Chapter 173: The Game Begins

Michelle's income in the United States is relatively high, but if she travels back and forth between China and the United States more than a dozen times a year, the cost of air tickets alone will cost tens of thousands of dollars, and it is still difficult to afford. After Tian Chuan raised this question, Michelle was not worried, she said: "You don't have to worry about me, my salary income is usually only used as pocket money, I have a little Disney shares in my hand, and the annual dividend is enough for me, otherwise where would I have the money to drive such an expensive car." ”

Since this is the case, Tian Chuan no longer worries about Michelle's affairs. Still, he suggested that Michelle find a job in China, which would make it easier for her to travel to and from China. He gave Michelle some advice, such as teaching English in some professional institutions or schools, which Michelle was also interested in, and she also hoped to learn Chinese while working.

After the matter was settled, Tagawa took Michelle on a tour of the school, invited her to dinner, and then sent her back to the hotel.

In the hotel, most of the members of the American delegation returned, and after a day of sightseeing, everyone's curiosity about the Chinese capital was satisfied, and they gathered together to chat and discuss the upcoming game. Tian Chuan said hello to everyone, didn't stay long, and said goodbye and went home.

The next day, the day when the two sides got acquainted with the venue, Tagawa sent a car to pick up the personnel of both sides and came to the Judo Hall of the Sports University, which was selected as the venue for the competition.

The choice of this place as the venue for the competition was well thought out. Tagawa's most basic consideration is to expand the influence of the Tai Chi Push Hands movement. Sports universities have a lot of influence on a sport. What's more, he is still a sports star and has been training at the sports university for a long time. He believes that the competition here can attract a large number of students and teachers from the school to watch the competition, so that after a competition, no matter how the victory or defeat is, the sport will take root here.

The martial arts department of the University of Physical Education also has a Tai Chi major, but this major is mainly based on taolu competitions rather than pusher competitions. Although there are also people who study the promoter, the actual level is not high. This time, the more high-end Tai Chi Pusher Competition will be set here, maybe those teachers who engage in Tai Chi in the school will be dissatisfied, but the school management is still more acceptable.

In the judo hall, after getting used to the completely open competition and training grounds, the American participants began to practice separately, and some people were practicing against each other.

The members of the Tai Chi side did not go to the field to practice, but just took a closer look at the judo competition area that will be used as the competition venue tomorrow, and after a little activity in the venue, they left separately, and they will come here again in the afternoon to participate in the discussion of the rules of the competition. Most of the translators Tagawa hired were students at the University of Physical Education, so it was convenient to serve these Americans.

The reporter of the TV station also came here in the afternoon to learn about the venue, preliminarily determine the position of the video camera, and at the same time understand the rules of the game, so as to facilitate tomorrow's interview.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the personnel of both sides came to the athletes' rest area in the judo hall to discuss the rules of tomorrow's competition. Tagawa invited several martial arts teachers from the University of Physical Education to be referees to participate in the discussion.

Tagawa first came up with his own rules based on the rules of the Tai Chi Tui Shou competition, the main principle is that during the competition, both sides can participate barefoot and barefoot, and can voluntarily choose to wear protective gear including gloves, helmets, crotch guards, dental trays and taekwondo cuirasses. Attacks on the crotch/head, neck, and back of the head are not allowed, and hand attacks on the head are not allowed without gloves. As for the score and the determination of victory and defeat, it is also relatively simple, forcing the opponent to get one point out of the circle, and both sides will not score when they go out of the circle at the same time, and they will not score when they go out of the circle successively. Any part of the body touching the ground outside the circle is out of the circle. No points are scored for hitting or falling to the ground. If one side loses the ability to continue playing, the referee has the right to determine that one side is incapacitated. The game is divided into three rounds, each of which lasts 4 minutes, and the winner is determined by the number of points scored at the end of the game.

There were a lot of opinions from both sides about the rules, but the focus of the competition between the different types of martial arts is different. For example, the rules of Tai Chi pusher are to fall to the ground and lose points, but judo can not accept such rules, the rules of judo to control the opponent's score, is not very applicable to other fighting methods, the final comprehensive result, or basically accepted Tagawa's opinion, after the two sides discussed only some details of the modification, the rules were determined.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, the day of the competition. It was Saturday, and this year the country had just begun to implement the system of big weeks and two holidays, and there were no classes in schools, and I heard that there were competitions between Tai Chi and the United States Mixed Martial Arts Association, and quite a lot of people came to the judo gym to watch. The University of Physical Education did not use admission tickets, but allowed everyone to enter and watch freely, but set up security guards at the entrance of the judo hall, and when the seats were full, no one was allowed to enter.

