Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 1275: The Traffic Bubble



Pop, pop.

It was clearly applause for support, yet it wasn't fierce, intense, enthusiastic, or overwhelming; however, it was precisely this calm applause that contained a resilient and overwhelming force, silently spreading throughout the training base.

One clap, then another.

Thalia looked around with a hint of curiosity, everything was so new.

Watching the game at Arrowhead Stadium on TV, she couldn't help but imagine the scene on-site, the live broadcast could already feel the impact, but the actual situation might exceed imaginations, making the blood boil.

And truly being part of it, Thalia finally understood:

The poverty of imagination.

Relying solely on imagination, one can only depict baseless mirages; but cannot truly feel the roaring heat waves with skin and pores, from sight to hearing to touch and smell, even taste gets involved.

Then, connections are forged between people, standing shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, facing the storm--

No matter the difficulties, no matter the storm, they can face it with their heads held high because they are not alone; they are a group facing challenges together!

Thalia couldn't help but stand straighter, a wave of heat surged in her chest, no words could depict a tenth of the madness, there were neither cheers nor shouts, just quiet and resilient focus on the field, with the smile evolving into bright light in her eyes.

Pop. Pop. Pop.

Like this, bit by bit, it gathers.

Rolling airwaves swept across the entire field, Kelsey stood still, an overwhelming mix of emotions surged on his tongue.

Looking at the audience stands, then at Li Wei, Kelsey helplessly and gloomily hung his head, standing there contemplating in the storm.

But eventually, Kelsey took a deep breath, dragged his feet towards Li Wei.

Once beside him, Kelsey didn't say anything, silently following Li Wei, began basic physical training, meticulously focused on the training.

Li Wei noticed but didn't get distracted, still focused on finishing this set of training before stopping, using the twenty-second rest time to glance at Kelsey with a questioning look.

Kelsey wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Li Wei, and spat a line peevishly, "What are you looking at, have you never seen such a handsome prince?"

Li Wei didn't respond, which made Kelsey slightly uneasy.

Kelsey curled his lips, "What, if you're dissatisfied, want to throw a punch? Standing there whining and sulking, what are you looking at?"

Li Wei gently raised his brow, "No need, as long as you can keep up with my pace."

Kelsey's expression changed, swallowing nervously, his face full of conflict, "...How about you just punch me then."

Li Wei didn't say anything further, directly starting the next set of training.

Kelsey sighed up to the sky, gritting his teeth, closing his eyes, still kept pace--

Damn, this guy is abusing his power, he's doing it on purpose, definitely!

Training continued as usual, seemingly without any special changes; but the atmosphere at the training base subtly changed.

The familiar Kansas City Chiefs were getting back on track, at least it seemed that way.

However, the layers upon layers of gloom above Kansas City didn't dissipate, this year, winter seemed colder than usual.

And outside Kansas City, a storm was brewing, persistent and non-stop--

Since the preseason, the storm targeting the Kansas City Chiefs hasn't stopped this season.

The only explanation is the feeling of isolation at the top; the higher you stand, the more intense the pressure and attacks, precisely because this is Kansas City's final hurdle towards achieving a three-peat championship and establishing a new dynasty, the bustling siege tightly seizes any small chance, rushing forward completely disregarded.

One wave hasn't settled, another arises, incessantly!

Here comes another one.

From Oakland Raiders to New England Patriots, the waves of doubts and sieges have been climbing for three weeks; initially, after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the New England Patriots away, it briefly subsided, accolades for Kansas City Chiefs constantly flowed, gratitude voices filled the corners for Kansas City Chiefs once again sniping New England Patriots; yet within less than forty-eight hours, it was drowned by those clamorous noise, the gloating voices flooded social networks.

Rumors like Kansas City Chiefs falling into chaos due to loyal fan's death, Li Wei being criticized for refusing to attend the loyal fan's funeral, and Li Wei's arrogant, sole-dominating ugly face sparking locker room disagreement--

This time it's real.

Anyway, all sorts of rumors were flying among melon-eaters.

Then, the "prophets" confidently started predicting Kansas City Chiefs' future.

Over the past two weeks, Kansas City Chiefs' performance fluctuated, facing games against the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots, despite winning, hidden troubles began to expose; compounded by physical exhaustion and taut nerves, blind confidence following long winning streaks might become a hazard, Kansas City Chiefs is currently in a state of daze.

A perfect regular season is as tough as climbing the sky.

Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Felix's death brought a heavy blow, worsening the situation by exploding Kansas City Chiefs' fatigue and contradictions entirely, locker room turmoil and performance fluctuations combined--

Uncertainty was further magnified.

Moreover, there's a key point.

The toughest opponent on Kansas City Chiefs' schedule, New England Patriots, had already been toppled; three regular-season games remain, judging from various aspects, it's only natural for Kansas City Chiefs to defeat their opponents.

Precisely because of this, relaxing mentally, underestimating opponents, prematurely considering victory as guaranteed; but this is the NFL, with neither absolute strong enemies nor absolute weaklings, even a slight mental crack could completely shift the game.

Just like the 2011 season's Green Bay Packers, everyone believed the perfect season was a done deal, yet nobody expected an upset loss to severely undermanned Kansas City Chiefs, bottomed in AFC West, far from playoffs?

Moreover, Kansas City Chiefs' thirteen-game winning streak almost certainly secured American League's top seed, subsequent wins and losses have limited impacts on playoff positioning, Kansas City Chiefs purely fights for the title of "perfect season," this motivation to keep the team fully focused and invested still leaves a question mark.

As a marathon frontrunner, leading by a mile, victory is almost guaranteed, yet before their eyes only awaits a world record to challenge, will this frontrunner still exert every effort to sprint toward the finish line? Without competitors alongside, does the frontrunner still have enough motivation and bravery to challenge the record?

From all indications, Kansas City Chiefs, having passed New England Patriots' test, enters the season at its most vulnerable, where any opponent could abruptly overturn Kansas City Chiefs.

The finish line seems just ahead, yet the suspense is unexpectedly harder to predict than ever.

Thus, haters, jealous ones, trolls, and critics unhesitatingly found their positions.
