Chapter 417: Seek benevolence and obtain benevolence Chapter 417: Seek benevolence and obtain benevolence A football, like a tender sprout breaking through the hardened soil of a harsh winter, relentlessly fought the cold to surface and declare the arrival of spring, just like that, it crossed the end zone line, disrupting the deadlock.
“Touchdown!”
The head referee and the line judge were in agreement, both raising their hands to signal the touchdown.
At last!
This unbelievable offensive effort came to an end with a touchdown.
Yet, there was no cheering, no shouting.
It was even eerily quiet.
Provo’s knees went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his heart pounding unstoppably, a roaring in his ears, as long-lost passion and fervor madly surged within him.
...
So what if there’s a wall in the way?
So what if there’s no light to be seen?
The heart keeps beating, the blood keeps boiling—
They, like grassroots, kept fighting, kept wildly growing.
Victory is important, hope is important, but holding your head high with unyielding spirit is what matters most.
And they still had each other, they were still fighting side by side.
Looking up, he watched the aftermath of the collision between two storms on the television screen, Provo realized his insignificance like never before.
Looking up like that.
...
One layer, then another—
The referees separated the intertwined Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Li Wei, who had kept a firm grip on the football, emerged from the fray.
In the midst of the chaos, Li Wei scanned his surroundings and immediately saw Ramsey.
A smile crept up at the corner of his mouth.
“Come on,”
Li Wei said, extending his right hand and curling two fingers inward.
“Come.
Come on.”
His demeanor, his expression, was as if he was training a puppy, waiting for the puppy to follow his command after issuing it, his bright eyes fixed squarely on Ramsey.
So, he was the coward, and Ramsey the puppy?
Ramsey instantly understood Li Wei’s meaning, rage rushing to his head, no longer caring about anything as he clenched his fists and charged straight forward.
Head Referee: ???
Hey, you think I’m dead?
The head referee stepped forward, staring down Ramsey, “Are you challenging my authority?”
Ramsey couldn’t believe it, his face full of grievance, “Referee, didn’t he provoke me first?”
The result.
He didn’t give up.
His patience and composure successfully found and seized the opportunity to change the momentum, relying on his own courage and force of will to break the balance.”
“Next up, the opportunity comes to Fournette’s side...”
Blah blah blah.
Fournette, seeking benevolence, receives benevolence.
Since last season, Fournette has been longing for a chance to prove himself.
He has constantly been calling for the spotlight to shine on him, believing that he could become a superhero like Batman saving Gotham.
After going through the NCAA and his rookie season in the Professional League, his time has finally arrived.
On the stage of the conference finals.
The spotlight turns on, the shining moment for Fournette has finally come, the stage is set, just waiting for a wonderful performance to unfold.
“Ladies and gentlemen, presented exclusively for you, the legendary star, Mr.
Leonard Fournette!”
Goodell was no exception.
Championing Li Wei and expecting his continued brilliance was part of the plan; but if the opponents weren’t up to par and the game wasn’t exciting, the effect would inevitably be much less.
Countless eyes were all focused on Fournette.
Even the Perpetual Bank Center was no exception.
“Leonard!
Fournette!”
“Leonard!
Fournette!”
One cry, then another; one round, then another!
The home fans also knew that relying on the quarterback Bortles might be hopeless – now was the time for the running back Fournette to rise to the occasion.
This scene caught in Caldwell’s eyes—
A warm dampness at his fingertips.
He too had never imagined that the game would develop to this point.
On one hand, he was increasingly envious of Li Wei; the Kansas City Chiefs had completely relied on Li Wei to break open the game.
On the other hand, he had to rely on Fournette.
The intertwined fates of the third and fourth overall picks in this year’s draft might just determine the direction of this American League final, even affecting the entire NFL season.
After all, the Jacksonville Jaguars are currently the top favorites for the championship—if they were to fall...
“No one could have anticipated this scene.”
“The final outcome of the NFL 2017 season could actually depend on the performance of two running backs drafted third and fourth overall—absolutely a surprise.”
“After the draft, those voices that criticized the Kansas City Chiefs probably missed out on a tarot card reading of the future.”
Before Nantz’s words had even finished, the game on the field continued, and Bortles handed the football off to Fournette.
