Chapter 497 A group of madmen
Levi, hold your breath——
In the midst of the spin, I found the high-rising football parabola and watched that naughty brown-red light spot fall into Kelsey's arms. The breath I had been holding in my chest finally came out for a long time and shook it off. Kendricks did not stand up, but lay exhausted on the ground, letting his brain continue to erupt.
He doesn't even want to move a finger now. His body and soul are completely empty, and he uses all his strength to release them heartily.
The long, bumpy, tortuous and thrilling season has finally come to an end.
victory. champion.
They did it. They actually did it.
The burning relief and the joy of challenging the limits exploded like fireworks, filling the entire brain, and the world began to spin at high speed.
Then--
"Won."
Smith took off his helmet, and his sweaty face with red ears appeared directly above him, filled with uncontrollable excitement and incredible excitement. He made an emergency brake to control himself, and thus avoided falling on Levi, but the surging emotions Still can't control it.
"Won."
"Win!"
Over and over again, happiness and joy filled the words, and the voice could not help but tremble slightly. Suddenly, the eyes were filled with tears.
"We won."
Levi supported himself to stand up and looked at Smith who was smiling but crying. Words were simply not enough to accurately describe his mood at this moment. He raised his hand and hammered Smith on the shoulder, gave the captain a hug, and then smiled. He spoke confidently.
"I said, no confidence, but we will win."
Smith couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing, but he never expected that his tears would burst out of control like pearls with broken threads. He cried and laughed like a madman. He kept raising his hands to wipe away the tears, but couldn't find a way to wipe them away. He couldn't wipe it clean, so in the end he simply gave up, spread out his hands and cried loudly as if he were lying flat and ready to be laughed at.
Smith had really waited for this moment for too long.
Once, he carefully fantasized about what it would be like to reach the top of the championship, and then stood in the bathroom and imagined the scene of holding the Super Bowl trophy; but slowly, slowly, he did not even dare to let go of his imagination, and was timid and lost. If you bury your dreams, you won’t be disappointed if you don’t have hope——
Disappointment was really too painful and tortured, and he no longer had the energy to bear it.
However.
They did it, they finally climbed to the top and wrote brilliant stories.
Smith thought he would be ecstatic, but he was dragged into a hell of tears by bitterness and sadness. Countless days and nights in the past few years, and failed seasons after seasons, flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, easily. Defeat all defenses.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of booing from far to near.
"Ah, ah, ah, Levi, Levi Levi Levi!"
"Champions! We are champions!"
"You are a madman! Madman!"
Faces distorted with excitement, figures jumping with joy, crazily rushing towards Levi like a tide.
One after another, no breathing room.
Then.
A figure rushed over all the way, shouting "get out of the way" from a long way away. He caught Li Wei's figure in the turbulent crowd, jumped up, and collided with Li Wei's chest, like some heavy weapon. Levi's knees softened and he took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Kelsey reacted quickly and grabbed Levi to control the situation.
There was a burst of booing from the side, "Travis crashed our champion hero."
Kelsey laughed twice, touched his head, and turned around to find Smith sobbing, "Ah, Levi, what did you do to our captain?"
The sights rushed towards Smith. Smith was a little shy and embarrassed, but he did not dodge or escape. Instead, he spread his hands calmly and let the embarrassment on his face be revealed, "Hey, we are the champions!"
In an instant, everyone raised their hands high and started dancing on the spot.
"Champion! Champion! Champion!"
…
Fly, fly, fall, catch the ball.
There was silence in the Old Oak Tavern. Everyone was frozen in place like a statue. The moment they saw Kelsey completing the ball, they were about to cheer, but their breath was cut off by Jenkins' tackle. They were all in shock until Kelsey regained control. Live football and stand up——
Volcano, eruption.
Ah, ah ah, ah ah!
West suddenly clenched his fists, raised his arms and shouted, his mind went blank, he had no idea, he just shouted blankly.
ah!
Look at the TV screen.
ah!
Look at Anderson.
Use all your strength, burn your soul, completely abandon your reason, and fall into madness.
The entire Old Oak Tavern was shaking, and everyone was jumping, cheering, and shouting. The mountains of lava and heat waves made the words pale and feeble.
Anderson watched this scene quietly, controlled himself, controlled himself again, but failed in the end, turned around and entered the bar kitchen.
Light a cigarette silently.
Anderson couldn't help but recall his childhood, when he followed his father, mother, grandparents and witnessed the moment when the Kansas City Chiefs won the championship for the first time. At that time, he didn't know anything, he just joined in the fun and cheered, and saw his grandfather covering his face and crying. He still looks confused:
Although she was so happy, she shed tears. Why?
In the blink of an eye, half a century has passed, and he is gradually approaching the age of his grandfather. He also witnessed a legend in the Old Oak Tavern.
Unfortunately, grandpa is no longer here.
Even my father...if his father hadn't been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he would have appeared at the tavern and fought alongside them.
but.
The team finally reached the championship.
No matter how difficult it is, no matter how slim it is, no matter how many ups and downs there are, they never give up. They always fight to the end and keep fighting. They once again show the tenacity and wildness of the chief, igniting a ray of light in the endless dark night and leading them out of the vast predicament.
No one believed in the team, and even their die-hard fans fell into despair more than once and were on the verge of giving up. Hopes and dreams seemed to be just sugar-coated shells in fairy tales used to deceive children and numb their souls.
However, the team did not give up.
They are still fighting, they are still struggling, they still foolishly and naively believe that dreams ignite hope, they still firmly grasp every moment of life and shine.
Because dreams make their lives bearable.
When he gets up tomorrow morning, he will tell his father, who will definitely be very happy. Even though Alzheimer's disease is an incurable and irreversible disease, it does not mean that they should give up life and give up hope.
He still believes in it, just like he believes in the Kansas Chief.
The dawn will eventually come. No matter what happens, the Old Oak Tavern will always be here. The last time the miracle of the Kansas Chiefs allowed them to persist for half a century, this time the legend may last longer.
He's not greedy, not at all. That's enough.
Deeply, Anderson took another drag on his cigarette. The carnival and noise in the tavern behind him was still raging, but he quietly enjoyed the happiness of this moment alone.
A kind of purity, but also a kind of enrichment.
