Chapter 1139 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Focus, explosive point, hot spot——
The Kansas Chiefs are still the NFL's unique topic-generating machine.
Whether they admit it or not, this team is becoming the center of gravity of the league, making waves with every move they make and continuing to generate heat.
victory. Levi. Scandal. Mahomes. reporter.
Topics, one after another, continue to bombard without any breathing space, and most of the time, they explode simultaneously and out of sequence.
The heat wave is rolling, dizzy, and overwhelming.
However, after the uproar lasted for forty-eight hours, it was all subdued, and finally turned into the only issue of concern to the professional league.
Next game, victory or defeat?
Putting aside the off-field scandals and controversies for the time being, the returning team returns to the game, and the Kansas Chiefs also face a severe test——
Mahomes will be out for three to four weeks. What will the team do?
Of course, facing the Green Bay Packers, the Kansas Chiefs have proven themselves. Levi broke the shackles and subverted prejudices and shined again, leading the team to defeat their opponents with an unparalleled performance to welcome victory.
A tough battle, a fierce battle, but the Kansas Chiefs are the Kansas Chiefs after all. They show their tenacity and tenacity and continue to move forward.
Everything is visible to all and praised by everyone, this is all before our eyes.
However, it is also true that a crisis is still a crisis.
In this game with the Green Bay Packers, the mistakes in the final stage were due to the fact that Levi led the team to work together to fight to the end, but it cannot be ignored that the favor of Lady Luck played an important role in allowing the Kansas Chiefs to escape. After a calamity, the aura of victory will continue.
Luck is possible once, but not every time.
In the next game, the Kansas Chiefs will face more challenges.
As a result, the Kansas Chiefs' tactics of pressing the bottom of the box were further exposed.
Secondly, other teams learned the lessons of the Green Bay Packers' regretful defeat and the inspiration of the Green Bay Packers' infinite closeness to victory, and went all out.
Thirdly, behind the joy of the eight-game winning streak, the team will inevitably face the exhaustion and pride halfway through the schedule. The joy of finally surpassing the shackles of the past two seasons may also make the spirit relaxed. In addition, the absence of Mahomes brings The situation was extremely complicated due to the blow to morale.
In other words, uncertainty is growing.
The suspense of victory and defeat has become uncertain.
Including the Kansas Chief himself admitted——
“We are facing challenges.”
Levi said when facing reporters during the team's official press day on Wednesday.
"Stress and accidents, they are all there, we cannot turn a blind eye."
"But in my opinion, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to sound a wake-up call. It reminds us that we should not take victory for granted. We should not become accustomed to winning and become slack and insensitive. We should feel the crisis and take heart.”
"The challenge is always there, and we need to face it."
This is not chicken soup for the soul, but words from the heart.
When the number of consecutive victories reaches a certain level, victory becomes a state of inertia, and the joy of victory can no longer bring excitement, and one begins to accept victory as a natural result, and the fighting spirit and edge in the subconscious are smoothed out. , lose that sharpness, and then the balance is suddenly broken without realizing it——
Failure comes.
This is the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
If you stay at ease for too long, you will often lose your keen intuition about danger. When the danger really comes, you will be in a hurry and be at a loss. Only then will you realize that you have lost the ability to deal with the crisis. Whether Mahomes' accident happened or he narrowly defeated the Green Bay Packers due to luck, in Levi's view, it was a warning that allowed them to get back on their feet.
Not just the players, but the residents of Kansas City as well.
Then, you can see it in the next team public training session.
The Kansas Chiefs consciously reduce the time spent on tactical drills and personal skills training, and instead return to basic physical training, aerobic and anaerobic cross-training——
High-intensity interval training and low-intensity aerobic training squeeze out all the energy of the players. When the training is over, each one seems to be fished out of the water,
When leaving the training base, Kelsey signed autographs for the fans in a friendly manner, but the fans discovered that Kelsey's wrist holding the pen was shaking.
Fans couldn't help but care about Kelsey's situation. Kelsey said with a sad face, "Do you now know how evil the rookie is? You can scold him later and stop torturing my old bones."
The fans couldn’t hold back their laughter, “Where are the rookies?”
Kelsey looked hopeless and said, "...Practice more." The gnashing of teeth made the fans burst into laughter.
Indeed, they should celebrate the victory, they should be confident, and they should believe that the Kansas City Chiefs are transforming into a championship team.
But at the same time, they should not let down their guard, should not take it for granted, and should not be immersed in the bubble of victory and think that they have the championship in hand.

Victory is never that simple. All the other 31 teams in the league are watching with eager eyes——
There is a strong enemy in front of us. In the ninth week of the regular season, the Kansas Chiefs are about to face another tough opponent.
Minnesota Vikings.
In the past three seasons, the National League North has emerged in an all-round way and the competition is extremely fierce. Every team such as the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions are constantly improving and transforming to remain competitive.
However, this season, it is the Kansas Chiefs' turn to face the NFC North, and these games can be described as tough battles.
The Green Bay Packers in the last game had a seven-game winning streak, while the Minnesota Vikings in this game had six wins and two losses.
The year before last, the Minnesota Vikings marched all the way to the NFC finals, one step away from advancing to the Super Bowl, but unfortunately lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Last year, the Minnesota Vikings learned from the painful experience and signed quarterback Cousins with a fully guaranteed contract. They were gearing up for a big fight. However, they never expected that the team's lineup would suffer a significant decline. In the final season, they finished with eight wins and seven games. It ended with a loss and a draw, regrettably missing the playoffs.
This year, the Minnesota Vikings have made a comeback. So far, they have only lost to the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, two sworn enemies in the same district. They have defeated strong opponents such as the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons, with an excellent record of six wins and two losses. The Green Bay Packers launch a strong impact on the playoffs.
Such Minnesota Vikings are particularly dangerous——
On the defensive side, they still maintain the upper reaches of the league; on the offensive side, the arrival of Cousins also allows them to open up the situation in terms of passing.
Threatening, skyrocketing.
Obviously, for the Kansas Chiefs, this is still a strong enemy that needs to be prepared.
Moreover, in the absence of Mahomes, there is a big question mark as to whether the Kansas Chiefs can continue to maintain their unbeaten halo of the season.
In this regard, Cousins said, "We are ready, and we will use practical actions to prove ourselves. Who is the parallel importer? The answer will be revealed soon."
Parallel imports?
Wait, who said who is a parallel import?
