Chapter 646: 645 A Better Tomorrow Chapter 646: 645 A Better Tomorrow Choking on food.
Any sensible person would know better than to make such a foolish error.
Yet, reality is not always so forgiving; one fatal mistake can make one hesitate, fearing a repeat of the sa disaster, often losing the courage to break through.
It’s only when you break that you can build.
Only by facing one’s weaknesses and bravely facing potential dangers, can one accumulate experience and evolve through repeated mistakes.
No one is perfect, and no one is free from errors, especially in competitive sports.
Even the most elite, greatest, legendary players are still human; they can too make errors and mistakes.
...
Thus, fantasizing that you’ll never make a mistake is foolish.
Errors, blunders, failures—they’re all terrible but not fearso.
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes again if you want to make true progress.
That takes courage and resolution.
Undoubtedly, Mahos was trying—
And once more, he faced an interception.
But Li Wei wasn’t worried, on the contrary, Mahos had just been intercepted due to his recklessness in the last ga and even fell into self-doubt; yet, at the critical mont of this ga, Mahos did not hesitate to take a risk.
That is the mark of a hero.
Li Wei gave Mahos a thumbs up, sending encouragent to his good friend.
Mahos couldn’t help but laugh and cry—
Interception?
Thumbs up?
Are you sure?
A second ago, Mahos was fretting over causing another interception.
Quarterbacks and soccer goalkeepers are sowhat similar.
A goalkeeper might make three to five spectacular saves in a ga, winning applause, but just one mistake could make them the villain who loses the ga; the quarterback is the sa, no amount of touchdowns can cover the negative impact of an interception, easily erasing the efforts of the entire ga.
Moreover, this was the second consecutive ga where he threw an interception.
At the beginning of the season, Mahos was creating miracles, not only powerfully breaking the record for the most touchdown passes in the first three starts of a quarterback’s career, but also making eleven consecutive touchdown passes without an interception, stunning the entire league with his performance.
Together with the still dominant and excellent Li Wei, the “Kansas City Twins” dazzled in the new season, boldly kicking off the new season.
But now, facing interceptions again, Mahos was sowhat disheartened.
The next second, Mahos saw Li Wei’s thumbs up and beaming smile, creating such an absurd and discordant mont that even Mahos wasn’t sure how to react, but a smile quickly spread across his face.
Soon, not just Li Wei, but also other Offensive group players were giving Mahos a thumbs up.
When Kelsey ca over, he looked puzzled at the scene, then down at his thumb, “Are you guys imitating ET the alien?
Didn’t they use their index fingers?”
A burst of laughter ensued.
The scene was sowhat delicate.
Ideally, the Cincinnati Bengals had finally woken up in the second half, showing the impressive form of their four wins and two losses this season in both offense and defense, disrupting the Kansas City Chiefs’ ga plan, even though the score difference was still significant, but suspense had returned.
The ho crowd atmosphere should now be tense and buzzing.
However, it wasn’t.
Not only was it not, but it was also a scene of ease and laughter.
Lewis: …You guys are not right.
Excuse , is this the Kansas City Chiefs looking down on the Cincinnati Bengals?
Is this the Kansas City Chiefs mocking the desperate struggles of the Cincinnati Bengals?
Lewis was so enraged that he almost shattered his teeth.
He felt humiliated.
Across the field, he could clearly see what was happening on the other side.
The Kansas Chiefs Offense’s players were returning to the sidelines, casually high-fiving the Defensive group players—one by one, they joked and laughed, their deanor relaxed, unaffected by the relentless pressure from the Cincinnati Bengals, a light-hearted approach that completely disregarded Lewis’s counterattack.
Thump, thump, thump.
Lewis’s temples began to throb violently, and a surge of blood rushed to his chest.
Taking a deep breath, Lewis looked toward his protégé, Dalton.
The opportunity had been created, if they could capitalize on this interception and score again, closing the gap quickly—
“14:31”.
Seventeen points, that’s the difference of three possessions, plus a half of ga-ti left, the Cincinnati Bengals totally had a chance to completely overturn the situation.
If successful, they would achieve the greatest coback in NFL history, not only continuing their winning streak but also stepping on the shoulders of Reed and Li Wei to achieve such a feat—then the Cincinnati Bengals would rise to fa, and no one would underestimate him again.
Even just imagining it briefly, without letting his thoughts wander further, Lewis already couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably—
He was waiting for such an opportunity.
Lewis: Haha, you all thought the Cincinnati Bengals were falling apart in the first half, right?
It was all a smokescreen from , a grand strategy aid at making a spectacular impact in history, playing with heartbeats, sothing you ordinary people could never understand.
“…
Interception!”
A thunderous boom, like a rumble of thunder.
Suddenly, Lewis was jerked awkwardly back to reality from his daydream, his heart racing uncontrollably, trying to regain focus amid the chaos and turmoil, confirming the scene before him.
What had he just heard?
“God, an interception!”
Arrowhead Stadium erupted with energy, shaking the entire world with its might.
Lewis’s heart plumted in free fall, finally settling on a target in the midst of confusion, confirming reality.
—Interception.
This play, Dalton couldn’t be blad.
Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver Boyd was too anxious.
He noticed Kansas City Chiefs Cornerback Fowler closing in fast.
He readied himself to catch and dart off quickly, breaking through Fowler’s defense to gain significant yardage.
Clearly, Boyd, like Lewis, was excessively excited and eager, desperate to capitalize on this interception.
However, in his urgency, he turned before securing the football, his brain reacting a step ahead of his body, resulting in him not gripping the football tightly.
Fowler seized the chance, gently poking from beneath, and the football broke free from Boyd’s grip, landing securely in Fowler’s hands.
Boyd: shocked.
Lewis: stunned.
Everything happened so suddenly, no one saw it coming.
Not even Fowler himself.
Fowler: That’s it?
He had barely exerted any effort; it was just an instinctive stealing of the peach, and then the ownership of the football changed hands.
Without even turning around, just slightly sidestepping thirty degrees, he completed the turn, and the Cincinnati Bengals’ side of the field opened up before him.
With a push of his feet, Fowler didn’t hesitate to launch a counterattack, quickly outdistancing Boyd and sprinting past before the Cincinnati Bengals Offensive group could react.
Lewis: Stop him!
