Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 527: 526 Watt by name Chapter 527: 526 Watt by name Miami, located in Florida on the Southeast corner of the North American continent, boasts a pleasant climate and spacious view, suited for a slow-paced life facing the bloom by the sea.

Countless retirees choose to settle here for their twilight years, earning it the nickname “God’s Waiting Room.”

Of course, across the Gulf of Mexico, one can see Cuba and Guatemala, so close at hand, establishing a particularly close relationship with South America; even hailed as the “Capital of South America”, Miami is enriched with a unique charm, becoming a melting pot of various cultures and ethnicities.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Miami had been a haven for crime, leaving behind a variety of legends that are still circulated to this day.

Nowadays, countless professional athletes choose to settle in this city.

Two of women’s tennis greats, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, have both made it their home; furthermore, basketball, football, and other sports are no exception.

Every year during the offseason, athletes return here to spend their long holidays, partying and reveling, effortlessly relaxing the tightly wound nerves of the entire season, thoroughly enjoying the luxury of squandering time.

From such a perspective, Miami certainly isn’t the best choice for offseason training—

the temptations are too many.

However, that is not the case, as many athletes choose to come to Miami for training.

Setting aside the agreeable climate, the sea and the beach serve as perfect training grounds, using the resistance of sand or sea water to increase the difficulty of the training, thus naturally creating an optimal training environment outside of competition arenas; coupled with the numerous vacationing athletes, it makes it easy to find training partners and spontaneously form one’s own mini training camp, further making Miami one of the hottest destinations for offseason training.

“…I like it here.”

“Ha, it’s temptation everywhere, and one slight misstep might dazzle your eyes.

A single phone call could have you tossing and turning, abandoning all previous efforts.”

“Oh, how so?”

“You see, if you head to a bitterly cold place like Wisconsin for training, due to environmental reasons, life is forced into a training mode with just two points of travel between the training ground and dormitory.

Focusing on training isn’t a choice.

But here, every day comes with different temptations, and if we can still focus on our training, it’s entirely our own choice, a test of willpower.”

“Hmm…

So, that’s how you convinced Brittany, huh?”

Mahomes was able to discern the profound implications in Li Wei’s words and gaze, chuckled twice, scratching his head shyly and awkwardly.

“What do you think?

Convincing?”

Li Wei’s lips tightened—

In his opinion, it wasn’t convincing at all.

Heading to icy, snowy climates to hone one’s willpower and adapt to the cold clearly seemed like a better choice; in comparison, Miami was practically paradise.

But, he wasn’t the one to judge that decision.

“What did Brittany say?”

“She agreed, so here I am,” Mahomes began rubbing his hands, brimming with uncontrollable excitement and joy, “Rookie, thanks for inviting me to join the training camp.”

Li Wei shrugged lightly, “We needed a quarterback, and in my view, you were the best choice; of course, not being able to invite Rodgers was also a significant reason.”

An offhand joke that made Mahomes burst into hearty laughter.

Watt Training Camp, encompassing physical and technical training for both the offensive and defensive groups, invited twenty people in total, covering all positions, allowing for small-scale seven-on-seven matches like in five-a-side football, ensuring the offseason training brought about substantial improvements.

Naturally, they needed to invite players for different positions, at least one, sometimes two or three.

Mahomes was recommended by Li Wei.

“Trust me, he won’t let everyone down,”

Li Wei guaranteed.

In fact, here, both Watt and Li Wei had their own private agendas.

Just as Li Wei had invited Mahomes, Watt also wanted to invite the quarterback of the Houston Texans, Watson, hoping that their quarterback and friend could quickly develop and bring outstanding performances next season.

Moreover, Mahomes had only started once in an inconsequential game at the end of last season; Watson had been the main quarterback for the entire season.

Between the two, Watson still had the advantage.

Unfortunately,@@novelbin@@

Watson declined Watt’s invitation, stating that he needed to spend vacation time with his family.

Since Watson had said so, Watt did not insist, and Mahomes ended up serving as the quarterback for the training camp.

Mahomes could also feel the pressure and responsibility, eager to try his hand and ready to showcase himself during the off-season training camp.

Surprisingly, at the tight end position, Watt invited Kelce.

Originally, Li Wei thought that Kelce, having been in the league for many years, had his own arrangements and plans during the off-season; and since it was Watt’s training camp, he shouldn’t interfere too much, which is why he hadn’t invited Kelce.

Unexpectedly, Watt and Kelce were already friends off the field, and upon being invited, Kelce agreed without a second thought.

Along with that, Kelce brought his brother, Jason Kelce, who was undoubtedly a big surprise, being a Hall of Fame caliber center.

Brilliant and splendid golden sunlight pierced through the cloudless azure sky, showering down on a world that was clean and transparent, the abundant green conveying a hint of coolness amidst the vast blue, clearly still winter time, yet the eyes, pores, and chests were filled with summer.

Comfortable, pleasant, enchanting.

No wonder everyone loves Miami; even Donald asked Li Wei if he needed to purchase a property in Miami—who could refuse paradise?

When Li Wei and Mahomes arrived at the training ground, only then did they realize the real surprises hidden here—

Cameron-Jordan, the New Orleans Saints’ defensive end, one of the most excellent top defensive linemen of the past decade, has been a Saint since he entered the league in 2011—unassuming, sincere, dedicated, and hardworking.

It’s no surprise he and Watt could become friends.

Allen-Robinson, a wide receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars, led the league in touchdown receptions in the 2015 season, but he had played only one game this season before tearing a ligament and being coldly cut by the team, still without a team to this date.

It seems that Robinson is also slowly getting back on track; he and Watt must share many common languages.

And so on and so forth.

One could tell from the roster of training camp members, Watt wasn’t chasing big names or superstars, not even pursuing strength, purely motivated by friendship, setting aside competition and outcomes, a group of good friends gathered to train during the off-season, advancing, improving, and fighting together.

By the end of the training camp, friendships among Watt’s friends had also been established.

However,

things were not so simple, as not everyone was so calm and even-tempered.

Among professional players, there are too many with fiery tempers, self-importance, unruliness, and arrogance, with constant overt and covert struggles.

There was one right in front of them.

“Tsk.”

Upon seeing Li Wei take the stage, they clearly showed their disdain and contempt.
