Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1348: A Lesson of Treasure

My heart was beating so wildly that it almost exploded. The complicated feeling is difficult to express in a few words.

Henry took a deep breath. He didn't know how many times he took a deep breath, but he took another deep breath and used all his strength to control himself.

Then, just as he was about to take a step forward, he didn't expect Levi to take the lead and walk over to him with a smile.

Henry returned to his original position, waited patiently, and stretched out his right hand, looking directly into Levi's eyes with clear eyes.

"Great game." Henry made a small joke, "You really made it hard for us. I really thought we had a chance."

Levi tilted his head and deliberately put on a serious attitude, "Please keep up the good work." After saying that, he gently clenched his fist.

Henry couldn't help it, the corners of his mouth rose, but his words were different, "Get lost. You are rubbing salt into the wound."

Levi laughed heartily.

Henry, "I hate you. Do you hear me? I hate you." Henry deliberately clenched his fists so hard that they made a crackling sound, and glared at Levi with gritted teeth.

Levi spread his hands, "This is my job. It seems that I did a good job tonight. Thank you for the encouragement."

Henry looked at Levi, who looked calm in front of him, and his breath got stuck in his throat. "God, why do Coach Shaban and Coach Burns think you are a good kid? Don't they know you are a devil?"

Levi, "Maybe this is why I can win? You know, in real life, the devil always has the last laugh, especially the devil wearing an angel mask."

Henry was dumbfounded.

Levi smiled particularly happily, patted Henry's shoulder again, and turned to leave.

Henry didn't have time to think about it and subconsciously called out to Levi. When Levi turned around and looked at him, he hesitated again, not sure whether he should speak. It was difficult to tell whether it was shame, disappointment or some other emotion. Opening his mouth became more difficult than ever before.

However, Levi did not rush and stood there waiting patiently.

For a moment, Henry wanted to "forget it", but his self-esteem and pride would not allow him to do so and he should just continue pretending that nothing was wrong; but in the end, he couldn't help himself.

"how did you do it?"

Derrick Henry, once the leader of the Crimson Tide, was a genius forever. From elementary school to middle school, then to college and finally to the league, he had a smooth journey and was a child of destiny. Even the fans worshipped him and called him "Henry the Great."

He has his own pride and his own beliefs. It is one thing to admit that Levi is an outstanding running back; it is another thing to humbly ask for advice.

Even though Shaban and Burns said he should learn from Levi, to this day, to this moment, Henry was still not sure whether he should do so.

He, Henry the Great, actually needed to ask a layman for advice?

Levi has been playing football for several years, but he may not have fully understood the rules of football until now, let alone the understanding of the running back position and offensive tactics. What is there for Levi to ask?

Is this some kind of hell joke?

However, he still spoke: the fact was before his eyes, Levi defeated him three times in a row and completed a hat trick with an unparalleled performance.

He can continue to be arrogant and refuse to acknowledge the excellence of others, refuse to admit that he needs help, and live forever in his own ivory tower; or he can calmly face the fact that "there are always people better than you, and there are always mountains better than you", continue to work hard, continue to make progress, and continue to become a better self.

He wants to improve; he longs for victory, he longs for the championship. The championship gene of the Red Tide Storm in his blood is stirring and ready to overcome everything.

Obviously, Levi did not expect this scene and was a little surprised. He even thought he had heard it wrong.

This time, Henry did not hesitate and repeated, "How did you do it? I mean, all of this, tonight, I really thought we could win, but in the end, we lost miserably, worse than any time before."

Levi chuckled, "Sorry, Derek, I won't apologize for the result of the game." The little teasing made Henry laugh as well.

Levi went on to say, without beating around the bush, "Faith. I know it sounds like a TED Talk, but it's the truth."

Henry was stunned. He thought Levi was just trying to fool him and was about to turn around, but the following words made Henry stop, "Faith in victory?"

Levi shook his head, "Believe that I am not fighting alone."

"After the game, maybe people will talk about the statistics, how crucial that play was, what role that catch/run played, and who had higher or lower statistics than us."

"Numbers. People always believe in numbers, just like the number of championship trophies. But you and I both know that competitive sports are not that simple. They are not just a bunch of numbers and should not be just a bunch of numbers. Behind every attack and defense, there are never just numbers."

"I know deep down that those numbers are just a glimpse; the real key is that I am not fighting alone."

Henry was stunned. This was not the first time Levi had said this. He repeated it over and over again, like chicken soup for the soul. It became disgusting if you drank too much.

But this time is different.

Henry looked straight into Levi's eyes. He could see sincerity and determination in those eyes. It was a light that came from the heart.

"Derrick, raise your head and look around."

Subconsciously, Henry looked up and looked around the court——

Arrowhead Stadium is celebrating, but it's not the carnival you imagine.

In the crowd, Carter stood upright, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, shoulder to shoulder with the bustling audience, raising his arms high and shouting.

"Pah! Felix!"

"Pah! Felix!"

If it were in the past, Carter would also be celebrating his victory at this moment. They completed a difficult game, they won an important victory, the ups and downs of the roller coaster experience deserved all forms of celebration, they needed to vent and release, if not now, when?

However, tonight was different.

They are celebrating victory, yes, but at the same time, they are commemorating:
Victory belongs to them all.

The road to the throne is full of thorns, and the journey to their dreams is long and arduous, but fortunately, they have each other to fight to the end together.

What is more worth celebrating than victory is that they are united, they never give up, they always hold their heads high, and they always fight side by side.

Everything, just like Anne and Felix.

As he shouted, Carter's eyes became moist, but he did not wipe them. Instead, he smiled broadly, jumped even more excitedly, and shouted with all his strength.

"Pah! Felix!"

Henry was stunned, completely stunned. This scene was so familiar yet so strange that he couldn't even find the accurate words to describe it.

In the world of competitive sports, the winner is the king. It is that simple. No matter how many passionate stories, inspirational speeches, dreams and miracles there are, they cannot change the cruelty and coldness of reality. Over time, they begin to get used to it and even begin to take it for granted.

However, here, in the harsh winter of Arrowhead Stadium, the dawn of hope is taking root and blooming proudly from the cold and hard soil.
