Around the beginning of June, Wang Jin bid farewell to his hometown and embarked on an arduous journey of preparation.

According to the agreement with Vasily's team, head coach Lacavich, boxing coach Soto, wrestling coach Xingtron, physical trainer Andy, assistant Cao Bin, and five sparring partners quickly assembled and rushed with him to the Terry Baker neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.

In a certain building, the elevator slowly rises and goes straight to the sixth floor of the "Time" fitness club.

Wang Jin has been to New York several times because of promotional activities, and his only impression of this place is that it is "lively", with many buildings, cars, and shops, and it seems that the pace of life is very fast, but Terry Baker has subverted his preconceived notions.

- The cobblestone paths, the cafes and the people sitting in the sun are everywhere, and the streets are fashionable and rustic, and there is a rare atmosphere of tranquility.

"There was a recent shooting near the financial district, and the impact was so bad that for safety reasons, you have to stay in your apartment at night and don't go to any bars or nightclubs," Lacavich advised. ”

Wang Jin laughed and said: "Sir, please don't scare people with public security issues, I am self-disciplined enough, and I never like to go out and hang out." ”

Rakavich was poked in the center of the matter, and continued to pretend to be serious with a straight face: "Oh, that's the best. ”

Coach Soto chimed in: "Don't worry, old man, as far as I can tell, he doesn't seem to be interested in those 'wonderful' places at all, including the offseason. ”

Andy suddenly said, "To be honest, Wang Jin is simply too self-disciplined, I even suspect that he is an alien creature!" My friend, can you tell me the meaning of your struggle? ”

Wang Jin said: "Defeat all opponents and win the world championship!" ”

Andy said, "Uh, my gosh, isn't there anything else in your life?" ”

Wang Jin said: "Of course there is, when I earn enough dollars to go back and spend it!" ”

Andy: "......"

The gym in the world is almost all the same, and the time club is similar, its interior is divided into a reception area, an aerobic area, a leisure area, a yoga area, a private training area, a rock climbing area, etc., and the venue is extremely wide.

Wang Jin walked in it with the team and found that the people who exercised covered multiple age levels, except for the main force of the young people, even the gray-haired old people could be bumped into from time to time.

Ooh!

It's an eye-opener, the power area is simply shocking, lifting, pushing, pulling, all kinds of heavy equipment are all kinds of perverted, Wang Jin even saw multiple sets of super dumbbells, and the heaviest one was seventy kilograms......

"Hi there!"

"Hello!"

Vasily's wife and manager, Nina, greeted everyone with a smile and shook hands cordially.

Wang Jin turned his head to scan and said strangely: "Why can't you see the MMA exclusive area?" ”

Nina said: "Oh, the training area is located on the seventh floor, for privacy and security reasons, our friends have specially divided a place, ordinary members are not allowed to enter, so I need to show you the way." ”

Wang Jin said: "I see, then please lead the way, lady!" ”

Nina said, "Good gentlemen, come with me......"

Passing through the corner passage at the west end of the club, opening the narrow door and stepping up the stairs, after two turns, the training hall on the seventh floor finally revealed the true face of Lushan.

The sun is shining, and the whole venue is particularly transparent under the effect of large floor-to-ceiling windows. This side is a regular strip, the area is about more than 300 square meters, the cushion elasticity is moderate, the equipment is relatively complete, what wall target, turning target, fixed target, sandbag, leather man, pear-shaped ball, battle rope, skipping rope, weight bag, tire, hammer, barbell plate, standard scale, standard boxing ring, standard iron cage and so on, but everything that can be thought of is not lacking.

"Bang ......"

On the east side, near the window, "Blacksmith" Vasily was shaking his body from side to side, bombarding a chain of fast punches like a storm. Judging by the frequency of the blows and the sound that came from them, his fists were not only penetrating, but also possessed terrifying speed that was superior to others.

Wang Jin narrowed his thin eyes and muttered, "Russian-style swing fist ......"

Compared with the orthodox boxing-style stabbing, straight, and uppercut, the Russian swing is obviously an "unconventional" boxing method, which has always been good at Eastern European athletes.

Wang Jin learned this technique back then, but later gave up because of its slightly poor accuracy and excessive movements; But Vasily's Russian pendulum broke through the convention, the suddenness was strong, the power was violent, and it almost reached the situation of "naturalness", which is really terrifying!

Terrible! What a super killer!

Nina said: "Gentlemen, I'll call Vasily to come ......."

