Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 872 Facing the Giant
In the first half of the Super Bowl, Donald sacked Mahomes twice and caused both fumbles. In addition, Donald intercepted Levi four times, and also had a series of effective collisions and hasty passes. If it were not for the strong performance of the defense, the Los Angeles Rams would not have won.

When everyone was paying attention to the incredible score, the defense led by Donald was the hero behind the scenes.

In that game, Levi was afraid of Donald's "bull rush", that is, muscle and strength. After all, he had no advantage in power confrontation, so Levi still focused on trying to break through with his own speed.

However, I kept hitting a wall.

Donald's 20-yard and 40-yard speed tests may be inferior to Levi's, but once Levi releases his speed, his acceleration ability can indeed suppress Donald.

But Donald's instantaneous explosive power within the five-yard and ten-yard area, and most importantly, his agility and flexibility, are not inferior to Levi's. Even if Levi changes direction in a small range, it is still difficult for him to get rid of him.

So, Levi often got into trouble.

This time, on the Super Bowl stage, Levi changed his strategy slightly.

A head-on collision of forces?

No, it's not.

In a head-on confrontation of power, Levi probably still won't be able to break through Donald; rather, Levi should believe in his own abilities, mobilize all his skills, be more focused and alert, and counter each move.

Strength is naturally indispensable.

After continuous training in the Lynch template, he should believe in his ability to fight with strength, even though facing Donald is like hitting a rock with an egg.

Whether it is Watt or Donald, facing such top players, confidence and concentration are the first step, and the rest depends entirely on on-the-spot performance.

Donald can rely on one trick to conquer the world, but it is not so easy for Levi to break through Donald. One set of tactics is far from enough.

Such lazy thinking is doomed to fail miserably.

Just like just now, Levi made changes to the center of gravity, rhythm, speed and so on, deliberately dragging Donald out of the pocket, weakening the threat of Donald's first step rush, moving the confrontation space to the open area, weakening Donald's advantage, and after twists and turns, he completed two breakthroughs.

But this is still not enough——

They need a touchdown.

Next, Donald should be on guard and will definitely make full use of his advantages to apply more pressure before Levi runs out of the pocket.

Thinking of this, Levi couldn't help rubbing his hands, eager to go on stage again, and couldn't wait to face Donald again.

The Kansas City Chiefs understand that a free kick lead is far from enough; the Los Angeles Rams also understand that they need to quickly gain a foothold, or at least regain their rhythm, before the score gap widens further.

McVay understands it, and so do Goff and Gurley.

However, it is counterproductive.

"Strike out."

"Oh my god, the Los Angeles Rams' offense is a disaster. The second-best offense in the league during the regular season has completely lost its way."

"Gurley seemed particularly anxious and eager, as if he was eager to prove himself, but his route running was a mess, and he still has zero yards to advance."

"Yes, the highest-paid running back in the league completely lost himself in the Super Bowl. The first half was almost over, and his ground running yards were still zero."

"And Goff, he's still too nervous."

"When the quarterback is nervous, there is often a large blind spot in his vision, and the defense cannot read and pass the ball. The Kansas City Chiefs defense puts a little pressure on the front line, and Goff's reading vision becomes a mess and he can't see anything."

"What's worse is that McVay's on-the-spot adjustments didn't help. In fact, the Los Angeles Rams only needed one or two simple short passes to succeed, and the offense would be able to gain a foothold and open up the situation."

“McVay needs to find a way.”

"But now, the Los Angeles Rams still only had one first down in the first half, and they struck out, giving the Kansas City Chiefs another chance."

"It's unbelievable that the Los Angeles Rams offense struggled so much in the first half."

"Next, the pressure will fall on the shoulders of the defense led by Donald; at the same time, the opportunity will also come to the young offensive team of the Kansas City Chiefs."

“Perhaps, this could be the deciding factor in the outcome of the game.”

"Maybe. Let's wait and see." The one who started analyzing was not Nantz, but Romo.

As a former quarterback who has been criticized for being weak at critical moments, Romo is very familiar with the current situation.

Romo understood Goff and felt exactly the same way. The more he wanted to perform well and prove himself, the easier it was for him to get lost in the fierce competition. He couldn't control his nervous emotions and even began to hate himself.

He doesn't need netizens to scold him, he hates himself more than anyone else.

However, after retiring, Romo realized that this is also part of the game.

Character determines fate.

Some people are born for big occasions, while others hesitate in front of opportunities again and again and ruin the opportunities they have been waiting for their whole lives.

After the Kansas City Chiefs scored the free kick, the Los Angeles Rams should have exploded and followed up. Even if they didn't score, they should at least complete some advancement and show a new mental outlook, giving their opponents some pressure and impact to prove that they were not ready to surrender.

Unfortunately, there is nothing.

A quick strikeout, a routine formality, and then the opportunity was handed over to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Although Romo feels particularly sorry for Goff and empathizes with Goff 100%, he has to say that he is looking forward to Levi's next performance.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Levi appeared on the stage again, with his head held high. His light steps and high spirits immediately showed his style.

Thus, the enthusiasm for the Mercedes-Benz Dome was also ignited.

"Fly! Snap!"

"Fly! Snap!"

The cheers were deafening.

Although the number of Kansas City Chiefs fans is not that large, it perfectly matches the team's fighting spirit and courage at this moment, showing its spirit.

Other fans and spectators looked sideways——

Tonight's Super Bowl seemed to finally have a little spark and smoke.

Levi was ready, and so was Donald.

"Levi, Levi! Get rid of it!"

"Pretty!"

"Originally this could have been a tackle behind the line, but Levi's footsteps change in a small area at the critical moment was really dazzling. He actually got rid of Donald's tackle and advanced five yards. The Kansas City Chiefs' ground offense is showing a tough attitude. Obviously, Levi is not satisfied with this performance."

……

"Donald!"

"Niu Chong! Capture and kill!"

"This is a sack! The Kansas City Chiefs' pocket protection was completely broken, and Donald sacked Mahomes from behind on the blind side. Mahomes didn't see this coming and was completely caught off guard."

"Just like Donald's first sack of Mahomes in the Super Bowl in Week 11 of the regular season, Donald made the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line look like a candle in the wind, easily cutting into the pocket and not giving Mahomes any chance to get away."

"One hit kills!"

"Dear audience, the Donald we are familiar with is finally back. Stimulated by Levi's outstanding performance, Donald has also found his own rhythm."

"Is the good show finally here?"

Romo once again accurately predicted --

The show is about to begin.
