meat, making a muffled... sound.

Huh!
Before the onlookers could even scream, one or two of them started grimacing and crying out in pain for Pele. The posture and movement must have broken his jaw.

The ant was shaking the tree, but it never occurred to them that the ant actually won. Pele, falling to the bottom like an elephant, stirred up a cloud of dust and ripples, causing a commotion among the crowd.

Roar!
Exclamation, everyone.

For a moment, looking at Bailey falling into a heap and Levi looking relaxed, he couldn't believe his eyes.

The other defensive players started yelling at Bailey one by one in anger.

"What the hell!"

"Are you f*cking dancing?"

Mahomes was the first to lead the applause, his voice coming from deep in his dantian, "Good job, rookie! Good job!"

Turning around, Mahomes and Kelce high-fived to celebrate, and the rest of the offensive team also clenched their fists and cheered.

The atmosphere is quietly heating up.
