Chapter 495: Bow-Bending and Shooting the Condor
Everything happened between lightning and flint.
The football, from Smith's arms to Hunter's hands and then into Levi's hands, was thrown back like a juggling act, completely disrupting the layout.
Peterson didn't expect this, and his heart was completely stuck in his throat.
The Philadelphia Eagles defensive team was not mentally prepared. At this moment, they could only follow the football according to their conditioned reflexes, and were completely led by the nose.
but!
A raid is still a raid.
Linebacker Kendricks was focused, following defensive end Brandon Graham, breaking through the offensive line and cutting into the pocket.
With a pause in his steps, Kendricks noticed the movement of the football.
As a middle linebacker, Kendricks was almost invisible throughout the game today. He was not able to contribute much on the ground defense. He did not have the style to kill everyone in the regular season. He once again awakened the nightmare of facing Levi in the second week of the regular season. He also held his breath and tried to prove himself.
Opportunity, opportunity is right in front of you.
Kendricks switched his center of gravity with a fierce look on his face, switching from his left side to his right side, aiming firmly at Levi amid the chaos and bumps.
Step up, impact, sack.
but.
Smith was focused and unblinking. He gritted his teeth and could not relax or give up. This quarterback who had never won the spotlight of his own, this humble and low-key quarterback who carried countless baggage, was at this moment in different positions. , burning one's own vitality.
He wants to win once.
Kick off the ground, exert force, and collide.
Smith didn't hesitate for a second, released without reservation, put aside his pride as a quarterback, and truly became a member of the Kansas Chiefs offense.
Remember?
No matter where they stand, they are all fighting together, Berry in his way, Revis and Houston in theirs, and now Smith is fighting in his own way.
Ah, ah ah ah.
Amazing energy burst out from deep in his Dantian, and Smith hit the target accurately.
Hit the wall.
Kendricks was completely unprepared. A figure rushed out from his left side. He didn't even have time to take a step before he hit the wall directly.
A moment of dizziness.
What, what's going on?
"God. God!"
"Smith's pick-up! Alex Smith completed a wonderful pick-up, intercepting Kendricks and buying time for Levi."
"Wait a minute, is Levi planning to pass the ball?"
"oh."
"Hunter! Hunter intercepted Graham! Two Grahams!"
"He knocked over Brandon Graham first, and then tackled Corey Graham laterally!"
"incredible!"
"The Kansas City Chiefs offense went crazy."
"What am I witnessing! Jesus Christ!"
Levi is adjusting his pace.
Concentratedly.
He noticed a hurricane being intercepted diagonally ahead, and also noticed the continuous impact of rolling air waves on the left, but he had no time to take care of it.
Whether Smith or Hunter, they complete their work, and he is no exception.
While taking a step back, he looked up and observed——
It turns out that the quarterback's second reading of the defense after holding the ball is like this. It is completely unfamiliar and completely different from the running back's position. But Levi did not panic, he was very calm and extremely composed.
You can see at a glance that the Philadelphia Eagles' second-line defense is obviously disrupted. Logically speaking, the Philadelphia Eagles are a carrot and a pit, playing man-to-man defense. No matter what happens, as long as they keep a close eye on their opponent. Players and the defensive team can hold the bottom line.
However!
The Kansas Chiefs' dazzling offensive tactics broke the balance, and the chaos in the pocket caused a disturbance to the Philadelphia Eagles' second-line defense.
The point is, they have no way to confirm who is responsible for passing the ball, nor the direction of the pass.
The second-line defenders had to look back into the pocket to find the quarterback. Their eyes were scrutinizing Smith's movements, but nothing came of them, which made them waver.
The slightest hesitation or confusion becomes a breakthrough opportunity for the Kansas Chiefs offensive team players.
On the left sideline, Hill had completed his escape and accelerated along the sideline with all his strength. His footsteps were approaching the ten-yard line. Cornerback Mills finally recovered and started to chase.
On the right sideline, wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and cornerback Darby are struggling.
Robinson, who was originally the team's fifth wide receiver, did not perform well throughout the season. It was not until the third and fourth wide receivers were injured that he got the chance to play in the Super Bowl. He never expected that the second wide receiver Wilson would start. He was injured after being hit by safety guard Jenkins, and he took over again.
However, due to his limited personal ability, Robinson's performance can only be said to be satisfactory. At this time, he was also struggling with Darby and failed to escape.
At this time, safety guard Jenkins was in a conflict. The player he was marking was tight end Kelsey.
But the problem is that Kelsey's speed has never been fully released, and he has been cruising along the slot unhurriedly. Not only is he positioned in the center of the court, but he also has no advantage in the vertical route.
On the contrary, both Hill and Robinson on the left and right sides were moving at full speed. Hill entered the red zone first, and Robinson was not far from the red zone.
what to do?
Jenkins was still cruising around Kelsey, just past the twenty-yard line, but his attention remained wary of Hill and Robinson.
If Levi passes the ball, who is the target?
Jenkins has a bold idea. Since it is a trick attack, is it possible that Reed will completely rebel to the end and choose a route that has been rehearsed in advance——
For example, the little-known Robinson?
All of this fell into Li Wei's field of vision, all in the midst of lightning and flint.
Now, Levi finally understands the realistic perspective in Tomlinson's training template, and finally understands what Mahomes said in private.
Then--
Bears are out.
At a glance, Levi saw linebacker Bradham coming right in front of him.
Originally, Bradham was guarding Levi, always paying attention to Levi's every move; behind the unexpected offensive tactics of the Kansas Chiefs, Bradham immediately noticed Levi grabbing the football, but did not Expand and advance forward.
"It's not a running ball."
Bradham realized.
"Wait, this isn't a running ball!"
Bradham was slightly slower by half a beat, and he cut in from the side of the fragmented front line confrontation. Without encountering any obstruction, he rushed towards Levi, opened his arms, gritted his teeth, and flew forward.
Close.
Closer!
At this moment, Levi paused, swayed quickly from side to side, feinted a shot, missed Bradham's grappling rhythm, and dodged away.
Bradham locked his eyes firmly on a figure and pounced forward, only to miss it. It was just a shadow.
And Levi has regained space.
Huchi, wheeze.
He was panting like an ox, his chest was heaving violently, and his knees were shaking.
With his eyes, he could catch the figure of Kendricks getting rid of Smith and struggling to get closer, but Levi ignored it and focused entirely on himself. The entire movement was done in one go. Amid the swinging center of gravity and swaying balance, he relied on the strength of his waist and abdomen to support himself— —
Kick off the ground, step up, turn, and push with force.
Waving arms.
Use force.
Bowing like shooting a eagle, the power was released instantly. The football left the palm, drew an arc, tore through the suffocating air, and flew out.
After a full beat, Kendricks pounced on Levi, and the two of them died together and rolled into a ball. The whole world was spinning, but Levi's eyes were always firmly fixed on the flight arc of the football, and his heart was soaring.
