Chapter 387: Shield

Zhang Guan himself didn't expect that Povetkin would admit defeat so happily and willingly offer his "first defeat". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Of course, this kind of charity exhibition match is not an official competition, and it cannot be counted as a defeat in the true sense of the word, and certainly it will not be counted in Povetkin's results.

Many people even feel that all this has been arranged in advance before the game, there is a set script, both sides are acting according to the script, symbolic performances for a few rounds, and finally Povetkin took the initiative to admit defeat, which can be regarded as completing what the guests should do.

People didn't care about the final outcome of the game, but the game was still very exciting, even from the insider's point of view, it was a thrilling game.

Povetkin was also interviewed by the media.

"Zhang Guan is a very good athlete, but also a very good boxer. His skills are very good, his judgment and adaptability to the situation are also top-notch, and more importantly, he has a big weapon that can almost make him invincible, and that is the butterfly step! It's the kind of butterfly step of boxing champion Ali! I don't even think that the vast majority of heavyweight boxers in the current squad are Zhang Guan's opponents. Fortunately, Zhang Guan did not focus on boxing, otherwise he would have probably dominated the entire boxing world! ā€

"About the butterfly step? I know there were people who thought it was just media hype, and I've seen similar comments. But after today's competition, I can be sure that Zhang Guan is using the butterfly step. I haven't experienced Ali's era, but I'm still very confident in my judgment, I believe that my judgment is fine, it's really a butterfly step! ā€

Povetkin's interview immediately sparked a heated discussion in the boxing world. Prior to this, only some boxing commentators or retired fighters claimed that Zhang Guan used butterfly steps, but whether it was or not has not been proven. In particular, the party Ali did not have any expression, so the matter of butterfly step was considered media hype.

But Povetkin's voice is proving to the world that Zhang Guan is using a butterfly step.

If other boxers say the same thing, people may not believe it and think that it is still hype, but Povetkin saying the same thing is enough to convince many people, and even many professional boxers will believe what Povetkin said.

The Olympic champion and the title of world champion have made Povetkin a recognized technical boxer, and some people even feel that Povetkin is comparable to Klitschko Jr. in terms of boxing skills, which also makes Povetkin's words more professional and convincing.

It's like people will believe what experts say, and in the field of science, experts of the average level will believe the judgment of high-level experts, and if it is at the level of a Nobel Prize winner, it is almost equivalent to the existence of a theorem in the minds of ordinary people. In professional boxing, Povetkin is a Nobel Prize-winning being, or even more advanced, saying that Zhang Guan uses a butterfly step, as if Einstein was describing a high school physics law, as long as the words are spoken, they represent the truth.

All of a sudden, Zhang Guan's "butterfly step" once again attracted the attention of the media and the discussion of boxing fans.

……

Zhuge Wenbo hurriedly ran in after knocking on the door, and immediately said loudly when he saw Zhang Guan: "Zhang Guan, there is something troublesome coming to the door again?" ā€

"What's the matter?" Zhang Guan asked a little irritably.

"It's not your butterfly step!" Zhuge Wenbo pulled a chair and sat down.

"Another butterfly step? Haven't I already been interviewed by the media? The media manuscript has been posted, and many portals have also reprinted it, and I saw it yesterday. Why are there still reporters who hold on? Zhang Guan asked.

These days, there are a lot of media who come to interview Zhang Guan, and these people are all coming for the "butterfly step", both domestic media and foreign media. All this is of course thanks to Povetkin, who personally proved that Zhang Guan used a butterfly step, which naturally attracted the media.

Zhang Guan didn't have that much time to respond one by one, so he picked a few more familiar media and accepted interviews. The news media were all hot for three minutes, and this matter had slowly subsided, but I didn't expect Zhuge Wenbo to bring new news.

"It's not the media that's here this time, it's the boxers, they want to fight you, they say they want to see your 'butterfly step'! The relevant letters have been sent to me. Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Who is so boring? Wait, you say 'them'? What do you mean? More than one person? Zhang Guan asked.

