Dominate the Super Bowl Chapter 826 - 826 825 All relies on acting skills

Chapter 826: 825 All relies on acting skills Chapter 826: 825 All relies on acting skills Fatigued?

The answer is undoubtedly yes, one hundred percent.

Even though Li Wei had obtained a brief respite, and his body’s recovery speed far surpassed expectations with the help of the system, the energy consud during the ga could never be fully restored in such a short period of ti.

However, Li Wei was not worried—

Because the Kansas City Chiefs were exhausted, and the New England Patriots were equally drained. At this mont, one could see players from the Patriots’ defensive group stretching, clearly struggling with cramps, dehydration, and physical exhaustion.

Moreover, the Patriots had just advanced to the edge of the Red Zone, seemingly grasping the throat of destiny, only to be struck down heavily with a devastating blow that left even deeper scars.

Brady had his chance but missed it; now the montum belonged to Kansas City Chiefs.

So, Li Wei wasn’t concerned.

The New England Patriots’ defensive group and the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive group took the field once again.

“Montum is with the Kansas City Chiefs right now. They’ve narrowly escaped death twice in a row; but the New England Patriots still hold onto an opportunity.”

“After Berry’s interception, Edelman’s tily reaction prevented Berry from returning the ball, allowing the Kansas City Chiefs to regain possession smoothly. However, they must now comnce their offense from their own seven-yard line.”

“This is not an ideal starting position for an offense. If the New England Patriots secure a safety, they can still kill the ga.”

In overti, a safety has the sa lethal impact as a touchdown.

Hence, the situation was delicate. On the surface, it appeared as though the Kansas City Chiefs held the initiative, with a chance to clinch victory; yet the New England Patriots still had an opening to deliver a knockout blow before the Chiefs could stabilize.

In this ever-changing ga, the atmosphere and intensity had tightened to their limits.

Van Noy, burning with frustration but regaining his calmness, stared fixedly at Li Wei in the pocket.

It was intentional. In truth, his peripheral vision was firmly locked onto Mahos.

On the seven-yard line, common sense dictated that the Kansas City Chiefs should opt for a ground attack—relying on the run to open up the field, regardless of the distance gained. Moving out of the Red Zone first would mitigate any risk of errors.

Especially in overti—a single misstep could spell complete disaster.

Reed handing the ball to Li Wei was almost a 99.99% certainty.

But Belichick understood this, just as Reed did. Given the visibility of this tactic, whether Reed would persist with a ground attack or have Mahos take charge to open the field was another layer of strategical chess.

Thus, Belichick instructed—

Focus on Li Wei, but do not ignore Mahos.

Belichick remained wary of Mahos opting for a Read Option offense. If the Chiefs indeed went with the run, but Li Wei wasn’t carrying the ball, then who would take on the responsibility? If the Chiefs doubted Hill or Kelsey’s capability to move the ball, who could step up alongside Li Wei?

The answer was now clear.

The Patriots’ defensive group still had a mont to kill the ga, but this opportunity might only last one or two downs. They couldn’t risk it, nor could they afford to overlook Mahos’ mobility.

Not just Van Noy. Hightower and Roberts were both keeping a close watch on Mahos.

The battle was about to erupt.

“Attack!”

Mahos called the snap, and in an instant, chaos erupted at the frontline.

On one side, the Patriots launched an all-out blitz, applying pressure with five rushing defenders, seizing their chance to create havoc near the end zone.

On the other side, Mahos bypassed Li Wei entirely. After taking the football from the center, he quickly stood up and began retreating, scanning the field instantly—

A pass.

Backing up swiftly, Mahos threw a quick short pass, his arm aiming directly at Kelsey.

Both Li Wei and Kelsey posed threats for gradual offensive progress.

The atmosphere imdiately tightened. Were the Kansas City Chiefs attempting to escape the danger of the end zone by defying expectations with a quick short pass?

Van Noy noticed it instantly—Mahos’ passing motion seed a bit stiff.

A fake?

Acting on intuition, Van Noy stepped forward, cutting into the pocket from the outside.

Whether it was a fake pass followed by a run or a risky long pass, Van Noy needed to close into the end zone imdiately, transforming pressure into a threat.

Six-man rush!

The Patriots’ initial five-man rush was rely smoke, revealed now as an adjusted six-man blitz. It was evident that their defensive line and linen had successfully coordinated, shifting into a full-on six-man charge.

A misstep left the Chiefs’ offensive line caught off guard, with mismatched force distribution spreading unevenly. Suddenly, a burst of white lightning tore through the pocket, rushing toward Mahos.

Belichick showcased both courage and strategy, deploying a bold defensive play on the first down without hesitation, demonstrating none of the confusion or despair from their earlier setback. Their focus was razor-sharp. Regardless of whether Reed chose to pass or run, the Patriots were set on taking control of the ga themselves.

Danger! Danger! Danger!

Mahos felt the impending crisis fully. The pocket had beco a battered fishing net, riddled with holes and leaks.

Disorder, panic, tension.

Mahos seed frenetic, terror-stricken, as if overwheld by the Patriots’ threat; whirling around hurriedly, he shoved the hot potato in his hands to Li Wei.

Due to the haste and apprehension, Mahos’ exaggerated movents naturally drew the defensive players’ attention. Believing they had destinies firmly in hand, they poured their strength forward, focusing entirely on taking down Mahos. The split-second shift when realizing the target had changed to Li Wei made it difficult to adjust for a second burst.

Van Noy grinned:

So it was still Li Wei after all.

In the end, Reed entrusted the Chiefs’ offensive captain once more.

However, before the joy could fully ignite, the figure in front of him blurred. Van Noy froze, staring at the empty pocket ahead in confusion.

Where was he?

Van Noy adjusted to the pocket, ready to chase down Li Wei and keep the pressure on, transforming the chaotic pocket into a high-stakes cat-and-mouse ga. But to his utter shock, Li Wei had vanished from his view.

His heart sank fast—Van Noy was lost.

So, where was Li Wei?

The middle.

Known for breaking open plays with speed and lateral movent, Li Wei abandoned his usual strategy of wing-side breakthroughs. Instead, he opted for a direct frontal assault, stepping into the middle lane, leaving Van Noy completely outmaneuvered on the side.

The dense clash of the front lines in the middle now opened up into broken gaps, and Li Wei navigated the fragnted battlefield with light, nimble steps, crossing the line of scrimmage.

Straight ahead, Hightower caught sight of Li Wei’s movent and charged to intercept, but before he could get close, Li Wei’s left-side figure suddenly collided with him. Hightower had no ti to react, and his chest heaved with a muffled grunt.

It was Mahos.

All those exaggerated flustered gestures, “hot potato” and “headless chicken” behavior—it was all a performance.

The Patriots’ defensive group was utterly baffled:

Indeed, life is theater—all depends on acting skills.

Mahos shadowed Li Wei closely, breaking out through the central gap like a vanguard, intercepting Hightower just in ti and clearing a critical path for Li Wei.
