Dominate the Super Bowl

"Oops, slipped there. Sorry."

Looking at Li Wei's calm face, Bailey was momentarily at a loss for words, ready to retort, but recalling his own sequence of actions and reactions, he just swallowed his words.

After thinking for a bit, Bailey still spoke up, "Sorry, I just acted like a jerk, I think I was just..."

Not thinking straight.

Bailey didn't know how to explain.

Then, someone in the crowd took over the conversation, "...having that time of the month?"

Hahaha.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Speechless, Bailey silently flipped off in the direction of the voice, and looked at Li Wei, regaining his composure, "Nice performance just now, throwing me down twice in a row, looks like it wasn't just luck." Find your next adventure on empire

"Three times." Li Wei said calmly, holding up three fingers.

Bailey was at a loss for words, unable to retort, and spread his hands, "But there won't be many chances like this in the upcoming training camp, I will take it seriously, one hundred percent, giving it my all."

Now, Bailey had come around, realizing that even in summer training camp, they couldn't slack off, otherwise they wouldn't need to wait for their rivals. These rookies could easily embarrass the old guys like them, and they wouldn't know where to put their faces. So, he had to get into the mindset for the new season starting now.

Pausing, Bailey looked at Li Wei, still somewhat hesitant but finally said, "Welcome to the Chiefs, rookie."

Childres exhaled deeply, relieved that a fight could end this way, and walked back to Reed, "Coach, training's over, should we call them out for a talk? Things almost got out of control just now."

Reed shook his head slightly, "Didn't you see? The rookie has already handled everything."

He had the strength, the guts, the nerve, the smarts, everything you could want, and the team's atmosphere harmoniously became vibrant and enthusiastic.

Reed deeply believed that by drafting Li Wei with their top pick, the Kansas City Chiefs had found a treasure.

"Maybe, we've already found the future leader of the team," Reed murmured softly to himself.

Childres was still not sure, a running back? Really?

Reed had no intention of discussing it further, "Bulldozing, continue".

Childres nodded and returned to the ring, shouting, "Bulldozing continues, next group, reminder, players can repeat, but by the end, everyone must practice, everyone. Quarterbacks excluded."

Li Wei, who had just returned to Mahomes's side, hearing this, stepped forward again, his face eager as he looked towards the Defensive group, ready for another round.

Safety Eric Berry from the Defensive group openly scoffed, "Rookie, go back, why come out and stir up trouble again, behave, go back."

Boom, another burst of laughter.

The mood was exceptionally light-hearted.

In the Defensive group crowd, Safety Leon McQuire III uneasily glanced at Berry, swallowing the words he was about to say.

McQuire, from the University of Southern California, was Li Wei's opponent in his first official NCAA game, completely overshadowed then; yet unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, the two met again on the NFL field as teammates—

He was picked by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round, 218th overall.

Yet, seeing each other again, the differences were stark.

If McQuire said he didn't want to measure up to him, that would surely be a lie. After all, they were both rookies, yet he could only watch as Li Wei took the lead again; but now, it seemed Li Wei had earned his spot in less than a morning, while him?

Probably even Berry who played the same position didn't remember his name.

Sigh.

McQuire secretly exhaled, no matter what, he still needed to do his best—

Entering the NFL meant starting from scratch, all the college days had become a thing of the past, and they should strive for their brand new professional career.

Just like Li Wei.

So, McQuire stepped forward, volunteering himself boldly.

Almost at the same time, someone from the Offensive group stepped forward too, surprisingly another rookie running back, Hunter.

"Roar, 'rookie VS rookie'."

"Let the Offensive group rookie see the strength of our Defensive group."

"Another running back, come on, show us a move."

Hunter and McQuire's gazes clashed in the air, sparking with fiery determination and battle spirit.

From today, they finally bid farewell to their college days and began a new chapter, each rookie had their own new battle to fight.

Spring training camp kicked off amid a lively atmosphere filled with vibrant colors—

Exhaustion.

Deep-seated exhaustion that permeated every bone, felt both physically and mentally, revealing an overwhelming sense of overexertion at the moment the day's training ended, flooding in like a tide, slightly relaxing and then not wanting to move even a finger easily.

Only then did Li Wei truly feel the tension lurking under his skin.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Simply in terms of training volume and intensity, a comprehensive enhancement was undeniable, and Kelsey admitted that this year's atmosphere was unlike the previous years, you could feel the coaching staff consciously stepping up the training intensity from the first day of spring camp with iron discipline.

But if it were just so, it wouldn't be overexerting.

The fundamental reason was the tense nerves, the unnoticed consumption caused by pressure was continually burning quietly, and hence the impact was more severe.

Top Scholar. Prodigy. Chinese.

Label after label was affixed to Li Wei, whether it was doubt or expectation, thousands of eyes were focused on him, making today filled with extra challenges; regardless, Li Wei still withstood the pressure and secured his footing with a performance beyond expectations, completing the first day's training.

Beyond the exhaustion, Li Wei was filled mostly with anticipation.

If the first day already brought so many challenges, he had every reason to look forward to future training and hold greater expectations for the professional competitions.

After training ended, the rookies who joined the team this year and the sophomores from last year's draft stayed behind to help clean up the training equipment.

In fact, the team had assistants specifically responsible for these tasks, and there was no shortage of hands; the freshmen and sophomores stayed to help not only as a way to interact but also to bond, which was a feature of the spring training camp, something not repeated in the following summer camp or regular training sessions.

This way, it would help these young players integrate into the team more quickly.

"So, what's on the dinner menu?"

"I could eat a whole cow right now!"

"Have we hired a nutritionist? I heard that the nutritionists in New England are strict, not allowing eating too much or too little, making each meal feel like you're in prison."

"Psh, you should hear about Tom Brady's diet, way crazier than New England's nutritionist, it's not really eating, it's more like studying Frankenstein."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

The chatter echoed across the training field, the young ones quickly warming up to each other, especially with a gregarious guy like Mahomes around.

Just then, the whistle sounded again.

The blonde woman who had appeared on the training field in the morning passed by, seemingly heading toward the coach's office, and these youthful players evidently had not learned their lesson as the whistles started up again.

Sure enough, the blonde woman stopped in her tracks once more.
