Chapter 183: Wild Card Final
『Chapter error, click here to report』
The Wild Card Finals are held in Kansas City, Missouri, in the central United States, thousands of kilometers from Michigan, home of the Wolverine, and California, home of the Cardinals.
Because the location of the competition was decided before the start of the semi-finals, it was contingent and fair, so it didn't matter which team made it to the finals. There can be no objections.
In this way, on the contrary, both sides have no home field advantage and return to the same running line.
Speaking of the Kansas Emirates, it is also one of the league's old powerhouses, formerly known as the Dallas Texans. Hant was founded in 1960 as part of the American Football League (AFL).
In 1963, at the time of Kansas City's mayor, H. Rowe? Bartow pledged to have better ticket revenues under the relocation to Kansas City and the name of the Chiefs.
Following the merger of the American Football League-National Football League, the Emirates joined the National Football League (NFL).
This season, it is also one of the playoff teams, and its strength should not be underestimated. After the end of the league playoffs. It's been a long time since fans here have had a big event, so tickets for the wildcard game sold out early.
Thanks to just the right timing and location. made an inconspicuous wild card game even enter the public eye. It is also because of the recommendation of the well-known magazine "American Soccer", intentionally or unintentionally, that it has attracted much more attention than other games.
In this game, several well-known personalities were invited as live commentators, including the Chicago Bears' Hall of Fame star and lineback Singer Tree.
As a Chicago Bears star player, Singletree was the core of the Bears' defensive team at the time, helping the team win the 20th Super Bowl and was one of the most devastating and dominant linebacks in NFL history.
After retiring from football, his passion for football led him to the Vikings and 49ers as lineback coach. It's just that it turns out that this beast is not suitable for these jobs. During his tenure as the team's coach, he was fired one after another due to his poor record.
However, these twists and turns did not affect him, and although he is over 50 years old, he is still active in various rugby activities, including acting as a commentator.
Sitting next to him is the current Houston Texan's leading star, a league superstar who is passionate about public welfare and committed to rugby promotion, J.K. Watt.
Despite the fact that in the last two seasons, due to serious injuries, the league's super tough guy has not had great results on the field. But in other aspects such as social welfare, he still shows a high level of personal charisma, and has some high visibility and reputation in the league.
For this game, he was very interested in the Wolverine's quarterbacks from the East after seeing an interview with American Football magazine, so he took the initiative to ask to participate in the live commentary of the game.
With the acceleration of global information transmission and the increase of network mobile phone broadcasting channels, it is an indisputable fact that FL's popularity continues to increase in the world.
In order to further open up the Chinese market, superstars such as Tom of the Patriots and Manning of the Broncos have traveled to China to carry out promotional activities.
As one of the promotion ambassadors, JK Watt naturally hopes to further promote the development of this sport in China through his own actions.
In addition to Singer Tri and JK Watt, there is a third person in the live broadcast room, and this person is the professional commentator Morich.
In the last game, Moric partnered with young commentator Danny Young to give the fans a great game.
He has his own read-a-side insights into the players of both teams and analysis of the game situation, and as a first-class commentator and experience streaming wild card games, he was the obvious choice.
"I didn't expect to invite two heavyweight guests to this match. Both of you are very welcome. ”
At the beginning of the live TV broadcast, Moric took the lead in opening the prelude to the commentary, and as he said, he was indeed very surprised by the arrival of these two people. According to the previous configuration, it is already remarkable to be able to invite an old star like Singerry.
After all, the Wild Card Finals aren't a well-known battle of the spotlight, and in the last decade of the tournament, only two teams have made it past the second round to reach the Final Four by making it to the National Championship through the Wild Card Tournament. And neither team made it to the finals in the end.
Judging from the value and gold content of the competition alone, this game can't even compare to any contest in the national championship.
When he first got the invitation to commentate, he didn't particularly want to take on the job. If it weren't for the search for a better set of diving equipment, he would probably be sitting in his living room right now, leisurely enjoying a good summer night.
But now it seems that his explanation is the right one. With celebrities like Singer Tree and J.K. Watt on the same stage, his salary for the next commentary can be increased by at least 1/3.
"In this game, the main quarterback of the Wolverines is a first-year Chinese student, which I think is a very rare and precious thing. No Chinese have come to this place in past history. His appearance may trigger a new change. Jk Watt said with a smile.
For the quarterback position, whether it is the league or the university, there is often more white and less black, especially in the league, this phenomenon is more obvious.
Blacks have explosives, have bodies, while whites have absolute power, social status, money, power, accumulation, inheritance, as the core of American competitive sports, behind the football culture is a century-old culture and hundreds of billions of economic chains.
So for decades, the quarterback, the core of the core, has always been in the hands of whites, and this subconscious has kept many black quarterbacks out of the wall and caused many people around the world to misunderstand the sport.
With the passage of time, there are now more and more black quarterbacks, such as Wilson, Griffin III, Newton, etc., who are active in the football field, and some of them have even won the Super Net championship.
Therefore, JK Watt felt that there was a need for an opportune moment to announce to the world that football stadiums could welcome the world's capable people just like the NBA.
Looking at JK Watt's expectant look, Moric couldn't help but frown. It's not that he doesn't understand Watt's thoughts, it's just that the truth doesn't necessarily turn out to be what he wants.
