Chapter 293 Move Forward
Behind the understatement are hidden hardships and untold ups and downs. Life is never easy. Everyone has their own problems and challenges. Just because others can’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
However, no matter what, this is your own battle, and you need to fight it yourself after all, so the words stayed on your lips and did not continue.
Then, there was a brief silence in the conversation——
Lilith did not wait for Levi's response.
Somewhat unexpected.
Lilith looked up and saw a smile on the corner of Levi's mouth.
Lilith was stunned, and Levi said, "You don't know how difficult it is for an Asian to make every step forward in a sport dominated by whites and blacks."
So far, but meaningful.
Lilith opened her mouth slightly, but finally couldn't hold it back. She smiled and faced her mistake calmly, "Sorry, obviously, I missed the point."
After a slight pause, Lilith couldn't hold back, "Are you always so confident?"
Levi showed a smile, "Do you think so?"
Lilith nodded slightly.
Levi, "That proves that I succeeded. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I am confident or not. What is really important is not to let your opponent see your true thoughts. When others think you are confident, it often means that they have begun to waver."
"This is called momentum."
Pause for a moment——
"So, don't," Levi continued.
Lilith was stunned and looked at Levi reflexively. What did this meaningless words mean?
Levi shook his head, "Don't doubt yourself. You have already taken the first step, which has surpassed - let me think about it - 80% of people who talk without practicing and 10% of people who give up halfway in the three-minute heat. This means Now you are in the top 10% of the pyramid, which is rare, believe me, I know it very well.”
Seeing Li Wei talking nonsense seriously, even though he knew that all the data were nonsense, he couldn't help but want to believe it. When Lilith realized that the corners of her mouth were raised, she hurriedly covered her expression and tried to change the subject. But found that he was a step slower.
In front of her eyes, she could see Levi's slender fingers shaking twice. Lilith suddenly raised her head, and then saw Levi's smiling face.
He put his finger next to his cheek and gestured, "Your broken hair."
Usually accustomed to Lilith's serious image of being meticulous and keeping away from strangers, the scene in front of him was a little strange, but Levi still maintained a gentleman's distance.
Lilith was startled, her breathing stagnated slightly, and she quickly tucked the hair that was hanging on her face behind her ears. Her usual iceberg look betrayed a moment of panic——
My cheeks felt hot.
Lilith took a deep breath quickly and regained her composure. Before Levi continued to speak, she regained her usual rationality and sharpness and changed the topic first.
"Are you bragging now? You have also begun to try to challenge different positions, wide receivers and quarterbacks, so you are praising yourself as being in the top 10% of the pyramid, right?"
Levi shook his head gently, his face calm.
"No, I am a 1% existence."
“Not only have I started trying it, but I’ve already mastered it in just one week.”
"No, no, the levels are different. Otherwise, how do you think I could gain a foothold in the alliance?"
That confident posture, so uninhibited and so natural, but not annoying at all, Lilith also admired her sincerely. The tight corners of her mouth relaxed slightly, and she glanced down and gestured. Levi's jersey.
"So, this is how you become the leader of the team? I can guarantee that if you came out like this today, the fans who came to watch training would turn around and start burning the No. 23 jersey."
Levi looked down and said, "This? Haha, if you feel angry, it means my strategy is correct."
Today, Levi is wearing a No. 4 jersey——
The Oakland Raiders' No. 4 belongs to quarterback Derek Carr. Next week, on the fourteenth day of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Oakland Raiders, trying to end their six-game losing streak against their opponents who started their six-game losing streak.
There is no doubt that this is a tough battle.
As a result, Levi came to practice wearing an Oakland Raiders jersey?
Lilith shook her head slightly, "Those people will tear you into pieces."
Levi was not afraid, "Angry? Anger is all right."
Not only was he not afraid, but the smile on his lips was slightly raised.
"Victory has inertia, and so does failure. When you suffer consecutive losses, the haze hangs over your head. You may not notice it at ordinary times, but it becomes the key to turning the tide of the game at critical moments."
"We need anger, we need fighting spirit, and we need to burn. Only burning can dispel all those hazes and clouds."
"In training, we ignite the belief that we must win. Only in this way, when we step into the official competition, can we complete the psychological hint, get rid of the shadow of failure, and devote ourselves to the battle wholeheartedly."
The Levi in front of him was unfamiliar, completely different from his usual sunny, lazy and casual appearance; but at the same time, the Levi in front of him was familiar, completely consistent with his high-spirited and bloody fighting appearance on the field.
Involuntarily, Lilith could feel her blood boiling.
Maybe, she thought, an Oakland Raiders jersey would be a good idea after all.
"Are you confident?" Lilith asked.
Levi didn't hesitate for a second, "Of course."
Lilith, "I believe you have faith, but so firmly?"
After all, the team is facing a six-game losing streak. Not to mention the players, the coaching staff is also gloomy, and there is a sense of depression in their daily lives.
They, the logistics staff, were no exception. They couldn't keep up their energy and energy, and even their steps couldn't help but slow down, lest they make any noise.
At this point, you can see the youthfulness of Li Wei, a layman——
Ignorant and fearless.
Obviously, Levi lacks understanding of the NFL and lacks experience in the haze of losing streaks, so he can be so confident, almost a blind belief.
Levi smiled again, "In the first six consecutive victories, five of the wins were decided in the fourth quarter; in the next six consecutive losses, all six were decided in the fourth quarter, including one overtime defeat. "Four games within one possession, what does that say?"
"This shows that NFL teams are close in strength, and the suspense of victory or defeat is often just a hair's breadth."
"We were able to win consecutive games because we gained confidence by defeating the defending champion in the opening game. In the fourth quarter, we were always able to hold on to our opponents and endure tough battles with faith."
"And our losing streak is due to fluctuations in confidence, physical fitness, and mentality during the long season. After a hard-fought loss to the Oakland Raiders, we fell into a wave of self-doubt."
"So, in the next game, a touchdown or an interception, a gritty victory, can overturn the entire situation and get us back on track."
"I believe in us."
He said, "we", not "me", but the whole team.
Levi pointed to his jersey, the No. 4 Oakland Raiders jersey.
"I feel like this is the perfect opponent and we're going to beat them and we're going to get back on track."
"I believe we can do it and I will do my best to help the team do it."
