Chapter 208 The future is coming
People are famous, and there are many right and wrong.
In fact, the media and the public know that football is a team sport, and neither Brady nor Levi can win by relying on them alone. In the end, we still need to pay attention to the New England Patriots and the Kansas Chiefs. A battle between two teams.
But that’s what topical gimmicks are—
One is a goat candidate. He has already carried countless rays of light before he retired. He has dominated the league for more than ten years, written countless miracles and left countless legends.
One is an ignorant rookie who pops out from the cracks in the stone to kill everyone. He shines like a shooting star and boldly becomes a disruptor.
People love to watch this kind of showdown.
Moreover, if you study carefully, the trajectories of the two players are indeed worth pondering.
When Brady entered the league with the 199th pick in the sixth round, no one was optimistic about his career; while Levi entered the public eye and rose to the top in just one year. Its existence also carries numerous doubts.
On the one hand, the two men couldn't be more different.
On the one hand, the two people echo each other.
The discussion was so hot that it naturally couldn’t stop.
What's more, the New England Patriots and the Kansas Chiefs were the first and second seeds in the American League last season. Such a strong matchup itself is full of topics. No one should miss this season opener.
Who can make a good start to the season?
The bustling discussion burst out with incredible energy. This is probably the most lively and craziest season opening in recent seasons. Even the Chinese mainland on the other side of the Pacific is paying attention.
NFL, stay tuned.
But Levi, who was in the eye of the storm of all topics, seemed particularly calm.
He is saying goodbye to those players who have not been able to make the fifty-three-man roster. Although they all know that this is the cruelty of professional competitions, they have spent the past four months living together day and night, going in and out together, sweating together and burning blood. They are all here. Working hard towards the same goal, in the end we had to part ways.
Looking at these figures, Levi couldn't help but think of his college friends, Jacobs who left the field injured in the National Championship Game, Clark who decided to give up the path of professional players after the season, and other teammates who entered the NFL through the draft. Unconsciously, they were scattered at the end of the world.
Therefore, he said goodbye to these teammates one by one. Although he missed this opportunity, he still looked forward to meeting in the future. Even if he could not play side by side as teammates, he sincerely hoped that they could find a place in other teams. The identity of the opponent is contested.
Don't give up faith.
"Levi?"
Mahomes noticed Levi's figure and called out.
"You're not upset because of that guy's attitude, are you?"
Mahomes was talking about Hunter.
When Reid announced that Levi would be the starting running back, Hunter's expression was obviously not good, he was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his whole body exuded the aura of being kept away from strangers.
Although Hunter didn't say much, anyone with eyes in the team could feel it. Because of the media's speculation, Hunter also ignited hope and truly believed that he had won the trust of the coaching staff and could become the team's starter. Completely reverse the frustration of the draft.
However, the wrong payment was made after all.
Levi looked at Mahomes and blinked, "Who?"
Mahomes choked and couldn't help laughing, shaking his head in denial, "No, it's not important."
Hunter: Arrow in the back.
Levi said, "Oh," and then looked ahead again, "Have you seen the sunset in Kansas City at seven o'clock in the afternoon?"
Mahomes blinked, "Is this in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning against Kobe Bryant?" "Haha." Levi laughed happily, looking at the blazing sunset in front of him, people always thought I hope for the rising sun, because the sunrise often represents a new beginning; but the sunset also has its own magnificence and magnificence, it represents precipitation and accumulation, as well as harvest and summary——
Maybe, parting will come eventually, and they will all embark on their own journey of life; but at least they know that on the narrow path of chasing their dreams, they are not walking alone, there is a group of friends who are also insisting on fighting in the darkness. Run wildly, use a spark to drive away loneliness and fear, and move forward side by side.
Parting is the end, but it is also the beginning. They should look forward to the next reunion.
Involuntarily, Mahomes also followed Levi's gaze and looked at the stadium shrouded in orange halo in front of him. The hazy halo suspended above the green grass and outlined a fog, spreading out in his field of vision in a devastating and gorgeous way.
"Levi?"
"Um?"
"You think, one day in the future, will we be able to stand on the stage of the Super Bowl?"
Unlike Levi, Mahomes is a substitute, and the team's starting quarterback is still Smith.
This is also normal, because quarterbacks need to learn. The league has data to prove that with the accumulation of experience and age, the performance of quarterbacks will show an upward curve, including top quarterbacks such as Manning and Brady. Therefore, the rookie quarterback needs time and space to grow, and Reid asked Mahomes to learn behind Smith.
They all understand the logic, but the actual feeling is another matter.
Mahomes and Levi entered the league together, and both were first-round picks. Although Mahomes did not have as much pressure as Levi, the other two first-round picks, quarterbacks Watson and Trubisky, both Already assuming the starting role, Mahomes naturally and inevitably feels the pinch.
Levi was a little surprised. Mahomes is always laughing and joking, but obviously, he also has his own worries, "Don't you have confidence?"
Mahomes opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that had reached his lips. Although he did not answer, Levi already knew the answer.
Levi thought for a while and did not answer seriously, but made a joke, "So, are you going to perform on stage during the halftime show? This is indeed a bit difficult. If you had a choice, would you choose Rihanna or Taylor- Taylor-Swift?”
Mahomes was stunned and said, "Beyonce."
Levi was shocked, "I didn't expect you to be such a Sherlock Holmes, oh ho, I'm going to tell Brittany!"
Mahomes panicked and waved his hands repeatedly, calling, "Levi, Levi!"
"Haha." Levi couldn't help laughing heartily.
At this time, Mahomes realized that he had been fooled. He spread his hands and looked up at the sky and lamented, "Why don't you learn a lesson? You are fooled every time. Every time, Patrick, wake up."
That look made Levi smile even brighter.
With this interruption, the atmosphere became noticeably more relaxed.
Then Levi responded with, "We're going to the Super Bowl."
Mahomes froze.
"Sherlock, we will go to the Super Bowl, we will stand on the highest stage of football, show ourselves to the fullest, pick the limits as much as we can, with blood boiling and passion. We will have exciting victories and we will also face bitter defeats. But in the end, we will stand on that stage and show ourselves without reservation.”
"Without regret."
"Whether we win or lose, we will turn around and leave the field with our heads held high and tell everyone openly that we have tried our best and have no regrets."
"I won't say that we will definitely reach the championship, but I will say that we will not give up and we will fight to the end. The future that belongs to us has just begun now."
The setting sun filled the sky, venting all the way down like a halo waterfall. The world roared, and the thrilling beauty boiled in the blood.
