Chapter 77: Yevsky
There is still a month to go before the World Boxing Championships, which will be held in Moscow, Soviet Union.
At the end of the 80s, the Soviet Union had not yet collapsed, but it would soon be separated into 15 countries, and Wang Ben remembered that the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 90s.
"Wang Ben, your reaction speed has almost improved, if you want to continue to improve, it is not possible to do it in the short term, so let's go to the Northeast next." On this day, Yuan Zhengtu watched Wang Ben finish practicing, and said after pondering for a while.
"Northeast? What are you doing there? It's cold in that place now, there's no need, right? Wang Ben frowned and said.
Now it is winter, the temperature in the Northeast has reached more than minus 30 degrees, Wang Ben has always lived in the south, he went to the Northeast once in his previous life, and was almost frozen into a popsicle, so when he talks about the Northeast in winter, there will be a cold feeling in his heart.
"It is necessary! It's because it's cold, so you have to adapt to that environment, and this World Championship is going to be held in Moscow, Soviet Union, so if you don't get used to it, it's hard to show your strength. Yuan Zhengtu said solemnly.
That's right, that hellish place in Moscow is so cold that if you get cold or frostbite when you go there, you won't have to fight.
The environment in the Northeast is very close to Moscow, and it is all cold and cold, and although the house is heated, you can't stay in the room all the time.
After talking to the school leaders, Wang Ben followed Yuan Zhengtu to the northeast by plane.
After coming to the Northeast, Yuan Zhengtu made a few phone calls, and seemed to be in contact with someone, it seems that Coach Yuan is no stranger to the Northeast.
The two took a bus to a remote community in Harbing, and as soon as they got off the bus, Wang Ben felt an extreme cold that could be cold to the bones.
Depend on! The people in this place in the Northeast are really amazing, how can they live in such a cold?
Wrapping the fur coat tightly on his body, Wang Ben couldn't help but sigh.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Zhengtu took Wang Ben to a hotel, and after opening the door, a guy who looked like a brown bear hugged Yuan Zhengtu warmly, and then happily led the two into the hotel.
Maozi?
Wang Ben was a little surprised, it seemed that Coach Yuan and this Mao Zi were quite familiar, and the two had a good relationship.
The title of Maozi is the common name of the Chinese for the Soviet Union (Russian), after introduction, Wang Ben knew what the name of this Maozi was, the name was too long, he did not remember it at once, only remembered the Yevsky behind.
Yevsky is the owner of the hotel, he has been in China for five years, he used to fight boxing in the United States, once he helped him in the most difficult time in the United States, so he has always been grateful, when he heard that Yuan Zhengtu is coming to the Northeast, he is very happy.
The fighting nation is really extraordinary, Yevsky is in his forties, and his muscles can be felt through thick clothes, like a brown bear, and his size is not inferior to Zhang Tie.
Wang Ben stood next to him, feeling so stressed.
Yevsky's Chinese is good, after all, he has been in the Northeast for five years, and basic communication is no problem.
Walking through the hotel lobby, Yevsky led the two to a room in the back.
The house is not small, it is heated inside, it is a training room with pear balls, dumbbells, barbells and a big sandbag, the facilities are simple but quite complete.
"Brother Yuan, is this your new fighter? He looks so thin, can he? Yevsky glanced at Wang Ben, looking a little disdainful.
Indeed, Wang Ben's height is now more than 1.8 meters, reaching 1.82 meters, but his weight is controlled at 62.5 kilograms, so he looks very thin.
"Hehe, Yevsky, don't underestimate Wang Ben, he is no worse than you were back then." Yuan Zhengtu said with a smile.
Yevsky shook his head, seeming to be in disbelief, but did not say anything, but shrugged his shoulders.
Wang Ben was a little speechless, he didn't understand why Coach Yuan brought him here, could he adapt to the Northeast environment here?
Yuan Zhengtu seemed to see Wang Ben's doubts, and whispered in his ear: "Wang Ben, I found you a good sparring partner, if he can agree to accompany you to practice boxing, I believe your strength will improve a lot." ”
"Just him?" Wang Ben frowned.
Yevsky is big, but after all, he is in his forties, and he will not hurt him if he lets go of his hands and feet, right?
Yuan Zhengtu smiled and said: "When he was young, he was a very powerful fighter, don't look at him as big and three thick, but in the American heavyweight boxing world, there are not many people who can avoid his heavy punches." ”
"Wouldn't it? Looking at him as clumsy as he died, his punching speed was definitely not much faster, how could he be so powerful? Wang Ben was surprised.
"Hehe, because he is in the ring, he is a master of acting, and his feints can almost reach the realm of fakeness." Yuan Zhengtu said with a smile.
"Ahh Feints? Wang Ben's eyes widened.
In Chinese martial arts, there are false moves and real moves, and false moves are fake moves to induce the opponent to make defensive moves, and real moves are the real means of attack.
"In addition, he not only has great feints, but also has a very strong sense of boxing, although he has failed to challenge the boxing champion, but he can challenge the heavyweight boxing champion, you can slowly experience the strength yourself." Yuan Zhengtu smiled.
Depend on! Cow man!
I didn't expect that the Mr. Brown Bear in front of him was so strong when he was young, and he actually challenged the heavyweight boxing champion, and such a sparring partner couldn't be hired even if he had money.
"Does he really want to be my sparring partner?" Wang Ben's eyes lit up a little.
Yuan Zhengtu laughed in a low voice: "It depends on whether you can impress him, if your strength performance is too ordinary, he is not interested." ”
The two whispered, and Yevsky took out two pairs of fists from the wooden box next to him, and said to Yuan Zhengtu: "Brother Yuan, although I have retired, I haven't stopped practicing boxing all these years, if this little guy you bring is not strong, I don't have time to play with him." ”
Yuan Zhengtu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yevsky, he will definitely be able to satisfy you." ”
Then, he turned to Wang Ben and whispered: "This is a good opportunity, you let go of your hands and feet, this old boy has been in the American professional boxing scene for many years, and he has a lot of dry goods in his stomach, and it depends on you how much you can absorb." ”
Throwing a pair of fist gloves to Wang Ben, Yevsky shouted: "Hey, little ghost, let's fight first to see if you are qualified to let me be your sparring partner." ”
Is there any mistake? Is this guy coming really?
My brother is only about 60 kilograms, and this big stupid bear is at least more than 100 kilograms, and he has also mixed in the professional boxing world, isn't this a clear bully?
"That...... Uncle Yev, I weigh ...... than you," Wang Ben stammered.
"Don't dare? Hmph, coward, since you don't dare, then go back to South China, I don't leave cowards here. Yevsky said dismissively.
Oh my god!
Dare to say that brother is a coward? Fight it, don't you still be afraid that you won't succeed?
Wang Ben put on his fist gloves and bit the teeth in his mouth, and a wave of anger rose in his heart, and shouted at Yevsky: "Come on! ”
