Chapter 202 A little show of skill
"He's here, he's there, he's everywhere, he's the Edgewalker, Levi Levi Levi!"
The whole place was boiling and hovering for a long time.
In the team's war room above Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas Chiefs manager Veach quietly watched the scene in front of him, with his hands folded on his chest and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Not worried, not proud, Vicki just remembered everything that happened on the morning of the draft.
He still remembered that Reed looked at Levi on the video tape on the TV screen, repeated it over and over again, and then told him in a firm tone:
Levi may be a "once-in-a-decade" existence, and Levi may become the team leader.
He hesitated and hesitated, but in the end, he still chose to believe Reed, and he still chose to take the risk and gamble.
Now it seems that Levi's Chinese label and the entire Asian market behind him are not that important, because even without these additional factors, Levi is still worthy.
In this year's draft, he was appointed at a critical moment. He served as a team manager for the first time and was in charge of the draft for the first time. He may have made a series of decisions that changed his career and even the future map of the league. It just happened. He didn't even Realize how it happens:
A little exciting.
But, he likes it. He finally understood that some people said that competitive sports is like an addiction to tobacco and alcohol. In fact, it is also an addiction that makes people unable to stop.
Imagine how many eyes within and outside the entire alliance are focused on Levi, and what thoughts those eyes hold——
fan. Narrator. scout. coach. Team manager. Rugby expert.
Wait, wait.
Of course, there are opponents.
Such as Solomon Thomas.
Thomas fell to the ground like a teddy bear, his shoulders slumped, his eyes empty, he couldn't even feel the shame, and his mind was full of confusion.
He couldn't figure out how all that happened just now. He had obviously caught Levi's intention and completed the tackle accurately. How could he be defeated when he had an overall advantage from physique to weight to strength? Levi gets rid of the breakthrough?
He couldn't understand.
"Solomon...Solomon!"
The sound of calling, from far to near, pulled Thomas into reality, and then he came back to his senses. The special service team was preparing to appear, and they had to leave.
Confused and confused, Thomas left the court with his teammates, took off his helmet and blew in the air, and his brain finally cooled down.
"Grass!"
Thomas cursed fiercely. Not only was he not discouraged, but he cheered himself up again. He crossed the court and looked at the chatting and laughing No. 23 on the opposite side. He gritted his teeth and was eager to tackle that guy hard as never before.
However, Thomas' wish may not be realized, at least today.
When the Kansas Chiefs offensive team and the San Francisco 49ers defensive team came on stage again, the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Sally finally seized an opportunity to see through Reid's offensive tactics and accurately intercept the Chiefs' offense.
Ground running ball.
Because the tactic was seen through, Levi was caught before he could start, and Thomas once again showed his determination——
Another pocket break.
If you look purely at the performance of getting rid of the offensive line and cutting into the pocket, Thomas has proven himself; but unfortunately, he has never been able to turn the breakthrough into actual effective passing pressure or even tackles.
This time, it's the opportunity. Thomas formed a siege and covered him, and bent his knees to lower his center of gravity, severely cutting off the path, causing Levi to helplessly hit the wall head-on.
If there are no accidents, this is a perfectly successful ground defense.
But the accident still happened.
Levi didn't dodge or flinch, he just charged head-on, like a Spanish bullfight, lowering his center of gravity, using his helmet as his horns, and slammed into Thomas.
The ferocious collision between helmet and helmet caused a whirlwind of turbulence. Thomas did not expect Levi to have such power——
What about the mentioned strength shortcomings? What if you say you're not good at confrontation?
Thomas was caught off guard and fell flat on his back.
Levi, a frontal breakthrough.
Of course, Levi also paid the price. His center of gravity was unbalanced and his strength was exhausted. After breaking through Thomas, his steps were messy and he was unable to continue to advance too far. He fell into the circle of linebackers and fell to the ground helplessly when encountering a flank.
Advance, only five yards.
but!
So tough, so iron-blooded, so rough, he overturned Thomas head-on, fully demonstrating the charm of football power confrontation and physical collision, and still ignited the entire Arrowhead Stadium. In the end, the Kansas Chiefs scored again in an offense that lasted five minutes and thirty-seven seconds. Array.
At this time, Thomas shut himself down:
He can't tackle, he can't hit, he can't intercept, he can't do anything.
Thomas felt like a wooden stake tool, specially responsible for being beaten. He had endured so much impact and pain but received no reward. He was completely reduced to the background, simply lighting himself up and illuminating others.
Especially Levi.
So the next time he saw Levi, Thomas himself hesitated for a brief moment unexpectedly. It wasn't because he was afraid or confused, because he didn't know how to stop Levi.
result?
The result was that Levi passed Thomas with a move similar to the Marseille spin in football, and then drove forward with the ball for 23 yards. The San Francisco 49ers' second-line defense used a three-person double-team to stop Levi and prevent Levi from doing it again. A sword seals the throat and goes directly into the end zone.
Actually!
After another breakthrough, and a head-on confrontation, Thomas had self-doubt for the first time: Am I really that easy to push down?
It is unimaginable that the one-on-one duel between Thomas and Levi ended in a complete defeat. Levi was not even able to compete, and Levi completely crushed Thomas.
So much so that the studio once again automatically filtered Thomas. Just like the draft, it was clear that Thomas was the worst representative, but in the end, the news did not even pay attention to it, and it was a desolate scene of "no such person was found."
For a moment, Thomas was not sure whether he wanted to complain about himself in the live broadcast room or not.
Fortunately, Levi did not stay on the court for too long. He only played one game, then took off his helmet and armor, sat on the sidelines, talked and laughed with his teammates, and entered rest and vacation mode.
There was a touch of relaxation in his eyebrows and expression, and he even didn't bother to step on Thomas. His whole body exuded a sense of relaxation like going out for a picnic with his friends, and he didn't feel the trouble of the NFL's professional level intensity at all.
But Thomas couldn't care less about gritting his teeth at this time.
It was obvious that the San Francisco 49ers breathed a sigh of relief. This situation of Levi was completely different from what they expected. The breakthrough in speed and strength was overwhelming, but they couldn't tell clearly for a while:
It was Levi who was too strong. Or is Thomas too weak?
Thomas:? ? ?
When he noticed that there were signals hidden in the eyes of his teammates such as "Is it really the difference between a third-round pick and a first-round pick?", he was bitter and speechless, but when he looked at Levi, who was sitting on the sidelines with a relaxed face, he felt Or swallow all the excuses and sit in the corner, drawing circles and cursing Levi——
That guy, go to hell, die, die.
