Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 104 Long term plan
A pair of eyes looked at Levi with excitement and joy. The burning gazes almost melted Levi, and he couldn't help but start to imagine in advance with anticipation.

Levi, who was caught in an ambush from all sides, remained calm and gave a completely unexpected answer in a straightforward manner.

"Oh, this question is not within my consideration for the time being."

what?
Because it was so shocking and unexpected, the reporters were briefly blank. What does it mean to be out of consideration?

It was just this little bit of surprise that caused the density of the reporters' encirclement to fail to be controlled, and Levi walked away calmly as if he was in an empty space.

A little late, the reporters finally came to their senses and swarmed towards Levi like a tide.

Burns and Shaban happened to see this scene from a distance.

Originally, Burns was about to go forward to help, but he saw Levi suddenly start and call Humphrey and Hertz who were watching the show on the side to run away together.

Humphrey watched Levi and Hurts run, and he also ran, but his head was full of question marks, and he kept shouting, "Why should I run away? Wait, can anyone tell me why I should run away?"

Questioning while running.

In a blink of an eye, the three young men left the reporters behind, and several reporters with big bellies fell behind, standing there panting and gasping for breath.

Burns laughed dumbly, "It seems that no help is needed."

The corners of Shaban's mouth also rose slightly, "No, I still need a little help."

Burns: ?

Shaban did not keep anyone in suspense. "We have won nine games in a row now. There are three games left in the regular season, and then there are the conference championship game, the bowl game and possibly the national championship game. The media are already going crazy, and it will definitely increase in the future. I am worried about the level of pressure these young people will face."

Burns understood immediately.

Just look at last season.

Last year, the Crimson Tide started the new season with high expectations and ranked third, but they lost as early as the third week, and the pressure was relieved early.

The Clemson Tigers were unstoppable, opening the new season as the twelfth seed and remaining undefeated all the way to the top seed. All of North America's attention was on the young Deshaun Watson, and they reached the final of the U.S. Championship with a 14-game winning streak to maintain their unbeaten record throughout the season.

The pressure is all on Clemson.

Everyone already knows the ending, the Crimson Tide upset the top seed and won the championship.

This year, the Crimson Tide are wearing Clemson's shoes, and the pressure is increasing.

From the beginning of the season, the Crimson Tide started as the top seed and defending champion, but only they themselves knew how big the vacancy was after Derrick Henry left. They were also affected by consecutive injuries to running backs, and there was always tremendous pressure within the team to prove themselves.

Now, after making great strides, and finally facing Louisiana State University, the pressure, shortcomings, and weaknesses were all exposed.

Today, the Crimson Tide relied on Levi's outstanding performance to break the deadlock and continue their unbeaten streak, but in the future, the pressure and challenges will only continue to increase the difficulty level. What they need least is to repeat Clemson's mistakes and win the entire season but lose the most important game.

In this situation, they really don't need the media to come and mess around.

Burns looked at Shaban, "What are you going to do?"

Shaban took a deep breath and said, "No interviews of any kind."

Burns was shocked. "Nick! You know, this will make us the target of media criticism."

Shaban nodded, "I know. But this is my order. If they have any complaints, come to me. I will speak to the principal personally about this."

In other words, Shaban is the only bad guy. Shaban turned to look at Burns again, "Now it's the Internet age, confiscating players' phones is no longer feasible, they will definitely check their phones; but I need help to get them to try not to pay attention to the media and ignore the news, whether it is praise or criticism."

"Burton."

Just a call is enough, after all, the two have been working together for ten years.

Burns raised his hands and smiled. "I have no problem. You are the bad guy, and I am just responsible for the execution. The children will cooperate."

Shaban didn't mind at all. His face was indifferent, showing the decisiveness of an iron-blooded coach. "Burton, pay more attention to Levi."

Burns, "Why, are you worried about him? Yes, he is in the worst-hit area right now. Alas, it's all our fault. We were too hasty and put him in the spotlight so early."

Shaban shook his head in surprise. "No, actually, I'm not worried about him. He always behaves calmly in front of the media. I mean his performance on the field. Levi should have learned a lot from today's game. If he comes to ask you, you need to spend more time."

Burns laughed. "Of course."

Shaban lowered his voice and muttered to himself, "Perhaps, we have really unearthed a treasure. I don't want to destroy it because of our greed or carelessness."

Burns heard, "Nick, do you think he should be drafted next year?"

Shaban, did not answer, but fell into deep thought.

The draft is indeed an important topic, because participating in the draft means turning professional and truly stepping into a more advanced professional field.

Although the reporters didn't believe it, Levi's answers were all sincere -

He really didn't think about it.

At least, not yet.

The season has gradually entered the second half. Levi has no reference. He doesn't know how Derrick Henry performed last year because he didn't pay special attention. He believes that his performance is good enough and should be able to meet the principal's requirements. However, the season is not over yet, right?
Moreover, the more he observed, the more certain Levi became. He believed that there must be a deal between Burns and the principal, but he didn't know whether their performance was up to standard.

Although joining the football team was just a transaction from the beginning, Levi saw all of Burns' devotion and dedication, and Shaban was no exception. They did not treat Levi as a tool or a chess piece, but helped him grow step by step according to Levi's situation.

If possible, Levi also hopes to help Shaban and Burns achieve their goals.

So, for now, the draft is really not something Levi needs to consider.

but……

Entering the professional league through the draft, experiencing confrontation, facing challenges, and pushing the limit, this sounds quite interesting. Levi is also curious about his own ceiling. With the help of the football training system, what height can he reach in the end and how many peak showdowns with top players can he experience?
Just imagining the sound of helmets colliding with each other, and the game of tactics and counterattacks, can't help but make my blood boil.

However, there is no need to rush. Matters concerning the draft and career still require long-term consideration.

On this side, Levi was taking his time and following the procedures.

Over there, the professional league was already in turmoil, even earlier than the media—

The fact is that when team managers see the media focusing on Levi's potential to enter the draft next year, it means the entire league already knows it.

If you pay attention to it only now, you will already be several steps behind your competitors.
