Dominate the Super Bowl

Li Wei turned his head and quietly looked at the cityscape outside the car window, with a bit of curiosity and inquiry, trying to find some features and personality in the uniform ordinary buildings, but still, he failed.

He had heard before that the central part of the North American continent was barren and ordinary without much difference, without distinctive planning, without distinctive architecture, and without distinctive life either, everything seemed quiet and mediocre—

This is also why people are so enthusiastic about competitive sports, after all, there are not many forms of entertainment.

Li Wei thought Tuscaloosa was ordinary enough, but he did not expect that Indianapolis before him was even more so, without any hint of color.

Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana.

Located in the midwest of the North American continent, it is a transportation hub connecting the east and west coasts and the major cities in the middle, with developed railways and highways, known as "The Crossroads of America". It is the fourth-largest state capital in the United States, undoubtedly one of the most prosperous first-tier cities in the Midwest.

However, the reality is different.

This is a typical midwestern city, where loyal Catholic followers hold an absolute advantage, conservative and stubborn, introverted and dull, lacking in drama, without amateur life or entertainment, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, vividly interpreting the simplicity and plainness of "big rural areas".

All the craze and fervor of Indianapolis were given to only one team:

NFL's Indianapolis Colts.

Since the Colts chose to settle in Indianapolis in 1984, they have won all the favor of this city; entering the new millennium, under the leadership of legendary quarterback Peyton Manning, they wrote their glory, advancing to the playoffs for eight consecutive years and finally reaching the top in the 2006 season to win the Super Bowl, thoroughly igniting the passion and blood that lie beneath the calm surface of Indianapolis.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Indianapolis Colts have become the soul and pride of this city. On every game day, the entire city is deserted, just like Tuscaloosa.

In 1987, the NFL made an important decision—the Rookie Training Camp, which had been changing venues every year, officially found its home in Indianapolis and became an important annual event that attracted nationwide attention.

This year was no exception.

The Rookie Training Camp started on February 15th at the Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts, lasting for a full four days.

After the end of the training camp, the thirty-two teams will draft their strategies based on the capabilities of the rookies and the needs of the teams, taking the first step in preparing for the new season at the draft held from April 27th to April 29th.

——Li Wei, was finally about to make his appearance.

After the nationwide championship ended, Li Wei went into secluded training, oblivious to the outside world. Amidst the noisy hustle and bustle of various training camps, as the new Heisman Trophy winner and MVP of the nationwide championship, Li Wei silently vanished from the public eye.

However, though he was out of sight, legends of him continued to circulate.

From mixed martial arts to football, having been exposed to football for just a mere year, he held up under pressure and perfectly filled the vacancy left by Derrick Henry; a marvelous turnaround in the nationwide championship, the first Asian Heisman Trophy winner... All these topics, all of them, were filled with a sense of wonder, and now, the more mysterious, the more curious and lively it got.

The attention just couldn't stop!

Even teams with no interest in running backs started picking up Li Wei's game videos and scouting reports again because, after all, anything could happen at the draft, and nobody should miss this year's strongest running back—

Or even... the strongest player?

Right up to now.

Li Wei finally concluded his seclusion and arrived in Indianapolis, ready to take the stage. Countless gazes turned instantly towards Lucas Oil Stadium as players gathered, and the already highly anticipated Rookie Training Camp's popularity soared to new heights, with throngs of people flooding into the city.

After a full month, Li Wei didn't seem any more muscular, in fact, he looked even leaner, but in reality, professionals could tell that Li Wei's muscles were more toned, and his physique had more defined lines. The training during this time had made him all the more sharp and understated.

It seemed that Li Wei had been working on increasing his resistance and explosive power, hadn't he?

Slowly, he reduced his speed and arrived at the hotel, where a long line of vehicles waiting to park stretched before him. The valets were too busy to cope, so Li Wei simply left the line and headed towards the parking lot opposite the hotel. A quick glance was all it took for him to spot an open parking space.

Screech!

With a brake, Li Wei observed the car in front of him, blocking the way forward, as it had entered the parking space but was not positioned correctly and was trying to park again, thus blocking Li Wei's path.

The driver of the other vehicle, a young man with a fluffy explosive haircut, showed an embarrassed smile through the car window, waving apologetically at Li Wei; Li Wei wasn't in a hurry, and he responded with a smile.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, to his surprise, the driver with the explosive haircut was completely flustered. A simple reverse parking maneuver proved impossible to line up with the parking space lines. The more he struggled, the more nervous he became, and the more nervous he got, the less able he was to succeed, falling into a vicious cycle.

In no time, he had tried five times and was still stuck in the same spot, repeating his efforts.

From a distance, Li Wei could see the sweat on the forehead of the man with the explosive haircut, his cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish, every cell in his body trembling with anxiety. Noticing Li Wei's gaze, he looked up with an awkward smile but lowered his head to reveal a panicked expression, as if he were about to burst into tears.

In fact, it wasn't fair to blame the man with the explosive haircut.

Being nervous was one thing, but having a Ferrari on one side and a Porsche on the other of the parking spot didn't help either.

Even though they were all rookies preparing for the draft, no one knew what their draft prospects were. At this point, they were just college students with empty pockets, and it was natural to be cautious around such luxurious sports cars; not only did they have to worry about scratches or dings, but they also had to consider whether the car belonged to a team executive, which could affect their draft prospects—a true disaster.

This explosive-haired guy was clearly a simple and naive good kid.

Li Wei rolled down the window and leaned out to ask.

"Need a hand?"

The man with the explosive haircut lit up with surprise, immediately opening his door as if ready to get out.

Li Wei was startled and quickly gestured for him to apply the handbrake to avoid an unnecessary tragedy. He then got out of his car to help and parked the vehicle in a few swift moves before returning to his own seat and quickly finding a spot for his car as well.

Stepping out of his car, Li Wei could see the explosive-haired guy standing nearby, looking obedient, which brought a smile to Li Wei's face.

"What's this, planning to treat me to dinner?"

It was just a joke, but surprisingly, the explosive-haired man nodded earnestly, "Dinner, no problem. I've heard the chicken breast here is really good."

A smile appeared in Li Wei's eyes, "Traveling all the way to Indianapolis just to eat chicken breast? That's a choice."

The explosive-haired man chuckled sheepishly, quite frankly, "Well, I am preparing to become a professional player, after all. You're here for the training camp, too, right? So am I. Patrick Mahomes."
