Chapter Seventy-Four: Anger
On June 22, Li Wangxiang and his entourage flew to Bangkok, Thailand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Compared with usual, Gao Yuan's team lineup this time is much stronger, not only is the head coach Wu Congjun personally accompanying the expedition, but even Mr. Liu Qian, the deputy station director of "Boxing World", is also among them.
Wu Congjun is a boxing promoter, busy with official business, Gao Yuan can rarely see his shadow, Liu Qian is even more powerful, travel and interviews all over the world, and the appearance of these two fully shows that they attach infinite importance to this war.
As soon as the heroes got off the plane, Lao Wu arranged for the staff to hit the front station to kill them quickly, and two large off-road vehicles roared to the hotel to drive them to the hotel.
Bangkok is a multicultural metropolis that coexists with both modern and old, with magnificent buildings and low-rise and narrow residential shops, and along the way, signboards in various languages are lined up and tourists of all colors are bustling.
It is said that the Thai people are still martial, and this matter is not false at all, within 40 minutes, Gao Yuan actually bumped into several modified sightseeing cars in a row, swaggering through the market, and the big screen on the body played various Muay Thai fighting pictures in a loop, and the blood was extremely enthusiastic.
The large number of Chinese in Bangkok, which is said to have reached 500,000 or 600,000, and a large number of Chinese will inevitably produce "Chinatown". Gao Yuan's place where they stayed was at the Lihua Hotel on Yaowarat Road in Chinatown.
The houses here are relatively old, but the business is particularly prosperous, and the operators are all Chinese from Yishui, which is full of strong local customs. Gao Yuan looked curiously in his elegant suite, and couldn't help asking, "Master, how much does it cost to stay here for one night?" ā
Lao Li said: "About 1,000 baht." ā
Gao Yuan said: "Thai baht? ā
Lao Li said: "The exchange rate between our RMB and Thai baht is about one to five. ā
Gao Yuandao: "One to five? That's two hundred? ā
Lao Li said: "Almost." ā
Gao Yuan said: "The price is okay." ā
Two hundred yuan for the next generation, you can't live in any decent hotel at all, let alone in the most prosperous area in a foreign country.
Wu Congjun walked in at this time and said: "Xiao Gao, hurry up and rest for ten minutes, we have to go to the press conference after dinner, there may be a lot of reporters on the scene at that time, this is your best opportunity to show yourself, and pick up a little bit." ā
Gao Yuan touched his rough black face, and said with a smile: "Coach Wu, who can see if I pick it up or not?" ā
Wu Congjun scolded with a smile: "Well, it looks a little miserable...... Well, remember to put on our T-shirt with the national flag logo. ā
Gao Yuan said: "Understood! ā
ā¦ā¦
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after collecting blood samples, Gao Yuan arrived at the Lumpinee Boxing Gym in Bangkok on time.
Lumpinee Gym is famous, arguably Thailand's most famous "Muay Thai Holy Land", it was founded in 1950, it is said that there is a military background behind it, since the day the gym existed, it has been thriving until now, the conditions here seem to be a little old, but it does not detract from its prestige, every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday night, here will be on time to stage a frenzied Muay Thai fight, crowds, spectacular.
The Thai side chose the location of the competition in this kind of place, and the ambition is obvious, which means that it is a bit sure of victory!
Of course, Gao Yuan doesn't think so!
No matter where you put it, buddy has to win, and he has to beat his opponent to death!
The format of the Asian Cup is very interesting: the low-ranked fighters must go to the country where the high-ranked fighters are located! In other words, the eight fighters will be divided into four countries and four arenas! Even if the bitter Gao Yuan eliminated Mario, he still had to run around and send him to the door to "bully people".
At half past two, the weighing ceremony and the press release of the first stop of the Asian Cup officially kicked off!
There were thousands of audiences at the scene, and there were dozens of media from all walks of life!
There's a little bit of poignancy in that they ...... It's all Thai!
Due to the miserable status quo of boxing, Gao Yuan is not well-known in China now, and because he is not a sports star in the system, let alone a well-known Olympic champion, this leads to no compatriots below coming to cheer and cheer!
When a person faces the whole world, his pressure can be imagined!
Gao Yuan's dark face was cold and calm, and he stepped on the electronic weighing instrument steadily.
The host announced in Chinese and Thai: "Gao Yuan, two hundred and thirty-one pounds!" ā
(Two hundred and thirty-one pounds, about one hundred and five kilograms.) ļ¼
Bang Bang Bang!
The Thai crowd responded with sparse applause.
After Gao Yuan finished weighing, Mario, the protagonist of the boxing match, walked up to the stage with his arms held high, and the audience immediately erupted in a burst of earth-shattering cheers! Nima, the feeling of the home field is awesome!
Mario is Chinese New Year's Eve years old, with fierce facial features and sharp eyes, he is 1.85 meters tall and has an arm span of 1.90 meters, he is an experienced veteran boxer, who has fought 45 fights in his career, lost six fights, and knocked out 21 fights. Due to the weak opponents he has defeated, he is currently ranked too low in the WBO, but of course, this does not prevent him from becoming the No. 1 heavyweight in Thailand.
"Mario, two hundred and twenty pounds!"
(Two hundred and twenty pounds, about one hundred kilograms.) ļ¼
Boom and applause.
Gao Yuan and Lao Ma came together and confronted each other and posed for the media to take pictures.
In the crowd of Wuyang, Liu Qian, the deputy director of "Boxing World", held the camera and kept pressing the shutter, pitiful, he was probably the only Chinese media on the scene, and he was still a self-funded "non-mainstream", such a situation is really sighing.
The front was busy, and the brothers Wu Congjun and Li Wangxiang on the rostrum were whispering.
Wu Congjun said: "Senior brother, Gao Yuan's weight is obviously two sizes larger!" ā
Li Wangxiang said: "Yes." ā
Wu Congjun said: "His index seems to be nearly two kilograms more than the previous game, will this affect his flexibility?" ā
Li Wangxiang said: "No! Gao Yuan is a muscle that naturally grows due to the change in height and scientific diet, not only does it not affect his speed, but his strength seems to have been strengthened! I dare to make a bold prediction...... The results of this game may be decided soon! ā
Wu Congjun said: "Is it another round?" ā
Li Wangxiang said: "It's a minute!" ā
Wu Congjun: "Uh......"
After the weighing ceremony, various media came and went, asking questions enthusiastically, no need to guess, it was all against the protagonist Mario, Gao Yuan's classmates sat in a corner, and were gorgeously ignored!
Mario held the microphone in his hand and answered one after another, full of spring breeze and triumphant.
I've been stupid for forty minutes, and the situation still hasn't gotten any better, and no media has paid attention to Gao Yuan, plus I can't understand his bird language, someone's face is getting darker and darker!
Fortunately, Mr. Liu Qian's continued raised arms below finally attracted the attention of the host, and he was forced to ask Liu Qian's question.
Liu Qian stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Gao Yuan, what tactics are you going to use to fight the Thai boxing champion?" ā
There is fire in Gao Yuan's heart! Suppressed fire! Unyielding Fury!
He replied coldly: "What tactics are you using to deal with Mario?" When it comes to making bowl noodles, I can clean him up three times and go back and forth! ā
it! Liu Qian was dumbfounded! You're so awesome, you dare to say anything!
It's too immodest...... But I like it!
After this words were translated, they spread and everyone was shocked! There was a burst of boos at the scene......
