Chapter 0007: When the Ring Match is in progress
Xie Tianhua asked, "Brother Jian, have you read the report?" Do you know the format of the main competition? ”
Zheng Yijian was inexplicable: "I didn't mention it on TV!" ”
Xie Tianhua said with a smile: "I'm dizzy, the TV will definitely not report it in such detail, the letter is on it!" If you haven't seen it, I'll tell you about it. Because the list www.biquge.info of candidates for the main competition is not a fixed number, it is not the previous 1024 into 512 into 256 into 128. This time, all players will participate in a round of the main competition, including European, American Chinese, mainland China, and Southeast Asia, and they will play the first game. Then, according to the performance of the first game, determine who can bye one game later, and who can bye two games, until they enter the round of 256, and then they will be eliminated to the championship one-on-one. ”
Zheng Yijian made a rough estimate that if the first main match is particularly vigorous, it only takes two main matches to enter the top 256. On the contrary, if the performance is average, you will have to play four games one step at a time to enter the top 256.
Zheng Yijian asked: "With so many games, you can't finish it this month, right?" ”
Xie Tianhua said with a smile: "I definitely can't finish the fight, the top 256 will be decided in the remaining ten days of this month, and I will have to fight nearly 2,000 boxing matches." CNN in the United States and ABB in the United Kingdom have reported on this event, and Shaw Brothers Pictures and TVB have really grown a big face! ”
Zheng Yijian didn't expect that the scale of this kung fu ring competition would be so large, and it would almost become a grand event for Chinese people around the world. In the previous life, Hong Kong seemed to have similar competitions, but the scale and influence were obviously not the same.
The grander and more influential this kung fu ring competition is, the happier Zheng Yijian will naturally be. Because this means that the top three of this competition, especially the champions, are unprecedented.
Zheng Yijian has always felt that in the original world, the total decline of Hong Kong's local action stars in the 90s was related to the fact that they never won the influential championship.
Hong Kongers' preference for action stars is always changing. In the sixties and seventies, the audience liked Bruce Lee, Dilong, a steady, hard-bridged and hard-horse southern martial arts star.
In the 80s, the audience was tired of this style, but fortunately, the eldest brother Chen Long transformed in time and created the style of kung fu comedy, adding many witty and funny actions to the southern kung fu action, plus some real stunts without stand-ins, to win the audience's love again.
In the 90s, Brother Chen Long was no longer working, and Hong Kong's local stars were completely cut off. Later, Li Lianjie, Zhao Wenyesterday, Wu Yue, Wu Jin and others will open and close, and the majestic northern martial arts will be carried forward in front of the screen.
At that time, no one in Hong Kong could compete with these four people, and the important reason was that a group of martial arts stand-ins were faced with champions cultivated by more than a billion countries.
Li Lianjie and Wu Jin are both national martial arts champions, Zhao Wenyesterday and Wu Yue are national sanda champions, and some have defended their titles for several times.
It is these shining credentials that pave the way for their action stardom.
Zheng Yijian knew that in his original world, even if he won a kung fu ring championship, it would not be a big deal, and it was not enough to look at it in front of so many national champions.
But this world is different, the scale and influence of this kung fu ring competition are unprecedented, and the first-line media in Europe and the United States have paid attention to it, and the championship of this ring competition is comparable to the champion of any major international competition.
Of course, the unprecedentedly huge influence must have also attracted a lot of unborn masters, and even some of the characters who 'lived for a long time' were blown up!
The difficulty of wanting to reach the top of the competition has also been magnified several times.
Faced with this situation, Zheng Yijian and Qian Jiahao both chose the same strategy after receiving the notice of the first main match: to play steadily and steadily.
In the view of Cheng Xiaochun and others, the best strategy for this long system that allows the strong to have byes is to play in the first game, solve the opponent with the fastest and most disparity, and win more byes.
However, Zheng Yijian and Qian Jiahao have their own considerations. Both of them have practiced authentic national arts since childhood, and they are very confident in their skills, but the two of them have never participated in a formal ring match in the past, and they have not even had the opportunity to compete with people in the gym, so the ring experience is extremely lacking.
Zheng Yijian knocked out the bald head Qiang in one move in the preliminaries, mainly because the other party's contempt provoked their brothers. After entering the official competition, Zheng Yijian hopes to play a few more games, familiarize himself with the competition ring, understand the rules of the game, feel the atmosphere of the game, and grasp the rhythm of the game.
From November 21st to 24th, the first Hong Kong Kung Fu Ring Tournament officially kicked off, including more than 400 mainland, Southeast Asian, European and American Chinese players, including 2,588 players all participated in the first round of the main competition.
The largest stadiums in each of the 18 districts of Hong Kong were rented as sub-venues, and each sub-stadium arranged more than a dozen games every day, causing a sensation in Hong Kong, and thousands of people went to watch the first round of the main game.
Zheng Yijian's first-round opponent is a leg master from the north of the mainland. Springing legs, whipping legs, breaking legs, volley spin kicks, roundhouse kicks, down splitting legs, and the offense is endless.
