Chapter 854 Maverick
Regular season MVP, this should have been an honor, but now it has gradually turned into a hot potato due to the curse of the millennium.
Slightly embarrassed.
Moreover, this year Levi and Mahomes ranked in the top two in the regular season MVP voting. Does this mean that the power of the curse has doubled?
Very embarrassing.
Every year, the regular season MVP winner swears that he does not believe in the curse and can defeat it 100%, but the result is...
In the 2015 season, Newton had his worst game of the season in the Super Bowl.
In the 2016 season, Ryan led by 25 points in the Super Bowl but flipped over.
In the 2017 season, Brady encountered Smith's Hail Mary in the divisional round - Alex - hell - Smith?
So, the MVPs all fell silent, their anus tightened, and they closed their eyes obediently one by one. They would rather believe that it is something than that it is not, right?
Including Levi.
After the results of the regular season MVP selection came out, reporters interviewed Levi immediately.
"Are you scared?"
"Afraid." The crisp answer was unexpectedly direct, leaving all the reporters confused. Something seemed a little wrong, right?
"Do you believe in spells?"
"Believe it. There is no doubt that there is a reason why the Curse has been so popular in the league for so many years. I don't think I know football better than you do."
It’s so hilarious that “rookie” jokes appear in unexpected places.
But this did not interrupt Levi.
"I know that last season, many people mentioned Kurt Warner. Sometimes they said Foles was the second Warner, and sometimes they said Smith was the second Warner. I am very fortunate that no one said that I was the second Warner, even though I I'd love to be the second Warner, especially the 1999 Warner, but I'm not sure Goff likes it."
"Of course, if I remember correctly, they're in Hollywood now, they're not in St. Louis, and Halle Berry is their fan, which is completely different than 20 years ago."
It was hilarious, the whole audience burst into laughter, applause and whistles came one after another, it was very lively.
There is no doubt that this is another scene worth remembering in the NFL. Sure enough, Levi is worthy of being Levi, and he can always create classic moments continuously.
With something at his fingertips, Levi teased his Super Bowl opponents:
This season, the Los Angeles Rams have an outstanding record. Thanks to their quick-silver offense and smooth fighting style, they have won the title of "Cosmic Sheep" and won the love of countless fans; during the season, they once made a strong appearance.
On November 11, the Los Angeles Rams played against the Seattle Seahawks at home. The game was stalemate. During a wave of offense, Goff continued to shout the name "Halle Berry" to set up tactics. This scene was captured by the live broadcast camera, and It sparked widespread heated discussion on social networks, and even received a response from Halle Berry herself. Gauff showed a shy look when responding, and even made a strong appearance in the circle.
In the end, "36:31", the Los Angeles Rams narrowly defeated the Seattle Seahawks.
These off-field highlights are indeed adding to the Los Angeles Rams' "Hollywood attributes" and earning them more attention.
The media has also been teasing the Los Angeles Rams.
Now, it's Levi's turn.
No wonder reporters love Levi so much and want to make headlines.
Reporter, "Are you serious, are you really afraid of the curse? If so, what adjustments will you make to the Super Bowl? Obviously you didn't advance to the Super Bowl to lose the game easily, right?"
Levi, "I'm serious. So, at this moment, I'm not confident." Pause, "But we're going to win."
One second, two seconds——
There was thunderous applause and shouts of approval.
Whether you like Levi or not, you have to admit that interviewing Levi is always a lot of fun.
So, what about the regular season MVP curse? How should we look at it? To a certain extent, Bart is right.
Levi is not a quarterback. He does not have the ability to control the game like a quarterback. The quarterbacks who have won the regular season MVP over the years have all failed in their efforts to reach the Super Bowl. It is not the routine of a quarterback. It is often more difficult for game MVPs to advance in the playoffs.
In 2000, St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk, the MVP of the regular season, was eliminated in the divisional round.
In 2005, regular season MVP Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl.
In 2012, regular season MVP Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was eliminated in the divisional round.
Now it's Levi's turn, and it's the same.
On the one hand, the running back once again made history. After five seasons, he once again won the regular season MVP, which is even more rare in the trend where passing is king.
On the one hand, the difficulty for the regular season MVP to lead the team to the Super Bowl has doubled -
Perhaps this curse will continue.
Even professionals "within the league" must admit that the curse is ridiculous and inexplicable, but it also exists objectively.
Although the proportion of support for the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs has not changed, they also agree with Bart's idea: Levi faces serious challenges and heavy pressure.
Then, Bart noticed Josh Lawson's imminent move.
In the past two seasons, as the No. 1 "Levi Blow", Lawson has become the leader "in the league" because his accuracy on one side has skyrocketed.
But in Bart's view, Lawson only did one thing: unconditionally supported Levi. period. There is no such thing as professionalism or analysis. It is just a mindless endorsement of Levi. How can there be any professionalism at all?
Therefore, it is the same at this time. Lawson will 100% speak up to defend Levi. The question is, when?
This time, Bart took the lead and spoke before Lawson.
"If you are going to say that Levi's debut is to break the perception, he has subverted countless records so far, then you can save some energy, because I can't convince you, you can't convince me, I believe the curse is bigger than the sky , you worship Li Wei and gain eternal life, why don’t we seek common ground while reserving differences?”
Joking, teasing, complaining.
On the surface, Bart seems to be avoiding the dispute; in fact, Bart labels all of Lawson's views as "blind superstition" and strikes preemptively.
Next, no matter how Lawson defended Levi, it was all "nonsense."
Lawson, however, took his time.
This honest man has always been pragmatic. No matter what Bart thinks of him, he always meticulously completes his research before making a final judgment.
"Sorry, you may be disappointed. My perspective is slightly different."
Well, this?
Not only Bart, but everyone within the alliance focused their attention. Could it be that the sun was rising from the west and Lawson was going to switch sides on the spot?
Being the center of attention again, Lawson still looks the same.
"I think the Super Bowl might be a waste."
Wow.
Surprise, absolutely surprise, Lawson’s point of view is different from everyone else’s, this is the real maverick!
"Judging from previous years' experience, the defensive team often plays a key role in the Super Bowl stage, and the offensive team is prone to malfunction due to nervousness or excitement."
"Last year's Super Bowl was an exception."
"This year, both teams are under tremendous pressure. The meeting in the Super Bowl is highly anticipated. The attention and pressure of the 'Super Bowl Half' has been overwhelming; coupled with the huge consumption of the conference finals, the game is very likely to be ruined. , in the end it depends on the performance of the defensive team to decide the championship.”
"But that's why the ground attack is going to play a big role. I think Levi has a chance to control his own destiny."
