Chapter 104 Long-term plan
A pair of eyes looked at Levi excitedly and excitedly, their scorching eyes almost melted Levi, and they could not hold back their expectations and began to think ahead.
Levi, who was trapped in an ambush from all sides, remained calm and gave a completely unexpected answer simply and neatly.
"Oh, this issue is not within my scope of consideration for the time being."
What?
Because it was so shocking and unexpected that the reporters had a brief blank and were not considered? What does it mean to not be considered?
It was because of this little bit of surprise that the reporters' encirclement failed to control the density, and Levi calmly walked away as if he was in no one's land.
After a slight delay, the reporters finally came to their senses and swarmed toward Levi like a tide.
From a distance, Burns and Shaban happened to see this scene.
Originally, Burns was about to step forward to help, but he saw Levi suddenly activated and asked Humphrey and Hertz, who were watching the show, to escape together.
Humphrey watched Levi and Hertz run away, and he also started running, but his head was full of question marks, and he kept shouting, "Why should I run away? Wait, can any of you tell me, why should I run away?" "
Questioning and running.
In the blink of an eye, the three young men swung the reporter's tail away, and a few fat-bellied reporters were left behind, standing there panting like an ox, out of breath.
Burns laughed dumbly, "It seems that no help is needed."
The corners of Shaban's mouth also slightly raised, "No, I still need a little help."
Burns:?
Shaban did not sell out, "We are now on a nine-game winning streak, with three games left in the regular season, then the conference championship game, bowl game and possibly the national championship game. Now one or two media outlets are already going crazy, and it will definitely continue unabated. , I’m worried about the level of pressure this group of young people are facing.”
Immediately, Burns understood.
Just look at last season.
Last year, the Crimson Tide Storm started a new season with high expectations and were ranked the third seed, but they lost as early as the third week and the pressure was relieved early.
However, the Clemson Tigers were unstoppable. They started the new season as the 12th seed and maintained unbeatable victories all the way to the top seed. The attention of the entire North America was bustling on the young Deshaun Watson. They carried a wave of Fourteen consecutive wins to maintain an undefeated season and reach the finals of the National Championship.
The pressure is all on Clemson.
Everyone already knows the outcome. The Crimson Tide storm overturned the top seed to win the championship.
This year, the Crimson Tide storm is wearing Clemson's shoes, and the pressure is only increasing.
From the beginning of the season, the Crimson Tide Storm started as the top seed and defending champion, but only they knew how big the vacancy was after Derrick Henry left, and they suffered from the impact of consecutive running back injuries. There was always a sense of uncertainty within the team. Huge pressure to prove myself.
Now, they are advancing all the way, and finally when facing LSU, the pressure, shortcomings, and weaknesses are all exposed.
Today, the Crimson Tide Storm relied on Levi's outstanding performance to break the deadlock and continue their undefeated streak, but in the future, the pressure and challenges will only continue to increase the difficulty mode. The last thing they need is to repeat Clemson's mistakes and win the entire championship. But lost the most important game of the season.
Under such circumstances, they really don't need the media to come and cause trouble.
Burns looked at Shaban, "What are you going to do?"
Shaban took a deep breath and said, "No interviews, of any kind."
Burns was startled, "Nick! You know, this will make us the target of the media."
Shaban nodded, "I know. But this is my order. If they have any dissatisfaction, come towards me. I will tell the principal personally about it."
In other words, Shaban is the bad guy on his own. Shaban turned to look at Burns again, "Now is the Internet age. Confiscating players' mobile phones is no longer feasible. They will definitely look at their mobile phones. However, I need help to let them try not to pay attention to the media. Don't Pay attention to the news, whether it's praise or criticism."
"Burton."
A call is enough, after all, the two people have been working together for ten years.
Burns raised his hands and smiled, "I don't have a problem. The bad guys are here anyway. I'm just responsible for the execution. The children will cooperate."
Shaban didn't mind at all, his face was indifferent, showing the decisiveness of an iron-blooded coach, "Burton, pay more attention to Levi."
Burns, "Why, are you worried about him? Yes, he is the hardest hit area now. Alas, it's all our fault for being too hasty and letting him stand under the spotlight so early."
Shaban shook his head unexpectedly, "No, in fact, I'm not worried about him. He always behaves calmly in front of the media. I mean the performance on the field. In today's game, Levi should have learned a lot. If he had If I come to ask you, you need to spend more time."
Burns laughed, "Of course."
Shaban lowered his voice and said to himself, "Maybe we have really unearthed a treasure. I don't want to destroy it because of our greed or haste."
Burns heard, "Nick, do you think he should be drafted next year?"
Shaban did not answer, but fell into deep thought.
The draft is indeed an important topic, because participating in the draft means turning professional and truly entering a more advanced professional field.
Although the reporters didn’t believe it, all of Levi’s answers were sincere——
He really didn't think about it.
At least, not yet.
The season has gradually entered the second half of the season. Levi has no reference. He doesn't know how Derrick Henry performed last year because he didn't pay special attention to it. He believes that his performance is good enough and should be able to meet the principal's requirements. However, during the season It's not over after all, is it?
Moreover, the more he observed, the more certain he became. Levi believed that there should be a deal between Burns and the principal, but he didn't know whether their performance was up to standard.
Although joining the rugby team was just a transaction from the beginning; but Burns’ devotion was seen by all Levis, including Shaban. They did not regard Levi as a tool or a chess piece. , but really based on Li Wei's situation, helping him grow little by little.
If possible, Levi also hopes to help Shaban and Burns achieve their goals.
So, for now, the draft is really not an issue Levi needs to consider.
but……
Entering the professional league through the draft, experiencing confrontation, facing challenges, and pushing to the limit sounds quite interesting. Levi is also a little curious about his upper limit. With the help of the rugby training system, what height can he reach in the end and how many top experiences can he experience? The ultimate showdown between masters?
Imagining the sound of helmets hitting each other, the game of tactics and countermeasures, I couldn't help but get excited.
However, there is no rush. There is no need to act too hastily. The draft and career matters still need to be considered in the long term.
Here, Levi was taking his time and step by step.
On the other side, the professional league was already turbulent, even earlier than the media——
The fact that team managers see the media spotlighting Levi's potential for next year's draft means the entire league already knows.
If it belatedly pays attention to it at this time, it will already be several positions behind its competitors.
Today’s third update.
