Text Chapter 1068 Boxing Match
Xiao Peng listened to Tyron's words and nodded: "Okay, the key is that I don't understand baseball, and now it's much better to understand the rules!"
Taryn pretended to be concerned after hearing this: "In that case, it's good, you let the ball hit, it's okay, right?"
Xiao Peng moved his muscles: "It's okay, this ball is very weak, I can't try it at all!"
Thiago, who pitched the ball, was angry when he heard Xiao Peng say this, dare to say that my ball is very weak? Seeing Xiao Peng signaling that he was ready, he directly threw the ball at Xiao Peng again, and this time the target was directly Xiao Peng's face!
Everyone was exclaiming, but they heard a crisp sound, only to see Xiao Peng's bat on his face, and the baseball just smashed on the bat. Xiao Peng didn't do anything at all.
"How do you count this ball?" Xiao Peng asked Taryn on the side.
After hearing this, Taryn looked at Xiao Peng, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "My Huaxia friend, you have a great talent for playing baseball, this kind of ball is called hitting the ball, it is a baseball hitting method to ensure the hitting rate, such a ball is not far, but the beater can rely on the speed to hit the base! But we are not on the base now, so this kind of hitting is not counted." Otherwise, you won't be able to tell the winner of the game with a touch ball!"
Xiao Peng nodded and threw the baseball back to Thiago, but he said a word: "Left leg!"
Thiago didn't understand what it meant, glared at Xiao Peng fiercely, and threw the ball at Xiao Peng's head again!
But this time Xiao Peng didn't show mercy to his subordinates, I saw him twist his body and hit the ball out with a twisting action similar to yoga, but this time the ball flew directly to Thiago at high speed, Thiago didn't understand what was going on, and there was a sharp pain in his left leg!
"Ahh Holding his legs, he was lying on the ground with a painful face, but the ball hit his thigh, although it was not broken, but the bruises were indispensable.
Xiao Peng looked sorry, this baseball is still unfamiliar, obviously he wanted to break his calf, how did it become a thigh?
Xiao Peng's face was full of apologies: "Oh, what should I do? Tyron, I didn't mean to, how could such a thing happen? This baseball is too dangerous! I can't play it, I can't play it! Thiago, are you okay?"
Thiago struggled to his feet: "It's okay, it's just an accident, let's keep playing!"
Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb to Thiago: "Good job, worthy of Cuban masters, come, let's continue!
Thiago moved his thighs and shook his head: "I really can't throw my legs out of this situation." β
Xiao Peng pouted: "It's obviously throwing the ball with your hands, what's the matter with your legs!
Thiago said: "You can throw the ball, I'll hit it!" What he was thinking about now was to hit the ball thrown by Xiao Peng back to Xiao Peng, just like Xiao Peng!
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this, stood in the position of the pitcher, and shouted at Yang Meng: "Mengzi, you come over and be a catcher for me!"
Yang Meng chatted happily with the girl there, and waved his hand desperately after listening to Xiao Peng's words: "You play by yourself, I'm not as idle as you!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng: "You're lazy!"
Taryn was puzzled: "My Huaxia friends, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the protective gear on Tyron's body and said, "I said let him be a catcher, so as not to hurt you!"
Taryn was stunned: "How can I be injured with so much armor?
Xiao Peng looked at Taryn and blinked, "Are you sure?"
Taryn nodded: "Our No. 1 sport in Cuba is baseball! There are no men, women and children who can't play baseball, I've been a catcher for many years, what kind of ball haven't I ever received?
Xiao Peng pursed his lips and stood in the pitcher's position: "Are you ready?"
Thiago, who was holding the bat, glared at Xiao Peng viciously and signaled that he was ready! The pitcher of this baseball is very particular, fast balls, slow balls, spinning balls, curve balls, etc., can be thrown, and the ball thrown by the layman is not fast or slow, as they are all very good blows, he must avenge the goal smashed by Xiao Peng just now!
Xiao Peng saw that Thiago was ready, waved his hand, and threw the ball out, but everyone only saw a white shadow flashing, and then there was a loud bang, and then Tyron, who was the catcher, caught the ball, but the whole person flew out and smashed heavily on the iron fence behind him.
