Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 478: Taking as one pleases Chapter 478: Taking as one pleases “Number twenty-three!”

“Number twenty-three breaks through the front, like a bulldozer flipping two defensive players with a joint block.

Unstoppable!

Absolutely unstoppable!”

“Sharp stop!

Change of direction!”

“Shake off!”

“Li Wei is still advancing, the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group is in complete disarray.”

“Third Gear, four yards, easily converted, and he rushes forward for seventeen yards.”

…

“Li Wei, Li Wei breaks free from the tackle!”

“Brake, turn, Marseille Turn—beautiful!

Li Wei breaks free again, the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group still can’t stop the Edgerunner!”

“My God!”

“Five yards!

Ten yards!”

“Eighteen yards!”

“Another, another ground gain of significant yards, the Kansas City Chiefs have penetrated deep into the territory of the Philadelphia Eagles.”

…

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Fake run, real pass, the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group is completely thrown off, their attention fully fixed on Li Wei and failing to keep up with Smith’s pace.”

“Smith connects with Hill, beautiful, the first attack easily secured.”

Like flowing clouds and crashing waves—

Returning from halftime, the Kansas Chiefs Offense seemed as if their reins were removed, the entire offense smooth and sharp, relaxed yet coordinated in their passing and rushing game, leaving the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group utterly bewildered and led by the nose.”

It’s not that the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group isn’t trying—they still try, focused, committed, one hundred percent; but the rhythm and state are just off, with the offensive routes of the Kansas City Chiefs completely opening up.”

Smith with three passes, three completions, Li Wei and Hunter teaming up for five rushing plays, facing only a single Third Gear, their offense flowing like quicksilver, spectacularly making Collinsworth in the broadcast room tingle from head to toe.”

In less than three minutes, the Kansas City Chiefs have already entered their opponent’s twenty-yard line, their unstoppable offensive force utterly disorienting the Philadelphia Eagles.”

What…

What’s going on?

Something feels off; initially, it was supposed to be the Philadelphia Eagles soaring with morale and pressing their advantage, but unexpectedly, the Kansas City Chiefs turned the tide with full firepower.”@@novelbin@@

Only until now did the Philadelphia Eagles wake up, finally stabilizing their stance.

They brought out the fourth-ranked Red Zone defense of the season, resisting on the seventeen-yard line, engaging in a desperate battle with the Kansas City Chiefs.”

A crucial hit on Smith finally breaks the one hundred percent pass completion rate of this offensive drive.

A key pass deflection, snatching the ball from Kelsey’s grasp, intercepts the pass and directly pushes the Kansas City Chiefs into a Third Gear, ten yards’ predicament.”

Ah, ah, ah.

Bradham roars out loud, and the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group also reveals their fighting spirit.

Third Gear, ten yards, a predicament.

It is a test for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

However, Smith is not panicked; from all passes completing to two consecutive failures, nearing the end zone, he could feel the opponent’s defensive intensity and density increase, yet Smith’s gaze remained firm.

“Attack!”

The game starts, Smith doesn’t pause, his turn decisive as he hands the football off to Li Wei—

Is this a run play?

Because Smith is so firm and decisive, the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group hesitates, worried that this might be a smoke bomb by the Kansas City Chiefs, especially since similar tactics had caused them trouble in the first half.

Besides, it’s Third Gear, ten yards; shouldn’t Reed keep passing the ball?

But on second thought, Smith failed his last two passes, so running the ball now seems normal.

A brief pause, a flurry of guesswork, and just like that, the fleeting complexity saw Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group players missing their chance to react.

Li Wei!

Bradham’s pupils shrank, hardly believing that Smith would actually hand off the football to Li Wei.

Without any tricks or feints, it was Li Wei.

Li Wei, with no hesitation or pauses, it was clear he was aiming to save time.

He didn’t even try to create space, breaking through directly from the right slot.

Fast, that’s the word.

From Smith’s kick-off to Li Wei’s run, everything was seamlessly connected, capitalizing on the Eagles’ subtle mindset of watching and waiting.

Li Wei had already shot past the line of scrimmage, straight ahead.

Bradham: Crap.

The Philadelphia Eagles used a “4-3” defensive formation, with four defensive linemen and three linebackers.

So, once the defensive line failed to cause enough interference and pressure against the running back, it put enormous pressure on the linebackers.

For example, right now.

Li Wei seized a brief opportunity and was assisted by his offensive line teammates.

The offensive tackle notably made a blocking move, and in just a split second, Li Wei had broken through from the slot.

Bradham sounded the alarm immediately, stepping up without any hesitation—

Tackle.

Tackle.

Tackle.

Bradham’s mind was crystal clear, without a single other thought, focusing entirely on Li Wei.

Then, he saw a flash of red coming straight at him.

He got him!

Bradham spread his arms wide and, in the narrow gap, caught hold of Li Wei.

Li Wei was trying to save time, breaking through from the slot where space was limited and without much room for adjustment.

Once Bradham caught up with his response time, Li Wei had no way out and could only collide head-on.

So, yes, Bradham did tackle Li Wei.

But did Li Wei not have a backup plan?

Of course, that was impossible.

Stomp the ground, step up, collide—

At the moment of contact with Bradham, Li Wei powered through.

Far from backing off, he shifted slightly to one side and slammed his left shoulder squarely into Bradham’s chest.

In an instant, he exerted force.

Bang.

Bradham, while reaching out his arms to tackle Li Wei, felt an explosive force at his chest upon contact.

A dull impact.

Bradham’s limbs stiffened, his brain froze solid, his body numb all over.

Similarly, Li Wei also felt the harsh backlash, causing his steps to retreat slightly; but instead of resisting it, he used the reaction force to create some distance.

He planted his left foot, supported himself with his right, and began to rotate counterclockwise.

With his balance wavering and strength coalescing, he held his breath and completed the turn.

Then, he took a sideways step to the right, already creating space during the lateral move.

Bradham, realizing Li Wei’s intention, clenched his teeth and followed closely but didn’t expect another figure to switch places with Li Wei, intercepting right in front of him.

It was Kelsey.

Bradham couldn’t stop in time and collided full-on with Kelsey.

Already unstable and with his lower stance unguarded, that collision sent Bradham tumbling.

His knees gave way, and he plopped down, the world spinning around him, his vision darkening, with only a buzzing noise left in his ears.

Meanwhile, Li Wei, thanks to Kelsey’s blocking, won a moment to catch his breath, but not much.

The tussle in the slot had cost him a little time, so that he lost his lead.

Cornerback Ronald Darby was already in position.

Darby was also a player transferred from the Buffalo Bills during the off-season, but he suffered an ankle sprain in the season opener, missing the second game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

It wasn’t until the end of the season that he returned, seizing the starting cornerback spot for the Eagles with conviction.

In that moment, Darby stood poised and vigilant in a stance reminiscent of an eagle preying on a chick, his focused and profound gaze burning with fighting spirit.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
