Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 296 The King of Talking

Cooper, who was selected with the fifth overall pick in the first round of 2015, has performed well for two consecutive seasons, was selected to the Pro Bowl and the All-American Second Team as a rookie, and is widely regarded as one of the best players in the 2015 class.

In the first half of this season, on the one hand, quarterback Carr was absent due to injury, and on the other hand, Cooper himself suffered some low points in form, so that he did not perform well and was almost forgotten.

Until the game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Cooper hit rock bottom.

Not only did he find his form, but the Oakland Raiders also returned to playoff contention. Cooper immediately rediscovered the high-spirited attitude of his youth and couldn't wait to start talking nonsense in the pre-game interview.

Then, Houston fought back without showing any weakness.

"Yeah, he should stop spying on his teammates in the locker room, even though they don't have anything interesting to spy on."

Kill two birds with one stone.

Don't be fooled by Houston's usual silence, but when he starts talking, he can be deadly:
Cooper said Chief lingered under cheerleaders' skirts, and Houston mocked the Raiders locker room scuffle.

With just one sentence, he not only attacked Cooper, but also knocked down all the other players of the Oakland Raiders.

This stirred up a hornet's nest.

Players from the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs both engaged in a war of words, and fans of both teams were fighting fiercely on social networks. The atmosphere between the two rivals in the same division was like a powder keg that could be easily ignited.

Amid the hustle and bustle, an unexpected person spoke.

Khalil Mack, Oakland Raiders defensive end.

Last season, JJ Watt was ruled out for the season due to injury. While the league was feeling sorry for him, it was also curious about who would win the title of Defensive Player of the Year.

The answer is Khalil Mark.

Mark plays the same position as JJ Watt. Mark was selected with the fifth pick in the first round of 2014. After a warm-up in his rookie season, he began to shine since the 2015 season and quickly established his dominance in the professional arena. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for the past two seasons. If Watt hadn't been too tough, Mark would have won the Defensive Player of the Year honor more than once.

Slightly different from Watt, Mark started out as a linebacker.

There are many differences between linebackers and defensive ends, the most obvious of which is flexibility:
Mark has a huge body of 6.2 feet (191 cm) and 269 pounds (122 kg), but he has unimaginable agility and speed, which also lays the foundation for the obvious difference between his playing style and Watt.

If Watt is strong, then Mark is flexible.

Mark's personal breakthrough ability is slightly inferior to Watt, so his number of sacks of quarterbacks is not that impressive, but his reading of the offense and his response to the game are definitely top-notch among the top, and his number of sacks in the past three seasons has been among the top in the league.

This season is no exception.

Although the Oakland Raiders' record has been up and down, Mark has always maintained high-energy and efficient output and is still a strong contender for Defensive Player of the Year.

Mark rarely gets involved in these wars of words, but that doesn't mean he didn't notice the tense atmosphere and the pressure of the game, so he rarely spoke up.

"We will prevail."

He said.

"We will let everyone see clearly that they are just a group of beautiful friends. Maybe they should dress up beautifully like Barbie dolls and pose in front of the camera. Rugby, a real man's sport, is not suitable for them, lest they go home crying to their mother after their faces are disfigured."

Meaningful——

Obviously, Mark doesn't like Levi.

Why!
How can a rookie running back sign a huge endorsement contract with Nike? Forget about Watt, Beckham Jr. is also a circus performer, and a down-to-earth player like him who continuously produces results cannot be recognized. He is obviously the best defensive player of the year last year, but he cannot get an endorsement.

absurd!

Damn pretty boy!

The reporter with a keen sense of smell figured it out immediately and grasped the key point, "Are you talking about Levi?" Mark neither admitted nor denied it.

"He should be grateful that a model gets to play with the Defensive Player of the Year. Me? I get to play with a pretty face."

If you don't say anything, you will be a surprise when you do.

In a swarm, reporters surrounded Li Weili, who had just finished a whole day of training, and couldn't wait to throw questions at him.

In response, Levi remained calm and even smiled, "Of course, of course, it's my honor. There aren't many opportunities to play rugby with One Direction, I will seize it."

One second, two seconds——

Mahomes and Kelce burst into laughter.

Mark taught himself to play guitar in college and always wanted to be a singer. In the Oakland Raiders locker room, his teammates often urged him to sing. His idols were Usher and Tim McGraw.

Levi compared Mark to the idol group One-Direction, whose impromptu counterattacks were much more sharp than Mark's carefully prepared attacks.

Even the reporters couldn't help laughing.

The reporters who were watching the excitement couldn't hold back and immediately started to add fuel to the fire.

"Levi, you have already met with the Oakland Raiders' defensive line and linebackers in the last game. What do you think of them?"

Objectively speaking, in the last meeting, the Oakland Raiders' victory came from the offensive group, and the defensive group's performance could only be said to have not lagged behind. Mark's condition was average, and he only tackled Levi twice, which was not outstanding.

Levi raised his chin slightly, his face serious.

"It's hard to judge. I don't know, they reminded me of 'The Four Little Swans.'

A group of little swans wearing ballet skirts.

One second, two seconds——

The reporters collectively burst into laughter. Without a doubt, this should be the best trash talk of the year. Without a single swear word, it cursed the entire defensive line of the Oakland Raiders inside and out.

Amid the laughter of the whole audience, only Levi was an exception. He maintained his deadpan attitude and continued seriously, "I am a layman and cannot give any professional advice, but maybe Khalil should change his hairstyle."

As he spoke, Levi put his hair forward to create a Justin Bieber-style signature long bangs hairstyle, then looked at the camera with a big smile.

It was so hilarious, the whole audience burst into laughter and couldn’t stop laughing.

Although the reporters knew that they should not do so and that they should remain objective and neutral, they had to admit that Levi's counterattack was too sharp and brilliant.

Mahomes said: Levi only played 30% of his ability.

Later, it was rumored that Mark saw Levi's response in the short video on social networks and smashed the locker in the locker room on the spot. The Raiders' defense team held their breath, but didn't know how to respond.

It seemed like they lost no matter how they responded.

The atmosphere between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders continues to heat up, and there is no doubt that this is a crucial life-and-death duel.

Historically, the Kansas City Chiefs have prevented the Oakland Raiders from advancing to the playoffs. Similarly, the Oakland Raiders have destroyed the Kansas City Chiefs' dreams of advancing to the playoffs more than once.

It would be even more perfect if they could advance to the playoffs by stepping on the corpse of their arch-rival. Both teams will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

The same is true now. The outcome of a game may determine the direction of a season, and the tension is pushed to an unprecedented level.
