Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 323: Hold On
The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

With great difficulty, the Kansas City Chiefs locker room finally got rid of the haze and got back on track; but the media's fanning the flames once again sowed the seeds of unrest.

Precisely because he anticipated this, the offensive team captain Kelsey took the initiative to clear the window paper in the locker room to prevent the players from talking behind their backs, which might lead to conflicts out of nothing, and everything was put under the sun.

As Kelsey said, others who try to accuse Levi of not focusing on the game would do well to think about how brutal this training maniac is.

Moreover, Levi left after the training yesterday and did not miss the training. Those media outlets were exaggerating and making alarmist remarks. He needed to remind those envious and jealous eyes that were ready to move——

In a tongue-in-cheek way.

Unexpectedly, the captain of the defensive team, Houston, also rarely spoke.

After saying that, Houston even looked at Levi.

"Rookie, there's no need to take the media's trash talk to heart."

Levi waved his hands, looking calm, "Their trash talk skills are too weak, they still need to improve. I'm more worried about the locker room."

Houston was stunned.

There is no need to make some things clear. If you do, it might be embarrassing. Levi should know this.

But Houston didn't interrupt Levi -

Sure enough, he didn't finish his words.

"I'm worried that you might have a heart attack after seeing the endorsement numbers, so I'm wondering if I should prepare some Christmas gifts to bribe everyone."

"but……"

"Look, what am I thinking, taking a rookie salary, doing a running back job, but here I am worrying about a quarterback, it's still too arrogant."

puff.

Instantly, the entire locker room burst into laughter, and everyone started to cheer.

Honestly, seeing the news that Levi might be about to sign another endorsement contract, envy and jealousy are inevitable. After all, Nike already exists, and Levi is just a rookie. However, most players in the league do not have personal sponsorship, so the media's exaggerations will take it too far.

But now, Levi said frankly that he is just a rookie player, and his salary may be a fraction of other players; plus he is a running back, the position with the lowest average salary among all offensive positions, so even if Levi gets more endorsements, it is reasonable -

After all, Levi has indeed performed well this season.

At the end of the joke, the conflict in the locker room that had not yet had time to sprout was extinguished in advance, and instead a disturbance broke out because of Levi's reminder.

"Alex!"

"Alex!"

"Alex!"

Smith, who was watching the show quietly, became the focus of attention for no apparent reason. He looked at everyone in the locker room with a puzzled look on his face, and it took him a long time to react:
These guys treated him like Santa Claus and openly asked for gifts.

There is no way. Unless a rookie is the starting quarterback, the quarterback is often the highest paid person on the team, with few exceptions.

How could Smith, a good guy, refuse? Since he couldn't refuse, he might as well enjoy it. He spread his hands and bathed in the applause and cheers, turning 360 degrees on the spot. Then he saw Levi and Mahomes who were shouting with great joy, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Outside the locker room door.

Childress turned to look at Reed, and the two exchanged glances - Reed was aware of what was happening in the media, and he also knew that it might cause a commotion in the locker room, especially as the playoffs approached. These unstable factors might be the key to the direction of the season.

They need to act, they need to take control of the locker room before a crisis arises.

But unexpectedly, the team captains also considered this situation, and with Levi's witty response, a potential crisis was resolved.

Childress sincerely admired him, "Coach, did you see these qualities in him and have already anticipated this moment?"

Otherwise, why would the Kansas City Chiefs be willing to take the huge risk of trading up and selecting Levi with the third pick?
Reid didn't show any special expression, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, "No, I didn't expect him to grow so fast."

If this matter is not handled properly, it may cause hidden dangers, but now it seems that from Kelce and Houston to Levi and Smith, the four of them have joined forces to control the situation, and Berry should not need to worry about the situation of the team.

Perhaps, after the ups and downs of this season, the Kansas City Chiefs can grow into a more mature team and truly have the soul of a team.

But Reed didn't say much, and waved Childress to leave.

however!
Unexpectedly, in later training, it was clearly seen that Levi kept a distance from other teammates, with only a few familiar faces such as Kelce and Mahomes silently accompanying him.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was a little off in the training atmosphere.

Reed: ???
Wasn't the matter already resolved? What was going on in front of me?

After thinking for a moment, Reed called Kelsey over privately to ask her about it, but got a ridiculous answer.

"what?"

Kelsey looked at Reed, who was speechless, and explained with a smile, "It's a prank. The rookie said it's called spy warfare, to confuse the opponent and see if they will fall for it."

Everything was proposed by Levi——

Since the media is trying to divide the locker room, they are playing along.

In daily training, he deliberately created the illusion of isolating and dividing Levi, waiting for the media to continue fanning the flames to see if the Los Angeles Lightning would be fooled.

"When the official competition starts, we will give our old rivals some surprises," Kelsey said.

Reed looked at Kelsey, who was smiling and ready to fight, and said nothing more. He motioned for Kelsey to return to the team and said, "Be careful, don't overdo it."

Watching Kelsey's back, Reed couldn't help but admire Levi's intelligence.

The prank was just an excuse, an excuse to unite the whole team and face the outside world in one voice. When they worked together to perform pranks to tease the media and deceive their opponents, they were partners in the same ship, and the last bit of disagreement and uneasiness would disappear without a trace.

If we can get to the Los Angeles Lightning, that would be a bonus; but if not, it doesn’t matter, the important thing is that the whole team is working towards the same goal.

After all, there have been more or less frictions between the players and the media reporters. Even a good guy like Smith is attacked by the media every day. Now they finally have the opportunity to retaliate, and one or two of them are extremely enthusiastic.

This is the point.

Looking at Levi's figure again, Reed's eyes showed a hint of admiration.

really--

After the training, the media reporters immediately aimed their cameras at Levi. Levi, who was usually at ease in front of the media, ignored the media with a gloomy and dejected look on his face, and hurriedly passed by. No matter how the media shouted, they could not stop Levi.

Until Li Weiyuan left, the reporters exchanged glances with each other, and a hint of excitement appeared in their eyes:
Haha, even a rookie has this day!