The audience was silent, only Yang Meng laughed there, looking at Fidel looking at himself, Yang Meng explained: "Haha, Fidel, do you know? You said that Mr. Yang is a giant monster, go to catch his ball? Isn't that looking for death?"
He regretted it when he said this, and many girls on the scene had already cast enthusiastic eyes at Xiao Peng. 'Giant Monster', I wonder if other aspects also have that much strength?
Xiao Peng looked at Thiago and pulled Taryn up: "Mr. Tyron, are you okay? Can you still hold on?" Mr. Thiago, I just started playing baseball, and I didn't shoot the ball, you must be careful, in case the ball hits you, you must quickly dodge! Let's continue!"
Listening to Xiao Peng's words, Thiago shook his head desperately, this ball is about to catch up with the bullets, who will pick it up? Isn't that fatal?
"Huaxia friends, we can't play this game anymore. Let's switch to a different game!" Thiago said.
"Is that Taryn okay?" Xiao Peng asked with concern.
Taryn lost feeling in both hands, but he still shook his head desperately, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine! Huaxia friend, you two, why are you on it? We still have to communicate with your friends." β
Xiao Peng smiled, you have finally come to your senses, you are looking for trouble with Yang Meng, not with me.
"Thatγγγγγγ Are you sure you want to find him? You see that his muscles are more than mine, don't look for him, just look for me!" "To be honest, he really hasn't played enough, Yang Meng is right, he has been at home for too long, and now he finally has a chance to let himself go, don't go to others!"
Taryn took a breath, what does the big muscle mean? We don't have big muscles? We can't throw such a perverted ball!
"Well, since it's a brother-country exchange, then you must all participate, how about you just participate in it yourself?
After hearing this, Xiao Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "Tyrann, don't be impulsive. My buddy is not like me, and he will not show mercy to his subordinates. β
Taryn obviously didn't believe Xiao Peng's words, What kind of bragging are you bragging? There are two other monsters like you? How is it possible?
"It's okay, it's okay, if you want to play, let's play together, and let your friends participate in it!"
"Hey, they're looking for you by name. Xiao Peng waved his hand at Yang Meng, and Yang Meng reluctantly walked out of the pile of beauties after hearing this: "Say, what are you playing this time?"
Before Taryn could answer him, he heard a phrase from behind the crowd: "Boxing!"
"Huh?" Several people were stunned for a moment, and looked at the person who spoke together, only to see a few people coming over, the person who spoke could be more than 1.7 meters tall, but the muscles were prominent, he could be in his thirties, and behind him was a group of young people. It's all muscular!
"Coach Martin!" Fidel took a breath and whispered to Xiao Peng, "Coach Martin Nelro is the head of our school's boxing department. β
Xiao Peng asked curiously, "What's the matter?" His girlfriend also let Yang Meng pry, which one is his girlfriend?"
Fidel said: "Mr. Xiao, you have misunderstood! Coach Martin participated in the Olympic Games that year, and he was the runner-up in the boxing competition that year, and he lost to you Chinese players! Therefore, he has a natural hostility towards you Chinese people, and last year several sports exchange students from your school came to study with us, just to let him be driven away alive! Mr. Xiao, you have to stop Mr. Yang quickly, he will suffer!"
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "Compete with Yang Meng in boxing? He is blind! Go, follow and watch the excitement!"
In the boxing ring managed by sports, Yang Meng stood on the edge of the ring, did not take off his sunglasses, did not wear any protective gear except for wearing dental trays, and stood shirtless in the ring. Oh, and still wearing his sunglasses.
And his opponent, Martin, wore a helmet and a vest, and gritted his teeth in his mouth.
In boxing, the biggest difference between professional and amateur fighters is the protective gear and gloves. Professional fighters wear shirtless and dental trays, while amateur fighters wear helmets. And the gloves of the two are not the same, the front end of the boxing gloves in the amateur game is white, and only when the white part hits the opponent clearly and forcefully, it is considered to be scored, so there is a big difference between amateur boxers and professional boxers.
