Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1234 Breaking the Competition
To break the deadlock, the Kansas City Chiefs must take the lead.

Levi thought.

In Levi's opinion, the New England Patriots should be very satisfied with the first half. Although the New England Patriots fell behind temporarily, it was just a free kick. The so-called lead and fall behind are not worth mentioning at all.

Belichick has been best at such fierce battles throughout his coaching career, winning by one or two points. The New England Patriots relied on the defense to hold on to the game and dragged the game to the last two minutes. But what he expected was not a Hail Mary buzzer-beater like Rogers, but a quick advance based on Brady's stability and calmness, and finally a buzzer-beater with a free kick.

Safe, stable and efficient.

This is called an efficiency victory.

Therefore, the New England Patriots will definitely continue to stick to this tactic, and keep the stalemate and entanglement. The closer to the end of the game, the more the home advantage of Foxburg will help Brady to play -

Brady is familiar with such situations.

This means that the Kansas City Chiefs must be the one to break the deadlock and avoid entering the rhythm and routine that the New England Patriots are most familiar with and best at. They cannot pin their hopes on the last two minutes of the game and competition at Gillette Stadium.

Of course, if it really comes to that, the Kansas City Chiefs with Mahomes and Levi may not lose, and the chances of winning or losing are still 50-50.

But wouldn’t it be better if they could avoid that, disrupt the New England Patriots’ plans, and firmly grasp the initiative for victory before the official two-minute timeout?
The Kansas City Chiefs need to take control of the game.

After all, the New England Patriots mainly rely on their defense to win this season, and the situation in the first half is a positive sign in Belichick's eyes; while the Kansas City Chiefs mainly rely on their offense to win, and they need to take the initiative to turn the situation around in the second half.

The principle is not difficult, the key lies in how to plan and how to implement it?

Coach Burns noticed Levi's expression and moved closer.

"Rookie, tell me what you are thinking."

Levi looked up.

Coach Burns nudged Levi with his elbow, and said with a smile like a Maitreya Buddha, "Go ahead, you always have some clever ideas, maybe you can give us some inspiration."

Levi laughed dumbly, "Coach, what do you think about us breaking through the middle?"

Coach Burns, "Avoiding Gilmore's edge? Don't you feel frustrated? I thought you young people like to win or lose head-on in a head-on duel."

Levi spread his hands, "Coach, losing is the real frustration. Moreover, knowing that the opponent is in hot form and still foolishly banging your head against the wall is stupid."

Coach Burns was immediately amused. "I said that those youngsters shouldn't mess with you. Okay, tell me in detail, what does a mid-court breakthrough mean?"

……

In the second half, the war will be reignited.

In the live broadcast room, commentators were analyzing the battle situation and making plans.

Everyone knows that Belichick and Reid are two top tactical masters. After the entanglement and confrontation in the first half, the two coaches must have a lot of thoughts during the halftime break and re-plan the second half. No one is willing to give up the victory.

Therefore, they also carried out analysis and layout from the perspectives of the two head coaches.

The social network is even more lively.

After a dull first half, which was disappointing, everyone was eager for some exciting rounds in the second half to avoid a complete mess of the game.

"Please, I don't expect to see a big scoring battle, but it shouldn't be boring until the end. This is simply torture."

"Haha, I just took a nap and found that I didn't seem to miss anything."

"Where is the 'Rookie VS Goat'? Are they hibernating?" Because the game was so boring, netizens started a joke contest. Watching the excitement on social networks was a hundred times more interesting than watching the live broadcast of the game.

However, netizens were still disappointed——

"strike out!"

In the second half, the New England Patriots took control of the offense, with Brady taking the lead, but...

"Brady's pass was still a little hesitant. He didn't find the best state from observation to judgment to shooting, which gave the opponent a chance."

"The Kansas City Chiefs defense accurately seized the opportunity and completed a beautiful strikeout, giving the New England Patriots offense no chance at all."

"It seems that the situation of the game has not changed, and the adjustments made during the halftime break have not had an immediate effect."

This season, the New England Patriots' offensive line has performed very well, allowing only 22 sacks, second only to the Los Angeles Rams in the league.

Pocket protection gives Brady enough space and time, and we expect Brady to use his abilities to solve offensive problems as always.

However, after returning from the locker room in the second half, the Kansas City Chiefs defense took the lead.

An effective pressure caused Brady to rush the ball, an effective hit on the quarterback destroyed the pass, and an effective pass interference caused Brady to pass incomplete.

strike out!

Three passes, corresponding to three defenses, the Kansas City Chiefs' pass defense, which was criticized for being weak last season, finally showed growth and transformation.

Tough, crisp, neat, fast, fierce and accurate.

The impact displayed by the Kansas City Chiefs in the short pass area dealt a heavy blow to the New England Patriots, and the entire rhythm and state were comprehensively improved.

To some extent, Reid caught Brady's weakness——

He knew Brady would not sit still, he knew Brady's desire for victory, and he knew Brady would definitely be ready to show himself in the second half.

More importantly, he knows that despite the differences and conflicts between Belichick and Brady, Belichick clearly distinguishes between public and private matters on the court, and he is still willing to hand over the offensive responsibility to Brady. Brady urgently needs to regain his touch, and Belichick may put the focus of the offense on Brady's shoulders.

The reason is that if the game goes into the final two minutes to decide the outcome as Belichick expected, then Belichick needs Brady to be in top form; this means Brady must first get back into form, otherwise he won't be able to turn the situation around even if the stalemate lasts until the last two minutes.

Rather than rushing around when the time comes, it’s better to take advantage of the opportunity now and let Brady start trying——

At the start of the second half, even if Brady made a mistake, the New England Patriots still had a chance to make up.

Sure enough, Reed was right.

The Kansas City Chiefs saw through the New England Patriots' passing tactics in advance, and made three passes in the third gear. The defense relied on the airtight zone defense in the short pass area to create pressure, refusing to give Brady an easy chance to shoot, and then gave Brady a sudden blow through the front line pressure.

Finally, strikeout.

On the surface, the New England Patriots struck out again and again, and the fans were crying out in boredom, with no sign of any adjustments or arrangements being made during the halftime break.

However, in reality, the game between head coaches Reid and Belichick during the halftime break is continuing to escalate, and the situation is subtly changing.

Things are changing, and Belichick became alert at the first moment: Are the Kansas City Chiefs ready to break through?
