Chapter 691 The Transformation of the King
"Before this game, even though the Kansas City Chiefs were still ranked as the No. 1 seed in the American League, they were still labeled as a 'false team' because of their losses to the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams."
"This scene is so similar to last season. It seems like we are experiencing it all over again."
"And similarly, this time the Kansas City Chiefs also proved themselves under pressure."
"Until four minutes before the end of the game, the Kansas Chiefs were still behind; but in the last period, the defending champion went from offense to defense and back to offense, hitting three waves in a row."
“A touchdown pass to tie the game.”
"One strikeout, sending it to overtime."
"A running touchdown, a game-winner."
"At the last moment, the Kansas City Chiefs showed the explosive power of the No. 1 seed in the American League, completely shutting down the Baltimore Ravens on both offense and defense."
"Calm. Strong. Domineering."
"In the current Kansas City Chiefs, we can truly see the transformation of a strong man."
"Everything - it's hard to believe what I'm going to say next, but it's the truth. It all comes from Levi, the new captain of the Kansas City Chiefs this season."
"Two touchdowns, both from Levi, not only a receiving touchdown and a running touchdown; but also gave this team a backbone in a difficult situation."
"The most incredible thing is that in the second quarter of the game, Levi was injured and left the field with a concussion crisis. After eliminating the crisis, he returned to the game. The Baltimore Ravens defensive team's targeted defense still caused Levi to suffer. However, Levi Wei finally found a way to return."
"Wow."
“Listen, this is the sound coming from Arrowhead Stadium—”
Thousands of words, no matter how much praise or compliments, can never compare to the voice from the fans.
So real, so intense, so crazy.
Felix sang at the top of his lungs: "He is here, he is there, he is absent countless times, he is the edge traveler, Levi Levi Levi."
He knew that his eyes were filled with tears now, like a lunatic; but he just couldn't control himself.
When the cancer cells came back again, the doctor announced his death sentence. He might die in one year at most or six months at the fastest.
Although they are still working hard, they are still fighting, mother refuses to give up, and he refuses to surrender; but all efforts seem to be in vain.
In the dead of night, he would also think that maybe he should give up, there was no need to continue struggling, and there was no need to let everyone suffer anymore.
However, he was unwilling to do so.
He was only eighteen years old, and he still had countless things to accomplish. He didn't even have a crush. His life had just begun and was already coming to an end.
He... was really unwilling.
So, he is struggling, he is persisting, like a cockroach.
But now, he knew that there was another person who was always fighting, refusing to give up, refusing to surrender, and always going all out no matter what the outcome was.
It was him who made him believe that the dream still existed, made him believe that the process could be better than the ending, made him believe that the value of depth and breadth could be discovered in the same length of life, and made him believe that even if he knew the ending through spoilers in advance, It doesn't mean that life is meaningless.
So, he is still here, ten months have passed since the doctor's diagnosis, and he is still burning himself at Arrowhead Stadium.
Killer! victory!
The championship heart in the Kansas Chiefs' chest is still beating, even if the entire league is not optimistic about their defense of the title, and countless voices believe that their championship last season was just luck; but they still win in their own way. Keep pace and move forward unswervingly.
"The heart of a champion" is not only about championships, but also about faith, fighting spirit, determination and perseverance, a sincerity that refuses to give up, refuses to surrender, and fights to the end.
One sentence, another sentence. One sound, another sound.
Felix sang his heart out.
Karen noticed that Felix was usually so sensible, worried about what they would think, and never showed vulnerability or sadness in front of them. He never cried; but she knew that that eighteen-year-old child carried too much on his shoulders. Too much, she needs to be stronger than him.
Slightly, Karen straightened her back, as if she didn't see the tears in Felix's eyes, and sang along.
"He's here, he's there, he's everywhere, he's the Edgewalker, Levi Levi Levi."
Again and again.
The whole place roared.
For a moment, Mosley failed to hold on and fell to his knees directly. His eyes were filled with disbelief and his brain was roaring. He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him:
What...what's going on?
In the end, he didn't even touch the corner of Levi's clothes, and then he lost like this, that's it?
"24:30".
On the big screen above Arrowhead Stadium, the score was so clear and so dazzling.
In overtime, if one side scores a touchdown, it will directly kill the game. There is no need to kick extra points. The game is over when the touchdown is scored.
In front of you, that's it.
It was clear that the Baltimore Ravens were in an invincible position, and they had countless possible escape routes, but they never expected that they would retreat again and again, with no way out, and then... there would be no more...
Lamar Jackson stood there in a daze, without speaking for a long time. His mind went blank. In the true sense, he had no idea.
No shame, no anger, no annoyance, nothing, just completely frozen in place, like a puppet.
Lost.
Lost again and again.
How many times has this happened? Jackson can't even remember clearly, because losing so much seems to have become a habit.
But what's even more frightening is that Jackson has no troubles in his heart, and is even indifferent to the matter of "losing becomes a habit." Will entering the NFL still be unable to change his destiny?
There was a wail in my ears, it was Edwards.
"It's over, it's over. Now I'm going to be laughed to death by that rookie. I don't want to attend the post-game press conference anymore. That rookie will definitely not let me go. I can't talk to him."
"I'm so innocent and kind, and he can torture me to death with just a few words. I won't live anymore."
With that said, Edwards really fell to the ground, slumped his shoulders with a look of despair, hugged his helmet, howled for a while, and there were no tears in sight.
Jackson finally came to his senses——
Wake up! Lamar, wake up. You won’t be scared out of your wits after just one game, right? This is their first confrontation in the professional arena. There will be many, many opportunities in the future. He will one day come back and defeat that guy in an upright manner and prove his strength.
Just look at today and you will know that Levi is not perfect, not even that strong. The Baltimore Ravens almost defeated them, and they are just a little short of the victory finish line; you don’t need to wait too long, maybe next season. One encounter can change the outcome.
One day, sooner or later, but that day will come.
We can’t admit defeat now, absolutely not.
Don't bow your head, otherwise the crown will fall off.
Taking a deep breath, Jackson regained some sense. He needed to face Levi head-on. He needed to prove that he was not scared out of his mind.
So, what about Levi?
