Chapter 206: Heart burst
"Levi, are the rumors about you being injured true?"
"What do you think of the intensity of competition in professional NFL games?"
"Being on the bench for two consecutive games, do you have any doubts about your career?"
"Do you agree that Hunter is a more suitable starter than you?"
"Do you think you can stay on the roster?"
The preseason has all come to an end. All thirty-two teams are preparing step by step for the start of the season. The fifty-three-person roster has also reached the deadline. Now all kinds of rumors are getting more and more outrageous.
The discussion over the starting battle between the two running backs Levi and Hunter has heated up——
More than just a starting spot.
Imagine if the third-round pick Hunter beats the first-round pick Levi to win the starting spot. This will only further prove the popular view in the league that running backs are too cost-effective and not worth using first-round picks to select. Selecting high-quality and cheap running backs in each round is enough to cope with it. Over time, running backs will be further marginalized and even become a blue-collar position completely.
In particular, the transfer of Levi in this year's draft is at the forefront. Even the Kansas Chiefs have been involuntarily involved in the wave of the times. If Levi cannot start, it seems that it will affect the selection of subsequent young running backs in the draft. The prospect has wide implications.
The problem suddenly became serious.
Times create heroes, and this is such an atmosphere. Regardless of whether Levi wants it or not, he is now burdened with countless burdens, whether they are related to him or not.
Under the collision of various factors, things completely deviated from the track.
There are even rumors that the Kansas Chiefs are very likely to lay off Levi.
Outrageous?
Very outrageous.
But it is precisely because of this that it is even more amazing. If it happens, Levi will also become the first top-three pick in the history of the NFL who cannot enter the 53-man roster for the season, another form of history.
Nailed on the pillar of shame like Ryan Leaf.
Leaf: Is it necessary to whip the corpse every time? Is it really necessary?
Therefore, the media couldn't hold it any longer. Even if Reid issued a media ban, they still came to the Kansas Chiefs' training base one by one, bustling at the door, trying to intercept Levi.
Seeing this, Mahomes, who worked with Levi, was already familiar with the road, and he opened the road in front like a little assistant, which made Levi couldn't help but laugh.
But the two players were not ready to stop and walked all the way towards the door until a sound exploded like thunder.
"Levi, can't you do it?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Levi's face was calm, and he paused slightly but ignored the other party, because he knew that these reporters would do anything to dig out news and create explosive points. If he stopped, it would mean that the reporters succeeded.
But he never expected that Mahomes stopped with a look of astonishment on his face and blocked Levi's way, so that Levi had to stop -
It's better now.
In one second, no, half a second, the reporters swarmed up like zombies.
In the end, the reporter got his way.
Levi looked a little helpless and glanced around the bustling crowd. He immediately locked onto the reporter who had just asked the question and looked over with laser eyes.
Adam-Guterres felt a chill on his spine, and he shivered for a moment. He felt like he was being targeted by a cheetah, and he shuddered. Every cell in his body was screaming "escape", but his body was stiff. In place, unable to move at all.
Then.
Guderesi could see the curve of Levi's mouth rising slightly, "Do you want to try it?"
No one spoke, but he could capture the strong confidence in Levi's understatement, releasing a burst of energy from the inside out, suddenly pressing it tightly on his chest, and his breath couldn't help but be suffocated.
At this time, only by having close contact with Levi can you deeply feel the size difference. Even if reporters crowded around Levi and Mahomes, there was no threat at all, just like a group of sika deer surrounding a Tyrannosaurus Rex. This feeling is normal Of? Guredes was speechless and couldn't speak.
Levi looked around, with a calm and shallow smile on his lips, and a gentle laughter surged deep in his throat, "Or do you want to give it a try? I will be waiting at the training ground at any time."
No.
No no no.
The reporters were silent. One or two, they nodded one after another. They looked down at their thin arms and legs, as well as the soft beer belly underneath. They shook their heads even harder, and even couldn't help but step back a little. The encirclement unexpectedly opened up some space.
Guredes: Not good.
They finally intercepted Levi. They have only created opportunities now in the entire preseason. They cannot let them go, and they must not let them go easily.
So, what to do?
As a senior football reporter for ESPN, Guredes is not intimidated. He has experienced countless storms and waves, and his rich experience has allowed him to stand firm. How could he lose his shit just because of Levi's words?
Guredes had an idea and said, "Levi, Brady said you are not worth mentioning. What do you think?"
Breaking point, there is no doubt that among a series of topics and controversies, Brady is the simplest and most direct, and can never go wrong at any time.
Levi blinked, "Who?"
Huh!
The whole audience took a breath of cold air.
Logically speaking, the reporters should have cheered happily after finally catching the breaking point; but now, because it was so shocking and shocking, the reporters no longer had the mood to gloat, and their eyes were about to pop out.
Silence fell.
For a moment, the reporter's brain shut down and he completely lost the ability to cope.
Even Guredes himself, who raised the topic, stood there as if struck by lightning. Even with all his imagination, he could not have expected Levi's reaction.
Brady:? ? ?
Mahomes almost choked on his own saliva, but he knew Levi. He was a big man in private and could never remember other people's names. Levi had absolutely no malice and no intention to target anyone.
Mahomes quickly bumped into Levi's shoulder, "New England Patriots. No. 12. Quarterback." A series of keywords jumped out continuously.
Levi suddenly realized, "Ah, I know him."
reporter:……
Haha, very good. We also know him. It seems that we finally have something in common.
Levi's face was calm, "I very much hope to meet him and look forward to a wonderful showdown."
Normally, this is just a polite remark, nothing special; but given the context, the flavor of this sentence quietly changes.
Guredes was stunned. He hoped to explode, but he didn't expect to be knocked unconscious by a nuclear bomb. His whole body felt numb from the inside out.
War post!
This is a battle post, no doubt about it.
Although it is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, the media always likes to see the new generation challenging the veterans; but Levi's words did not mean to take Brady seriously, and the light "I know him" seemed to To say that an ordinary player is just like an ordinary player is a provocation that is clear, and the following words also convey a message: Brady, so what?
this……
So exciting!
So, is this considered benevolence and benevolence?
