Chapter 22: The Battle of the Final Four
Wednesday, sunny and cloudless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early in the morning, Gao Yuan moved forward along the tree-lined paths on the outskirts of the resort, and as he ran, he kept punching, dodging, and shaking his shoulders, sometimes raising his legs and stepping on the spot at a high frequency, and sometimes sprinting in a straight line with all his might.
"In my heart, you are the heaviest, joys and sorrows, life and death, you use tenderness to exchange for my pride, in my heart, you are the heaviest, my tears, rushing to the sky, the next life should also be the hero, return to the sunset......"
With the singing of "Farewell My Concubine" in the headphones, Gao Yuan felt that his mood was agitated, and his exercise was particularly powerful. He is no fan, but he still loves this impassioned melody, especially the bold drum sound of the intro, which is a classic and heart-wrenching. Takato is not yet qualified to ask the organizers to play the designated music for the fighters, but he believes that he will one day conquer the world with this song.
The activity started, and he was sweating profusely, and Gao Yuan walked back slowly.
In the room, Coach Li Wangxiang was chatting with Yang Kai.
Yang Kai said: "How is it possible? How do you think Holyfield will win? Douglas just beat Tyson, and he is the winner in everyone's mind! ”
Li Wangxiang said: "Douglas defeated Tyson, there was a certain amount of chance, and his state was up and down, full of many uncertainties, of course I am optimistic about the more skilled Holyfield." ”
Yang Kai saw Gao Yuan coming in, and raised his voice: "Hey! Eighth, which one do you say is better, Glass or Holyfield? ”
Gao Yuan's head was a little short-circuited: "Who?" ”
Yang Kai said: "What's the daze, on the 25th of this month, the new world boxing champion Douglas will meet the challenge of Holyfield in Las Vegas, have you forgotten?" ”
Douglas vs Old Huo?
To paraphrase a golden sentence that frequently appears in online articles: The wheel of history is rolling forward, and no one can reverse it.
Douglas immediately became a sweetheart after knocking down the unbeatable boxing champion Tyson in Tokyo, and his value doubled, everyone wanted to take a bite, and Lao Huo finally won the right to challenge after the team's efforts. After that, he successfully beheaded Douglas and wrote his own legend! A new king is about to be baked.
Gao Yuan coughed and covered up: "I haven't forgotten." ”
Yang Kai said: "Then you can express your opinion." ”
Gao Yuandao: "I basically agree with the coach's opinion and am more optimistic about Holyfield...... Because Douglas can't control his mouth, he is often overweight......"
Yang Kai said: "Huh? How do you know about this kind of thing? It's not published in "Boxing World", right? ”
Gao Yuan's eyes flickered, "Uh...... Quite simply, if you look at his recent game videos, there is a huge disparity in weight figures...... That's enough to tell! If a fighter can't even control his own weight, then he is not far from defeat! ”
Yang Kai pouted: "Cut!" Stick! ”
Gao Yuan said: "Are you not convinced? ”
Yang Kai said: "Nonsense! ”
Gao Yuan said: "Then do you dare to bet a hundred yuan?" ”
Yang Kai said: "Bet on it, don't you be afraid that you won't succeed!" ”
Gao Yuan smiled evilly: "Thank you, thank you." ”
……
After lunch, the draw ceremony was held at three o'clock on time.
The only remaining four heavyweight boxers are Gao Yuan, Chen Zhenjie, Xiong Hui, and Guo Haibo.
The results are as follows: Gao Yuan VS Xiong Hui, Chen Zhenjie VS Guo Haibo, Gao Yuan and Chen Zhenjie passed by again.
Xiong Hui, 1.85 meters tall, weighing 230 pounds, with a professional record of 10 wins and 2 losses, eliminated a fighter from Nanhu in eight rounds in the last fight, he is 24 years old this year, a club boxer, with more delicate skills and a relatively slippery style.
Since Yang Kai's game was at the back, the coaching team Wu Congjun, Li Wangxiang, and two other assistants all came, and they surrounded Gao Yuan and explained tactics and precautions.
Winning and losing, Su Zijian and Cheng Ming, who lost, returned to the gym in the morning, and now Gao Yuan is the protagonist and has high hopes from everyone.
Wu Congjun finally said: "Don't be nervous, although Xiong Hui has more experience than you, but his strength is a little worse, you try to rush forward, force him to fight positional battles, punch more, punch hard, and don't give him a chance to breathe......"