Zheng Yijian set the strategy of playing steadily and understanding the game before the game, so he has always been defensive, studying how to resolve the opponent's show-off leg method with the smallest amplitude and the smallest force.
Therefore, in the eyes of the spectators, it is this handsome young man, who has been narrowly trying to block the opponent's attack, just when everyone is worried in their hearts to count how many legs the teenager will have, when he was kicked out of the ring, the teenager seemed to have found an opportunity, a knee hit the leg of the opponent's attack, and at the moment when the opponent lost his center of gravity, an elbow hit the opponent's neck crutch at close range, knocking the opponent to the ground.
In the eyes of the organizing committee staff who recorded the progress of the game, this game is also a story of a tough teenager who was beaten all the way and finally aimed at an opportunity to fight back. Such a victory, of course, cannot qualify for a bye, and the second round must be played as usual.
Qian Jiahao's first round was scheduled on the 23rd, and the first round was already halfway through, and the public's enthusiasm had decreased a lot, but now the people who are still watching the game are real kung fu fans.
Qian Jiahao's opponent is a young man from Chinatown, the kung fu is not pure, but it is very miscellaneous, and he seems to know a little bit about the door. The biggest feature of this boxer is that in addition to his knowledge, his boxing style is very wild, and he has an obvious black market boxing style, after all, people are in a foreign land, and it is not easy to survive by fists.
Qian Jiahao faced such an experienced black market fighter, and suffered some losses at first. It wasn't until he used Wing Chun to stabilize the defense, and when the black market boxer was exhausted, he turned to attack and knocked the opponent to his knees with Wing Chun in close quarters.
Qian Jiahao's performance of being beaten in the early stage and finally winning with difficulty also lost his bye and entered the second round of the main competition as usual.
From the 25th to the 26th, the second round of the ring competition started, and 1,256 winners of the first round participated in the following competitions. Of the 1,294 matches in the first round, the winners of 38 were also unable to continue the game and announced their retirement.
Such a tragic first-round situation was beyond the expectations of the organizing committee and the mainstream media, and negative comments such as bloodshed and violence poured in.
The contest can only be decided on an ad hoc basis, and the participant waiver letter that was originally signed in the second phase of next month will be implemented in advance. This was originally an insurance document that took into account the inevitable disability of the players in the later stage of the game.
This document is equivalent to the ancient state of life and death, and the clause in it is nothing more than that, before the ring competition, the participants clearly know the risks of the event and the possible harm to themselves, and the participants have the full ability to identify and be responsible for their own actions, and the competition and the opponent are exempt from criminal liability and compensation for life hazards or disabilities caused in the competition.
On the one hand, the signing of such a document is to extract the responsibility of the competition organizer for the disability accident in the subsequent event, and at the same time to warn the contestants of the high risk of the competition and leave room for action.
Of the more than 1,100 players who entered the second round, more than 400 had byes, and the remaining 700 people faced off against each other.
The players in the second round were all thrilling winners in the first round, either with injuries or not strong, so they didn't cause much trouble to Zheng Yijian and Qian Jiahao.
Both men began to try to dominate the game in this round, attacking how many times in a round, how far to beat their opponents, and when to end the match.
After two rounds, many players fought two games in a row, so the tournament was arranged to take a day off.
On November 28, more than 300 people who won the second round and more than 400 people who had byes in the first round entered the third round.
In the first round of the competition, the most outstanding more than 200 kinds of players were able to continue to have byes, and the remaining more than 500 people fought against each other to determine more than 200 winners, and together with the bye players, they formed the 512 players in the fourth round.
Zheng Yijian's third-round opponent was Thai overseas Chinese Li Duoluo, who had a bye in the second round. Li Duoluo is in his thirties, learned Muay Thai at the age of six, and participated in countless boxing fights, it can be said that at this time, he is not only the peak of his martial arts, but also the end of his martial arts.
Muay Thai masters who can still be impressed after the age of thirty-five are rare!
Li Duoluo, on this stage, will send out the last dazzling starlight, and in front of him is just a handsome young man with a strong and well-proportioned figure, but far from being strong.
I really can't bear to destroy such a weak chicken with Muay Thai, but my time is running out, and those who stand in the way die!
As soon as the game began, Li Doro began to storm attacks, heavy elbows, horizontal elbows, diao elbows, and chain elbows. Zheng Yijian is also good at elbow strikes, but Li Duoluo's elbow strikes actually evolved into more than a dozen series of changes, which really taught Zheng Yijian a lesson.
In the face of a fierce Muay Thai master, Zheng Yijian did not adopt the previous strategy of striking backwards and looking for opportunities. Because he knew that once the Muay Thai master was fully deployed, the river would go down, and he would not find a chance.
After so many rounds of the competition, Zheng Yijian fought with the opponent in the ring for the first time without reservation.
The audience in the audience was immediately dumbfounded, aren't more than 200 kinds of sub-contestants having a bye, what the hell are the two on this stage?
Insiders can only snicker and pick up treasures, and they actually saw the needle-tip to Mai Mang: Muay Thai fighting Wing Chun!
