Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 987 - 986 going along with the flow
"Because people tend to believe what they want to believe."
"They hope to find cracks in us, they hope to find loopholes in us to find ways to defeat us."
"All the clamor outside ultimately points to the game on the field."
"All this negative news is part of psychological warfare, do you believe that? There should be a lot of rumors here fueled by other teams."
"Even if it’s not true, if a lie is told a hundred times it might become the truth, as long as we keep paying attention, it could become a distraction."
"The media also know these are just rumors, they’re just trying to get inside your heads."
"You can understand it as we’ve now become public enemies of the league, every team, everyone is trying to defeat us, crises are everywhere."
At some unknown point, the locker room gradually quieted down, and the rustling gazes all gathered towards Li Wei, attention secretly focused.
The sound of water could be heard in the air, the atmosphere slowly becoming tense.
Seeing Li Wei’s words come to an abrupt stop, Kelsey looked around, raised his eyebrows, and broke the silence, "But?"
Evidently, Kelsey knew that Li Wei hadn’t finished speaking.
The corners of Li Wei’s mouth lifted slightly into a smile.
"But."
"You can also understand that they lack the confidence to defeat us on the field, so they start playing little psychological tricks outside the field, using any means necessary."
Then, he let out a light breath, shrugged, Li Wei full of ease, confident and calm.
"Well, I wish them good luck, because they could use a little help from luck."
Boom!
The entire locker room burst into collective laughter, with whistles and applause, one after another jeering, making it extremely lively.
The cheerful and relaxed atmosphere continued to surge.
Frank Clark: ...
Completely bewildered, at a loss for what to do.
Honestly, when Frank was with the Seattle Seahawks, the atmosphere was completely different. When he joined the team in 2015, the Seattle Seahawks’ locker room was full of chaos, conflicts, factions, and disputes. Winning games was fine, but once they lost, it was a disaster.
So much that Frank always remained cautious and kept his distance. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
He never knew that locker room interactions could be like this?
A bit curious, a bit cautious, a bit confused, Frank continued to hide in the corner, not joining in the locker room’s cheerful atmosphere. The past four years with the Seattle Seahawks had left too many marks on him; but involuntarily, he began to carefully observe this team’s daily life.
Things didn’t seem so scary after all.
While the outside world continued to speculate about the Kansas City Chiefs’ locker room situation, little did they know, everything was just Li Wei going with the flow.
As Li Wei said, whether it’s him or the team, they are standing on the crest of the wave, and people are constantly searching for their weaknesses.
In that case, instead of letting every spirit circle them with extreme measures, it’s better to throw out a decoy to divert attention, while still keeping the situation within their control—
So, who better than Li Wei?
And so.
This scene unfolded.
The entire Kansas City Chiefs team cooperated to put on a show, with everyone keeping tight-lipped; and reading those confident rumors on social media became the daily entertainment in the office and locker room, adding a lot of fun to the tense and busy preseason life.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
In this grand farce, who is truly the hunter?
Undoubtedly, the Kansas City Chiefs remain unmoved, consistent both on the surface and inside, Reed never paying attention to the outside noise.
Because in the second preseason game, Li Wei was still on the bench.
Of course, Mahomes, Kelsey, Hill, Jones, Fuller, and other starting players were no exception, as the Kansas City Chiefs still played with a backup lineup.
Currently, there are over eighty players on the team, and before the preseason is over, Reed needs to confirm a final roster of 53, he doesn’t have time to deal with the media’s chatter, following a strict plan is the right way to prepare for the new season.
However, even though the tree wants to be calm, the wind won’t stop, and the media clamor continues to heat up—
The reason is very simple, the Kansas City Chiefs have lost again.
In the second preseason game, the Kansas City Chiefs visited the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Once again tied up in old grudges.
Even though Bell and Brown are no longer with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh fans welcomed Li Wei with the loudest boos.
Even though Li Wei didn’t take the field at all.
"7:17."
The Kansas City Chiefs suffered two consecutive losses.
In the third preseason game, the Kansas City Chiefs returned to Arrowhead Stadium to face the struggling San Francisco 49ers of recent seasons.
And then, the defending champions lost again, again, again.
"27:17."
...Three straight losses!
Although this is just the preseason, such a start was definitely unexpected for everyone—
The defending champions are facing challenges in their offseason preparation this year, running into trouble.
While preseason wins and losses don’t matter, preseason performances reflect the team’s offseason preparation, and now the defending champions have suffered three straight losses, which reporters and netizens see as conclusive evidence.
Now, Reed can’t continue to deny there are issues in the locker room, can he?
Clearly, the problem existed before Li Wei went to New York for a fashion event, shrouding the Kansas City Chiefs like dark clouds, and the subsequent outbreak was just because it couldn’t be contained anymore.
Otherwise! How could the Kansas City Chiefs lose to the San Francisco 49ers?
To know, the San Francisco 49ers have been struggling since Colin Kaepernick and Jim Harbaugh left, despite changing coaching staff, changing the main lineup, drafting, and making significant free market moves, there’s still chaos.
From the paper strength and team status, this game was considered an upset, the Kansas City Chiefs losing a supposedly certain match in a strange way.
Moreover, for the third consecutive game, the main lineup stayed on the bench and still didn’t play.
The media also noticed this, thinking that the problem with Li Wei had become so severe that Reed had to resort to such measures for strong suppression, to make players calm down and find solutions together.
The situation is very bad, possibly even exceeding their imaginations—
Reporters and netizens fully unleashed their imaginations, depicting the dire locker room scenario with all their might.
Before the final whistle blew on the Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers game, netizens couldn’t wait to start a roast session, and media reporters were all gearing up, prepared for a siege.
This time, Li Wei can’t keep hiding in his shell, can he?
Even if Li Wei doesn’t play, Reed can’t keep glossing over the situation, can he?
Reporters were sharpening their knives, eager for what seemed like an annual event, but unexpectedly, another incident occurred, instantly detonating the entire league.
Its power was akin to that of an atomic bomb.
