Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 576

Chapter 576: 575 Easy and comfortable Chapter 576: 575 Easy and comfortable In the Smith era, the Kansas City Chiefs also used the Shotgun Formation, and they played the role of miracle makers more than once in last season’s playoffs.

However, since they were miracle makers, it meant they could not use this tactic often; it often needed to be reserved for critical moments to bring surprises.

Normally, Reed built a set of tactics based on Smith’s capabilities that mostly involved short to medium passes, which was the core of the Chiefs’ offensive strategy.

However—

Now?

In an instant, Tomlin sounded the alarm, his back covered in goosebumps that screamed crazily, all his nerves tensed to the extreme edge of snapping, and before he was fully aware, he had clenched his fists again.

Damn it!

Reed, still crafty.

...

Tomlin thought his six-man rush had caught Reed off guard; but in fact, Reed, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, had a backup plan, scattering five receiving points all over with the Shotgun Formation—

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary defense was empty.

Two cornerbacks, two safeties, and one linebacker, only five men, each had to mark an offensive player, resulting in the linebacker matching up against either Kelsey, Li Wei, or whoever else, all three positions were at a disadvantage in one-on-one matchups.

This also meant that Mahomes could find any three passing targets.

Damn, damn, damn, damn.

But there was a problem.

Why was Reed so sure that Mahomes could escape the sack and complete the pass?

So, was it Reed’s trust in Mahomes, or was Reed making a desperate move?

Come to think of it, does it matter?

No, it does not matter.

Because it was a ten-yard play, because the Kansas City Chiefs had two consecutive waves of smooth attacks, because it was the start of the game, Reed had every reason to take risks, even if it failed, it would startle the Pittsburgh Steelers.

And what if it succeeded?

Tomlin shuddered, not daring to imagine.

His gaze turned to the field.

Even as a spectator, Tomlin could not discern Mahomes’ passing target—

Li Wei?

Kelsey?

Or Hill?

Headache.

…

Upon starting, Li Wei released his speed without any reservation.

Just like a hundred-meter sprint.

Li Wei was somewhat exhilarated.

On one hand, it was because the team’s offensive strategy had undergone many changes compared to last season.

On the other, it was because it was his first time fully joining the strategy as a wide receiver, unlike last season’s half-baked cameo, he had undergone specialized targeted training during the offseason, which naturally brought changes.

Last play, Li Wei tried using Bell’s move.

This play, Li Wei tried something new from the offseason.

A bit of elation, a bit of excitement.

In an instant, his steps had already burst forth.

Peripheral vision allowed him to take in the scene ahead:

TJ was caught off guard and hadn’t kept up; Kelsey, who had darted out a step ahead of him, had not unleashed his speed but instead actively confronted the cornerback, allowing Li Wei’s steps to overtake him in a blink.

Ahead, safety Edmund was trying to match steps with Li Wei.

This offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ safety position had been rocked, last season’s starting quarterbacks both released into the free market, and after fierce competition in training camp, two safeties successfully ascended.

One was a junior Safety, Sean Davis, who had his season cut short last year due to an injury and missed the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The other was the rookie, Terrell Edmunds, who was picked twenty-eighth in the first round this year.

He and Tremaine Edmunds, who was selected sixteenth overall by the Buffalo Bills, are brothers.

They also made history as brothers being selected in the first round in the same year.

At that moment, Edmunds was matched against Li Wei.

The reason was simple: Edmunds was a Strong Safety, and facing a running back like Li Wei, he needed the more robust, more tough Strong Safety.

Edmunds could hardly contain his excitement—

His first game in his professional career was against the defending champions, and his first direct match was facing the Super Bowl MVP!

Did this scene look familiar?

Last season, under similar circumstances, Li Wei had defeated Brady and made a name for himself.

Now it was his turn.

He would prove his worth, and at the same time demonstrate that the twenty-eighth pick was in no way inferior to that Top Scholar on the opposing side.

He was ready.

He closed his eyes, and could even envision the flowers and applause, alongside the frustrating clenched fists and dusky faces at Arrowhead Stadium— he was set to embrace it all.

But, something seemed a little off.

Li Wei unleashed his speed without reservation, such that the preemptively positioned Edmunds had just started adjusting his small steps when the image of Li Wei in his pupils sped up like the twins in “The Shining.”

Indeed, coming straight on.

Li Wei didn’t evade but instead actively came closer.

Usually, Edmunds would have collided head-on, but faced with the daunting momentum of Li Wei, who was akin to a high-speed train, Edmunds instinctively retreated slightly to maintain his initiative.

Then.

Edmunds was like a kite fluttering in the air, with the string firmly in Li Wei’s hands.

He followed Li Wei’s steps past the slot into the central territory, swiftly merging with Hill who also cut to the center.

Just as the two were about to complete their switch of positions, Li Wei suddenly stopped and cut diagonally to the right, dashing forward full speed—

Ready to meet up with Kelsey.

Edmunds kept up step by step, sounding the alarm all the way.

By now, he couldn’t care less; he needed to close in on Li Wei as soon as possible.

The two raced past the forty-yard line, the thirty-yard line, and as they approached the Red Zone, failing to keep close to Li Wei might result in a catastrophic error.

Edmunds trusted his judgment.

Li Wei noticed, Edmunds’ acceleration—

Edmunds’ focus was entirely on Li Wei; not having time to watch the quarterback and Football, a rookie mistake of being overly excited due to an adrenaline rush was clearly observable.

Li Wei not only didn’t avoid but also in a narrow space quickly changed direction, heading straight for Edmunds.

Edmunds: ???

Just as Edmunds, delighted, was about to wrap his arms for the tackle, he hadn’t even realized something was amiss when the two collided with unbelievable speed.

Edmunds felt as if his lungs were about to burst out of his chest.

However, Li Wei, unscathed, used the reaction force to brush forward effortlessly, leaving Edmunds behind.

Edmunds, still with echoes of fireworks and applause in his mind, flustered, tried to keep up instinctively but found Li Wei’s speed was unleashed again, turning the distance between them into a chasm instantly.

The twenty-yard line.

The ten-yard line.

Before even blinking, Li Wei had already cut near the five-yard line.

Adjusting, turning around, a glance back at the moon, he smoothly caught the rapidly descending Football into his arms, not bothering to turn around again—

With his back to the End Zone, facing Edmund, he took leisure steps back.

Crossing the End Zone Line, he casually stopped, tossed the Football lightly up, then caught it back in his palm again, with ease and poise.
