Chapter 795: Fearless in wind and rain
The patter is pattering, the pattering is pattering.
The rain is not getting heavier, but this is not good news. In the bitterly cold January, the continuous water vapor makes the hands and feet colder and colder. If you just sit there for a while, your whole body will feel cold unconsciously. Curl up into a small ball.
The more I sit, the colder it gets.
For a second, Jenna couldn't help but doubt life, why are they suffering here?
Turning her head, Jenna saw Felix at a glance and couldn't suppress her worry.
However, Karen seemed to have thought about it and did not stop Felix. Instead, she accompanied Felix throughout the whole process and stayed at the scene unswervingly——
As if tomorrow is the end of the world.
It's as if the Kansas City Chiefs' game is Felix's battle.
Involuntarily, Jenna felt a little envious.
If time went over again, she would also like to come to Arrowhead Stadium with Annie to watch the game. If Annie came to watch the last round of the divisional round...
Ifs one by one, my head is full.
Jenna shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of all the thoughts in her mind. She could not let herself fall into such a predicament, otherwise she would be unable to extricate herself.
At this moment, there was another commotion at the entrance to the players tunnel——
Players, are you ready to take the stage?
Levi has been moving his body. Although they have experienced a lot of cold weather, today's situation is really bad. His body temperature has not been raised, so that his body continues to tremble slightly.
During halftime, the team doctor checked and found some signs of hypothermia that needed attention.
What is really serious is veterans like Houston and Berry. The continued deterioration of physical functions with age is inevitable. Coupled with injuries of all sizes, they are somewhat unable to resist.
Team doctors suggested that Houston should play less time in the second half.
But Houston refused. He wanted to continue playing and was determined.
Levi just drank two bowls of chicken soup——
Not chicken soup for the soul, but literally, real chicken soup.
Now, my fingers and toes can finally feel some warmth.
However, standing at the exit of the players' tunnel, there is a rainy world outside. You don't even need to step forward, the cold wind and water vapor blowing against your face can easily wake up goose bumps and tighten your muscles slightly.
When I raised my head, it was cloudy and hazy, and there was still no sunshine.
The more difficult and extreme it is, the more it can stimulate Li Wei's fighting spirit.
"Rookie, what are you thinking about now?" Mahomes is also moving his body. His fingers are stiff, which has a greater impact on the passing feel, so he is holding a warm baby in his hand to soften his fingers.
Off to the side, Kelsey said, "Miami. I miss Miami now."
Levi shook his head, "Atlanta."
Mahomes and Kelsey were slightly stunned. Although Atlanta is also located in the south, with an average temperature of 18 degrees Celsius in winter, Atlanta is obviously not a vacation destination.
Moreover, Atlanta occasionally experiences freezing rain in winter, and the freezing rain in the winter of 2014 was even more damaging than blizzards and cold waves——
Freezing rain, this is a magic attack, just like what Kansas City is facing at this moment.
However, Levi smiled and said, "The Mercedes-Benz Superdome can be an indoor stadium, right?"
The Mercedes-Benz Superdome in Atlanta was completed just last year. It is the most advanced and freshest large-scale stadium in the entire league.
The stadium has an openable roof that can be closed at any time in case of bad weather, allowing the game to be played indoors.
This year's Super Bowl will be held in Atlanta.
Suddenly, Mahomes and Kelsey both understood.
Vacation?
No, no, no, the vacation can wait. Levi has more important goals now.
Bumping Mahomes and Kelce with his shoulders, Levi turned to look at the other players and raised his arms in greeting. "go ahead!"
The first one, Levi bravely and bravely walked into the winter rain with his head high.
Rustling, rustling, Arrowhead Stadium was in commotion again.
Facing the wind, rain, and cold, the fans in the audience worked together to sing loudly——
“…at the end of the storm there is a golden sky and the sweet song of the lark.”
Involuntarily and uncontrollably, Jenna's heart surged with enthusiasm, and she sang loudly before she realized it.
“Go forward, through the strong wind; go forward, through the heavy rain.
Perhaps, the dream will eventually be disappointed.
Go ahead, go ahead! With hope, you will never walk alone! "
The second half of this federation final has begun.
In the first half, the New England Patriots took the lead in attacking; in the second half, the Kansas Chiefs offense started the game.
The first kickoff put the Kansas Chiefs in an unfavorable situation again.
On the kickoff, the New England Patriots made full use of the bad weather and kicked a low ball. It landed early and rolled randomly on the grass. A group of players chased it, but no one was able to control it.
Finally, the football flew to a stop thirteen yards before the end zone.
Belichick is still good at using special teams to create trouble for his opponents.
Therefore, the Kansas Chiefs offensive team must start their attack from their own 13-yard line. In the continuous rainy weather, if you don't pay attention to the mistake, the result may be a safety score, or worse, the opponent's defensive team will score a touchdown.
Then Levi came on the scene.
Ten yards on first down, running the ball, Lee maintained the ball, encountered an interception, and only advanced three yards.
Seven yards on second down, running the ball, Lee maintained the ball, four double teams, only gained two yards.
Third gear and five yards.
As soon as he came on stage, he encountered a third-level dilemma.
The starting point is the kickoff created by the New England Patriots' special teams. In such a dangerous position and in such bad weather, Reid has to push forward a little more down-to-earth to make the starting area as solid and safe as possible. The way to avoid being passive at the beginning is bad enough if you don't score, but it will be a disaster if you continue to lose points.
Therefore, Reed chose to attack on the ground.
Moreover, Reed deliberately did not use Damien, who was good at positional warfare, and sold a small smoke bomb.
But Belichick was not fooled. He saw through Reid's tactics in two consecutive defenses in advance, laid out a dragnet, and waited for Levi to come to his door.
"...The situation is a bit delicate."
"Judging from the number of yards advanced, Levi did not show his advancement efficiency; but Levi still advanced five yards in the face of the key defense's pursuit and interception. This means that the Kansas Chiefs left the front of the red zone and are now at the 18-yard line. Now we can use our offensive tactics more freely.”
"So, the New England Patriots' defensive team was not able to completely stop Levi, which is not an excellent defense. Now the Kansas Chiefs have more options. On third down and five yards, the opportunity is in the hands of the home team."
Yard by yard, inch by inch, there is the destruction of big numbers and the tangle and stalemate of small numbers. This is the essence of rugby.
On third down and five yards, the tension was pushed to its extreme, and Arrowhead Stadium erupted with incredible energy.
"fly!"
"fly!"
A muffled thunder exploded above his head, and Mahomes also roared——
"attack!"
It was not inferior to thunder, and it exploded in the mud on the ground.
