Chapter 680: Hit the nail on the head
Ah, ah ah ah!
Ah ah ah! Ah ah ah!
Fervor, restlessness, earth-shaking.
The entire Arrowhead Stadium plunged into madness, the world crouched at their feet, trembling, the burst of energy in an instant was enough to shake the earth.
In the end zone, Li Wei was roaring.
Over and over again.
...
Once, and then once more.
Without a doubt, this was a fierce and tough ga, and at the sa ti harder than any other ga this season. After returning to the field following a suspected concussion crisis, with close-quarter combats that were intense and unrelenting, even breathing seed capable of igniting flas.
Finally, with a touchdown, Li Wei let out his voice again.
Turning around, Li Wei looked back at those fallen bodies behind him, Wendell, Jefferson, Humphrey, Mosley… and so on, his eyes blazing as he watched them from above with a firm and sharp gaze as a direct response—
Who else?
Who else!
Ahead, a ss, not a single figure could stand completely, shivering under Li Wei’s gaze.
Then.
Felix could no longer control himself, clenched his fists tightly, and burst into loud singing.
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere, he is the Edgerunner, Li Wei, Li Wei, Li Wei!”
Gradually, the surrounding audience also joined Felix, singing spontaneously, turning enthusiasm and passion into energy, which poured down like a midsumr rainstorm, and instantly swept across the entire Arrowhead Stadium.
No one was an exception.
Passive, but never giving up; entangled, but persisting to fight to the end.
This is the young Kansas City Chiefs of today.
Even as the defending champions, they were not arrogant or complacent, they still adjusted their mindsets and started over, they were still thirsty for victory; even as the top seed in the Arican League for the season, they still went all out and spared nothing, they still tried to grow through the collisions with the strong.
They are young, they are green and naive, they fear nothing, they have boiling blood, and the high fighting spirit deep in their souls becos the motto of this team.
Fight all the way! Until the last drop of blood in the body burns out.
The deafening, passionate singing thundered through the sky, clearly making everyone witness the presence of Li Wei at Arrowhead Stadium.
On the field, Kelsey was the first to rush to the end zone, ran to Li Wei promptly, but instead of the usual hug, he dropped to one knee before Li Wei, and then lifted his right leg, placing Li Wei’s right foot on his knee, and started cleaning Li Wei’s shoe attentively.
One after another, Hill, Watkins, and the rest followed suit, kneeling on one knee as if courtiers were paying homage to their king.
Even the defensive group players were no exception, Houston and the others raised their hands high in the touchdown gesture, entering the field, celebrating Li Wei’s breakthrough. Seeing this scene, they also dragged Mahos along to join in the fun, a dense crowd falling prostrate before Li Wei.
The scene was a bit amusing.
Felix’s smile at the corner of his mouth fully blood, turning his head to Karen, who was equally overjoyed, his singing becoming more uplifting, freely released.
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere, he is the Edgerunner, Li Wei, Li Wei, Li Wei!”
The whole place boiled over.
Nantz: …
Romo: …
It was not the first ti that a brief audio silence occurred in the live broadcast, and it might not be the last, the impact and shock of the scene before them echoed and swirled in their minds for a long ti.
Involuntarily, their blood caught fire as well.
“`
“Wow,” Nantz couldn’t help but exclaim.
Turning his head, Nantz shared a glance with Romo, who echoed the sentint, “Wow.”
A smile crept up his lips.
Nantz kept shaking his head, “I an, it’s unbelievable, beyond comprehension. Although it’s not the first ti, witnessing it with my own eyes every ti still gives goosebumps.”
“Li Wei, did it again, and again, and again.”
“When the ga was completely deadlocked, when the Chieftains were on the edge of the cliff, when the team faced a crisis, Li Wei stepped up once more.”
“This ti, Li Wei had the strong support of the team’s young quarterback, Mahos. With a play-action pass that thoroughly deceived the Baltimore Ravens Defense, he secured a receiving space for his offensive group’s captain. Li Wei didn’t disappoint Mahos’s pass, turning a three-yard short pass into a thirty-one-yard dash.”
“Yes, you heard right.”
“Thirty-one yards, a long dash to the dragon’s den. Li Wei once again demonstrated the flair of an Edgerunner with an unstoppable manner; sprinting down the sideline as if he were performing an acrobatic feat, unbelievably evading three tackles and heading straight to the end zone to score a touchdown for the Kansas City Chiefs, evening the score.”
“Spectacular, nothing short of spectacular!”
After a surge of excitent, Nantz took a deep breath, a shiver running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his arms covered in goosebumps that seed to scream wildly.
“The ga has now reached a truly critical mont.”
“There are forty-three seconds left in the ga, and the ball is now in the hands of the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson is about to step onto the field again.”
“This year’s first-round thirty-second pick rookie quarterback is facing the first challenge of his professional career. Can he lead a ga-winning drive within forty-three seconds?”
“The Baltimore Ravens don’t need to score a touchdown; they just need to advance to field goal range. Harbaugh still has three tiouts, which is good news.”
“And now, all the pressure is on Jackson’s shoulders.”
“This is pressure, but it’s also an opportunity, an opportunity for Jackson to prove himself…”
Nantz was right—
The ga was far from over.
“24:24.”
After the Kansas City Chiefs confidently kicked in the extra point, the score was tied, with the outco still undecided.
Forty-three seconds remain until the end of the ga, and both coaches still have three tiouts. Although the NFL doesn’t play the last few seconds over and over for tens of minutes like the NBA does, countless possibilities can still unfold in the final countdown of an NFL ga.
The initiative is once again in the hands of the Baltimore Ravens.
“Li Wei! Li Wei! Li Wei!”
The uniform chants lingered over Arrowhead Stadium, tightening around Lamar Jackson’s throat.
During his NCAA days, Jackson never managed to get over the mountain that was Li Wei. He could lie to himself that they lost to the University of Alabama and not to Li Wei.
But what about now?
On the NFL stage, facing Li Wei once again. In a dire situation, Li Wei sustained the possibility of the ga with his unparalleled performance; in a similar situation, how would Jackson perform?
Taking a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in Jackson’s eyes. The louder the cheers at Arrowhead Stadium, the stronger his conviction grew:
He would prove himself. He would defeat Li Wei. It was that simple.
On the other side of the field.
Li Wei, surrounded by an array of stars, returned to the sidelines and flashed a smile at the ready-to-play Houston.
“Hey, captain. It’s a great afternoon for a battle,” he said.
The sun, clear and bright, seed to dispel the chill of a Kansas City afternoon. The warst mont of the day had arrived. After a brief window, it would soon plunge into the cold night amidst howling winds.
Houston understood and broke into laughter, “I think so too. Indeed, we’re cut from the sa cloth.”
