Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1591 The Draft Storm
The rookie training camp has come to a close, filled with surprises, unexpected events, expectations, and buzz. Lucas Oil Stadium also felt the arms race atmosphere that had been spreading throughout this offseason, with all teams in the league coming out in full force and giving it their all.

The NBA draft has always been a highlight of the offseason, and this year it has gone even further, with all sorts of topics flying around. You can clearly feel the fierce competition, and you can even foresee the unique nature of the 2020 season without waiting for the season to start.

A contest. A game of strategy. Information warfare.

They were incredibly busy, working day and night to collect and analyze information, searching for the truth from the overwhelming sea of ​​information, and finally making a judgment.

However, just as everything was progressing smoothly and ready, a global storm arrived, disrupting all plans with devastating force. People who had already rolled up their sleeves and started the game were all forced to press the pause button, and their daily lives switched to another mode.

A crisis loomed ahead, but the alliance ultimately stood firm.

The talent show was held as scheduled.

As originally planned, this year's draft will be held in Las Vegas to celebrate Las Vegas finally having its first football team, and also to celebrate the league's return to the new city after many years of silence, marking the beginning of a new chapter after the NFL's centennial season.

Now, the draft has been moved online.

Thirty-two teams connected via live stream from their respective training facility offices, while all rookie players connected via live stream from their homes, awaiting the news to be compiled at the NFL headquarters office. Finally, Goodell announced the results via live stream from his own home, fully leveraging the advantages of modern high technology to complete the task.

Everything was arranged, yet an uncertainty still lingered in the air.

In previous years, in addition to the league's official rookie training camp, teams would hold their own rookie training camps and extend invitations to rookies they were interested in; colleges would also hold their own Pro Days, which were open to all teams, with the aim of promoting their players and attracting more attention.

In other words, teams can conduct targeted and in-depth assessments based on the data from the rookie training camp, and closely test rookies face-to-face. This is the final round of investigation and screening before the draft, allowing teams to comprehensively determine their draft strategy.

however!
The cancellation of all training camps deprived teams of the opportunity to observe players up close, and scouts of the chance to speak directly with players, completely disrupting the plans.

The offseason arms race revealed that all 32 teams in the league were secretly sharpening their weapons, full of expectations for the new season, with their fighting spirit burning brightly. All signs pointed to a fierce battle in the new season, but at the critical moment when enthusiasm and momentum were rising, they encountered a blockade, the tense situation fell into chaos, the rhythm was disrupted, and the prospects were once again shrouded in uncertainty.

Variables are often like this; no one likes them. But when faced with the same variable, it can be a crisis for some and an opportunity for others. How one confronts variable, adjusts and responds to it, and manages the chaos it brings can lead to drastically different outcomes.

Who is the true hero? The moment of truth is about to be revealed.

After all, the current situation is the same for everyone, which creates a fair environment and puts everyone on the same starting line, including the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The real test of the team's management will come next.

Amidst turmoil and uncertainty, the 2020 NBA Draft was held as scheduled.

The atmosphere is completely different!
This applies not only to the teams and rookies, but also to the fans.

Nevertheless, the draft is still the draft. Without the green room, without the live audience, without the close-knit gathering, the atmosphere of fierce competition remains unchanged. On the contrary, due to the limitations of online streaming, the inability to directly observe the opposing teams' actions makes suspicion and speculation even more apparent in the slightest movement. Team managers are all worried about not being able to accurately assess their own position.

There was no noise, no commotion, no rising temperature. The team manager, head coach, and their draft team were all in the war room at their team's base, ensuring 100% quiet and focus. But beneath the calm surface, the undercurrents were becoming more turbulent and tense.

Then--

"...Joe Burrow, quarterback, Louisiana State University." Without a doubt, the Cincinnati Bengals used their first overall pick to select the widely expected Burrow, welcoming their new cornerstone quarterback with open arms.

After the rookie training camp, all the speculation and concerns surrounding Burrow vanished. The Cincinnati Bengals still chose Burrow, the most watched, recognized, and popular rookie this year, which was called a "choice that didn't require any thought" by all professionals and scouts.

The top scholar title ultimately went to Bo Luo.

Without the spotlight, the thunderous applause, or the grand moment of the team owner handing over the jersey and summoning a flurry of flashing lights, Burro was slightly disappointed; but at home, surrounded by family and friends, Burro still had his own glorious moment.

Standing before the live broadcast camera, Boro gazed at the lens with clear, bright eyes. Without uttering a word or making any unnecessary movements, he simply clenched his fists, silently and intently watching. His heart pounded with excitement, his muscles trembling slightly from tension and anticipation. He remained rooted to the spot, as if making a vow, silently announcing his arrival—

Li Wei, are you ready? Here I come.

He will prove with his actions that Levi's vision and judgment were wrong. He will prove on the field that he is the best quarterback this year. He will defeat Levi in ​​a fair game to prove that he is the future of the league.

Jaren Hertz?

Ha, don't be ridiculous! Li Wei tried to use his influence to confuse the public, promote his college comrades, and turn the tide of the talent show, but Li Wei's dirty tricks ultimately failed, and the Cincinnati Tigers were not fooled.

He, Joe Burrow, is the number one pick!

With just a glance, he stared intently and passionately at the camera lens, yet delivered a declaration more powerful than any roar or howl.

Meanwhile, in Kansas City.

"Newbie..."

"Rookie! It's already started! The first picks have all been chosen!"

Watt's shouts came from inside the house, but received no response. As a result, Mahomes, Kelsey, and the others all joined Watt in shouting.

"The talent show has begun!"

backyard:……

There was complete silence and no response. Just when they thought Li Wei had disappeared, Li Wei's voice finally came.

"The steak is done grilling, but the corn and sweet potatoes will take a little while. You can take your plates out now."

Clearly, borough is not as important as steak—

Was Boro's flirtatious wink meant for a blind man?
