Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 392 391 Die Again
Despair.
Gronkowski looked at the locker room assistant, lifelessly. Losing tonight was already despairing enough, but the only consolation was that the season was finally over, though the Pro Bowl was still to come, the vacation had started.
However, who would have thought, it would be snatched away right before their eyes.
The locker room assistant was completely oblivious to the suffocating stillness around him, but he knew the news on social media wasn't friendly, and he hesitated.
But it was Brady; could he refuse him?
He couldn't.
Brady grabbed his phone, he didn't even need to type in keywords to see his timeline filled with news of the American League division game.
"Li Wei: New England Patriots performed flawlessly, but victory belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs."
"Smith Wanfu Mary, Li Wei one-handed catch, Kansas City Chiefs end New England Patriots' six-year streak of advancing to American League finals."
"'That catch' stole an epic victory from Gillette Stadium."
"Brady: I lost the game, Li Wei really was impressive."
"Season sweep over Brady, 'Rookie VS Goat', Li Wei '2:0' leading, Brady's nemesis 2.0 arrives!"
"Losing twice in a row to a rookie, is the League about to enter the Li Wei era from the Brady era?"
One after another, each more absurd than the last.
Brady wasn't a newcomer; he knew the nature of these media, had mentally prepared himself early, yet he was still shocked by their shamelessness, his veins bulging with uncontrollable rage.
Have these media brains turned to water?
Just two games in a season; was it really necessary?
Always talking about changing eras, always welcoming the new king to the throne, wait for the Kansas City Chiefs to clinch the Super Bowl Champions before making noise, otherwise it would be a joke if the Kansas City Chiefs were to capsize in the next match. Discover exclusive tales on novelbuddy
Moreover, all headlines were singing praises of Li Wei's victory, not a single media mentioned the fact that Kansas City Chiefs won by a narrow margin, not one; all using a Spring and Autumn period style to blur the focus and shift the emphasis continually stressing the fact Li Wei defeated Brady—

At a glance, Brady knew whose hand was behind this.
Goodell.
"Brady VS Manning", "Brees and Rodgers became elite quarterbacks", "Eli Manning: Brady's nemesis" and so on, all were Goodell's doings. Now, it was another newcomer's turn, evidently making Brady a stepping stone for stardom.
Brady clenched his fists, using all his strength but couldn't control himself, his arms and jaw trembling slightly.
Gronkowski looked worriedly at Brady: This guy wouldn't perform a burst-out here, right? With blood and brain matter all over the place, cleaning their jerseys would be a nightmare, bloodstains being the messiest.
Deeply, Brady took a deep breath, lifted his head to look around the locker room, and squeezed out word by word through clenched teeth, his tight voice scratching like chalk across a blackboard.
"Tomorrow, gather at the training base."
Gronkowski: That's it. The vacation, probably going to be torturous again.
The entire locker room was deathly silent, no one spoke, like a stagnant pool of water.
Brady raised his voice, "Why, unwilling?"
The players immediately denied, no no absolutely not.
Brady nodded his head in satisfaction.
"I know the holidays are coming up, and everyone's minds are all over the place, but we still have the Pro Bowl. The season is not officially over until the Pro Bowl is done."
"Come to the training facility tomorrow, and we'll review the game to see what went wrong in the second half."
Gronkowski couldn't hold back, "Tom, it's not a problem for us bachelors, but are you sure Gisele and the kids are okay with this?"
Gisele Bundchen, Brady's wife, has been the world's highest-paid model for the past fifteen years and is still top of the industry even now.
Brady was taken aback, his expression slightly unnatural, but he waved his hand dismissively, "It's fine, she'll understand, we all should make sacrifices for the team."
Other players: Heh, we're not really that willing to sacrifice.
But Brady didn't pay any attention, "That settles it then, tomorrow morning, 8:30. I know there aren't any games next week, so let's meet thirty minutes later than usual, and I don't want anyone to be late."
Gronkowski: A whole thirty minutes delay, how generous.
Glances in the locker room covertly sought Gronkowski for help, but he ignored them, knowing it was too late to change anything now, and he didn't want to infuriate Brady who just experienced a loss.
Just then, Belichick walked in, and saw Brady tossing his phone to a locker room assistant, the dazzling array of social media messages on the screen were clear without needing to read them.
Belichick's thoughts weren't on Brady, though; instead, he was thinking about Kansas City Chiefs' number twenty-three.
Belichick didn't mean to target the running back, as even the special teams were regarded differently in his eyes; he has always acknowledged the importance of ground attacks. Objectively speaking in a Football game, though, the game-changing players, quarterback, lineman, defensive end, or even possibly a wide receiver or tight end, don't generally include the running back—
The era of the running back has passed.
But now?
Li Wei was indeed changing the game, and Belichick couldn't help but think of Peterson, unsure whether Li Wei could go further than Peterson had?
In 2012, Peterson topped the regular season MVP, but in the first round of the playoffs, the Minnesota Vikings lost to the Green Bay Packers.
Now, Li Wei and the Kansas City Chiefs had already advanced to the American League finals.
Maybe they really should take note of the chemical reaction Li Wei brought to the Kansas City Chiefs. Belichick had a feeling that next season, Li Wei and the Kansas City Chiefs would still be bringing surprises, rather than being merely a shooting star.
Meanwhile, Li Wei had no idea he had already caught the attention of the League's most powerful dominator of the past fifteen years. While others still hesitated, Belichick had already demonstrated his wisdom, setting his sights on Li Wei.
However, the League was not yet focused on the future; attention still lay in the present, since the 2017 season wasn't over yet. But Li Wei remained an inescapable topic, and the focuses of the other two wildcard games still revolved around him.
The day after the two wildcard games had ended, the third and fourth wildcard games took their turns.
The first game, the center of everyone's attention—
The Jacksonville Jaguars on the road challenging the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Like the previous American League wildcard game, it was the new power challenging the traditional master, with the winner to compete with the Kansas City Chiefs for this season's American League championship.
After the Kansas City Chiefs' buzzer-beater against the New England Patriots, the media was all stirred up:
What if the Pittsburgh Steelers win?
That would mean the Kansas City Chiefs first take on the New England Patriots, then face the Pittsburgh Steelers, the teams respectively the number one and two seeds of the American League, both of whom lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season but meet again in the playoffs. Just imagining it, both on and off the field grudges are thrilling.
One could write a book about it!
Jacksonville Jaguars: ??? Does no one care to ask our opinion?
