Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1094 - 1093 head-on confrontation
Chapter 1094: 1093 head-on confrontation
Darnell Savage knew the opportunity had arrived.
This Safety, was the Green Bay Packers’ highly anticipated first-round pick in the 2019 draft, at the twenty-first overall.
Everyone knows that the Green Bay Packers focus on nurturing their own homegrown players, making each year’s draft a top priority, and only players who join through the draft can be called "Green Bay Bloodline."
This year, the entire league believed that the Green Bay Packers should have selected a Wide Receiver in the first round; however, they ultimately chose a Safety.
That Safety was Savage.
Amidst a wave of shock and surprise, Savage became the Packers’ first-round pick.
Even though the fans had nothing against the young man, they knew he was innocent, they simply hoped the Packers would select a passing target for Rodgers; but the overwhelming criticism and blame still rained down indiscriminately on Savage.
Savage was indeed stubborn—
Those attacks couldn’t hurt him, but became his motivation to strive harder.
Savage not only won over the coaching staff, emerging from the competition as a starting Safety; he also became one of the best rookie Safeties in the league.
Yet, Savage was not satisfied with this; his goal was not only to be the leader among rookies, he aspired to stand among the top players in the league, to prove his ability and shine brightly on the stage.
Tonight was the opportunity—
Li Wei.
In three seasons, the league’s undisputed new generation number one, more accurately, no rookie in the past five seasons could compare to him.
As long as he could directly defeat Li Wei, he could establish his status.
"Li Wei = Tang Seng’s Meat."
Everyone craved a bite, especially the rookies, each unable to control themselves.
Seeing Li Wei holding the ball, Savage immediately stepped forward, relentlessly and decisively, ready to intercept Li Wei’s plan to run a long distance.
Especially when he saw Li Wei repeatedly breaking through Smith and Kevin King, Savage not only wasn’t worried or frustrated, he became even more excited—
An opportunity.
If not for teammates’ mistakes, how could he have the chance to shine?
Push off, exert force, and move forward comprehensively.
Savage’s attention was highly focused, yet at this moment, his peripheral vision caught a figure rapidly approaching.
Was that... Hardman?
Also a rookie this year, who also secured a spot in the team’s starting lineup.
As a Wide Receiver, Hardman played an important role in the ground offense as well:
Deconstruction.
Like Kelsey.
Hardman chased Kevin King, only to find himself a step too late; Li Wei had already broken through successfully; but Hardman didn’t let his guard down, immediately noticing Savage, Hardman made a sudden stop and turn, and unhesitatingly lunged towards Savage.
Savage was startled, his steps continued forward, his waist and upper body shifted to the right, in a surprising maneuver to counteract inertia and center of gravity, he dodged Hardman’s hands, maintaining his route and continued to charge towards Li Wei.
Hey, got it!
Li Wei, coming right at him.
However, in the next second, Savage’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
Li Wei, replicating Savage’s previous evasion of Hardman, kept his footwork unchanged, merely tilting his upper body to the left to dodge, akin to a pendulum, sidestepping while maintaining a straight course forward.
Savage’s confident pounce went empty.
Savage: ???
He searched with wide eyes, but by now, the number twenty-three figure was nowhere in sight.
Li Wei kept his focus high; not just from the front, as Green Bay Packers’ defensive net clearly pressed up and tightened, closing in from all directions, he had just crossed the thirty-five-yard line to secure a first down but could already feel the mounting pressure close at hand.
Staying calm under pressure, shaking off Savage, the dense net of defense was torn open once more, opening the way ahead a bit more.
However, at this moment, a strong gust came rushing from the left rear diagonal.
Li Wei had no eyes in the back of his head, couldn’t see the rear, the surging airflow and crisis intuition sounded the alarm, making Li Wei subconsciously lean to the right.
Following that, a figure brushed against Li Wei’s arm.
Li Wei narrowly adjusted his position, but his footwork was forced back half a step.
No time to breathe, forces from the left front diagonal and right rear diagonal completed a pincer attack, and amidst the abrupt stops and turns, unable to control his center of gravity, Li Wei ultimately could not withstand the merging forces and fell to the ground.
Panting heavily, drenched in sweat.
Only then did Li Wei clearly see the player on the left side, inside linebacker Blake Martinez.
This one, too, was a Green Bay Packers homegrown, fourth-round 131st pick in 2016, not well-known in the league, with no Pro Bowl resume yet; but if underestimated, it’s usually you who suffers.
Martinez’s speed is average, his reaction ability moderate, not specialized in tackling; but his tackling technique is standard and sharp, rarely missing tackles, and he tied for the league lead in combined tackles in the 2017 season.
If Li Wei went one-on-one with Martinez, he could easily outmaneuver him; but amidst a tactical crowd, Martinez’s steadiness and solidity became a major weapon, completing the tackle robustly.
Now the overall situation, from state to morale, Green Bay Packers still held the upper hand, their defensive players’ adrenaline continued to burn, maintaining high concentration and reaction speed, making it rather tough for Li Wei to reverse the situation with a single rush.
But it’s okay, one step at a time.
Li Wei had patience and confidence, this was only the first step.
On the sidelines, Lafleur took a deep breath, quickly patting his chest— freewebnøvel_com
The Kansas Chiefs Offense truly had depth; Li Wei and Kelsey, Hardman ran out with a three-man deconstruction swap tactic, nearly tearing through the Packers’ tactical crowd; if not for Martinez’s crucial tackle, Li Wei’s breakthrough would have been unimaginable.
Now Lafleur could only be thankful, the Packers still slightly held the upper hand, the tactical crowd still effective.
Beside, Savage, who teamed with Martinez for the tackle, was quite displeased. Despite tackling Li Wei, having been faked earlier made him feel like a fool next to Li Wei’s fluid steps.
Damn it!
Savage cursed softly, full of dissatisfaction.
Li Wei noticed this.
Hardman seemed ready to step forward to compete with Savage, but Li Wei pulled Hardman back, not even glancing at Savage.
"A small character, don’t bother with it."
Savage: ??? Was he just despised?
Hardman looked at Li Wei in confusion.
Li Wei did not explain, pulling Hardman back into formation, patting Hardman’s shoulder again, gesturing with his eyes to stay focused.
Hardman, looking at Li Wei’s calm and composed smile, regained some confidence—
Regardless, they just needed to trust Li Wei!