"Of course there is more than one, let me give you a reminiscence." Zhuge Wenbo took out a list from his bosom and continued: "There is Sykes, an American boxer nicknamed 'Bull', who has a current record of 25 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss; 'Tiger' Thompson has a current record of 31 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss; 'Rock' Raman has a current record of 45 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses; and 'Fast Man' Chambers has a current record of 35 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss......

Zhuge Wenbo listed seven or eight people in a row, many of which were names that Zhang Guan had never heard of, and in terms of combat records, almost all of them were well-known boxers.

The World Boxing Association has regulations on the protection of boxers, even if the boxer is unscathed after the game, he must have a mandatory rest for a period of time, at least half a month, and some boxers who are injured in the game, the mandatory rest period will even be as long as half a year, so boxers with more average fighting ability can't fight two or three games a year. Under normal circumstances, it takes about five or six years for a boxer to fight a full thirty fights. As a professional boxer, if you fight for five or six years and only lose one, even if you can't be called a boxing champion, you can be regarded as a "quasi-boxer" level.

And now, such a large group of "boxing champions" or "quasi-boxing champions" level people have to come to Zhang Guan to see the butterfly step, and they all have to fight with Zhang Guan, which is indeed a very troublesome thing in Zhang Guan's opinion.

Zhang Guan is not worried that he will not be able to beat, he has enough confidence to defeat these "bulls", "tigers", "rocks" and "fast people", but Zhang Guan does not have so much energy to accept their challenges. Besides, Zhang Guan himself is not a belligerent, if he plays basketball, football, or tennis twice, this kind of sports that think of ways to beat people and think of ways to avoid being beaten is really not in line with Zhang Guan's preferences.

"All of them refused?" Zhang Guan immediately shook his head and vetoed the idea. This kind of thing, simple and rude rejection is obviously a bad way to do things. Playing a game is not a matter of principle, and saying "no" to all of them may be the solution to the problem, but it is definitely not the best solution from the perspective of daily life and professional public relations.

"Say yes to them all, and beat them up one by one into dogs?" Zhang Guan frowned, this is a solution, since they want to see the butterfly step, then come one by one, and when they are all beaten, they will be honest. However, this is probably a last resort for Zhang Guan.

"Why don't you just promise a few of them to call them casually?" Zhang Guan immediately felt that this was very inappropriate. Promising who and not agreeing to anyone is not a very easy thing to do. If you promise the "bull" and do not agree to the "tiger", it is equivalent to offending the "tiger", and if you promise the "rock" and do not agree to the "fast man", it is equivalent to offending the "fast man". Besides, even if you invite guests to drink, it may not be exhaustive, isn't the Queen Mother's peach banquet just because Sun Wukong was not invited, and in the end there was a big mess!

Zhang Guan pondered for a long time and found that he really had no good way, so he asked: "How do our public relations side decide to deal with it?" ā€

"The best solution given by the PR side is to find a shield as much as possible." Zhuge Wenbo opened his mouth and said.

"Shields? What do you mean? Zhang Guan asked.

"It's just to find a reasonable excuse to shirk it." Zhuge Wenbo explained.

"That's not easy, or I'll go to the men's basketball team next week to report and play the Turkish Men's World Basketball Championships!" Zhang Guan said immediately.

"What about after the World Men's Basketball Championships? What are you going to use as a shield? Zhuge Wenbo asked with a smile.

"There will be the Asian Games after the men's World Basketball Championships." Zhang Guan continued.

