Dominate the Super Bowl

Movement, turn, pause, start.

Hardman was fully focused, with 100% concentration, not daring to be distracted.

In the season opener, Li Wei proactively shielded him, but his excessive excitement wasted the opportunity. If it weren't for Li Wei's adaptability and seizing the moment, the promising situation might have been ruined by his youthful enthusiasm.

Now, the opportunity arises again, and having learned from his mistakes, he must take heed.

Sprint!

Speed, released in an instant, as Li Wei said, never hold back.

Hardman turned into a streak of light, sprinting at full speed, defensive players misaligned one by one, even the player supposed to shadow Hardman vanished without a trace, allowing Hardman to instantaneously burst past ten yards, arriving smoothly.

Stop, turn, raise hand.

Whoa!

The football had already entered his embrace, accurately without any obstruction.

"Run, young man, run!"

In Hardman's mind, there was only one voice, clutching the football tightly as if holding onto his lifeline, refusing to repeat mistakes.

Not everyone gets a second chance immediately after a fumble.

If he doesn't seize it firmly, he might as well be burying his own career.

More importantly, he'd be betraying Li Wei's trust.

He doesn't want to and cannot do that.

Taking a deep breath, Hardman turned and sprinted forward recklessly.

"Oh."

"'Motion,' there's 'Motion' again, wait, is this the original 'Motion'?"

"No, this time it's relay 'Motion,' Li Wei stops and Hardman continues the movement, totally disrupting the Baltimore Ravens' defensive setup."

"Hardman breaks through and Hardman catches the ball."

"Beautiful! Perfect! Fluid and pleasing!"

Wait, who?

Wait, what happened?

On the field, one could clearly notice the Baltimore Ravens Defense group losing judgment and direction, the entire backfield was in a flurry, unable to keep up with the pace, observable from the players' erratic gazes:

No one knew how Hardman broke free.

"Hardman is running with the ball, this rookie wide receiver's speed is fully unleashed."

"Fifteen yards!"

"Twenty yards!"

"Earl Thomas! Safety Thomas saves the dazed Baltimore Ravens, Thomas timely positions himself to intercept Hardman."

"Hardman goes out of bounds before Thomas's tackle, ending the advance proactively."

"It appears Hardman is still impacted by the earlier fumble during the kickoff return, he's slightly cautious, didn't force his way through to continue advancing. Nevertheless, Hardman still easily advanced twenty-five yards with the ball."

"The Kansas City Chiefs not only break out of the jam at the front of the end zone, but swiftly push forward near the thirty-three-yard line, one attack pushing Baltimore Ravens' menacing pressure back."

"Now, the Baltimore Ravens Defense group is probably unsettled."

"This is the second time, Kansas City Chiefs employing a new 'Motion' tactic for surprise again, yet Baltimore Ravens still have no strategy to counter."

"However, Kansas City Chiefs are not satisfied, they're lining up again."

"Is this... Wuju Merchant offense?"

"Wow!"

Wheeze, wheeze.

Baltimore Ravens Defense group was in a state of panic and frenzy:

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

No one knew what happened, they were clueless, that kind of bewilderment and panic firmly grabbed the heart, plunging into chaos.

One by one looking at each other, trying to find answers, finally all gazing at Harbaugh, hoping the coach could provide a solution.

Unexpectedly, the Kansas City Chiefs lined up, without giving Harbaugh time to respond or Baltimore Ravens Defense group time to ease, they rapidly lined up and poised to kick off attack without warning.

Chaos. A whirlwind of rush and panic. Baltimore Ravens Defense group plunged into a storm of hassle, unable to find their footing.

"Attack!"

Mahomes had already announced the snap —

The essence of the "Motion tactic" lies in suddenness and speed, unnoticeably disrupting rhythm. If able to penetrate like Li Wei to score a touchdown, it'd be ideal; but if not, no worry, Kansas City Chiefs had other tactics arranged further causing disruption.

Quick short pass. Screen short pass. Fake run and pass.

Such and such.

Kansas City Chiefs used a shotgun formation, its bright black barrel aimed at Baltimore Ravens Defense group, continuously elevating tempo and aggressively advancing.

It's evident, Baltimore Ravens Defense group exposed their shortcoming, lacking leadership, they could only rely on experience to barely hold their ground, difficult to adjust or react on the spot —

Shadow defense.

A lineup mainly composed of blue-collar players, disadvantage in lacking variation and explosiveness; advantage in consistent overall performance, no matter how chaotic, not easily losing position, at least the shadow defensive strategy deeply imprinted in mind wouldn't have them running like headless chickens.

In other words, not collapsing immediately.

However, "not collapsing" is far from enough against this Kansas City Chiefs.

First down, ten yards.

Li Wei and Kelsey ran a short-cross route, Li Wei breaks down Cornerback Humphrey, Kelsey cuts into the central area completing a five-yard short pass, continuously penetrating into Baltimore Ravens' territory standing behind the linemen.

Second down, one yard.

Mahomes found Watkins with a quick short pass, Baltimore Ravens Defense group piled crowds in the short pass area, Kelsey and Li Wei assisted the offensive line creating path, Watkins broke out of chaos, tore open gap amid dense crowd completing advance.

First down, ten yards.

Fake run and pass. Li Wei acted as bait, attracting attention, Kelsey sprinted vertically eight yards then braked sharply, completed a catch before Humphrey stepped up tight, under Hardman's break, cut laterally inward, plunged into the crowd, dancing through like a knife.

Rhythm. Route. Cooperation.

Kansas City Chiefs' offensive burst fully elevated status, not just smoothly flowing rhythm, but also clear tactics, under pressure revealed the team's composure and calmness, barely giving Baltimore Ravens a break, wave upon wave, like a torrent, overwhelming through.

On Baltimore Ravens' side, forget about defensive front's rush pressure, even second defense's shadow defense could barely keep up pace.

Originally, shadow defense means focusing solely on the matchup target without worrying about other matters, but in Kansas City Chiefs' shotgun formation, players intercrossing movement and breaking cooperation was dizzying, thus causing Baltimore Ravens Defense group players struggling to keep position —

The reaction time and speed of shadow defense severely affected.

Only now, Kansas City Chiefs' relentlessly honed offensive lineup finally unveiled its mystery throughout the offseason, Baltimore Ravens became the first sacrifice.

A sigh stuck in the throat, before it could be let out, Kansas City Chiefs pushed past midfield, cut within the forty-five-yard line, and Wuju Merchant offense's tempo still hasn't slowed down.

Relentless! Unstoppable!
