Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 99 A Gentle Knife
Adams was rapt.

As a safety, he stood slightly back and had a full view of the scene in front of him. All movements were under control. He immediately noticed the "exaggerated performance" of Levi and Hurts' fake run and real pass, and then noticed Hurts leaving the pocket.

Shocked!
Generally speaking, the quarterback will not leave the pocket. Without the protection of the offensive line, the quarterback will be very vulnerable and completely exposed to the field of vision of the defensive players; but running quarterbacks are an exception. When they leave the pocket, their field of vision opens up and the dual threats of passing and running are fully activated.

However, Hurts didn’t read the option and still left the pocket, so this means that –

A quick glance.

Levi!

Hertz and Levi split into two groups, both bent over and made a running move.

The Crimson Tide used the double running back tactics again at this level, using Hurts as the second running back.

It's not a passing attack, nor is it a simple running attack.

The Tigers' defense will never forget the first offensive wave in the second half when the Crimson Tide broke the deadlock. It was a fake run by Hurts, not a read attack but a real and fake running back, that caught the Tigers off guard. Now they are using the same tactic again.

Shaban played a trick, but this was not like Shaban at all. How could the old fox take a risk at such a critical juncture? What was going on?

Now there is no time to think about Shaban's behavior pattern, because the Tigers' defense is indeed facing a rigorous test -

Hurts goes to the left and Levi goes to the right. How should they judge how to defend?

Thoughts were surging in my mind, but it was only a fleeting moment. The players on both the offensive and defensive teams had already taken action.

Adams noticed immediately that Riley's footsteps followed Hurts's lateral movement; Beckwith stared at Levi intently.

The other two linebackers spread out and followed the wide receiver's running route closely.

The dense crowd on the Tigers' front line of defense just dispersed.

Obviously, the Crimson Tide's offensive tactics, which were difficult to distinguish between true and false, caused the Tigers' defense, which was standing on the edge of a cliff with no way out, to have different judgments.

Adams didn't even have time to swear, he needed to calm down and react.

Adams braked but did not start in a hurry. At least this was second gear with ten yards to go. If it was a ground attack, the defense still had some space to retreat. If it was a passing attack, if the defense rashly moved forward and left the second-line defense empty, they would fall into the opponent's trap. He needed to observe.

Hertz?

No, it's Levi.

After calming down a little, Adams saw Hurts' running movement through the gap in the crowd. He didn't have the ball, and the football was in Levi's hands.

Danger!Danger!Danger!

The alarm is sounded.

Then, Adams saw Levi. Amid the surging crowd and the rolling heat waves, that figure was like a white wave dancing in the purple mist.

Horizontally, on the left side of the Tigers' defense and on Levi's right side, cornerback White stabbed in from the side like a dagger, but Levi calmly braked, rotated 360 degrees clockwise while sticking to White's figure, got rid of him in an instant, cut into the inside and continued to advance.

In the next step, Beckwith's footsteps were approaching quickly, but Levi remained calm and composed. He braked urgently again, and for the second time in a row, he turned 360 degrees clockwise along Beckwith's tackle, used the same trick to get rid of the tackle, cut into the inside and continued to advance like a tornado.

Light, agile and delicate.

In a space of just three yards, dancing with ease between the layers of defensive gates, the white wave bathed in golden sunlight leaped on the top of the purple wave. The thrilling moment made the entire Tiger Stadium plunge into shock and astonishment.

Not only relaxed, but also calm, Levi seemed to have entered an empty space.

At the critical moment, Beckwith finally made a contribution. In the chaos when he lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground, he leaned back and stretched out his arm, tripping Levi's ankle and disrupting Levi's smooth steps.

Levi's inertial forward steps lost their rhythm and tempo, his knees bent, and his steps began to stagger.

Then, Adams showed up.

For a moment, just this short moment, Levi and Adams' eyes met, like two lone heroes preparing for a decisive battle in a western movie. All the other players and figures on the huge stadium disappeared, and only the two of them stood on the single-plank bridge, fighting to the death.

Adams took the first step and took the initiative.

pull.

Levi continued to rush to the right side following the trend of his body leaning forward. He had just cut back from the outside to the inside and now cut back to the outside again because he needed space to run. He needed to adjust his center of gravity and balance, otherwise he would have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with Adams.

Following closely, Adams quickly stepped up to intercept along the diagonal line, trying to complete the tackle before Levi could regain his balance.

Two figures were rapidly approaching the intersection along two radial lines at a thirty-degree angle. Adams' accurate prediction cut off the way ahead.

Closer, closer.

Just as the two figures were about to collide, Levi slammed on the brakes and controlled his body a step ahead, as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff and tightening the reins. He was shaky and in danger, and passed by Adams who was close at hand.

however!
Adams was already prepared. He ran a little too far, but braked in time, turned around and pounced, grabbing Levi at the first opportunity.

He knew Levi's abilities and had just witnessed Levi leaving White and Beckwith behind in succession. The same mistake would not happen a third time.

A grab, a hug.

Grapple, success!
Adams was delighted.

However, this time Levi applied the emergency brakes to control his body, regained his balance and center of gravity, and started again without stopping, continuously pushing off the ground to exert force.

One step, two steps.

Levi took the initiative to rush towards Adams, and continued to rush forward against Adams. Amidst the bumps and collisions, Adams was still unable to gain a stable grip.

As he staggered, seeing Levi about to break free of his hold, Adams could no longer care about anything in his hurry.

pull.

The yellow flag came out and the referee didn’t miss it.

But the game was not interrupted.

Levi felt the pull and impact of the force, but not only did he not fall to the ground, but he pushed off the ground more and more fully, increasing his strength and speed again.

Tap, tap.

Bumps, collisions, pulls, squeezes, entanglements.

Levi and Adams were completely entangled, Adams refused to let go and was trying to speed up, trying to keep up with Levi, and his speed also increased.

Stride, run, speed up.

Amid the squeezing and pushing, the speed of both people has increased.

Ten yards.

Fifteen yards.

Twenty yards.

In a blink of an eye, the two men had already rushed out for a distance, and the first attack had been successfully achieved.

Thompson, another safety of the Tigers, looked very unhappy, not because Adams failed to stop Levi, but because Adams lost his mind and completely forgot the task at hand——

Time, game time, this is the most important thing at the moment.

Damn!
