Chapter 301 Unity
Quiet, everything is still, an absolute silence that cuts off breathing and heartbeat, but under the silence, the surging passion is suppressed and accumulated bit by bit, waiting for the moment to break through the critical point. detonate.
Like the calm before the storm.
Then.
When Levi entered the end zone and looked around the field, the switch was finally triggered——
boom!
Kansas City finally released the seal, and an incredible burst of energy instantly erupted. The rolling red tide between heaven and earth occupied the sight, and the whole world was dyed red.
The Kansas Chiefs, who won six games in a row at the beginning of the season, seem to be back.
Maybe, maybe not, after all, the game has just begun; but at least one thing is certain, the Kansas Chiefs are fully prepared for this game, and their belief in winning can be seen from the opening tactical layout.
Maybe Reid's ability to improvise on the spot is not the best, but his pre-match preparation and tactical game are undoubtedly the top in the league.
The first offensive tactics not only evolved based on the previous tricks, but also deeply studied the Oakland Raiders' defensive tactics to set up traps, and finally made full use of Levi's personal abilities to open up the situation.
See the blood and seal the throat, simply and neatly.
"7:0".
At the beginning, Reid showed his ability and gave the Oakland Raiders a disastrous start.
Del Rio didn't panic - well, actually a little, and was caught off guard by the killing.
Del Rio never expected to lose a touchdown in the first 20 seconds, and it was a 75-yard long-distance attack, which really hurt morale; but he had also expected such a situation. Today was an offensive battle, and the next step was still It depends on the performance of the iron triangle of Carr, Lynch, and Cooper.
The Oakland Raiders' offensive team couldn't hold it any longer. The special teams team had just appeared on the scene, and they were already eager to stand up and prepare to counterattack.
Cooper, gearing up, kept walking in place like a flea to warm up, eager to appear on the stage immediately and start a bayonet duel with his opponent.
Lynch, who is usually silent and reserved, also came to the sidelines of the court early for a rare occasion. Facing the Kansas Chiefs, Lynch never lacked motivation. He was even more excited than facing opponents in the same district during the Seattle Seahawks period. After all, he has been growing up since childhood. He has witnessed countless conflicts between Oakland and Kansas, and now he can finally step onto Arrowhead Stadium as a member of the Raiders——
By the way, as the defending champion, the Seattle Seahawks once visited Arrowhead Stadium. The result was "20:24". The Kansas Chiefs defeated the blasting Legion in their peak period. This is not a good memory for Lynch.
Even before he appeared, his blood was already boiling.
On the other side of the court, the Kansas Chiefs defense is also sharpening its knives.
When the offensive team players returned, Houston stood up early, silently led the defensive team to stand in line, raised his right hand in advance, waiting for a high-five.
Levi returned, "Sorry, the speed is too fast. The defense team may have to work hard today."
Then, high fives.
That understatement immediately made the defensive players behind them cry and howl, and their morale was instantly ignited.
In the last game against the Oakland Raiders, to be honest, the defensive team performed poorly——
Wide receiver Cooper advanced 210 yards on 11 catches, averaging 19 yards per reception, which is a phenomenal performance. In sharp contrast, the Kansas Chiefs' second-line defense was completely overwhelmed. The cornerbacks, The safeties and even the linebackers are all sharpening their skills.
The Kansas Chiefs have always had problems with their pass defense, relying on their strong performance in the red zone to barely occupy a place in the league's top class; however, this does not mean that they can let their opponents get whatever they want. That performance really gave them a hard time. Give them a slap in the face.
Finally, the moment of redemption comes.
not to mention--
"Guys, listen."
Houston called all the defensive players over.
"You all heard what the rookie just said. The situation is difficult, very, very difficult, but the offensive team has shown its form, and now it's our turn."
"Remember, we are a team, we can't hold them back."
"Hey, they are not fighting alone, and neither are we." Simple, but powerful.
The Kansas Chiefs defensive players exchanged glances with each other and formed a tight rope. Even at the lowest point, they still ignited a high morale.
Then, they came on stage.
"Oakland Raiders offense vs. Kansas Chiefs defense."
Bart, take a deep breath, straighten your back——
Just now, Levi was slapped in the face again, and an ominous premonition quietly arose.
But Bart controlled himself, calmed down, stayed calm, and looked at Carr next, along with Cooper and Lynch, and he believed in the Oakland Raiders.
However, the situation seems to be... a little bit bad.
"Stop!"
"Beautiful! The prediction was accurate. Kansas City's Houston completely saw through Oakland's fake pass running tactics and was not affected at all. It was already in place before Lynch started and completed the interception behind the line of scrimmage. Lynch's power was not able to explode. Come out and miss the opportunity to get away.”
Second gear eleven yards.
"Oh, oh!"
"Nelson, Kansas' Steven Nelson got stuck perfectly, and Oakland's Cooper was never able to get rid of it."
"Karl's pass was a bit risky. In fact, there was a gap in the short passing area on the other side of the court, but Karl still chose the 15th mid-pass to try to connect with Cooper. After all, the last time we met Cooper, he was facing Nelson. The situation is completely open.”
"Unfortunately, Nelson was highly focused this time and did not give Cooper a chance. This was a very clean defense."
"Cal pass incomplete."
Eleven yards in third gear.
"Observe, observe, Carl is still observing."
"Danger."
"Kansas did not choose to raid, but in this offense, their pass defense, man-to-man defense and zone defense were precise and efficient. Karl did not find the passing target."
"Karl is still observing, but he holds the ball for too long. Lynch's pick-up can no longer stop him. Karl needs to take action."
"Wait, wait, the pocket is torn."
"Oh, God!"
"Tamba Hali broke through and hit the quarterback."
"Karl, Karl is still trying to pass the ball. Ah, this pass went off the board and fell into a no man's land. The pass was incomplete."
"Carl held the ball too long and still didn't play the ball for more than five seconds. Harry, the Kansas outside linebacker who came on the bench this week, did not miss this opportunity."
"The return of starting outside linebacker Dee Ford after being placed on the injured list is far away, which makes people worry about the strength of Kansas' defense, but now it seems that Harry, who came off the bench, performed well in the first defensive State, seize the opportunity to complete a quarterback hit. "
"Strikeout!"
"The Oakland Raiders got off to a bad start. In sharp contrast, the Kansas City Chiefs defense showed an incredible mental state and got into shape right away from the start..."
The Oakland Raiders offensive team only came on the scene for less than two minutes. The weak offense encountered a burst of destruction from the Kansas Chiefs defensive team. The three core players of Carr, Cooper, and Lynch were hit and beaten without exception. Grinding on the ground, he struck out without any start, and the number of yards advanced:
Minus one yard.
Bart: ...cover your face, wait, you won't be... slapped in the face again, right? He seemed to have seen this scene before.
