Chapter 684: Feeling at Home
“Head, or word?”
The referee held the coin, prepared to toss it, and turned to look at Levi.
Levi's eyes widened, "Sir, I am the home team."
Referee: ...
"Ah, sorry, sorry." The referee also realized that his mind was knotted, and turned to look at Suggs, "Heads, or words?"
Suggs looked like the bottom of a pot and glared at the referee viciously, expressing his strong dissatisfaction——
According to the rules, in overtime coin guessing, the visiting team takes the first pick.
Obviously, the referee just lost his mind.
Levi didn't mind, and showed a bright smile to Suggs, showing the politeness of welcoming guests in a land of oriental etiquette, and made an invitation gesture.
Suggs' chest tightened, and he immediately seemed like he couldn't afford to lose and was careless. This made Suggs almost break his teeth, but in the end he controlled himself, looked at the referee, took a deep breath, and said what he said. The choice, "Head."
After speaking, Suggs looked at Levi again, showed an evil smile, and pointed at his head with his index finger, seeming to hint to Levi:
Beware of concussions.
The referee didn't notice Suggs' little move, he threw the coin directly, opened his hands, and waited for the coin to fall to the ground to avoid cheating——
The sight is all fixed on the coin, rising, rolling, and falling.
The initiative at the start of overtime depends on this, and to some extent, the victory of the entire game may also depend on this coin.
Landing, rolling.
Everyone got out of the way to avoid touching the coin, which might have to be tossed again.
The coin stopped, and in an instant you could feel the scorching gaze of the bustling crowd focused on it.
The referee's voice boomed through the microphone throughout Arrowhead Stadium.
"Character."
"The Kansas City Chiefs won the ball in the first half of overtime..."
boom.
Arrowhead Stadium was like a volcano erupting, releasing incredible energy in an instant. Even after such an intense and thrilling game, the stadium and the city were still cheering and jumping without reservation. The overwhelming heat wave made the stadium The coldness stopped one after another.
In a daze, it seemed that the sun's setting pace had temporarily slowed down.
Levi raised his head and saw Suggs' dark face. He smiled, spread his hands, and shook his head slightly, looking helpless.
Suggs choked on his chest and was about to explode.
But this time, Suggs took control and said, "We'll see."
Without stopping, Suggs turned and left——
Next, "Kansas Chiefs offense VS Baltimore Ravens defense", in other words, Suggs and Levi can settle their accounts right away.
Suggs will make the rookie understand that the offensive rights in overtime are nothing. Even if Lady Luck is on the side of the Kansas Chiefs today, the Baltimore Ravens can still snatch the victory from Lady Luck and win from Kansas City. Get away intact.
Since you are calling for a storm, you will get a storm.
Anyway, the Baltimore Ravens defense can make the Kansas Chiefs offense feel frustrated throughout the game, and now they can still make Mahomes and Levi continue to feel frustrated.
Secretly, Suggs also began to sharpen his knife.
"Phew, we all need to take a deep breath."
"In overtime, the Kansas Chiefs took the lead in attacking. It happened to be, 'Kansas Chiefs Offense VS Baltimore Ravens Defense.' This was a strong duel, and it was also one of the main themes throughout the game."
"In fact, with four minutes and four seconds left before the end of the game, it was the Kansas City Chiefs offense that once again showed the league's best energy. Relying on Levi's wonderful personal performance, it was able to pull out its teeth. It destroyed the Baltimore Ravens defense and won the championship. Touchdown to tie the game at the last minute.”
"That's why we came here."
"Now, such a matchup kicks off the overtime. It's really exciting and I have to look forward to it." "Tony, what do you think?"
Nantz still looked excited. After speaking eloquently, his mouth went dry. He turned around and finally handed the microphone to his partner.
Same goes for Romo.
As someone who has experienced it, Romo clearly understands the difficulty and excitement of overtime.
"In overtime, a key thing that the offensive team needs to pay attention to is how to grasp the balance between not making mistakes and taking bold risks."
In the commentary booth, Romo and Nantz were taking the time to build up the atmosphere.
On the edge of the court, Levi was drinking water and talking...joking.
"...No, no, no, Travis, you should update your dance moves, otherwise you might reveal your identity as a baby boomer."
Levi looked serious and then imitated Kelsey's Crayon Shin-chan elephant dance.
Kelsey looked innocent, "Me? Baby boomer?"
The so-called baby boomers refer specifically to the generation born after the end of World War II. The youngest ones are already over fifty this year.
Kelsey puffed up her chest, "People say I'm younger than you."
Porphyrin, porphyrin.
There were boos all around, and even Mahomes, who was slightly nervous and distracted, couldn't hold back and booed Kelsey.
Mahomes complained, "Travis, at least shave first."
Kelsey didn't mind either and started to dance a horse riding dance, "What about this one? 'Gangnam Style'?"
Hahaha.
The group burst into laughter. Levi quietly distanced himself and avoided him with an "I don't know you" look. One or two other players followed suit.
As a result, the area around Kelsey emptied out, and the poor guy spread his hands and said, "Hey, you guys are discriminating against Justin."
Houston:? ? ? What kind of sudden disaster is this?
Looking at Houston's innocent expression, even Reid couldn't hold back and raised the corners of his mouth.
Assistant coach Childress quietly approached Burns and looked at the relaxed and relaxed Burns, "Rookie...have you always been like this?"
Burns thought about it carefully, "It's been like this since the first appearance."
Childress gently raised his chin, "He is indeed a natural leader."
In the first overtime, everyone in the Kansas City Chiefs was indeed a little nervous, from players to coaches. Although Reid has always remained calm and calm, like a needle in the sea, Childress knew the pressure on Reid.
The uncertainty of overtime is one thing, and the impact and pressure brought by the Baltimore Ravens is another.
In this game, the Kansas Chiefs really played very hard.
At least, unlike the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams games, the Kansas Chiefs have a chance to win overtime; but here’s the problem, because no one can predict overtime, the same game, a different atmosphere, just rely on A burst of youthful enthusiasm cannot solve all problems.
There are some things that just can’t be helped, such as lack of experience.
Such games, such dilemmas and challenges, are indeed the only way to grow for the Kansas Chiefs, who are dominated by sophomores and third-year players.
But what if we still lose in overtime?
I can’t imagine it.
Just a thought made me shiver.
Uncontrollably, the team atmosphere is still a little tense, and even if they win the right to attack, there is still no way to relax——
What if the offensive team doesn't score?
Compared to the penalty shootout in football, NFL overtime is about heartbeat.
However, Levi noticed that in a few words, his tense nerves slowly relaxed, which was more effective than any chicken soup for the soul.
