Chapter 1139: 1138, while in safety, think of danger
Focus, explosion, hot spots—
The Kansas City Chiefs are still the one-of-a-kind topic generator in the NFL.
Whether or not you admit it, this team is becoming the center of the league, with every move stirring waves, continuously creating buzz.
Victory. Li Wei. Scandal. Mahos. Reporters.
Topics, one after another, without any break, hitting intensely, and most of the ti exploding simultaneously without following any sequence.
Heatwave after heatwave, dizzying, overwhelming.
However, after forty-eight hours of ongoing hype, it all folds back in and ultimately evolves into the sole question of interest in the Professional League.
Next ga, victory, or defeat?
Temporarily setting aside off-field scandals and controversies, focusing back on the team and back on the ga, the Kansas City Chiefs also face a severe test—
Mahos, out for three to four weeks, what will the team do?
Of course, in the matchup against the Green Bay Packers, the Kansas City Chiefs have already proven themselves. Li Wei broke free from the constraints, shattered prejudices, and shone once again, leading the team to victory with an unparalleled performance.
A tough battle, an intense fight, but the Kansas City Chiefs remain robust and resilient at their core, pressing onward.
It’s all evident, and the praise is unanimous, all right before our eyes.
Yet, a crisis is still a crisis, and this is a fact.
During the ga against the Green Bay Packers, the errors and hasty decisions in the final stages were partly due to Li Wei leading the team to fight with one heart and one mind, but we also cannot overlook the important role played by the favor of the Goddess of Fortune, which luckily allowed the Kansas City Chiefs to escape a disaster and continue their unbeaten streak.
Luck is possible once, but it can’t be this way every ti.
In the upcoming matches, the Kansas City Chiefs will face more challenges.
Firstly, the Kansas City Chiefs’ secret tactics have been further exposed.
Secondly, other teams will learn from the Green Bay Packers’ regretful loss and be motivated by how close they ca to victory, going all out.
Thirdly, behind the joy of an eight-win streak, the team inevitably faces fatigue and pride midway through the season, and after finally surpassing the shackles of the past two seasons, their relief might lead to complacency. Coupled with the blow to morale from Mahos’ absence, the situation becos particularly complicated.
In other words, uncertainty factors are increasing.
The suspense of victory or defeat also becos uncertain.
Even the Kansas City Chiefs themselves admit—
“We are facing challenges.”
On Wednesday’s official team dia day, Li Wei told reporters.
“Pressure and surprises, they are there, and we can’t ignore them.”
“But in my view, it’s an opportunity, an alarm bell ringing, reminding us that we shouldn’t take victory for granted, we shouldn’t beco complacent and numb to winning. We should feel the crisis and rally ourselves.”
“The challenge is always there, and we need to face it.”
This isn’t just so empty motivational talk but words from the heart.
When the streak of consecutive victories accumulates to a certain extent, victory becos an inertia, a state, and the joy of victory can no longer provide a sense of thrill. Then you start accepting victory as an expected outco, and your subconscious fighting spirit and sharpness are worn down, losing their edge. Then, before you realize it, the balance suddenly breaks—
And defeat arrives.
Being vigilant in peaceful tis, that’s the lesson here.
Being too comfortable for too long often causes you to lose the intuitive alertness to danger, and when danger truly arrives, you’re caught off guard and overwheld, only realizing then that you’ve lost the ability to deal with crises.
The surprise with Mahos or the lucky narrow escape against the Green Bay Packers, in Li Wei’s view, are exactly the alarms that have rallied them up again.
Not only the players but also the residents of Kansas City feel this way.
Then, during the upcoming public team training sessions, you can see—
The Kansas City Chiefs consciously reduced the ti spent on tactical drills and individual skill training and instead returned to basic physical training, incorporating both aerobic and anaerobic cross-training—
High-intensity interval training, low-intensity aerobic training, squeezing every bit of energy out of the players until, at the end of training, each one looks like they’ve been fished out of the water.
When leaving the training base, Kelsey signs autographs for fans amicably, but fans noticed his hand was trembling while holding the pen.
Fans couldn’t help but be concerned about Kelsey’s condition. Kelsey, with a grimace, remarked, “Now you see how the rookie is like a devil? Go yell at him later, stop torturing my old bones.”
Fans couldn’t help but laugh, “Where’s the rookie?”
Kelsey looked as if the world had forsaken him, “…Extra practice.” His gritted-teeth look made the fans burst into laughter.
Indeed, they should celebrate victories, they should be filled with confidence, they should believe the Kansas City Chiefs are transforming into a championship team.
But at the sa ti, they should not let their guard down, should not take things for granted, and should not be lost in the victory bubble thinking a championship is within easy reach.
Victory is never that simple, while all the other thirty-one teams in the league are eagerly keeping their eyes on them—
Right before them, there’s a strong rival, in the ninth week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs are about to face another formidable opponent.
Minnesota Vikings.
Over the past three seasons, the National League North has risen remarkably, with intensified competition, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, and Detroit Lions, each team is continuously improving, maintaining competitiveness.
Coincidentally, this season, the Kansas City Chiefs are slated against the National League North. Each of these matches can be considered a tough battle.
The previous Green Bay Packers ga was their seventh win streak, while the upcoming Minnesota Vikings match has them with six wins and two losses.
The year before last, the Minnesota Vikings marched with heads high into the National Conference finals, just one step away from the Super Bowl, only to lose to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Last year, the Minnesota Vikings, wiser from past mistakes, signed quarterback Cousins with a full guarantee contract, eager for a big coback. Yet, unexpectedly, the team’s lineup integration showed an apparent decline, ending the season with eight wins, seven losses, and one tie, regrettably missing the playoffs.
This year, the Minnesota Vikings are making a coback. So far, they’ve only lost to the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, defeating tough opponents like the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons, boasting an outstanding six-win, two-loss record, tightly trailing the Green Bay Packers, and making a strong playoff push.
This kind of Minnesota Vikings team is extrely dangerous—
In defense, they continue to maintain top league standards; offensively, Cousins’ presence has opened up their passing ga.
Their threat is soaring high.
Evidently, for the Kansas City Chiefs, they still need to prepare rigorously against this formidable adversary.
Moreover, with Mahos absent, whether the Kansas City Chiefs can maintain their unbeaten streak throughout the season is now up in the air.
To this, Cousins comnted, “We are ready, and we will prove ourselves with actual actions. We’ll see who the real underachiever is when the answer is revealed.”
Underachiever?
Wait, who said who was the underachiever?
