Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1236: Be Patient
The situation was stalemate, deadlock and tension. It was extremely tense, explosive and suffocating.

Under such circumstances, the Kansas City Chiefs' most powerful and best killer actually hit a wall. Although they still successfully advanced six yards this time, the whole impact and shock were overwhelming, and the pressure from Belichick and the New England Patriots was instantly pushed to a new height.

Meanwhile, Gillette Stadium is making it incredibly difficult and daunting.

"kill!"

The residents of Fox Castle were excited.

It is true that his offensive team just suffered a strikeout and his GOAT still couldn't find his touch tonight, but these are not problems.

What could be more morale-boosting than seeing your defense intercept a "cheat motion" that has been sweeping the opponent's defense all season?
One or two ignites the passion, the syllables explode on the tip of the tongue, layer upon layer gather and entangle and finally detonate, overwhelming energy releases.

"kill!"

"kill!"

With ferocious faces, red eyes, and raised arms, everyone at Gillette Stadium was united as one. All the new and old grudges accumulated from last year to this year were ignited. The bloody smell on the tip of the tongue was surging, and even the biting cold wind stood aside. The murderous storm before their eyes became the protagonist.

The air began to become thick and astringent.

It was just a level of attack and defense, and the situation suddenly became tense.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Kansas City Chiefs' offense suffered a head-on blow. This is a drawback of young teams, they can easily become excited or depressed.

The entire first half was frustrating and dull. The Kansas City Chiefs' offense had never encountered such bad weather conditions and such tough defensive confrontations throughout the entire season. Even when they returned to the locker room with a lead, they still couldn't feel comfortable, as if their breath was stuck in their chest and couldn't be released.

Now, in the second half, the first wave of attack was attacked again.

Unrest swept in.

It's not just Hardman and Kelce, the entire offensive group is a little dull.

Including Levi.

It's been a long time since I felt this way. The last time I experienced such a difficult situation was when I faced the Pittsburgh Steelers. This season, the Kansas City Chiefs' offense didn't feel so bad when facing the Baltimore Ravens, who currently rank second in the league in defense. But today, the alarm bells were sounded again.

Levi took a deep breath.

In the world of competitive sports, there is nothing absolute, no absolute victory nor absolute failure, no absolute strength nor absolute weakness, and nothing is taken for granted.

Everyone must face the fact that even top superstars, even GOATs, have ups and downs in their performance, and they are all flesh and blood.

Occasionally, there will be a situation where an unknown person who has never been heard of, a veteran who has been in the professional arena for many years but has never been popular, a loser who has been defeated and frustrated countless times in front of top masters, suddenly, without warning, burns energy like a comet, enters the super god mode, sweeps across the world and rises up strongly, making all the top masters and GOATs pale in comparison and attracting all attention.

Football. Tennis. Basketball. Volleyball. Racing. Swimming. And so on.

Such classic moments have been witnessed in different competitions, events and stadiums.

This season, that's what happened to New England Patriots cornerback Gilmore.

So, what should we do in the face of such a situation?
Surrender and lay down your arms?

No, of course not.

Rafael Nadal, a tennis player whom Levi admires very much, once said: Sometimes, you have to admit that your opponent is just better than you. In the face of such a situation, the only thing you can do is to remain patient and keep fighting, and don't give up. Sometimes, you can find an opportunity to turn the situation around and win, but sometimes you can't. Then, you accept the result calmly and return to the training ground to train well, that's all.

It's the same thing in front of me.

Gilmore and the New England Patriots were indeed difficult to deal with, and the terrible weather in Foxborough was really annoying, but the only thing they could do was remain patient.

Don't forget that the Kansas City Chiefs are now in the lead, and they must not lose their composure because of their eagerness to win. Patience and calmness become increasingly important.

Then, Levi walked towards Hardman and Kelsey, patted their shoulders one by one, and didn't say much. He just made eye contact to make sure they noticed his gaze and regained their footing:

Why are you panicking? We have been through so many ups and downs in the past three seasons. It’s just a small setback in the “cheating motion”. Are you scared?

The smile on Levi's lips calmed the chaotic mood of the offensive team.

Then, prepare to form the array.

As soon as he looked up, Levi could see Mahomes' slightly hesitant look. Levi jumped twice on the spot and said, "Are you ready to warm up?"

Warming up? It's already the second half!
Mahomes immediately realized it was a joke, and he couldn't help but relax and laughed foolishly, "Indeed, in this weather, warm-up time needs to be longer. No one wants to get injured, right?"

Levi patted Mahomes on the shoulder and the Kansas City Chiefs were ready.

Their minds were still somewhat confused. The murderous aura that filled the entire venue pierced their eardrums and skin. Even just three to five seconds were not enough to relieve the pressure. But at least they stomped their feet hard to make sure they stood firmly and refocused their attention.

Then, "Attack!"

Mahomes announced the kickoff, and the offense and defense instantly became bustling with activity.

Second gear and four yards, this is a short yardage. The Kansas City Chiefs offense has multiple tactics to complete the advancement. The key point is that Kelce is in poor condition tonight, and Mahomes' passing options are limited. So what will Reid choose?

Belichick has an answer in mind:
Levi. But instead of running the ball, he passed it.

He cleverly used Levi's passing ability to break the deadlock, and after just suffering a small setback, he used the "Chief's Special" to reawaken the team's confidence and vitality and control the situation before morale further slipped into the abyss.

This is the most proficient and powerful set of tactics for the Kansas City Chiefs this season. Belichick came to this conclusion after repeatedly watching all the game videos of the Kansas City Chiefs. This set of tactics built around Levi is the killer of the Kansas City Chiefs and is more important than "Cheating Motion".

At the first moment, the New England Patriots' short pass area took a position of defense, killing every pass target one-on-one, putting the passer in trouble.

Whether it is Levi or Mahomes, the difficulty of passing the ball is there, which gives Belichick room to adjust both offensively and defensively.

Man-to-man, close positioning, airtight.

Then, Belichick kept a close eye on the movements of Mahomes and Levy.

After the kickoff, Mahomes handed the football to Levi without hesitation, and the maroon football went into Levi's arms.

Belichick remained calm, staring at Levi like a hawk, as if he was looking at a turtle in a jar, revealing some confidence and composure in control of the overall situation.

He is sure to win this round of coaching game!
