Chapter 753: 752 one man guards the pass
Blood boiled, passion surged—
Leonard was on fire, his body reacting with lightning speed during the sudden stop and sharp turn, employing his reflexes perfectly; his mind void of any distractions, he was completely focused on Li Wei, exuding a sharp aura from within, unrelentingly locking onto his target.
In crisis, Leonard’s peak state erupted, despite the ga having just started, and within rely a minute of the defensive group entering the field, Leonard had reached his pinnacle.
Bending his knees, lowering his center of gravity, he stared intently at Li Wei, his muscles tensed to the utmost, ready early to face the head-on collision.
Because Li Wei was accelerating.
Everything happened in an instant; Li Wei received the football from Mahos and imdiately started, accelerating and picking up speed in one go, forcefully breaking through the space along the inside slot, aiming to exploit the brief gap before the defensive player’s third reaction, intensely seeking a ti difference.
Li Wei’s movents were quicker than anyone’s.
Leonard’s braking was too late by half a beat, but that half beat not only caught him off guard but also allowed him to secure his position, leaving Li Wei unprepared.
Ready to explode!
In a blink of an eye, as if the upper eyelid hadn’t even had ti to touch the lower one, red and white were about to collide head-on—
Collision imminent.
Silence.
The entire field held its breath.
Leonard did the sa, his eyes revealing a trace of excitent; having completely lost face during the last collision, this ti he was prepared and determined not to repeat his mistake, ready to see who would end up overturned.
Approaching.
Continuously approaching.
Here it cos!
Seeing that Li Wei was just an arm’s length away, Leonard tensed up completely, he could even clearly see the face under the helt; but there was no hit, no collision, the anticipated force did not explode.
Damn.
Leonard’s reaction was very tily, as he had already reviewed Li Wei’s ga videos hundreds of tis, even his sleep was filled with Li Wei’s playing style, the mory deeply etched in his muscles, forming a reflex—
Shifting his center of gravity.
This season, Leonard stood out from among the rookie linen who were not prominently strong, stealing the spotlight and applause from the defensive line, his on-the-spot reactions undoubtedly praised by the league.
Though his muscles were stiff and he was caught off guard, his whole body alertly reacted on ti, his body fought against inertia’s restraint, swaying to the left once more to block Li Wei’s attempt to break through from his right.
Hehe.
A smile spread across Leonardo’s lips, his gaze firmly locked on Li Wei.
Unexpectedy, under the helt, Li Wei’s smile brightly blossod, his bright eyes seeming to say,
Sorry, you fell for it.
Leonard: ???
In a flash of sight, Li Wei had already moved sideways in the opposite direction, his helt, face, and figure all blurring into a streak of light.
Damn it!
Leonard tried to keep up the pace, but his muscles were too stiff, completely tensed, unable to move even a fingertip, as rigid as a taut column.
He caught a glimpse of the red after-image, grazing past his own right shoulder, so close he could almost touch it, he could even feel the temperature of the friction between their jerseys, but his body was completely rigid, unable to react, and in the blink of an eye, the figure had disappeared.
Leonard: …Aaaaargh, he felt like going mad.
However, Li Wei no longer paid any attention to Leonard, the field ahead was clear.
Thud, thud, thud.
Pushing off the ground, exerting force, and accelerating, Li Wei’s steps almost reached the Red Zone in a blink, different from before, this ti Li Wei maintained his balance, even when slightly obstructed, his speed was unaffected.
Light, agile, like a sword unsheathed, thrusting straight for the heart.
However, the regional defense protective net still existed, with figures quickly closing in from the left and right, along with Safety Malik Hooker from the front, forming an enclosure.
Hooker: Perfect timing.
Hooker, a sophomore, like Li Wei and Mahos, also a first-round draft pick, picked fifteenth overall, entered the league under the spotlight; however, his visibility was vastly different, his rookie season performance diocre, the dia even neglected to discuss him, deeming him unworthy of the “bust” label, left to fade away unnoticed in so corner.
Now, the chance had co. He would prove himself, he would…
Wait. What’s happening?
As Hooker’s ambition blazed, he suddenly saw Li Wei accelerating, growing larger in his pupils as if shifting positions—
Wow. Wow!
In the blink of an eye, magnified tenfold, before he could figure out what was happening, Li Wei was already in front of him.
Hooker: Ah, ghost!
Li Wei burst forth with absolute speed, lightning-fast in a full sprint, breaking through the net before being surrounded on both sides.
Direclty ahead, breakthrough.
Unlike the strategy against Leonard, Li Wei didn’t pause or adjust; he combined speed, power, and body weight, striking head-on.
However, slightly shifting his position—
Left shoulder slamming into left shoulder.
In that instant, the force slamd down, cutting off all the words in Hooker’s throat, swallowing even his cries of surprise and shock, as the world spun around him.
Hooker: How… what’s happening?
Li Wei: That’s it? You’re not up to it.
Li Wei’s steps were light, even glancing back at Hooker, who was topsy-turvy, continuing forward with the montum from the shoulder hit, his speed never slowing as he light-footedly broke past the ten-yard line, entering the Red Zone.
Thud, thud, thud.
His steps, continuing to break through, crossing the five-yard line, two white figures persistently passing Hooker behind, one even leaping over Hooker’s head with a hurdling posture in a desperate attempt to catch up to Li Wei and stop him at the last mont.
However, it was just a gust of wind.
Li Wei entered the End Zone effortlessly, with unstoppable montum.
Thwack!
Fiercely, savagely, Li Wei slamd the football to the ground, looking up to the sky and howling.
“Ahhhh, ahhhh!”
“Ahhhh…”
Yelling, yelling, unabashedly roaring at the top of his lungs:
Fight. Did you see that? Annie, Felix, fight unrestrainedly and wildly, nobody can predict what tomorrow might bring, but at least they can firmly seize the present, burning passionately, releasing freely, running wild.
Dance as if nobody’s watching.
Live as if tomorrow is the end of the world.
“Ahhhh!”
Felix saw and heard, his palm on his chest, his eyes brimming with hot tears, heart surging as he watched the figure on the TV screen—
Thump. Thump.
The beating of his heart so solid and so clear, experiencing the clarity and vigor of life as never before.
He wanted to live, because his life shouldn’t end now; he still had dreams unfulfilled, journeys uncompleted, battles unfinished.
Then, “Ah!”
One yell.
“Ahhhh!”
Another yell, Felix crying unabashedly as he voiced his roar over and again, shouting and shouting until the depths of his soul ignited, feeling that fla, that searing sensation—anger, fear, luck, and fighting spirit reignited.
He was not ready to surrender.
Death?
What of it? Please, just bring it on, he was ready to resist, he would not submit ekly, nor would he give up and wait for the end.
He refused.
