Capítulo 1609: Chapter 1608: Warm Welco
All glory and prestige reached their peak when the Madden ga announced its 2020 cover, stirring a frenzy across the entire social network. Li Wei’s influence and appeal in the football world reached a brand new pinnacle, unprecedented and likely unmatched.
However, that’s still not the whole story.
The Madden ga closely collaborates with the league’s official ratings, providing vital reference value every year. Achieving the perfect score of ninety-nine is a particular honor, recognized on the computer data level.
Thus, the “99 Club” becos an achievent every player dreams of accomplishing.
Every year, before the new Madden ga launches, a “99 Club” campaign event occurs, featuring limited edition gear and a specially made “99” ring for players. Not only do ga players discuss it avidly, but players do too.
This year, is naturally no different.
The most eye-catching question is: can Li Wei enter the “99 Club” for the first ti? There’s also Lamar Jackson, who receives widespread acclaim, or who else will enter the “99 Club”?
In the midst of heated discussion and anticipation, the Madden player ratings were released on schedule—
Li Wei, Kansas Chiefs Running Back, 99 points.
No surprise, no suspense, a natural outco!
Last season, Li Wei had “only” 98 points in Madden ratings, but Madden updated ratings in real-ti during the season. After the London Bowl, Li Wei’s rating rose to 99 points; in the new season, Li Wei joined the ranks of the “99 Club” without a doubt.
Deserved!
Social networks erupted in cheers!
So, besides Li Wei, who else can join the “99 Club” in glory?
Mahos, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, 99 points.
Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams Defensive Tackle, 99 points.
McCaffrey, Carolina Panthers running back, 99 points.
Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints Wide Receiver, 99 points.
Gilmore, New England Patriots Cornerback, 99 points.
These nas all represent players who shined last season, proved themselves, and received recognition at the league’s official awards ceremony.
But wait—
What about Lamar Jackson?
As we look closely, 97 points—the perfect genius quarterback from last season doesn’t score a perfect score.
Fans had been grumbling that Li Wei robbed Jackson of the regular season MVP, criticizing dia reporters as puppets controlled by the league, lacking independent thought, ignoring Jackson’s phenonal season and voting for Li Wei. But now, the noise has quieted, in the Madden ga, Jackson isn’t even on the sa level as Li Wei.
Amidst the bustling and lively discussions, the excitent on social dia is uncontainable.
Of course, the lingering “Madden Curse” remains. In a sense, fans and onlookers are even more fervent in speculating whether the cover athlete can break the Madden Curse than about the upcoming Madden ga.
Historically speaking, running backs have suffered greatly from the Madden Curse, almost never ending well. After appearing on the Madden cover, their careers decline sharply. Although running backs are susceptible to injuries, such intense curse reactions are startling, raising concerns about Li Wei’s new season prospects.
After all, from the NCAA to the NFL over four seasons, Li Wei has avoided severe injuries. Many accidents and mishaps have occurred, but never causing him to miss an entire season, which is extraordinary for a running back, reminding people of the legendary Barry Sanders, who maintained stability and strength throughout his career.
The question is, Sanders was the first victim of the Madden Curse, announcing retirent after appearing on the cover. Does this an Li Wei might also…
Then, a netizen boldly speaks—
“Now the league’s only hope to stop the Kansas Chiefs’ four-peat is the Madden Curse.”
“I wonder how many players secretly pray the Madden Curse sidelines Li Wei for the season.”
“Confronting Li Wei head-on seems hopeless, only the Madden Curse remains.”
Jokes. Taunts. Sarcasm. Unrestrained.
Journalists naturally seize the opportunity to speak directly with Li Wei, dia worry that “rookie” Li Wei might feign ignorance, and they explain in detail without giving Li Wei a chance to evade.
Li Wei listens attentively, smiling, seemingly enjoying it.
After the reporters are done explaining, Li Wei responds graciously.
“Welco.”
Reporter: ?
Such a brief and straightforward answer catches all the reporters off guard.
Seeing a slew of waterlons before him, Li Wei’s smile widens completely.
“Welco to the challenge. Be it a curse or hex, I believe it’s all a challenge, and the most fascinating and beautiful part of competitive sports lies therein.”
“I am the master of my fate, not the heavens. I will fight to the end.”
A casually spoken phrase, yet resounding, seemingly echoing on the reporters’ eardrums, igniting a surge across social dia—
Everything has gone insane.
The offseason madness thus continues to surge to a new peak.
However, this year’s season preparations ultimately undergo certain changes.
Due to mask reasons, spring voluntary training camps were canceled. Although they’re voluntary, their cancellation seed inconsequential, but for rookies and transferred players, spring training camps’ importance is undeniable, especially for rookies—
It’s their chance to adapt to the professional league atmosphere, learn the tactical manual, adjust training rhythm, integrate into the locker room environnt, and during training and adjustnts, find their position, and integrate into the professional system as quickly as possible.
Many players experience a culture shock from NCAA to NFL, and spring training camp serves as a buffer, granting them ample ti and space to make adjustnts.
With spring camp canceled, young rookies are suddenly bewildered.
Excitent, joy, enthusiasm mixed in, anxious emotions silently arise.
Gone are spring training camps, even personal training is heavily restricted, players can only obediently stay ho for self-training.
After endless waiting, sumr training camp finally unfolds under the league’s stringent demands and restrictions.
In the morning, Kansas City’s golden sunlight slowly penetrates the mist, casting warmth amidst the cool breeze, and bathing in it, every pore opens, inhaling deeply the fresh air.
JJ-Watt feels a mix of emotions engulfing him, especially at the mont his feet touch the training field grass again—a surge of intense feelings.
Entering the professional league for ten seasons, it’s been a while since he last felt unfamiliar. A completely new city, a whole new training base, a completely foreign environnt—it feels like everything is starting over.
He never imagined he’d leave Houston.
In a certain mont, he seems to return to his rookie season, facing an unknown challenge, without the spring training camp preparatory transition, feeling uncertain, especially anxious.
