Chapter 1367: Chapter 1366: A Warm Welcome
DeShaun Watson doesn’t like Li Wei.
This is a fact, and he isn’t prepared to hide his feelings, not even with superficial pleasantries.
He doesn’t like Li Wei, nor does he like Lamar Jackson, and he dislikes even more the so-called bundled label of “2016 NCAA Heisman Iron Triangle”.
Because under this label, he is the supporting character, the backdrop to highlight how brilliant and unbelievable others are.
But why?
He is the protagonist, he is the favored one of heaven, he is the future of the league, he is the king whom everyone should kneel before in worship.
He will make everyone acknowledge this fact and pay for their ignorance and arrogance, he will make the entire league crawl at his feet.
He says it, he does it!
Josh Allen? Throughout the season praised by the league, with many expressing he is the fastest-growing quarterback of this season, and showing potential to become a top quarterback — lost in the wildcard game, knocked out.
Lamar Jackson? Commands wind and rain, unrivaled, perfect quarterback model and future of the league, the buzz and praise push him to the altar — eliminated in the division match, becoming history.
See, this is his ability, this is his true face!
Next is Patrick Mahomes and Li Wei, and they’re no exception, all will become stepping stones for him to achieve unrivaled glory and wash away disgrace, proving his dominance in the league to usher in the Watson era!
Li Wei, oh Li Wei, did you hear that, the approaching footsteps of history, he is coming, he is about to defeat Li Wei at Arrowhead Stadium with a historic posture, are you afraid?
Thus, openly and confidently, Watson dropped a bombshell.
“I’m here to defeat Li Wei. I will watch his heartbroken appearance with a blank expression.”
After speaking, Watson had an expressionless look, lifted his right hand to wipe away the non-existent tears at the corner of his eye, those lifeless, dead fish eyes were the highlight —
Meme, instantly went viral, spreading extensively across social media, mocked as the “King’s Disdain,” various satirical jokes emerged endlessly.
The focus is, who is Li Wei, two-time Super Bowl Champion, two-time Super Bowl MVP, last season’s regular season MVP, already proven himself in the league; and who is Watson?
Um, first career advancement to the conference finals?
The gap is too obvious, there’s no comparison, the so-called “King’s Disdain” comes with a mocking and joking tone, truly amusing.
However, Houston Texans fans and Watson supporters express strong dissatisfaction: why?
In the 2017 season, Li Wei, who was still an unknown rookie, said in an interview that he didn’t know who Brady was, that one word “who” is still fondly remembered by people, fearlessly challenging the league’s first man, praised as the fearless fledgling.
So why could Li Wei do that back then, but when Watson does something similar now he is mocked, attacked, and besieged, especially since Li Wei’s historical status doesn’t even compare to Brady?
Only officials can start fires, not the common people?
Protest, spreading widely.
Regarding this, Kansas City Chiefs fans don’t even need to come out to defend Li Wei, the bystanders are already fed up, “Are you selectively forgetting?”
At the time Li Wei fearlessly provoked Brady, when the league hyped the “Goat VS Rookie” topic, wasn’t he getting cursed, overwhelmed with insults and curses as dirty and ugly as can be, all vented towards Li Wei.
It’s likely, at that time this group of Watson supporters were enjoying the show more than anyone else.
Now, it’s Watson’s turn, selectively forgetting, complaining about injustice and grievance, this attitude doesn’t know who it’s for.
What, Watson dares to provoke Li Wei, but doesn’t dare to face the backlash?
Suddenly, smoke of war spreads, verbal duels escalate comprehensively, social media becomes noisy, topic heat continues to rise.
Now things have gotten interesting.
The entire league originally thought the Kansas City Chiefs should be able to win easily, leading to a serious lack of attention to the first conference finals game, even the teams in the other conference finals are all focusing on the Kansas City Chiefs, treating the two-time defending champions as hypothetical enemies.
Garoppolo, “If there’s anyone in the league who can beat the Kansas City Chiefs, I believe it’s us.”
Rodgers, “We have the ability and confidence to beat any team. Any. Of course, including the Kansas City Chiefs.”
Clearly it’s the pre-final press conference for the National Conference, yet the Kansas City Chiefs played the leading role, neither the San Francisco 49ers nor the Green Bay Packers disregarded each other, once again feeling the unmatched position of the Kansas City Chiefs in the league this season—
Everyone desires to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.
But now, Watson single-handedly pulled back focus.
Among the four teams in the two conference finals, the Houston Texans have always been ignored and overlooked, easily falling into oblivion, despite their convincing performance defeating the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens and achieving the team’s best historical record, they’re still underestimated.
Until now—
How could they forget, though there’s no highly anticipated peak battle of “Jackson VS Li Wei”, the showdown “Watson VS Li Wei” is equally thrilling.
In his career to date, those who have faced Li Wei without tasting victory, it’s not only Lamar Jackson, DeShaun Watson is also among them.
So, can Watson do it, fulfill his boastful words? Or is it just another trash-talk king, revealing his true form as soon as he steps on stage?
“Whoa oh oh… hey!”
“Whoa oh oh… hey!”
The first conference finals began, the 2019 American League champion is about to be revealed.
When Watson stepped into Arrowhead Stadium, he immediately felt the shock from the league’s season best devil’s home field.
The point is, Arrowhead Stadium didn’t directly call Watson’s name, just using the first syllable, “WA”, at first glance it seems just like a regular cheer, but the undulating shout draws out a comedic curve, sporadically mixed with cheerful laughter, listening closely reveals the hidden mockery and teasing.
It’s not boos, but it’s better than boos.
Watson’s fists instantly hardened.
Watt noticed too, looking at the unified Arrowhead Stadium, quickly realizing something different.
On the surface, Arrowhead Stadium was filled with laughter and easiness; but in reality, the entire stadium’s fans were highly focused, entering the zone even before the opening whistle, with no arrogance thinking they can easily beat the Houston Texans, they’re going all out.
Sure enough, the previous game the Tennessee Titans caught the Kansas City Chiefs off guard, yet they couldn’t upset completely, instantly infuriating the defending champions, there’s no arrogance or disrespect, early on displaying a determined posture, which is key to why the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated this season.
The Kansas City Chiefs are welcoming the Houston Texans with the highest level of treatment.
This is a good thing.
