Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1659 - 1658: Shattered Lenses
Winning streak record, invincible myth, unbeaten halo... ππ£ππ²π°πππ§π π§ππ.πππΊ
Everything, everything ended without warningβdisappointment, defeat, anger, regret filled the chest, but more important than anything else was a sense of void.
The end of a long and arduous journey, in a daze, even forgetting how things started and how they developed to this point, but no matter what, itβs finally over, that emptiness completely breaks the balance and destroys the center, dragging the soul into darkness, boundless darkness.
This is what Li Wei truly worried about.
This loss is unlike any other predicament.
Moreover!
A football team has fifty-three people, and if you add the coaches and staff, itβs more than a hundred people.
Everyone has their own emotions and feelings, their own situations and conditions; the collision of different emotions may hide chaotic risks. How to complete adjustments in a short time to meet the challenge of the next game; undoubtedly, this is the ultimate challenge.
To make matters worse, in the sixth week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs indeed face a severe testβstrong impact from the Buffalo Bills.
The Buffalo Bills is a traditional defensive powerhouse. After the young quarterback Josh Allen grew up, the offensive group made significant progress and development, making them competitive.
Facing such a team, the performance of the Kansas Chiefs Offense will be key; precisely at such a juncture and after encountering obstacles and setbacks, regulating the playersβ attitude fluctuations in the offensive group and controlling the offensive rhythm amidst tension and anxiety will increase the difficulty exponentially.
The difficulty, just like that, is laid bare with no secrets.
Moreover, time is tight, with only a short week, tick-tock, every moment feels the pressure from time and external impacts.
However!
Li Wei forgot that while he is growing, his teammates are also growing.
Over four seasons, theyβve faced storms together, experienced tests together. Although growth rates may differ, future goals might also vary; as long as they are still in Kansas City for a day, the bonds in the teamβs locker room exist, and they continue to fight shoulder to shoulder.
"Sorry."
Finally, Li Wei spoke upβ
Sorry, because he still thought he should take on everything, he still thought he should face things alone, he still thought he should bear the heavy responsibilities as captain.
He shouldnβt forget his teammates.
Today marks the moment when Li Wei re-recognizes himself and the team, whether itβs Mahomes or those like Kelsey, they all show their strength through action; usually, Li Wei shelters the team from the wind and leads them forward; now roles have been reversed...
The taste, not bad.
Those explanations swirled on the tip of his tongue, but in the end, they werenβt spoken out, turning into a simple thank you.
"And, thank you."
Emotion and passion surged in the locker room.
Mahomes leaned closer to Kelsey, deliberately not lowering his voice, "The rookie completely malfunctioned today, just said this to me."
Poof.
Watt couldnβt resist and burst into laughter.
Behind them, Hill recovered from shock and disbelief, leading the charge, "Oh oh oh, rookie! Todayβs the day for the rookie!"
Kelsey and Mahomes looked at Hill in shock, "Shh!" Fear of Li Weiβs anger! Are you asking for trouble?
Hill didnβt care, "Who knows if thereβll be a chance to mock the rookie in the future? Even if tomorrow I canβt move on the training field, itβs worth it."
Hill, living for today.
Then, they saw Hill rush out, dancing whimsically like a shaman beside Li Wei, constantly mocking him.
Rarely seen, Li Wei didnβt retaliate, just looked like he was taking it all.
Without warning, Chris Jones also rushed out and joined Hill.
Mahomes and the others were stunned, not expecting the most trusted Chris Jones would also...
Chris Jones didnβt seem to notice the strange gazes from behind, showing a smile never seen before, "Rookie! Oh oh oh! Todayβs the day for the rookie!"
Kelsey tugged Mahomes, secretly nudged Watt, "Go!"
Watt was caught off guard and took a couple of steps forward. Seeing Kelsey and Mahomes move ahead, the hesitant steps continued.
Li Wei saw this scene and even waved his hand, that expression, that movement, that posture clearly saying: Whatever tricks you have, fire them all at me.
The locker room couldnβt be controlled anymore, bustling and noisy, truly lively.
This party was entirely unexpected, even when leaving the locker room.
In threes and twos, arms around each other, expressing excitement, faces flushed, bouncing and hopping, teasing each other, joking around constantly, rushing towards the parking lot in a jubilant chaos.
If journalists or fans were present, their glasses would surely shatter on the groundβis this scene normal? Where is the look of just losing a game?
Not to mention the gloom of the end of a winning streak record, is this really okay?
On social media, insults are rampant, hate fills the screen, waiting, those detractors finally waited for the day Kansas City Chiefs lost a game, one by one, exhilarated and overly excited.
In real life, Kansas City Chiefs present a completely different scene.
Despite everyone knowing, the gap between the virtual network and real life exists, but such an obvious and exaggerated difference is still unbelievable.
"Wait!"
As they entered the parking lot, Li Wei shouted to stop everyone.
Hill, in high spirits, like a runaway horse, stepped forward, "Ha, what, rookie, are you finally ready to defend yourself now?"
"Too late, too late, too uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh late..." Hill was singing in the βshower karaoke,β feeling smug.
Li Wei ignored Hill, scanning the parking lot, "Donβt you find it strange?"
Watt, "What? Where?"
Li Wei, "Parking lot." None kept up, "All the cars are here."
Kelsey, "Of course they should be here; weβre all here, arenβt we?"
Mahomes, as a quarterback, has different observational skills, "Wait, rookie?"
Mahomes also noticed, eyes widened, "Seems all the freshmenβs cars are here, isnβt that big red one Diggsβ?"
With Mahomesβ reminder, Watt and Kelsey finally noticed the anomalyβ
Li Wei looked around, observing his teammates behind him, sharply noticing that most freshmen and sophomores werenβt there.
Itβs not strange; Li Wei was the same back then. Freshmen and newly joined players often form their own group quickly, building relationships, and forming a small clique; their relationship with team veterans often progresses through sophomores, establishing bridges.
So, the absence of freshmen and sophomores in the locker room surprise event didnβt seem odd.
Li Wei didnβt continue forward, but stood at the parking lot entrance, loudly yelling.
"Count to three, come out one by one; weβre not playing hide-and-seek."
