Chapter 1484: Chapter 1483: Losing Their Composure
Roar!
After sacking, Defensive Tackle Buckner was still not done, opening his bloody mouth and roaring at Mahos, the bloody aura rushing forward.
Repression, suffocation, frustration, all poured out at once.
Buckner, like King Kong, continuously pounded his chest and roared to the sky, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Mahos, forming a powerful intimidation.
This was both intimidation and oppression.
Buckner’s goal was to frighten Mahos so that the next ti he launched a surprise attack, Mahos would have his knees shaking at the sight of him.
Not just a celebration, not just a vent, but also a strategy. As a fourth-year player, Buckner was well aware of the tricks in the league.
Then, a figure appeared, glanced at Buckner, and through the helt, you could see the corners of his mouth slightly curling upward, trying hard to hold back a laugh.
Buckner was stunned.
It was Li Wei.
Li Wei didn’t look at Buckner for long, reached out to grab Mahos’ right hand, pulled him up, whispered a couple of words in Mahos’ ear, and the two simultaneously glanced at Buckner from the corner of their eyes.
Mahos was a bit honest, couldn’t help himself: Pfft.
Mahos burst into laughter.
Buckner: ??? What’s going on, sothing seems off, right?
Mahos withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Wei. Li Wei “lowered his voice” and whispered a sentence, clearly a “secret,” but in the roaring cacophony of the Hard Rock Stadium, Buckner sohow caught the syllables, “crazy…”
Buckner was struck as if by lightning, stiffened inside and out.
“Crazy, crazy, crazy,” infinitely looping in his mind, Buckner thought he was imposing and pressuring, but in others’ eyes, he was full of holes… crazy.
Just like a stage performance, so things seem justified on stage; but once offstage, things that once seed justified beco foolish.
Competitive sports are the sa. Those eyes and smiles once again awakened Buckner’s mories of his middle school days, where he was just a fool who knew nothing but football, always fumbling in front of the glamorous boys and girls at school, forever the clown in their eyes.
Reality hit, dragging Buckner back, a wave of humiliation and embarrassnt gripping his ankles, making him want to disappear into a hole.
By the ti he ca to, Li Wei and Mahos had already turned their backs, completely ignoring Buckner, as if he were nothing but a complete joke.
Damn.
Buckner held his breath, stiffly turning back to his position on the defensive line. The other defensive players were about to co up and celebrate with Buckner, but Buckner had neither the ti nor energy to greet them, clenching his fists tightly and roaring again.
Ah!
Rage, continuously erupting.
A tiny mushroom cloud rose.
Behind, Li Wei and Mahos heard it, and both laughed again, this ti genuinely.
Mahos looked at Li Wei with full admiration. In fact, Li Wei hadn’t said anything; he just said, “Laugh. Pretend you can’t hold back your laughter.”
And that was all.
As a result, the once-intimidating Buckner suddenly beca a clown. The stifling frustration of being sacked turned into laughter.
Not just Mahos; the other offensive group players, seeing the two chuckling, also couldn’t help but relax a bit.
On social networks, there’s always a hot topic: in football matches, which is more intimidating, a sack or an interception?
Of course, opinions vary, but the mainstream view is that sacks boost morale, while interceptions are economical and practical.
And right now, it’s just like that.
The San Francisco 49ers had just suffered an interception, losing possession in a strong confrontation, but Buckner imdiately delivered a sack, perfectly showcasing the philosophy of strength and beauty in football. This imdiately stabilized the shaky morale of the San Francisco 49ers and hit back at the Kansas City Chiefs.
However, watching the cheerful Li Wei, his slightly wavering mind settled back down.
Li Wei gathered the offensive group, “This is our chance. Trust , this is an opportunity.”
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, a sack just now, and now it’s an opportunity?
Is this reasonable?
Hill patted others on the back, “If the professor says it’s an opportunity, then it’s an opportunity. So, what do we need to do?”
As Hill said, the Kansas City Chiefs had a kind of blind trust in Li Wei. Just believe in Li Wei, just follow Li Wei, and they could break through.
Li Wei wasn’t just talking nonsense; he genuinely believed the opportunity had arrived.
Indeed, Mahos had just been sacked, but behind the sack was Shanahan’s panic.
Throughout the ga, Shanahan was well-prepared, adaptive in the mont, seemingly able to change tactics at any ti but always had his arrangents and plans behind the scenes, demonstrating the qualities of a top coach.
But on closer thought, no matter how Shanahan adjusted his tactics, the San Francisco 49ers never broke their formation because Shanahan knew zone defense was the right way to counter the Kansas City Chiefs.
So, what just happened?
For the first ti all ga, Shanahan broke his formation for a quarterback sack, switching from zone defense to man-to-man marking.
So may say it’s just a tactic, maybe a coincidence, maybe like a “Chiefs Special” tactical weapon, nothing to fuss over.
But Li Wei disagreed.
Li Wei believed that with Shanahan’s all-encompassing ambition, if he wasn’t desperate and out of options, he would never break his own formation. Even if Shanahan prepared to blitz the quarterback, he wouldn’t recklessly discard his zone defense.
So, when Shanahan did this, there was only one possibility:
Crisis.
Shanahan also realized the real crisis. He tried to respond and counterattack, but the point is, at this ti, Shanahan had no response strategy in mind.
Whether it was pre-ga preparation or in-the-mont adjustnt, Shanahan began to panic and lose control, so he followed his instincts and took a gamble.
On the surface, Buckner sacked Mahos, lifting the San Francisco 49ers’ morale and responding directly to the Kansas City Chiefs’ interception, but in Li Wei’s view, the success of this sack might interfere with Shanahan’s judgnt.
“Wait, this tactic actually worked? Does that an we should keep trying? Maybe we can really reverse the situation with this strategy?”
“Or should we return to the pre-ga strategy? After all, up till now, the three-quarters have been controlled with this set tactic?”
This kind of chaos, neither Shanahan nor Reed liked it, because things were off track.
But for Li Wei, it was an opportunity, and it was his mont to shine.
If the Kansas City Chiefs could seize this opportunity to disrupt the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive tactical frawork, then after intercepting Garoppolo, they would further unnerve the San Francisco 49ers and gradually take control of the remaining ga ti in the fourth quarter.
The opportunity had arrived.
In a ga, opportunities co every now and then, creating opportunities is crucial, but what’s more important is seizing them, because wasting opportunities could result in the situation slipping into another dark abyss.
“Attack!”
Mahos called the snap!
