Text Chapter 25 Taozi
Recalling the childhood bamboo horse and green plum, the two little guesses follow each other day and night, time passes and never returns, and the past can only be recalled.
Here are a few lines from an old song "The Past Can Only Be Recalled". I don't know if it's because of the anxiety caused by the approaching wedding date, but I always think of the beauty of my youth. From time to time, I would dream of Lao Gen and Taozi in my dreams, and I dreamed that we went to the pond at the mouth of the alley to catch lobsters together in the hot summer, and there were so many crayfish in the pond that we couldn't catch them all.
When I wake up at night, I even eat and laugh when I think about the situation in my dream. However, the small pond has long been filled in and high-rise buildings have been built, and time will never return, and the past can only be recalled.
When Lu Bingtao called, I was dreaming of taking a bath and fighting in the pond with him. I looked at the time, and it was half past eleven in the evening. Leaning hard, I picked up the phone angrily.
"Is Yoo Yuxi next to you? Didn't bother you? Lu Bingtao laughed a few times, "Don't blame me if you bother, you will have more opportunities in the future, and your bullets will have to be spared." It is said that a man will only have 6,000 rounds in his life, and he will stop eating early after fighting. ”
"Get out!" I really don't need to be polite to Lu Bingtao, "Call me if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what do you want." I was woken up by you in a daze, do you have a sense of public morality?"
"I miss you. Lu Bingtao didn't care about my anger, "I'm going to get married soon, you haven't lived together yet, you can't do this! Otherwise, I'll teach you a few tricks?"
"Amuse me, don't you, uncle! I'm hanging?!" I raised my phone.
"Oh, don't. Didn't I just finish training and couldn't sleep? Lu Bingtao's voice was full of exuberant energy.
"I'm just done training at this point, how can I train you as animals?" I sat up, rubbing my sleepy eyes.
"Who's to say it isn't. Just transferred a coach, it's really not human. I used to think that the old man was cruel enough, but compared to this grandfather, the old man is like a living bodhisattva. ”
"People like you have to be trained!" I deliberately gloated a few times, "There is a saying that 'the wicked have their own wicked grinding', and you deserve it! Tomorrow I will go and set up an immortal archway for your coach, and bless him with good health and a long life, so that he can take care of you kid." ”
"The stronger he trains me, the more you will come back and you will not be my match. Aren't you afraid?" Lu Bingtao laughed dryly.
"I'm afraid you're too watery to motivate me. "I'm going to say a word too. To tell the truth, after the systematic and scientific training of the professional team, Lu Bingtao must have made great progress. I don't know if I'll be able to win against the new "Sanda King" now that we've played two tricks.
"The ignorant are fearless!" Lu Bingtao cleared his throat, "When I was training in Thailand some time ago, I brought you a pair of gloves back, and it is estimated that you will receive them in these two days." ”
A good pair of gloves is really a good gift for me, just about to thank a few words, Lu Bingtao added: "It cost me a lot of money, and I deducted it from my money when I turned around!"
provoked me to scold again. Lu Bingtao just smiled silly, and fought back from time to time, as if he enjoyed this feeling.
After the laughter, Lu Bingtao said that tomorrow the sports channel will broadcast a match between him and a Russian player, and if I am not afraid of being hit, I can pay attention to it. Also, the gloves are really good, and I can look forward to it.
Lu Bingtao's self-confidence, or arrogance to be precise, I am used to it. I thought that I could be more restrained when I entered the national team, but I didn't expect the problem to be the same, so I really worried about him.
After hanging up the phone, I couldn't sleep for a while. For a while, I imagined how Lu Bingtao was training hard now, and I thought of how we trained to play sandbags when we were children. We didn't have the money to buy gloves at that time. In order to prevent the skin on his hands from scratching and tearing the sandbags, he wore cotton gloves in winter. But where can ordinary cotton gloves withstand our tossing, they will fall apart in a few days. We are distressed and helpless. At that time, who would have thought that I would be able to wear the gloves I brought back from a foreign country in the future.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep again.
Taozi's game was scheduled for CCTV's prime time at half past eight in the evening. The name of the competition is "Sino-Russian Boxing Championship", a name for the bad street. But it does not affect the enthusiasm of the audience. That night, the stadium, which can accommodate 20,000 people, was full.
