Chapter 1016: Anticlimactic
The air briefly condensed, and a boiling heat wave surged.
Levi stood on the edge of the court, watching this scene, helplessness and bitterness rising at the corners of his mouth.
Although he knows that injuries are part of the game, and although it is Foles who is suffering from injuries at this moment, as a professional player, whenever he sees injuries, he still feels helpless. .
Houston. Berry. Lark. Smith.
And Watt.
Now, is it Fowles’ turn again?
Fowles was ready, ready to prove himself, ready to go all out, ready to fight to the end. However, before the first quarter of the game was over, an accident occurred——
Departure Die before you can survive.
Everything that happened during this offseason is vivid in my mind, and it is rushing through my mind.
Levi let out a long breath, shook out the messy thoughts in his mind, and prayed silently for Fowles.
However, there are no miracles.
Jones stood up with his hands on his hips, his face, which was usually expressionless, unable to conceal his frustration.
Immediately afterwards, the battery car entered the field. With the support of the team doctor, Foles got on the trailer, his shoulders slumped slightly, and he tried his best but still could not control his frustration and disappointment, and even a trace of anger.
Fowles took a deep breath, raised his head again, and looked for Levi in the crowd.
Fowles found it in no time, and it didn't take much effort.
Fowles involuntarily straightened his back and showed a smile to Levi, a little bitter and helpless, and he said silently with his mouth.
"Sorry."
Keep working hard, keep working hard, keep persisting, finally got the opportunity, but failed to persist to the end. He didn't know if there would be a chance to continue to fulfill their promise in the future. .
This scene weighed heavily on Levi's chest.
But Levi was not discouraged or sad. Instead, he smiled, held his head high, met Fowles's gaze, and raised his hands high to applaud Fowles.
They appeared like warriors and left like warriors.
Pah, pah, pah.
Once, again.
Then, other Kansas Chiefs players noticed Levi's actions. Kelsey was the first to join, followed by Mahomes and Hill.
Everyone raised their hands high and applauded Fowles.
Faced with players like Miles, they don't mind showing brutality like a rainstorm.
Faced with players like Foles, they don't mind showing the warmth of spring breeze.
Pah, pah, pah.
The fans at Arrowhead Stadium also stood up one after another and applauded.
No booing, no swearing, no ridicule.
Completely different from what was imagined, the Kansas Chiefs showed a completely different side, showing their respect and respect with a standing ovation.
In the Old Oak Tavern.
Carter didn't react. He was ready to greet Foles' departure with the worst jeers and boos, just like he faced Miles, but he never expected that the TV screen would show a completely different picture. A different side.
Turning around, Carter was about to ask Felix what was going on.
Not wanting to, Felix also raised his hands high and clapped his hands with sincerity and enthusiasm, and the entire Old Oak Tavern also joined in one after another.
No exceptions.
Carter didn't know why. In his short career as a fan, this was something he couldn't understand. But when he turned to look at the live broadcast again, something seemed to be ready to break out deep in his heart. Fowles was stunned.
Raise your head, look at the red wave in front of you, cheer for him for the first time in history, and look at Levi on the edge of the court.
Quietly, Fowles straightened his back and opened his shoulders again.
No matter what the storm is, he will face it calmly.
“At this moment, the red wave at Arrowhead Stadium did not show its sharp claws to its opponents, but paid high respect with sincere enthusiasm.”
“This is what the defending champion showed. His grace and style are undoubtedly the most special scene on the field."
"However, for the Jacksonville Jaguars, the situation is very bad."
The house leaked and it rained all night.
First, they suffered a heavy blow from the Kansas Chiefs' 70-yard long pass, then the main linebacker Myers was ejected from the field, and now the main quarterback was accidentally injured and left the field.
The Jacksonville Jaguars experienced three black minutes and were in a desperate situation.
Without waiting long, the news came -
Fowles left Arrowhead Stadium and went to the hospital to take a film and conduct an in-depth examination. At least it was determined that he would not be able to return for this game.
After the game, Foles was examined and confirmed that he had a fracture on his left clavicle and would need to rest for at least eight weeks.
Foles, who had great ambitions to join the Jacksonville Jaguars, suffered a heavy blow, which is reminiscent of Smith, who joined the Washington Redskins last season.
From all aspects, Jacksonville is indeed in a quagmire.
Almost everyone believes that the Kansas Chiefs will easily defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars and get a good start to the season without any effort.
A potentially exciting match ended in an anticlimactic manner.
The reality proves in an absurd comedy way that anything is possible in the professional arena. Unless the game is declared over, the outcome will always be in suspense.
Just like Levi came out of the blue to help the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the defending champion New England Patriots in the 2017 season opener, in today's game, the team responsible for challenging the defending champion also appeared a hero , unexpectedly caused a sensation throughout the league.
Gardner-Minshew.
Born in 1996, he is in the same class as Levi, but Levi is already in his third year, and he is the rookie selected with the 178th pick in the sixth round this year... the quarterback.
This young man is reminiscent of the real-life prototype character in the movie "Chasing Dreams", an ordinary person with limited talents but always cherishing the dream of rugby.
Of course, Mingxiu's talent is still better.
Mingxiu is very smart. He entered Troy University with an academic scholarship, but was unable to play the main role on the football team. In order to play football, he transferred to a community college and won the championship in the same level in his first year.
Following up, Mingxiu has been moving between different universities. In the final analysis, he just wants to get more competition opportunities. Unfortunately, the cruel reality makes him hit the wall repeatedly.
Because of his love for rugby, he chose to continue his graduate studies, hold an academic scholarship, and continue to pursue his dream on the rugby field.
Last year, he got two graduate student opportunities, one at Levi's alma mater, the University of Alabama, and the other at Washington State University.
In the Crimson Tide Storm, Mingxiu was worried that he might still not be able to play the main force, so he finally chose the latter. The latter's coach was very optimistic about him and fulfilled his promise to let Mingxiu take over the starting position.
In his first season, Minshew proved himself:
Leading the NCAA in passing success rate, total yards and passing touchdowns both broke the team's historical record, finally in college He made a name for himself in the arena.
At the end of the season, Minshew announced his participation in the draft. This older quarterback was also the talk of the rookie training camp, not only because of his age, but also because of his intelligence——
He The Vonderik test scored 42 points, ranking second among all rookies this year.
Could it be that... Mingxiu is the second Kurt Warner? An example of a late bloomer?
