Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 385 384 Wanfu Mary

Danger, extreme danger!

With wolves in front and tigers behind, Smith found himself surrounded in the narrow pocket, his every step treacherous and precarious, with absolutely no room to breathe.

In the time it took to make just two steps of adjustment, the Flyers had already successfully disentangled from the offensive line, and in three steps took two, lunging towards Smith.

Smith's lateral movement was simply like a lamb walking into the jaws of a tiger!

Fight!

That was the only thought in Smith's mind, and he wanted to give it a try.

So.

Step up, charge forward.

Brake!

Just when it looked like Smith and the Flyers were about to collide, Smith hit an emergency brake to control his body, stopping dead in front of the Flyers—

Then, slightly shifted his position.

The Flyers, who were already fully committed and striving to take down Smith with all their might, were caught off guard and unable to control their body.

Their feet tried to brake, but they slipped, losing control entirely.

Brush past, misalign.

The Flyers could only touch Smith with their arm as they flew past him.

Smith held his breath, retaining that single breath firmly, refusing to relax. After the brush with the Flyers, his body wobbled but he persistently refused to buckle, continuing to persevere on sheer mental strength, a resolve sparkling in his eyes like never before.

Turn around, survey the whole field.

Push off, one step forward.

He could do it, just like the first long pass in the second half.

Exert force. Rotate body. Swing arm.

His entire body was like a bow drawn tight, fully stretched, power transferred completely, and finally with great effort he hurled.

Whoosh.

The football cut through the sky, tracing an arc that was breathtakingly suspenseful.

The next second, Smith was struck down by a high-speed train crossing his path, but he didn't waver, eyes unblinkingly following the football.

Soaring, rising high and soaring at will.

…

Li Wei, fully focused.

He stood behind the Shotgun Formation, his attention highly concentrated.

Following the snap, without hesitation, he activated and cut into the slot, charging straight along the slot.

He passed by the Flyers in an instant, with no pause, striving to catch up with Kelsey who was also advancing vertically; in a blink, he had already burst out five yards.

Linebacker Harrison followed Li Wei step for step, not rashly closing in, but maintaining a distance and advancing in a straight line alongside him.

Just then, as his feet just crossed the thirty-five-yard line, Li Wei cut inside, charging head-on towards Harrison.

Harrison was startled, all defenses up.

However, he hadn't expected that Li Wei would pay him no mind, instead executing a crossing run with Hill on the other side—

The two of them continued to sprint diagonally, their speed advantage fully displayed.

This?

Harrison hesitated for a moment, but Van Noy, another linebacker, did not.

The Cornerbacks and Linebackers are responsible for man coverage, while the Safety is tasked with zone coverage; so no matter what happens, they must keep a firm eye on their respective opponents.

From every aspect, Kelsey, who was matched up against Cornerback Gilmore, had an absolute size advantage; thus, it seemed likely that Li Wei might play the role of a decoy to draw attention, but in the end, Smith would still pass the ball to Kelsey.

The current running routes confirmed this—

The routes of the three Wide Receivers and one Running Back were dizzyingly intertwined, with only Kelsey unswervingly sprinting straight downfield.

So, even though Van Noy hoped to cover Li Wei, he still fulfilled his duty, sticking closely to Hill and refusing to be deceived.

Harrison noticed Van Noy's adherence to Hill's footsteps and without hesitation followed Li Wei's charge.

However.

Harrison had just started, his feet crossing the thirty-yard line, not yet having reached the twenty-five-yard line, when Li Wei unexpectedly turned back to face him.

Harrison: ???

Not just Harrison, Van Noy was equally disoriented.

Li Wei once again executed a crossing switch with Hill, the two carving a "Z" shape with their routes across the middle of the field, firmly seizing the initiative.

During the consecutive abrupt stops and turns, Van Noy and Harrison's centers of gravity respectively wavered to different extents, causing a slight hesitation in their steps.

Harrison tried to stick close.

But Li Wei saw the opportunity and was not prepared to let it pass.

Push off, accelerate, break away.

One step, two steps, it only seemed to take three, and Li Wei was already sprinting diagonally, rapidly nearing the twenty-yard line, leaving Harrison noticeably behind.

Harrison, damn it!

Clenching his teeth, Harrison raced to keep up at full speed, but just as he took two steps out, the next second he saw Li Wei converging with Kelsey, who had been charging straight ahead on this side.

Damn!

Harrison sensed trouble but was still half a step too slow.

Li Wei and Kelsey completed the cross switch, with Kelsey charging directly at Harrison; while Cornerback Gilmore, who had been marking Kelsey, also subconsciously followed suit.

Then—

Li Wei easily shook off his tail, leaving everyone in the dust.

He dug in, exerted force, and sprinted frantically.

Li Wei shed his burden, unleashing his speed in full, sprinting with all his might along the sideline.

The Edgerunner, reappearing at Gillette Stadium.

Huh!

The entire Gillette Stadium gasped, bystanders seeing clearer than the players, their eyes catching the first glimpse of that streak of radiance.

Danger, danger, danger!

Even though Gilmore also realized the crisis and decisively abandoned Kelsey to chase after it, Harrison, left behind, helplessly tangled up with Kelsey; but Gilmore's speed was clearly no match for Li Wei, as he watched the gap widen helplessly.

Li Wei ran faster and faster—

Fifteen yards.

Ten yards.

Five yards.

The end zone, now just within reach.

Not only the Chung Family, but Safety McCourty had also come over, they took their positions leisurely, seizing the advantage preemptively—

This is where the Hail Mary pass is most perilous and challenging.

The offensive group must snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

So, who is Smith's pass intended for?

Kelsey?

No, Li Wei.

"Fourth down, seven yards to go, nine seconds!"

"Kansas is in trouble, New England blitzing."

"Smith is dodging, Smith is trying to survive, Smith still won't give up!"

"God, the Flyers miss the tackle, Smith finds space to throw again."

"Smith throws, Smith aims for the end zone, a thirty-six-yard long pass aiming for the end zone, the Hail Mary, we are witnessing Smith challenge the Hail Mary."

"The pass is intended for—"

"Li Wei?"

"Li Wei enters an unguarded state, God, how did he do it?"

"Gilmore is trying to catch up, but Li Wei's speed is unstoppable."

"Li Wei, fifteen yards, ten yards! Five yards!"

"Li Wei enters the end zone!"

"Chung Family and McCourty team up in defense, Li Wei, Li Wei goes straight into Chung Family."

"Smith's Hail Mary pass aims for the upper right dead angle in the end zone, the pass is slightly long, control is not precise enough."

"God, three people! Three people jump at the same time!"

He's taking on two by himself.

What should Li Wei do?

First step, keep calm.

Second step, secure the position.

Use the positioning of one defending player to block the interference from another.

Then, believe in yourself and jump.

Li Wei turned around, using his back to block Chung Family, avoiding McCourty, intentionally putting all his weight on the Chung Family to suppress his jump, his gaze fixated on the football, looking for the right moment to leap accurately.

In front of him, he could see a pair of hands, probably McCourty's who jumped prematurely, reaching for the football; but Li Wei didn't rush to jump.

Waiting half a beat, pushing against Chung Family, then jumping.

Even though Chung Family jumped immediately after, Li Wei still got ahead, stretching his hand out while McCourty was descending, and Chung Family was still rising—

He reached, he grabbed.

He, caught it.