The Chinese Kung Fu Battle Fighting Nation has become the main gimmick of the organizers. Chinese people also like this kind of gimmick, and like to watch (dividing line) Chinese kung fu sweep the world and become famous all over the world. This kind of patriotic mentality is completely understandable and worthy of recognition. The historical background of China's humiliation has created this mentality among the Chinese people. However, to be honest, compared with other countries in the world, China's martial arts industry has a relatively short development history, a low degree of commercialization, a low degree of professionalism, and a training mechanism that is not perfect enough. Many fighters have a narrow range of employment after retiring. Although Chinese martial arts culture has a long history, relatively few people are engaged in this profession today.
I didn't take the career path at that time because I was thinking about my future survival. When you step out of the ring and don't talk with your fists, you'll at least be able to feed yourself and survive!
The master and I sat in the living room, drinking tea and smoking cigarettes, leisurely watching these five commercial games.
The game was fiercely contested. Commercial competitions require this kind of warm atmosphere, and the players also represent their respective countries, and they are even more energetic to fight on the field.
At the end of the first three games, the Chinese team led by a score of 2-1. The two wins were points wins, and the loss came with a knockout in the ring by a Russian fighter. The Russian team manager had a problem with the penalty decisions for the two games they lost, and at one point even led to the interruption of the game. However, fortunately, the public relations skills of the Chinese staff were still very strong, and after a few minutes of communication, the Russians still gave up the appeal and continued the next game.
As a bystander, but also as a person who practices martial arts. I'm a little blushing at the two games that China won. Especially in one of them, he was knocked down by the opponent many times, and even counted the seconds once, and the final result was actually the Chinese side winning. Everyone is aiming to win the game, and I think this kind of winning method is even more humiliating. Losing is not terrible, at least it tells us the gap between us and the world's fighting level. Just work hard and we'll catch up.
No matter what the competition, the most important thing is fairness!
Taozi was placed in fourth place as China's star player. The opponent is the internationally well-known Moorhan, ranked eighth in the world, and is quite a strong player.
This game was the most interesting game of the night, and many viewers spent a lot of money to buy tickets to come in, probably for this Mars collision with the earth. For Taozi to make a name for China's sanda, Moorhan needs to defend his honor as the eighth in the world. The cheers of the audience before the two players appeared on the stage detonated the stadium, and even I couldn't help but feel the blood boiling when I sat in front of the TV. Sitting next to me, the master even took out the cigarette in his hand and looked at it intently.
As soon as the bell rang for the game, the two sides collided. It's like two tanks, each other not giving in to each other.
Taozi's style varies greatly. In the past, when the two of us were splitting each other, he preferred to use his delicate punches and legs to find my weaknesses and break them down one by one. His former style was like that of a predatory leopard, and he would always hold himself back at first. But once he sees your weakness, he will not hesitate to go up and stick to it.
Taozi thinks my style is like a fox, more sinister and cunning.
I used to be known as a good boxer with my brain.
Now, the leopard has metamorphosed into a tiger. punches and legs open and close, and the world's top masters are not weak at all. Under the heavy punches and legs, Moorhan also had to shrink his head and retreat.
Moerhan is not an idle opponent, and the fierceness of the battle clan has really made Taozi suffer a little. After eating a few heavy legs from Taozi, Moorhan's combination punch also knocked Taozi back again and again.
When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.
After three rounds, the referee decided that this was a draw.
It was a fair verdict, and Moorhan gladly accepted it. After the host announced the results, the two fighters hugged in a friendly way. Maybe the audience didn't agree with this result, but a fair verdict is indeed a sign of respect for all fighters!
The fifth match was a contest over 90 kilograms. Asians have never been dominant in this class. As expected, the Chinese team unfortunately lost this game. However, the Chinese team drew with the Russian fighter with an overall score of two wins, two losses and one draw. This is a happy outcome, and the audience can accept it.
When the award was presented, there really seemed to be a touching scene of "friendship first, competition second". The fighters on both sides hugged each other and exchanged praise for their opponents. The strong showmanship of the commercial competition made the master also shout, "I can't bear it." ”
Different from the criticism after watching Taozi's competition in the past, the master rarely gave a compliment: "There is progress!"
I don't know how Taozi will feel when she hears it, but at the moment I want to take off my coat and punch the sandbag for a while.
My fists are itching at the moment!
