Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 1390: Layer Upon Layer of Mountains



Startled, stunned, a gasp of cold air, and then—

Ahhh! Ahhh!

That's the cheer from the Houston Texans fans at Arrowhead Stadium, utterly beside themselves, going mad, a chill running down their spines, collectively descending into frenzy.

From the ecstatic joy of Watt's pass interception to the shock of Li Wei's interception turning into a catch, to the despair as Li Wei breaks through like a knife dancing wildly, an incredible opportunity at fourth and ten suddenly being turned by the opponent and even about to evolve into a touchdown.

Then, Watt once again played the savior, completing a tackle on the one-yard line in front of the end zone, rescued at the last moment from hell after falling from heaven.

The joy was chaotic and rampant, surging like a flood, and they unleashed energy without worrying that this was the Kansas City Chiefs' home turf.

A small group of Houston Texans fans released unbelievable energy, sweeping across the entire Arrowhead Stadium.

Including Nantz, without exception.

The rollercoaster ride from peak to valley and back to peak again made Nantz's flushed cheeks on the verge of explosion, feeling compelled to applaud Watt!

However, Romo noticed the situation immediately.

Because he is a recently retired quarterback, and because he has witnessed Li Wei's growth, even in the heat of passion, he maintained a bit of clarity.

Romo noticed the referee's gesture, and he was stunned, blurting out the thought that popped into his head, "Touchdown."

Hearing his own voice, Romo himself was dumbfounded: ???

Turning to look at Nantz, Nantz was equally dumbfounded: ???

The CBS live director was the calmest, having no time to cheer or be amazed, decisively replaying the final moments.

In front of the TV, millions of viewers were all clapping and celebrating, momentarily unable to detach from the miraculous showdown between Watt and Li Wei, catching their breath, ready to enjoy Watt's miraculous rescue on the one-yard line through slow-motion replay once more.

Comparable to the thrill of a Hollywood bomb defusal scene.

As a result, all the brains crashed.

The slow-motion on the TV screen clearly showed Li Wei's knee didn't touch the ground; using Watt as a cushion, he completed a 180-degree spin during Watt's tackle, and before completely losing his balance, he opened his right hand, holding the football single-handedly, stretching it into the end zone.

According to football game rules, when a player catches and continues to advance outside the end zone, as long as the part of the football held crosses the end zone line before the knee touches the ground, it's a touchdown.

So, the referee raised both hands high—

Touchdown!

The entire North American continent collectively froze.

Romo looked at Nantz, Nantz looked at Romo, both appearing in a brief half-second of silence, bewilderment and shock swirling in their minds.

Thalia, standing amidst the bustling crowd, suddenly stood up tall, raising her arms high, shouting towards the field with all her might.

"Touchdown!"

Instantly, it ignited Arrowhead Stadium.

Ahhh... ahhh!

Finally, boom.

The rising frenzy was pushed to the extreme in an instant; Kansas City Chiefs fans, fully understanding what had happened, had their rationality burned to ashes.

For Arrowhead Stadium, the extreme joy of falling from hell to heaven and then free falling again, only to soar again into the clouds, drove people crazy.

So, everyone went crazy.

Not only the fans, but the Kansas City Chiefs players were also flabbergasted one by one. Mahomes was the first to raise his hands high, making a touchdown gesture, and ran uncontrollably towards Li Wei, while other players scattered in different corners of the field all rushed towards Li Wei regardless.

Even on the sidelines, the defensive group, coaching staff, and staff all lost their minds, exchanging incredulous glances, and started high-fiving in celebration.

"...Tony, did this just really happen?"

"You better believe it. This really happened and is happening; we are witnessing it with our own eyes."

Finally, Nantz and Romo regained their composure, exchanged a glance again, and both broke into an amused smile.

Nantz, being experienced, steadied himself, collected his thoughts, lamenting, admiring, exclaiming; no words were enough to describe the feeling of the moment.

"Wow."

"I mean... wow, sorry, I need to catch my breath; I need my brain to cool down a bit because we just witnessed the most unbelievable offensive play of the season and because we just witnessed two of the league's top players pushing each other to the extreme in an offensive-defensive confrontation."

"JJ-Watt, I mean, due to injuries, Watt's dominance has gradually declined, and he seems to be fading out of people's sight, but we should never forget; he is JJ-Watt."

"The one and only Watt."

"Confronted with this season's unbeatable 'Cheating Motion,' Watt used a blitz tactic as a cover, and the real strategy was indeed to block the pass, trying to interfere with the quarterback; if he could intercept correctly, then the block could evolve into swatting or even an interception."

"This undoubtedly gives the league an inspiration; maybe, this is a choice to counter 'Cheating Motion.'"

"Watt almost succeeded. No, I would say, Watt succeeded."

"Watt's block plunged the Kansas City Chiefs into shock; the 'Cheating Motion,' which had swept through the season, was intercepted by an opponent for the first time."

"However, Li Wei. Li Wei did it again, seizing an unnoticed gap, with a spectacular one-handed catch pulling the Kansas City Chiefs back from the cliff edge, forcibly transforming an interception into a catch, earning the Kansas City Chiefs extra life."

"When we praise Li Wei, what are we truly complimenting?"

"I think this offensive-defensive play provides the best example."

"Li Wei's resilience, focus, determination to never let any opportunity slip in a strong confrontation, showcasing his talent and strength to 120% on the field."

"Li Wei not only turned an interception into a catch but also completed the fourth and ten conversion, completely reversing the game, and even further, charging towards the end zone."

"Just when we all thought Li Wei was unstoppable and about to score another touchdown, Watt's relentless pursuit brought the suspense back, Watt completed a clean tackle, making a perfect defense on the one-yard line in front of the end zone; Watt fulfilled all the correct instructions of a defensive player."

"For any other player, Watt undoubtedly completed a successful defense, winning a lifeline for the Houston Texans."

"But Watt's opponent was Li Wei. In desperation, Li Wei once again demonstrated his control, but this time it wasn't foot control but arm control, managing to ensure the football crossed the end zone line before the knee touched the ground, achieving this incredible touchdown against all odds."

"A difference of a fraction."

"A real hairbreadth difference, yet the outcome of a battle between the strong often hinges on a hairbreadth difference."

"Li Wei once again turned decay into magic, single-handedly pulling the Kansas City Chiefs back from hell to heaven, while pushing the Houston Texans to hell."

"Oh, God."

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't turned on the TV to watch this American League final, believe me, it's your loss, 100%."

"Now, the Kansas City Chiefs further extended the score gap, and the pressure on the shoulders of the Houston Texans, we can hardly imagine."
