Rookie?
Even though everyone teasingly called Li Wei "rookie," Orakpo definitely wouldn't underestimate him, because looking down on Li Wei for any reason would be foolish.
Orakpo knew Li Wei's speed and also his agility and footwork. As an experienced linebacker, he understood that once he let Li Wei stride freely while he himself fell into passivity, it often meant the opportunity had already slipped away—
He had to strike first.
Just like now, before Li Wei could accelerate, Orakpo took the initiative with a feigned tackle, triggering Li Wei's conditioned reflex.
Then, waiting in advance at the spot where Li Wei would change direction.
A move up.
A dive.
Orakpo launched himself into the air, thoroughly breaking free from gravity, accurately and firmly wrapping his arms around Li Wei's waist.
Hold tight!
Clamp on firmly!
Caught him.
