Chapter 674: 673 Secret Passage through Chen Cang
“Li Wei!”
“Li Wei!”
Like a tsunami, an overwhelming surge, a rolling heat wave swirled throughout the venue.
In an instant, it engulfed Li Wei.
Li Wei was also startled—
This scene was sothing he had never experienced before.
...
The competition was still ongoing, was this really okay?
However.
The surging heat wave approached, and one could clearly feel the slight sting of flas licking at the skin; it was so real and so torrential that his heart trembled uncontrollably.
Li Wei’s smile gently lifted, and as he waved to the fans on both sides of the player’s tunnel, this gesture sent the fans’ cheers climbing another step, becoming uncontrollable.
Just as he was about to leave, he paused for a mont, raised his head, and looked through the crowd, finding that figure in the sa area—
Felix.
Felix without the wheelchair, slightly unfamiliar, but this youthful and vibrant Felix filled one with a surge of vitality.
He was fighting, even if he couldn’t break free from the wheelchair, he was still battling in his own way on a foreign field, fighting alongside Kansas City Chiefs.
Li Wei brought his index and middle finger together, touching the tip of his brow, and made a salute gesture.
Felix saw it, and he understood completely, joy exploding within him, “Mom, Mom! Did you see it? Mom!”
One call after another.
Felix, exerting all his strength, raised his hands high, losing himself as he scread, “Li Wei! Li Wei!”
The whole venue roared.
Not just the spectators.
The players of the Kansas City Chiefs standing by the field also turned their gaze, one after another filled with enthusiasm. They waited alongside the cheering crowd, whistling and clapping, exuberantly cheering and making noise.
Houston was the first to step forward, patting Li Wei on the shoulder, sizing him up, stopping short of speaking, although a thousand words surged up his throat, in the end, he swallowed them down, said nothing, and just punched Li Wei on the shoulder, then burst into a hearty, unrestrained laughter.
anwhile, other teammates were no exception, giving high-fives, fist bumps, hugs, head pats, each welcoming Li Wei back in their own way.
This scene was captured in Reed’s eyes.
The veteran coach said nothing, his small eyes hidden behind his glasses. He quietly turned his head towards the field, continuing to focus on directing the ga—
Baltimore Ravens had made the first move.
Clearly, Harbaugh realized that Li Wei’s return had injected a strong stimulant into the Kansas City Chiefs, and the visiting team was sure to face a violent storm.
But Harbaugh was not going to passively take hits, nor was he prepared to surrender; instead, he took the initiative, trying to establish an advantage before Li Wei entered the field, before the Kansas City Chiefs could counterattack.
On one side, Harbaugh was shuffling his troops.
On the other, Reed responded calmly.
Before Li Wei’s return to the field, the Baltimore Ravens Defense executed a brilliant tactical play, capturing Mahos for the first ti in the ga, forcing Kansas City Chiefs to strike out.
However, Reed was equally seasoned; the Kansas City Chiefs Defense also launched a surge, pressuring Jackson into frequently running out of the pocket for protection.
Even though Kansas City Chiefs didn’t capture Jackson, they successfully thwarted Baltimore Ravens’ strategy of opening the ga with ground attacks, forcing Jackson to choose between passing or running the ball himself, only to be thwarted ti and again in face of Houston’s ticulous defense.
In the end, Baltimore Ravens also concluded with a strike out.
Back and forth, dizzyingly fast.
In that mont, it was quite palpable that the ga’s dynamics grew intense with the return of Li Wei, as coaches and players all focused intently.
Harbaugh tried to seize the brief mont before Li Wei’s return to surge ahead with a quick air attack, but failed.
Reed attempted to use the montum of Li Wei’s return to establish a lead again, yet this too was unsuccessful.
Thus,
The standoff continued.
From the results, it seed Harbaugh still had the advantage, noticing the potential rise in the Kansas City Chiefs due to Li Wei’s return, he tily utilized a disrupting skill. Although the Baltimore Ravens also failed to seize the opportunity, they at least successfully interrupted the Chiefs’ montary surge.
Ultimately, the young Kansas City Chiefs still lacked the experience to handle various situations and scenes.
Moreover, Li Wei was no ssiah.
In comics or movies, we often see the plot where the spiritual leader of the team returns and morale soars, unleashing 120% energy to reverse the adverse situation and snatch victory; but in real life, things are not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Undoubtedly, Li Wei’s return was a positive developnt, the Kansas Chiefs Offense was back at full strength, without worrying about lineup issues in the fourth quarter.
However, the Baltimore Ravens Defense was still staunch, resolute, and unrelenting. Before Li Wei’s exit, both teams were locked in a tough battle; after his return, they staunchly engaged in close combat, the Chiefs did not transform into Super Saiyans to break the balance of the ga.
The Kansas City Chiefs changed possession.
Baltimore Ravens, struck out.
Kansas City Chiefs, struck out.
Both sides, taking turns to take the field.
After Li Wei rejoined the ga, although the morale at Arrowhead Stadium was significantly boosted and expectations climbed higher, the offensive and defensive clash between the two teams remained fiercely contested.
The Kansas Chiefs managed to push past midfield twice in head-to-head attacks, invading the territory of the Baltimore Ravens; yet the Ravens Defense showed their top form at critical monts, once intercepting Mahos to switch possession, and once stopping Li Wei dead in his tracks with a strong frontal counter.
Similarly, the Baltimore Ravens Offense failed to seize the opportunity as well, their slightly rough and clumsy offensive strategy lacked explosive power and stability. Up against the unyielding Kansas City Chiefs Defense, their drives ended in striking out and they failed to take the lead.
“17:17”.
Still a tie.
The score did not change for a long while, just like in the first half, as the standoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens once again resulted in a deadlock.
The ga ti kept ticking; the scene and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and intense, the closer to the end of the ga it got, the thicker the air beca.
On the brink of a stalemate.
Until, “04:04”, with just four minutes and four seconds left to the end of the ga, the deadlock was finally broken.
This ti, it was Lamar Jackson’s mont.
Unexpectedly, without any warning, out ca a play from out of nowhere, a long pass strategy—
Jackson found himself in another crisis, once again relying on his physical talent to actively run out of the Pocket, once more using his feet to free himself.
Then, the pass, as expected by the Kansas Chiefs; but this ti, Jackson took a risk with a thirty-three-yard long pass, utterly shattering expectations.
Completely catching the Kansas City Chiefs off-guard.
The first and only ti in the ga sneaking behind Kansas City Chiefs’ backfield, finding the team’s fifth Wide Receiver, John Brown.
This fifth-year Wide Receiver, unheard of before, was cut by the Arizona Cardinals during the offseason, struggled to find a job, and was only picked up by the Baltimore Ravens after training camp; prior to this, he had been alternately stepping in and out of gas, playing a firefighter role.
Today, facing the defending champions, he made the most crucial reception of the season at a critical mont.
John Brown not only successfully caught the ball but also swiftly advanced into the End zone—
Touchdown.
