Chapter 108: Choosing the Wrong Profession (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"Good, well done, Matthew!"
"Punch with your back hand!yes, that's it!"
"Matthew, come on, beat that bastard Nebora down!"
On the boxing training ground of the fitness club, more than 20 people stood by the ring, watching the two sturdy men on the ring fight, and from time to time there would be a burst of shouts.
The fight in the ring was between Matthew and coach Neborah, but both wore full protective gear.
Almost all the onlookers were cheering for Matthew, not that they were on Matthew's side, but that boxing coach Nebora hadn't lost in the gym yet, and they all wanted to see someone beat this guy.
Matthew has always been on the defensive, although he has a lot of jungler experience in his predecessors, but he has only been exposed to professional training for more than a month, and he is not comparable to Nebora who has been training all year round.
Modern competitive fighting, with systematic scientific training, this kind of one-on-one fighting, without the use of weapons, ordinary people simply cannot fight against professional fighters.
However, compared with Niebola, Matthew also has his own strengths, especially when the two have played many games recently and lost in a row, they have also summed up certain lessons.
He is not as strong as Neborah, there is also a difference in weight, but his feet are very flexible, and after a period of training, his physical coordination and agility are better, and fighting is the only chance.
If he resists face to face, Nie Bola's backhand punch will teach him how to be a man.
In the first days of the two-man training, Matthew was inexperienced and had suffered a lot of backhand punches from Neborah, and he was a non-professional with limited ability to resist strikes.
There were constant noises under the ring, and many people were shouting and cheering, but Matthew was unmoved, giving full play to the advantage of flexible steps, constantly swimming around the ring, and harassing Niebola with his forehand jab from time to time, not giving him a chance to fight in close quarters.
The strategy worked, and Matthew held out for the first time against Niebora until the third round, the final round of this purely amateur training match.
Nebora was older, weighed more, and exerted more physical exertion than him, and that's what Matthew wanted.
He continued to swim while looking for an opportunity to strike, and Nebora's pace was noticeably slower than in the first two rounds, and after dealing with a few forehand jabs from Matthew, the otherwise tight defense revealed a hole in the right side of the face, exposing the right cheek with the protective gear.
Knowing that the opportunity was rare, Matthew immediately took advantage of his speed, bullied up, and swung out his left fist, which had been hiding behind him, like lightning, and slammed it into Neborah's face protector, and then struck with his right fist, hitting Niebola's head protector again.
Then, he rained down on Nebora's body with a combination of punches.
Niebola covered his head with both hands, and it seemed that he only had the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back, but he was a professional player, and his ability to resist hitting was extremely good, but he was absent from the battle and retreated, and he did not panic at all.
Matthew's attack didn't last long, and he quickly felt his arm go limp, and he knew that it was impossible to knock out Neborah, and after another heavy punch suppression, he pulled back and retreated.
Neborah fought back, and Matthew quickly dodged and continued to fight, finally holding on until the end of the third round.
The two men acting as the temporary referee briefly deliberated, and one of them said loudly, "Nebora points win!"
"It's Nebora again!"
"I thought Matthew could win......"
There was a wave of disappointment around the ring, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.
With the assistance of the staff, Matthew took off his boxing gloves and followed Niebora around the ring twice, and waited for his breathing to calm down a little, then picked up the water and drank it.
"I'm a few years older, and I won't be able to sustain your third-round attack. Neborah screwed on the water bottle, held on to the guardrail, and said to Matthew, "Your strategy is very right. ”
Matthew also crouched on the guardrail, "but the training is not enough, and the fist power is still not strong enough." ”
Nebora laughed, "I'm a fighter who has fought all over the United States, and even though I'm older, I still have the ability to resist strikes. He reached out and patted Matthew's arm, "You're very good, your strength, coordination, and agility are all top-notch among amateurs, and you've only been training for less than two months." ”
Matthew shrugged his shoulders, in fact, it was obvious that the previous Matthew was typical of a simple mind and well-developed limbs, and if he could embark on the path of professional sports, he might be able to mix his head.
