Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1093 - 1092 Leadership Quality

The solution to breaking through the current predicament:

Ground offense, direct confrontation, opening up the situation through ground offense to reduce Moore’s pressure, thereby revitalizing the passing offense and regaining rhythm.

Fortunately, Li Wei is not fighting alone; they face the challenge together.

The Green Bay Packers have never been a team known for defense; and Lafleur is not a coach skilled in defense—he comes from a pure offensive background.

In the defensive system, the Green Bay Packers are even more inept at ground defense.

The Green Bay Packers Defense continues the "3-4" formation, with three defensive linemen and four linebackers, focusing primarily on pass defense to align with league trends.

In the first quarter, the Green Bay Packers’ ability to withstand ground defense is due to two key factors:

First, the outstanding performance of linebacker Za’Darius Smith.

Second, the human wave tactics, where other linebackers and cornerbacks focused on ground defense, without needing to spend much effort on pass defense, effectively preempting Kansas Chiefs’ offensive tactics before the snap, thus gaining an early advantage and piling up manpower.

Even Li Wei had to hit a wall.

But Li Wei is not prepared to sit and wait for something to happen.

Li Wei believes the breakthrough point in ground offense should be on linebacker Smith—

Even if it’s not a breakthrough point, Li Wei plans to create a gap.

Smith isn’t a superhuman monster of personal ability; he’s a technically trained linebacker from the Baltimore Ravens System, focusing on observation and anticipation.

Timing is crucial for Smith’s defense.

The timing of an ambush, intercept, activation, position blocking.

This relies on rich experience and meticulous observation, finding the entry point amidst confrontation to complete the linebacker’s defensive tasks.

This season, Smith has risen prominently, mainly due to the accumulation of experience finally reaching a qualitative transformation, gaining the trust and acknowledgment of the head coach upon transferring to the Green Bay Packers, finally shining brightly.

In this game so far, Smith’s performance has truly been commendable.

So, the key to breaking through Smith also lies in timing and cannot simply rely on brute force.

Formation set, ready.

Li Wei turned to glance at the sideline, quickly exchanging a look with Reed.

Reed’s gaze hidden behind his glasses is unclear, but as an experienced coach tested by storms and waves, he naturally makes his own judgment.

Then.

"Attack!"

Moore announced the snap.

He takes the football from the center with both hands, without pause or hesitation, turns around and hands it directly to Li Wei, smoothly making room.

Ground offense!

And, no tricks, Li Wei activates immediately.

A lateral drag, crossing the trench’s front line territory, heading for the right slot, preparing to break through relentlessly.

Smith didn’t hesitate, an immediate side move, standing squarely in Li Wei’s path; but Smith didn’t rush forward—his task wasn’t to immediately intercept Li Wei—

Because they both know, once a linebacker tries to take the initiative to strike first, he might expose his own flaws, becoming a chance for Li Wei’s counterattack.

Smith’s task is to tangle, drag, and delay Li Wei’s ground advancement, then rely on human wave tactics for ground defense.

This strategy had once been used by the Baltimore Ravens against the Kansas Chiefs in a game; although they consistently lost yardage, they did effectively curb Li Wei’s momentum to secure big yardage critically.

Now, with the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback not being Mahomes, this gives the Green Bay Packers more room for maneuver, Lafleur exhibits his on-the-fly adaptability, steadily choking the Kansas Chiefs.

So, Smith waits, waiting for the opportunity to strike, delivering a fatal blow when Li Wei prepares to break through.

Like a patient hunter.

Smith’s patience and focus forced Li Wei to make a move first, because the other linebackers on the left, cornerbacks on the right, and safeties from behind were all rapidly closing in, opportunities might disappear in an instant.

Li Wei kept moving along a forty-five-degree diagonal, steadily holding Smith.

His steps were neither rushed nor slow.

The two constantly stood off and stalemated, the air taut.

At this moment, Smith’s pupils constricted, noticing Li Wei’s actions—

It comes.

Smith decisively initiated, without hesitation, flying directly towards Li Wei head-on.

However, in the next second, Smith encountered a surge of lateral force crashing against him.

The longitudinal forward force and lateral interception force clashed, organ quintessence roiling fiercely, Smith’s entire action stiffened, blood flowing against within standing motionless.

It was Kyle!

As it turns out, this was Li Wei’s purpose in leaving the pocket and dragging across, relying on Kyle for passage break.

In a second, Smith’s movement only stalled and stumbled briefly, while Li Wei’s instant starting steps had already cut past Smith.

Light, precise, sharp.

A sword sealing the throat.

This is Li Wei’s ability, and also the power of the Kansas Chiefs Offense’s coordination.

Smith watched helplessly as Li Wei passed right by without a scratch, but if Kyle blocked Smith, what about the cornerback?

Cornerback Kevin King was thrown aside by Kyle, though bewildered, he quickly realized the situation had changed.

Kevin King, like many rookies from the 2017 draft, second-round thirty-third pick, but these years all attention on this rookie batch focused on Li Wei, even Mahomes slightly overshadowed, Kevin King naturally went unnoticed, living under Li Wei’s shadow entirely.

He has always wished to meet Li Wei face to face, personally feel the prowess of this running back, up to now, from the first quarter’s confrontation—

But so-so, a mere reputation.

Numerous ones made Li Wei seem like a demon king, but after all is still a mortal flesh.

Ha.

Kevin King maintains intense focus, after swapping off Kyle immediately activates.

Opportunity!

Now is his chance to single out Li Wei, he will prove himself, make a name, let the whole league know his name—

"Kevin-King!"

"This collision with God was so fierce, Kevin King got hit directly and flew."

"Oh, Kevin King tried to tackle Li Wei, but clearly his tackle posture was wrong, this was a posture for facing wide receivers, shouldn’t be used against Li Wei."

"Kevin King couldn’t lower his center of gravity! Rookie mistake!"

"Li Wei’s speed and strength unreserved, simultaneously lowered his center of gravity early, a rhino charge, Kevin King was entirely airborne, flying against gravity like the feather drifting in ’Forrest Gump’."

"God, Kevin King, it was so fierce."

Now, the whole league indeed knows his name.

Kevin King: ???

Li Wei changed the thrust mode while racing at high speed, completing a bull charge breakthrough, the Green Bay Packers’ encirclement had already broken.

Li Wei’s step-off was particularly resolute and strong, within two or three steps not only breaking five yards but forcefully charging ten yards before being surrounded by the opponent, nabbing first attack in a flash.

A block break, relying solely on Kyle’s block to break through, twisting the situation of ground offensive and defense, regaining initiative.

Strong, efficient, sharp.

Also, blood-boiling!
