Chapter Eighty-Three: The Contest
In the blink of an eye, it was the day to make an appointment with Zhao Shusheng, the specific time was set at twelve o'clock at noon, and Li Yan went back to school in the morning.
Chen Zhijun scraped together a total of 130,000 yuan, of which 100,000 was Zhou Qiming's compensation to Lao Zhang.
After calling the casino to place bets, the four of them took a taxi to Zhao Caishen's underground boxing stadium, and Guo Tianhao, Liu Tianxiang and others had already arrived one step ahead of schedule.
"Brother Li, I have checked Zhao Shusheng's background. I used to practice sanda, and I have participated in some provincial competitions, and my strength is not bad. Guo Tianhao said in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, that guy used to be a professional sanda athlete, Li Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about comparing with Songchai?"
"If his strength has not improved significantly in recent years, it is definitely not as good as Songchai. Guo Tianhao shook his head and said.
This time Li Yan was more relieved, originally he had prepared a body protection talisman sent by Bai Wuchang, but now it seems. Even if he doesn't rely on this kind of cheating, he has a good chance of winning, after all, he has already obtained the true inheritance of General Li Dingguo's martial arts, and his physical fitness is not weak.
Last time, Li Yan participated in a boxing match. Guo Tianhao and the others were all worried, this time they were very calm in their hearts, even the masters of that level were not Li Yan's opponents, and Zhao Shusheng was not worth mentioning at all.
Because of the "outstanding" performance last time. Many fans have a lot of confidence in Li Yan, with nearly half betting on him to win.
If Li Yan wins, he will not only lose face, but also lose a lot of money, Guo Tianhao and Liu Tianxiang alone bet more than 200 million!
In a seat at the back of the ring, Zhao Qin has a small telescope hanging on his chest, which is convenient for watching the battle for a while.
Unexpectedly, a few days after Li Yan played a game, she made an appointment with another master, although she didn't like that kind of street gangster style of play, but she decided to take a look.
The housekeeper Zhao An and the owner of the Chaoyang Hotel, Zhao Yongxiang, accompanied by the side, the two are also masters who are not weak, especially Zhao An, who does not look good, only those who have fought with him know how terrifying this guy is.
This time, it was Li Yan who challenged Zhao Shusheng. Therefore, the rules are set by the other party.
Unlike the usual black boxing matches, this time the match is divided into three rounds of three minutes each, and if there is no winner in the three rounds, it is considered a draw, and the rules are similar to those of a common sanda match.
"Li Yan, that kid surnamed Zhao has been practicing sanda for many years, and the rules this time are extremely beneficial to him, you have to allocate your physical strength, don't fight too hard in the first game. ”
Liu Tianxiang has studied with many masters, including many sanda champions, who are very experienced and gave Li Yan pre-match counseling.
Li Yan is not afraid at all, and it is precisely because Zhao Shusheng has participated in many regular sanda competitions that he is more sure of winning.
Because there is still a big difference between sanda and actual combat, practicing sanda all year round is easy to be constrained by various rules in ideology. Even if you get on the black fist ring, you can't let go completely, and there is a kind of restraint invisibly.
This is also why, some athletes participate in many fighting competitions and win countless medals, but they can't beat a thief.
Zhao Shusheng must also be aware of his weakness, so he borrowed from the rules of the sanda match and made the conditions as favorable to him as possible.
With the crazy shouts of the audience, the game officially opened, and the first game began!
It was the first time for Lao Wang and the three of them to see Li Yan in the boxing ring, their fists clenched together, and their palms were slightly sweaty.
Last time, they beat up the two bodyguards of the Xia family together, Li Yan contributed the most, they knew that this guy had some experience in fighting, but they were still frightened.
At the beginning of the game, Zhao Shusheng habitually posed in a sanda posture, and Li Yan was in a standing posture of military boxing.
The layman watched the excitement, the insider looked at the doorway, as soon as Li Yan's movements came out, the attention of a few masters on the scene was focused on him.
"It's different from the last mess. This time there seems to be some doorway...; …;”
Zhao An squinted, after watching the last time Li Yan fought with Song Chai , he thought that Li Yan was just strong in fighting and didn't know how to attack, but now he has changed his mind a little.
