Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 690: 689 scores the game-winning touchdown
 

Change of direction. Brake. Turn. Break away.

From beginning to end, Li Wei held his breath, transforming all that anger and frustration into fuel, intently focusing on what lay ahead, unleashing speed.

“Run, rookie! Run!”

Everything reverted to the simplest, most primal, most natural state, solely for the love of it, without the need for other toys or games. Fleeing beneath the sun, joy and happiness filled his chest.

Light as a swallow.

Spreading his arms, he felt the wild wind rush under them liberatingly and wildly, faster and faster, almost as if he could take flight.

Childhood was always so simple.

Huff, huff.

The wild wind howled, the very heart of Arrowhead Stadium began to race uncontrollably, one by one, the fans could no longer contain themselves and stood up.

Twenty-five-yard line.

Twenty-yard line.

Fifteen-yard line.

In a blur, all those white lines had been left behind.

Then.

Wendell appeared.

As the free safety among the safeties, Wendell was the last line of defense for the Baltimore Ravens. His first reaction was to keep a tight watch on Hill.

To guard against Mahomes’ sneak attack with a long pass.

But he had not expected that Mahomes would rely on a deceivingly realistic double running back tactic—actually employing a genuine ground attack with two running backs.

An unstoppable force.

The crisis was suddenly imminent.

Wendell shook off Hill, cutting inside quickly, holding his breath and tense all over, not giving Li Wei a chance to continue charging forward.

Step in, collide.

In the blink of an eye, without any room to breathe, the collision occurred.

A hard, head-on crash, comparable to a car accident.

Then, one person flew out.

“Huh!”

“Wendell! Wendell has been sent flying. God!”

Nantz was slack-jawed, not believing his eyes—

Li Wei, with the combined force of strength and speed, literally sent Wendell flying like a severed kite, Wendell’s surefire interception attempt merely caused Li Wei’s unstoppable speed to pause for half a second.

Just half a second.

Immediately after, Li Wei continued forward.

Ten-yard line, already within reach.

“Humphrey!”

“Jesus Christ!”

“Humphrey hasn’t given up yet, Humphrey is still in pursuit, closing the distance, he’s about to grab Li Wei’s shoulder.”

Humphrey was on fire; he would not give up nor surrender—

That’s what Li Wei taught him, the game isn’t over until the last moment; they must fight to the last, exhausting all energy.

Ah, ah ah ah.

Humphrey, transformed into a blaze of fire, took advantage of the brief stall from Li Wei’s collision with Wendell, unbelievably closed in, his left hand reaching for Li Wei’s shoulder.

Without time to exert force, Li Wei had already restarted.

Humphrey, not caring about committing a foul, grabbed instinctively at Li Wei’s jersey, but his fingers couldn’t tighten completely, and the two entangled amidst the jostling and chaos.

Humphrey simply threw his body forward, tumbling into Li Wei, his staggering steps interrupting Li Wei’s rhythm, stubbornly entwining together.

Ten-yard line.

Li Wei was still charging forward, still breaking free, an emergency brake attempted to shake off the pursuer behind him.

“`

But Humphrey completely gripped Li Wei’s jersey refusing to play defense, lost his balance forward, and instead tried to block Li Wei’s path by stretching out horizontally in front of him.

Li Wei restarted, using his shoulder against Humphrey, pushing forward like a bulldozer.

The five-yard line.

Uh, ahh, Humphrey exerted himself, planting his feet firmly on the ground, using almost all his strength to resist Li Wei, trying to stop him.

Ah, ah-ah, Li Wei exerted himself too, stomping, stomping, continuously stomping, propelling himself forward with the ferocity of a charging bull.

A standoff, a stalemate.

But it was only for a brief moment, as the burst of power from Li Wei broke the balance, Humphrey felt his strength give way, and before he could react, he was airborne, freed from gravity’s grip, and the sky turned a surging sea of red.

Ahh, ahh-ahh.

Li Wei held nothing back, one step, two steps, heavy as a mountain; three steps, four steps, unstoppable—

The end zone!

Righteously, unstoppably.

Humphrey once again felt the pull of gravity, crashing back into Mother Earth’s embrace, watching helplessly as Li Wei stood in the end zone, towering, like a giant, holding up the sky of the Arrowhead Stadium with the evening twilight above.

Just like before at Bryant-Denny Stadium, as if nothing had ever changed.

“Ah! A walk-off!”

“This is a walk-off touchdown!”

“Incredible! God, incredible!”

“The Kansas City Chiefs did it, Li Wei did it, incredible!”

“After just facing an interception and a fumble, Li Wei not only controlled the fumble to clutch in a thread of hope and redeem himself, but he went even further. In a fourth-and-one situation, they used the double running back tactic, successfully deceiving the Baltimore Ravens Defense’s anticipation. Then.”

“Then…”

“The whole world belonged to Li Wei.”

“Li Wei, charging straight into the end zone, unstoppable, capped the game with a forty-seven-yard rushing touchdown, the Kansas City Chiefs win in overtime against the Baltimore Ravens with a walk-off.”

“A walk-off. A real walk-off!”

“God, this is just too thrilling, too exciting!”

Boom!

Felix watched the field, his mind thundering into blankness, all thoughts incinerated in an instant, leaving only one reaction—

Ah!

Shouting at the top of his lungs.

Ahh-ahh!

Like a madman.

Ahh-ahh!

A touchdown! A touchdown in overtime facing a fourth-and-one, relying on a forty-seven-yard long dash to the end zone for a walk-off touchdown!

Lost in ecstasy! Revel in celebration!

Felix could feel the entire Arrowhead Stadium erupt like a volcano, every inch of red in his vision boiling and burning, swelling into a sea of flames.

They won, they won—

Not just another victory, but a head-on clash against a playoff-caliber strong team, and a nail-biter with even odds; but this time, they didn’t falter at the last hurdle, clinching the win with an unmatched performance in the final moments.

Ahh-ahh!

Felix wanted to celebrate to revel, to savor this moment to the fullest.

“Rare, truly rare.”

“The Baltimore Ravens played a game full of vigor, strategy, and resilience, and with four minutes left to go, the away team still led by a touchdown, Harbaugh’s team proving with action that their three-win streak revival was no fluke, no stroke of luck, they truly had the power to surge into the playoffs.”

“Inconceivable as it is, after the game ends, the Pittsburgh Steelers need to thank the Kansas City Chiefs, for stopping the Baltimore Ravens from continuing their chase, winning a brief respite in the playoff seat battle.”

“Who knows whether Tomlin would want to.”

“But the real highlight of the game was still the Kansas City Chiefs, worthy of praise and anticipation, they created and seized the opportunity, proving their tenacity in a pinnacle showdown.”

“The number one seed in the American League, absolutely not just because of an easy schedule.”
