Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 526
Chapter 526: 525 Open up the situation Chapter 526: 525 Open up the situation Perhaps to others, Li Wei sweeping Brady in the season and then climbing to the Super Bowl summit should mean that Brady hates Li Wei to the bone.
However, the reality is different.
Brady never really took Li Wei seriously.
The few championship rings Li Wei has, the several regular-season games he won, the playoffs he managed to come through—none of those put him on Brady’s level.
It’s just not necessary, really not necessary.
Moreover, Brady himself was once in the same shoes, bursting onto the scene from out of nowhere, leading his team to Super Bowl glory with a Cinderella story, seemingly reaching the pinnacle of the world overnight.
But he quickly realized that this was just the beginning.
...
The real challenges were just starting.
The New England Patriots had become the kings of the League since the millennium, and nobody knew better than Brady the setbacks and trials they had faced.
So, it’s very, very hard for miracles to happen twice.
Everything, Brady had experienced firsthand.
Li Wei had borrowed a bit of luck from God to win the Super Bowl Championship, and Brady sincerely congratulated him without being nitpicky.
If Li Wei wanted to challenge him, or if he wanted Brady to see him as an equal opponent, then he should at least get a second championship ring before that.
As for someone like him, whose hand is full of championship rings, he always remains humble and low-key, never boasting about just winning another game.
Class, you know?
Class!
Quibbling with a kid whose face is full of acne would be beneath Brady, a degradation of his own value—he wouldn’t be so foolish.
The disgrace in the American League division game was just a minor incident.
So.
When Donald proposed the idea, Brady didn’t feel offended.
He just simply didn’t want to play nanny—that’s all, changing diapers and possibly having to teach Li Wei how to train and plan as if he were parenting a three-year-old.
He simply didn’t have the patience for that.
Moreover, Brady’s off-season training camps were always known for their high standards and intensity.
His goal was never merely to complete an outstanding season but to win victories and championships.
The training camp was not for fooling around, and the quality and intensity of the training could not be compromised.
What if Li Wei couldn’t keep up with the intensity and started whining and crying?
Would he then have to be responsible for babysitting?
No way.
Brady refused Donald without hesitation.
However, Donald wasn’t one to give up easily.
He persuaded Brady with points about media image and public relations strategy—
Imagine the reaction when the media finds out Brady and Li Wei were training together?
Even if Brady and Li Wei shared the same agent, there were plenty of players who, despite having the same agent, could not stand the sight of each other and never interacted, especially when considering the last season’s two biggest League highlights.
The off-season would suddenly become lively, and it would also help to prepare for the next season in advance.
Perfect timing, with Manning retired and Brady left fighting solo, he needed a new archenemy, because only an archenemy can create hot topics, draw attention, and bring more commercial sponsorship.
Interests can revitalize everything.
Brady, who had been in the League for over a decade, was very clear about how these “staged performances” worked.
He loosened his tone, indicating that he would reconsider, but at least he didn’t outright refuse again.
He would decide after coming back from vacation.
However, a twist that even Donald hadn’t anticipated broke out.
No sooner had Li Wei declined to participate in Brady’s training camp than Donald immediately made a connection—
“Watt?”
Donald tested waters with a question.
Li Wei nodded his head, “Right.
You’re still as sharp.”
Donald did not detect the sarcasm in the words, and responded matter-of-factly, “JJ just asked me for your phone number, and then this happened.”
Li Wei couldn’t help but give a wry smile, “So, what do you think?”
Donald’s mind immediately went into overdrive.
Even his toes could guess some of the potential developments that might follow.
What if Brady returned from vacation only to find himself rejected by Li Wei?
If it was after Brady had given the matter thorough consideration and nodded in agreement, only to be stood up by Li Wei?
The scene would likely be ugly.
But.
Taking a deep breath, Donald had made his decision, “Let’s go with your idea.”
Li Wei arched an eyebrow slightly, “Are you sure?
What about Tom?”
Donald, “Don’t worry, that’s what you hire an agent for, to handle these things.
Training with JJ will be good for you, too.”
Despite Watt being out for two seasons due to injuries, there was no doubt that he was still a flagbearer of the NFL, and in some ways, even more popular than Brady.
Due to the New England Patriots, Brady’s public image wasn’t great, with a series of stains left over the years from a win-at-all-costs mentality, including Spygate, the videotaping controversy, and Deflategate, one after the other.
Watt was different.
His on and off-the-field public image was nearly flawless, and coming from the defensive group showed people another side of football beyond the quarterback, which gave Watt prestige among the players.
For Li Wei to become friends and train with Watt would be beneficial from many perspectives.
As for Brady…
“Brady VS Li Wei” maintaining a hostile relationship could also be a good choice.
Donald thought, maybe he should placate Brady and then deliberately leak the news, stoking the flames, adding fuel early for next season’s matchup, setting a fierce blaze.
In an instant, Donald’s mind had already conjured up several different plans.
His thoughts paused, and Donald had already made up his mind, without further hesitation.
“So, when does the training camp start, and where is JJ planning to train?
Is there anything I can help with, like the venue?

Logistics?
Equipment?
Team?
Transportation?
Accommodation?”
Everything was overly simple, so much so that Li Wei was caught off-guard.
Originally, Li Wei thought he would need to expend a great deal of effort persuading Donald who he assumed would protect Brady’s interests, considering he was also Brady’s agent; however, Donald did not—
He dealt with the matter factually.
To be precise, Donald still considered Li Wei’s position and interests, even at the expense of Brady’s interests, to achieve a balance.
Now, Li Wei was a bit worried about how Donald would explain to Brady.
But Donald was right, that’s what agents are for.
However, Li Wei would not take Donald’s professionalism and considerations for granted.
Even in a cooperative relationship, mutual consideration is necessary.
“Thank you, Donald,” Li Wei said.
Donald was taken aback.
Li Wei didn’t pause any further, “As for the specifics, I am still waiting for JJ’s message.
I think JJ will have everything arranged.
You can see if there’s anything you think needs to be added based on your experience.”
“By the way, you might need to rent a house for me near the training facility.”
Donald had also recovered his wits.
The same partnership with different approaches greatly pleased him about his relationship with Li Wei so far.
Some seemingly insignificant details could make all the difference.
Donald, “No problem.
Have you guys decided on the training city?”
Li Wei, “Miami, we are planning to head to Miami.”