"What about after the Asian Games?" Zhuge Wenbo sighed, and then said: "Don't forget about Chagaev, last year when you were still driving an F1 car, he was going to fight with you, and then you used the Winter Olympics as an excuse, didn't you still not push it over?" The Winter Olympics have just ended, and people are coming to the door again! In the end, you still have to agree, although Chagaev was injured and didn't make it, but Povetkin came! ā€

Zhuge Wenbo said this, leaned back in the chair, and continued: "What a lesson from the past! You must know that people who can become professional boxers are very persistent, or stubborn, and not the kind of people who are willing to back down if you procrastinate! ā€

"It's also said that if you are the kind of person who is lazy, you can't become a professional boxer. It's the same in life, those who love to hit people are often more stubborn and unwilling to compromise. Zhang Guan shrugged his shoulders, and then asked, "Then the public relations side gave me this bad idea?" ā€

"The PR side is for you to find a reasonable excuse to be a shield, not just a random excuse." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "The plan proposed by the public relations side is to find a top boxer as your shield. This means that you have to make an appointment with the top boxer, so that the other challengers will have to wait first, and as long as you and the famous boxer don't fight for a day, they will have to wait. ā€

"Isn't that still a delay? What's the difference between this and what I said about using the Men's World Basketball Championship as a shield? Zhang Guan asked.

"Of course there is a difference, and the difference is huge. I'll give you an example, like the fight of the century between Tyson and Holyfield, where they fought two times in two years, and they didn't fight anything else in between, just because none of the other boxers challenged them because they weren't in the same class as they were. In the time they were running, if someone wanted to challenge Tyson, he had to be at least Holyfield, and if someone wanted to challenge Holyfield, he had to be a fighter of Tyson's level. If you don't have that level and try to challenge it, you will become a laughing stock. Zhuge Wenbo opened his mouth to explain.

Zhang Guan nodded in understanding, just like a lion and a tiger fighting, and all the beasts that can intervene are black bears, such as jackals and foxes, even if they want to get a piece of the pie, they don't have that strength. Thinking of this, Zhang Guan opened his mouth and said, "Tyson and Holyfield are boxers of that level? How many could there be in that era? Wouldn't that be the same as the two of them playing! ā€

"There was also someone who intervened at the time, and that was your coach Lewis. During the two battles between Tyson and Holyfield, Lewis challenged Tyson, but was rejected by Tyson. In fact, in that era, apart from Tyson and Holyfield, only Lewis could reach that level. Zhuge Wenbo continued: "So what you have to do is to find a top boxer to play a scene with you." ā€

"Who is the right person to look for?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"The most suitable person must be Klitschko Jr.!" Zhuge Wenbo continued: "If little Klitschko can play a scene with you, it will be the best. Klitschko Jr. is a hegemonic presence in the heavyweight boxing world, and if you fight each other, other boxers will definitely make way for Klitschko Jr., and I believe that no boxer will steal the limelight from Klitschko Jr. ā€

"Will this have an effect on Klitschko Jr.?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.

"No, you're not a professional boxer, you have an appointment with Klitschko Jr., at most it is an exhibition match, and a commercial performance with a singer is the same, and the boxing association's mandatory rest regulations will not affect the exhibition match. So the most important thing is whether Klitschko Jr. is willing to help with this. If you think this option is feasible, I will contact Klitschko Jr.'s agent immediately. Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Well, just do as you say. I hope Klitschko Jr. is willing to give me face. Zhang Guan said.

……

Ukraine.

"Zhang Guan wants to use me as a shield?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Klitschko's face.

"Vladimir, I think I might as well promise Zhang Guan. We don't have anything to lose, at most we just send a press release in response, but we can gain a friend. It's always good to have one more friend, and Zhang Guan is the greatest athlete in the world after all, giving him a face, and he will definitely be rewarded in the future. The agent spoke.

"What can he give me in return?" Klitschko Jr. pursed his lips and continued: "I heard that he can also do Ali's butterfly step?" Hum! What is the butterfly step! Boxing champion Ali? The greatest boxing champion of all time? I wasn't born in the same era as me! Sooner or later, I'm going to surpass Ali and I'm going to be the greatest boxing champion of all time! ā€

When Klitschko Jr. said this, he turned to his agent and said, "If you refuse them, I won't make an appointment with him!" If Butterfly Step is really that powerful, then let him meet those challengers! (To be continued.) )
