Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1071 - 1070 Willpower Contest

On the field, everyone longs to play a key role, to win their spotlight moment; no one is willing to just do the blue-collar work.

However, the cruelest reality is that not everyone can become a key role, and not everyone can turn the tide.

Watson failed.

The opportunity appeared but ended with an interception. He turned away defeatedly, leaving the stage again to Watt and Li Wei.

Standing on the sidelines, Watson was defiant. He wanted to see what performance Li Wei could deliver in such a situation. That guy was nothing special either.

The situation was extremely tense.

"Watt!"

"Watt took the initiative unexpectedly, swapped positions with the lineman and defensive tackle, relying on teammates to block Li Wei, Watt launched a sneak attack from the inside."

"Beautiful! The Houston Texans defensive group made a strategic swap that gave Watt time, Watt grasped it firmly, broke through the pocket to complete his task."

"Effective hit."

"Although Mahomes moved ahead of time, Watt seized the opportunity with a successful flying tackle, Mahomes’s pass was incomplete."

...

"Oh oh oh, Li Wei unblocks and Mahomes moves sideways."

"The Kansas City Chiefs’ Read Option offense plays a new trick, Li Wei unblocks Watt, Kelsey retracts to clear the way, Mahomes advances with the ball himself."

"Mahomes! Mahomes!"

"Mahomes continues ground advancement after crossing the start line."

"Watt is trying to defend, but Li Wei refuses, Watt and Li Wei are entangled again."

"Uh, this."

"Watt flew out, what’s going on?"

"Mahomes was not intercepted, first down, easily achieved, sliding himself to end this wave of advancement without greed."

"But what’s wrong with Watt?"

"Let’s look at the slow-motion replay."

"Li Wei preemptively locked position, using Watt’s eagerness to break free, followed Watt’s forward impulse, with a leveraging move that surprisingly sent Watt flying out."

"Soaring in the air."

"This. This..."

"Watt has never been so embarrassed in his profession."

"So, is this Huaxia Kung Fu or fighting technique?"

...

Tension, tightness, confrontation—

The situation is at a stalemate.

Obviously, led by Watt, the Houston Texans defensive group gave their all, realizing that if the Kansas City Chiefs continue to score a touchdown, the rise of this offensive group might just be unstoppable.

Watt... gasping, heavily consumed, now relying on sheer willpower, wholeheartedly engaged in the match, temporarily unaware of his physical exhaustion.

But Watt knows his own situation well. At his peak, he could maintain such intensity and frequency throughout the game like a perpetual motion machine, tirelessly persisting until the match ends.

Now, impossible.

He’s nearing his limit, unable to continue for much longer.

At the same time, Watt also knows that Li Wei exploded with amazing energy in the short term, now facing the same physical limit, unable to stay strong indefinitely.

Moreover, Li Wei’s consumption should be greater than his.

The main reason is that Li Wei is trying something he’s not familiar with or skilled at. All football players know the widely spread saying:

When tactical awareness is lacking, steps compensate.

That’s Li Wei. He is not good at defense and never defended before, let alone against Watt?

Thus, Li Wei constantly uses steps, anticipation, and early initiation to confront Watt, restricting Watt’s destruction on the offensive group.

As a result, Li Wei’s individual consumption is burning at two or three times the rate.

More importantly, as a running back, Li Wei and Damien often rotate to ensure rest and adjustment time; but now Li Wei must stick to Watt, as long as Watt is on the field, Li Wei has no way to go for a rest.

Since halftime, Watt has attended all defensive stances, Li Wei, naturally too.

It is imaginable, Li Wei’s current consumption speed and level are higher than Watt’s.

It’s known to Watt and Reed that this approach is not sustainable, Li Wei will eventually return to the running back position; relatively, Watt can’t persist in a Super Saiyan state like the second quarter.

Hence, the focus now is, who can persist longer, who can gain the upper hand—

After all, the point difference is just one point.

Li Wei and Watt are both trying to persist longer than the other; but both have little fuel left, balance could be broken anytime.

Now, it’s a competition of willpower.

Gasping, gasping.

Watt is panting heavily.

His chest moved violently like a bellows, scorching air rushing into his lungs, fine sting followed with each breath motion, wave after wave swept in, instantly exploding in his chest almost ending breath.

Yet turning again to face Li Wei, the Kansas Chiefs offense group, Watt restored normalcy, staring intensely at opponents like a cheetah, ready to strike anytime.

Opposite, Li Wei is the same.

Focused, eyes bright staring at Watt, the sweaty face flushed red yet with a slight upward curve of the mouth, deeply hidden killing intent in his smile, such posture even more demonstrates Li Wei’s determination.

Li Wei and Watt are so alike, both looking forward to such a showdown, both eager to display their limits.

Now the opportunity finally arrives, both are enjoying this confrontation.

Fatigue?

That’s just a concept imagined by the brain, all just an illusion, once passed the peak, grit, the body will naturally adapt to such intensity, bursting with potential even they were unaware of.

So, not tired, not at all.

First down ten yards, on the twenty-seven-yard line. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Mahomes still hasn’t paused or hesitated, immediately announces the snap.

"Attack!"

A command, Watt moved, Li Wei moved too—

Simultaneously, almost started at the same time, the surging airwaves of speed and strength collided head-on, instantly exploding.

In fact, not only Watt and Li Wei, but O’Brien and Reed’s strategic game continues, both sides are vying for initiative now.

Here at Kansas Chiefs, they adopt the double running back tactic, however, this time, Damien plays the wide receiver role going up together—

Two fast, Hill and Hardman; two slow, Kelsey and Damien.

Kansas Chiefs dispatch all receiver players in a Shotgun Formation.

With Mahomes’s snap command, all promptly initiated the charge forward.

The momentum, grand.

But Kansas Chiefs’ receivers quickly realize Houston Texans are calculating against them, the entire defensive front steps up.

Six rushing forward!

Houston Texans only leave two cornerbacks and two safeties in place, two cornerbacks defending Damien and Kelsey, two safeties on Hill and Hardman, other players all step up for pressure.

To be precise, it’s seven rushing forward.

Reed always sacrifices Li Wei to contain Watt, and now O’Brien devised a counter strategy:

In turn, sacrifice Watt to contain Li Wei.

Then, using six-rushing-forward to tear open the pocket, attempting to sack Mahomes.

A spear is not a spear, a shield is not a shield—

Confrontation, head-on collision.
