Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 867 Colorful Auspicious Clouds
The Super Bowl was far below expectations, with ratings dropping sharply, and netizens flocked to social networks to ponder and complain.

However, the game was too boring, with strikeouts, punts, kickoffs, and another strikeout. This cycle was no different from the meaningless back-to-back passes in midfield in football. Even if one complained about it, it would only be boring to the point of making one sleepy. A joke would become boring if it was repeated a hundred times.

Until Bart came on the scene.

"Kiss the donkey's ass?" Lawson, an honest man, couldn't understand Bart's brain circuit at all. "Blair, are you sure?"

Bart shrugged lightly. "Why not? In my opinion, I can't lose. The Los Angeles Rams are in control. This season, they have been relying on the offensive team to carry the team forward, so that people always ignore the key role played by Donald. This defense team also has the ability to carry the team forward."

Obviously, someone disagreed, "Oh, no, Blair, I don't agree, the Los Angeles Rams have barely won a game this season with their defense..."

It's not just one or two people. Bart has once again become the target of public criticism and is in a dilemma.

However, "within the alliance" is no longer important. Netizens' attention is completely focused on Bart's bet. Various complaints are overwhelming, and one by one they have begun to show their own weird bets, launching strange confrontations.

At first, it was still about betting on winning or losing the game; but slowly, it started to go off track.

"I bet the Los Angeles Rams score first, or I'll eat my shoes live."

"I bet the Kansas City Chiefs get a touchdown first, or I'll eat shit live."

"I bet the Los Angeles Rams can't get a first down on their next offense, or I'll get spanked by my girlfriend on livestream."

It is becoming more and more outrageous and ridiculous, and it can be regarded as a great display of human IQ.

Regardless, the discussion about the Super Bowl has finally regained some of its heat, and the desolate social networks have finally felt some warmth.

Never been treated so coldly.

Because the game still didn't improve in the second quarter.

Los Angeles Rams, strikeout.

Kansas City Chiefs, strikeout.

Los Angeles Rams, strikeout.

The two teams took turns to play, and five minutes passed, but the score was still "0:0".

Not scoring is bad enough, but what's worse is that both teams kept circling around the scrimmage line, not daring to step beyond the line even a little bit, circling around their own half the whole time, and even had difficulty getting a first attack. What should we watch in such a game?
Even complaining doesn't interest me.

Accident, 100% accident.

In the live broadcast room, Nantz also had to look up the information to confirm it.

"So far, the lowest halftime score in Super Bowl history occurred in the 1974 season, when the Pittsburgh Steelers played against the Minnesota Vikings. That year, the halftime score of the Super Bowl was '2:0', with only one safety point."

"But the problem is that at the time, both teams were strong defensive teams, and here we are two strong offensive teams. This situation is really... very strange."

The mental state is this:

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

The Kansas City Chiefs were full of momentum in the opening stage and showed a determination to win, but they fell into a slump after a series of mistakes including interceptions, missed free kicks, and quarterback drops, which led to a delay in scoring.

Young teams will face this kind of problem. When things are going smoothly, they will be able to defeat anyone they meet. However, when they encounter a head-on wall, they don’t know how to turn and often end up with a bloody head.

So, what to do?
Start with the defensive team?
This is the case with the Los Angeles Rams. McVay's defensive frontcourt pressure strategy has significantly increased in frequency and intensity, trying to rely on defense to delay the game and gain room for adjustment for the offensive group.

On a strategic level, this is correct, because "defense wins championships." If the Kansas City Chiefs had such a defensive force, Reid would also take such an approach. A truly strong team should learn to use its shortcomings and hidden weapons to win when it is in a slump, just like the New England Patriots; but the point is that they don't have such strength -

Houston tried very hard to keep up with the pace, but the AFC Finals was too exhausting. In this game, Houston's competitive state was obviously not up to par, and now the overall rhythm and intensity cannot be improved.

Moreover, neither the Kansas City Chiefs nor the Los Angeles Rams rely on defense to win. Giving up offense and focusing on defense is unreliable no matter how you look at it.

Standing on the sidelines, Reid's brain was working. He took a step forward, covered his mouth with the tactical board, and quickly gave instructions to Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs still need to rely on the offensive team to open up the situation.

What if all the passing weapons fail?
"Give Levi the football," Reed said.

Mahomes nodded without hesitation and looked at Levi with a firm gaze.

If possible, Mahomes also hopes that he can become the hero who steps forward to save the team; but he knows that he is still not mature enough, so he needs to learn from Levi and continue to grow.

Mahomes also believed that the hero who came to the Mercedes-Benz Dome on a colorful cloud to revitalize the offense and save the field was Levi.

Mahomes and Levi exchanged glances, and Levi immediately understood.

The passing attack was blocked, short passes and medium passes encountered intensive defense, and the front line encountered strong pressure and passing. The entire offense and defense confrontation was tightened, which meant that they still needed to tear through the defense line from the ground.

This is not easy, but Levi is ready.

Aaron Donald!
In the eleventh week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs focused fully on passing offense, and Mahomes did play a classic game, so the ground offense did not get much space, which is an objective fact; but at the same time, Levi's performance was mediocre when facing Donald, without many breakthroughs, which is also an objective fact.

Since then, Levi has been looking forward to meeting Donald again.

Now, the opportunity has finally come.

Levi couldn't help but lick his lips and control his excitement. What he needed now was not excitement and passion, but calmness and concentration.

For example, Donald was too excited and too excited today, his state was a little tense and his rhythm was a little messy. He is far from his best condition now.

For example, although Donald's performance was slightly below expectations, the rest of the Los Angeles Rams' defensive front line performed well, ensuring continued pressure output.

Therefore, if breaking through from the ground, Levi needs to be wary of Houston but cannot just focus on Donald.

"attack!"

Mahomes calls the snap.

No hesitation, no tricks, just a turn and the ball was handed directly to Levi without hesitation, aiming for a quick connection.

Since the start of the game, although the Kansas City Chiefs have chosen ground offense several times, the overall tactics still focus on passing, especially short passes, which is a tactical strategy adjusted around Donald's personal characteristics.

Now, the Kansas City Chiefs should focus on themselves first rather than Donald, so the Kansas City Chiefs put the football back on the ground.

Mahomes did not use pass screen in the hope of buying time for Levi.

Push off the ground, start, and change direction.

Li Weiwei took the ball and immediately moved to the right. He moved forward and, not surprisingly, saw a royal blue gust of wind rushing towards him head-on.

Aaron Donald.
