Many netizens said: Levi, do you remember LeBron James on the south shore of Lake Erie?
However, all news and topics are nothing compared to Levi’s heroic act——

Undoubtedly, igniting passion.
In the past, Levi turned the tide and defeated New York's nemesis "Darth Vader" Brady. Later, Levi stepped forward to save the innocent and lovely New York citizens. These events pushed Levi to the peak of heated discussions, even if Those with no interest in football or basketball won't miss it either.
Just look at the headlines in the sports section of The New York Times:
“Levi: New York’s Peter Parker?”
Moreover, a photo of Levi with his arms tightly protecting the child was used as the accompanying picture.
During the short holiday, Levi became popular again.
Originally, this week was a time for rest and adjustment. The entire league's attention was focused on the Pro Bowl. The two teams, the Kansas Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, who were about to stand in the spotlight for a decisive battle, gave up the stage so that other players and teams in the league could enjoy it. There was a moment of attention from the lights; as a result, the social network platform was once again flooded with Levi’s figure.
then--
"King Kong, rookie, King Kong!"
As he spoke, Kelsey beat her chest and made a strange roar.
All the players nearby dispersed and looked at Kelsey with disgusted expressions. Kelsey, who was left alone, had innocence written all over his eyes.
"Hey……"
"Hey!"
"Rookie, King Kong; King Kong, rookie, isn't this a perfect fit?"
The oncoming Levi didn't seem to mind at all. He even opened his hands to accept all the jokes and complaints. His contented expression made the players even happier. After leaving Kelsey, they all surrounded Levi. Kelsey looked even more pitiful.
Levi smiled and explained, "King Kong was not popular when he arrived in New York."
aside.
"That's right, Travis, watch more movies."
"Shouldn't I read more books?"
"It's like he could open a book and stay awake for five minutes."
Haha, hahaha.
The collective burst into laughter.
Kelsey didn't mind either. She looked at the group of guys in front of her with a calm face and said, "Please, this is our common secret. Why did you just say it? I didn't tell everyone that you can't read."
The laughter became even more rampant.
When Childress arrived at the training ground, this was what he saw.
The Kansas City Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl stage after half a century. The atmosphere inside and outside the team, top to bottom, was completely cohesive. While they were eager to try, the tension did not break the balance.
Obviously, they are ready.
call.
Childress let out a breath quietly and was about to step forward. Eric Berry, who was standing next to him, had already taken the lead. He walked into the sunshine with a lazy and casual look and shouted loudly. road.
"Hey guys, is there room on this train for me to squeeze in?"
All eyes were diverted. "Oh God, Eric!"
"Look, look, who is here!"
"Finally, our defensive team king is willing to return to the team."
"Although it is a little late, for your sake, we will accept it reluctantly."
"I've already started sharpening my knife. Are your joints ready, old fellow?"
The laughter and teasing, the chattering and joking, instantly surrounded Berry, as if the defensive team captain had never been absent and had been fighting alongside them.
In the crowd, Houston looked at Berry with emotion.
These old guys who have been playing on the court for many years understand the significance of injuries. Even if they recover from injury and return to the game, their bodies will finally be different from before. This is part of the game and becomes a part of life.
——Everyone has experienced, is experiencing, or is about to experience it.
Thousands of words were swirling on the tip of his tongue, but Houston finally just said, "How are you, are you ready?"
Barry laughed heartily and looked at the others, "Someone seems to be unable to bear it anymore. Justin, can't you do it?"
Houston silently raised a finger——
The one in the middle.
Obviously, Berry didn't care at all. Not only that, but his smile became even brighter, with a "proud" expression, and then he saw Levi in the crowd.
Standing among a group of muscular men, he always has a baby face with a harmless smile. If you don't pay attention, you may mistake him for a scholar; but when he really comes on stage, he will transform into a beast and let the opponent taste it. Look down on yourself and ignore the consequences of yourself.
Levi gently raised his chin, gestured with his eyes, and smiled on his lips.
"How about that, I told you, we can."
How could Berry forget that bet?
Although Berry has been looking forward to this day, even if he cannot play side by side with his teammates on the field, he has always fought side by side with the team in his own position; however, when the Kansas Chiefs actually made it to the Super Bowl, there was still a sense of The feeling of unreality, the worry that everything in front of me is just a dream and a fantasy, grips my heart and falls.
Twenty-four hours, forty-eight hours——
Until now, Berry was finally able to believe that it really happened.
At this time, looking at the baby face in front of him with a sunny smile again, Berry's mood couldn't help but fly. He had many, many things to say, but in the end he just stretched out his right hand, took Levi's right hand, and pulled hard .
Shoulder bump.
Pat on the back.
Bang, Barry said to Levi.
"Well done."
One sentence is enough.
After clicking until he released his palm, Levi was about to make a few jokes about Berry, but he noticed a flash of loss and bitterness on Berry's cheek.
Although the smile was still rising, it could not conceal the struggle between the eyebrows, like a layer of rain covering the face, and the bright sunshine was always separated by a layer.
Levi was stunned.
Subconsciously, Levi's first reaction was to look over Berry's shoulder, and only then did he see Childress.
Childress's face was full of obscure and sad expression, his shoulders were slumped down weakly, his eyes were dodging, and he stood quietly behind the crowd to hide his figure. When he noticed Levi's sight, he turned his head away in embarrassment.
An unknown premonition came over me.
Levi couldn't believe it and refused to believe it. His smile stopped at the corners of his mouth, and he looked at Berry in astonishment, shock and anger surging in his eyes.
No, it won't...
