Chapter 187: Clearing, Speed and Power
September 7, UFC New York Training Center.
It is a five-story building with large and small training rooms, an indoor pool, and a lounge......
In the hall on the first floor, thirty-seven players have gathered here, each standing in one place, not talking, surrounded by cameras.
Wu Li was in a place near the corner, talking to the camera.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to the sixth episode of Xunwu, which will broadcast the whole process of my participation in the UFC audition. ”
"There are 37 fighters here, including me, and we're going to be training and competing here for the next two weeks, and the best performers will be eligible to sign with the UFC. ”
Wu Li released the news of participating in the TUF Ultimate Fight two days in advance, and there were already 130,000 people in the live broadcast room at this time.
"Why do you want to participate in the audition, with your strength is not enough to sign directly with the UFC?"
"That is, are the UFC people blind, and let Wu Li participate in any tryouts. ”
"No way, Wu Li hasn't played too many fights after all, and he has only won one local championship, and the UFC will definitely not be able to sign him directly. ”
"I think it's good, you have to hit it step by step like this, so that you can plug the mouths of some trolls!"
"I just want to know what the rules are for this tryout?"
......
There are many people who know the UFC, but there are very few people who know the TUF, just like people who like basketball will watch the NBA, but few people will pay attention to the development league under the NBA.
TUF as a UFC tryout, the attention is relatively low, this time the UFC let Wu Li start from TUF, on the one hand, because of his record, on the other hand, he also wants to take this opportunity to improve the reputation of TUF.
Wu Li chatted with the netizens in the live broadcast room, and after a while, someone walked down the stairs above with a microphone.
"Hello everyone, welcome all here, my name is Danny. ”
The other stood on the top of several steps, looking at the people below.
The other party spoke English, and at Wu Li's level, he could only understand a rough idea, but fortunately, the Xunwu program team prepared a translator for him in advance, and at this time he was translating in his ear at the same time.
"For the next two weeks, you're going to be training and competing here, and at the end of the day, the best performers will get a chance to sign with the UFC. Danny said.
"Of course, as is customary at the TUF, you will be divided into groups and trained by two instructors. ”
Hearing this, the crowd that had been quiet before suddenly became commotion.
In order to increase the ratings and highlights, the UFC will invite two very famous UFC fighters to be mentors, and the previous TUF tryouts have even invited the current champions.
For those of you who dream of breaking into the UFC, those UFC fighters who have already become famous are undoubtedly their targets or idols, so almost everyone is excited to hear Danny say this.
Well, except for Wu Li......
He doesn't really watch UFC fights, so he doesn't know much about the UFC legends.
"I wonder who will be invited in this issue?"
"The last issue seems to be the earl and the red hair. ”
"Will you invite a champion this time?"
"I hope the spiders will come!"
......
In Wu Li's live broadcast room, some people who usually follow UFC fights began to discuss excitedly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before you can meet the two mentors of this issue, you still need to pass a little test. Danny said with a smile on his face.
As his voice fell, a staff member at the scene pushed an instrument out and pushed it to the side of the stairs.
It is a one-meter-seven-five, one-meter-wide, rectangle-like instrument that looks like a rectangular steel plate, with 12 circular targets evenly distributed on it, and two displays on the far right.
"Would anyone like to give me a demonstration?" Danny asked as he walked down the stairs.
After a moment's hesitation, a white contestant stepped forward, he was about 1.8 meters tall and had tattoos from his neck to his arms.
"Very well, what's your name?" Danny said, handing the microphone to the other's lips.
"Gusta, from Sweden. The other party said.
"Gusta, I'll show you how to use this device. Danny led the other party to the instrument and pointed to the target above, "There are 12 targets on it, and there is an indicator light above each target, do you see that?"
Gusta nodded.
"Whenever the upper indicator light is on, you have to hit the target in the corresponding position quickly, you will score points for each hit, and you will be deducted points for the wrong shot, and it should be noted that the upper six targets can only be hit with boxing, and the bottom six targets can only be hit with your feet. ”
"The number of times you hit the target correctly is converted into a score, which is your speed score, and every impact you make on the target is also converted into a score, which is your strength score, and the higher the score, the better, so you need to be accurate, fast, and powerful to complete every blow, I understand?"
Danny asked, looking at Gusta, who nodded.
"OK, if you're ready, I'll call it off. Danny said, stepping aside.
Gusta raised his arms, stood a step or so away from the instrument, and nodded, "I'm ready." ”
"Let's go!"
