Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 995 Leadership Style
"Levi, Levi, may I ask..."

"Rookie ahhhhh!"

All kinds of shouts exploded heart-wrenchingly, and the reporters roared loudly as usual, trying every means to stop Levi.

Then, Levi actually stopped, stood in front of the reporter, smiled, waved and greeted them.

reporter:……

It was so unexpected and shocking that the reporters were caught off guard and frightened by Levi standing in front of them with such ease. They were stunned for a moment.

"...Rookie." Some reporters were unable to brake and screamed, standing out in the silence.

As a result, Levi stood right in front of the reporter, opened his eyes wide, smiled, and greeted, "Hey, you looking for me?"

The reporter blinked and for a moment didn't know how to react.

Li Wei looked around with an innocent look on his face, "Or did I recognize the wrong person?

Crash.

The journalists on both sides all took a half step back, leaving only that lone figure standing there like a sharp cone.

Levi looked at him.

He looked around, his breath stuck in his throat, and he looked at Levi helplessly. After holding it in for a long time, he finally squeezed out just one sentence.

"Are the recent rumors about the locker room true?"

Levi, "No. It's not."

Reporter: "Oh. OK."

Everyone: ...That's it? If Li Wei says it's not true, then it's not true? Asking further, digging deeper, and getting to the bottom of things are the basics of being a journalist, okay?
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange.

The reporters looked at each other with obvious hesitation in their eyes. They couldn't figure out Levi's tactics for a moment and became a little hesitant.

Looking at Levi in ​​front of him, he was calm and composed, with a smile on his face. The confidence he exuded from the inside out made him seem very capable and in control of the situation easily.

The reporters became alert, fearing that they might fall into a trap.

This scene made Levi burst out laughing, "Relax, I'm not Professor Hannibal, there's no need to look frightened."

Reporters:! ! !
I hadn't made any associations at first, but now, looking at Levi in ​​front of me with a smile and calmness, the image in my mind suddenly became clear -

Professor Hannibal!
Finally, they realized what Levi's image was associated with!

A group of reporters huddled together like hamsters: pitiful, weak and helpless.

However, the reporters relied on numbers to win. Amidst the crowd, some people finally seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and threw out the long-awaited questions one by one.

There is more than one focus, including off-court gossip, locker room rumors, preseason bench, expectations and pressure for the new season from both inside and outside the team, etc.

Obviously, Levi came prepared, and responded in a few words and understatedly, using a little effort to achieve a great result -

Those rumors and speculations are all groundless.

Deny, deny, and deny.

The reporter was furious. All his questions were rejected. Finally, someone couldn't hold back and said angrily, "If all this is false, why didn't you and the team respond directly? So, are you ignoring the fans or teasing the reporter?"

Whether it is the former or the latter, this is a very serious accusation. If Levi is not careful, he may put himself and the team in a difficult situation.

Suddenly, Levi was in trouble and the situation became tense.

However, Levi was not flustered. Instead, he smiled like a spring breeze, "Because we have more important things to do."

"If we need to respond every time a false rumor appears, I think there may not be enough training time." Haha.

Although the occasion was inappropriate and laughing was not allowed, some reporters couldn't help themselves.

"Why don't you confirm the authenticity of the news first before asking questions. Oh, sorry, I forgot, this is not your job... right?"

At the end, Levi's voice rose slightly, raising some questions, but the sarcasm was obvious -

Because confirming news facts is precisely the job of a journalist. Don't forget this just because fake news is flying all over social networks.

Reporters at the scene looked up at the sky and shifted their gaze one by one.

Apparently, no one wanted to look Levi in ​​the eye.

anger?

It went out in an instant, without even a spark left.

Then, someone hurriedly changed the subject, "Levi, Andrew Luck suddenly announced his retirement without any warning. What do you think about this?"

Levi: Finally!
But on the surface, Levi remained calm. Only in this way would the reporters not notice Levi's true intentions and the news effect could be maximized.

"Here, I would like to send my sincere blessings to Andrew."

"Believe me, I know it's not easy."

"A few weeks ago, I just met with my old captain Alex Smith. He finally took off the tools on his legs and joked that he was finally no longer Frankenstein; but we all know that it will be a long journey ahead, and at the same time, we don't know the final destination of this journey."

"He needs to start rehabilitation and there is no guarantee of success."

"He was very close to death and very close to having his limb amputated."

"It's a miracle that he can joke with us without losing any bones. It will be another miracle to stand on the court again; but he still decided to give himself a chance and give it a try."

"I know that people are always expecting miracles, always hoping that the players can be stronger and braver, always hoping that things that cannot happen in real life can be easily realized in us."

“It was like seeing the Red Sea open up.”

Lighthearted and humorous.

Levi's words successfully made the reporters chuckle, and their eyes were focused on Levi.

"However, the reality is that we are just flesh and blood, we are just a group of ordinary people, and miracles don't happen so easily."

"Other people's words of 'hang in there', 'come on', 'why can't you do it' are so light and powerless, but for Alex, it could be a whole year of sweat and blood, and still no guarantee of recovery."

"He didn't know if he could return to the game, nor did he know what level he could recover to. He just held on to his belief."

"Believe me, it's hard. If it sounds hard, it's a hundred or a thousand times harder."

"Andrew, same thing."

"Before Andrew announced his decision to the team, I don't know how much hesitation and struggle he went through, but I can be sure that he had already gone through this path in 2016 and 2017, long before this injury. He spent incredible energy and hard work to stand on the court again and complete a brilliant 2018 season."

"Those persistence and hard work are the glittering results that Andrew gained by burning his will and body."

"So, when he decided to turn around and leave, I believe that the person who felt the most uncomfortable and painful was himself."

"We need the courage and perseverance to hold on, but we also need the courage and perseverance to let go. It is because we have held on for too long, our hands have been clenched into fists, so loosening them has become a kind of pain."

"In my opinion, Andrew is a true warrior who faces pain and shortcomings calmly. This kind of courage is not easy to come by."
