Chapter 996 Changing the Wind
“Levi: Clenching your fist for so long that it’s painful to loosen it.”
“Levi: We need to appreciate Andrew Luck’s comeback in the 2018 season We also need to appreciate the will and spirit of 2019 Andrew Luck's decisiveness and courage to turn around this season"
"Levi: Sometimes, it takes the same courage to turn around and fight to the end."
When the interviews are all over, the major players. This is evident from the headlines of the news media——
One detail, is there still a locker room rumor that the media is pursuing about the Kansas Chiefs?
No.
Netizens generally believe that it is a thing of the past and no one cares about it; but only the reporters themselves know that Levi's counterattack has made them disgraced. How can anyone expose their shortcomings and expose themselves?
It just so happens that the hot news is all about Lark, so...
Follow the trend.
From social networks to print media, Levi's face is everywhere -
After all, this is Levi's first official appearance and first official interview after the craze on Fifth Avenue in New York, and the media is directly plunged into crazy.
Livy's famous sayings can be seen everywhere, filling every corner of the field of vision.
And, in the ESPN "Within the League" special program, Lawson expressed a point of view.
From Berry to Houston to Smith, in Levi's short two-season career, he has witnessed players' struggles in the face of injuries again and again; and at the beginning of this year, the Kansas Chiefs paid attention to fan Annie Garrison Russ's death from cancer left a scar on the city.
Therefore, Levi knows very well what injuries mean.
With Levi's character, he is undoubtedly willing to fight head-on to the end. No matter what the outcome, he is eager to leave all his energy on the field without reservation; but at the same time, Levi also deeply understands The helplessness and lamentation of wanting to continue fighting but being unable to do so.
In Luck, who was once the proud man of heaven, what Li Wei saw was the bitterness and sadness of fate, which is why Li Wei was willing to call Luck a "warrior".
As soon as the news came out, the entire social network was in an uproar and a heat wave.
The direction of public opinion has obviously changed——
Voices supporting Levi, responding to Levi, and approving Levi are rising strongly, and more and more netizens express their understanding and support for Luck's decision.
Perhaps, Luck has been working hard, fighting, and trying. During the preseason, he still hopes to continue playing.
He couldn't bear the temptation from the Indianapolis Colts to stay.
Luck also knows that he still owes a lot to the city of Indianapolis.
However, after all, I still couldn't hold on anymore, so I sadly announced that I gave up.
The chaos in front of him is exactly the reflection of Lark's inner struggle.
At this point, the voices supporting Lack have completely gained the upper hand, completely reversing the situation, and the noise on social networks has finally calmed down.
This scene is unbelievable——
Everything comes from Li Wei.
Now Levi seems to have the appeal to change the direction of public opinion. Although the foreshadowing of other players and professionals cannot be ignored, Levi’s heartfelt and empathetic words in interviews are powerfully contagious. This is the important force that drives the turn of public opinion.
Afterwards, the teams spoke out.
Including the Kansas Chiefs, everyone expressed respect for Luck's decision.
Finally, there is the Indianapolis Colts. In fact, the team has already wished Luck the first time, but now that the wind direction has changed, they still follow the wave again and wish Luck all the best after his retirement.
Noisy, lively, noisy, but in the end, it all came to an end - Luck, as he said, completely disappeared from the rugby world.
I have not acted as a commentator, I have not tried coaching, I have not appeared in any TV programs or interviews, and I have completely disappeared from the public eye.
Like a comet, it streaked across the sky with great force, burning all its energy before disappearing completely from the night sky.
Luck has been living in Indianapolis, and later returned to his alma mater, Stanford University, to complete his studies and receive his diploma. Then he moved to the Bay Area and settled down there.
Luck is very private. Not only does he not have any social network accounts, he even uses an old-fashioned flip phone and refuses smartphones.
It was not until many years later that a report from ESPN brought Luck back into the public eye.
Luck said that injuries were undoubtedly the main reason for his retirement that year, but that was only part of the reason. Another key factor was his wife.
In March 2019, he and his long-term girlfriend got married. Then in June, he confirmed that his wife was pregnant and the two were about to welcome their first child.
However, in order to become a top quarterback, it is not as easy as imagined. He must spend a lot of time on the training field and in the office, which put his marriage in crisis, especially when his wife was in the early stages of pregnancy.
The injury occurred at that time, at the wrong time.
"Rather than choosing to retire because of injuries, it is better to say that between career and marriage, I chose the latter."
Luck told reporters.
Fortunately, Lark's marriage never had any subsequent problems.
This article attracted attention mainly because of Brady——
In 2022, Brady announced his retirement and officially bid farewell to the football field; however, this retirement only lasted a few weeks , Brady announced his comeback.
For Brady’s wife Gisele Bundchen, she has been persuading Brady to retire for many years and had numerous quarrels, but this time Brady’s back-tracking became the straw that broke the camel’s back. .
Soon after, Gisele Bundchen and Brady officially announced their divorce.
This incident made Brady the target of collective complaints on social networks, and in the following season, it became the best condiment for everyone to attack Brady.
Career and family, some people choose the former, and some choose the latter; sometimes women need to face challenges, and sometimes men need to face tests. Life is fair to everyone.
Time brings us back to the present moment.
Luck retired resolutely and without nostalgia.
But the season is still going on, and the preseason will not stop.
Subsequently, the Indianapolis Colts announced that backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett would take over the starting position——
The 91st overall pick in the third round of 2016 was selected by New England Drafted by the Patriots, but joined the Indianapolis Colts as a backup in 2017. That year he played for the team in place of the injured Luck.
The incredible happened.
Amid the chaos and shock, the Indianapolis Colts actually defeated the Cincinnati Bengals to win the final preseason game.
Unexpected, 100% unexpected, everyone thought the Indianapolis Colts might be in disarray and be out for the season, but they proved one thing again.
In the NFL, anything is possible, football is definitely a team sport and no team falls apart because of one player.
The Indianapolis Colts win, standing firm amid the chaos.
However, the defending champion Kansas Chiefs lost again.
