Chapter 252 Ready to make a move
Nothing unusual.
Lilith's words were very neutral, trying to avoid revealing any personal opinions; but Levi could still taste the surprise in her words——
Now it seems that it should be the credit of the card that reduces the negative effects of injuries.
10% has such an effect, which makes Levi even more looking forward to the effect after a comprehensive upgrade.
However, this is a secret of the body, and Levi has no intention of going to Area 51 to find out, whether as a guest or as a guinea pig.
On the surface, Levi remained silent, "So, the power of youth?"
Upon hearing this, Lilith knew that Levi was joking with a little ridicule, but Lilith also believed that this was the most reasonable explanation.
At least, judging from the test data so far, there is nothing abnormal.
Maybe Reed is right——
The Kansas Chiefs have indeed discovered a once-in-a-decade talent, Levi is a treasure, and there are more surprises waiting to be discovered, which may even break people's prejudices against running backs in the future.
but……
Lilith looked at Levi quietly, with a calm face, "I hope you are not hinting at anything."
If not, it's best; but if there is, Lilith won't be embarrassed, the only one who will be embarrassed is the one who speaks.
Youth, hormones, restlessness.
Levi gently raised his chin, "Ah, I was discovered."
Admitted it... actually admitted it like this... Moreover, there was no embarrassment at all, and that frank and frank look caught Lilith off guard again.
Immediately afterwards, Levi's eyes fell on Lilith's face, "I didn't expect that you actually heard it."
Lilith was stunned for a moment and immediately realized Levi's teasing. Her cheeks rarely felt slightly hot, but she still held her ground, "Have I told you before? My father has raised me as a boy since I was a child. How could I not listen?" come out?"
But what Lilith never expected was that Levi nodded gently and said, "Actually, I know."
Lilith:?
She was completely caught off guard. Levi's reaction was always unexpected and unpredictable. What happened to this man?
Levi continued, "Is Jenny okay?"
Lilith, "What?"
Levi made a gesture of wiping his tears, and then said with a smile, "I don't mind teaching a girl a lesson."
The Old Oak Tavern!
That was the first time Levi and Lilith met, and Jenny was the black-haired girl.
Half a year has passed since the two met at the Kansas City Chiefs, but Levi has never taken the initiative to mention the Old Oak Tavern, maintaining a completely professional and business-like attitude, keeping his distance tacitly without the need for communication, so that Lily Si completely forgot about it.
Until now.
Without warning, Li Wei mentioned it again. Lilith did not show the expected vigilance and rejection. Instead, she showed a little helplessness because she thought of her friend.
"Jenny...it's still Jenny, she's back on the dating market."
Levi nodded slightly, "At least he didn't go back to find Peter again."
Lilith was stunned for a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised slightly, and then nodded, "Yes, at least she didn't go back to find that guy again."
Levi, "Maybe he also realized that if he came back again, he might lose his arms and legs."
This is obviously teasing Lilith.
Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately locked onto Levi.
Levi raised his hands to declare peace, "Thank you for your work. I should go to the post-game press conference. God, I don't want to be fined by the league."
As she spoke, Lilith backed away. She didn't have time to speak, and just watched Levi leave. Inadvertently, the lines on her cold face relaxed slightly, so that when Kelsey appeared and saw this scene, she couldn't help but slow down her steps. Slowly, he turned around to look at him suspiciously.
He looked like he had seen a ghost. Lilith noticed, and her expression became serious again, "Travis, please come over to the treadmill and put on the equipment."
…
At the post-match press conference, there was no doubt that Levi once again became the focus of attention.
Compared with the first week of competition, Smith's performance was still outstanding, but not as eye-catching. Levi, who once again played a turning point in the game, naturally attracted more attention. Media reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world couldn't wait to fan the flames——
"Brady or Wentz, which player would you rather choose as your opponent?"
Levi did not hear the passionate opening mic of ESPN commentator Pash, and had no way of knowing the reporters' wishful thinking:
After "Rookie VS Goat", the league's attention has now turned to "2017 No. 3 overall pick VS 2016 No. 2 pick" The new generation's duel, after all, the young are better than the old, and the future still belongs to the young.
Despite this, Levi is still able to capture the hidden traps in reporters’ words.
"Philip-Rivers." Levi gave a brand new answer unconventionally.
reporter:?
Rivers:?
Levi explained, "The standard answer should be myself. The eternal biggest opponent of every professional athlete is himself. We must defeat ourselves and surpass ourselves to achieve breakthroughs. But obviously, this is not an Oprah talk show, so, Let’s get down to earth.”
"The only thing I have to focus on now is the next opponent."
Philip Rivers, the quarterback of the Los Angeles Chargers, is also known as the troika of the 2004 draft along with Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Eli Manning of the New York Giants. They are also currently the league's top quarterbacks behind only the four elite quarterbacks.
The media reporters had dug a trap, but Levi was not going to play their game and gave an alternative but impeccable answer.
Reporter, failed again.
Of course, the media will still not let Levi off easily. Just look at the headlines on social networks -
"Levi: Brady and Wentz are things of the past."
"Levi is not prepared to pay attention to his defeated generals, and has turned his attention to the future."
Easily, Levi was pushed against Brady and Wentz, and their fans and supporters couldn't wait to attack Levi.
Also, “Levi: I think Rivers is better than Brady.”
Rivers: I didn't offend you!
The innocent Rivers was also dragged into the water and inexplicably became the target of the New England Patriots fans to vent their anger. He was also unable to explain himself.
This once again proves the hard truth that there are many popular people right and wrong.
However.
These news could not affect Levi. After the press conference, he had put all the noise behind him and prepared for the next game.
After the game, all the work was completed. When Levi opened the locker again and took out his mobile phone, he found five missed calls, which was quite surprising.
All four are unknown phone numbers, but they are consistent with the previous scam phone number.
One is Donald Yu.
Levi left the locker room with his cell phone and called Mahomes. The two were about to drive home and called Donald back.
After just waiting for a while, the call was connected.
"Hey Donald, sorry, the phone was in the locker the whole time, nothing urgent?"
Donald still looked unhurried, "It's not urgent. If it is really urgent, I will naturally have a way to contact you as soon as possible."
"So, did you just get a call from someone claiming to be LeBron James?"
