“Burnett steps up, Hunter dodges, Hunter is ready to break through the gap!”
“But!”
“Burns!
Pittsburgh Steelers’ cornerback Burns intercepts Hunter.”
“Oh, that collision!”
“Burnett!
Burnett provides support, joining forces with Burns to tackle Hunter to the ground.”
“Hunter couldn’t break free.”
“Down.”
“End zone.”
“God, safety!”
“Pittsburgh Steelers!
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive group finally shows their energy, completely dominating the game.
In the end zone, Burnett and Burns joining to bring Hunter down, scoring a safety and widening their lead.”
“Incredible!”
“In this game, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been trying to increase the pace and intensity, but the Kansas City Chiefs are performing excellently, clinging tightly to the situation.The head-to-head conflict between the two strong teams hasn’t been able to produce a significant gap.”
“But now!”
“Ladies and gentlemen, Coach Mike Tomlin!
Allow me to introduce to you with great honor!”
“Coach Tomlin proves by his actions why he is still among the top coaches in the league.
Even without the number one running back, even without the number one wide receiver, he can still bring surprises through tactical deployment, showcasing the full strength that has made people take notice and anticipate since preseason.”
“From the offensive group to the special duty group to the defensive group, a seamless surge of offense.”
“Finally, the situation has come under the control of the Pittsburgh Steelers.”
Admiration, amazement, standing up with a slam on the desk—
“30:21”.
The Pittsburgh Steelers not only took the lead in the score but are actually further extending their advantage.
Since the second quarter started, they have created a thirty-to-zero tide, completely suppressing the defending champions’ youthful energy.
Burns: Ah, ahhh!
Finally!
After suppressing and then suppressing more, feeling frustrated and more frustrated, Burns, who has been invisible for the whole game, finally seized the opportunity to make his voice heard with a critical defensive play.
Even though his defensive target was Hunter, Burns roared towards Li Wei’s direction, his face flushed red, drenched in sweat, his eyes flashing fiercely.
The momentum, it fully exploded in the end zone of the Kansas City Chiefs—
Indeed, there’s no doubt that a safety is the most morale-damaging.
Not only do you encounter your opponent’s domination in your own end zone, but you also hand over the ball rights to them.
This is like being pushed to the ground in your own territory, and your opponent rubs it in again and again.
Morale takes a direct hit.
“The current situation is slightly precarious for the Kansas City Chiefs.”
“Firstly, objectively speaking, this is the normal trend predicted before the game.”
“From off-season preparations to preseason performance, the Pittsburgh Steelers are ready.
They are a mature team; off-season minor adjustments won’t affect the team’s performance in the new season.”
“Whereas the Kansas City Chiefs are still young.
After last season’s Super Bowl victory, the team underwent a series of changes from coaching staff to offensive group to the defensive group.
Everything is fresh, and they need to start from scratch.”
“Furthermore, after the switch at quarterback, an adjustment period is inevitable, especially since this is a young second-year quarterback’s first season starting.
Whether it’s the coaches or the fans, they need to give them time and space.
Even Superman needs time to change in a phone booth, let alone a rookie entering the league.”
“From preseason predictions, the two teams were expected to battle fiercely, but the Pittsburgh Steelers might have a slight edge in certain aspects.”
“That’s the premise.”
“All that’s happening now also proves the accuracy of the preseason predictions.”
“But does this mean that the Kansas City Chiefs are doomed to lose?”
“No, of course not.”
“The focus now is on how the young defending champion can shed his burdens, concentrate, and find his rhythm amid the fierce onslaught of his opponents.”
“And let’s not forget, the Pittsburgh Steelers are not perfect either.”
“After a game and a half of high-energy, efficient control, the Steelers have released all their energy without reserve.
Roethlisberger is not a quarterback who can maintain high efficiency throughout, and inevitably, their offense and defense will show flaws.”
“So, when the opportunity arises, the Kansas City Chiefs must seize it because there won’t be many chances like this, and if missed, they may be gone forever.”
“Of course, this won’t be easy, since the Chiefs themselves have also been significantly drained…”
The situation was indeed quite grim—
The cheers in Arrowhead Stadium were still boiling, yet there was an undercurrent of exhaustion, tension, and anxiety.
The louder the cries, the more urgent they seemed.
It was the same for the coaching staff and players of the Kansas City Chiefs.
During halftime, the team was not in a panic, even though there was a slight sense of gloom and irritation, as the second quarter’s performance was clearly not satisfactory; but the score was still even, so naturally, the mood was different.
After a big bowl of motivational speeches and several rallying cries, the emotions were roused.
Ready for the second half.
But.
The second half was not as expected.
The Pittsburgh Steelers did not crumble like paper tigers; instead, they turned into the Steel Curtain that hit them like a wall:
A touchdown run by Roethlisberger himself and a safety.
From the score to the situation, to the momentum, things suddenly turned severe.
Does this mean that the halftime strategies were all for naught?
What should be done next?
In the crowd, there was one exception—
Li Wei.
Annoyed, of course, he was annoyed, but it only lasted briefly.
Li Wei quickly pulled himself together.
The game was still ongoing.
Instead of dwelling on the past, it was better to focus on the present because the game was not yet over.
Li Wei approached, the first to help Hunter up, and gave him a pat on the shoulder.
After standing up, Hunter realized it was Li Wei.
He was about to stubbornly say something when Li Wei had already turned around, patting Mahomes, Kelsey, and the shoulders of the other offensive players, encouraging them and reminding them to leave the field.
Next, the Special Duty Groups took to the field, with the Kansas City Chiefs kicking off and the Pittsburgh Steelers returning to the offense, with Roethlisberger leading the charge.
That is to say, if the Chiefs wanted to turn the tide, they needed to start with the defensive group.
So.
Not just the offensive group, Li Wei made his way to the defensive group, not calling out or shouting, just giving high-fives to each player.
Calm, composed, and serene.
Even without words, Li Wei’s demeanor helped to steadied the somewhat anxious Kansas City Chiefs.
Houston was startled, “Rookie?”
Li Wei looked over and showed a smile, “The season has just started.
You don’t think this is the Himalayas already, do you?”
A simple jest, but it was enough—
Indeed, this was just the opening game.
A long season lay ahead with countless challenges waiting in line.
If they were already trembling with fear, it would be better to give up early and go back to farming, to avoid making a spectacle.
Moreover, they had fought through each game step by step last season.
How could they have become so delicate all of a sudden this season?
It was just the Pittsburgh Steelers after all, even without their star running back, were they that intimidated?
What poor spirit!
Look at Li Wei, unaffected and composed, sitting on a chair, legs crossed, drinking water, and sharing jokes with Coach Burns.@@novelbin@@
The faint sound of wind brought the hearty laughter of Clark and Burns who seemed to have grown accustomed to this scene.
As long as they followed Li Wei, they appeared fearless as if facing thousands of troops.
Quietly, one after another, the players of the Kansas City Chiefs straightened their backs and squared their shoulders, and after a brief moment of confusion, their eyes regained focus.
What do you think?
