Chapter 501 Award Ceremony
"Thank you."
It is just the simplest and most simple greeting, but it can taste different.
Levi's feelings were a little subtle.
He could sense Berry's complicated mood. Winning the championship was indeed something worthy of celebration. It was not only worthy, but should be celebrated grandly. But Berry was absent. After all, he was not able to appear on the stage to fight for the championship in person. After all, he was not able to Stand on the court and face challenges with your teammates when the team is at its most difficult and dangerous.
What's more, he missed most of the regular season.
Championship, it had his name in it, but he wasn't really involved in it.
A championship trophy is certainly precious and fills a gap in Berry's career; but harvesting a championship trophy in such a way still leaves more or less regrets.
Language is difficult to describe accurately.
The thank you at this moment has even more mixed feelings, because Berry is not sure whether he will be able to fight with Levi again next season——
In the face of injuries, no one can predict the outcome.
But how should Levi respond?
Any words are as light and meaningless as chicken soup for the soul. After all, with the pain of injuries and the unknown, no one can 100% predict the future.
Just like life, everyone is as small as before birth, old age, illness and death.
However, this does not mean that Levi will surrender.
"Hey, I didn't forget our bet."
Levi showed a smile and reminded Berry confidently——
He is still looking forward to next season.
It is a reminder and a challenge.
Indeed, the future is unknown, and some things are difficult and cannot be changed even if they try their best; but this does not mean that they will surrender or give up, because the process leading to the result is as precious as the result.
After all, the long journey to death can also be called life.
This short sentence easily hit his heart. Barry's throat was slightly clogged, and he almost lost his composure, but he still controlled himself, covered himself with an exaggerated smile, and patted his thigh.
"Don't worry, you're ready, haha, just wait."
Next season, they will run together and fight together. They will also face more severe and difficult challenges together. They will also fight to defend the title together——
Defending title.
Just a thought, this word flashed through my mind, and my blood was already boiling uncontrollably. It seemed that I had never really felt the miracle and feat tonight until this moment.
They won.
"Haha, hahaha, we are the champions!"
Berry looked at Levi, his eyes sparkling with incredible excitement and excitement. That sense of reality dragged his ankles from mid-air back to the ground. He felt gravity again, and all his perceptions rushed in like a tide.
Indeed, it is a pity that he was not able to step onto the field and fight with the team; but equally, he still belongs to the team, he still accompanies the team to complete this journey, and he still uses his own Play your own role to complete this battle——
His mark should be left on the championship trophy.
At this moment, they should enjoy, celebrate, and revel.
"Ah, we are the champions!"
The next second, Mahomes had no idea what was happening. He just heard Berry's shout and laughed stupidly, jumping and cheering along with him.
"Champion! Champion!"
One, two, three, four or five, everyone else around them jumped up and started cheering, and it spread in a blink of an eye.
pity. Levi had no way to continue the carnival because the staff came to remind him:
Get ready to go on stage.
Directly in front, a simple stage was temporarily set up to hold the trophy awarding ceremony. Due to limited space, not all players can be on the stage. The team often parties with two or three players as representatives to receive the trophy.
Tonight, the representatives of the Kansas City Chiefs cannot be without the Super Bowl MVP.
Take two steps forward, and Smith and Houston are already waiting there. They will join Levi on the stage to receive the trophy.
Kelsey and Hill were right next to the podium, jumping and cheering one by one. When they saw Levi's arrival, they booed fiercely.
Smith was a little shy and reserved. He looked at Houston and generously stepped forward and punched Levi on the shoulder, but he didn't know how to express his joy. Or Levi was more generous, patting Smith's arm and inviting the team's quarterback to come on stage. A smile bloomed unreservedly at the corners of his mouth.
"champion!"
"Champion, ah ah ah."
A simple sentence made Smith uncontrollably excited.
The award podium was already overcrowded.
In addition to reporters and league staff, Kansas Chiefs representatives have also taken the stage.
Team owner Clark Hunter, team manager Brett Veach, team head coach Andy Reid, etc. all looked over.
Reed looked at his disciples with a look of relief.
But before Reid could speak, Hunter had already stepped forward, staring intently at a figure. Houston and Smith both knowingly got out of the way and watched Hunter give Levi a hug.
"Well done."
Hunter patted Levi's shoulder hard.
Exactly a year ago, when Veach and Reid made some moves in the draft to select Levi with the third overall pick, Hunter almost lost control; if Veach hadn't made a follow-up move and selected Mahomes Si, to maximize the value of his draft pick, I am afraid he has become furious.
But he never expected that the young Li Tanhua would jump out of the cracks in the rocks and bring back the Vince Lombardi Trophy to the Kansas City Chiefs after half a century.
Thousands of words turned into a smile.
Now, Hunter looked at Levi like a brown bear staring at honey.
Levi also showed a generous smile, "It has been a thrilling journey. Thank you to everyone on our team for persisting until the end. No one was left behind, including Mr. Hunter."
Hunter was stunned.
Immediately he understood what Levi meant, laughed happily, patted Levi on the shoulder, without saying anything, turned around and shook hands with Smith and Houston respectively, taking care of everyone in every aspect.
This is what Levi just reminded: credit should not belong to just one person.
Finally, Hunter looked at Levi again, with a meaningful look in his eyes, "You are an interesting guy."
Smith and Houston exchanged glances, with a smile in their eyes, and then Houston approached Levi and said, "Rookie, that's it, you're on the boss's list."
Levi shrugged lightly, "Blacklist or whitelist?"
Haha, hahaha.
Seeing that Levi was still leisurely and joking with them at this time, his calmness and openness were indeed unusual, Smith and Houston both laughed and had to give a thumbs up.
There was no time to continue the conversation. Judging from the rising cheers and screams in the audience, the Vince Lombardi Trophy had been escorted to the podium.
League President Roger Goodell walked out of the queue and came to the front——
Finally, the coronation moment came.
