Chapter 284 is hard to swallow
Finally!
Bart finally admitted his mistake and acknowledged Levi's excellence in the nationally broadcast "Inside the League", which dropped a heavy blow for the entire professional league.
On the one hand, because it is not easy for any adult to bow his head and admit his mistakes, let alone a professional commentator who can face mistakes calmly in his own professional and authoritative field, it is even more difficult to accept weakness.
Difficult, Bart is really difficult.
But does he have a choice?
No.
If he continues to be stubborn, all he will lose in the end is his authority. In the past six weeks, Levi's various operations were like a slap on his cheek with precision, and the sound of the slap was comparable to a symphony. There is no point in continuing to be tough-talking and being stubborn——
On the contrary, you may become a clown.
Desperate, angry, but helpless.
Unintentionally, this also became a classic moment of the season for "Inside the League", and the instant ratings actually soared a little.
Moreover, the video, GIFs and screenshots of Bart's subsequent confession were widely circulated as memes on social networks.
Obviously, people are everywhere, not just in the studio.
On the other hand, it’s because of the recognition this move represents.
In the past period of time, Bart has quietly become the flagship figure of "Levi Hei". He is like a breath of fresh air among the unanimous pursuit of the league. This has also won him the support of a large number of netizens, and he has climbed to the top of his career. At the new peak, a small "Levi Black" group was formed around Bart as the core, refusing to "complicit" with the alliance.
Now, the flag is down.
The Internet trolls were in chaos and wailing all over the place. They were suddenly trapped in a leaderless situation. In an instant, they became like birds and beasts, and it seemed that they would never be the same again.
There is no doubt that this is a landmark turn, which means that the doubts and controversies that have hung over Levi's head since the draft have all come to an end. Whether he likes it or agrees with it or not, Levi is already in his professional career. The alliance found its footing and successfully earned its place.
Everything was just as Donald Yu expected:
Rookie. running back. Chinese.
At a glance, these labels all seem to be negative and biased; however, now, they have all evolved into footnotes to legends.
In the conference room of Nike's West Coast headquarters building, employees are also watching the live broadcast of the game. They are cheering and celebrating, high-fiving and hugging. The faces are full of excitement and excitement, and the billowing heat waves are exploding simultaneously, which is no less than Arrowhead Field and Old Oak Tavern.
In the crowd, Edwards had a calm face and walked calmly among the crowd, straightening his back slightly, but never lost his temper and clenched his fists in celebration. Instead, he put on a posture of "I have expected this scene a long time ago" and had a plan in mind. Taking full control of the situation, he was bathed in the praise of the audience.
Since signing with Levi last week, Edwards has been under tremendous pressure, like walking on a tightrope, every step of the way, and the situation is very difficult.
However, in just one week, first the jersey market was booming, and then the countdown beat the Pittsburgh Steelers to continue their undefeated streak. Levi once again proved himself, and the entire situation was completely different.
Just like Levi's situation, all those doubting voices disappeared.
It can be guessed that Adidas and Under Armor should be beating their chests. They were once infinitely close to Levi and the opportunity to change history; but this is reality. Nike once again showed its foresight, seized the opportunity with courage and courage, and was the first to take advantage.
Moreover, it has just set sail now.
Edwards: Sorry, Levi doesn't belong to you.
"Levi!"
"Levi!" The same name was shouted from the TV screens inside and outside Arrowhead Stadium and the Nike offices, and champagne was raised high to celebrate the victory moment.
However, in the same space, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the flames of hell, burning like Bart.
For the Pittsburgh Steelers, this must be a tough loss to swallow -
They controlled the whole game, they were completely in control, victory was already within their grasp, they just needed to close their fingertips at the end.
As a result, I missed it.
Actually!
In such a stalemate duel, details determine the outcome, and any mistake may be the key to reversing the situation, but they made too many mistakes at the last moment.
In the Pittsburgh Steelers' last offense, if Brown could have gained some more yards on that catch, if Bell could have been more bold in running the ball, as long as they got another first down, the Kansas Chiefs offense would not have There is no further opportunity to appear.
As for the Pittsburgh Steelers' final defense, from interpretation of tactics to confrontation layout to on-the-spot reaction and finally to head-to-head confrontation, as long as any link is better, the ending may be different; but they did not, Hayward, Watt , Mitchell, and Hilton made mistakes one after another.
then.
"19:24".
Le'Veon Bell looked up at the big screen above Arrowhead Stadium. The bright score was so dazzling that it was even more dazzling than the huge red wave boiling in the audience.
In the years since he entered the league, Bell has experienced countless defeats, including bitterness, pain and despair. He is now much calmer, but this defeat——
Still tough.
Not only Bell, but other Pittsburgh Steelers players also had difficulty swallowing this loss.
At a glance, Bell could detect the tension between Brown and Roethlisberger. Although they didn't show it, the two players were the best in the locker room. They had personalities, edges, and tempers. If they could win, , then all conflicts are not a problem, but once it fails, it will still be such a painful defeat...
Many eyes fell on Bell, hoping that Bell could relieve the atmosphere.
But Bale wasn't interested.
He is just a "little" running back. He does the most tiring work and gets a measly salary. Last year during the contract year, he demonstrated his value at a top level and hopes to win a big contract for the running back——
He vowed that he was not only fighting for benefits for himself, but also for all running backs in the league. Only one person breaks the ceiling, and the average salary of running backs can keep up.
As a result, the Pittsburgh Steelers placed a disgusting exclusive franchise tag on him, with the obvious intention of letting him continue to work to see if he could stay healthy and perform at the top level for a second consecutive contract year.
Grass.
Those quarterbacks, one or two, are as incompetent as chickens. The high-priced contracts are like signing one after another for free. They are treasures, while the hard-working running backs are just grass.
Obviously the running back is also an important part of the team. Not to mention 50% but at least 30% of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive results come from his hard contribution. However, he ended up like this because he fought for a big contract for himself?
However, he did not admit defeat.
He will prove himself, 100%, he will prove to everyone that running backs are not expendable, and he will also prove to everyone that running backs should also have their own place.
Therefore, why should he, a little shrimp, mess up the conflict between the two big guys in the team's locker room? He is also shouldering a more important historical mission now, okay?
