Chapter 229 Goat Sacrifice to Heaven
“Levi!”
"Levi Levi Levi, at the last moment, Levi still did not make it easy for the New England Patriots' defense. With an incredible performance, he once again overwhelmed the home team's ground defense and killed the game with a touchdown."
"God!"
"The boldest, wildest and most adventurous prophet could not have predicted this. The biggest highlight of the 2017 season opener turned out to be a running back."
"There is no doubt that the No. 23 overall pick of the Kansas City Chiefs announced his emergence with a perfect game, which not only gave the most powerful reply to all doubters, but also proved that the risks taken by Veach and Reid in the draft paid off. , they started the season by defeating the defending champions.”
"Before the start of the season, questions surrounding Levi never stopped. Is he worthy of the third overall pick? Is he worth the Kansas City Chiefs' effort? Is the Kansas City Chiefs making a fool of themselves by selecting two running backs?"
"Can he keep up with professional competition? Can he continue the wonderful performance of the NCAA? Can he prove the competitive ability of Asian players on the football field? Can he withstand the pressure and prove himself?"
"Okay, here's the answer sheet in front of you."
"He ran for 188 yards and three touchdowns."
"And, of course, there was the opening kickoff return ninety-one yards for a touchdown."
"The young No. 23 dominated this game with an unparalleled performance. It can even be said that he single-handedly destroyed the New England Patriots' ground defense and completely turned the game around in the fourth quarter."
"Oh, don't forget, at the end of the third quarter, the defending champion led by six points going into the final battle, but ended up losing to the opponent by fifteen points."
"Hey NFL, look out, Levi's here."
In the live broadcast room, both Michaels and Collinsworth were no exception. They were undoubtedly completely conquered by Levi's stunning performance——
The words of praise are endless.
In a field like the NFL, there are rookies and talents every year, and amazing rookies are everywhere. Let’s not mention Robert Griffin III, who made all the experts shut up before he became a glass man. Super genius; but, a performance of this level?
Michaels thought about it seriously. Although he still needed to check the data, so far, there really was no such character in his memory.
188 yards?
Three touchdowns?
The opening return touchdown, the closing 40-yard drive to kill the suspense of the game, and the ending to rub salt in the wound and tease the opponent like a disco to the grave?
Such a performance is undoubtedly dominant.
Adrian Peterson's first career game was just 103 yards on the ground and a 60-yard touchdown pass.
But now, Levi has directly raised the benchmark for rookies by two levels.
Next, other young players in the 2017 draft will be under pressure; moreover, the defense teams of other teams in the league should also be wary——
Don't underestimate Levi, otherwise, the price may be heavy.
Even the goats have already lost and sacrificed themselves to heaven.
Michaels couldn't help but rub his hands. He thought this season might be interesting.
And what about in the arena?
Levi, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed.
He was also looking forward to the grand spectacle of all the abuse and all the middle fingers.
For away games, the more violent and violent the home fans' curses, the better their performance, which is the best compliment.
It's a pity that the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs are not feuding, and this is the season opener, not a life-or-death battle for a playoff spot. After losing at Gillette Stadium, they completely lost their arrogance.
Choke.
Levi thought that next time he came to Gillette Stadium as a guest, he would have to work harder to really awaken the vicious and cruel curse at Gillette Stadium.
Sure enough, rookies still need to keep working hard, come on!
Just when Levi was looking at the audience and secretly clenching his fists, he turned around and saw No. 12 coming towards him, coming towards him gracefully.
Wait, he remembers his name, he must remember what it is...
"Brady. Tom Brady." Blue No. 12 took the initiative to extend his right hand towards Levi, introducing himself with a smile and gritted teeth. Apparently, reporters had conveyed Levi's "ignorance" to Brady, and even though Brady said he didn't care, he still remembered it.
So, after a face-to-face meeting, Brady gave Levi a positive response. There was an undercurrent of secret competition, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Levi felt no burden. Anyway, it wasn't the first time he offended someone by not remembering his name, and he was sure it wouldn't be the last time.
Levi calmly took Brady's outstretched right hand and smiled, "Goat, nice to meet you, I'm Levi."
A response that was neither humble nor arrogant made Brady slightly startled——
goat?
Neither does it admit, nor does it deny.
Brady, who had seen countless big scenes, was stuck for a moment, but he remained calm and shook Levi's right hand hard.
"Looking forward to meeting you next time."
Who is Brady, a five-time Super Bowl champion, how could he get so angry and yell at each other just because of a loss? He knows better than anyone else that the winner is the one who laughs at the end, and all other games are tempering and tests leading to the championship.
Of course, he hated losing.
Moreover, Brady also admitted that this game would have been lost to Levi, without Levi's explosion in the fourth quarter...but there is no if.
Brady deeply hated this defeat and gave him a slap in the face; but he did not lose his mind or become ferocious, because he knew that he knew Levi and was 100% sure that he would never underestimate the rookie again.
As for the next meeting?
Whether it's a mule or a horse, you can only tell after walking around.
What's more, according to the schedule, if the New England Patriots and Kansas Chiefs want to meet again, it must be in the playoffs this season, otherwise their next confrontation will be three years later.
Brady very, very much hopes to meet Levi again and then personally eliminate Levi from the playoffs. He really can't wait for this day to come, so before then, he hopes to cheer up the Kansas Chiefs.
"Come on," Brady said, looking meaningfully at the rookie in front of him.
Levi didn't know what Brady was thinking, but he could read the fighting spirit and murderous look in Brady's eyes. He looked back with a sincere face, "Come on, let's do it together!"
Brady:? ? ?
Wait, did Levi just look at him with encouraging eyes?
Encouragement? Encouragement from a rookie?
Brady was stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment. Seeing Levi preparing to leave, he remembered his purpose.
"Ah, Levi, the jersey."
Brady pointed to his jersey.
In rugby games, jerseys are rarely exchanged after the game, mainly because the jerseys are wearing armor and are inconvenient to put on and take off; and there is no such tradition in rugby.
But over the years, there are still some, as long as the players are willing.
Brady offered to exchange jerseys because he wanted to remember this rookie; but Levi was stunned——
This is the jersey he wore in the first game and first victory of his career. The collar was torn by the Harrison and Zhong families. It has such a commemorative value. He wanted to give it to his parents as a souvenir.
but……
Well, since the goat has taken the initiative to speak, let's reluctantly grant his wish.