With 40 minutes to go before the start of the match at 9 a.m., the auditorium was already full, and the entire judo gym was full of people discussing the possible outcome of the event.

Some of the guests specially invited by Tian Chuan have also been present, including many celebrities in the taijiquan world, representatives of many martial arts schools, representatives of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, and leaders of Agricultural University and Sports University, and dozens of special guests, occupying the best viewing position near the main / table of the judo gym.

This game was not a formal competition, but just a friendly exchange, and Tagawa did not have any opening ceremonies or anything like the official competition, nor did he raise the national flag and play the national anthem. Seeing that the scheduled time had arrived, he walked to the center of the venue with a microphone in his hand and said, "Good morning everyone, I am Tian Chuan, a member of the Taijiquan Sports Committee. At the invitation of the Los Angeles Mixed Martial Arts Association, our Tai Chi Athletic Committee will have a friendly match with them. Today, I borrowed the judo hall of the Sports University and played a total of 10 games. ”

"This competition is a friendly competition between different martial arts disciplines, because the characteristics of each martial arts are different, and we cannot use the existing rules of the competition, so we have specially agreed on the rules of today's competition. Before the competition, I would like to introduce you to the new rules. ”

As he spoke, he introduced the rules of the game that were discussed and determined yesterday. When Tian Chuan spoke, Xu Jingyi translated his words synchronously and spoke them with another microphone.

After the introduction of the rules of the game, Tagawa introduced and thanked the referees who were present today, and then he asked Michelle to speak on behalf of the United States team. Michelle reaffirmed the purpose of the tournament and the original intention of the contest to improve its martial arts skills, and Tagawa translated her speech.

Subsequently, Tagawa introduced the first pair of fighters who appeared: "Now I would like to introduce you to the first Tai Chi boxer, Zeng Wenxuan, a white-level boxer from the Agricultural University Taijiquan Association, against Vivian from the Los Angeles Mixed Martial Arts Association, who is good at boxing and Israeli Krav Maga. ”

After Zeng Wenxuan and Vivian appeared, they bowed to each other and set up a preparatory ceremony. Neither of them wore protective gear, and Vivien, who was a boxer, did not wear gloves, so she could not use her boxing skills to hit Zeng Wenxuan's head, which would definitely affect her performance.

With the referee's order, the game began. Vivien is a mulatto who is not very tall, similar to Zeng Wenxuan, in a boxing position, she punches quickly and powerfully, while Zeng Wenxuan is in a defensive posture, only to listen to the counterattack when the two sides have physical contact.

The match only lasted more than ten seconds, and after a punch, Vivian suddenly approached Zeng Wenxuan, grabbed her right hand, and turned to her side with strange footwork, twisting her right hand into a reverse joint, and then pushed out of the circle and fell to the ground, scoring a point first.

In the ensuing game, Zeng Wenxuan seemed to be very uncomfortable with Vivian's Krav Maga technique, which was mainly based on reverse joint grappling, and was pushed out of the circle several times in a row, and her left arm elbow joint was also injured, and she gave up before the first quarter of the game was completed.

Zeng Wenxuan was very embarrassed that he lost the first game and apologized to others again and again. Tagawa comforted her and did not blame.

Then in the second game, by a Yang-style green boxer Geng Wenming, Geng Wenming's strength is obviously much stronger than Zeng Wenxuan, but the battle is still very difficult, his opponent is a very strong man, the technique used is based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, although Geng Wenming used eight methods in the game clearly, and also scored a lot ahead in the game, but in the third game was thrown out by the opponent with a heavy throw, his left leg was fractured, unable to continue the game, and was judged to lose.

In the third game, Liu Meiting appeared to face a black man on the other side, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, nearly a head taller than Liu Meiting. This black man used the hand-to-hand combat skills of the U.S. military, and his movements were crisp and powerful, but he was restrained to death by Liu Meiting, as long as there was physical contact, he would be flattened by Liu Meiting. After Liu Meiting neatly led 14-0 in the first game, she wisely conceded defeat. Everyone can see that he is not Liu Meiting's opponent at all, and it is not interesting to compare.

In the next few matches, both sides won and lost. The sixth appearance on the American side was a well-proportioned white young man with tattoos on his arms, named Cindy, who used Krav Maga and Aikido, which were somewhat similar to Taijiquan, but he was powerful and easily defeated the martial arts green-level boxers, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

Liu Meiting made two appearances in the eighth game, against Michelle. Michelle's strength was very strong, but she was still suppressed by Liu Meiting and had no power to fight back, and she was quickly defeated.

The later the game progresses, the stronger the players on the field, and the faster the winner is decided, and the winner is basically decided in the first game. And later, the strength of the two sides was strong, and the control of strength and skill was also much stronger, and they could stop at the point, and there were basically no more injuries.
