Chapter 1045: 1044 A Better Tomorrow
Power up, break free.
In the blink of an eye, Li Wei has already sprinted five yards, maybe even more.
Not only did he shake off Humphrey, but he also avoided Ferguson, turning into a red blur, sprinting with all his might.
Ferguson staggered and stumbled in an attempt to catch up, catching a glimpse of the number twenty-three, instinctively launching into a flying tackle, confident he could complete the tackle.
However, there was a gap between the scene in his mind and the actual situation; Ferguson lunged at nothing, his mouth full of grass clippings and dust.
Humphrey still didn't give up, relentlessly pursuing, dodging around Ferguson, sprinting at full speed, but the gap continued to widen.
Despairing.
The wind whistled by, Li Wei instantly entered sprint mode.
The forty-yard line, thirty-five-yard line, thirty-yard line, quickly turned into a stream of fading points behind his steps, with the burning red afterimage still hovering near the twenty-five-yard line.
Finally, Thomas appeared.
Earl Thomas gritted his teeth, making a sharp stop and turn to easily shake off the inexperienced Hardman, despite Hardman's outstanding speed, as a wide receiver, his positioning awareness and sense of counter-reaction were still too weak. Thomas effortlessly completed the getaway.
Li Wei relying on speed to break through his territory once, there would be no second time.
Otherwise, Earl Thomas might as well share Li Wei's last name.
Cut inside, position yourself, Thomas focused intensely, concentrating his awareness at high speed, positioning himself on the path of Li Wei's rapid advance, seizing the advantageous position.
Then, with a fighting stance, he collided with Li Wei—
Bam.
Hit the target, like two high-speed trains colliding, a scene of chaos.
Thomas collided with Li Wei, dragging and stumbling towards the sideline, either to fall or go out of bounds. Thomas added his body weight to his speed and power, bearing down upon Li Wei impressively.
About to succeed, the support in front of Thomas lightened.
Li Wei disappeared!
What happened?
In the chaos and bumps, Li Wei's stumbling steps always sought balance, seeing Thomas's collision force almost like a torrent going out of bounds, Li Wei gritted his teeth, forcefully turning to break away.
His steps began to spin, one deep, one shallow, making the whole world spin around.
Li Wei held his breath, recognizing the direction forward in a haze of light, continuing to propel himself along with the inertia of the spin, successfully breaking free—
Shaking off Thomas.
However, Thomas's collision force was genuinely strong, with lingering impact.
Stumbling and staggering, Li Wei once again spun 360 degrees to shake off the grip of the centrifugal force.
Li Wei saw Thomas.
Thomas saw Li Wei.
In a flash of light, Thomas moved east, Li Wei went north, the two miscrossed at the intersection, once brushing past, then growing further apart.
Thomas: Damn.
Landing chest-first, surfing the ground, Thomas slid mightily towards the sideline.
Leaving only a silhouette of Li Wei in the distance.
"Li Wei! Li Wei!"
"God! Li Wei!"
"Collision! Confrontation! Escape! Sprint! Li Wei is practically unstoppable, after charging through four barriers, the entire Baltimore Ravens backfield has opened up completely!"
"Li Wei, unstoppable!"
"God, who can stop him? Who in the league can stop him?"
"Twenty-yard line!"
"Fifteen-yard line!"
"Wow, Li Wei is gone!"
"Though the Baltimore Ravens Defense is still hustling back, not giving up, Safety Jefferson on the other side of the field trying to close in; but it looks like an immensely daunting task, Li Wei is sprinting at full speed."
"Ten yards!"
"Five yards!"
"Jefferson! Dive! Tackle!"
"Li Wei! Miracle! It's a miracle! Li Wei actually overcame with absolute speed, surging past before Jefferson's tackle."
"Jefferson, missed!"
"Only a blur! Li Wei enters the end zone!"
"Touchdown!"
"We are witnessing."
"Touchdown aaaaaaaaah..."
"Down aaaaaaaaah..."
"Ah, ah, ah, touchdown! It's a touchdown! Li Wei! Li Wei forty-five yards reception touchdown! Ah!"
Frenzied, fiery, at full blast.
In the end zone, Li Wei panted heavily, soaked in sweat, as if he had just been pulled from magma.
But Li Wei didn't roar or release; instead, he turned to look at the sprawled black figures behind him, with the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly:
The challenge just now was interesting, come on, just a little more, you're about to stop me. Cheer up!
Thomas, arriving late, saw the murderous look in Li Wei's eyes and could no longer control himself, throwing his helmet in frustration and cursing.
Humphrey held his knees, panting like a bull, looking left and right, Ferguson, Jefferson, all avoiding eye contact, trembling, not even daring to look Li Wei in the eye, the entire Baltimore Ravens Defense momentum completely suppressed.
Just a single offensive play, that's all.
However, this is Li Wei's ability.
The next second, Humphrey noticed Li Wei's gaze falling on him: Me?
Li Wei: Yes, you. You're not going to just give up, are you? Otherwise, want to burn again?
Humphrey smiled, Li Wei, true to form, still Li Wei, a madman, always passionate, always enthusiastic in the face of challenges, the harder the challenge, the more it sparks his fighting spirit.
Humphrey took a deep breath, stood up straight, his eyes blazing looking at Li Wei, a strong ambition surging in his chest.
Li Wei's smile at the corner of his mouth blossomed without reservation.
"Touchdown, another touchdown, Kansas City Chiefs once again completing a phenomenal touchdown!"
"Since the second half, the Baltimore Ravens have fully risen on both offense and defense, reversing the situation with an aggressive posture, displaying the momentum of the youth."
"However!"
"Kansas City Chiefs still seasoned, this offensive drive flowed seamlessly, like an unstoppable force, transitioning from 'Motion' shifts to Wuju Merchant offense, then switching to Read Option Offense, all in perfect harmony, like quicksilver."
"The Baltimore Ravens Defense, relying solely on sheer courage, fought back with difficulty."
"But it's not enough. Nowhere near enough."
"The Baltimore Ravens Defense still focused, still strong, still forceful, but facing the seasoned and steady Kansas City Chiefs, they possess only a brute strength not knowing how to use it wisely, appearing underwhelming and cramped in terms of tactics, ultimately dismantled by the Mahomes and Li Wei combination."
"Kansas City Chiefs, demonstrating capabilities at a higher level. Against a strong opponent like the Baltimore Ravens, the Kansas City Chiefs truly showcase the demeanor of reigning champions, this team now completed a transformation, genuinely owning the demeanor of a strong team."
"Whoa, spectacular."
Praise, astonishment, overflowing passion, a roaring mind, tingling scalp.
No one can remain indifferent.
Such fluidity, such lightness, such swiftness, such power, entirely showcasing the charm of football offense, even a passing offense can blossom a flower in the existing system.
Arrowhead Stadium went berserk.
Since halftime, the Baltimore Ravens truly performed well, even though Kansas City Chiefs remained ahead in the score, the situation was changing, the ongoing confrontation becoming increasingly tense.
Then, the Kansas City Chiefs replied with such a statement, not only forceful but also composed, showcasing strong control, regaining the momentum.
That attitude, that stance, it's as if saying:
The reigning champions are still reigning champions, you all are just too young. So, is there more?
