Chapter 209 Professional Debut
“I’m heading to Boston, wow!”
“I’m sailing toward Boston, wow!”
A billowing heat wave rushed towards our face, and the air was almost on fire. They sang in unison and twisted into a rope, bursting out with amazing energy, evolving into waves of air, shaking the whole world violently.
On September 7, 2017, the new NFL season officially kicked off.
Today, there is only one game, the season opener, where the defending champion New England Patriots will face the challenge of the Kansas City Chiefs at home.
Gillette Stadium, located in Fox Castle, Massachusetts, is one of the league's most feared devil's stadiums. Every year after November, cold winds, blizzards, and low temperatures will make Fox Castle covered in snow, and the open-air Gillette Stadium It will become a nightmare for every visiting team.
Now, it is still September, late summer and early autumn, and the vast sky and romantic red leaves of Fox Castle do not seem so ferocious. However, New England Patriots fans still provide the highest treatment to let guests feel the power of the "devil's home court".
The game was already filled with smoke before it even started.
There is no doubt that the New England Patriots are the most successful and brilliant team in the NFL in the 21st century. The perfect combination of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady established a dynasty since before 2000. From the era of zero championships to winning five Super Bowl championship trophies in one fell swoop, the Super Bowl last season completed an epic reversal to reach the top of the league, further defending its status as the strongest player in the new century——
Now, still at its peak.
This year, the New England Patriots will strive to become the first team to defend the title in ten years. The last time they accomplished such a feat was the New England Patriots, who won two consecutive championships in the 2003 and 2004 seasons. But after that, No team can defend the title again.
Fox Castle is ready.
At the beginning, the fans sang the team's unofficial cheering song, "I'm-shipping-up-to-Boston", uniformly and with great momentum, sending out a signal with united efforts and aiming for the championship. .
In fact, the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs are not rivals. The American League West and the American League East meet once every three years. That's all. There is no settled hatred between them.
Of course, in the 2014 season, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New England Patriots "41:14". This was a victory or a loss, but the New England Patriots didn't take it to heart at all. It was just an ordinary regular season game, and the win or loss had no impact. A playoff spot is not worth mentioning.
However, the Kansas Chiefs had different ideas. In the 2015 playoffs, they finally swept the Houston Texans and broke their long playoff winless record. However, they lost to the New England Patriots in the next game "20:27" and ended in second place. Round, the playoff curse once again grabbed hold of the throat.
Right now, the Kansas Chiefs need a win——
Not only is it a good start to the new season, but it is also revenge for that defeat.
Apparently, New England Patriots fans are not sold on this idea.
Bang!
The moment Levi came on the stage, the fans on both sides of the tunnel were beating the walls frantically, and the muffled sound came down like a storm, and instantly turned into a roar, getting denser and denser. The more ferocious.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
“Rookie!”
"Porphyrin!"
"Rookie, your legs are weak!"
"Haha, don't be afraid, we will take good care of you."
"To show you what real football is."
"You better come on stage, you weak-footed shrimp, and stop hiding behind the fat man and doing embroidery."
Twisted, ferocious, cruel.
Just like Abi Hell, monsters and monsters appeared on stage, showing Levi the brutality of the away game. The smoke in the air seemed to have a faint smell of blood.
Gillette Stadium can only accommodate 65,000 people, and its capacity is limited. In front of Bryant-Denny Stadium, it is only a medium-sized stadium at most; but the toughness, madness, and passion of professional events are even higher. It makes the cheering and support in the preseason seem childish, and it deeply makes people realize that professional and non-professional are different after all.
Not to mention a rookie like Levi, even a veteran like Kelsey can feel the dull pain in his eardrums, and the whole momentum is indeed different——
It’s especially popular this year.
It's all Roger Goodell's fault. This offseason operation completely angered the New England Patriots fans, and the hatred level was directly filled up. Obviously they were dissatisfied that Levi, a rookie, had no idea how to challenge the king of the professional league.
dare!
Now, all the swords, guns and sticks were pointed at Li Wei alone.
Kelsey also had a headache, and couldn't help but worry about looking for Levi in the crowd. Then, he saw Levi looking up at the faces on both sides of the passage with a curious face, looking carefully at the faces on both sides of the passage with a smile.
Kelsey:?
What is Levi looking at?
The next second, Kelsey saw Levi taking a deep breath. The intoxicated expression on his face made Kelsey stunned and couldn't help but shudder.
"What do you smell?" Kelsey couldn't help but ask.
Levi, "The Smell of Blood."
Kelsey: Pervert.
Seeing the astonished expression on Kelsey's face, Levi couldn't help laughing, patted Kelsey on the shoulder, and followed his teammates into the court.
This is the professional arena——
nervous?
A little bit, Levi also admitted that the NFL and the NCAA are still different; moreover, the reasons why he continues to choose football now are also different.
But what's more is excitement and excitement, an indescribable excitement, the blood is boiling in the body, and I can't wait to get ready to go on stage.
Fear?
No, no, no, why should he be afraid? On the contrary, he should be happy.
When a player steps onto the road, the best compliment he can get is the curses, trash and middle fingers that fly all over the field.
Now, it couldn't be happier to be treated like this before his career has even begun. It's time to see if there's more energy left at Gillette Stadium. He can't wait to see what's going on at the Devils' home court. Powerful.
How about making the storm stronger?
At this moment——
ah!
The shouts and shouts that were bustling and cursing Levi a second ago all disappeared.
The next second it turned into uniform cheers, and the cheers continued to rise.
Tom Brady appears.
He is worthy of being the number one player in the league, and here and now he is at his home court, so the treatment is even more different. The entire Gillette Stadium audience stood up and welcomed the defending champion with the most solemn and enthusiastic attitude.
Brady, on the other hand, was calm and composed, trotting into the court unhurriedly and waving gently, as if walking in his own backyard, entering the court with ease.
At the scene, the dark blue and ivory white jerseys turned into a vast ocean, roaring and agitating continuously. The game had not even started and it had completely suppressed the guests from afar, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Not only the players, but also the commentators in the live broadcast room can feel their hearts beating wildly, because of the opening of the new season and because of witnessing history.
In the VIP seats, league president Goodell appeared and quietly looked at the turmoil in front of him. Regardless of whether people liked it or acknowledged it, but——
History is happening.
The road has been paved, and the next step is left to competitive sports itself. Whether the rookie overthrows the goat, or the goat defeats the rookie, the alliance will be the winner anyway.
