Chapter 420: Respond to requests
Buck, with a calm face.

After experiencing the test of the buzzer-beating moment in the last divisional game, he finally realized that he liked moments like that, moments when he was extremely tense, blood was spreading in his mouth, and his heart was on the verge of exploding. The more critical and tense the situation was, the more excited he became, as if he could hear the sound of adrenaline burning.

The same is true in front of me.

Unlike the bad weather at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, the weather at the Evergreen Bank Center was sunny and the impact of wind direction was almost unnoticeable.

This is a good thing.

The whole stadium was filled with noise, but Buck remained completely unmoved. He raised his hand, his eyes fixed on the football thrown by the center, and felt the rhythm with his heartbeat.

then.

Run up, kick, and exert force.

Ah, ah ah!
The noise level at the scene climbed to a new height, like a volcanic eruption, but it strangled the football’s throat the moment it reached the commanding height and began to fall.

The air stagnated for a moment.

The football was floating, and its falling arc was slightly beyond expectations. It was not only biased to the left but also too low. It was quickly exhausted and seemed unable to support the football to reach the end zone.

Is 57 yards too much of a stretch after all?
The air began to burn where the eyes were focused, and the cheers from the Everlasting Bank Center began to stir as they saw the football was about to go under the goal and into the ground; but the football stubbornly flicked forward, and before the pupils had time to catch the flight trajectory of the football, the sound had already exploded.

Bang!
The goalpost began to vibrate with a buzzing sound, and the flight path of the brown-red light immediately became clear in the field of vision.

A refraction.

It hit the left goal post, changed its flight trajectory, and flew lightly over the goal and into the spectator stands behind.

……oh.

The cheers and screams stuck in the throat turned into sighs, the shoulders and heads drooped heavily, and the goddess of luck did not seem to be on the home team’s side.

Suddenly, Buck raised his hands high, turned around and looked in the direction of his teammates on the side of the court. At a glance, he could see the figures of everyone cheering with their arms raised, which made Buck smile completely:
All requests are answered.

They were expecting a free kick, so Buck gave them a free kick; they were expecting to continue to widen the score gap, so Buck expanded his lead.

The hit rate in the 2017 season is still 100%.

“Buck! Buck! Buck!”

Levi was the first to lead the cheering and entered party mode standing in the opponent’s home court. After the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense finally regained some form, he once again gave the home team a wake-up call.

The entire Everlasting Bank Center seemed a bit dull. Every effort was made to find some positive factors but always ended in failure, leaving one feeling dizzy and listless.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that the first half is finally over.

“17:0”.

All the points came in the second quarter. The Kansas City Chiefs overturned the situation with a sudden burst within three minutes and firmly took the initiative to win.

Obviously, during the halftime break, both teams have their own tasks. The leader cannot take it lightly, and the laggard cannot surrender.

Whether it was last year’s Super Bowl finals or the last round of divisional games, one game after another proved the true meaning of competitive sports with practical actions:
As long as the game is not over, everything is possible.

……

The Jacksonville Jaguars locker room was a bit chaotic, with restless emotions and confused thoughts. Although no one was making loud noises, one could still feel the restlessness, and the mixed emotions in their eyes were intertwined in the air.

Obviously, this kind of first half was not in their pre-game preparation blueprint. After the divisional round, the media almost unanimously believed that the Jacksonville Jaguars had become the top favorite to win the championship. Many people had even begun to prepare for the Super Bowl fever, but in the end they were poured a bucket of cold water on their heads.

So, what now?
Ma Ruo was adjusting his breathing, trying to organize his thoughts and find a solution.

Just as Ma Ruo was about to speak, the door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open. A loud noise made everyone in the room tense up and alert. Some people even stood up with clenched fists and took a fighting stance, but after seeing the characters appearing, they all looked away one by one –

Cardwell.

As a person who holds the power of life and death over the entire team, no one dared to look at the angry Cardwell, for fear of becoming cannon fodder.

Cardwell didn’t care about these details at all. After being furious to the extreme, he calmed down instead. He didn’t yell or lose control. He scanned the entire audience with cold eyes.

“hehe.”

“Girls, wake up. The entire league is treating you like clowns, and you’re still so self-righteous as to flirt and attract attention?”

“Oh, sorry, did I delay your time to put on makeup?”

“Do you think your opponents will kneel down and hand you victory without any effort? If God wanted you to advance to the Super Bowl, he would show a miracle; but when I see your fat asses still dangling in front of me, I know God may not have this idea.”

“So, you need to fight for it yourself.”

“Defense team, what the hell are you girls playing? Letting those wimps have whatever they want?”

It was not unusual for the Jacksonville Jaguars to not score, and it was not the first time they were shutout in the first half of the season; but it was another matter that their opponent scored 17 points in the first half, as the performance of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense was far from expectations.

This is the problem.

“One Smith and one Levi, that’s all, but you can’t stop them? Why? Because their handsome faces have mesmerized you so much that you forget about it and can’t bear to do it? What’s next? Are you going to kneel down and lick their shoes? I want to enjoy this scene.”

“You disgusting assholes, your fat asses look like 150 pounds of chewed bubble gum. If you can’t move your asses, tell me and get out of here. I’ll send the cheerleaders on. At least they can help boost the ratings.”

With crackling and flourish, Cardwell’s sudden flurry of energy silenced the entire locker room, even their breathing was strangled.

Cardwell glanced at the entire audience again, and after venting his anger for a while, he still couldn’t calm down.

“Wake up, princesses, it’s time to kick some ass, otherwise, it will be my turn to kick ass after the game, and believe me, I’m not that gentle.”

“No one is safe.”

“nobody.”

Cardwell spoke each word lightly and calmly, scanning the entire court with his eyes, falling on every player, and finally looking at Ma Ruo.

Then, without paying any attention to the trembling eyes in the locker room, Cardwell turned around and left, not even bothering to give them an extra glance.

No rage, no foul language, no profanity.

however.

The calm and indifferent voice fell lightly, but it plunged the entire locker room into deep fear.

No one is safe.

The same goes for Ma Ruo, who has received 100% support from Cardwell throughout the season.
