Chapter 1284: Body of Steel
"Ha!"
Standing on the sideline, Li Wei's lips curled into a slight smile—
When it comes to provocation, Rivers is undoubtedly an overlooked hidden gem in the league, beneath his seemingly good student demeanor lies a core full of rebellion.
But, does Li Wei care?
"Clap, clap, clap."
Li Wei was the first to lead the applause, smiling broadly, looking at Rivers with a face full of comfort, offering applause in encouragement and solace.
Why does his expression and action give off a... fatherly vibe?
It was completely like "watching a seven-year-old child learning to ride a bicycle, going through falls, teary eyes, bruises, frustrations, and despair, the father wants to help but must restrain himself, continuously clapping encouragement, continuously comforting with his gaze, and finally, the child triumphantly rides, the father quickly wipes away tears, squeezes out a big smile, and showers the child who seems to own the world in applause."
Is this normal?
Beside him, Kelsey, Hill, and the others understood instantly, grinning secretly and barely controlling their mouths, they all followed Li Wei in applause.
In the stands, Thalia saw this side of Li Wei, her tensed nerves slightly relaxed, the familiar Li Wei was back, perhaps even slightly upgraded—
The ability to draw hatred continues to rise.
When Thalia started applauding, the applause at Arrowhead Stadium was unbroken, there wasn't a single boo, and one by one their eyes welled up with tears, offering encouraging applause to the divisional rival—
Well done, old man, really well done, with determination and perseverance, the Los Angeles Chargers have endured hardships recently, truly needing such a highlight moment.
Go, Meng Meng!
It's a rare sight for Arrowhead Stadium to offer applause to a divisional rival, yet Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers felt no happiness or joy whatsoever.
Rivers turned to look at Li Wei, without words, he already knew, if he tried to anger Li Wei, then he succeeded; but if he tried to distract Li Wei, now it seemed he failed, so what would the Los Angeles Chargers Defense Group face next?
A storm!
Short screen passes. Fake runs and real passes. Read Option Offense. Quick short passes. Cheating Motion.
A string of passing offensive tactics, dazzling and overwhelming, Kansas City Chiefs firmly seized on Los Angeles' weaker solo combat ability and more reliance on group combat ability, relying on breakthroughs—
Kelsey and Hill shone brightly, using Li Wei as bait to attract fire, the two players connected with Mahomes and relied on individual ability to break through, Kansas City Chiefs showcased another side of their offensive group.
This season, with "Cheating Motion" making a grand entrance, Kansas City Chiefs fully capitalized on its offensive group's characteristic of dismantling running routes combined with coordination, unleashing the power of the offensive group, to the extent that people momentarily forgot:
Apart from Li Wei, how outstanding the Kansas City Chiefs offensive group's solo combat ability is.
Thus.
The advance wasn't fast, but it was steady and solid, like a backbone persistently hitting, with a tough and rugged performance shattering the Los Angeles Chargers Defense Group.
Then, without warning, they switched tactics.
"Mahomes... oh, no, not a pass, Mahomes handed the football to Li Wei, fake pass real run!"
"First down and ten yards, Kansas City Chiefs choose a fake pass real run, Li Wei carries the ball for the first time in the game."
"The Los Angeles Chargers Defense Group pushed up completely, their surprise attack tactics were preemptively detected, but the defenders' secondary reactions were quick, obviously they've been wary of Kansas City Chiefs' ground attack all along, the players swiftly surrounded Li Wei."
"One. Two. Three. Four."
"Even the cornerback of Los Angeles Chargers gave up on guarding Kelsey, converging on Li Wei at the first moment, before Li Wei's speed could unfold, he was trapped in a surround!"
"Crisis!"
"Crisis!"
"Li Wei... Li Wei decided to break through frontally!"
"Oh, God, Straight Arm Block!"
"Unbelievable! Li Wei, with one hand, directly toppled cornerback Casey Hayward! Forcing a breakthrough, Li Wei tore open a seam in the encirclement, with defenders trying to complete the envelopment, secondary support."
"Li Wei!"
"Straight Arm Block! Li Wei once again Straight Arm Blocked, thwarting a certain tackle, forcefully opening a door for himself, completely escaping the enclosure!"
"Bosa is attempting a recovery, Defensive End Joey Bosa leaps entirely but—"
"Missed!"
"Li Wei's high knee lift moves, nimble and agile, completely shook off Bosa."
"Li Wei, sideline, sprint, the Edgerunner's speed fully unleashed!"
"Ten yards!"
"Twenty yards!"
"Incredible, incredible! Li Wei runs faster and faster, leaving no holding back, thoroughly leaving the Los Angeles Chargers Defense Group behind."
"A solitary charge!"
"Thirty yards!"
"End zone!"
"Touchdown!"
"Touchdown, this is a touchdown, undoubtedly a touchdown! An amazingly brilliant touchdown!"
"Unstoppable! Lethal strike! Don't blink, or you might miss the spectacular! Kansas City Chiefs number twenty-three once again showcases unparalleled energy and power, He is still the player the entire league thirsts to defeat, mowing down two tackles with Straight Arm Blocks twice! Twice! And with unimaginable agility and speed, breaking out of the defense and claiming the touchdown!"
"Li Wei!"
"It's Li Wei again, still Li Wei, it's of course Li Wei, who else could it be? The captain of Kansas City Chiefs, the spiritual leader of Kansas City Chiefs, repeatedly forging a bloody path with his iron physique, repeatedly leading Kansas City Chiefs with his steps to write countless miracles."
"Before us, still the same."
"Los Angeles Chargers want to shake the power of Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, not so easy! This is Li Wei's response, answering a touchdown with another touchdown!"
"Unbelievable, wow, I mean... unbelievable, how exactly did Li Wei do it?"
Carefree and leisurely.
Li Wei stands in the end zone, composed, seemingly without a trace of sweat on his forehead, still no celebration, lightly tossing, handing the football to the referee.
However, those eyes are so bright, bursting with a mission-filled determination—
No one can stop them. No one.
Any obstacle in front of them, he and his comrades will completely shatter, step by step pursuing dreams, firmly grasping the glimmer of hope, proving the existence of miracles with actions.
Arrowhead Stadium erupts in astounding energy, the entire audience rises collectively.
"Clap! Felix!"
For Felix.
The overwhelming energy, like a torrential downpour, pours down, Los Angeles Chargers coaches and players stand in place trembling, engulfed in a fear of being swallowed, destroyed, wiped out at any moment.
Even Rivers can't help but swallow hard: Have they really prepared?
They thought they were ready to defeat Kansas City Chiefs, but truly facing the overwhelming energy of Kansas City Chiefs, they realized their insignificance and helplessness, swept into the storm without warning, utterly losing the ability to react, and now only belatedly realizing maybe they weren't prepared after all.
So, what should they do?
