Chapter 822 Starting from scratch
The game was extremely tight.
Nine seconds of game time, but a full three minutes of play.
First, the Kansas Chiefs fouled and were penalized ten yards; then the New England Patriots fouled and were also penalized ten yards.
Then there was a physical conflict between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots. The scene was chaotic for a while, and the referees each hit 50 boards and gave warnings.
Although Mahomes connected with Kelsey with a seven-yard short pass, Kelsey went out of bounds after catching the ball and stopped the clock; but then the Kansas Chiefs committed a fatal early-action foul and was penalized five yards, once again putting the defending champion in danger.
After Damien carried the ball four yards, Mahomes attempted a 17-yard pass to connect with Hill standing in the end zone, but the pass parabola was slightly higher and safety guard Devin McCoutry completed it. Possibly the most valuable defense of his career, blocking Hill and causing an incomplete pass.
Strikeout!
There was back and forth and endless entanglement, but in the end the New England Patriots' defensive team once again showed their depth and experience, clinging to the situation and winning a glimmer of hope.
The Kansas Chiefs' free kick ultimately failed to complete the buzzer-beater, but the risky attempt did not plunge the team into the abyss, at least there was a free kick.
Then, all the eyes of thousands of people fell on the Kansas City Chiefs special team——
In the sixth week of the regular season, the New England Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs with a free kick; in the AFC finals, the Kansas City Chiefs needed a free kick to equalize the score.
The Kansas City Chiefs special teams team withstood the pressure.
"Accurate hit!"
"The thirty-three-yard free kick was accurately hit and there were no unexpected situations."
"Friends in the audience, friends in the audience! The Kansas City Chief accurately hit the free kick to equalize the score. The game is over, the game time is cleared, and the regular game is over."
"'31:31', a draw."
"Overtime!"
"Following the National League finals, the American League finals are about to enter overtime."
"Wonderful! This is really wonderful! Wow!"
"After the slightly disappointing endings of the wild card round and divisional round, the conference finals brought excitement, pushing the 2018 season to a new peak with unparalleled performance and ups and downs."
Accident, 100% accident, a script that even Hollywood screenwriters cannot write——
In the predicament where the overall performance in the first two rounds of playoffs was generally lower than expected, the strong collision of the two conference finals swept away the previous gloom, turning this Sunday into a collective carnival for fans from afternoon to evening.
In the first NFC finals, the first-seeded New Orleans Saints had a chance to kill the game, but the referee ruined it. The second-seeded Los Angeles Rams narrowly escaped death and won in overtime.
In the second American League finals, the second-seeded New England Patriots had a chance to kill the game, but the first-seeded Kansas Chiefs beat the referees to gain a chance and win overtime.
So, how does it end?
Commentators, fans, and fans are all making predictions, and the Los Angeles Rams, who have advanced to the Super Bowl and are waiting for the decisive opponent, are no exception.
"I think New England, Brady and Belichick are all too familiar with this situation."
"I'm rooting for Kansas City, the resilience they showed in the playoffs is not on the same level."
"It still depends on the coin guessing. There is too much luck in overtime."
There was a lot of chattering and discussion.
Then, "Aaron, what do you think?"
All eyes were turned to Donald. Donald, who had been watching the TV screen quietly, did not speak immediately, letting the silence spread in the air.
Just when people thought that Donald was not going to express any opinions, Donald took a deep breath and said, "No matter who it is, it will be a fierce battle." "I am ready to start a decisive battle with them and decide the outcome."
After speaking, Donald cracked his knuckles and made a crackling sound. His eyes flashed brightly, igniting his high morale——
For the Los Angeles Rams, they just defeated the arch-rival New Orleans Saints to avenge regular season losses and grievances over the years. Regardless of the final call, they defeated the New Orleans Saints in overtime. This is The truth is, it's that simple.
Next, whether he faces the New England Patriots or the Kansas Chiefs, Donald is ready for a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
Hot blood, boiling!
To be honest, Donald believes that overtime competition is about will and desire, luck is just the icing on the cake, and the focus is still on the belief in victory.
In this regard, Donald believes that both teams have the belief that they must win. Whether Brady or Levi, they all have burning beliefs, so it depends on who can lead the team to ignite this energy.
50-50 open.
The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs have evenly matched odds of winning.
Involuntarily, Donald leaned forward slightly and stared at the TV screen intently.
"Now, it's anybody's game, the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs are back on the same starting line, and both teams have to start over."
"Of course, the right to attack is a positive start, but the focus still lies in the subsequent confrontation and game between offense and defense."
"There is good news for the Kansas Chiefs. Levi has appeared as the captain of the team and is ready to guess the coin. Now it seems that he has returned to normal, but it is only three minutes or five minutes before Levi has recovered from the cramp just now." How much status, there is still a question mark.”
"Similarly, Brady's physical fitness also needs to be questioned."
"It is unimaginable that this American League finals has withstood such a test and faced such twists and turns. It is comparable to the Super Bowl in advance. No matter who wins in the end, this is an epic game that is worth remembering."
Levi, here we come.
The whole place thundered, whether it was Jenna or Felix, they all raised their arms and shouted, cheering for the team's spiritual leader, looking forward to Levi's return——
They knew that Levi's legs cramped only three minutes ago, and it was probably still difficult to walk now, but they were still satisfied with Levi's reappearance, as if as long as that figure appeared, they could ignite hope.
Brady was also sizing up Levi, staring at Levi deeply.
In the sixth week of the regular season, the New England Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs with a free kick; in the American League finals, the Kansas City Chiefs equalized the score with a free kick and dragged the New England Patriots into overtime. Is this considered reincarnation?
depressed. Frustrated. absurd. ridiculous.
Then, everything turned into fighting spirit and burned brightly.
Brady believes that they will win. It doesn't matter even if it goes into overtime. They will win. They will make the Kansas Chiefs' struggle turn into futility. They will step on the corpses of rookies to advance to the Super Bowl. They will prepare for last year's divisional round. To avenge the tragic defeat.
He will prove that the league is still the era of the New England Patriots and Brady——
He has not become the past, he is still the present.
Taking a deep breath, Brady looked at the referee and said his choice, "Word."
The referee showed the coin and then tossed it up in the air, where it began to flip rapidly.
Soar, stop, and land.
The coin lay quietly on the grass, and the eyes gathered bustlingly.
The referee's voice echoed throughout Arrowhead Stadium.
"Character."