Gao Yuan said: "I understand. ”
He stepped aside and asked Yang Kai to cooperate with him to hit the target, and the two of them warmed up together.
Li Wangxiang stared at their shadows and said thoughtfully: "I said in the army, what's the matter with you?" Who the hell is nervous? Gao Yuan looked very calm. ”
Wu Congjun laughed at himself: "Uh...... The older you get, the less daring you become. Mainly because of the two defeats yesterday, which hit me a little harder, and now I might be a little nervous. Let's ...... the gym I can't afford to lose......"
Li Wangxiang took out a cigarette and sniffed it on his nose: "Although relax, Gao Yuan knows what to do, this kid is keen to attack, and he loves middle-distance combat, the game should have a result soon, and he won't be entangled for too long." ”
Wu Congjun said: "You have so much confidence in him? ”
Li Wangxiang said: "Yes." ”
……
At five o'clock, Gao Yuan VS the top four boxer Xiong Hui, the battle started on time.
"Dang!"
Round 1.
The moment the bell rang, Gao Yuan's opponent Xiong Hui quickly hugged his fist and moved first to hit a left jab.
Yesterday, Gao Yuan put down Qiu Dong in ten seconds, and this matter certainly attracted the extreme attention of Xiong Hui's team, and they prepared accordingly.
Takato nimbly tilted his head, dodged a blow, and then returned a jab.
The advantage of height and arm length is not covered, his artillery fire covers a wider area and has more power. Within fifteen seconds, the two tested each other more than ten times, Xiong Hui didn't even touch a single hair, but he received two long punches in the face, forcing him to keep beating and change direction in a wide range.
This is the problem with technical fighters, as long as they see that the situation is not good, they will start the escape mode.
Gao Yuan was very calm, and moved his long legs to pursue.
He bent over and shrunk his back, covered his face with his fists, shook his upper body rapidly when he charged, and his eyes were fixed on the opponent's movements, which was as fast as flowing water, quite a bit of peak Tyson's taste. Of course, his current level is still far from the level of the boxing champion, but against a third-rate fighter, it is still more than enough.
Xiong Hui's left and right straight punches kept missing, and his confidence was greatly hit.
He fought and walked, was intercepted by Gao Yuan twice, and finally retreated into the corner of his fist.
Fist corners are extremely dangerous places, and if a fighter is blocked, there are usually two ways to get out: one is to hug and wait for the referee to separate them, or the other is to dive sideways and circle them out. Xiong Hui didn't have such good skills, and he was afraid of the lofty heavy straight punches, so he had to choose the first one. He lowered his head, ready to lean over and hug Gao Yuan "affectionately......
Generally speaking, tall boxers with long arms, in the state of ultra-close distance, due to space constraints, often seem to have few tricks and cannot stretch, but Gao Yuan is an exception.
He keenly stepped back and hunched his head against his opponent's head, unleashing a sudden small combination of hooks.
This is a stunt that Gao Yuan has worked hard to practice every day!
Hand-to-hand combat, fist to flesh.
Gao Yuan loves hooks, and even more so loves to beat the opponent's ribs...... The effect of beating here is much more terrifying than beating other places! As long as you hit accurately, a punch can make people's heads short-circuit, have difficulty breathing, and cry dad and mother!
One desperately pulls to hug, and the other vigorously twists his waist like a beast to break free, and forcibly swings the "life-threatening double hook"!
In the chaos, Xiong Hui suffered a heavy blow to the ribs, and when he landed, he was out of breath, and even his facial features were distorted in pain.
When a person suffers a heavy blow to his waist and abdomen, his hands will unconsciously sag, and then his chin and face will be exposed...... Gao Yuan really saw it and expertly threw a sandbag-sized left hand hook!
"Bang!" "Oh!"
The combination of punches to the waist and a punch to the face was so fierce that Xiong Hui fell down in response, and he lay on the ground and rolled and convulsed, as if he had been hit by a strong current......
Gao Yuan slowly stepped back, deliberately looking at the clock in the distance: one minute and three seconds.
He was very satisfied, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, hey, the battle of champions and runners, buddy is here!
In the spectator seat, the members of the team applauded vigorously and cheered. Wu Congjun, the head of the head coach, was relieved, clenched his fists vigorously, and let out a long breath...... Gao Yuan really won again! And winning is particularly reassuring and hearty......
