Chapter 222 221 Uncontrollable anger

Strength deserted him, and he failed to maintain his balance. Brady fell hard on his back, but there was no time for regrets. He pushed himself up quickly with his hands, just in time to see the incomplete pass—

Heaven and hell were divided just like that.

Brady's annoyance surged. This time, his offense was completely suppressed, with no breathing space from the relentless onslaught. Clearly, the offensive line had to take responsibility for not completing the mission.

Yet, before his anger could explode, Brady saw Houston, who had also fallen, standing up, raising his arms high with a smile creeping onto his lips, just as Brady thought the other man was about to talk trash and he was ready to shoot back.

"Rookie!"

What?

Brady was taken aback, not understanding what Houston was shouting.

"Rookie!"

Houston looked at Brady, a smile on his lips, not boasting or looking fierce but instead stepping back with an easygoing air, leaving Brady's fury stuck in his throat.

The next second, the players of the Kansas City Chiefs Defense all started chanting.

Once, then again.

"Rookie."

It was clear they were calling him a rookie.

So, was this the response of the Kansas City Chiefs to Gillette Stadium?

For the moment, Brady didn't even know how to react. He felt the ridiculousness of it all, as if he were unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. Was he the only person in the whole world who found the "rookie vs. Goat" topic so laughable it shouldn't even exist?

Wait, they couldn't possibly think that such tactics would actually enrage him, could they?

Brady didn't even look at the offensive line; instead, he turned to look across the field and easily found the rookie's figure in the crowd.

This must have been the first time Brady seriously sized up Li Wei.

He was different from what Brady had imagined—not frail or bookish, but instead standing there with a raised right hand, giving high-fives to each defensive player.

His smile was radiant.

He clearly got along well with the veterans on the team, didn't look at all like a rookie. The Kansas City Chiefs' morale was quietly building, something not seen in the past few seasons.

So, was this the kind of change that Li Wei brought?

Ha, as if!

Their own twenty-eight-yard line.

On this side, the Kansas Chiefs Offense took the field again, and Li Wei was not among them—

Hunter, on stage.

The New England Patriots defense loosened up a bit, not entirely because they underestimated Hunter, but because they believed people were right about Li Wei: after a high-level face-off, one needs to gather strength.

Nothing to fear.

However, if the opponent underestimated Hunter because of Li Wei's presence, they might be in for a fall.

Everyone in the Chiefs Team knew that Hunter had always been competing with Li Wei, and with Li Wei's outstanding performance turning the tides, Hunter was even more eager. Perhaps that was Reed's real intention in using Hunter for this offensive drive.

Indeed.

Hunter was highly focused, going full throttle. Moreover, with Li Wei's previous continuous ground advances opening up the situation and activating the offense, Reed's tendency to employ versatile offensive tactics came into play once again, deploying both passing and running plays. Continue your saga on empire

In terms of height and build, Hunter was slightly shorter than Li Wei and weighed about the same; people might think the two running backs had similar styles, which was also a major reason the Chiefs Team faced tremendous pressure at the draft—

Picking two was bad enough, but both running backs had similar styles?

Utterly foolish.

But in fact, the two running backs had different styles.

Incredibly, Li Wei focused more on confrontation in his ground advances—Marshawn Lynch's training template indeed played an important role during the past eight-month offseason, and Li Wei, widely believed to lack confrontation capability, was actually the more confrontational running back on the team.

Hunter relied more on agility, not just in speed but also in his ability to rip through tight spaces and break free. He had often caught passes during his college days, so his receiving skills were better than Li Wei's.

When the New England Patriots defense realized that Reed was playing unconventionally again, using Hunter as the fifth receiving option, and the Kansas City Chiefs unexpectedly resumed their passing game—

They were somewhat flustered.

The Kansas City Chiefs, unstoppable.

The New England Patriots defense did ramp up their intensity, forcing the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive efficiency to drop, slowing the flow of their opponent; but Smith once again displayed his hot passing touch, continuing to drive forward amidst the chaos.

Facing third gear conversion three times, the Kansas City Chiefs converted each one successfully and crossed the midfield to arrive at the New England Patriots' forty-yard line.

Gillette Stadium couldn't believe it—

Unstoppable, they were truly unstoppable!

Then, Li Wei took the field again.
