Chapter 313 Top Traffic
“A question, how strong is Levi?”
“The current major record for rookie running backs in the league was set by legendary running back Eric Dickson in 1984. Thirty-three years ago, no one has been able to break it. "
"1,808 yards on the ground, 18 touchdowns."
"For thirty-three years, generations of young people have tried to break these rookie season records, but all have failed; even talented players such as Tomlinson and Peterson have not been able to break the record."
"Are they not good enough?"
"No, of course not. They have all proven their legends; the more important reason is that the current trend in the league is shifting from running the ball to passing the ball. The living space of running backs has narrowed, and rookie running backs shoulder heavy responsibilities. With fewer situations, high-energy output throughout the entire rookie season becomes increasingly difficult.”
"Until now."
"Levi is less than 200 yards away from Dickerson's ground running record, and has already tied Dickerson's running ball touchdown record."
"Note that Levi's team is the Kansas Chiefs, who are good at passing offense. Reid is the head coach. In the past two seasons, the running offense has only ranked in the middle of the league."
"Levi not only proved that he is not just a casual player in any system, but also proved that he has the ability to turn the game around and decide the game."
"So when we're talking about Levi, it's much more than just a set of numbers."
"I think Levi is fully qualified to enter the regular season MVP discussion."
"Blair, what do you think?"
In the "Inside the League" program, in a sudden turn, Lawson threw the topic to Bart. The distraught Bart was shocked as if he had been struck by lightning. The next second he realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Bart took a deep breath, and he knew that he was in deep trouble again; moreover, this time the Kansas Chiefs defeated the Oakland Raiders, in a sense, it was even more unexpected and shocking than any previous game this season. Bart was There's not even any underwear left.
But what else can be done?
"Are you sure you need to ask my opinion?"
Bart opened his mouth and laughed at himself, and there was a burst of laughter in the studio——
The nickname "Rugby Pele" has officially come into being, and even fans are teasing him, with all kinds of emoticons flying all over social networks.
If you think about it seriously, the real Bailey also has an unyielding spirit. He has made countless mistakes in predictions but still stands tall and continues to talk. Bart is just a small setback, and he should not give up on himself.
Bart has already thought about it. Now that the matter has come to this, being the target of ridicule is not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, the traffic is already there, so he should seize the opportunity firmly.
So, Bart straightened his back slightly and showed a smile on his lips.
"Yes, I think we should include Levi in the regular season MVP discussion."
"He deserves it."
Bart: The crow's mouth speaks, how about it, Levi, are you scared?
Li Wei, who was training at this moment, sneezed without warning. Why did he suddenly feel a chill in his back?
"Within the Alliance" started to attract attention, and immediately detonated the social network.
Currently, the regular season MVP discussion mainly revolves around several players, New England Patriots quarterback Brady, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley and defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Aaron Donald), Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.
Every player has performed at the top level this season, and the team is still competing for the playoffs. Brady and Donald are slightly ahead. The former once again had a career highlight season, and the latter surpassed the Oakland Raiders' Mark to become the defensive leader this year. Player representatives.
Now, Levi's name has also been nominated for the regular season MVP discussion for the first time, and things have become lively——
Of course there are many supporters; but equally, there are countless opponents. Does a rookie really deserve to be named the regular season MVP?
Similar to football's Golden Globe Award, the regular season MVP is originally a competition between a group of top players. Each player often has his own supporters. There is no absolutely correct choice, only the best that each player recognizes.
Everyone has their own opinions and different opinions. In the bustling place, the discussion surrounding Levi once again entered the hot search, and a new storm swept the entire alliance.
But there is no doubt that in any project, if a newcomer who has just entered the competition joins such a discussion, it will inevitably trigger an epic tsunami of heated discussions.
Apparently, New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kamara scoffed -
"Ha, that's ridiculous."
"If he can get into the discussion for regular season MVP, I think I can too."
"He was good, but I was better."
"Stop making jokes like regular season MVP, let's talk about Rookie of the Year first. I think I deserve this title more than him."
Kamara has been dissatisfied with Levi since the rookie training camp. He doesn't think Levi is better than any running back this year. If he wasn't labeled as an Asian player, how could he have caused so many topics? He was also selected early with the third pick in the first round!
And Kamara was only the 67th pick in the third round.
Regular season MVP?
Haha, that's a joke. Anyway, Kamala is the first one to refuse to accept it.
In fact, Kamala is not just talking nonsense.
In this year's draft, the conversation surrounding running backs was completely focused on the troika of Fournette, Levi and McCaffrey, so that all other running backs were ignored and ignored. However, after the regular season kicked off, Fournette, Levi and McCaffrey were all ignored. The performance of Nate and McCaffrey was slightly lower than expected, and Levi was the only one who was unable to support himself, proving once again——
The draft is actually a show. It is essentially a marketing and promotion game. Everyone is looking at the smoke and firmly believes that they can see clearly, but only time is the only answer.
Fournette and McCaffrey failed to live up to expectations, and instead Kamara emerged strong.
After joining the New Orleans Saints, Kamara served as the backup for former Crimson Tide Storm running back Mark Ingram and performed at the top level despite limited playing time.
In Week 11, Kamara became the first player since Herschel-Walker in 1986 to complete 500 yards running and 500 yards receiving.
In the thirteenth week, Kamara became the fourth player in league history to run for 600 yards and receive 600 passes, and tied the Los Angeles Rams' Gurley with 11 touchdowns, currently ranking Second in the league in touchdowns, second only to the distant leader...Levi.
In the Kansas Chiefs, rookie running back Hunter has won a place with his ability to run the ball and catch the ball, and has also become a hot topic in the league; but in front of Kamara, Hunter's data is still slightly bleak.
If it weren't for the strong performance of Los Angeles Rams running back Gurley in the National League, Kamara wouldn't have only won the Offensive Player of the Week twice.
Therefore, when Kamala attacked Levi, the media immediately realized——
Here comes the topic.
Later, when the topic came to Levi, this annual topic figure still looked at the camera lens with an innocent face and clear eyes.
"who?"
