Chapter 1067: 1066 A Capture and Kill
“This is a matchup between teams, not about .”
Crennel stated.
“The Kansas City Chiefs are two-ti defending champions and currently undefeated this season. Without a doubt, they’re in the dominant position. We need to go all out to strive for victory, but the team is ready.”
Clearly, Crennel was being dismissive, avoiding discussion about himself and the Chiefs, or the matter of returning to Arrowhead Stadium.
However, the reporters persisted, they further questioned Crennel:
Who do you think can win?
“Houston Texans.”
Crennel’s answer was straightforward and without a hint of hesitation; anwhile, there were no jokes or banter, his serious expression revealing a bit of his true inner thoughts.
Compared to Crennel, another focal point seed much more relaxed.
Watt, when faced with the dia bombardnt, jokingly responded with a calm deanor.
“I know, so far this season, my stats are below expectations, but I’m ready to put up so numbers against the next opponent.”
“So, should it be three sacks, or four? As for tackles, I’m quite relaxed, let’s start with five to lighten the mood.”
“Patrick, rookie, are you ready?”
That arrogant tone carried a teasing and mocking flavor, the reporters could sense the familiarity and closeness between Watt and Li Wei.
“Of course, the victory belongs to us; after the ga, I’ll treat them to a al to comfort their wounded spirits.”
Watt’s carefree and bold speech made the reporters burst into laughter.
So, what about Li Wei?
“Mom, I’m scared.”
Li Wei’s response made the reporters laugh even harder.
“Undoubtedly, I believe they have the ability to defeat any opponent, the only question is whether they can show it in the ga. JJ, this isn’t a Hollywood movie; that last-second rescue scene has long been worn out, ti for a change. If you want to unleash your potential, do it early.”
Ha, ha ha.
Laughter rolled like thunder.
Clearly, Li Wei was joking about the hardships of the Texans’ gas—
In five gas, the score difference in four of them ca down to within a touchdown, the suspense lasting until the final monts of the fourth quarter.
Just like a Hollywood film, always waiting for the bomb countdown’s last second to cut the detonation wire.
Back and forth, laughter and anger.
Across the distance, one could feel the close friendship between Li Wei and Watt.
Yet, all of this made Watson want to vomit.
Does anyone rember Watson at the banks of Daming Lake?
From the NCAA to the draft and then to the NFL rookie season, throughout, Watson has always been Li Wei’s adversary, evenly matched and fiercely opposed.
So now?
Entering the third year, everyone is discussing the collision between Jackson and Li Wei, even talking about the rivalry between Garoppolo and Li Wei, but no one rembers that the Texans have Watson, waiting to defeat Li Wei.
Finally, Watson waited for the chance for the Texans to face the Chiefs again, ever since the season schedule was released, grinding his teeth, waiting and waiting, just for this match.
And then?
It’s all about Crennel, all about Watt; the focus is not on Watson at all, Watson couldn’t help but feel disrespected.
Watson couldn’t hold back anymore.
“I will defeat him.”
The reporters didn’t ask, yet Watson issued a challenge out of nowhere.
So much so that everyone was stunned, no one knew what had happened, watching Watson storm off in a rage, finally, soone slowly realized:
Ah, the 2016 Heisman Trophy, Watson lost to Li Wei.
2016?
That’s truly a distant mory, the reporters realized, it seems soone was constantly sharpening his knife, blaming them for forgetting this explosive point.
But the focus is, what level is Watson? And Li Wei?
Now the two cannot be compared at all, the reporters seed uninterested, not even keen on stirring the pot.
Of course, in the world of competitive sports, anything is possible. What if the Texans pull off an upset against the Kansas City Chiefs? Then everything changes.
Proof shows, everyone in the league desires to beat the Kansas City Chiefs, but evidently, it’s not an easy task.
“3:17.”
The visiting team first, the ho team next.
In the first quarter, the Kansas City Chiefs dominated the ga, creating a strong lead.
From Watson to Watt to Crennel, all performances were dim.
If the Texans want to defeat the Chiefs, defense is the key; they lack the ability to engage in an offensive duel with Mahos and Li Wei, and coach O’Brien is typical of the defense-specialized type.
Therefore, Watt is crucial.
However, Watt’s performance this season has indeed been inconsistent.
Playing injured is one reason, but Watt refuses to bla injuries, he played injured in previous years and still dominated gas, now more is due to the negative impact of aging and physical breakdown, thus his ability to adjust state and rhythm is declining.
Even the frequency of his performance fluctuations within the sa ga is increasing.
Watt knows, if they want to strive for a chance to beat the Chiefs, he must begin the counterattack, driving the whole team—
Just like Li Wei.
Football is about sports, relying on one person’s strength often can’t change the outco; the responsibility of a team leader is to inspire the team, unite the team, let the team find determination and faith on a spiritual level to face difficulties.
At critical monts, Watt stood up.
In the second quarter, Watt was like the Hulk, ferociously aggressive.
“Watt, blitz.”
“This blitz was entirely unanticipated, catching the Kansas City Chiefs completely off guard, Li Wei returned to try to stop Watt.”
“Wow!”
“Unstoppable!”
“Watt directly bulldozed Li Wei, like a tiger descending a mountain, leaving no chance for the opponent.”
“Sack!”
“Watt delivers the ga’s first sack, Mahos couldn’t escape.”
“Watt, indeed it’s Watt, the beast awakens!”
After the sack, Watt didn’t roar or celebrate, instead, he smiled and helped Li Wei and Mahos up, good-naturedly patting their shoulders, then raised his right index finger, making a gesture:
1.
The first sack, the first tackle.
Li Wei chuckled helplessly.
In the 2017 season, Li Wei had faced Watt’s might; moreover, Li Wei has had direct, strong confrontations with Donald, he knows these top players’ abilities are absolutely formidable.
But Li Wei is not a pushover either, now he’s far from being the rookie from those days, even compared to the beginning of the year at the Super Bowl, he’s made more progress.
He believes in himself, and in the team.
However, although Li Wei was on high alert, he soon found he had underestimated Watt.
To be precise, the entire league underestimated Watt.
End of the first half.
“23:17.”
Entering halfti, the Houston Texans turned the score around.
Not only turned it around, but completely shut out the season’s unstoppable Kansas City Chiefs Offense in the second quarter!
