Dominate the Super Bowl

"Oh, if I remember correctly, we won that game, didn't we?"

Li Wei, with a look of utter sincerity.

The reporter couldn't help but want to roll their eyes. Isn't that obvious?

Up to this point, Li Wei's professional career remained undefeated, winning all the way from the NCAA to the NFL, slapping back all doubts, slurs, and attacks—a resounding smack for each criticism. And there he went with his "if I remember correctly," really, just wow.

But soon, the reporters got the hint. Clearly, Li Wei's words had a subtext—they were a dig at Zhu Zhu's all-talk-no-action attitude, suggesting that his opponent was hardly worth mentioning.

Now that's what you call a master, showing everyone what "cursing without foul language" and "vanquishing foes amid laughter" really means. Shouldn't Zhu Zhu hurry up and become his disciple?

Immediately, a reporter followed up with a question, "Are you mocking Zhu Zhu for all his trash talk?"

Li Wei flashed a smile and shook his head gently, "No, how could that be? His mouth is all he has left. We really shouldn't deprive him of that last bit of happiness."

"Protecting the vulnerable is everyone's responsibility," he said.

And with that, Li Wei walked away... just like that... he left.

With just a few sentences, the impact was massive. Zhu Zhu suddenly seemed weak, helpless, and dim, causing the media to all sigh in consensus.

"He's still so young, after all." Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

Zhu Zhu: ???

Just the day before, the media couldn't stop praising Zhu Zhu's youthfulness, his record-breaking actions in the league, and his display of unparalleled potential at such a young age. How had youth suddenly become an Achilles' heel for inexperience overnight?

The pre-game trash-talk battle hadn't even begun, and Zhu Zhu was already seemingly defeated by doubt.

But to be fair, "Kansas City Chiefs VS Pittsburgh Steelers" was indeed set to be a tough match, and ESPN's "Inside the League" had already started an in-depth introduction.

Bart, once again, was expansive in his discussion.

"Without doubt, this is the most important game of Li Wei's career," he claimed.

Right from the start, it set the scene for a do-or-die situation.

Across the round table.

Lawson looked at Bart with a helpless expression. He wanted to say it was just a regular-season game and there was no need to be so dramatic, really no need.

But Lawson was a good guy, how could he possibly attack his colleague to his face, right?

He held back.

Instead, Lawson took a more objective and rational approach to the discussion, "You always said we should keep assessing, we should wait, there is no need to rush to conclusions, let time give the answer. So, does this mean that after this game, you're finally ready to draw a conclusion?"

The subtext was, if Li Wei continued to perform well, would this gentleman finally be willing to admit his misjudgment?

Lawson swore, he really was a good guy.

Bart was taken aback and glared at Lawson fiercely, backed into a corner.

But Bart understood that he had delayed and made excuses for too long; it was time that he could no longer postpone. From the opening game of the season, he had emphasized that the Kansas City Chiefs had not yet faced the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that Pittsburgh would strip them of their false guise of a strong team.

Pittsburgh Steelers, a traditional powerhouse in the NFL, currently hold the most Super Bowl Championships in history—and has continued to do so—

Since the millennium, the New England Patriots have claimed the championship five times, reigning supreme; whereas the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, and Baltimore Ravens each followed with two championships apiece.

Here, it is necessary to analyze the NFL league structure. Since the year 2000, for seventeen seasons, it has always been this way: the National Conference full of contenders, and the American League dominated by three powerhouses.

The most direct piece of data is that, of the past seventeen American League champions, the New England Patriots, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Pittsburgh Steelers have taken twelve of them; and if we add the data after Manning transferred from the Indianapolis Colts to the Denver Broncos, that number becomes fourteen.

The other three American League championships were won respectively by the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Oakland Raiders.

It is clear at a glance.

Among these, Brady alone with seven American League championships stands at the top, while Manning has reached the American League pinnacle four times. The fierce clashes between these two elite quarterbacks have become the NFL's most exciting rivalry since the new millennium.

As for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team reached the summit of the American League three times, in the 2005, 2008, and 2010 seasons, breaking into the Super Bowl finale.

Without a doubt, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still a traditional powerhouse in the league.

Moreover, they are a traditional defensive powerhouse.

Since the team's inception, the Pittsburgh Steelers have made a name for themselves in the league by relying on defense, earning the laudable nickname "Steel Curtain" with their tough and ferocious defensive style. The spirit of defense has been deeply imprinted in the team's soul; when it comes to discussing history's most dominant defensive groups, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens are always at the forefront.

Therefore, even though the team has twice summited the Super Bowl Champions in the new millennium, professionals still do not believe that it is the merit of quarterback Roethlisberger—

Defense is the soul of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers once again dominated the AFC North and entered the playoffs, engaging in fierce combat with the number two seed of the American League, the Kansas City Chiefs.

The final score, "18:16."

The visiting Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, pressing forward into the next round and once again plunging Reed's team into the curse of playoff defeats, becoming yet another nightmare looming over Kansas City during its economic slump.

Following the regular season opener against the New England Patriots and last week's matchup against the Houston Texans, the Kansas City Chiefs were once again about to face a team they have encountered in the playoffs over the past two seasons; this time, it was the Pittsburgh Steelers who eliminated them last season.

Once again at Arrowhead Stadium, and once again against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This was a tough battle and also a hard-fought one, and even just reading the information on paper one could feel the pressure bearing down.

This season, the Pittsburgh Steelers still performed admirably—

Apart from the regrettable overtime loss to the Chicago Bears in week three, the team started the season with four wins and one loss, hot on the heels of the American League's Kansas City Chiefs.

As of now, the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive group ranks eighth in the league, and the defensive group is third, marking a team that is competitive on both ends of the field.

Specifically, their pass defense is ranked third, and their rush defense is seventh.

In all aspects, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be the Kansas City Chiefs' first true test of the season. The defending champions New England Patriots were not fully in form at the start of the season and appeared to be slow to warm up, and the Houston Texans have seen a significant reduction in their defensive strength due to Watt's absence, so it's the Pittsburgh Steelers that present a real challenge.

Bart remains objective, sets aside any bias, and analyzes with a professional and rational attitude, and he also believes that the Pittsburgh Steelers can defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.

He believes it wholeheartedly, one hundred percent.

What if Li Wei changes the course of the game again?

No, no, there are no what-ifs.

Bart straightens his back, cuts off the wild thoughts in his mind, looks at Lawson and says firmly,

"Yes, we can reach a conclusion now."

"I think, how much the Kansas City Chiefs' performance holds water will become apparent in the next week."