The same is true of Cuban boxers, who have been trained according to the rules of amateur boxing since childhood, so they are naturally the type with outstanding skills and low punch power.
Of course, this absolutely does not mean that amateur boxers are not as good as professional boxers, the two are the two schools of boxing, basically it is the flow of technology VS power, and the performance of amateur boxers in Cuba to professional boxers is not bad, it is a big country and a super power in professional boxing!
Stevenson, a famous Cuban boxer at that time, competed in the Olympics as an amateur boxer for life, represented Cuba in the Olympic Games three times, and won the Olympic heavyweight boxing gold medal for Cuba three times.
In order to lure Stevenson and Ali into a big fight, Donkin paid Stevenson a million appearance fees (one million in those days is almost 100 million now), but Stevenson said directly: "Can a million dollars be compared with 10 million Cuban people?"
And Cuban amateur fighters go to the professional ring, and the level is good. It is also a first-class country in the professional boxing ring, but their professional fighters also inherit the characteristics of their amateur fighters, with outstanding skills and insufficient strength.
But this has been a disaster year for Cuban boxing, starting with Rigundo's defeat to Lomachenko last December, starting with BA welterweight champion Dortix making a knockout of Gasiyev on February 3, followed by Ortiz nicknamed 'King Kong' losing to Wilder in ten rounds on March 3, losing to Rekoch seven days later, and BA super welterweight champion Lara in April.
This has also led to Cuba not having a championship in professional boxing, which is the first time in many years!
Looking at Yang Meng's dress, Fidel asked, "Mr. Xiao, is Mr. Yang a professional boxer?"
Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile: "He has fought a few boxing matches in total, and they are all amateur events, and professional boxing doesn't take him to play." β
He was really right, ordinary Olympic champions will be invited to professional events to participate in professional competitions, but after Yang Meng won the championship that year, there was no professional event to invite him, it was too scary for him to win, and it would be yellow for him to go to which professional eventγγγγγγ
"Then why doesn't he wear a helmet?" Fidel asked.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "He's afraid of death!"
In fact, there has always been controversy about whether wearing a helmet can really protect the boxer, and whether a boxing helmet can really ensure the safety of the boxer, in fact, there is no conclusive conclusion until now.
If you use the data to speak: the concussion rate with a boxing helmet is 43% higher than that without boxing gloves, after all, the helmet is foam filled, as long as the blow is heavy enough, the foam can't absorb any damage, and the boxing helmet is not designed to protect the chin.
Wearing a boxing helmet can make it harder for an athlete to dodge the opponent's punches because it obstructs the view, or wearing a helmet can create a false sense of security, making the athlete more inclined to take risks and take more head hits. This can also cause more internal injuries.
And according to research by the International Boxing Federation, referees stop more fights when a fighter is wearing a helmet because of a head injury.
To put it bluntly, it is actually a sentence: not wearing a helmet to participate in a boxing match, the chance of external injury increases, often a boxing down, the boxer's face is bloody, and there are wounds everywhere that make the fist crack, but wearing a helmet to participate in a boxing match, the probability of internal injury is much higher than the probability of not wearing a helmet!
Therefore, many people believe that it is safer to not wear a helmet in the boxing ring.
Since the 2016 Olympic Games, boxers have begun to wear helmets in men's boxing competitions, but considering that this statement is controversial, boxers in the women's Olympic boxing competition still wear helmets to compete.
Of course, Xiao Peng's statement is just an excuse, the real reason is: Yang Meng wears a helmet?
As soon as the bell rang next to the ring, the fight finally began. Martin adjusted his pace, constantly adjusting the distance between him and Yang Meng with his jab, like a poisonous snake ready to prey at any time! Yang Meng stood there motionless, as if frightened.
"Is Mr. Yang okay? Isn't he afraid of hurting his eyes if he doesn't take off his sunglasses?" Fidel asked worriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yang Meng in the ring suddenly punch, Martin was very experienced, and directly raised his arms to protect and block the punch, but the whole person still flew out.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay, you can go, let's finish." β
