Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 603

Chapter 603: 602 Professional Scapegoat Chapter 603: 602 Professional Scapegoat Zhu Zhu was all set to attack Li Wei and then swiftly walk away, giving no chance for a counterattack.

However, to his surprise, Li Wei didn’t even try to follow.

A careless remark had Zhu Zhu unable to keep his composure, his steps faltered, then he saw Li Wei casually passing by, even clenching his fist and displaying a smile, gesturing encouragement with his eyes:

“Keep it up, Meng Meng.”

The nightmare, once again awakened, from NCAA all the way to the NFL, it haunted him persistently.

Every single time, no matter how hard he tried or how outstanding his performance was, Li Wei seemed to effortlessly lead far ahead, even sparing the time to turn around and cheer him on.

That feeling—

Utterly terrible.

Zhu Zhu felt like his chest might just explode.

That number twenty-three figure became more distant in his view.

...

Zhu Zhu had been holding back, readying a powerful retort when his words rushed out like steam.

“I don’t need your blessings.”

Zhu Zhu: ???

As the words left his mouth, he was filled with question marks, was the slight shyness in his voice normal?

Nevertheless,

Li Wei had already left at his leisure.

Those Pittsburgh Steelers players really were too enthusiastic, in no way inferior to the home crowd at Arrowhead Stadium; but he did not have the time to respond now, because a pack of journalists, as fierce as wolves, was eagerly awaiting the post-game press conference.

Everything was as expected—

“Li Wei, how do you feel about today’s game...”

“...What are your thoughts on the victory?”

“How do you rate your own performance?”

“Were you surprised by the Pittsburgh Steelers’ performance?”

“Was this the expected outcome?”

“Rookie, rookie!

Over here!”

The sound of rapid shutter clicks and the onslaught of blinding silver flashes came pouring down the moment Li Wei entered the press hall, unable to contain their enthusiasm, instantly igniting the atmosphere.

The heat in the room was suffocating.

Li Wei had no opportunity to speak, so he simply gave up trying to interrupt and stood at the front with a smile, soaking in the baptism of flashes.

Were you trying to defend Bell in this way, warning the Pittsburgh Steelers that they made a wrong decision?”

Sharp, probing, and straightforward.

Meanwhile, all eyes were on the stage, without a doubt, this was the moment the entire league was watching.

However, Li Wei was not only unruffled but also greeted the question with a broad smile.

“Are you questioning my professional spirit in striving for victory for my team?”

With a deft change of subject, he easily led the reporters astray—

Of course, no one could question that.

“I believe there’s no other mode in my game but ‘rookie mode.’ I am still learning and growing, and I hope to keep improving.

Winning this game is the best affirmation I could have.”

“I believe the game speaks for itself.”

The reporters aimed high, but Li Wei let it fall gently.

The storm seemed to dissipate without a trace, and the press room was somewhat stunned, never imagining the ‘rookie mode’ could be wielded in such a way.

Yet, some reporters were still struggling.

“Then, what is your view on Bell expressing his dissatisfaction by missing the regular season games?

Do you support him?”

Aggressive and sharp, without disguise or detour, they brandished their questions, determined to not let up—

All eyes, honed keenly, were ready for the challenge.

One could already picture, if Li Wei showed any slip, the onslaught that would follow.

Li Wei, showing off a set of neat, white teeth with a smirk that was anything but warm, did not hide the irony in his smile.

“I hope to compete openly and honorably with top players of the league on the field, which is why we love this sport.”

“With the new season ahead, I’m aware of the increased challenges and am prepared to face them, hoping to improve by competing against various masters.”

“However, I respect individual choices.”

At first glance, one might interpret Li Wei’s remarks as supportive of Bell’s decision to sit out games; but upon closer consideration, Li Wei never mentioned Bell by name, much less expressed support for Bell’s holdout, making it difficult to misinterpret.

Then, pondering it more calmly, was Li Wei’s so-called respect for individual choices actually a dig at Tomlin’s decision?

Oh ho, things just got interesting.

Just like during the off-season, Li Wei effortlessly shifted the focus, with the ‘unfortunate’ Tomlin once again cast as the professional scapegoat—

Indeed, to wear the crown, one must bear its weight.

Tomlin truly is the Chosen One of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
