Chapter 667: 666 prove yourself
Pat, pat, pat pat.
Not just at Arrowhead Stadium, but Harbaugh too applauded Li Wei’s brilliant performance; at the sa ti, Harbaugh wasn’t surprised by the scene unfolding before him—
Against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Baltimore Ravens had prepared for a fierce battle and were ready for the Chiefs’ potential offensive explosiveness, even though the Ravens Defense didn’t have full confidence.
They needed patience.
Turning around, Harbaugh looked at his rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Although Jackson was still young and needed to refine not only his technique but also his attitude, Harbaugh appreciated Jackson’s stance when faced with challenges.
...
Different from Li Wei, but still showing a thirst for victory against challenges.
Unconsciously, Harbaugh began to look forward to the young quarterback’s future growth.
In the present, it was like this.
“Jackson!”
Harbaugh called out, and Jackson, with a fierce and determined look, shifted his gaze from Li Wei and responded with enthusiasm.
“Yes, Coach!”
This spirit was indeed comndable, not at all subdued by the excellent performance of the Chiefs.
Harbaugh, rubbing his hands together in anticipation, felt it was ti to test Jackson, feeling a bit excited.
Lamar Jackson, feeling Harbaugh’s gaze, secretly clenched his fists, exerting strength so that his knuckles made a crackling sound, as his eyes once again glanced towards the figure in the end zone—
He had truly waited a long ti for this day, far too long.
Only God knew what kind of tornt the past season had been for him; he wasn’t even afraid to enter hell anymore because hell couldn’t be more terrible.
Praise for Li Wei was everywhere, constantly reminding Jackson of his failures, not needing words—the sympathetic looks from the team and fans were suffocating, and the words of encouragent felt like daggers piercing his heart, emphasizing his insignificance.
Jackson sincerely prayed that the Kansas City Chiefs and that damn Li Wei would be quickly eliminated from the playoffs, so he could end this nightmare.
However, contrary to his wishes, Li Wei not only didn’t stop his march but also capped it off as Super Bowl MVP.
In the middle of the night, Jackson tossed and turned, unable to sleep, obsessing over being able to join the Professional League, defeat Li Wei, and prove himself.
In so ways, this was even more attractive than a championship.
Finally!
At last, the opportunity had co.
Jackson could take to the field and compete with Li Wei on the sa stage as the starting quarterback, openly proving himself better than Li Wei.
This ti, he would not miss it. Definitely.
Li Wei could sense the piercing sensation on his back, the sharpness palpable even through the air, and one look back was all it took to see Jackson.
“Oh, our quarterback might have a crush on you, do you need to pass a love letter?”
Up ahead, a playful teasing voice ca, and Li Wei withdrew his gaze, turned to look, only to see Humphrey’s sweat-covered smiling face before him.
Li Wei shrugged lightly, “I have too many admirers, I can’t respond to everyone. You can tell him there’s no need to give up the entire forest for one tree because of .”
“Hahaha.” Humphrey burst out laughing.
The two old friends high-fived, shook hands, bumped shoulders—a simple action that conveyed their warm familiarity with each other.
Humphrey shook his head gently, “God, you’re still as twisted. No, even more twisted than before. But I’m just as twisted, you better be careful on the next offense.”
Li Wei raised his left hand, pinching his thumb and index finger together, “A tiny bit scared.”
Roars of laughter erupted like thunder.
Li Wei and Humphrey didn’t say much else, each turned around. There would be plenty of ti to catch up later, but right now there were more important things that needed their full attention.
Compared to Lamar Jackson, Li Wei was more fired up when facing Humphrey. They had been teammates in college, and now they were reunited in the Professional League. Li Wei was also curious to see how much Humphrey had improved, their rivalry and contest were continuing in another form.
“The Kansas City Chiefs score first!”
“As expected, living up to the hype, the Kansas City Chiefs have once again shown their excellent form this season; this might beco yet another classic battle,” announcers comnted.
“In the opening phase, both teams displayed an unbelievable level of play, and despite the cautious probing, their thorough preparation for this ga was evident.”
“With the offense of the Kansas City Chiefs and the defense of the Baltimore Ravens both being top of the League, the tug-of-war confrontation sparked early, with the Kansas City Chiefs finally breaking through thanks to Li Wei’s spectacular individual performance, scoring the first touchdown for the ho team.”
“This offensive drive lasted a total of three minutes and thirty-seven seconds, with the Kansas City Chiefs advancing seventy-five yards. It was Li Wei who clinched a forty-seven-yard long dash to score the touchdown, breaking the tie for the Arican League’s number one seed, leaving the Baltimore Ravens starting from behind.”
“But without a doubt, this was just the beginning.”
“Wow, I an, we haven’t even fully introduced the Baltimore Ravens Defense, and now we need to shift the battleground already,” the announcers remarked.
“So, Tony, what do you think?”
In the studio, Nantz didn’t hide his admiration and praise—
This season, any ga involving the Kansas City Chiefs has been synonymous with excitent, and this afternoon is no exception.
Romo expressed his agreent.
“Without question, the Kansas City Chiefs are one of the most entertaining teams of the season, and even without the ‘one of’, this statent wouldn’t cause much controversy.”
“However, the Kansas City Chiefs have lacked a bit of luck, with strong confrontations against the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and Los Angeles Rams resulting in one win and two losses.”
“Both losses were by a margin of just one possession, ended with last-second defeats.”
“Objectively speaking, the performance of the Kansas City Chiefs has been nothing short of top-notch; they deserved to win, but the Goddess of Fortune just wasn’t on their side.”
“But reality is often cruel, and when people discuss these two gas, they won’t rember the Kansas City Chiefs lacking luck, they’ll only rember the Kansas City Chiefs lost those gas. In other words, this season when facing the real powerhouses, the Kansas City Chiefs regrettably lost both encounters.”
“At present, the Kansas City Chiefs are still the top seed in the Arican League, having only lost two gas so far this season, but it’s precisely because they’re so far ahead that expectations keep rising; people expect the Kansas City Chiefs to show more in these strong confrontations.”
“Today is an opportunity,” the broadcast continued.
“The Kansas City Chiefs need to prove themselves, this upgraded version, or rather, younger version of the team, needs to show the potential to compete and dominate in the playoffs. As the defending champions, they’re now the target of the entire League, and I believe Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens would very much enjoy defeating the Kansas City Chiefs.”
It’s not just about tactics, but also the pressure and attention on and off the field—
Competitive sports have never been just about tactics and strength; ntal state and resilience are equally vital.
As a forr quarterback criticized for his lack of resilience, Romo understood this all too well.
There, Lamar Jackson was trying to prove himself.
Here, the Kansas City Chiefs needed to prove themselves too.
Everyone had their own battle.
And as it turned out, Romo’s judgnt was correct.
The deadlock continued from the beginning and through the entire first half, both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens were determined to win!
