Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 376 375 Fully focused

Brady: Shit.

With a roll, Brady stood up, glaring at Revis with a menacing look. What kind of secret Power Pill had this guy taken during halftime? Why had he suddenly become so energetic? Why was a mercenary working so hard?

But Revis didn't care at all, flaunting a triumphant smile and provocatively flexing his biceps. He clashed head-on without showing any weakness, causing Brady's chest to seize up before he turned and violently swung his fist.

Revis ignored Brady. With a turn, he could see the faces of the Kansas City Chiefs, clenching their fists, roaring, and cheering, all uniting solidly to applaud his performance.

That feeling, truly missed.

It reminded Revis once again of why he could never forget this sport.

It was this moment, right here, right now.

Unconsciously, Revis also felt his blood starting to boil.

"The Kansas City Chiefs have responded in the second half."

"First with the offensive group's bold long pass raid, followed by the defensive group's all-out pressure and frontal rush pass, a tough, flexible, and outstanding tactical arrangement, giving a tough reply to the New England Patriots."

"Now, the pressure is on the New England Patriots."

"Facing the combined offensive and defensive strength of the Kansas City Chiefs, Belichick must keep control of the situation. If the Chiefs continue to close the point gap, the fourth quarter might have many uncertainties."

Belichick didn't need Nantz to remind him, as he had already sensed the shift in momentum.

"7:24."

The New England Patriots were struck out, but they still entered the field goal range, and the Special Duty Group prepared to kick the field goal for three points.

Looking at the score, the New England Patriots maintained a three-possession advantage, just like in the first half; but the tide was slowly turning, and naturally, Belichick wouldn't miss it. The Patriots had to respond.

However.

The core appeal of competitive sports lies in:

Confrontation.

Clearly, the Kansas City Chiefs were ready for the challenge, while the New England Patriots' defensive group faced a severe test—

The memories of the opening game were rekindled like embers coming back to life.

"New England side rush breach!"

"Kansas central breakthrough!"

"Gamble!"

"Stacking up, both teams are stacking up in the middle!"

"Wait, that's Li Wei, there's Li Wei! He hasn't lost his balance, God, who can stop this guy!"

"Li Wei successfully shakes off the tackle, breaks through the encirclement, Li Wei is breaking through."

"Linebacker! Tackle!"

"Oh, missed again!"

"Incredible, Li Wei shakes off again!"

"Double team tackle! Good God, this time New England's Safety, Chung Family, and McCourty finally didn't miss their tackles and managed to stop Li Wei in time."

"But!" Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"Wow, Kansas noticed New England's strategy of side breaches and unexpectedly chose a central breakthrough. Li Wei shakes off tackles twice in a row, converting a three-yard advance into an eleven-yard run, once again earning a first down for Kansas."

...

"Hunter!"

"Smith's pass is to the rookie running back Hunter, not Hill, Hill was a smoke bomb, Cornerback Butler made a misjudgment and missed the defense!"

"Hunter continues to advance!"

"Brilliant, the first down is secured once more!"

...

"Pressure, New England Patriots' rush is causing trouble again, Linebacker Harrison is ready for the sack."

"Oh, the collision!"

"Smith dodged the tackle but still couldn't avoid the collision. Harrison completed an effective hit, and Smith passed the ball just before losing his balance."

"Li Wei?"

"No, Kelsey."

"A beautiful block and cover. Li Wei and Kelsey working together perfectly, Cornerback Gilmore was completely drawn away by Li Wei's movement."

"Kelsey is breaking through, he's tearing apart the defense like a heavy weapon."

"Seventeen-yard advance, Kelsey helps the Kansas City Chiefs get to the edge of the Red Zone."

...

"Hill!"

"Touchdown!"

"The New England Patriots' Defensive group made a lethal error, completely deceived by Kansas City's offensive setup, leaving Hill wide open. Smith easily connects with a pass for another score for Kansas."

"Effortless! Like taking candy from a baby!"

"Wow."

"Alert sounded, the Kansas City Chiefs are closing in further on the New England Patriots, they hold nothing back, they're here to fight."

The New England Patriots Defensive group's frontline pressure is still dominant, once again forcing Smith into an awkward position; but the key point is, after coming back from the halftime break, Smith regained his focus and calmness. His defensive reading and tactical distribution became noticeably sharper, and he found gaps with accuracy under the relentless pressure of the opponent, completing the advance.

Not just Smith, but the entire Offensive group stiffened up their play significantly.

The tension on the field suddenly ramped up.

During a critical moment, Brady stepped up once again, taking over the offensive responsibility and leading the New England Patriots Offensive group in a fierce charge over the midfield.

The hard-charging offense ignited flames at the windy Gillette Stadium in Foxborough; the temperature, which had been falling due to the deepening night, mysteriously warmed up, releasing an unbelievable energy, mounting a counterattack.

At this moment, Houston once again rose to the challenge.

Third gear, four yards.

The New England Patriots' dazzling array of running routes completely baffled the Kansas City Chiefs, to the point where Houston had no choice but to go one-on-one with Tight End Gronkowski. Facing Gronkowski, who typically requires two or even three defenders to barely manage him, Houston was completely outmatched, simply unable to effectively counter with just one person.

But Houston didn't give up. Just as Gronkowski was about to catch the ball, he got a hand to it first, changing the trajectory of the Football, resulting in Gronkowski being unable to secure control of the ball—

The pass was incomplete.

In a fierce and hard collision, Houston made a crucial defensive play, forcing the New England Patriots into a three and out once again.

Even though the New England Patriots still managed to get three points from a field goal, the gap between the two teams had been narrowed to within the range of two possessions.

"14:27."

Only thirteen points apart, the Kansas City Chiefs are gradually eroding the New England Patriots' lead.

At this point, Belichick's troop movements and overall strategy finally displayed their power, and the tough coach once again revealed his smarts.

This time, it was on the defensive end.

Surprisingly, using just four men to rush and pressure, they maintained frontline intensity while three linebackers joined the Cornerbacks in short pass defense coverage.

The passing defense, which had been lackluster all season, suddenly showed firmness at a crucial moment. With Butler nearly intercepting a pass connection between Smith and Hill and successfully disrupting the pass, the New England Patriots handed Kansas City Chiefs their first three and out of the second half, regaining control of the situation.

In the midst of stormy waves, the New England Patriots stood their ground solidly.

This scene felt familiar—

Over the past fifteen years, the New England Patriots have shown this kind of intensity time and again on the playoff stage, with the Belichick and Brady duo at Gillette Stadium, sending wave after wave of challengers back home.

Remember, since the new century, in the seasons the New England Patriots made the playoffs, they have only lost three home games in the divisional rounds or before; the last time they lost a home game in the divisional round was in the 2010 season, a shocking defeat to the archrival New York Jets.

No matter what difficulties or challenges they face, the New England Patriots always manage to stand firm and strike back.

Right now, it's the same scenario, with Belichick and Brady once again steadying the situation.

The defending champions roar out!