Zhao Qin was born in a martial arts family, although his own strength is not very powerful, but his vision is quite vicious, it can be seen that Li Yan's standing posture is not casual, he can attack and retreat, and he can defend, which is very suitable for actual combat.
After a loud shout, Zhao Shusheng's momentum increased in an instant, and a high kick hit Li Yan's left side face.
This trick is similar to Song Chai back swing legs, both of which are in the game to take the lead, if the opponent does not pay attention, take this kick, the victory and defeat are basically divided.
Having practiced sanda for more than 15 years, Zhao Shusheng's strength, speed and flexibility of his legs and feet are exceptional, and he had the strength of a provincial champion many years ago, and now he is even better than ever.
Traditional martial arts emphasize that the leg does not reach the knee because the leg kick is too high. The greater the gap exposed, and in the face of Zhao Shusheng's high sweeping leg, Li Yan suddenly squatted, and his right leg swept violently.
This is a very common sweep in kung fu, simple and practical, and can be used to deal with enemies who are unstable.
Sure enough, only to hear a loud bang, Zhao Shusheng, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, fell heavily in the ring. The entire countertop was shaken.
Li Dingguo's military body boxing is composed of a variety of simple moves, including sweeping the hall leg, he taught not only the moves, but also the experience he accumulated in actual combat with people, so Li Yan can make the right response at the first time.
Affected by the impact of Western martial arts, many Chinese people have serious doubts about the practicality of traditional martial arts, and some people even release nonsense, saying that some traditional martial arts are deceitful.
The most unacceptable thing for the Chinese people is that some guys who claim to be martial arts masters compete with others and end in fiasco, which makes people even less confident in traditional kung fu.
However, many people don't think about it. If those traditional martial arts have no actual combat effect, why can they be passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years?
Many kung fu is the crystallization of the wisdom summarized by the ancestors in actual combat, compiled into a variety of routines, if the routines are separated, it is a separate move.
Modern people practice martial arts, mainly to practice routines, and have little actual combat experience, so they are really in the process of fighting with others. In a panic, it is difficult to see the move, and defeat is inevitable.
Li Yan got Li Dingguo's actual combat experience, and when the opponent was about to make a move, he could make an accurate prediction, so he could use the simple moves in the military body boxing to make the opponent suffer a big loss.
If it is a sanda match, one boxer falls to the ground, and the other party cannot continue to beat, but this is a black boxing arena, without those rules and regulations, Li Yan will not let go of this God-given opportunity.
As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, without waiting for Zhao Shusheng to get up from the ground, Li Yan kicked straight out and faced Zhao Shusheng at the door.
The latter was shocked, and hurriedly crossed his hands to block this kick, only to feel that his arms were slightly numb, which showed the great power of this kick.
There was such a hot scene in less than 30 seconds after the start, and the audience erupted into a landslide and tsunami-like shouts, especially the audience who bet on Li Yan to win, and couldn't help but stand up and cheer for him.
"This Li Yan's strength is still very good, but I don't know why he played like a street gangster in the last game, is it just to show his ability to resist beating?" Zhao An really couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Qin, the eldest lady sitting next to her, couldn't figure it out, Li Yan's style of play this time was well-founded and methodical, much stronger than the kind of random fight last time.
I never thought that my right-hand man would fall into passivity as soon as he started the game, Zhang Xiaofeng's heart suddenly lifted, and he secretly felt anxious.
If Zhao Shusheng can't even survive the first game, he, the boss, will also become a laughing stock.
Fortunately, Zhao Shusheng reacted quickly enough, and after blocking a kick, he hurriedly rolled to open the distance, trying to grapple with Li Yan with ground technology.
Renowned kung fu master Bruce Lee is known as the father of mixed martial arts and an idol of Zhao Shusheng, so he also has some knowledge of ground grappling techniques in mixed martial arts while practicing sanda.
Li Dingguo mainly taught striking and rarely involved ground grappling, and Li Yan wasn't sure if his opponent was good at kung fu like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so he didn't rush to pounce.
Zhao Shusheng knew a little bit about jiu-jitsu, he thought about pulling Li Yan to the ground and waiting for an opportunity to strangle him, but unfortunately Li Yan was not fooled, but adopted a steady and progressive style of play.
As a result, the two sides are at a stalemate.
