Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 315: 314 puppy tail

"I think Li Wei is an incredibly outstanding player,"

"Having just gone through my rookie season myself, even now, I’m still learning and growing. It’s precisely because of this that I understand how incredible Li Wei’s performance is."

"I believe that if Li Wei’s name isn’t in the MVP discussion for the regular season, it’s merely because he’s a rookie, and that’s truly regrettable."

"He’s making history, isn’t he?"

Wentz was generous with his praise. It was because he had just been through the storms of a rookie season that he felt a sense of camaraderie with other young players. Unlike Brady, Wentz didn’t hesitate to stand with Li Wei, offering a positive and supportive response.

Reporter: Disappointing.

They had traveled far and wide to come to Philadelphia, not to hear platitudes or motivational speeches—this wasn’t "The Oprah Talk Show." They were tired of the same old boring praise; couldn’t they be a bit more genuine?

Those words fell on their ears and became just blah blah blah, in one ear and out the other.

Seeing that reporters on site were beginning to yawn, Wentz changed tack and finally dropped a bombshell.

"Of course, the next time we meet, I’ll do everything in my power to defeat him and prove that we’re a better team."

Finally!

The reporters didn’t keep pestering Wentz after that; they left satisfied.

Thirty minutes later, social media exploded.

"Brady: Li Wei wants to beat me? He’s dreaming."

"Brady: Li Wei is nothing special."

"Brady: I don’t pay attention to Li Wei."

As the current face of the NFL, Brady’s ability to draw attention was unquestionable. Even though the major news media were using such eye-catching headlines to stir up discussion, the belief that Li Wei was out of his league and not qualified to challenge Brady still dominated by a wide margin.

The simplest and most straightforward view was this: How many championship rings does Brady have and how many does Li Wei have? Haha.

"Wentz: I’m better than Li Wei."

"Wentz: Li Wei is good, but I deserve the MVP more."

Unlike Brady, this time the controversy truly boiled over. Some sided with Wentz, some with Li Wei. Although one was a quarterback and the other a running back, it was bizarrely debatable. Compared to the 2017 draft class which didn’t have a single standout, the topic’s popularity soared to new heights.

But what’s going on with Li Wei?

Today, Li Wei didn’t go home with Mahomes. During the crunch time of the playoffs and amidst his busy schedule, why did Li Wei leave early? Was there something going on?

Over here, the journalists exchanged bewildered glances but no one could find the answer.

Over there, it took Li Wei less than fifteen minutes to arrive at his destination.

Marriott Hotel.

Li Wei had just parked at the hotel entrance, and the parking valet had already come to greet him. He was about to extend a polite welcome, but then he looked up at the figure stepping out of the driver’s seat:

His face was a picture of astonishment.

From astonishment to joy to frenzy, it took just a millisecond. He then bulged his eyes and instinctively bit the inside of his cheek hard.

"Ah!"

The valet couldn’t help but let out a low exclamation, but quickly realized his lack of professionalism, clenched his fist, and tried his best to contain his excitement; however, his every move still radiated energy and enthusiasm, and he couldn’t even control his footsteps from floating.

"Rookie!"

"Rookie, a flawless game! A flawless performance!"

Now in Kansas City, Li Wei unquestionably had a face everyone recognized, having won over the city’s affection in just a little over half a year.

Who would have thought that "rookie" would evolve into their exclusive nickname for Li Wei.

Li Wei wasn’t bothered by this. Although the nickname lacked a sense of cool or dominance, it carried a friendly charm that easily bridged the gap between him and the fans.

But the important thing was, this nickname was reserved for Kansas City. If a rival called Li Wei by this name, Chieftain fans would not hesitate to fire back.

Li Wei flashed a grin, "Shh, no need to let Alex find out about this."

The valet laughed heartily along.

But unexpectedly, as the laughter lingered on the valet’s lips, it faded slightly, and he grew serious. He took a small step forward, shifted his body to one side and, as he reached for the keys, whispered into Li Wei’s ear.

"Rookie, don’t look back, you’ve got a tail. Need my help shaking them off?"

A tail?
