Chapter 353 The brave man wins
Henry has always been confident and has never doubted himself. Even when he has been a substitute for two seasons since joining the league, he has never wavered. He has not wavered for a minute or even a second. He is even arrogant.
But now.
Henry saw Levi, a rookie who had quit other projects halfway, but he became the banner of the Crimson Tide Storm without stopping, and in the blink of an eye he grew into a pillar of the NFL team.
So, are you envious?
A little bit.
So, what about jealousy?
No, not at all.
Because Henry still believes in himself.
He believes that he can do it, that he can shine and have a place in the league, and that he can make the opponent's defensive team tremble when they hear his name.
He doesn't need to be jealous or resentful, he just needs to focus on himself.
Keep your head high and your head high.
In the turmoil of the whole place, Henry walked towards Levi.
In the past, Levi always left the stadium in a hurry. Because he was not good at remembering names, every time someone came up to shake hands to express admiration, he had to squeeze out an awkward but polite smile, trying his best to prevent the other party from discovering what was in his head. question mark--
who is he?
Today, Levi did not.
After all the Kansas Chiefs players rushed into the stadium to celebrate their victory, Levi looked for Henry among the bustling crowd.
"Derrick Henry."
From the first day when Burns "kidnapped" Levi into the football field, this was a lofty name. Not to mention surpassed, it was difficult to even reach it. His existence was a benchmark and a symbol, and it was also a symbol for these runners. The goal that Wei struggled to catch up with.
This was also the first football player's name that Levi truly remembered.
It was not Manning or Brady, nor the glorious medals that have retired and entered the Hall of Fame, but Henry, who had just entered the league at that time.
Today, finally!
Levi can finally take a closer look at this figure who will always live in the coach's words.
——Here he comes.
From afar, at a distance, Henry's sense of oppression hit his face, cutting through the waves of the bustling crowd of Kansas Chiefs and Tennessee Titans.
6.3 feet (191 cm).
247 lbs (112 kg).
Both height and weight are a bit bigger than Levi, but in real close contact, you can't tell. Henry looks restrained and strong.
Not a trace of fat.
Although he has a smile on his face and looks kind and harmless, he exudes an indomitable momentum from the inside out——
Like a sharp blade.
No wonder in the NCAA arena, opponents' knees tremble when they see Henry.
However, Levi was a little unsure whether it was because of the loss in this game or because Henry had sharpened his skills during his two years with the Tennessee Titans. The Henry standing in front of him still seemed... restrained compared to the rumored favorite.
Whatever the reason, this means that Henry is transforming.
When you are young, you show off your sharpness and swagger through the market, and you are proud of your horse's hooves; but only by learning to restrain your sharpness and wait for opportunities to move can you become a true master.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win; when the brave meet, the wise will win.
Finally, Henry's footsteps stopped in front of Levi, keeping two steps away.
When Li Wei was sizing up Henry, Henry was also sizing up Li Wei.
In other words, when Levi heard all kinds of rumors about Henry, Henry also heard all kinds of rumors about Levi. The two legendary running backs of the Crimson Tide Storm, winners of the Heisman Award in the past two years, finally officially met.
With a rustling sound, other players around them noticed the movement here. One or two of them looked over one after another, and more and more people were eating melons.
Rarely, Hill was a little worried and patted Kelsey on the shoulder, "Rookie, do you need us to go over and help out?"
Kelsey looked over and laughed dumbly, "Have you forgotten? They are from the same university. They probably have their own rivalries." Hill rolled his eyes and glanced at Kelsey speechlessly, "Nonsense, I Of course I know, that’s why I asked you if you want to go over and help. What should I do if the second grader bullies the rookie?”
Houston looked on and said, "Rookies have always bullied others. When did it become someone else's turn to bully rookies? Have you forgotten what sport he came from?"
After speaking, Houston silently clenched his fists.
Then, countless eyes quietly looked at Olakapo.
Oracapo:? ? ?
It’s not just Arrowhead Stadium.
At this moment, the players of the Crimson Tide Storm in front of the Atlanta TV also paused to cheer and celebrate. One or two, they all raised their heads and looked at Henry and Levi in the live broadcast camera.
Apparently, ESPN noticed the spark, too.
Usually, at the end of the playoffs, the head coaches and quarterbacks of the two teams are the absolute superstars, and the live cameras will follow them closely to watch their handshakes and hugs at the end.
Today, of course, is no exception.
But when the live broadcast director took a look, the handshakes and hugs between Mariota and Smith, Reed and Murakai were really boring. There was no topic or chemical reaction. They were just routine. They caught the key points immediately before the audience picked up the remote control. ——
flow!
In the VIP box, Goodell nodded slightly when he saw the live broadcast screen switching quickly. ESPN, the live broadcast director, is a knowledgeable person.
Henry paused and said, "You, very young."
young?
What adjective is this.
Li Wei maintained the attitude of a country of Eastern etiquette and nodded politely, "You... are very clean."
Henry was stunned, obviously not expecting Levi's reply, he couldn't control his expression, and even lowered his head to look at his own condition:
Clean? Are you sure?
But Henry had received the message. He did not continue to pretend, and took the initiative to extend his right hand, "Wonderful game, indeed very exciting."
Levi held Henry's right hand firmly, "A wonderful game requires two equally matched opponents, and the one who performs better wins the game."
Neither humble nor arrogant!
Despite his victory, Li Wei was not proud, showed off his power, and was not smug, which made Henry's eyes show admiration.
Now, he finally understood why Coach Burns always asked him to watch more of Levi's games.
One grip.
Henry's right hand was strong.
However, Li Wei showed no signs of weakness and fought back with all his might.
Henry was a little surprised, because strength has never been Levi's strong point. Now it seems that Levi is still making progress, and he has no reason to stand still.
The confrontation was just a brief collision.
Henry did not continue to exert force, and the tight shoulder lines relaxed.
Henry was about to speak, but he didn't expect Levi to take the lead this time, "Strong! Really strong! Sure enough, Coach Burns is right. You still haven't tapped into your full potential. If you persist, I will There’s going to be an embarrassment.”
Henry choked.
Henry didn't expect Levi to say it so frankly. His expression didn't tense up and he laughed directly.
Levi continued, "So, I will continue to work hard."
The smile stayed on Henry's lips, and he almost choked on his own saliva, but looking at Levi's magnanimous eyes, he also straightened his back, tightened his smile, and looked serious and serious in his usual eyes. .
"Now, you are qualified to be the flag of the Crimson Tide Storm."
"But don't take it lightly. I haven't given up. I'm ready and looking forward to our next meeting."