As the words fell, the instrument in front of Gusta and the indicator light in the middle of the first row lit up.
Bang! Gusta hit the corresponding target with a straight punch, and the sound could be heard that the force was very heavy, and on the two displays on the far right, the upper display showed a number '1', and the bottom was the number '1.2'.
The rest of the people can probably guess when they see this, the number above represents the number of hits, and the number below represents the power of the hit.
Bang! Bang!
Three more punches, and Gusta hit three targets with precision as the indicator light changed.
The number at the top of the display has become 4, and the number below has become 4.5.
"It doesn't seem that difficult. ”
The thought had just risen in the minds of many when two lights suddenly lit up on the instrument in front of Gusta.
Bang!
Gusta didn't hesitate and hit the target with both fists one after the other, but this time the power score was only 1.
In the next second, three lights came on at the same time, and one of the lights was still in the fourth row below, and he had to hit the target with his feet.
Gusta threw two quick punches, the final of which hit the target in the fourth row.
This time he got a lower power score, with only 0.9 on all three occasions.
The next step is getting more and more difficult, and the speed of the lights is getting faster and faster, and there will be three, four, and even five lights at the same time!
Gusta misses more and more targets, and rarely has more than 1 power score after hitting the target.
As time went on, Gusta's punches began to slow down and he missed more targets.
A minute later, a bell rang.
"Okay, it's time!" Danny suddenly shouted.
As his words fell, Gusta stopped his movements, gasping slightly, and he looked at the monitor next to him.
I saw that the number on the upper display was 58, and the number below was 40.6.
"Gusta, your total score on the test this time is 98.6 points, and the minimum score you need to pass the test and go upstairs to meet your instructor is 120 points. Danny said with a smile as he took the microphone.
Gusta's face turned red, he didn't expect that he was so far from the minimum requirement.
"Can I try again?" he asked quickly.
"Of course. Danny smiled, "You don't count this test, but each of you only has three chances, and if you don't pass the test, then I'm sorry, you'll be eliminated and won't be able to train and compete." ”
There was an uproar at the scene, no one expected that they would face elimination on the first day they came?
"Wow, this TUF ultimate fight is interesting, I've never played like this before!"
"This thing looks a bit difficult, with speed, strength and accuracy. ”
"It's fun, I want to know what score Wu Li can score?"
"If only one or two people pass in the end, can the show be announced to be over on the first day?"
"Haha, it shouldn't be possible, right? ”
......
Wu Li's live broadcast room was hotly discussed, and the contestants on the scene also began to move their bodies.
"Everyone volunteered to take on the challenge. Danny said.
"I'm coming!"
One of the contestants took the initiative to start the challenge.
After a minute, the opponent's speed score was 70, the strength score was 38.5, and the total score was 108.5, and he still didn't pass.
And then the next one.
Instead of rushing to throw punches, the fighter threw enough punch and kick with all his power.
The opponent tried to win with a power score by throwing heavy punches, but the final speed score was 43, the power score was 64.5, and the total score was 107.5 points, but he still couldn't pass.
In the process just now, everyone can see that the maximum power score can only be 1.5 each time, and no matter how hard the person who hits, it seems that it cannot exceed 1.5.
In other words, on the basis of punch weight, you still have to ensure the speed of punching.
Don't look at some people who can punch hundreds of times a minute, that is no goal, casual punching, and now this instrument requires accurate hits, including kicks, and each indicator light will only be on for two seconds, and it will go out after two seconds, which is undoubtedly very difficult.
Just after seven more failures in a row, a young man with dyed orange hair walked up, he was about 1.75 meters tall, his figure did not look strong, and even gave people a little thin.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and it seemed that many people knew this young man.
Taketen Ozawa, the player highlighted in the pre-tournament promotional video of TUF this time, so many people recognized him.
"It's Taketen Ozawa. ”
"Who?"
"The island country is known as a martial arts genius that is met once in 500 years. ”
"Haha, island countries have always been like this, they meet once in a few hundred years at every turn, and there are some beauties that happen once in two thousand years. ”
"But this Ozawa Taketen is indeed strong, he is the youngest world champion in the island nation's K1 competition, and he also crossed two weight classes, defeated a heavyweight champion, and is the most popular fighter in the island nation at the moment. ”
Some netizens in the live broadcast room also knew about Ozawa Taketen and took the opportunity to popularize science for the rest.
On the other side, Taketen Ozawa stood in front of the instrument and began to challenge.