"I think you're choosing the wrong career. Nebora has been working as Matthew's boxing coach lately, and thinks he can see it more clearly, "You shouldn't be an actor!"
Matthew asked curiously, "Why?"
Niebola wasn't joking, "I think you have the potential to become a professional fighter, and if you can train professionally, it's possible to go to the UFC, the only problem is that you're a little older now." ”
He patted Matthew's arm again, "If you're interested, I can introduce you to a coach." ”
"Forget it. Matthew declined without thinking about it, "I think being a Hollywood star is more promising, and it's not a waste of talent for me to be an action star in the future." ”
Nebora nodded, "yes, your innate condition is very good!" he said bluntly, "In terms of physical condition alone, you are much better than Hugh Jackman, who I supervised the training last time." ”
Matthew smiled and didn't answer his words, but instead reached out and touched Neborah's fist, "Thank you for your guidance during this time, and we'll continue when I'm done." ”
This is the last day of his training, and in three days he will report to Universal Studios, where the "Fast and Furious" crew is located, to participate in the pre-shooting training organized by the crew.
"Good luck!" Nieborah and Matthew don't get along well, "Become a big star soon!"
"Thank you!"
Matthew left the boxing ring, took a shower and went home, and in the evening Britney sneaked over to have a tryst with him, but as before, Britney returned home after nine o'clock.
After this time, neither of them had time, Britney had to prepare for the MTV Music Awards, female stars walked the red carpet, which was much more troublesome than men, and Matthew entered the "Fast and Furious" crew and began a five-day training.
The training is far simpler than he thought, the action director personally gave them these actors who have action scenes, the course is mainly divided into two parts, one is how to cooperate with the crew in the action scenes, which can be said to be the most important, after all, the film's fighting scenes and reality are completely different things, and the other is the safety issue during shooting.
"It's okay, there are stunt doubles in dangerous action scenes......"
During the break, a tall, thin actor with short and medium blond hair said to Matthew, "You're miserable, you have to go to both scenes in person." ”
Matthew smiled and shrugged, "I'm used to it." He deliberately said, "Paul, I'm a master at this!"
The person who talked to him was Paul Walker, one of the leading actors of the crew, and there were only five or six people in the training, and he basically got acquainted with it in a few days, especially Paul Walker as the leading actor.
After observing for a few days, Matthew found that Paul Walker was easy-going, had no temper, and got along with people more kindly, which can be regarded as a very good personality among the somewhat famous actors he met.
Paul Walker shook his head in disbelief.
Matthew flexed his arms and showed off his biceps muscles hidden under his T-shirt, "I've just been boxing for a while, and I can fight the pros!"
"Just blow it. Paul Walker smiled.
"I'm honest and don't like to brag. Matthew looked at the other actors participating in the training and asked, "Why haven't you seen the other protagonist all the time?"
Training is almost over, and Vin Diesel hasn't shown up yet.
'He's not going to train. Paul Walker shook his head, "I heard from the agent that he has been negotiating with the crew to increase Dominic Toretto's role......"
"Oh?" asked Matthew curiously, "He's not very famous, is he?"
Paul Walker obviously has understood, "Vin Diesel has starred in films with tens of millions of dollars of investment, and this time he also brought most of the investment for the crew, although there is no named producer, but he has a say in many things." Originally, Dominique Toretto was just a pure supporting role, but later he took on the role, and the script became one of the two protagonists after several revisions. ”
Matthew nodded, "I see. ”
Five days of training went by in a flash, and Vin Diesel didn't show up until the end of the session.
However, Matthew doesn't care about this kind of thing, he just plays a small role with a few scenes, and he will leave the crew soon, so he shouldn't have too much intersection with the people in this crew.
The filming of "Fast and Furious" began quickly, and Matthew joined the filming on the third day after the crew started filming.
