Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 194: Rookie Establishes His Authority
Childress showed a hint of surprise. He didn't expect Levi to adapt so quickly. He played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses and immediately found a solution.

Childress couldn't help but turn and look at Reed.

Reed still had a poker face, but his eyes were clearly on Levi, and one small movement showed that he was just as surprised.

Generally speaking, running backs can be plug-and-play, and there are many running backs who perform well in their rookie season; but the key is, how should the coach bring out the best in the running backs?

Just like the Tennessee Titans last season, Henry had a lot of skills but didn't make the best use of them, which was a pure waste of talent.

Now, Reed's brain began to work at high speed.

In the ring, Bailey was angry.

If it was just a little bit of unpleasantness before and there was no personal emotion; then now, he was embarrassed in front of everyone, and Bailey's anger suddenly swelled up.

Grass!
Bailey climbed up using his hands and feet, not even bothering to adjust his jersey. After a moment of dizziness, he repositioned himself to Levi's position.

"Well, do you dare to do it again?"

"But if you're scared, just tell me. This is just training. There's no need to take it too seriously. After all, you're a rookie. We'll be gentle with you."

There was a torrential rain and crackling noise venting out, but it was obvious that Bailey was worried that Levi would refuse, so he took the opportunity to provoke Levi to make it difficult for him to back down and prevent him from turning around and leaving, otherwise he would never get back the face he had just lost. Those eyes stared at Levi fiercely.

And what about Levi?

Just in time.

A free sandbag and a free sparring partner are simply perfect. If he were training privately, he would have to pay extra to invite such a sparring partner. But now one is delivered to his door, Levi welcomes him with both hands and feet. How could he refuse?

So, who is the hunter and who is the prey?
Levi didn't answer either, he went straight into the ring, lined up for the third time, and was ready -

He bent over, bent his knees, supported himself on the ground with one hand, looked at Bailey with bright eyes, his whole body burning with fighting spirit, and that posture clearly issued a challenge.

Originally, Bailey was worried that Levi would refuse, but he didn't expect that Levi would provoke him back: Damn, I've been fooled by this rookie.

There was a lot of noise all around, with one or two people joining in the commotion, hoping to create chaos.

Reid is right to be concerned.

The media has repeatedly questioned the Kansas City Chiefs' draft decisions, and naturally the players surrounded by this information are inevitably affected. Maybe they have no hostility towards these rookies, but subconsciously they do not believe that these rookies are the right choice, and they are inevitably picky.

Levi was the first to be hit.

After all, he is the third place in the imperial examination.

Now, the atmosphere is heating up. The defensive team is cheering for Bailey, hoping that Bailey can give the rookie a good training lesson; the offensive team is cheering for Levi, hoping that Levi can show the courage of a newborn calf and prove himself. The collision between them creates a sense of tension.

Watching the scene quietly, Reed couldn't help feeling worried, but Childress, Rubin and the others were all looking up at him, so he didn't show it; his eyes were fixed on Levi. If Levi could turn this adversity around, all problems would be solved.

Previously, team manager Veach wondered how a running back, a rookie, and an outsider could become a leader in the Crimson Tide.
Now, Reed suddenly realized that perhaps now was the time to witness the answer. Could Levi replicate his performance in the Crimson Tide?
In front of us, Levi and Bailey are ready. The tense and stimulating feeling spreads from their heels to their shoulders. Both of them are full of passion. Their sweaty and steamy appearance ignites the air. The hoarse shouts of support around them burst out with incredible and amazing energy.

"Beep".

The whistle blew for the third time.

Levi has been observing. He knows that he is at a disadvantage. Judging from his physique and strength alone, he is not qualified to confront Bailey head-on. If he wants to form a confrontation or even overturn the situation, he must start with his brain and be not only calm but also careful.

——Knuckles.

Don't move. In a split second, Levi caught the details and immediately determined Bailey's intention:

Stand your ground.

If Bailey stood still, he would be like a wall, and it would be almost impossible for Levi to break through or get rid of his tackle.

In the game, Levi would use a change of direction to shake off Bailey and break through from the side; but this was training, a one-on-one fight, and Levi simply did not have enough space to get rid of him.

There was no other choice but to break through head-on. But in this way, Bailey had an innate advantage, relying on his size and strength to seize an invincible position.

So, what to do?
Levi was not panicked. In fact, he immediately realized that Bailey's calmness, which seemed to be conservative on the surface, was actually Bailey's conservatism in essence.

Bailey did not fully utilize his size and strength advantages, but tried to hold the bottom line. The moment this thought came out, he gave the initiative to his opponent.

Levi knew what he should do.

Push off the ground, start, and sprint.

In his sight, he could see Bailey's fleshy mountain stretching across the front, blocking his entire field of vision. He stretched out his hands, ready to meet Levi's attack.

However, Levi bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, even lower than usual.

Generally speaking, the grappling position is the waist, which is the most appropriate position to exert force; but now, Levi lowered it to the position of Bailey's knee.

The answer has come out——

Not a collision, but a grapple.

Levi took the initiative. Usually, the defensive player would tackle the offensive player, but now it was the offensive player who tackled the defensive player and lowered his center of gravity.

Snap. Grapples Bailey's knee.

Bailey panicked, everything happened too fast, he did not expect Levi to choose to tackle, let alone Levi's lowering of the center of gravity to tackle his knees. His hands, which were ready to block Levi's charge, were now waving helplessly like the rubber balloon man at the supermarket door, completely useless.

Bang. Push, impact, push forward.

Then, Levi lifted Bailey up like a wrestler, put him over his shoulder, and threw him away.

Ah!
Ahhhhh!
Bailey was thrown 360 degrees into the air like a sandbag and landed on his back, unable to move, lying on the ground, instantly overwhelmed by shame.

Wow.

The whole audience roared.

Both the offensive and defensive teams were stunned. Even Mahomes was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe what Levi had just done.

Over the shoulder throw. It was actually an over the shoulder throw.

Reed's shoulders relaxed slightly. It had to be said that Levi's performance was unexpectedly outstanding. He actually adapted perfectly to the professional-level confrontation. When he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, an accident occurred again.

Bailey rolled over and stood up clumsily but swiftly. He was furious and really mad. He rushed towards Levi with his fists clenched.

The players and coaches around did not expect this scene and had no time to stop it. Even their screams were stuck and their hearts were blocked in their throats.

Oops!
