In just one week, Bart had done a complete 180, holding high the "Li Wei" flag unwaveringly, becoming an steadfast and loyal supporter of Li Wei. His change of face was so rapid that his colleagues could barely recognize him.
Bart could feel the bustling eyes on him, filled with astonishnt, confusion, and a variety of other emotions, but he didn’t mind—
Not only did he not mind, but he actually enjoyed it and continued to stand in the spotlight.
"The brain," Bart pointed to his head, "is Li Wei’s greatest weapon."
"This ans that Li Wei’s potential exceeds Charles’; he has the ability to change the ga. The Kansas City Chiefs might have a chance to go further this season."
Roar, roar, roar—
Elsewhere, it was hard to tell, but at least the Old Oak Tavern was in agreent.
They had had enough of playoff seasons ending abruptly and dimly, lighting up hope only to extinguish it ti and again, almost like torture.
But this year was different.
Anderson was also looking at the TV screen, thinking that this season might indeed be different.
The bustling burden, unbelievably, rested on Li Wei’s shoulders, a running back?
Indeed, this was a first.
However, Bart’s view was so startlingly controversial that it was not without opposition.
After all, the current NFL was still dominated by passing, and the quarterback was the key to changing the ga and the team, a common perspective in the League. Bart had rolled from one extre to another without a doubt, and his opinion was bound to be opposed by other professionals.
Lawson silently watched Bart, instantly seeing through Bart’s strategy:
From criticizing to praising, it was that simple.
Actually, Lawson agreed with Bart’s view. Li Wei was different from Charles; his intelligence could be the key to giving the Kansas City Chiefs more possibilities, and perhaps this season, they really could go further.
But agreeing aside, Bart had pushed Li Wei to the forefront in just a few words, completely abandoning his attitude from the previous weeks that emphasized not forcing the growth of rookie players, which could also give people unnecessary hope, possibly crushing Li Wei under an overwhelming pressure—
Even if it didn’t, it could still disrupt the harmony in the Kansas City Chiefs’ locker room.
Lawson believed they should be calr.
Thus, a rare scene unfolded.
The "Li Wei Hater" Bart was there singing praises, while "Li Wei Fan" Lawson was putting on the brakes, leaving the audience confused about the situation if they had just turned on the television, as if they had crossed into a parallel universe.
"We should stay objective, taking it one ga at a ti,"
Lawson said.
"Let’s not forget what happened after the 2013 season."
That season, the Kansas City Chiefs had a nine-ga winning streak from the start, progressing far and becoming the last undefeated team in the League. However, after coming back from the Week 10 bye, they completely lost their montum and rhythm.
In the seven regular season gas that followed, the Kansas City Chiefs were utterly disoriented, winning only two and losing five, a stark contrast to their previous impressive performance.
Forget about being the top seed in the league; they almost missed the playoffs, scrambling onto the last bus to the postseason thanks to their rivals faltering.
Who would have thought that the team favored to win the championship in the first nine weeks would nearly be ousted from the playoff lineup?
Then, in the first round of the playoffs, facing the Indianapolis Colts who had soundly defeated them in the penultimate week of the regular season, the teams battled fiercely.
The Kansas City Chiefs, leading with a huge advantage of "31:10" in the first half, faced a fierce coback from the opponent. Andrew Luck, with seventy-five seconds left in the ga, achieved a sixty-four-yard long pass to the end zone, eventually sealing the win "44:45," stepping over the Chiefs to advance to the next round.
Heroic, brutal—
This was the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2013 season.
What’s sadder is that now, when people look back on the 2013 season, they rember the historic Denver Broncos offensive group led by Manning and the peak season of the "Bombing Corps" of the Seattle Seahawks’ defensive group, but no one rembers the Kansas City Chiefs who once led the league for two-thirds of the season.
A lesson from the past needs to be heeded.
However, Bart didn’t agree.
"No, the situation is completely different."
"Certainly, the Kansas City Chiefs need to beware of running out of steam in the latter half of the season, as the NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint."
"But we shouldn’t overlook one key point."
"In the 2013 season, when the Kansas City Chiefs returned from their bye week, they faced the Denver Broncos, Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos, that offensive group could compete for the best in history, and it wasn’t a failure for the Chiefs’ defensive group to be unable to stop Manning."
"In fact, among the five losses in the last seven weeks, two ca from the Denver Broncos, two ca from the San Diego Chargers, and one ca from the Indianapolis Colts, all playoff teams, and all made at least the second round of the playoffs."
"In other words, the Kansas City Chiefs simply lost in tough matchups."
A week ago, Bart said this year’s Kansas City Chiefs’ wins were not convincing, calling them a "faux strong team." for their six consecutive victories.
A week later, Bart said the 2013 season’s Kansas City Chiefs deserved respect, even if they lost every collision with playoff strong teams.
Indeed, everyone has an opinion, and truth and falsehood depend on the argunt.
"All along, it’s been no secret that the Kansas City Chiefs lack toughness and explosiveness in critical monts, but this season is different."
"They have Li Wei."
"Yes, Li Wei."
"In crucial monts, Li Wei’s toughness and explosiveness breathed life into the Kansas City Chiefs, not only capturing the team’s focus but also leading them through breakthroughs."
"In the past six gas, five were decided in the fourth quarter, with Li Wei playing a key role in changing the pace of the ga, and today, completing a ga-winning play against the Pittsburgh Steelers."
"This is already a whole new team."
"We have reason to believe that the Kansas City Chiefs won’t repeat their past mistakes."
Bart looked righteous and resolute, taking a stance as if he was alone defending Li Wei from all the attacks, and if one hadn’t seen the previous six weeks of "Inside the League," one might now be moved to tears by such a touching display of friendship, reminiscent of the legendary friendship between Bo Ya and Zi Qi.
"Moreover, the upcoming schedule is also favorable for the Kansas City Chiefs."
"Let’s montarily forget about the playoffs and focus on next week’s regular ga, so, Josh, what do you think? Who will win?"
Is this... a reversal?
Lawson couldn’t help but smile wryly—
In week seven of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs are about to face the Oakland Raiders.
In the past two seasons, the Oakland Raiders have been on the rise, achieving a record of twelve wins and four losses last season, seizing the opportunity after Manning’s retirent for the Denver Broncos to fall into a slump, jointly with the Kansas City Chiefs, they dominated the AFC West and returned to the playoffs for the first ti since 2002.

However, this season, the Oakland Raiders have encountered so troubles, currently at two wins and four losses, in a poor recent state, seemingly once again falling into disarray.
From a rational and objective professional perspective, the Kansas City Chiefs are undoubtedly the favorites, Bart threw Lawson a question whose answer was already filled in, just waiting for Lawson to agree with his view.
Lawson flashed a smile, "I think the Kansas City Chiefs should be able to continue their winning streak."
Bart: Good boy, very good.
