Chapter 363 The true colors are revealed
In the first week of the regular season, Bart was optimistic that the New England Patriots would win.
As a result, he was slapped in the face.
In the second round of the divisional round of the playoffs, Bart is once again optimistic about the New England Patriots winning, but this time the situation is completely different. After a full season of polishing, the team's strength and status are completely clear.
As Bart said, the New England Patriots are now the top favorites to win the Super Bowl. It is not a good thing for any team to encounter them. This is an objective fact, not a subjective judgment.
Therefore, the view that the New England Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs to advance to the next round is not a minority.
This time, Bart sided with the majority.
More importantly, this time the voices expecting the New England Patriots to win have completely gained the upper hand——
reason?
Levi.
"Levi", the alliance's traffic guarantee, is setting off a new storm.
However, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
Indeed, Levi has proven with practical actions that he is an excellent running back, but one season's performance is not enough to convince everyone. There are only a handful of superstars who emerge every year and continue to be strong, not to mention Whether Levi can continue his performance in his second and third years, there are many players who are looking forward to defeating Levi even if they are sharpening their skills this season.
Fournette. Kamala. mark. Roethlisberger.
These are just the tip of the iceberg.
NFL, the number one sport in North America, when will it be an Asian’s turn to be the king? When is it a rookie's turn to represent the entire league? When does a running back steal everyone's attention?
Just a running back, he cannot and does not deserve to be the key to victory or defeat.
Don't talk about Levi. When Bell, the superstar of the Pittsburgh Steelers, fought for a history-making high salary for the running back, the mainstream voices in the league were also disdainful and disdainful. Even the players thought that Bell was opening his mouth to the Lions, and they did not think that running back Wei deserves this kind of salary.
So much so that Bell stood on the cusp of the storm and endured unimaginable pressure.
This is the running back's dilemma.
But now, Levi is changing this situation.
It is conceivable that controversy, doubts, and provocations will follow.
Rookie, don't be discouraged, wait patiently, the alliance is really showing its face, this time, he will let you show your true colors, and everything will be revealed.
People expect the New England Patriots to stop the Kansas City Chiefs, expect Brady to stop Levi, and expect football to return to their familiar form -
They support Levi and appreciate Levi's praise of Levi, but they don't want Levi to win the Super Bowl before them. It's that simple.
Goodell's marketing strategy did not receive widespread support among players, and even backfired, triggering a chorus of resentment.
Therefore, Bart's views received unimaginable support and support. Instead of becoming the target of ridicule, he was ridiculed as "finally right for once."
More importantly, there is a decisive key to victory or defeat in the playoffs.
"No one should forget that this time the Kansas City Chiefs are heading north to Fox Castle for a road game."
"Gillette Stadium in January is a nightmare for every player in the league."
"Subzero temperatures, raging winds, and even possible rain or snow battles. It's not sunny Miami. The entire game environment is completely different, and emergencies may occur at any time. For the coaching staff and players, on-the-spot adjustments are a must. Ability is crucial.”
"The reason why Gillette Stadium is called the Devil's home stadium is because of the harsh winters in December and January."
Like other outdoor competitive sports, rugby will also face the impact of weather. Once it rains or snows, changes in field conditions may become unknown factors and change the course of the game; and the impact does not end there. In cold weather, the leather of a football hardens and changes density, and the entire feel, air pressure, center of gravity, spin, etc., are all affected.
For the quarterback, the accuracy and parabola of the pass will increase the error; at the same time, for the wide receiver and running back, the difficulty of protecting the ball has also increased, and the proportion of dropped balls has skyrocketed.
It is even more unavoidable that cold weather causes a decrease in body heat and activity, which in turn affects performance.
The combination of various factors has made Gillette Stadium in Foxborough a playoff nightmare for other teams in the league.
Fox Castle in September and Fox Castle in January are two completely different worlds. It is conceivable that the Kansas Chiefs, who will go north to Fox Castle in the next week, may face the biggest challenge of the season.
"The Kansas City Chiefs are outstanding, outstanding, and without a doubt the biggest discovery of the season. They have brought a series of surprises to the league."
"But I'm afraid, this is the end of their amazing season."
“The Yellow Brick Road is over for the Kansas Chiefs, this is their Oz.”
Bart said.
From the initial struggle to the final throw, Bart regained his confidence and truly believed that victory would belong to the New England Patriots.
In fact, this time Bart's judgment received unprecedented support.
"9:1".
There are a total of ten professionals "within the league", and a total of nine votes were cast for the New England Patriots. Only Lawson, a polished commander, continued to defend his title of "Levi Blow", and his image of utter loyalty was enough to make people shed tears——
After all, the Kansas Chiefs had such a hard time winning against even the Tennessee Titans. This trip to Fox Castle in the cold winter should have a narrow escape.
Including Lawson himself admitted.
"This is the toughest and most difficult challenge the Kansas City Chiefs have faced all season, more than any other game. There is no way out."
"But I think the Kansas Chiefs are a growing young team. They are always improving. Every game is a test. After experiencing the tough battle of the Tennessee Titans, when they go to Fox Castle, they can compete with a higher level. Appearance appears.”
"Indeed, this game is different from the opening game. It will be a completely different game."
"The New England Patriots are no longer the New England Patriots, but the Kansas Chiefs are no longer the Kansas Chiefs."
"This game is a little different from what we imagined. The collision of the defensive team will be the key to the outcome of the game. Although both teams have excellent offensive teams, the two coaches Belichick and Reid are showing their ability. Ability, they know how to use defense to win games.”
"This is also the key for a team to go further in the playoffs."
"Of course, the offensive team is still the focus. People have been discussing Levi, including myself, who am also looking forward to Levi's performance. But I need to remind you that Alex Smith is having the best season of his career. No one should ignore his matchup with Brady."
Lawson still believes in the Kansas Chiefs and still believes in Levi’s growth——
His support and praise are not blind; they are the result of calm and objective analysis.
Lawson truly believes that the Kansas City Chiefs can beat the New England Patriots again.
Perhaps, this game will be a turning point in the transformation of the Kansas Chiefs.
Unfortunately, this time, he is in the minority.
