Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 230 Get your wish
"Wow, Levi is so awesome."

"The rookie mode destroyed Gillette Stadium, and the defending champions hit the wall at the beginning. It was too cruel and ruthless... It was so fucking wonderful. I love it."

"He's here, he's there, he's everywhere, he's the Edgewalker, Levi Levi Levi!"

Social networks exploded immediately.

According to statistics, the opening game of the 2017 season attracted countless attention because of the clash between two strong teams, the gimmick of "rookie vs. goat", and the appearance of the first Chinese running back in history. A full million people watched the live broadcast of the game.

In mainland China, which is still in the initial stage of opening up the market, Penguin Live also created a peak of 50 million online viewers, and unsurprisingly ignited major social networking platforms on both sides of the Pacific.

The noisy, lively and enthusiastic crowds were flooding the screen with messages at a crazy rate of 4,000 messages per second, and Levi immediately entered the hot search list.

Everything is just as Goodell expected.

After four months of preparation, the harvest has finally arrived.

Although some people say that Brady was used by Goodell as a stepping stone, the real point is that Levi seized the opportunity to show himself on this stage that was broadcast live worldwide and attracted the attention of the public. Otherwise, even if Brady was willing to be a foil, he would not be able to seize the opportunity.

This is the key.

Over there, the game is going on.

Here, the frequency of swiping on social networks has already become a hot topic.

Levi, became famous in one battle!
However, the real frenzy is yet to come, and the main media forces have not yet entered the battle.

The New England Patriots visiting team's press conference room was packed with people, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside. The small room was like dough with too much yeast added, swelling to the point of almost overflowing.

Reporters, you have really waited too long.

Last year at the University of Alabama, Shaban issued a ban to isolate all media, so that reporters were unable to get close to Levi.

During the off-season training camp this year, Reed protected Levi very strictly. Reporters surrounded Levi every now and then but still did not get a formal interview opportunity.

I have never seen such a rookie before. He is right in front of me every day, but no one can really have a good conversation with him up close:

It's already the year 7012, and there are still fools who pursue mysticism!

However, Levi not only did this, but all the media had no choice but to take the bait. So, is this what Jiang Taigong meant by fishing?

Finally, finally the season begins.

According to NFL league regulations, players are required to attend post-game interviews; and in order to avoid some players making a simple appearance and then disappearing, the league also stipulates that players must stay for at least twenty minutes unless the reporter clearly states that there are no follow-up questions.

Everything was forced.

The most notorious troublemaker in the NFL is Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who is known for his poor handling of the media.

In the 2013 season, Lynch repeatedly refused to attend post-game press conferences, which caused complaints from the media. The league was forced to fine Lynch $ and required Lynch to accept interviews.

In the 2014 season, after the Seattle Seahawks lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, Lynch returned to his old ways and missed the post-game press conference, resulting in a fine of $ by the league.

After that, Lynch began to give the media a perfunctory response.

In Week 2014 of the season, after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals, Lynch attended a press conference, but answered all twelve questions with "yeah".

In Week 16, after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals again, Lynch's answer to all questions was uniformly switched to "Thank you for asking."

Also in that season, at the media meeting day before the Super Bowl, Lynch still used the same answer to all questions, "Anyway, I'm here, so I won't be fined."

It is precisely because of this that the league has introduced a series of regulations to restrict post-game press conferences.

Now, it's Levi's turn——

The media are somewhat excited and curious. As both of them are running backs and neither of them deals with the media often, will Levi be the second Lynch?
Of course, there are so many players in each NFL team that it is impossible for all players to be interviewed. The list of people attending the press conference is decided by both parties. One part is the team, and they will select a coach and three players to attend the press conference.

One part is the media, who will submit a list of players they want to interview before the press conference.

Today, as soon as the game ended, reporters immediately submitted Levi's name; obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs themselves were aware of this, and Reid took Smith and Levi to accept post-match media interviews.

Coming, coming, with a rustling sound, Levi finally appeared in the sight.

In an instant——

Click, click, click.

The flash and shutter sounds roared down like a silver waterfall. The dazzling light instantly made the eyes unable to function, and there was darkness in front of the eyes. Even the surface of the skin could clearly feel the boiling heat wave, and there was a stinging pain.

With such a fanfare and such treatment, he is undoubtedly a superstar!

A professional league is a professional league after all, and the entire level is different.

Amid the impact of the rolling air waves, people thought that Levi would be nervous or embarrassed. In any case, he was definitely not used to it. It was not the first time for a rookie to make a fool of himself in front of the media. However, no one expected that Levi was calm throughout the whole process. Not only was he not nervous, but he also had a kind of friendly and familiar comfort.

Wait, is this normal?
The interview hadn't even started yet, but the reporters were the first to lose their composure.

But the reporter quickly gained his footing and couldn't wait to drop the first bombshell.

"Levi, do you know Brady now?"

Without any greetings or courtesies, he immediately threw a straight punch at Levi's face.

From such small details, it can be seen that the reporter was really frustrated.

And what about Levi?

With an innocent look on his face, he asked, "Who?"

The press conference room was in complete silence.

Even the boldest and craziest reporters did not expect that Levi would dare to challenge Brady head-on at Gillette Stadium. It was so unexpected and frightening that even the battle-hardened reporters were all stunned.

Levi seemed to be completely unaware that he had just dropped an atomic bomb, and continued to add to the bet, "Sorry, I never remember the names of losers."

heh.

The whole audience gasped, and the reporter couldn't help but doubt his own ears -

This this……

The reporter, who was always afraid of chaos in the world, was now forced into a panic by Li Wei.

There was no sound in the entire venue.

Until the corners of Levi's mouth turned up, his smile bloomed like sunshine after rain, "I thought this was the effect the media wanted to create, a rookie who was ignorant of the world and arrogantly issued a challenge."

"Hey, I'm not a caveman, I know the earth still revolves and rotates."

The subtext is that he has seen all of the reporters' provocations and fanning of flames over the past few months; now that he is launching a provocation as the reporters wished, why are the reporters the first to back down?
That look, that smile, that calm demeanor, it wasn't an attack on Brady, it was clearly an attack on the reporter.

All the reporters were stunned——

I've seen bold ones, but I've never seen anyone so cruel.
