Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 655: Head held high
"ram!"

"ram!"

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum roared.

This is the first time in the history of the Rams' home game that all tickets have been sold out and the stadium is full since they moved from St. Louis to Los Angeles.

Over the past three years, due to the team's poor record and the many choices available to Los Angeles residents, the attendance at the Memorial Stadium has been worrying, with large swathes of empty seats often seen on live broadcasts.

It wasn't until last season that the Los Angeles Rams finally showed their momentum, fans began to enter the stadium one after another, and the basketball market slowly recovered.

Until tonight.

Finally, the first ticket was sold out, allowing the players to see what a packed Memorial Stadium looks like; and Los Angeles fans got their money's worth, were not disappointed, and enjoyed a peak showdown.

From the first second of the game, the excitement and suspense continued until the last second; from confrontation to score, from offense to defense, wonderful collisions ran through the entire game; and finally, it ended perfectly with the home team's victory.

The fans are going crazy——

"ram!"

The mighty and deafening shouts were like a summer rainstorm.

The whole audience roared.

On the field, coaches Reid and McVay, and quarterbacks Mahomes and Goff were shaking hands and greeting each other after the game amid heavy crowds, and the TV station's live camera followed suit.

However, the fans and players from both teams caught the movement:

Aaron Donald. Levi.

Although the spotlight was elsewhere, everyone's attention was involuntarily focused on it.

Followed by.

"Aaron!"

"Aaron!"

Waves of roars and claws burst out, swallowing Levi in ​​an instant.

Donald took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and smiled like Paddington Bear, "What a great game."

Levi held Donald's right hand, and the two bumped shoulders. Amid the roar of the entire stadium, one had to strain one's ears to barely catch the conversation, "Great game. You deserve this victory."

"Great performance! You make me look like a cocky rookie."

Frank, sincere, and ruthless in self-criticism.

Donald was directly amused and teased back, "I will never tell you that my knees are shaking now and I am using all my strength to barely stay standing."

"But you still stand, even though you are against our entire team alone. Oh, I'm a little hurt." Levi complained back.

Donald: “Hahahaha.”

Levi continued, "Hey, man, you deserve to win this game. I will do my best to turn the situation around next time we meet. Stay tuned."

Be upright and aboveboard.

Donald's heart surged with emotion at those powerful words. He patted Levi on the back and said, "I won't stand still either."

There was a pause, the two people exchanged glances, and then without staying any longer, they let go of each other's right hands and turned to say goodbye.

Donald stood there, watching Levi's back as he strode with his head held high, and his heart surged involuntarily. This was a brand new experience.

Even though they won today, compared to the joy and happiness of victory, he was more looking forward to the next meeting with Levi, Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs, and he was even eager to get excited.

If the two teams can meet again this season, it will not be a "Half Super Bowl" but a real Super Bowl. Donald expressed his great anticipation.

The Kansas City Chiefs need to move forward, and the Los Angeles Rams can't let down the team.

In an instant, Donald's ambitions also burned in his chest. Meanwhile, Levi had returned to the right track and assumed the responsibility of captain.

Comfort and encourage teammates one by one.

Any defeat is bitter, and no loss can bring joy. This season, the Kansas City Chiefs experienced the second bitter experience that was hard to swallow. They lost to an elite team in a strong competition, and watched the victory slip away from their fingers. That feeling is really...

Terrible.

It doesn't become easier just because you've experienced it once.

In some ways, it was even more bitter and painful than the first time.

Defensive end Chris Jones fell into deep self-blame. He thought he did not put enough pressure on the opposing quarterback Goff, which led to Goff passing the ball too easily. Especially compared with Donald on the opposite side, Jones still seemed immature and did not play to his level.

The same goes for cornerback Kendall Fowler, who joined the team this season. He had a smooth start in the early stages of the season and seemed to have finally proved himself, but as the season progressed, he gradually exposed his shortcomings and allowed his opponents to have their way with him, with emotions of anger and frustration intertwined.

One, and another.

These young sophomores and juniors are still learning.

Then, Levi saw Mahomes.

After the interview, Mahomes stood alone, his hands on his hips, quietly looking up at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum where the crowd was roaring and bustling. He said nothing, but his vague back revealed a bit of loneliness and desolation.

"Hey, Sherlock, you didn't cry today, did you?" Levi joked.

Unexpectedly, Mahomes turned around and looked over, his eyes already filled with tears.

Levi laughed dumbly, "What should I do? How about wiping it with my jersey first and blowing my nose at the same time?"

Phew.

Mahomes couldn't help laughing.

Levi continued to add, "It doesn't matter, the camera is on Travis now, your vest is not exposed."

"Haha." Mahomes laughed heartily and forced back his tears.

Levi, "You should know that you are the MVP of this game, right?"

Mahomes let out a long breath, "But I still couldn't bring a victory to the team. Now I finally understand your pressure."

From last season to this season, the spotlight has always been on Levi. Whether it is expectations or belittlement, the pressure has piled up layer by layer, making Levi breathless from all aspects both on and off the court.

Now, Mahomes finally got a small taste of it.

"Rookie, I thought that after experiencing something like this once, I would be more mature and be able to face it calmly and easily after the second time."

"But that's not the case."

"I hate this feeling, I hate this feeling."

"God, this feels so bad, damn it."

Mahomes, who always has a smiling face and is always honest and well-behaved, finally couldn't hold back his impulse and swore.

Levi nodded slightly, "It's right to hate it. It means you are really hurt, so you should remember this feeling firmly to avoid forgetting the pain after the scar has healed, and experiencing it again the next time you meet."

Mahomes took a deep breath, "Do we have to go through this again next time we meet?"

"……Grass."

After imagining the scene, Mahomes still couldn't control his language.

Levi nodded. "Of course. You've seen for yourself what this team is capable of. I wouldn't be surprised if they win the Super Bowl; they are one of the best and best teams in the league right now."

"If we have a chance to meet again this season, they have the quality to beat us again, so if you don't want to go through this kind of pain again, you have to remember the feeling at this moment."
