Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 210 Bare teeth and claws
"Wow."

NBC defeated a number of rivals in fierce competition to grab the exclusive live broadcast rights for the 2017 season opener. Al-Michaels, a professional commentator with more than years of experience in the industry, was in person to accompany the audience to witness this historic moment.

I was amazed at the opening.

"I mean, wow."

"This is the most combative Gillette Stadium I can remember. Of course, we've seen a lot of history in this stadium, but today is different."

"today."

"We are about to see the first Asian American first-round draft pick play in professional football. This is undoubtedly a historic moment."

"And he's going up against the best player in the league and the most successful team of the past 15 years. It's going to be a tough challenge, but it also adds some flavor to a historic moment."

"It's a good thing for the audience, but we have to worry about whether it's too cruel for the rookie."

"In the preseason, this rookie has already proved with his actions that he can adapt to professional competitions. But the problem is that competitions in professional competitions are not one or two collisions, but thousands of collisions."

"That's the point. Robert Griffin III is the best example."

"So, how Andy Reid will plan is a key; whether the Kansas City Chiefs' decision to select two running backs in the draft is due to their concerns about the rookie's ability to compete, we have no way of knowing, but it is definitely a focus of attention."

"Oh, we forgot one important thing."

"Lee. Wei."

"This rookie is called Levi, and he wears the No. 23 jersey of the Kansas City Chiefs. If you are interested, you can follow him with us."

"Of course, apart from Levi, this game is much more than that..."

In the live broadcast room, Michaels was diligently doing the pre-match commentary.

On the sidelines of the court, Reed was looking for Levi in ​​the crowd with a slightly worried look—

Originally, he didn't need to worry. Football is a team sport, and even if there is pressure, it often all falls on the shoulders of the quarterback.

But now the topic of "Rookie VS Goat" is completely out of control. Everyone on the entire social network is discussing it. The topic tag has even become a hot search. Even the coaching staff has seen it, let alone the players?
The NCAA is the NCAA, the NFL is something completely different…

Reed was stunned, and his thoughts were cut off before they could go any further. He knew that he didn't need to worry about Levi. His calmness and boldness in the final battle of the U.S. Championship was definitely not an accident.

So, what did Reed see?
"Levi, what are you looking at?" Mahomes was a little excited and impetuous. He couldn't help sitting down, standing up, sitting down again, and standing up again, just like a hedgehog curled up on the bench.

Levi's face was serious, "Number 12."

Number twelve across the court?

Brady.

Smith immediately understood and exchanged glances with Kelsey and others, "Levi, there's no need to pay attention to the news, just focus on the game."

Levi nodded, but his eyes still didn't shift.

Kelsey sighed softly, "Levi." But she didn't know how to comfort him.

Li Wei, "Oh, I'm just curious, he doesn't have three heads and six arms."

Kelsey was stunned, "What?"

Levi shrugged lightly. "I mean, No. 12 is also an ordinary person. I am a little disappointed. I was expecting him to be a superman with a green face and fangs. But obviously, he is not. He is just like us." "He needs to rely on his teammates, and we are also 53 people fighting side by side. I think I am ready to fight against an ordinary person."

Everyone: This...

They couldn't help but exchange glances, and smiles crept onto the corners of their mouths.

Although no one has said it explicitly, the invisible pressure is indeed weighing on their chests, including the New England Patriots' Jedi comeback in the Super Bowl last season, the combination of Belichick and Brady, and the nightmare of their playoff loss to the New England Patriots two years ago. These pressures have quietly heated up in the increasingly fierce vortex of "Rookie VS Goat" in the entire league, and finally evolved into an indescribable tension and anxiety.

Silently, it affects everyone.

Even Reed is no exception.

And now, after Levi said this, the tense pressure slowly relaxed like a balloon being unsealed, and the smile returned to the corners of his mouth.

So, should they sigh that Levi is fearless and completely unaffected, or should they admire Levi's skill and courage for awakening others?

Quietly, the Kansas City Chiefs regained their composure and freed themselves from the shackles of the media, which was crucial to this game.

"Every year, players go from the NCAA to the NFL and have to go through a shocking education. If players think that the NFL is just the NCAA with more complicated tactics, then they will inevitably hit a wall, because the NFL is much more than that."

"The whole confrontation, the whole intensity, the whole rhythm, everything is different."

"Last season, Levi's senior in the Crimson Tide, former Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, hit the rookie wall hard. His performance throughout the season was less than one-fifth of his NCAA performance, which was disappointing."

"Now, Henry's successor, Levi, is about to experience the taste of professional competition, so, Chris, what do you think of Levi's performance?"

Michaels' partner today is former NFL wide receiver Chris Collinsworth. This elegant gentleman only played for the Cincinnati Bengals for eight seasons, but he made the Pro Bowl for three seasons and was on the All-American Second Team for three seasons, performing very well.

As a commentator, his best resume is that he has won 17 Sports Emmy Awards.

"He needs some time." Collinsworth gave an objective opinion.

"From the pre-season, he has the ability, but lacks durability and continuity, and often has difficulty maintaining his level effectively in strong confrontations."

"The New England Patriots are a strong offensive team, but people always tend to overlook their defense. Don't forget that Belichick started out as a linebacker coach and proved himself through defensive coordinator."

"The Patriots' defense has saved the team's season more than once and continued their Super Bowl hopes. Last season, their defense ranked first in the league and their ground defense ranked fourth in the league, which was the basis for their Super Bowl comeback. They shut out regular season MVP Matt Ryan in the entire second half. This defense is very scary."

"So, Levi needs time."

"We should give him some room to grow. The suspense of this game should still come from the two quarterbacks..."

Blah blah blah, the pre-match analysis is still going on, and the game is ready.

In the coin tossing session, the New England Patriots guessed correctly and chose the venue, which also meant that the Kansas City Chiefs would take the lead in attacking in the first half.

Then, the special teams of both teams came on the field, with the New England Patriots kicking off and the Kansas City Chiefs returning the ball to determine the starting position of the first-gear offense.

Suddenly, Gillette Stadium erupted in boos.

Porphyrin!
Bloopers!
Rookie! Rookie Rookie!
The sound was overwhelming and venting, and the entire stadium began to shake again.

Looking in the direction of the sound, you can see a figure wearing the No. 23 jersey appearing in the special teams on the Kansas City Chiefs side.

Levi?

Wait, Levi?
