Chapter 1093 Leadership Temperament
Solutions to the current dilemma:

Ground offense, head-on confrontation, open up the situation through ground offense to reduce the pressure on Moore, and then activate the passing offense and regain the rhythm.

Fortunately, Levi is not fighting alone, they face the challenge side by side.

The Green Bay Packers are not a defensive team, and never have been; and LaFleur is not a defensive coach either, he is a coach with a pure offensive pedigree.

In terms of defensive system, the Green Bay Packers are even worse at ground defense.

The Green Bay Packers’ defense continued with the “3-4” formation, with three defensive linemen and four linebackers, and overall focused on pass defense in line with the league’s trend.

In the first quarter, the fundamental reason why the Green Bay Packers’ ground defense was able to withstand the impact was due to two reasons:
First, the outstanding performance of linebacker Za’Darius Smith.

Second, the human wave tactics. The other linebackers and cornerbacks focus on ground defense and do not need to spend a lot of time on pass defense. It is equivalent to seeing through the offensive tactics of the Kansas City Chiefs in advance, seizing the initiative before the kick-off, and then accumulating human waves.

Even Levi had to hit his head against the wall.

But Levi wasn’t going to sit there and wait for death.

Levi believes that the breakthrough point of the ground offense should be on linebacker Smith——

Even if this is not a breakthrough, Levi is prepared to create a gap.

Smith is not a monster with super personal abilities. He is a technical linebacker trained by the Baltimore Ravens system, focusing on observation and prediction.

Timing is crucial for Smith’s defense.

The time to raid, the time to intercept, the time to start, the time to block.

This relies on rich experience and careful observation to find the entry point in the confrontation and complete the linebacker’s defensive task.

This season, Smith has risen strongly, mainly due to the accumulation of experience and finally completed a qualitative change. After transferring to the Green Bay Packers, he gained the trust and affirmation of the head coach and finally showed his brilliance.

So far in this game, Smith’s performance is indeed remarkable.

Therefore, the key to breaking through Smith lies in timing and cannot simply rely on brute force.

Line up, ready.

Levi turned his head to look at the side of the court and exchanged a quick glance with Reed.

Reid’s vision was not clear behind his glasses, but this veteran coach who had experienced many trials and tribulations naturally had his own judgment.

then.

“attack!”

Moore called the game.

He took the football from the center with both hands, turned around and handed it directly to Levi without stopping or hesitating, and made way.

Ground attack!

And, without any tricks, Levi activated it immediately.

With a lateral pull, he crossed the front line confrontation area and ran towards the right slot, preparing to break through without stopping.

Smith moved sideways without hesitation, blocking Levi’s path; but Smith did not rush forward, as his mission was not to stop Levi immediately –

Because they all know that once the linebacker tries to take the initiative and attack first, he may expose his own loopholes, which will become an opportunity for Levi to turn defense into offense.

Smith’s task was to entangle, drag, and delay Levi’s ground advancement, and then rely on human wave tactics to complete the ground defense.

The Baltimore Ravens used this strategy in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although they kept losing yards, they did curb the danger of Levi’s unstoppable momentum and scoring a fatal blow with a large number of yards.

Now, Mahomes is not the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, which gives the Green Bay Packers more room to operate. LaFleur showed his ability to respond on the spot, following closely and strangling the Kansas City Chiefs.

So, Smith was waiting, waiting for the right moment to attack, and to deliver a fatal blow when Levi was about to break through.

Like a patient hunter.

Smith’s patience and concentration forced Levi to take the first move, because the other linebackers on the left, the cornerback on the right, and the safety behind were all quickly closing in and surrounding him, and the opportunity might be fleeting.

Levi continued to move forward along the 45-degree diagonal line, holding Smith back. His steps were neither fast nor slow.

The two people were in a stalemate and the atmosphere was tense.

At this moment, Smith’s pupils shrank and he noticed Levi’s actions——

coming.

Smith acted decisively and rushed towards Levi head-on without hesitation.

However, the next second, Smith was hit sideways by a surge of force.

The force of the longitudinal forward charge collided with the force of the lateral interception, and Smith’s internal organs rolled violently. His whole body froze and he stood there with blood flowing backwards.

Oops, it’s Kelsey!
It turns out that this was the purpose of Levi leaving the pocket and moving sideways, relying on Kelce to complete the break.

In just one second, Smith’s movements were stiff and staggering for just a second, and Levi instantly started to move forward and cut past Smith.

Light, accurate, sharp.

A sword seals the throat.

This is Levi’s ability, and it is also the power of the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive team.

Smith watched Levi pass by him unharmed, but if Kelce broke Smith’s block, what about the cornerback?
Cornerback Kevin King was thrown aside by Kelce, and although he didn’t understand why, he immediately realized that the situation had changed.

Kevin King also came from the 2017 draft, with the 2017rd pick in the second round, but all the focus of the rookies over the years has been on Levi, and even Mahomes is slightly inferior. Naturally, no one cares about Kevin King, and they all live in Levi’s shadow.

He has been eager to meet Levi and personally feel the power of this running back. So far, from the confrontation in the first quarter –

It’s nothing more than that, just an empty name.

One by one, Levi was described as a devil, but he was just a mortal after all.

Ha ha.

Kevin King was highly focused and started immediately after he strayed from Kelsey.

opportunity!

Now is his chance to challenge Levi. He will prove himself. He will make a big splash. He will make everyone in the league know his name.

“Kevin King!”

“This time, the collision was so violent, Kevin King was directly knocked away.”

“Oh, Kevin King tried to tackle Levi, but obviously his tackling posture was wrong. This is the posture for facing the wide receiver, but it should not be used to face Levi.”

“Kevin King failed to lower his center of gravity! Rookie mistake!”

“Levi did not hold back on his speed and strength, and at the same time lowered his center of gravity in advance. With a rhino charge, Kevin King flew into the air, escaping gravity and flying out, just like the fluttering feather in ‘Forrest Gump’.”

“God, Kevin King, this is horrible.”

Now, the entire league does know his name.

Kevin King: ???

Levi changed his propulsion method while driving at high speed and broke through with a bull charge. A crack appeared in the Green Bay Packers’ encirclement net.

Levi’s steps on the ground were extremely firm and powerful. In just two or three steps, he not only rushed out five yards, but also forced himself to rush out ten yards before the opponent surrounded him. In a flash, he had already scored the first attack.

With just one block, Kelsey completed the breakthrough, which immediately reversed the offensive and defensive situation of both sides on the ground and regained the initiative.

Tough, efficient, sharp.

And, the blood is boiling!
