Chapter 851: The whole network is paralyzed
“…The Chief of Kansas is 100% the Chief of Kansas, I have no doubt.”
"No, no, no, the Los Angeles Rams are the one with the upper hand."
"The difficulty of defending the title is there."
"The Kansas City Chiefs have the advantage in terms of experience and mentality."
"Dear friends, don't forget, the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season."
"Personally, I think that in terms of overall strength, the Kansas City Chiefs are certainly the more favored side."
You come and go, not giving an inch.
Opinions abounded, and the noise was endless.
You can tell at a glance that it’s time to predict the Super Bowl champion once again——
Everyone has an opinion, literally everyone.
Over there, the Kansas City Chiefs returned from vacation step by step and started training, preparing for the upcoming season finale in an orderly manner.
Here, the entire social network has been paralyzed, the face is red, the ears are red, and the orifices are full of smoke.
There is no doubt that this should be the most topical and discussed Super Bowl in recent years, and the attention index has soared until it exploded.
First, "Los Angeles vs. Defending Champions."
As the second largest city in North America, there is no doubt about the potential of the Los Angeles football market and its appeal in surrounding cities; however, the last time a Los Angeles football team reached the Super Bowl stage dates back to the distant 1983 season——
That year, the Los Angeles Raiders advanced to the Super Bowl and faced the defending champion Washington Redskins. In the end, the Los Angeles Raiders defeated their opponents with a complete victory to reach the top.
Exactly twenty-five years later, a Los Angeles team finally advanced to the Super Bowl again and faced the defending champion again. Is history ready to repeat itself?
You can imagine the madness in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
In the past two years, the Rams and Chargers have both moved to Los Angeles, but they have never been able to awaken the enthusiasm of football fans in this city.
Until now.
Compared with top ball markets like Los Angeles, Kansas City is not worth mentioning at all; but the point is that the Kansas City Chiefs are the defending champion and the No. 1 seed in the league. After a whole season of accumulation, all the eyes of passers-by and fans are projected on them. Not inferior to Los Angeles at all.
Secondly, the excitement of the "Super Bowl Half" is still talked about by people.
Regardless of the game process or the final result, this game is the light of the 2018 season, and has even become a benchmark for the excitement of the season——
"This wild card game is equivalent to 30% of half of the Super Bowl." "A division game is less than 50% of half of the Super Bowl." It’s just the Super Bowl.”
And so on and so forth.
Not only the NFL, but also events from the other three major sports leagues are often compared with each other. This classic battle has become an unavoidable hot topic for North American sports enthusiasts.
Now, in the same season, the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs are actually facing each other again?
No one should miss out.
Third, regular season MVP Levi. Thanks to Levi's history-making feat, the news was out of the spotlight. Last year, Levi's historic appearance in the Super Bowl and his role as Super Bowl MVP in leading the Kansas City Chiefs to the championship was far less influential. In an instant, global attention was paid to him. All heading toward this year’s Super Bowl.
The discussion here is not about rugby fans, but about fans, passer-by fans, and people who “know nothing about rugby but somehow saw countless discussions on their own timelines and then realized where the trend was and started to worry about whether they too "You need to keep up to avoid being looked down upon. Netizens who can't keep up with the trend, so they pretend to be serious and express their concern."
In other words, the attention index of non-fan groups has fully awakened.
The bustling discussion surrounding the Super Bowl has reached a new level. For a moment, it seems that the whole world is paying attention to the decisive battle of the Super Bowl——
Finally, there is some atmosphere like a World Cup final.
At the same time, the North American continent has entered the carnival period. Inside and outside, up and down, there is only one thought in the mind:
"Super Bowl Super Bowl Super Bowl".
As mentioned before, for a rare occasion, the Kansas City Chiefs have become the more favored side this year.
In fact, clues can be seen from various selections of the National First Team/Second Team, Pro Bowl, and regular season awards. Professionals' praise and affirmation of the Kansas City Chiefs surpassed that of the Los Angeles Rams.
At this time, Los Angeles fans are about to protest. Those experts must be biased because of the controversial penalty at the last moment of the National League finals.
"The controversial penalty is not our fault", "We can still beat New Orleans without the penalty", "There is no controversy at all, right?", "The league is unconditionally licking Levi, right", "Haha, we are anyway The sacrificial sheep are specially used to protect the chosen one from the bullet, right?"
And so on.
But professionals say that those selections are for the regular season, just like the Chicago Bears. Even if they lose to the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the playoffs, they should definitely be given no less recognition. The overall performance of the Kansas Chiefs in the regular season is more impressive. Persuasive, complete transformation and upgrade step by step.
However, the Los Angeles fans covered their ears and said, "No matter what, we beat the Kansas City Chiefs, period. There's no need to go any further, it's that simple, and we're going to have this record forever. We won the Super Bowl halfway, And win the Super Bowl.”
From another perspective, professionals don’t care and there is no need to quarrel with netizens.
Just looking at it from the side, everyone has an opinion about the Super Bowl, and no one can convince anyone. Everyone has their own supporters and concerns.
This is also one of the charms of collective sports events.
In the eyes of professionals, whether you support the Los Angeles Rams or the Kansas City Chiefs, one thing is uncontroversial:
The tip of the needle is against the Maimang.
By all accounts, this year's Super Bowl matchup was a perfect script, and not even Goodell could have written a better season finale.
From the perspective of a conspiracy theorist, the Super Bowl ending planned by Goodell should be "Los Angeles Rams vs. New England Patriots." The tendency of controversial penalties in the final moments of the two conference finals speaks volumes.
At that time, the results of the regular season MVP voting had not yet come out, and Levi's residual value as a sudden dark horse had been squeezed out. Compared with the Kansas Chiefs advancing to the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots, as a veteran strong team from the East Coast, faced off against the West Coast. The collision between the new generation of rising stars, the Los Angeles Rams, gives the league more room for maneuver from a football market and topical perspective.
Of course, the main theme of "front wave VS back wave" can also push the season to a new climax.
Unfortunately, the Kansas City Chiefs ruined Goodell's wishful thinking.
But he never expected that the Kansas Chiefs, who played the spoiler role for the second consecutive year, would unintentionally complete a Hollywood-style script and push the 2018 season to a climax in another way.
Sure enough, God is the best screenwriter, and fate is the best story. This truth has always been unbreakable.
