People in America: My Uncle Don Quixote

The initial foul was just the prelude to a nightmare.

In the second attack that followed, whether it was because the center was too nervous or because the weather was too cold and his touch was off, the center who was supposed to pass the ball to Li Wei actually passed it off course when he kicked off!

The rugby ball was well beyond Levi's reach. Although he managed to stop the ball with superhuman agility, the attack was effectively nullified.

"Oh no! Another mistake!" Joe Buck exclaimed in frustration. "The Giants' offense made two consecutive basic errors on the first down, Troy. This is exactly what you were worried about before the game—the lads' mentality is crumbling!"

"He's so nervous, Joe," Troy sighed. "Look, the center's hands are shaking."

"Perhaps we shouldn't be too harsh on them," Joe Buck tried to console them, "After all, this is their best result ever, considering they hadn't made the playoffs for almost 10 years..."

After failing to advance beyond three levels, the Giants were forced to abandon their offense. The offensive group, including Li Wei, was substituted, and the defensive group entered the game, changing the balance of power.

The Washington command team's arrival was ill-intentioned.

Their quarterback is the No. 2 pick in last season's draft, a young man with exceptional athletic talent. In previous matchups, he was outplayed by Levi, and this humiliation became his mental block.

But today is different. He has waited all season and finally got this opportunity.

After the commander's offensive group came on, he showed a strong desire to win, and a precise long pass tore apart the giants' defense.

Two gears later, touchdown!

The Commanders lead 7-0.

The previously deafening cheers in the Metropolitan Stadium instantly subsided, replaced by boos from the Giants fans.

Despite the deafening boos from the Giants fans, the young quarterback was clearly a big-game player; instead of being nervous, he raised both arms.

"He's trying to get the fans to shout it out louder, Joe," Troy said with a laugh. "I think this young man has a lot of potential."

"Let's see what Levi is doing," Joe Buck said. "Is he comforting a center who made a mistake? He doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all."

"After all, the first quarter has only just begun," Troy said. "Let's wait and see."

However, Li Wei played very steadily throughout the first quarter.

His passing remained accurate, but his offensive rhythm was unusually conservative, showing no urgency whatsoever.

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are; the fans and commentators are practically frantic.

Li Wei played neither well nor poorly, and was unusually conservative, but his teammates continued to perform exceptionally well. By the end of the first quarter, the score was 10-3, with the Giants trailing by 7 points.

Although the fans in the stands had not lost confidence, some had begun to become restless.

"The second quarter has begun. Let's see if Levi can completely take over the game in this quarter."

Even Joe Buck, who was always a big fan of Levi, couldn't help but feel a little worried for him. He didn't doubt Levi's physical qualities and technical talent, but he wondered if a 19-year-old could withstand such pressure.

After all, putting aside the offline aspect, a full 4500 million people are watching online.

Everyone was waiting for Li Wei to explode, but in the second quarter, Li Wei only increased his speed slightly.

He started switching from short passes to mid-range passes, and two accurate passes helped the Giants advance to the Commander's 35-yard line, essentially pushing the front line forward.

But just when the fans thought he was about to unleash his full potential, he suddenly pulled back, ultimately securing a solid 3 points with a free kick taken by the kicker.

"3 points? Just 3 points?!" Joe Buck couldn't help but turn to Troy and ask, "Troy, did you understand what Levi was doing? Because I couldn't understand it at all."

"To be honest, as a quarterback, I can understand," Troy replied, frowning. "But this is Levi, and I really don't understand."

The Commander team, on the other hand, grew more and more confident as they played, with their young quarterback scoring another beautiful touchdown, extending their lead to 17-6.

The Giants failed to close the gap by the end of the first half.

17:13, still trailing by 4 points.

While the two teams were retreating to their locker rooms, FOX's broadcast cameras, as usual, followed Li Wei's retreating figure, capturing some highlights of the match.

In the scene, Li Wei walks to the bench area on the sidelines, takes out a dark, frosted bottle from his backpack, unscrews the cap, and takes a big gulp.

There was no logo, packaging, or even a label on the bottle.

However, judging from the color, this was not Gatorade, which was officially sponsored, so the director immediately gave it a close-up shot.

"Wait a minute," Joe Buck, who spotted the scene, said, "Troy, did you see that bottle Levi was drinking from? What's that?"

“I see,” Troy frowned. “That’s clearly not Gatorade, nor any sports drink brand I recognize.”

"I don't know, but the bottle looks pretty high-end," Joe Buck chuckled. "Maybe it's some kind of secret recipe? Considering his unusual behavior today, maybe that drink is his real secret weapon."

Kim Ha-eun was watching this scene from the players' family box.

When she saw Li Wei's performance, she slapped her thigh.

"Wow! Boss, you're a genius!" she exclaimed inwardly.

The boss definitely did it on purpose, drinking a mysterious beverage with no label in front of 4500 million viewers. This stage was simply the best way to promote his sports drink brand.

Before the start of the second half, the sky over New Jersey was already so dark it felt like a lead plate was pressing down on people's heads.

Before the start of the third quarter, the referee called an official timeout.

The snow has come.

