Chapter 676: Heart-thumping
Assault!
Kickoff had just been announced, but the Baltimore Ravens defense was already fully on the offensive, launching a six-man raid without warning.
The Baltimore Ravens only left one middle linebacker to guard Levi——
Mosley.
The other linebackers all joined the ranks of the defensive front. They were dislocated and worked together. They used dazzling tactical layout and division of labor to form absolute pressure with their numerical advantage. They broke through frontally and unreasonably tore through the pockets of the Kansas City Chiefs in one fell swoop, like locusts crossing the border. A full-scale invasion.
Strong. Sudden. It was already planned. Seize the opportunity.
Tear.
The pocket is broken, and black figures can be seen from all directions quickly stepping forward to press, and Mahomes is in crisis.
So, what to do?
Although Reed did not 100% anticipate Hubble's move, Reed was not surprised by Hubble's preemptive strike and was well prepared.
Mahomes is taking a step back. He is taking a step back. There is darkness in front of him and smoke everywhere. Not to mention reading the defense and looking for the passing target. If he steps a little slower, he may be swallowed by this black shadow.
But Mahomes didn't panic. He turned around and handed the football to Levi without hesitation or hesitation. The whole action seemed crisp and clean.
It appears that this is a run-the-ball tactic.
Although the Baltimore Ravens chose to raid, the Kansas Chiefs used running tactics to break through from the front. Seeing the Baltimore Ravens defensive players react in time for the second time, they immediately changed direction and prepared to surround Levi——
Regardless of Mahomes or Levi, the locusts all swarmed, and the final result was the same, and maybe not even the bones were left.
Things are a little strange.
After Levi took control of the football, he did not show his running back posture and immediately looked for a breakthrough. Instead, he moved laterally. Mahomes also moved laterally. His every move was completely copied and pasted, making the two look like they were running side by side in short track speed skating. The players were instantly indistinguishable.
Then, at that moment, Levi and Mahomes separated, one to the left and one to the right.
His vision was in a trance, and he slowly realized that the football was still in Mahomes' hands.
From start to finish, the football was in Mahomes’ hands——
In a fake handoff, Mahomes transferred all the firepower to Levi. Levi served as a decoy to divert the attention of the Baltimore Ravens' raid, thus giving Mahomes time to read the defense twice. In a flash of lightning. , Mahomes is ready.
A fake run and a real pass.
One word, "fast", is tit for tat with the fierceness and toughness of the Baltimore Ravens, but it has gained precious breathing space in the stormy sea.
Mahomes paused, raised his hand and prepared to pass the ball.
If the short pass is connected again at this time, it will be different from other short passes this afternoon, because the Baltimore Ravens defensive front line is all pressing forward, and the second-line defense has evolved into a one-on-one marking. Once the pass is successfully connected, the Kansas Chiefs' The player receiving the ball can gain space to continue advancing.
In an instant, the Baltimore Ravens, the league's top defensive front line, caught up again. After the second reaction, the third reaction immediately followed, stopping and turning, turning and stopping, like a waltz, spinning and jumping with eyes closed and holding breath. , muscles tightened, and pounced on Mahomes again.
Close combat!
On the verge of breaking out!
Two black figures appeared directly in front of Mahomes, with his hands raised high and swaying from side to side like windshield wipers. While interfering with the passing vision, he was preparing to block and intercept. Even if he could not complete the sack immediately, he could still Clever use of experience to break up passes.
Mahomes paused, and withdrew his right hand, which was about to pass the ball, turned around and lightly threw it diagonally backward——
The whole audience was dumbfounded.
Even Nantz and Romo in the commentary booth were shocked, let alone everyone else?
The football, like a naughty elf, got into Levi's arms lively and cheerfully, and the number 23 figure had left the pocket and stood on the outside.
Directly ahead is a smooth road.
Oops! The Baltimore Ravens defensive team collectively sounded the alarm. They pressed forward and launched a surprise attack. However, they never expected that they would be led by the Kansas Chiefs who had prepared early. Now they abandoned their center of gravity and charged forward completely. Instead, they completely lost the initiative and were unable to follow. Transfer rhythm on football.
The second reaction, the third reaction, but it was too late for the fourth reaction.
However, there is one exception.
Mosley: Look at me.
Mosley's eyes were always firmly locked on Levi's full attention and quick reaction. He stared at Levi intently and followed Levi's movements step by step. No matter how dazzling the interaction between Levi and Mahomes was and how fake it was, Mosley just stared. Leaving Li Wei alone.
Step up, turn, and pounce forward.
A series of movements, flowing smoothly, the figure of No. 23 is already close at hand.
Mosley: Hey, demo, I can knock you over the first time, and I can knock you over the second time. Sorry, I'm a little too strong, please bear with me.
Closer, closer.
Mosley finally realized something was wrong——
Levi. Not close.
Logically speaking, Levi is prepared to run the ball, whether horizontally or vertically. He always needs to move, find a breakthrough, and push forward.
But Levi didn't.
Now Mosley is approaching Levi unilaterally. Wait, what does this mean?
“Hehe.”
Mosley seemed to be able to see the rising smile at the corner of Levi's mouth under the helmet, and his heart sank suddenly——
A heart palpitation. Oops, is this what heartbeat feels like?
Levi threw his right hand lightly, and the football came out of his hand.
Actually!
Mosley was completely stunned, braked suddenly, and tried to straighten his knees, stand upright, and stretch out his hands to destroy the pass. However, his center of gravity could not be turned in a short time, and he changed from moving horizontally to standing vertically, and got stuck.
Then, Mosley stood there stupidly, watching the football pass over his head and fly back.
-Kelsey.
Behind him, Kelsey had already shaken off Humphrey. Obviously, Humphrey also made a mistake in his prediction. He thought Mahomes was going to pass the ball to the deep area. After being frustrated for a whole game, Mahomes finally couldn't hold back and chose the long pass. For Humphrey Abandoning Kelsey and storming out.
As a result, Kelsey formed a gap, easily completed the ball, and continued to advance with the ball.
Trick attack, the Kansas City Chiefs chose the trick attack without warning, "Chief's special offer", swaying the Baltimore Ravens with a four-two punch. Hubble's desperate move to reverse the attack instead became a gap for the Kansas Chiefs to counterattack.
Kelsey, run wild.
Fortunately, Humphrey reacted quickly and made up for his misjudgment. Together with the help from his teammates, the two of them worked together to push Kelsey out of the boundary and prevent Kelsey from driving straight in and causing more damage.
Despite this, Kelsey still easily advanced 13 yards and took the first offense like a bag, responding to the Baltimore Ravens' provocation with an absolutely strong attitude.
The game is not over, and the Kansas Chiefs are not ready to give up.
To be more precise, the Kansas City Chiefs are here to win.
boom!
In a moment, Arrowhead Stadium was rekindled and rejuvenated. This group of Kansas City's most die-hard and loyal supporters returned to the top from the trough, and only needed a special offer from the Chiefs.
