Lin Ye rushed back to the Victory Boxing Gym. In the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, Jenon and Norton were chatting with an old woman.

Seeing Lin Ye coming back, Jenon said, "Lin, you're back." This is Ali's wife, and she has come to you specifically. ”

Lin Ye walked closer and said, "Hello." At the same time, my heart was full of doubts.

Ali's wife was dressed in a white coat and her hair was white but neatly combed. With a kind and peaceful smile on his face: "Hello, young man from Huaguo. Congratulations on getting the belt. I'm here because Ali wants to see you. But he is not in good health and it is inconvenient to go out, so he asked me to come to you. ”

"Ali wants to see me?" Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then his heart swelled with ecstasy, and then he was infinitely nervous.

Who is Ali? He is the greatest boxing champion of all time in this world, and the brightest star in boxing history.

In the 20 years of his career, he won the heavyweight title 22 times. His face is printed on the WBC's boxing belt. His butterfly step, known to his opponents as the devil's step, has been lightning fast to knock down one powerful opponent after another, from Sonny Liston to Foreman to Fraser. At the age of 25 at his peak, he was banned for four years for his anti-war manifesto, stripped of his title, he didn't fight a fight, his opponent was the U.S. government, but in the end he won.

After he returned to the ring, Ali was not as strong as he used to be. Because of the weight gain, it was difficult to see the butterfly steps in the ring, and Ali and the then heavyweight king of boxing, George Foreman, at the age of 24, engaged in a jungle battle that went down in history. After defeating Foreman, Ali won the title of boxing champion ten times and dominated the boxing world.

Compared with Tyson, who has a similar experience, Tyson was once sentenced to prison for a crime. After Tyson's comeback, he gained weight and his strength dropped rapidly. The once fast offensive and defensive turns, the speed of lightning, the nimble footsteps and dodges are gone. After that, Tyson lost to Holyfield and Lewis successively, and was annihilated in the boxing world little by little, and finally no one cared.

Superhuman talent, legendary life, strong will, indomitable spirit. When Ali, suffering from Parkinson's disease, lifted the Olympic torch with trembling hands at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, that scene deeply shocked everyone's hearts. No athlete in history can have such an infectious energy as Ali, who has become a spirit, a symbol.

Compared with Ali, Lin Ye felt his infinite insignificance.

He stammered a little and asked, "Well, when can I go to see Ali?" ”

Mrs. Ali smiled and said, "Right now." ”

"Ah, wait a minute." Lin Ye immediately ran upstairs, searched for a long time, and turned out a suit of clothes that he thought was decent. Putting on his clothes, Lin Ye ran to the bathroom again, washed his face, combed his hair, and wiped facial cleanser. When everything was in order, Lin Ye ran to the mirror again, looked at it carefully, checked it, and then went back downstairs to see Ali, of course he had to get his image right.

Along the way, Lin Ye's heart was very nervous. The car drove all the way to an area and entered a villa.

The villa is beautiful, with two tall walnut trees growing next to it, and in front of the villa, there is a garden full of large and small flowers. Lin Ye followed closely in front of Mrs. Ali and walked into the villa.

In the living room, on a sofa, sat an old man.

He sat on the couch, his face a little thin and wrinkled. Ali heard Lin Ye coming in and opened his eyes. Those eyes contain vicissitudes, wisdom, and perseverance.

"Hello, young man from Huaguo." Ali looked at Lin Ye and smiled slightly.

Lin Ye suppressed the "bang" heartbeat, and also said: "You, hello, Ali, I'm a little excited to see you." ”

"Take it easy, lad. Good luck with you winning the WBO boxing belt, and your fight on the stage reminds me of the fight I had with Foreman more than 30 years ago, and we were really similar to each other. ”

Lin Ye smiled and wanted to speak, but couldn't remember what to say for a while.

"You must be wondering why I'm looking for you." Ali said, his eyes revealing memories, "Twenty-nine years ago, I went to Huaguo. It was such a beautiful place, I went to the Forbidden City and went to see the Great Wall. In Beijing, I met that great man. The meeting with Deng is something I will never forget. When I shook hands with him, the American media commented: 'A pair of giant hands that turn the tide and a pair of invincible hands are tightly clenched together!' ”

"We talked a lot, and Deng was the smartest and most courageous person I've ever met. At that time, he said to me, 'Boxing can also be a bridge between the Chinese and American peoples.'" At that time, I said to him, 'If Huaguo produces the first world boxing champion, then I will take him as my apprentice and teach him all my skills.' ’”

"But time flies, and it seems like it happened yesterday. But 29 years have passed, and I have not waited for the birth of the world boxing champion in China. My health was getting worse and worse, and I thought I wouldn't be able to fulfill this promise for the rest of my life. It wasn't until yesterday that I heard that you had won the WBO championship. My heart was stirred, so I asked my wife to find you. ”

"Lin Ye, I want to accept you as my apprentice. Would you like to? ”

It turns out that this is the case, everything is clear to Lin Ye. Facing Ali, Lin Ye said solemnly: "I am willing." "Being Ali's apprentice, even Lin Ye never dared to dream of it before, but now, this has become a reality. Lin Ye secretly said in his heart, I will definitely go all out to become the greatest boxing champion in this boxing world, and I will not let you down!
