Chapter 229: Home Field Advantage
229. Home field advantage
After a night's rest, the next morning, everyone washed up and packed up their things and walked into the mountain city gymnasium. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Shancheng Gymnasium can accommodate nearly 40,000 people and is also open-air, but fortunately, it has been sunny these days, and the ring has been placed in the center of the green grass.
The reason why the front match was arranged in Shancheng this time was because of the cooperation between the domestic boxing sports management center and WBC. They have been working together for a decade and have had a series of intercontinental title challenges.
The sky cleared, the sun dispelled the cold wind blowing from the Jialing River, and the mountain city became warm.
Walking into the gymnasium, Dongfang Sheng looked at the faces of the mountain city people, and listened to them speak familiar dialects, feeling extremely cordial. This is his home field, Dongfang Sheng thought to himself.
Around the ring, there were already thirty or forty staff members methodically manipulating various instruments, and volunteers were wiping down the seats.
The match started at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, with a total of four matches, with Dongfang winning being the second. When I walked into the warm-up room, I found that the fighters for the first fight were already in place.
The first is a fight in the Asaha division, and one of the fighters is Yang Huilian, a native of Huaxia and nicknamed Savage, and the other fighter is an RB native who is nicknamed Ichiro Ozawa, a master of ninjutsu.
Yang Huilian has previously introduced that he is the third in the PFP Chinese Boxing Rankings. Ichiro Ozawa is RB's new super featherweight king, known for his technical maturity and agility.
Outside, the audience has begun to enter the venue one after another, and there are special volunteers on the scene to guide everyone to find seats, and there are security guards to maintain order.
When Yang Huilian and Ichiro Ozawa appeared, the stadium was already full, and the stadium of nearly 40,000 people was full of flowers. Everyone is wearing down jackets and cotton clothes, and there are all kinds of flowers and greens. The audience is more of a family, the elderly, children, men and women, and it is estimated that they will watch this as a concert.
But whatever, the organizers get the tickets, the fighters get the appearance fee and honors, and the audience just has a good time.
Ichiro Ozawa was the first to appear, and it is estimated that the audience thought it was a fighter from his country, and they all cheered and applauded. When Yang Huilian appeared, everyone was a little confused, as if this was our domestic one, I heard that the first game was with RB people, could it be that we just welcomed the devil?
As if to make up for it, the cheers and shouts of the audience became louder, and bursts of sound filled the sky.
In the warm-up room, Wang Xueming sighed: "I didn't expect the domestic boxing atmosphere to be so good, and I no longer have prejudice against RB people, and I also respect them." No wonder as early as 08, Mr. Tang Jin concluded that the future boxing market was in China. ”
Dongfang Sheng and Zhang Da glanced at each other, and they almost couldn't help laughing.
If Wang Xueming knew that 90% of these viewers didn't understand boxing, it was estimated that he would cry.
Joy was also sighing: "Yes, the audience of boxing in China is so wide, the elderly and children watch it, and they are so welcome, I can't imagine it."
"Ahem!" Dongfang Sheng coughed lightly and said, "Let's take a look first, many viewers don't know much about boxing, they just want to know the result, or the knockout during the game." ”
Wang Xueming nodded and said: "Normal, as long as they like the blood of boxing, they will naturally like the art of boxing after understanding boxing."
Zhang Dadao: "Hey, to put it bluntly, our audience likes to see our own fighters win, and the others don't like to watch it."
"Uh......"
Wang Xueming and Joey were dumbfounded by Zhang Da's realistic words.
Dongfang Sheng and Zhang Dahaha laughed.
"Master, it's time to prepare." A staff member walked over and said with a smile.
"Hey, okay."
The first game quickly passed a round, and the fight was not intense, two minutes per round, and there were not a few confrontations, and the audience was a little unsold.
Not long after, there was a cheer outside.
"What's the situation?" Wang Xueming was a little unclear.
Zhang Da glanced at it and said, "That Ozawa Ichiro is always hiding around, and the audience doesn't like this style."
"Oh!"
Wang Xueming's voice was very calm, and Zhang Da said curiously: "Coach, you seem to think it's normal?"
"Of course, regardless of whether you understand boxing or not, the public naturally likes boxers with fierce fighting styles, which is normal."
Zhang Da nodded when he heard this. Seeing Dongfang Sheng starting to prepare to undress, Zhang Da hurriedly ran over to help.
Wrap bandages, wear crotch guards, and wear shoes.
After it was done, Dongfang Sheng first jumped around, hit the air for a while, and found his feelings, and then put on his gloves and hit the punching bag.
After that, I sat on the couch and watched the game in front of me.
Today's match is eight rounds, and at this time it has reached the sixth round, and judging from the current score, Yang Huilian has a slight advantage.
After the audience figured out that he was a domestic player, as long as he attacked, it was naturally a burst of applause. As long as Ichiro Ozawa stepped back and dodged, the audience was bound to boo.
Under such home pressure, Ozawa quickly gave up the style of play he was good at, and actually chose to fight hard with Yang Huilian, who became a savage. Soon, in the midst of the attack. Yang Hui knocked him to the canvas with a left and right hook.
Ozawa, with tenacious willpower, got up, and the audience let out a burst of regret.
In one round, Ozawa fell behind by a large score. He had to fight hard, otherwise he would have no hope of winning.
The audience began to applaud the scene of such a hard fight, and they liked this feeling, full of tension and excitement.
In the end, Yang Huilian failed to knock out Ichiro Ozawa, but conquered nearly 40,000 viewers at the scene with his fierce play.
"Savages!"
"Savages!"
"Savages!"
The earth-shattering cheers resounded through the mountain city gymnasium.
When the referee raised Yang Huilian's hand and announced that he had won, Yang Huilian was also very excited. He successfully defended his title and won the WBC Asia-Pacific Intercontinental Championship belt.
He's not under 20. His match was the defense of the Intercontinental Championship, and Ichiro Ozawa was defeated as the most popular challenger, and his gold belt was a little more golden.
Next up is the Dongfang Win match. Today's winner will challenge the original Young Asia-Pacific Continental Champion in the pre-match.
By the time the host began to call the fighters in, Dongfang Sheng had already walked up the aisle with confident steps.
Behind him, Zhang Da and the others looked forward like each other.
As soon as they left the passage, the audience was already cheering.
"Master, Master."
"The East is undefeated, the East is undefeated!"
"The sun rises in the east, only I am undefeated!"
"Nine heavens and ten earths, I am the only one!"
"Oooh oh ......"
Dongfang Sheng smiled and stretched out his fists to wave at the audience, attracting even more excited shouts.
Audience area.
"See, this is the world champion of "Heroes Fight" before, and then entered the professional boxing world, and now he can compete for the intercontinental boxing championship belt."
"Wow, he's Dongfang Sheng, I heard that he's from our mountain city, really?"
"Then there is still a fake, Chongming County, I have also been to Chongxuguan!" The audience was a little smug.
"Rushing to the void? What's that? ”
"Cut, I don't know." This person laughed shamefully, first despised the person next to him, and then slowly explained, "It is an old Taoist temple in Chongming County, where Dongfang Sheng practiced boxing when he was a child." There are masters in this Taoist temple, and those Taoist masters have good kung fu. ”
Listening to this person's miraculous blowing, the people next to him all asked. (To be continued.) )
