Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1187 - 1186: Rising Higher

"He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere, he’s the Edgerunner, Li Wei Li Wei Li Wei!"

In the Old Oak Tavern, Carter raised both hands high, singing with all his might, releasing his excitement and fervor with abandon.

Everyone said this London Bowl might be the Kansas City Chiefs’ nemesis, just like the start of the past two seasons where the Chiefs’ winning streaks were ended, indications suggested the Los Angeles Chargers might turn the tables at Wembley Stadium.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs refused.

After two seasons of honing and growth, this team now had the ability to face any storm, refusing to easily hand over victory.

With an absolutely dominant stance amidst the opponent’s fierce and rapid attacks, just as the fierce rival, carrying a mere five-point deficit and a surging fighting spirit, was about to return to the locker room, the two-time defending champions with a swift assault once again declared their presence—

After a ten-game winning streak, they still craved victory.

That passion, that fervor, that urgency, continued to burn fiercely.

As a victorious fan, everything before Carter’s eyes was unfamiliar.

In the past, they only cared about winning or losing, only about the final score; if they won, they cheered, if they lost, they cursed, simple and clear.

But now, Carter truly felt the allure of the game, even victory had highs and lows, conflicts and battles lurking behind it, facing those challenges together, enduring the tension, then moving forward hand in hand, embracing the outcome.

It’s this process that makes victory so sweet and precious; and precisely because of the bitterness of defeat, the value of victory is highlighted.

In this era of social media, people are becoming increasingly anxious, with rising pressure and omnipresent difficulties placing modern society in a state of general depression, leading people to reject negative emotions, unable to even handle "abusive leads" in TV dramas—

Isn’t real life tough enough? Do we need more torment from TV and movies?

However, whether it’s TV, movies, or real life, without the contrast of pain and suffering, happiness and joy become increasingly difficult; if one refuses to face their negative emotions, the accumulated darkness will never be unleashed, eventually turning into toxins eroding one’s soul.

If you don’t face the darkness calmly, you can’t feel the brightness and warmth of the dawn.

Competitive sports are just like this.

Now Carter finally understood why in the past, supporting a team, even if they won, the victory seemed unable to fill the void and loss inside, because when the team lost, he would turn away, refusing to face the dark challenges with the team, only seeking the thrill of victory.

Thus, those victories also lost their meaning.

Up until now, experiencing such a roller-coaster season with the Kansas City Chiefs, facing adversity, facing tests, welcoming challenges together, Carter seemed to finally taste the essence of competitive sports.

"Felix, together. Together!"

Carter yelled at Felix sitting in his wheelchair.

"We’re fighting, haha, we’re fighting!"

Felix beamed, but didn’t stand up, Carter didn’t mind and turned to invite Karen.

Karen seemed unfazed, familiar with this scene, turned to the others in the bar, and called out to everyone.

"Hey, just because the team is at Wembley, don’t think we can slack off, what’s the Old Oak Tavern’s motto?"

In unison: Always fight side by side regardless of time and place! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Clumsy and uneven, yet filled with laughter.

Anderson watched the old customers in the tavern tease and banter, shook his head helplessly, then all the fans raised their hands high and jumped together.

As Karen said, even if the team wasn’t at Arrowhead Stadium, these fans remained on the front line, fighting alongside them.

"Li Wei Li Wei Li Wei!"

The entire Old Oak Tavern was in an uproar.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, London was no exception, the taverns and bars shared the same DNA, erupting in moments of competitive sports fervor simultaneously.

Boom!

A mushroom cloud rose high.

Boom boom boom!

The bars in the streets and alleys of London erupted with unimaginable energy, instantly igniting the night, spreading like wildfire throughout the city and land.

Lifting glasses, clenching fists, waving arms, cheers and shouts intertwined and collided, celebrating the Kansas Chiefs Offense’s remarkable performance.

In a football game, because it’s a turn-based confrontation, strategy and tactic play important roles. It often doesn’t change as rapidly as soccer or basketball, where the pace of offense and defense conversion can be exceedingly fast, creating upheavals before you even react, making it somewhat less exciting.

However, the Kansas Chiefs Offense showcased top-tier NFL level, in just forty-eight seconds executed a seamless stream of offense, not only agile and smooth but also brave and tough, coupled with smart tactical battles, displayed the extraordinary charm of football—

Brilliant!

It was just a game, or accurately, just the first half, and the Kansas City Chiefs had already conquered Wembley and London with an unmatched performance.

Especially Li Wei.

Mainstream media consistently emphasized that Li Wei had risen to the ranks of the world’s top stars, and that his annual income topped the Forbes list this year, occupying a spot on the global influence list.

But overall, due to the limited popularity of football, it was widely believed that Li Wei had a profound influence in the North American continent and Asia, while globally, it was relatively limited.

Soccer is the world’s number one sport.

Yet tonight, things quietly shifted.

Across the Atlantic, in the birthplace of modern soccer, Li Wei with extraordinary performance proved himself, for the hundred and eighth time proved himself:

He could stand at the pinnacle of the pyramid, he could break barriers and lead football to crossover, definitely not just the political correctness of the "Asian" label.

This rookie, real and genuine, was climbing to new peaks with his performance, step by step.

Everything, just like when basketball embraced Michael Jordan, tennis embraced Roger Federer, racing embraced Michael Schumacher, golf embraced Tiger Woods.

A sport, due to a genius’s rise breaking barriers and crossing over, expanding the sport’s influence itself.

Generally, people always believe, "Sports are greater than any individual," no matter which player retires or leaves, the sport continues to develop, the Professional League continues to operate, no one is greater than the sport; but with these few athletes, it is an exception.

Their existence itself is greater than the sport, as they leverage their breakthroughs to allow countless outsiders to newly understand their sport, expanding the market base and commercial impact, finally pushing the sport to new heights.

Now, it was Li Wei.
