Chapter 1217: Chapter 1216: The Rise of the Next Generation
Early winter, afternoon, hospital room.
Li Wei solemnly clasped his hands together, silently hoping, took a deep breath, and opened his hands, letting the dice drop and spin rapidly.
In a dizzying blur, it finally stopped, but surprisingly, Dexter blew a breath, seemingly nudging the dice slightly.
The dice, which seed about to settle on the number “six,” continued to move forward and finally stopped on the number “3.”
Li Wei’s eyes widened, “Dexter! Dexter! I didn’t expect this from you, Dexter!”
Felix also shook his head regretfully, silently scolding with his eyes.
Dexter feigned innocence, “I don’t know anything.”
Li Wei, “No no no, fair competition, Dexter, we must be fair!”
Beside them, Karen couldn’t believe what she saw and burst into laughter, “Rookie, this is just a ga.”
Li Wei shook his head, “Hey, Karen! Don’t you know pro players are survival-driven maniacs? I want to win, I want to beat all of you, including Felix. No no no, there’s no such thing as a ga in my dictionary, haven’t you seen go crazy?”
Felix laughed heartily.
Dexter seed startled by Li Wei’s deanor, “Hey, captain, captain! You guys just played a prank on , causing irreparable damage to my ntal health, you need to compensate , right? Right!”
Li Wei looked at Dexter expressionlessly.
Felix laughed so hard he doubled over, “Dexter, you’ve used this trick for the third ti, how long do you plan to keep seeking sympathy?”
Dexter also looked serious, as if he was really considering, and finally said, “As long as the ga isn’t over.”
Felix, “What?”
Karen, “Oh, Dexter.”
Dexter was straightforward, seemingly unaffected, “Don’t you think, aside from this ga, what chance is there to beat the captain? No, none. I must beat the captain, I must seize the opportunity, this is my chance.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
But Dexter didn’t care, “Next, Karen. The captain didn’t roll a six, so can’t take off. Karen!”
Li Wei, “Hey, that was a six, it’s because you blew on the dice…”
“Captain, are you trying to cheat?”
“You!”
“Captain, in a football match, when the referee says it’s a foul, it’s a foul, arguing with the referee is useless.”
“Wait, you’re not the referee.”
“But we all saw the result, even replay couldn’t help you, it’s a three.”
Chatter, bustling—
Lively and bustling.
The hospital room was filled with laughter and joy, and even standing in the corridor you could feel the happy vibes, it was like sunshine pouring into the cold hospital room.
Turns out, the four of them were playing aeroplane chess, a childhood ga.
Though it was just a ga, the four were more serious than anyone, arguing back and forth with heated intensity, making clueless passersby think sothing big was happening.
Karen couldn’t contain herself again, laughing out loud, she couldn’t rember the last ti she laughed so hard, her gaze drifting back to Li Wei.
Actually, this was quite nice, for now not worrying about the distant future and unsolvable problems, focusing on the present, taking each day step by step.
Li Wei seed to notice the gaze and looked up.
Karen quickly hid her emotions, smiling broadly at Li Wei, “Careful, if I roll a six this ti, I can send your piece back to the start.”
Li Wei gave a smile, “So you don’t see my pleading eyes now? If you roll a six, how about you send off another piece?”
Beside them, Felix laughed especially happily, “What happened to the fair competition?”
Li Wei, “Shh, Felix, didn’t you see the adults are talking?”
Laughter erupted, accompanied by jeers.
In the small space of the hospital, the vibrant atmosphere filled the air, a warmth dispelling the winter chill, igniting a glimr of light in the endless dark night; yet outside, the world was a whirlwind of dia excitent that could barely contain itself—
Here it cos, finally here, the annual “Kansas City Chiefs VS New England Patriots,” or should we say “Rookie VS Goat”?
The na isn’t the focus, the focus is the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited matchup.
The 2017 season opener, the dia fervently highlighted the rookie’s challenge to the goat in a high-profile clash, grabbing attention, but smart people knew this was a topic forced by the league’s marketing, repeated almost every year, yet almost never succeeded.
No one expected that within just three seasons, this rivalry had completely replaced “Brady VS Big Manning” as the new attraction of the NFL, a battle of old vs new pushing the tension to extres, with Li Wei seemingly replacing Brady as the League’s First Man, turning the world upside down.
The 2019 season, the Kansas City Chiefs were aiming for an unprecedented three-peat, Li Wei was poised to step on Brady’s shoulders and crown himself the League’s new Goat, ushering in an entirely new era.
So would Brady and Belichick’s New England Patriots just sit and watch their self-built dynasty beco history?
The answer was clearly no.
This offseason, the New England Patriots went through intense turmoil, starting with Gronkowski’s retirent, a batch of key players transferred; while the Antonio Brown wide receiver debacle within three weeks put the team in the spotlight, controversial.
In so ways, just like the Kansas City Chiefs, the New England Patriots weren’t seen favorably at the start of the season, with doubters loudly proclaiming the New England Patriots dynasty had completely collapsed, and Brady couldn’t avoid a career end in disgrace.
However, Belichick being Belichick, the New England Patriots inexplicably found ways in adversity and exploded with unbelievable energy, starting with an eight-ga winning streak, with seven victories in eight gas by a large margin.
From low points, chaos, brokenness, the fragnted New England Patriots sent a ssage to the league:
Your old man is still your old man.
Of course, the ergence and impact of young forces couldn’t be avoided, the Week 9 regular season loss to the Baltimore Ravens gave the New England Patriots a hard knock, disrupting their smooth-running pace.
The next two gas, facing the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, were played very hard, narrowly beating their opponents back to the winning path.
However, in the following week, the New England Patriots faced another strike, unexpectedly defeated by the Houston Texans who were playing their best in five seasons, handed Belichick his second loss of the season.
Brady held his breath—
Losing to Jackson. Losing to Watson.
New England Patriots’ two gas of the season were defeats by young players, one second-year, one third-year, and then… Li Wei ca.
So what was Brady feeling right now?