Chapter 261, 17-0, a new historical record (seeking monthly votes) has a surprise, click to unlock now.

A sudden, heavy snowfall.

Under the stadium lights, the dense snowflakes looked like fireflies dancing in the sky, and in less than two minutes, the entire turf was covered with a thin layer of white.

"Good heavens!" Joe Buck exclaimed, "The blizzard came at least an hour earlier than the weather forecast! Troy, this will have a huge impact on the game!"

"Absolutely right, Joe, absolutely right," Troy said gravely. "The snow will make the surface slippery and the wind direction more unpredictable, which will only worsen the already disadvantaged Giants."

The fans in the stands felt a chill in their hearts. The Giants were already down by 4 points, their teammates were in poor form, and now God was deliberately playing a joke on them.

Some fans even started praying with their hands clasped together, while others buried their faces in their hands.

Some extremely pessimistic fans have already begun to accept the reality that their dream of a 17-game winning streak has been shattered by the blizzard.

However, at that very moment, the Giants' offensive unit returned to the court.

As the broadcast camera zoomed in, all the viewers saw a faint smile on Li Wei's face.

"Start! Start!"

The sound of the starting command pierced through the wind and snow.

This time, the ball bounced steadily into Li Wei's palm. He took three steps back and scanned the entire defensive formation in less than a second.

"Something's wrong, Troy!" Joe Buck, his eyes fixed on Levi, shouted to his partner, "Levi's eyes are off, he's waking up! He's going to move!"

Li Wei surveyed the entire area and then discovered that, under the cover of the wind and snow, the commander's team's security personnel were a fraction of a second slower in their initial movement due to the slippery ground.

[The predetermined trajectory] appeared before his eyes: a clear parabola shooting out from in front of the ball, marking the end of the path the wide receiver was sprinting towards.

Li Wei pushed off the ground, twisted his waist and abdomen into a bow, and swung his arms out!

The rugby ball shot out like a cannonball through the snowstorm—carrying a trail of spin, it streaked through the snow like a cannonball or a meteor.

55 yards!

With a gentle touch, the wide receiver caught the football and it was in his arms!

Touchdown!

"My God!" Joe Buck immediately stood up and shouted excitedly, "55 yards! In the snow! That's a shot from God himself!"

After a period of tension and anxiety throughout the first half, the Metropolitan Stadium finally erupted at this moment!

82500 people jumped up from their seats at the same time, and their roars almost shook the entire stadium!

They've tied it!

20: 20!

However, this is just the beginning.

For the remainder of the third quarter, Li Wei stopped acting; his performance in the snowstorm not only didn't decline, but became even more terrifying.

In a crucial third-down attack, the Commander's defensive end broke through the offensive line's protection and charged straight at Levi.

However, at the moment when the pocket collapsed, Li Wei suddenly took two steps to the side on the slippery grass and threw the ball out with a backhand without even looking!

The ball flew 30 yards through the snow and wind, and once again landed steadily in the wide receiver's arms!

"How did he do that?!" Joe Buck could already see $45000 beckoning him. "Everyone else is slipping on the grass, but Levi's core is so strong that he can walk on it like it's nothing?!"

"I'm starting to believe what he's drinking really is something special," Troy joked. "Give me your recipe, Levi, I want a bottle!"

As Li Wei overtook them, a joyful atmosphere gradually filled the studio.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 27-24, with the Giants taking a 3-point lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Commanders team unleashed their final fighting spirit in dire straits.

The Commanders' running back tied the game again with a stunning 45-yard touchdown run, making it 31-31!

There are 4 minutes and 12 seconds left.

Li Wei stood on his 25-yard line, snowflakes swirling in front of his mask.

He looked around.

The fear and tension from the start were gone from the teammates' eyes; in their place was an almost fanatical trust.

They were all watching him.

"Why are you so nervous?" Li Wei said with a smile. "Let me lead you to make history."

"Why are you so nervous?" Li Wei said with a smile. "Let me lead you to make history."

He said this.

Then he used downs and downs to advance the ball from his own 25-yard line all the way to 75 yards.

The cheers from the fans grew louder and louder.

"Levi! The Giant!"

"Li Wei! King!"

Despite the commander's final counterattack being strong and powerful, they managed to break through the giants' encirclement despite the overwhelming force and charged towards Livy.

However, with a relaxed and smiling expression, Li Wei quickly threw the ball into the corner of the end zone.

He even glanced at the Commanders' quarterback as he pitched, who was staring at him with a livid expression, completely devoid of the arrogance he displayed at the start of the game.

The ball traced a beautiful parabola, and the wide receiver leaped high into the air!

The ball landed steadily in his arms!

Touchdown!

「达阵！达阵！达阵！」乔·巴克站起身来高呼三声达阵，「李维做到了！他在暴风雪中做到了！巨人队38比31领先！时间只剩下31秒！他们要赢了！！！17连胜！！17：0！这是不可能的事情！但是他做到了！」

"Clap!" Troy Ekman stood up and clapped his hands vigorously. "Clap for Levi! Joe! You won that damn $1000 bet!"

"To hell with $1000!" Joe Buck roared, his voice trembling with rage. "This moment is worth a million dollars!"
