Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 805: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
"attack!"

Mahomes announced the opening kickoff and felt the pressure immediately.

Right in front of him, linebacker Roberts rushed towards him head-on without any regard. It was like a horror movie. His ferocious face rapidly enlarged in his pupils, and the rolling air waves forced Mahomes to retreat.

One step, two steps.

After creating some space, before he had time to catch his breath, he could see heavy pressure pouring down from the right side in his peripheral vision. Almost as a conditioned reflex, Mahomes moved sideways to the blind side.

Subconsciously, Mahomes looked at Levi.

Levi did not leave, but followed Mahomes like a satellite, moving laterally step by step, but much more steadily.

An exchange of glances -

Running the ball?

In a flash, Levi took the initiative to step forward and face Mahomes, preparing to complete the handoff before Van Noy or Roberts completed the collision and sack.

Mahomes held out the football.

Van Noy: Speed ​​up, step up, and sprint all the way.

Whether Mahomes passes the ball or Levi runs the ball, it will not change the New England Patriots' strategy of rushing the ball and applying pressure, which is to put pressure in advance and push them into a dead end as much as possible.

In this way, all the pressure and burden will be placed on Levi.

Meanwhile, Van Noy was speeding up, chasing relentlessly like he was chasing chickens.

On the other side, Levi was speeding up, avoiding Mahomes with his light and agile steps and continuing to move forward.

There was no handoff of the football.

Van Noy was at the back, without any rain or fog to block his view, so he had a clear field of vision and could see everything clearly. However, Van Noy knew that his teammates in front of him might not be able to see clearly that it was a fake move.

Van Noy: I saw this episode!

The next scene should be that Levi leads the way and Mahomes advances with the ball. Even if the New England Patriots have a large number of troops, if the fake moves are not seen through and all the attention is on Levi the bait, Mahomes can still break through easily.

Oops!

Van Noy stepped up at full speed, and he could see Mahomes also speeding up, following Levi closely, which once again confirmed his suspicions, making Van Noy even more anxious.

He needs to sack Mahomes and cut off the possibility of this offense at the source.

Speed ​​up, speed up!
Van Noy gritted his teeth and sprinted at full speed. Seeing that Mahomes was close at hand, he could easily capture him from behind. However, at this moment, Mahomes seemed to have eyes behind him and did not forget that there was a relentless tail chasing him.

One moves sideways, the other gives in.

Mahomes moved out of position and Van Noy missed the ball.

Van Noy tried to react a second time, turned his head and tried to pounce on Mahomes, but his sprint speed was too fast and he couldn't brake. He watched the red figure pass by his position and float backwards.

Wait, what's going on?

So, is the Mahomes-Levy train out of sync?
Van Noy was judging, and then he saw that the other New England Patriots defensive players had also understood:

The football is in Mahomes' hands, and Mahomes is ready to continue holding the ball in the same offensive mode as the previous wave.

Just in time, Mahomes had left the pocket on his own, exposing himself.

One, two, three, the New England Patriots' defensive players pressed forward, pulling the entire defensive network in at the first opportunity, and the pressure continued to rise.

One second, just one second.

Van Noy braked, turned to look at Mahomes, and was about to step forward when he blurted out a curse word:

Turning around, Van Noy saw Mahomes take a small step, raise his hand, swing his arm, and pass the ball, the whole action was done in one go without hesitation.

Pass the ball?

It was actually a pass?
Van Noy tried to stop his teammates, but it was too late.

Van Noy wanted to raise his hands to interfere with the pass, but it was too late.

He watched helplessly, like a fool, as the football flew lightly over his head and flew forward, and the target of the pass was Levi.

With a simple one-two pass against the wall, Mahomes and Levy fooled the New England Patriots' defensive front line.

In the previous wave of offense, the New England Patriots' defense was always guessing and guarding against Mahomes' passes, and they were on edge all the time. As a result, the Kansas City Chiefs used a ground attack to break the deadlock inexplicably. They were so stubborn that even an experienced old fox like Belichick was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The New England Patriots' defense was not unprepared for this wave of attack. The surprise tactic was a typical strategy against Mahomes, but they did not expect to be led by the nose by Mahomes and Levi's fake and real tricks, and their sensitive nerves easily fell into their trap.

Then, Mahomes passed the ball.

VAN NOY: ...

Is this some kind of circus show?
Van Noy felt like a monkey.

Not far ahead, after Levi crossed the line of scrimmage, he looked back at the moon, easily caught the five-yard pass, and turned around to move forward.

Linebacker Hightower realized the situation was not good at the first moment, and he stopped and turned quickly. In the brief time that Levi stopped to adjust to catch the ball, he turned around and pounced.

However, everything was done too hastily and hurriedly, and Haitohua didn't have time to fully exert his strength. When he was halfway into the air, gravity had already pulled his body down.

Uh.

Haitohua fell all the way down along Levi's long legs, and couldn't catch them no matter how hard he tried. Finally, he hit the ground heavily. Relying entirely on his experience, he added up his strength and simply used his body to crash into Levi's lower body to create interference.

Although Levi managed to get rid of it, his steps stumbled on the slippery grass.

This made Levi fully alert, and he simply stood on tiptoe, took a deep breath and jumped along with his shaky center of gravity, relying entirely on his toes to step on the "water surface" to fly lightly.

however!
Before he could fully speed up, the next figure had already collided head-on.

The Bell family.

At this point, one can feel the New England Patriots' defense pressing forward, including the cornerbacks and safeties who are all positioned in advance.

After Levi crossed the line of scrimmage, he had just advanced five yards when the Zhong family was already in position.

After the last wave of all-ground offense, the New England Patriots gradually moved their defensive line forward, forming a chain defense of mutual assistance, locking up the space for the running back to continue advancing.

It is not only effective for running the ball, but also for short passes.

If Mahomes had made a long pass at this time, the sneak attack would have been successful; but in order to prevent such a disaster, Belichick chose a six-man pass rush.

Overall, the New England Patriots' defense kept up with the pace and intensity.

Although Levi and Mahomes completed a beautiful wall-driving combination, Levi fell into the minefield of continuous sniping before he could take advantage of his speed.

It has to be said that Belichick's on-the-spot command and formation changes in a short period of time were excellent, and he is worthy of being the target that everyone in the league wants to defeat.

In front, the Zhong family was waiting for the opportunity, while Devin McCoy was approaching quickly from the side.

At this moment, Levi's steps were light and his center of gravity was unstable. He had not yet recovered from the collision that killed both him and Haitohua, and he was about to walk into the blockade of the Zhong family.

Back and forth, the contrast between advantages and disadvantages is particularly obvious.

So, this offense comes to an end like this?
