Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 314 - 313 throwing a sprat to catch a herring
Actually, the regular season MVP discussion frenzy centered around Li Wei had nothing to do with Kamara; the reporters didn’t even notice him.
But when Kamara spoke up, the media suddenly became lively—
"Li Wei VS Kamara."
This year’s rookies were all lackluster, and Li Wei stood out so much that the media had been feeling empty and lonely for a long time.
The most absurd and amusing part was that many outsiders, when mentioning Li Wei, assumed he was the top pick, constantly talking about how a top pick should be, only to be shocked when they learned Li Wei was actually the third pick:
"What’s the deal with the team that had the top pick?"
Cleveland Browns: Do not disturb, already dead.
Although Kamara performed excellently, he and Li Wei belonged to different leagues, and one being a third-round pick and the other a top scholar, there wasn’t much to compare. Furthermore, Li Wei seemed to have risen to a whole new level beyond that of a rookie, so the media stopped fueling the fire.
But who would have thought, Kamara showed up uninvited?
Immediately, the media became excited—
Finally!
A challenger among the rookies appeared, boldly confronting Li Wei, and a running back just like him; things suddenly got interesting.

At least in the Rookie of the Year awards, Kamara was indeed Li Wei’s direct competitor.
The moment it happened, reporters surrounded the Kansas City Chiefs Training Facility three layers deep; Kelsey and others saw this scene and were no longer surprised. This season had become a routine part of their lives, they even joked with Li Wei.
"Rookie, someone is looking for you."

When Li Wei appeared, he was greeted by a barrage of flashes.
However, when a reporter threw out a question, Li Wei still looked genuinely sincere.
"Who?"
It wasn’t meant to target anyone, but who was that guy?
The reporters had to rack their brains and pull out the little incident between Li Wei and Kamara at the Rookie Training Camp to finally jog Li Wei’s memory.
"Oh, oh, the one who face-planted during the catch, right?"
Kamara: You’re the one who did a face-plant, your whole family did a face-plant!
Li Wei remained genuinely sincere.
"Of course, I also hope to follow in his footsteps, running six hundred yards plus receiving six hundred yards, which indeed isn’t an easy feat."
"Wait, that adds up to only twelve hundred yards?"
"Oh, then no problem."
"He should be able to learn a lot following behind Ingram. Keep it up!"
When the reporter relayed the words to Kamara, his face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists so hard that his arms trembled slightly, but in the end, Kamara regained his sanity.
He could continue to trash talk, or he could prove himself through his actions.
"I hope he keeps winning, and I look forward to us meeting on the field to see who is better, and then, let the best man win."
Wow.
The media became excited again—
Kansas City Chieftain in the American League, New Orleans Saints in the National Conference.
According to this season’s schedule, the only chance for the two teams to meet would be at the Super Bowl.
So, not only did Kamara set his sights on the Super Bowl, but he also directly challenged the Kansas City Chieftain, "The only one who can beat you is me."
It sure stirred things up.
The New Orleans Saints were indeed one of the most competitive teams this season, and although they started off with two losses, the team then went on an eight-game winning streak. The rookies selected in this year’s draft performed exceptionally, proving the success of the team’s management. Brees, one of the elite four quarterbacks, made a powerful push for his second Super Bowl in his career.
In a clash of titans, they lost to the Los Angeles Rams, ending their winning streak but bounced back impressively by defeating the Carolina Panthers and got back on track. They now stood at nine wins and three losses, just behind the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings with ten wins and two losses, temporarily ranking as the third seed in the National Conference.
Kamara wasn’t speaking recklessly, the New Orleans Saints were indeed serious contenders for the Super Bowl, but the focus was on Kamara picking out Li Wei, and furthermore, as running backs, discussing the Super Bowl with such confidence, which sounded quite amusing like the children were running the show.
Then—
Kamara didn’t realize that he had inadvertently become the "brick" that started the jade hunt!
As a third-round pick, Kamara might not carry much weight, but that didn’t matter, the league is never short of topic-worthy personalities with both substance and popularity.
Foxborough.
Brady watched as the bustling crowd of reporters desperately pushed their microphones towards his mouth, all eagerly focusing on one protagonist:
Li Wei.
At this critical stage of the playoff race, journalists had traveled through mountains and snow to Foxborough just for Li Wei?
Brady chuckled.
MVP?
What credentials did this kid have in his career, and to compare him to Brady’s career, it was utterly ridiculous. Despite losing the season opener, Brady did start to take the rookie seriously; but that didn’t mean much.
Because it was so ridiculous, he burst out laughing.
However, the battle-hardened Brady didn’t lose his composure easily and showed his characteristic charming smile, his teeth gleamed against the snow’s reflection.
"I look forward to our next encounter," he said.
"I know these young guys all want to beat me. I’m like a moving target, he’s not the first, nor will he be the last, but I’m ready for any challenge."
"I’m more motivated now than in any past season. I’m right here, won’t go anywhere, and won’t be easily defeated."
Strong, confident, and composed, Brady once again displayed the demeanor of a champion.
Most importantly, Brady subtly put down Li Wei—
Many youngsters like Li Wei come and go, each season brings its new sensations, just like carps crossing the river, yet Brady remains standing.
The subtext was, you Li Wei are just one of the countless ordinary players, while I, Tom Brady, am one in a million.
In that instant, the atmosphere became charged.
Philadelphia.
Wentz was also surrounded by reporters, three layers inside and out, and this sophomore was still slightly unused to such attention.
In the MVP race, Brady represented the league’s top players, while Wentz was the face of the new generation.
Wentz and Goff, carrying the sheer weight of expectations, both flourished this season after a long and challenging rookie season.
Both sophomores entered the regular-season MVP discussion.
But why didn’t the media go to Los Angeles to corner Goff but instead intercepted Wentz densely in Philadelphia?
The reason was simple:
The topic.
At the beginning of the season, the Kansas Chieftains defeated both the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, starting the season in a dominantly strong manner; now, with Li Wei joining Brady and Wentz in the race for the regular season MVP, the media naturally couldn’t miss such a focus.
Thus, Wentz, looking at the seas of cameras surrounding him, couldn’t help but scratch his head.
