Chapter 261 Strength opens the way
"Full game, over."
"The final score was '31:10'. The Kansas Chiefs easily defeated the Los Angeles Chargers and retired from the away game, continuing their undefeated season."
"Levi, who was at the center of the topic storm, once again delivered a perfect answer. He held the ball 17 times, advanced 185 yards on the ground, and scored two touchdowns."
"Replying the media's doubts with an absolutely strong attitude, and using practical actions to prove that all the attacks in the preseason were false. Not only can he adapt to the intensity of professional competitions, but he has also performed at a high level for three consecutive games. There is no doubt that he is a rookie this year. The best player there.”
"Actually, it's not just rookies."
"Currently, Levi is leading the league's ground yards and touchdowns rankings, leading a list of superstars as a rookie."
"After this game, there is not much suspense in the September selection. After being elected as the American League's best offensive player as a rookie in the first week and sweeping the league's best rookie list in the past three weeks, Levi was elected as the league's best rookie in September. The best rookie is the result of everyone’s expectations.”
"To be precise, we should set our sights higher and further and talk about the past and the present."
"In three games, he advanced 509 yards on the ground and scored seven touchdowns. These two statistics may be performances that countless running backs cannot complete in sixteen games a season; but Levi only completed it in three games. With this performance, he also surpassed Adrian Peterson and set a series of records, becoming the most outstanding rookie in the first three games in NFL history."
"Since the turn of the millennium, Peterson's data in the first three games as a rookie are generally considered unsurpassable. He had 271 yards on the ground and 160 yards receiving, for a total of 431 yards. Such performance is believed to be dominant, and the fact is that It proves that Peterson is indeed qualified to compete for the best in history.”
"However."
"Levi is now setting a benchmark that cannot be surpassed. Not only rookie running backs, but also wide receivers, tight ends, and even a small number of quarterbacks, they may not be able to perform in the first three games of their rookie season. A performance like this redefines the word 'dominance'."
"This is not only the history record of the Kansas Chiefs, but also the history record of the entire league. We may need to pay attention to it when we use 'dominance' in the future."
"Rookie."
"To this day, the league still calls Levi a 'rookie.' Originally, this nickname should have been a humiliation, but now it has become a footnote to witness a miracle."
"Every time people call Levi a 'rookie,' it further proves that Levi's performance so far is incredible."
"We are all witnesses."
"When the media questioned Levi's ability over and over again, when public opinion was not optimistic about Levi's prospects again and again, under overwhelming pressure, this was Levi's response."
"I have no way of knowing for the time being whether Levi is absent from training or whether he is spending too much time and alcohol, but at least from now on, even if there is no training, there will be no impact."
"So, who's the joke now?"
Bart: Stop fighting. Your cheeks are already swollen like pig heads.
One thing to say, they did not expect the Los Angeles Chargers to be transformed overnight and perform at the top level, but at least quarterback Rivers should not have his hips stretched like this; but they never expected that the Kansas City Chiefs would lose their weight in the first quarter of the game. Has completely destroyed the Los Angeles Chargers.
Before halftime ended, fans at home began to leave one after another. The first season before moving to Los Angeles was particularly difficult for the Lightning.
Bart is really desperate.
However, at the end of the game, the Kansas City Chiefs players seemed a little unmotivated and did not celebrate. They went to the hospital immediately——
Safety Eric Berry ruptured his Achilles tendon.
In the first quarter of the game, during a non-contact defense, Berry fell to the ground holding his ankles when his feet landed, severely grabbing Levi's heart.
Although they all know that competitive sports are often accompanied by injuries; and Lilith's test results last week sent a signal in advance, when this scene actually happened, it was still difficult to watch directly.
When Berry left the court, this tough guy who had never been knocked down after two serious injuries had red eyes, looked up at the sky, tried his best to control himself, but still shed tears. Berry also knows that his body cannot withstand any more injuries. Perhaps this injury will announce the countdown to his career in advance; and so far, Berry has been struggling in the league for many years, but still has not been able to stand on the Super League. Showed itself on the bowl stage.
Sad. lonely. sad.
No one knows what is waiting for Berry ahead, including Levi who has returned from time travel.
It is precisely because of this that the Kansas Chiefs inspired their fighting spirit and completely destroyed the Los Angeles Chargers in the first quarter.
After the game, the Kansas City Chiefs had no time to celebrate the victory. He rushed to the hospital to visit Berry, and then received a cruel news:
Season reimbursement.
It was obviously Berry who was injured, but when his teammates showed up, it was Berry who comforted these young people and joked like a big brother.
"This is bad. Our second-line defense is going to be beaten to pieces. Can you do it?"
"How about you guys hold on, I'll try to see if I can come back to help out in the playoffs?"
The atmosphere in the ward was a little tense, but Berry was trying to liven up the atmosphere and kept joking.
Until Reid came in to chase people away and kicked all the players out.
Levi also went out, and then he realized that he had completely forgotten. After the game, a Kansas Chiefs fan living in Los Angeles threw a signed support scarf, hoping that Levi could give it to Berry and looking forward to Berry's speedy recovery. , continues to represent the Chiefs.
After talking to Reed, Levi left and returned.
Pushing open the ward door, Levi saw Berry staring blankly out of the window.
There is no expression, no sadness, no anger, no disappointment, just calmness, but that calmness reveals a kind of lonely bitterness.
Involuntarily, Li Wei was also stunned——
Berry's injury was his Achilles tendon, his Achilles' heel.
Even the layman knows that rehabilitation and recovery are difficult and almost impossible tasks.
Levi tried to comfort Berry, but found that no words were enough to express his inner emotions. Those chicken soups for the soul were more like a joke in the face of real pain and the long unknown. Even if he had been a human being for two lifetimes, Levi would not Have the answers to all your questions.
Instead, it was Berry who noticed Levi first. He quickly collected his emotions and smiled again, "Hey, rookie."
Levi took a deep breath and handed over the support scarf.
Levi's footsteps stood at the end of the bed, wanting to leave but unable to move.
Berry understood and could tell at a glance, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This isn't the first time this has happened. I've long been used to it."
Levi knew that this was not the case, but what should he say?
"The doctor said, how long will it take to recover?" Levi asked.
Berry was stunned and subconsciously said, "At least five months."
Levi was a little embarrassed, "Ah, it's a pity. If I try harder, I might be able to catch up with the Super Bowl."
