Chapter 1379: Chapter 1378: A Promising Student
“Danger, the pocket is collapsing!”
“The Kansas City Chiefs are only using a four-man rush, yet they achieve incredible results this time, with Chris Jones easily breaking through the line!”
“Watson!”
“Impact! Sack!”
“Oh, Watson, Watson masterfully slips away, Jones couldn’t hold on due to his excessive force, and Watson regains passing space.”
“Watson, DeShaun Watson completes the pass before losing his balance.”
“No openings! The Kansas City Chiefs Defense is airtight in the Red Zone, leaving no opportunity, Watson’s pass flies towards the left end zone corner, aiming for—”
“Hopkins!”
“Oh my God, Hopkins is double-covered, the Kansas City Chiefs accurately anticipate the Houston Texans’ pass strategy this time, Brilland and Matty converge, all three jump for the ball simultaneously!”
“Chaos!”
“It’s a mess, who has the football?”
“Hopkins! Hopkins! DeAndre Hopkins completes the catch and keeps his feet, grabbing the football amidst double coverage for the touchdown!”
“Touchdown!”
“Houston Texans touchdown!”
“Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Hopkins completes an impossible task, this is talent, this is skill, reaching into the lion’s mouth to grab the football, even perfecting his footwork amidst jostling!”
“In the first conference finals, the Houston Texans prove they are not just pushovers, they refuse to be mere backdrops, they make their voices heard, against even the Kansas City Chiefs!”
Ah, ahaha!
Hopkins spreads his arms wide and flies, sprinting towards O’Brien.
Ahaha, aha!
Watson sprints full speed across the field, locating Li Wei accurately in the crowd, clenching his fists and roaring with all his might.
Roar! See? This is my battle post, this is my declaration!
The Kansas Chiefs Offense players stand dumbfounded, not expecting such a scene, instinctively looking towards Li Wei one by one.
Hill takes a small step forward and clenches his fists too, clearly indicating: What, a fight? Ready anytime!
However, Watson doesn’t see Hill at all, staring at Li Wei with a death gaze, seemingly piercing Li Wei’s soul.
Li Wei’s smile widens, showing a hint of gratification, slightly nodding and clapping his hands in applause for Watson.
Watson: ???
What kind of response is this? Why does Li Wei look like a teacher pleased with a promising student? What does Li Wei mean, is this some new form of trash talk?
Watson is stunned, with a “I don’t get it, but I’m blown away” expression, all his anger and passion freezing in an instant.
Kelsey is similarly stunned, quietly approaching Li Wei, “Are you mocking him…?”
Li Wei is completely calm, “No, I’m praising him.”
Kelsey, “Huh?”
Li Wei shrugs lightly, “We’ve been juniors for three years now, he should grow, otherwise, it’s boring to keep bullying a child. Plus, he defeated the Baltimore Ravens, so he should show some sincerity, otherwise, if we win easily, we might underestimate in the Super Bowl again.”
Kelsey: …so, is Li Wei treating the Houston Texans as a grindstone?
Li Wei offers no further response, calling out to everyone, “Hey, see that? No one’s afraid of us now, I think we need to make some noise.”
With that, Li Wei bares his teeth in a fierce expression, causing the entire Kansas City Chiefs team to burst into laughter.
Watson remains standing there, feeling they’re mocking him, but without evidence.
At this time, the Kansas City Chiefs Defense retreats, and it’s clear their momentum has faltered, swiftly engulfing Watson in a crowd.
Li Wei withdraws his gaze, no longer paying attention to Watson, but looking towards the slightly subdued defense group.
Li Wei doesn’t agree, that last offensive play, whether it was Watson, Hopkins, or the entire offensive group’s coordination, was clearly in peak form, with Hopkins completing a miraculous catch for a touchdown. They shouldn’t be dejected, they should face the fact calmly—
The game has just started, there are more opportunities ahead.
Li Wei steps forward, patting each defensive player on the back, Fuller feels a heavy thud on his back, and can’t help but exclaim.
“Rookie, I’m going to cough up blood.”
A sentence that makes everyone look over, Jones, Matty, and the others all hold back their pain, bursting into laughter due to Fuller’s words.
The atmosphere lightens.
Without another word, Li Wei gives Fuller another Iron Sand Palm on the back, “Stay sharp.”
Fuller’s body twists in response, making everyone laugh out loud collectively.
“Tit for tat, evenly matched.”
“This American League Championship far exceeds expectations, it’s exceptionally thrilling.”
“You can clearly see the impact of the Wild Card games, the Tennessee Titans have proven the Kansas City Chiefs aren’t as intimidating as thought, cracking the myth and giving hope to those who follow. Today, the Houston Texans seized the opportunity, starting strong on both offense and defense.”
“The challenge surfaces again for the Kansas City Chiefs.”
The Kansas Chiefs Offense and the Houston Texans Defense take the field once more.
No words needed, it’s clear, the Houston Texans Defense is highly motivated. Despite the tie, a tie is a positive signal for the challenging Houston Texans, showing that the once invincible Kansas City Chiefs aren’t as out of reach as imagined.
Watt is raring to go more than ever.
Since O’Brien took over as head coach in 2014, the Houston Texans Defense has always been reliable, but it’s the Offense that was disappointing. Now, with the Offense fully matured, this season perhaps marks their continued breakthrough, marching forward, continuously writing history.
First down and ten yards.
The Houston Texans Defense unhesitatingly continues the pressure, demanding relentless pressure until Mahomes shows any disturbance.
Moreover, the Houston Texans are not going all in, relying only on a four-man rush, yet Watt has already broken the pocket.
Danger, alarm raised immediately.
Watt notices Li Wei in the pocket, remaining fully defensive, as Li Wei may act like the sixth offensive line and always manages his tasks.
Li Wei remains next to Mahomes, passively defending, ready to absorb Watt’s impact.
At the critical moment, Mahomes and Li Wei exchange positions, Mahomes handing off the football into Li Wei’s arms, while positioning himself in Watt’s path.
This is…a Chiefs Special?
Watt is unfazed, but his focus shifts slightly due to Li Wei’s versatility, disrupting his plans, necessitating timely judgment and adjustment.
In that instant of hesitation, Watt notices both Li Wei and Mahomes advance.
Just as Watt is about to topple Mahomes, he realizes Mahomes sidesteps, avoiding the collision, requiring Watt to turn and adjust his force.
In the next second, Watt discovers Li Wei utilizing Mahomes’ blocking as a decoy, accelerating straight through the middle.
It’s not a fake pass to a run, but a tactical feint creating an illusion, when actually it’s a running play.
All along, it was a running play!
Yet Watt’s focus was always on Mahomes: Damn!