Wang Jin shook his head and said, "Don't bother him, let's talk at noon." Please, I'll warm up and get ready for today's training. ”

Nina said, "Okay, remember to call me at any time if you have any questions." ”

Wang Jin said: "Thank you......"

Vasily occupies the position on the east side, so Wang Jin and his entourage naturally use the west range, and the two groups of people can be said to have a clear boundary and a clear distinction.

It's very strange to say, as if they made an appointment, the two of them are "back to back", you don't look at me, I don't look at you, and I'm not interested in sending someone to spy on the military and peek into each other's training methods.

- Masters are proud, and what suits others may not necessarily suit them, so why waste energy?

has just returned to the training camp, and the early stage has to focus on adaptation and adjustment, so Wang Jin's strength is only so-so.

10 minutes on the treadmill, 6 minutes for rope skipping, one group of stretching movements, one group of air strikes, three rounds of sandbag, three rounds of targeting, one group of holding and falling, one group of ground jumping, yoga relaxation......

Everyone performs their duties and cooperates tacitly, and there is basically nothing to correct.

In the interval between rests, Wang Jin still drank water and massaged with his back to Vasily, and never paid attention. He believed that Vasily, like himself, would treat the other party as a transparent person.

Cao Bin whispered: ", Lao Wa seems to like 'pull-ups' very much, a few at a while, a few at a while, and a few at a while, and I like to add a weight-bearing belt." ”

Wang Jin said: "How do you train people, don't go over and wander around." ”

Cao Bin said: "I didn't go over to wander around, I can see it with a casual sweep...... Hey, his big hammer is really awesome, it weighs an estimated fifty pounds! ”

Wang Jin sighed and closed his mouth.

……

Turkey, tuna, whole wheat lasasagna, vegetable salad (bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, carrots), 1/2 cup of almonds and walnuts, a piece of melon, 1 glass of skim milk.

At around 12 p.m., the teams finally sat down together and enjoyed their first meal at the new camp.

Vasily still has a "stuffy" temperament, and the dry sentence "Hello, welcome" is not enough, but fortunately, his wife is smart and clever, and immediately takes care of everyone's emotions, so that the atmosphere does not continue to be embarrassing.

Through Nina's introduction, Wang Jin learned an interesting fact: as a top international fighter, the members of the Vasily camp are all from Ukraine, which is indeed quite rare.

Lao Wa's head coach is a dry and thin old man named Anatoly, who has achieved nothing other than creating a "blacksmith", and he can't even search for any resume on the Internet.

Since he has already received money from others, then he must share his worries for others, Wang Jin took the initiative to ask: "Sir, Vasily has to fight twice a week, how can I adjust my style, or what are the specific precautions?" ”

Anatoly thought about it, "Young man, I think your striking is better than 'Villain' Klotty...... Vasily has won the Sambo Heavyweight Championship in the past, and his ground game doesn't need to be strengthened, you just have to do your best and play your punch and kick combinations. After all, Vasily had never met a fighter with such sharp legs as you or Klotty. ”

(Sambo: Russian, a combat sport formed during the Soviet Union, which combines kicking, hitting, throwing, holding, and grounding.) Ukraine and Russia are of the same origin. ）

Wang Jin said: "Just standing? ”

——The implication is that buddies can afford to put down each piece, and other technologies are still awesome.

Anatoly emphasized: "That's right...... Playing against you, I'm sure Vasily will learn something useful, and if he can hold off Klotti's hidden high kick, then a win over his opponent will be a good certainty. ”

Wang Jin said: "Vasily's floor boxing is extremely beautiful, and almost no one can resist it in the lower position, let's learn from each other." ”

Anatolic said, "You know him well? ”

Wang Jin said lightly: "Well, I have studied every game of Vasily, including every minute of every round!" ”

Belch!

Everyone changed color when they heard this!

Damn, you're really here to help? Why doesn't your tone sound right?

The corners of Anatoly's mouth twitched, and his expression seemed to be a little regretful.

Wang Jin continued to ask: "Gentlemen, what time of the week does your team have actual combat training?" ”

Anatoly said: "Tuesday and Friday, I have developed a fixed pattern, I think you should know, too frequent fierce battles can affect physical health......"

"Oh!"

Wang Jin looked at Vasily with meaningful eyes, "Coincidentally, today is Monday, isn't tomorrow exactly Tuesday?" I'm really looking forward to it! ”

"Stuffy gourd" Lao Wa didn't seem to hear it, he was light and breezy, he should eat and drink......
