Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1587 Keen Sense of Smell
"Ha." Hubble chuckled, joining in with Levi's words with a hearty laugh, "Hahaha."

But Hubble's attention remained focused on Levi. "So, you're not going to continue spreading misinformation? You believe they're the real deal."

Li Wei spread his hands, his face calm. "Since the mission has been exposed, there's no point in continuing. Let's save our energy."

Hubble: ...

He didn't believe it. Not a single word. Li Wei's simple admission served as a wake-up call for Hubble; he couldn't believe Li Wei had surrendered so easily.

Levi seemed completely oblivious to the wariness in Hubble's eyes, pausing for a moment before adding, "However..."

Hubble gazed silently at Levi. "So, Yang? Okuda? Or Anette?"

Li Wei, as if about to reveal the Oscar winner, gave a mysterious smile and said, "Okuda."

Hubble rolled his eyes. "Come on, rookie, this must be a conspiracy, absolutely, one hundred percent. Okuda? I can't believe my eyes."

Brush brush.

The hustle and bustle here attracted many eyes, and all the bustling gazes were focused on it. It was clear that Levi and Hubble had big smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.

Jeff Okuda, one of the top contenders for defensive player this year, is hailed as the most talented player since Jalen Ramsey. Because of the coveted cornerback position, scouts and experts predict he could be a top-five pick, and the level of discussion surrounding him is comparable to that of Burrow.

result?

If Levi didn't do it on purpose, Hubble believed it was all a prank.

Hubble couldn't contain himself either, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Wait, it's because of Ramsey, right? His draft model is Ramsey, and you don't like Ramsey, so you don't like him either, right!"

Levi spread his hands. "Do you think Ramsey can defend against me?"

Hubble: ...

After a pause, Hubble regained his composure. "The only player in the entire league confident enough to guard you one-on-one right now is Aaron Donald, right?"

Li Wei grinned. "Thank you for the compliment. Although this might offend more than half of the defensive players in the league, I'll still accept the praise without hesitation."

Hubble: "Tch, it's their business if they can't accept the facts, rookie. Honestly, are you deliberately targeting Okuda, or are you just throwing out a smokescreen?"

Although Hubble didn't say much else, Levi still caught a clue from Hubble's eagerness and sincerity: "It seems the Baltimore Ravens are still planning to select defensive players this year. Please allow me to guess, cornerbacks or linebackers? Of course, defensive forwards are also under consideration."

Hubble choked, "That little fox!"
But then he thought, Bill Belichick had already been thwarted by this guy, so it didn't seem so bad. Hubble simply went with the flow, saying, "The whole league is thinking about how to shut down the combination of Mahomes and the rookie. We've reached a consensus that the key is to defend the front line."

Li Wei disagreed with this.

In Li Wei’s view, the key to dealing with the Kansas City Chiefs is actually in their second line of defense.

If the opposing defense uses the safety's high post defense to cut off Mahomes's threat of sneaking long passes, forcing Mahomes to make a lot of short passes, it's like crippling Mahomes' most relied-upon lethal weapon, forcing him to lower his stance and fight the defense head-on. In this way, not only will Mahomes face increased pressure, but Levi will also face many challenges, and the Kansas City Chiefs' advantage in offensive rhythm may be halved.

Li Wei and Reid discussed these ideas in depth during the offseason, and the coaching staff is also devising targeted plans to prepare for any eventuality.

After all, if Li Wei could see it, it was only a matter of time before the league's defensive coaches also figured it out.

But Li Wei has no intention of reminding them to avoid shortening the time it takes for their opponents to catch up. If the focus of each team in this year's draft remains on the defensive front line, then Li Wei would be very happy to give them a push.

Hubble then changed the subject, "What exactly is going on with Okuda?"

Li Wei waved his hand, "No, it's just an intuition."

Hubble: "Intuition? You can only fool those team owners."

Mara: ??? I have no grudge against you, why...?

Li Wei laughed out loud, "I'm serious. It's just my gut feeling. I personally don't like Okuda's playing style; his use of the body isn't my preferred approach." Such a capricious opinion?

Is it because Hubble saw through Livy's strategy of misleading people that Livy has now given up entirely? How could Livy be so easily breached?

Hubble, "What do you mean?"

Li Wei said, "From the perspective of mixed martial arts, his way of exerting force at the moment of impact and confrontation was wrong, and his habit of using his body was incorrect. If he was not careful, he could have caused muscle tears."

Mixed martial arts?

This was a topic that Hubble hadn't anticipated at all. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that you used to be a mixed martial arts fighter."

Li Wei waved his hand, "Let's not talk about the past."

Hubble burst out laughing at his humble demeanor. "You mean injuries? I know Okuda had some shoulder injuries this year, but he recovered well and the examinations showed no lingering problems. This should be the only injury Okuda sustained during his time at university."

Li Wei did not argue further. "That's why I said it was my intuition."

Li Wei met Hubble's skeptical and confused gaze. "This is just my opinion, there's no need to take it to heart. You should look at our team's owners, they completely ignore my advice. Sigh, people say the Kansas City Chiefs are my team, but actually I'm just a puppet."

He spoke while sighing deeply.

Hubble turned to look at Vickery behind him.

Viktor spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, seemingly having no idea how Li Wei's arrow had been aimed at him.

Hubble looked at Levi again, his thoughts lingering briefly: Intuition, seriously? Should he trust Levi's judgment?

Hundreds of eyes inside and outside the league scrutinized Okuda from every angle, yet they couldn't find any weaknesses or flaws. Was Levi just being unconventional? If Levi really intended to stir up trouble, shouldn't he have been more careful and clumsy in picking out all the generally accepted draft favorites?

True and false, false and true.

Frankly, Hubble had no idea how to judge it; it was a tricky situation.

But Hubble also knew that Levi was being meticulous, and that further investigation would not yield any breakthroughs, so he decided to stop while he was ahead.

In a short while, Hubble had gathered his thoughts, patted Levi on the shoulder, and said, "Give up. No team manager wants a louder voice in the locker room than their own."

So Brady left New England.

According to Hubble, Brady and the Tampa Bay pirates were probably mutually beneficial, and their short-term cooperation would end afterward, since two tigers cannot share the same mountain.

Li Wei: "But, is it permissible for the team to have both the team manager's and the head coach's voices?"

Hubble, who was comforting Levi's right hand, suddenly darkened his expression. "Are you attacking me now?"

Li Wei gave a mysterious smile. "Whoever fits into that description, that's who they are."

Hubble: ...

In the end, Hubble couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Hubble didn't stay long either. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he got up and left. It wasn't until now that Vickery had the opportunity to come to Levi's side.

“Finally,” Viktor said, half-jokingly.
