Montana is the largest agricultural and livestock base in the United States, and the herders who grow here are like men on the Mongolian steppe, born with brave and aggressive blood.

The Billings leg of the National Pro Bull Riding Championship is the final and most high-profile stop of this year's tour, with 14 professional riders from all over the world competing against the soon-to-be-selected prize qualifying riders.

These include Brazil's Ronaldi and last year's PBR champion Johnson.

The nation's and the world's largest media gathered at the Billings Crown Football Stadium, a venue that can accommodate 100,000 people.

Liu Wei and O'Neill ended their trip to the prairie early and reached Billings late at night.

O'Neill is very optimistic about Liu Wei, and after a week of getting along, in his eyes, Liu Wei subduing a North African bull is as easy as eating.

"Hey, my brother, I've already found someone to do it for you, I'll take you to see the venue tomorrow, you don't have to do anything in the past two days, have a good rest, I want to see you in Los Angeles!" O'Neill sat next to Liu Wei, patted Liu Wei on the shoulder and said.

Liu Wei said modestly: "I am very satisfied to be able to enter the main competition, Los Angeles may be a little difficult!"

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and began to watch the game video and some game materials.

The rules of bull riding are not complicated, and the rider is subdued as long as he can stay on the back of a North African bull for eight seconds.

The judge's scoring criteria will be based on the player's posture, the bison's flying height, etc., which is a visual impact in layman's terms.

If the player cannot subdue the bull, that is, he does not stay on the back of the bull for more than eight seconds, it cannot be considered a uniform, and the final score of the player is only the score given to the bull by the referee, and the player himself does not score.

The rules of the bonus qualifying competition that Liu Wei signed up for are calculated by the second, 400 US dollars per second, and each player has two rounds of participation opportunities, and the cumulative prize money reaches 2,500 US dollars after two rounds, and he has qualified for the main competition.

To put it simply, the two-round contestant must hold on to the bull's back for at least seven seconds.

This rule is already very relaxed, after all, it is an amateur athlete, and many amateur riders do not have more than seven seconds in the two rounds of bonus qualifying.

Some start with the timing, and the bull falls to the ground in less than a second after it is slaughtered.

This is very common.

The North African bull used in the bull riding competition is known as the "king of the plains" and can take out the lion herd.

In terms of size and strength, it is one of the best in the bovid family, and it is firmly in the hegemony of bison.

Of course, the North African bulls used in bull riding competitions are not pure North African bison, but bulls that have been raised on a free-range basis.

The cattle used in Spanish bullfighting shows are also North African bison that were raised in the free-range.

Although it is free-range, in its eyes, people are almost the same as ants, and if they are provoked, they will still be trampled to death.

After watching the video, Liu Wei closed his eyes and lay on the bed, with a simple calculation in his mind, if the first round of the game can last seven seconds on the back of the cow, he can advance and do not have to participate in the second round.

Because it is a round of promotion, the entire ranking will also be high, saving a lot of energy, and maybe there is a real chance to rush to the final in Los Angeles.

Smiled slightly and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Wei turned on the live broadcast, full of energy, "Brothers, today I will take you to see the game venue, Billings Crown Football Stadium!"

"You mean you decided to participate?"

"Nonsense, can Ah Wei not participate?"

"Don't talk about bull riding, if the Colosseum is still open, Ah Wei will definitely go to kill lions and tigers!"

"It's terrible to be uneducated, the Colosseum used slaves to entertain the royal family, not a game at all!"

"Yes, yes, you are right in everything you say, you are the most cultured!"

The hotel's commercial car drove Liu Wei and O'Neill to the entrance of the arena.

The people O'Neill contacted were waiting for them in the VIP channel.

"Hey, man, is it done?" O'Neill asked with a smile as he high-fived a sturdy black man.

The black man looked back at Liu Wei, "shark, is he the one participating in the competition?"

O'Neill nodded.

The black man pouted and shook his head, and said to O'Neill, "That's too thin! I hope he won't be trampled to death by a bull!"

He turned back to Liu Wei and said, "Good luck, friend!"

Liu Wei smiled and nodded.

Approaching the VIP channel, he received the number plate in the organizing committee studio, and Liu Wei was the last contestant.

The black man said to O'Neill: "Shark, you guys are too late to register, the organizing committee has stopped registering, and I took a lot of connections to get this spot!"

O'Neill patted him on the arm and said, "Thanks, brother, I have time to go to Los Angeles and take you on a horseback ride!"

"Of course I want to go, I like it!" The black man laughed cheaply.

"Wow!shark, why are you here?" another black man came up to greet him.

O'Neill smiled, "I'm bringing my rider to tomorrow's race!"

"Your rider?" the black man wondered.

"Liu!come!", O'Neill waved at Liu Wei, Liu Wei walked up, O'Neill's thick arm on his shoulder, and introduced, "Liu Wei, my brother, I am now his economist, and he signed up for tomorrow's bonus qualifying!"

"Shark, you're still so humorous!" The black man glanced at Liu Wei, his intuitive feeling was the same as the previous black man, Liu Wei was too thin and small, and his figure was not up to the standard of a professional rider.

O'Neill understood the meaning of his words, did not immediately refute, and introduced to Liu Wei, "Liu, he is the champion of the Atlanta Finals of the National Professional Bull Riding Competition last year, Johnson!"

"Hello!" Liu Wei stretched out his hand and said.

"Hello, Liu, I hope you can get good grades!" Johnson looked at O'Neill's face and said politely to Liu Wei.

"Will you race in Billings?" O'Neal asked Johnson.

"Of course!", Johnson nodded, "My hometown is in Montana, I'm bringing my cousin Wade over today to see the venue, and he'll be playing tomorrow's bonus qualifying!"

"Wade, let's see who this is!" Johnson beckoned to the crowd.

Wade's height is almost the same as Liu Wei, but his arms and thighs are obviously much wider, giving people a visual experience of a macho man.

"Shark, I like you so much!" Wade stroked his muscles, "I'm just like you, I like power!"

"Come on, Wade!" O'Neill and Wade rub their fists.

"Liu, Wade, you will be opponents tomorrow!" O'Neill laughed.

Wade glanced at Liu Wei, "I will get a place in the main tournament in the first round, and I have only one opponent in this competition, and that is my cousin Johnson!"

Liu Wei smiled: "It seems that you are very well prepared, I am a temporary participant, the result is not important, I want to experience that feeling!"

Wade shook his head seriously and said: "You'd better not have such thoughts, it may kill you, if you are afraid, you can directly abstain tomorrow!"

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Are you worried that I will steal your limelight?"

Wade smiled: "I'm thinking about your life!"

"Thank you for your concern!"

Liu Wei did not continue to argue with Wade, he was as arrogant as his cousin.

His cousin didn't take the players in the main competition in his eyes, he didn't take the players in the prize qualifying tournament in his eyes, and responded to the old Chinese saying: "If you don't have a family, you don't enter a family!"

But professional athletes need that kind of arrogance.

After Johnson and Wade left, O'Neill lowered his head and smiled at Liu Wei, "Liu, they are so confident in riding bulls!"
