Chapter 189 Three-Party Confrontation
Hunter held his breath firmly——
They are both running backs, so why is there such a big difference in treatment?
Hunter is the same as Kamara. They have no intention of denying Levi's excellence. There is no problem in the second and third rounds; but they do not think that they are worse than Levi, nor do they think that Levi is worse than Fournette or McCain. Free deserves a higher pick.
In Hunter's view, Levi's outstanding performance in the NCAA is still due to the University of Alabama's unparalleled offensive line, coupled with Shaban's series of tactical deployments around ground offense, creating innate conditions for the success of running backs, casually A running back can also perform well in that system.
And the draft?
In fact, the current draft is also a commercial performance, it depends on who is better at publicity. Although Levi is in the first round and Hunter is in the third round, he does not think this is the strength gap between them.
Hunter had made up his mind.
He's going to prove himself, he's going to beat Levi, he's going to be the starting running back.
Tread. Tap tap tap.
Hunter is mobilizing all the energy in his body.
"one!"
The calf muscles were a little tight, and Hunter noticed it immediately, but with a glance from the corner of his eye, he could see the other two figures who were still stable. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and continued to maintain the frequency.
"two!"
After a moment of stiffness, Hunter had only one thought in his mind, hold on, keep holding on, just hold on a little longer. A powerful energy burst out from his body, and his eyes stared ahead persistently and crazily.
Ho ho ho!
The sparse support at the training ground is cheering, the rookie players are cheering for Levi and Hunter, while the veterans are cheering for Kelsey.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hunter and Levi are showing signs of success. Although there are three other running backs in the Kansas Chiefs team, the decision of the front office to select two running backs in the draft is really obvious. The running back should be born among these two rookies.
Originally, it was generally believed that topical figure Levi should be the first choice, but now it seems that Hunter is sending a signal that he is not ready to give up the competition.
The scene immediately became lively——
Summer training camp is a little more relaxed.
"three!"
Hunter gritted his teeth tightly. His goal was not high. He just wanted to persist for a while longer than Levi. As for the dispute between the old and the new, it was completely out of his scope of consideration. He just held his breath and tried to prove himself.
For a moment, just for a moment, how could he be inferior to that thin and weak bamboo pole?
Ah, Hunter didn't even have time to react. His body tilted and fell out without warning. He stood upright and disappeared from sight in an instant.
His whole right calf was completely stretched, and a spasm of pain suddenly broke out. He could not bend his knee, and the overwhelming pain overwhelmed him.
oh.
A sighing sound came, and it fell on Hunter's eardrums like thunder, and his heart dropped hard.
"Cramp! Quick, cramp!"
The medical staff on site acted quickly and immediately entered the training ground to help. They got busy in an orderly manner and the chaos was immediately under control.
"Four!"
However, Rubin still didn't stop.
Hunter had recovered, and he struggled to return to the training field again, but the medical staff controlled him in time and did not allow him to train again, otherwise he might suffer from injuries even if he was not injured.
It's just dehydration and cramps now, I won't know what's going on later.
Hunter was stunned. He looked at the figure who was still insisting on the training ground. "Grass", he cursed dullly, but still could not vent his frustration. He hammered the grass hard and stood up straight. He lay down and stared blankly at the sky.
"five!"
The sound of the soles of the feet touching the ground is getting smaller and smaller, but the air is getting quieter and quieter, and it can be heard more and more clearly, just like the breeze in the early summer afternoon, rustling among the green shades.
All eyes are focused on the scene.
"Levi VS Kelsey".
Kelce, a tight end, was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs with the 63rd overall pick in the third round of the 2013 draft. His brother Jason-Kelce (Jason-Kelce) is also a professional football player and preceded him. Entered the league two years ago and played for the Philadelphia Eagles as a center. In the first three seasons of his career, Kelsey has been learning and growing. Although he performed well, he did not stand out from the fierce competition in the NFL.
Last season, Kelsey finally had a breakthrough. As a tight end responsible for short passing areas, he scored the first thousand-yard season of his career, with 1,125 yards and four touchdowns. He finally entered the public eye. After catching the ball, He led the league in continuous yards with 634 yards, which also earned him first-team All-American honors for the first time in his career.
It's a pity that they failed to show their best performance in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
This year, Kelsey is also under pressure, and he is also eager to perform better. The reason is very simple. He just completed a five-year, $46 million contract with the team last season. He hopes that he can play value and prove himself. .
Might as well start from the first day of training camp.
Kelsey didn't pay attention to the others and kept focusing on himself. The results of his offseason training were slowly showing. He was not surprised that he persisted until the end, but he was slightly startled when he found the figure who was competing with him in the end——
It's actually him.
Kelsey noticed Levi's performance in the rookie training camp. He knew that Levi was very good, but now that he was really feeling it face to face at close range, his blood boiled and his fighting spirit became high. He couldn't lose to the young people.
"six!"
At this time, Rubin discovered a small surprise.
Kelsey's rhythm actually increased quietly, and he could continue to move even when his physical strength was close to its limit. This was all driven by willpower.
And, what’s even more amazing is that Levi actually followed Kelsey.
"seven!"
Rubin also began to pick up the pace.
"eight!"
Under the scorching sun, hot sweat fell down one by one. The grass under their feet was extra moisturized, but it was also more damaged. It was obvious that Kelsey and Levi were clenching their teeth for the last time. Sprinted.
Even others couldn't help but grimace, it was really hard to imagine the state of Levi and Kelsey.
Levi was insisting.
Competitive sports are like this. When you feel the most difficult, tormented and vulnerable, you are about to collapse, mentally and physically. It is this critical moment that separates greatness and excellence.
The more you think you can no longer hold on, the more you have to bite the bullet.
Sweat was pouring down like rain and steam was rising, but Levi's eyes burst out with murderous intent——
This is the NFL he's looking forward to.
Not to compete with Hunter, nor to compete with Kelsey, but to challenge myself to challenge the limits and challenge the impossibility of a higher level.
On the front foot, Kelsey is picking up speed.
On the back foot, Levi actually picked up speed again.
Stepping on, stepping on, the sound of footsteps became more and more dense. Dantian made a scolding sound in the depth of Dantian.
"Ha! Ha!"
Then, it was Kelsey's turn to catch up with Levi.
Plop. Plop.
Not to mention the players, even Rubin's heart was beating wildly, and the rhythm became faster and faster, until his legs could no longer keep up -
snort.
With a muffled groan, Kelsey fell to the ground.
However, Levi still didn't stop!
The whole place was completely silent, with only the sound of footsteps echoing.
