Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 574 An unintentional move
"He's here, he's there, he's everywhere, he's the Edgewalker, Levi Levi Levi!"

The new season has just begun, and familiar cheers can be heard over Arrowhead Stadium. The defending champions showed a smooth offensive state in two offensive gears and two first attacks. After the pre-season running-in, they seem to have finally found a tacit understanding. The enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the home fans instantly ignited all the energy.

Karen Gray looked at Felix, who was sitting in a wheelchair, cheering with excitement. She also raised her hands high and stood up to join the crowd.

Karen didn't know how much time Felix had left to live, but she decided not to worry about tomorrow for the time being. Instead, she would grasp every moment, burn and release as if there was no tomorrow.

"Ah, ah ah!"

Felix and his mother exchanged glances and both burst into laughter.

however.

Tomlin doesn't think so.

His sight fell on the figure wearing the red number 23 jersey and lingered briefly. He couldn't see the expression on that dark face, but he seemed to feel a burning pain on his cheek.

Stop, look, and then go.

This is Bell's classic playing style, and Levi actually imitated it on purpose in his first possession against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first game of the new season. The subtext couldn't be more obvious; and he easily advanced ten yards to get the first down, which was basically a slap in Tomlin's face.

Frustrated. Depressed. Angry.

So, is Levi taking practical action to stand up for Bell?
As expected, Levi and Bell were actually in cahoots with each other.

Tomlin's fist hardened.

Li Wei: Any similarity is purely coincidental.

Throughout the offseason, he has been studying several training templates in the system, including Bell's, trying to find his own running style, constantly improving and growing. Now that he finally has the opportunity to test it in a formal game, he is simply practicing in actual combat.

Slap in the face?

No really. It was just a coincidence.

On the court, Levi lay on the ground, did not stand up immediately, panting, a little annoyed that he had just been careless and was caught up by TJ and did not use a high kick to dodge. He had no time to pay attention to the autumn spinach that Tomlin's eyes conveyed.

A hand appeared in front of me.

Looking closely, it was TJ.

Levi grabbed TJ's hand and used it to stand up. The two exchanged glances and smiled in tacit understanding. After two attacks and defenses at the beginning, each of them had the upper hand once, and the game ended in a tie with no winner or loser.

TJ patted Levi's shoulder heavily and gave a half-joking reminder.

"Be careful, you're irritating our coach."

Levi was puzzled.

Turning his head to look at Tomlin, he saw Tomlin's face full of gloomy and cruel eyes, just like the family sharpening their knives in "Get Out". Even across half the court, he could feel the sharpness in his eyes.

then.

Tomlin controlled himself, looked away, and ignored Levi:

We'll see. Bell can't change the situation, and you, Levi, can't do it either.

Tomlin held his breath, turned his anger into motivation, quickly regained his attention, and continued to direct the defense.

Levi retracted his gaze and just saw TJ's eyes facing the challenge with dignity. After a brief contact, TJ turned and walked towards his teammates in the defensive team.

The corner of Levi's mouth curled up slightly with a smile. Things have just begun. Mr. Tomlin, calm down. There is no need to reveal your cards so early, otherwise, you might capsize.

There was a brief collision of sight, and the attackers and defenders had already formed their arrays again.

Mahomes raised his right hand and high-fived Levi in ​​celebration, but there was no conversation and his attention immediately turned to the next offensive play.

At the 45-yard line in their own half, first down and 10 yards. At least, from the opening, the Kansas City Chiefs played calmly and smoothly, with their offensive tactics slightly ahead of their opponents by half a body length. They were not as bold and aggressive as imagined, but instead showed the depth of the defending champions.

This is a big surprise.

So, how is the Pittsburgh Steelers defense prepared to respond?

Could it be that...the raid continues?
At least, on the surface, the answer is yes.

Tomlin was not easily frustrated and still insisted on the defensive strategy formulated before the game. This time he pressed forward further, with the safeties and linebackers positioning themselves earlier. Although it was an offensive and defensive confrontation near the half court, the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive formation was compressed within the 15-yard line, piling up pressure.

However, as a traditional defensive powerhouse, the Pittsburgh Steelers' pressure is not blind and desperate, and layers can still be seen in the narrow space.

Defensive line. Cornerback. Linebacker. Safety.

Four lines, four levels, within fifteen yards, unfolding from near to far.

Apart from the pressure from the front line, there is no defensive strategy at all.

Raid, but who is going to raid? Linebackers, safeties, and even cornerbacks are all possible, and the positions and functions of players are quietly disrupted.

This can be regarded as one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive strategies.

It's not just because Levi "imitated" Bell. He lost large-yardage defense twice in a row and quickly approached the midfield line. The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense needs to show intensity and rhythm to break the Kansas City Chiefs' continuous advancement inertia.

Tomlin called the play just in time.

On the surface, calm.
In fact, the Pittsburgh Steelers' momentum changed instantly.

Not only the Kansas City Chiefs, but the audience at the scene could also vaguely feel the tension spreading quickly.

Mahomes stood up and changed tactics——

Originally, the Kansas City Chiefs were still in the pistol formation, but now they switched to the shotgun formation. Wide receiver Hill switched from the right wing to the left wing, and Levi filled Hill's position and stood parallel to Kelce.

Now, the pistol formation with two receivers on each side has evolved into a shotgun formation with three receivers on the left and a running back and tight end on the right.

On the strong side, obviously the right wing, Kelce and Levi are both players with the ability to attack and capture the city in the short pass area.

The weak side is the left wing, but the running routes of the three wide receivers are infinite.

Dazzled.

There is another detail among them.

Levi's position took another big step back. He was no longer parallel to Kelsey, but slightly behind her. The two of them were in a stepped position.

So, what does this mean?
After experiencing the "Chiefs Special" in the Super Bowl, no one can say for sure.

Moreover, in the Smith era, the Kansas City Chiefs rarely changed their offensive tactics at the last minute, only occasionally; now in the Mahomes era, they began to modify their offensive tactics on the spot after only the third offense.

Will this become the norm?
You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

The brief tactical game between offense and defense immediately made the atmosphere tense.

Mahomes was fully focused, his eyes fixed on the linebacker's position. He bent over, bent his knees, and made a gesture ready to kick off. Then he paused deliberately to let the tension continue to rise, and the next second he made a decisive announcement to kick off.

"attack!"

Step, push off the ground, exert force, start, and sprint.

Just like the 100-meter sprint in the Olympics, all five receivers of the Kansas City Chiefs rushed forward.

Including Levi.

Wait, wha…what?
