Chapter 154 Sincerity
As a running back, Marshawn Lynch does not have as many on-field honors as expected:
He led the NFL in running yards for two consecutive years in 2013 and 2014, five Pro Bowls, one first-team All-American, one second-team All-American, that's all.
It is precisely because of this that from the perspective of system evaluation, Lynch and McCoy are both A-level and not at the same level as Peterson.
However, in terms of popularity, reputation, popularity, and popularity, Lynch is undoubtedly one of the most famous players in the NFL in the past ten years, and is even better known than most quarterbacks to some extent, even though It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "king of topics", and the reason lies in his game mode:
Beast mode.
In the 2010 season, Lynch's first season after transferring to the Seattle Seahawks, his regular season performance was mediocre and he was just an ordinary rotation running back. However, in the first round of the playoffs, against the New Orleans Saints, With three minutes and thirty-nine seconds left before the end of the game, the Seattle Seahawks were still trailing, and Lynch, who came on the rotation, burst out with incredible energy.
He started the offense from his own 33-yard line and passed through the defense of nine players in a row, including a powerful performance of overturning the opponent's cornerback Tracy Porter with one hand, and drove straight into the goal. Scored a touchdown in the end zone to help the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New Orleans Saints.
Lynch became famous in one battle.
At that time, the Seattle Seahawks' home victory cheers were so crazy that seismometers near the stadium mistakenly reported a small earthquake.
From that time on, Lynch also had a nickname, Beast Mode.
During Lynch's peak period from the 2011 season to the 2014 season, he might have performed mediocrely, but no one could be sure when he would suddenly enter beast mode, instantly bursting out with devastating energy to subvert the game. He always played the Seattle Seahawks game. unknown factors.
There is no doubt that Lynch's instant explosive power and brutal collision make him a favorite to be out of the circle. Even if the team loses the game, one of his divinely assisted outbursts can easily become the focus of everyone's forwarding on social networks. This Gaining him incredible popularity.
Unfortunately, this way of playing is destined to rely heavily on the body. Lynch has been suffering from injuries throughout his career. In 2015, he missed most of the season due to injuries. Then he sat in the garbage time of the fourth quarter of the 50th Super Bowl. Lynch, who was watching the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers game at home, stole all the spotlight in an unexpected way -
He posted a photo of hanging up his boots on his social network to announce his retirement.
Now.
Lynch became the third template in Levi's training system.
The reason is very intuitive: Levi needs to increase his confrontation ability.
Before the Christmas holiday, Shaban and Burns said that Levi is still too thin now. After entering the NFL, he may face some difficulties in the muscle traps surrounded by many, and the necessity of strength training will be highlighted. Compared with those tank-type running backs, Lynch is more suitable for Levi.
The reward has arrived, and the next direction and goal for his efforts have emerged. This has also become the best motivation for Levi to continue working hard and training.
So, the day after the Crimson Tide stormed to the national championship and ended the 2016 NCAA season, Levi still started training step by step.
"Levi, good job!"
"Roar, Red Tide! Roar!"
"Good morning."
"Levi, I love you, ahhhh, ahhhh!"
"Come on, Crimson Tide Storm."
Along the way, there was constant support.
For the University of Alabama, this was the morning after a carnival celebration. They still had to go to class. They struggled to get up early in the morning and headed to the classroom or library with their groggy heads. However, the moment they saw Levi , all hangovers and drowsiness are forgotten.
The campus is full of hustle and bustle——
There is no doubt that Levi has now become a hero in the entire town of Tuscaloosa. Every household knows Levi and always greets him cordially. However, no one came forward to disturb Levi's training. They kept a distance and greeted each other. A smile, a wave and a shout were all.
Levi successfully completed his morning exercise and returned to the dormitory. At a glance, he could see the figure sitting at the door of the dormitory:
Donald Yu.
He is still wearing a neat gray suit, still matching a shirt and suit. Sitting at the door of the dormitory, he looks like a salesman who has come to sell insurance but has no idea.
The picture has a bit of joy.
"Good morning, Donald." Instead, Levi was the first to say hello.
Donald stood up quickly, "Good morning, Levi."
Unhurried, unhurried and unhurried, Donald still looked very calm and didn't seem to be in a hurry, which made Levi couldn't help but want to make a joke.
"Sorry, you're late. I signed a contract with my agent yesterday." Levi said with a look of regret on his face, "You should have come earlier."
Donald was slightly stunned. He was indeed blinded by Levi's words at first, but as expected of a professional, he immediately regained his composure and calmness, "Even if you sign a contract, you can still tear up the contract and change the agent. I am willing to pay Liquidated damages. What's more, I don't think you have signed a contract."
Levi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, why?"
Donald couldn't read the information from Levi's expression, but he understood Levi and believed in his own judgment, "I believe that after the game yesterday, countless agents came to see you; but you are smart enough and calm enough. I know they are just hyenas joining in the fun."
"Haha, hyena? What about you?" Levi asked curiously.
Donald, "Cheetah. If you don't pay attention, you may see too much, but if you look carefully, the difference is still very obvious."
Levi laughed loudly, not expecting that Donald would actually joke.
Indeed, after the game yesterday, countless agents came to visit Levi, and half a drawer was filled with just business cards, comparable to snowflakes.
Until now, Levi has still not announced whether he will participate in the draft. According to NCAA rules, agents still cannot contact Levi privately; but the point is, if we don't contact him now, it will be too late. One or two are like sharks smelling blood. Usually people swarm up.
hyena?
Although it doesn’t sound good, it’s true. They just see the benefits——
The problem lies here. Li Wei does not think that profit is wrong. Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit, including Donald.
If Donald is selling a dream to Levi here, that's a real lie.
So, they are all here for profit, what is the difference between Donald and other agents?
It should be more than patience and sincerity, right?
The last time the two met, they only had a brief conversation. Donald left a deep impression on Levi, but Levi was not in a hurry to make a decision.
So, what about today?
Levi looked at Donald and said loudly, "Hey, Lao Yu, if I tell you that I have decided to sign with another agent, but now I give you a chance to change my mind, what do you think? Say what?"
Donald, "I'll tell you, Levi, you're making a bad decision."
Today’s third update.
