Chapter 743 Continue to look forward to it
This season, the Kansas Chiefs' pass defense is indeed hard to describe.
It's not that there are no bright spots. Fowler's flash and Jones' growth are both worthy of recognition; however, this is not enough.
On the one hand, the two of them are unable to support the performance of the entire defensive team alone; on the other hand, the performance of the two of them is also intermittent and cannot be connected in a string.
The situation is full of challenges.
Berry has been working hard and persisting, not hoping to be a savior, but hoping to return to his position, fight side by side with the team, and contribute to the team's weak links.
He doesn't think or believe that he can make the team's defensive team reborn, but he is eager to step onto the court and fight with his teammates.
This desire, he thought, would disappear with the passage of time and the difficulty of recovery; but he did not, instead it became more and more urgent and intense.
He already missed last season's playoffs, and he doesn't want to miss this year's again.
The injury healed smoothly, and Berry was finally able to run without pain.
However, the status has not returned.
This is not surprising——
Berry has not played for two full years. Even if he is on the court now, his state, feel, and intuition are all different.
Just because the injury is over, doesn't mean he can become the feared safety again.
Injuries are not such a thing.
In fact, maybe he will never be able to regain his former self. Maybe he will return to the game but never regain his peak form.
This is the most frustrating thing.
However, Berry did not give up or surrender, he continued to fight.
Same as Felix.
Just for a glimmer of hope, he tried his best to burn his whole life.
When Berry learned about Felix's situation, he was silent for a long time without speaking. After saying goodbye to Levi, he went back to training silently.
Until now, Levi still couldn't forget Berry's stubborn back, just like he couldn't forget Felix's tearful and painful face.
He remembered, all of it.
Levi looked at Mahomes with determination on his face.
"Felix can't come to the divisional round, so what does it matter? If we continue to advance, maybe we will have a chance in the conference finals."
"If it doesn't work, let's continue to win, go to the Super Bowl, wait for Felix, wait for Eric, we are always fighting together."
"They are not alone, and neither are we."
Mahomes looked at Levi, involuntarily quietly opening his shoulders and straightening his back.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that not only him, but also the other players could not help but stop. They looked at each other one by one, with a firm look in their eyes.
Saying "come on" is light and powerless, because people often don't know how much effort and effort they need to put in behind this saying, and then face unsatisfactory setbacks and ups and downs, whether they persist or fight, they never It's not just a slogan.
However, if they unite and move forward side by side, then they can continue, step by step, which is what the Kansas chief desperately needs -
A fighting heart.
Reid didn't even need to mobilize. The players consciously put away their mobile phones, completely blocked rumors on social networks, and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to pre-match preparations.
As never before, the Kansas City Chiefs are full of desire for a victory, and the curse and constraints of last season's playoffs don't seem so scary at this time.
So, is this what growth is?
……
"There is no need to be nervous, tomorrow is just a new day, another game, another battle. I know the weight on everyone's shoulders, but trust me, you are ready."
"I believe in you, and I hope you can believe in yourself as much as I believe in you."
"Dismissed, have a good night's rest." After saying that, Reed turned and left.
No long speeches, no chicken soup for the soul, everything is the same as usual.
Tomorrow is Saturday, the day when the wild card round is about to sound.
After watching Reid leave, the players packed up their notebooks and playbooks and prepared to go home.
Levi was leaving the tactical conference room with his friends. His phone vibrated in his pocket. Levi motioned to everyone to stop and answer the phone.
"Hey, Felix."
With a greeting, Mahomes and Kelsey all stopped.
On the phone, Felix's voice was full of energy, exactly like in his memory, "Hey, good evening, Levi!"
"I'm sorry, I know tomorrow is game day, and you must be busy right now. I should be the last person in the city who wants to disturb you, but I have a question that I have to ask you. I can't refuse."
Levi was about to tell Felix "It's okay". In fact, he was very happy because he received this call. He finally heard Felix's energetic voice, and then heard Felix's vigorous words. The words stayed on the tip of his tongue, and he smiled. Gently climbed up to the corner of the mouth.
"Rookie, rookie?"
Not only Levi, but Mahomes and the others also cast questioning looks.
Levi gestured for understanding and mouthed: He sounds very good.
Mahomes clenched his fists heavily and high-fived Kelsey and the others.
Levi, "shoot at me anytime, I'm ready."
Felix, "Can you spare thirty minutes tonight to come to St. George's Church near the hospital?"
Levi was stunned, "Oh, maybe. What, is everything okay?"
"Haha." Felix laughed heartily, "Secret, dear rookie, please allow me to keep a little secret."
Cheerful, wanton, and a little naughty that you don't usually feel.
Levi couldn't help but wonder, what did Felix look like before he fell ill?
Now, when people see Felix, the wheelchair and cancer are always the first to come into view. Before they have a chance to understand him, they have already labeled him and treat him as a patient and a weak person; but in the wheelchair and cancer Besides cancer, he is also a living soul.
A seventeen year old soul.
The phone was hung up.
Levi raised his head and could see the crowd of people looking at him nervously again. He took a deep breath and said, "Oh, Felix sounds fine. He's fine. It's just that he needs to borrow my thirty minutes."
"I don't know, maybe Felix finally got up the courage to confess to the girl he likes, and he needs to borrow the power of our chief?"
cut.
There was a burst of complaints and the atmosphere became cheerful.
Houston patted Levi's arm, "Although Felix may not be able to come to Arrowhead Stadium tomorrow, he will fight with us. You should hurry up and take a look."
Finally, the two next-door neighbors Levi and Mahomes arrived at St. George's Church together with a tow bottle. The three of them looked at the church in front of them——
Calm, normal.
There was nothing fancy about it from the outside, and I still had no clue when I arrived at the scene.
The three people pushed open the church door, and lemon-yellow light fell down. At a glance, they could see the wheelchair at the end of the aisle, and it was Felix's back.
In addition, a small figure stood behind the podium at the end of the aisle. Seeing them, he excitedly waved his hands to say hello——
Anne Gallas.
