Chapter 964: 963 Unique
The Art of Editing—
In the previous scene, Garrett reluctantly praised Li Wei and ntioned Brady, who had suffered the toughest loss of his career last season.
In the next scene, the production team directly cut to Brady, achieving a seamless transition.
In the interview video, Brady appeared on screen.
However, Brady didn’t say a word. He just stared at the cara with a deadpan expression, staying silent, his gaze sharp, letting the atmosphere gradually quiet down.
The awkward silence hung in the air until it completely froze over.
The screen switched, and the New York Giants running back Barkley appeared in the fra.
“No, I don’t think he’s the best running back. I’m the number one running back in the league.”
“But… yeah, this season I voted for him. You said I couldn’t pick myself, so I didn’t have any other option.”
Barkley’s face was full of arrogance as he turned his nose up at the cara.
Then, shrugging slightly, he said in an indifferent tone.
“He managed to knock Brady out of the playoffs two years in a row, so I have to admit he’s brilliant. After all, not everyone can be like the New York Giants.”
Brady: …
Silence. Quiet. His death glare pierced the cara lens.
The Los Angeles Rams quarterback Goff appeared with an expression that was slightly uneasy—it was obvious he felt a bit uncomfortable.
After all, he had voted for Li Wei instead of Gurley.
So, he carefully chose his words.
“Personally, I think what’s most admirable about Li Wei is his ntal toughness.”
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but in those tense, nail-biting monts, Li Wei always maintains a relaxed deanor while staying focused. He has a way of making those monts seem enjoyable.”
“He thrives on these challenges, these confrontations, he enjoys the tension, and he keeps complete control of the ga, never missing a single detail.”
“He always seems to make the right decision at the right ti. I can’t explain how he does it, but he truly turns the ga into sothing to savor.”
“Yes, yes, exactly.” Watt appeared in the video again, “That’s exactly why we call him ‘Madman.'”
As Watt spoke, he started to laugh himself. “Can you believe it? In the overti of this year’s Arican League Championship, I swear he was *enjoying* that intensity.”
“Even though he was up against an experienced and top-tier team, he still made them look clumsy and panicked.”
“What we see on the field is his improvisation; but from my perspective, his pre-ga preparation and strategic mindset are no less impressive than a quarterback’s. During fierce confrontations, he’s always able to outwit the opposition—there’s no doubt in my mind it’s greatness.”
And then—
Brady: …
Once again, it was Brady, sitting emotionless in front of the cara, looking as if his back and knees were riddled with arrows, an image akin to a porcupine.
The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers also made his appearance in the video.
“I know people are always talking about Li Wei, but if no one ntions his ability to drive the ball long distances, they’re crazy.”
“In my mory, he’s probably had the most long-distance touchdown runs since Peterson. He’s not only explosive in short bursts but also has sustained speed for follow-through. Li Wei can turn the opponent’s defensive half into his own backyard. If Li Wei isn’t ranked number one, I think that’s just madness.”
“Li Wei is simply Li Wei.” Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Hill also gave an interview.
The receiver, nicknad “Cheetah,” had climbed up the rankings significantly, making it into the top 20 of the league’s top 100 players for the first ti in his career.
“I know so people think he’s like Peterson, or like Tomlinson, and so on. But to , he has his own rhythm, his own approach. He always finds the most fitting way to make a breakthrough.”
“In his mind, the entire playbook is filled with countless possibilities. All we need to do is trust him and follow his lead.”
“I don’t think Li Wei has any template. He’s given the running back position a new sense of vitality.”
Also from the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Mahos backed up Hill’s opinion, although his take was slightly different.
“What stands out about the rookie is his composure and rationality.”
“From pre-ga preparations to reading the defense during the ga, handling pass rushes, finding openings, creating chances, and sustaining drives—through it all, he keeps a clear head. He knows what he’s doing and understands what needs to be done.”
“To most people, this might not seem like much; but in competitive sports, it’s incredibly rare, especially in critical monts.”
“Amid hundreds of possibilities, he makes real-ti adjustnts while staring down beasts like Watt and Donald, ready to sack him at any mont. The difficulty level is unimaginable.”
“In every critical mont, the rookie commands our full attention. Even in chaos and tension, he stays composed and focused on the ga. When he’s on the sideline, it sohow feels like things are under control. I believe his role goes far beyond just being a running back.”
The Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller unexpectedly appeared on screen. This top-tier linebacker had not beaten the Kansas City Chiefs in the past two seasons. Clearly, Miller didn’t like Li Wei.
“I don’t like him. That’s it.”
“He’s like a thorn in my side. He complicates the ga and introduces all these variables. God, I really can’t stand him.”
“I won’t say he’s a nightmare for the defensive line, but…”
Heh.
Miller put on a forced smile, tugging at the corners of his mouth in front of the cara.
Then, the screen shifted.
Brady: With a fake smile, reluctantly flashing a row of perfect white teeth.
“?” The Green Bay Packers quarterback Rodgers fell into deep thought, seemingly unsure why he chose Li Wei—was it an instinctive reaction?
Arrogant and always confident, Rodgers couldn’t help but wonder: What if Li Wei played as the running back for the Green Bay Packers?
“I think Li Wei’s performance in adversity is always comndable.”
“No fear, no hesitation, no retreat. He always finds a way to keep the ga alive. The Arican League Championship this year is a pri example. Even the Kansas City Chiefs themselves realized things were slipping out of their control, but no one knew what magic Li Wei pulled to turn the ga around.”
“What stood out the most, though, was his performance in overti. From defense to offense, Li Wei truly exhibited leadership qualities.”
Brady: Can we stop beating a dead horse already?
Los Angeles Rams: Heh. At least the Arican League Championship keeps getting ntioned. The Super Bowl wasn’t even acknowledged, okay?
Donald: Forced smile.
But unexpectedly, the saddest one turned out to be Rodgers himself—
Taking a silent breath, Rodgers returned to his usual expression, looked confidently at the cara, and flashed a calm, self-assured smile.
“I look forward to eting him.”
In those understated words, his confidence shone through.
In Rodgers’ mind, this was the ultimate tribute. After two years of buildup, with their Super Bowl win under their belt, the Kansas City Chiefs had finally beco the team that everyone in the league wanted to beat.
So, was this a case of poetic justice?
