Chapter 793 All in one go
Beep——
The whistle sounded and the referee announced that the first half was over.
This disaster has finally come to an end, and Arrowhead Stadium can take a brief breather.
Jenna took a deep breath, her heart beating wildly, then took another deep breath and looked at the bright red number on the scoreboard.
"14:0".
After all, she couldn't control herself and stood up suddenly.
"I want to go home."
Jeff was startled and called to his wife, "Jenna?"
Jenna felt like she couldn't breathe, "I've had enough of this."
Watching Annie face a long, hard battle with almost no chance of winning, and finally losing tragically and tragically, a complete loss, and now she has to witness the Chief of Kansas go through all this?
She can't do it.
"Maybe it's all because of me?" Jenna was a little flustered.
"I am the disaster, I am the curse, I am the culprit of the current situation. I should leave, for the sake of the chief and for myself."
As he spoke, he tried to leave.
Jenna was panicking to identify the direction, only to find that there were people all around her—
She couldn't breathe.
Jeff grabbed her, "Jenna...Jenna."
"Jenna!"
Jenna was stunned and seemed to finally calm down.
After Jeff finished his roar, he realized that all the spectators around him were looking over, but at this moment, he could not pay attention to other people's eyes.
"Jenna, Annie didn't give up, and neither did the Chief."
"Remember? Annie fought until the end and smiled until the end. We will not give up because we can't let Annie down."
Jenna was avoiding her eyes and refusing to look at Jeff. She was still afraid, and she still didn’t have the courage to face the possibility of being heartbroken again——
If the Kansas City Chiefs also lose, does that mean that Annie's last dream is shattered?
Jenna didn't dare to face it.
"Hey, trust the team."
Next to him, someone shouted.
This time, Jenna looked over and saw a strange fan.
"It's a difficult situation, it's terrible, even the weather isn't helping, but if anyone can turn it around, it's our chief."
"That's right, last year we were 0:21 behind at halftime, but we still won."
"Today is different. Maybe we can't turn the situation around and end up losing and failing to defend the title, but I know that the New England Patriots can win, but there is absolutely no way they can give us the victory."
"Yes, yes, we will fight back in the second half, and we will fight with all our strength until the last minute."
“Whether we win or lose, we will fight with the boys at Arrowhead Stadium until the end.”
"Hey, what did the rookie say?"
One after another, Jenna was overwhelmed. There were voices from all directions, and then they all shouted in unison.
"I'm not confident, but we will win!"
Hahaha!
A burst of laughter.
Jenna was a little confused. She thought the fans would complain, be disappointed, be angry, or at least be nervous and worried. Such a first half was worth worrying about.
However, they didn't. Not only did they not, but each of them was optimistic and positive, brave and perseverant, holding their heads high and facing difficulties and challenges calmly.
In them, Jenna seemed to see...Anne.
A warm current surged into his chest.
Jenna looked left and right, and finally looked at Jeff.
Jeff took a deep breath, "No matter what the outcome, we will face it together. This is what we promised Annie, remember?"
…
The rain keeps falling, never ending.
The patter of rain blocked out all the hustle and bustle of Arrowhead Stadium, and the locker room seemed to be exiled to another time and space in the universe——
Extraordinarily quiet.
Not only was it absolutely quiet, there were wheezing, coughing, metal clashing, and footsteps, but it was precisely the constant flow of such trivial sounds, but no one spoke, that made the locker room more and more prominent. Quiet.
A kind of silence. A kind of frustration. A kind of depression. A slump.
Reed knew that they were facing a new dilemma, which was also another shackle on the road of growth and transformation:
The fighting spirit, spirit, and will were all in place. Before the start of the game, the high morale had already broken through the sky; but in an unexpected accident, He was defeated in front of a stronger, more mature and more experienced opponent.
One burst of momentum will lead to failure, and three times it will be exhausted.
Once you encounter a frontal attack and fail to complete a breakthrough, you may never be able to break through again, and you will be imprisoned in this shackles for the rest of your life.
In the history of the NFL, there are countless strong teams that have stopped at this stage.
Recently, there are the Indianapolis Colts led by Andrew Luck, the Atlanta Falcons led by Matt Ryan, the Carolina Panthers led by Cam Newton, and so on.
Are they not good enough? Don't they have talent? Are they not strong enough?
No, they had everything in place and were ready to reach the Super Bowl, but they encountered such a threshold, and then they were never able to rise again.
There are the New York Giants led by Manning Jr., the Pittsburgh Steelers led by Roethlisberger, the Seattle Seahawks led by Wilson, the Baltimore Ravens led by Flacco, and so on.
They have reached the Super Bowl, maybe even more than once, but they have never been able to break through the psychological shackles and remain stuck between excellent teams and absolutely strong teams, between winning the championship and establishing a dynasty, without being embarrassed. Always live in your own shadow.
Now, the same goes for the Kansas City Chiefs——
In the sixth week of the regular season this season, the Kansas City Chiefs were inextricably matched up with the New England Patriots, and they faced the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers later on. However, they were back to the predicament of the divisional round a year ago, in New England. The Patriots were completely thrown away.
It felt like I had been working hard for a whole year, thinking I had grown and transformed, only to receive a slap in the face and suddenly wake up from a dream.
The surging impact easily destroyed the defense line.
If you are not careful, this may be the beginning of collapse, or the bud of psychological shadow.
The position is different, the state is different, and the predicament faced is completely different. The game in front of me is different from being eliminated by the New England Patriots in the divisional round two years ago, and it is also different from last year's half-time deficit in the divisional round and the desperate comeback to defeat the New England Patriots. It seemed familiar, but it was a new dilemma.
The problem is that the pre-game mobilization has pushed the spirit to a new high. Because of Anne, everyone on the team came on stage with the belief that they must win. So, how should we mobilize the atmosphere now, and how should we awaken the fighting spirit and ignite hope?
Reed was lost in thought.
Reid knows that the situation is difficult, but he also knows that after breaking, there is always an opportunity. This team, which is mainly composed of young people in second and third grade, may face a real opportunity to transform. Next, we will see how he guides this group of children to complete their transformation. breakthrough.
My heart is in turmoil.
On the surface, everything is calm.
Reed remained calm and calm, and then he confirmed his idea——
Let’s start with tactics.
To be honest, in the first half, the Kansas Chiefs did not play badly. Judging from the scores and statistics, it seemed terrible. However, Reid believed that there were no problems with tactics and player performance. They just lacked a little luck. They and the New England Patriots The gap between them is still very weak.
The score is not a problem.
All they need is a breakthrough. One chance is enough, and the situation can be completely reversed.
