Chapter 771 Closely connected
Praise, pursuit, affirmation, and bustling voices once again pushed Levi to a peak.
In the four major North American leagues, people appreciate confidence, strength, and positivity. Humility does not work in the NFL; but everything has two sides to the same coin. If people are as big-mouthed as Sherman and Ramsey, people will I also hope they can accurately understand themselves and respect their opponents.
There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance, humility and humility.
How to grasp the appropriateness is a matter of opinion.
Levi's public image has always been confident and sunny. Since he switched careers to the football field, he has reached the top in less than three years. He has been an NCAA champion and a Super Bowl champion. He has been enjoying great success all the way. It was just when the spring breeze came and horseshoe disease hit him at a young age. Succeed and conquer the world.
Since entering the NFL, he has shown an upright attitude against any team or opponent.
But this time, in an atmosphere of comprehensive praise and overwhelming admiration, Levi stepped on the brakes and applauded his opponents with a humble and objective attitude. In an instant, he won the applause of the media and was at odds with those who were arrogant and arrogant. The contrast between the empty-handed young people is stark.
No wonder, even Brees praised Levi for becoming a true leader.
Levi:? Is this okay?
Unexpectedly, but within reason, at the post-game press conference between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts, the New England Patriots became the focus of questions. Whether they admit it or not, and whether they like it or not, this That's where the New England Patriots currently stand in the league.
However, not all questions revolve around the New England Patriots.
"Levi, in the seventeenth week of the regular season and the first week of the playoffs, you took two full weeks off. Today you returned to the starting lineup. People were worried that your condition might not be adjusted to the best immediately, but obviously not. Quite the opposite. , you showed a strong desire to win and showed your strongest form from the opening stage. Is there any reason for this? ”
A routine question, and other reporters rolled their eyes: There is no need to waste time with such a boring question. When you hear it, you can tell that this is the struggle of the local Kansas City media to regain the focus.
However, I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.
"Yes, this game is a little different. I am not only fighting for myself and the team, but also for the fans living in this city."
"Annie..."
In front of the TV, Annie exclaimed: Ah!
She covered her mouth tightly, unable to believe what she heard.
Jenna and Jeff were also stunned.
"Felix..."
Felix clenched his fists and cheered, "Fly!"
Karen didn't expect it, her heart began to beat wildly, her mind was roaring, and she stared at the TV screen intently, not daring to move.
"The guys at the Old Oak Tavern..."
Phew!
The Old Oak Tavern was shaken instantly, and everyone raised their hands and glasses, and cheered.
Anderson and West stood at the bar, watching the scene quietly. Inadvertently, their eyes met in the corner of their eyes, and they both laughed.
“And the residents who live on this land down to earth and conscientiously.”
“They come to Arrowhead Stadium every Sunday and show their support with all their enthusiasm, and we’ve become a part of their lives.”
"Similarly, without them, we would just be a group of workers earning a million-dollar annual salary to play ball..."
Ha ha.
In front of the TV wall in the supermarket, in front of the checkout counter in the cafe, the checkout line at the convenience store, the cleaners hanging on the outer wall of the office building wiping the glass and looking at the office TV through the window, and the workers next to the factory assembly line preparing to go back to work again , everyone paused to pay attention to a post-game press conference, and then collectively burst into laughter—a million-dollar-a-year wage earner didn’t sound so bad after all.
The same goes for the reporters in the press conference room, who couldn't stop laughing.
"Without them, it's just a game and a sport, nothing less but nothing more."
"It is precisely their presence that makes everything different. We are fighting for something more valuable and meaningful. The outcome of a game is far more than that. It may be what they have been looking forward to for a week, or it may be It’s a little bit of hope in the endless busyness and fatigue.”
"A game may be the only time a father and son are alone together, and rugby may be the sport that unites a family."
"We need to feel the weight of the game."
"It's a tough game for us, we're playing against a good team, but at the end of the day, we're playing against another group of human beings, human beings like us, so it shouldn't be such a bad test."
"But for Annie, for Felix, and for the group of friends around them, their opponent is cancer and death. It is a difficult battle. To be honest, I don't know how to win. ”
"However, they did not give up. They were fighting and doing their best. Even if they were not yet adults and needed to face a battle with disparity in strength early, they still faced the challenge with their heads held high."
"I admire them and respect them. I hope I can fight like them. Therefore, I step onto the court and do my best. I hope I will not be ashamed of this jersey and the number 23."
"And I will fight to the end because we are chiefs who don't know how to give up or surrender."
Snap, snap, snap.
Bang bang bang!
Applause, thunder.
Felix took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath. His nose was still sore, and he lowered his head to hide himself.
Karen patted Felix on the shoulder and wanted to say something but finally gave up. She straightened her back slightly and looked at the TV screen firmly.
Annie grinned and clapped her hands vigorously with enthusiasm. When she turned her head, Annie saw Jenna hurriedly taking out a tissue to wipe her tears. There was a bitter taste on the tip of her tongue and her eyes were a little moist.
She was worried about her mother. What would her mother do if she left?
But Annie did not let her emotions collapse, and her smile became brighter and brighter, "Haha, dad, look, mom is crying, mom is crying!"
Jenna looked at Annie in disbelief, "I didn't, you saw it wrong."
Jeff also looked over, and Jenna's slightly red and swollen eyes couldn't be concealed at all. He also laughed happily. Although Jenna warned with her eyes, Jeff hid behind Annie and followed his daughter to activate the taunting skills.
Jenna opened her mouth slightly and looked at Annie and Jeff. After all, she couldn't hold it back. The corners of her mouth raised and she laughed. But to her surprise, the tears that had stopped fell down again. She couldn't control it and started crying again. Laughing again, she felt like she was not mentally normal.
"Oh, God." Jenna sighed looking up to the sky.
Anderson let out a long breath and finally controlled himself. When he turned his head, he saw West who was secretly rubbing his eyes to hide himself.
West noticed the gaze, quickly arranged himself, pretended that nothing happened, looked at the noise of applause in the bar, and said in a subtle way, "This atmosphere."
Anderson smiled and said meaningfully, "I told you, he's worth it."
West was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but laugh, and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
