Chapter 10: The First Amateur Boxing Match
It wasn't until Old Man Chen taught Wang Lei the exercises that his master named "Tai Chi Tuna Technique" that Wang Lei realized that he was thinking too much. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no resemblance between the practice of this breathing technique and the "longevity formula" in martial arts novels, it does not talk about true qi or any sense of meaning, nor does it talk about acupuncture points and meridians, and even the posture is very casual.
It is just a method of breathing with different rhythms, slowly inhaling the qi into the abdomen and then closing it, making the qi vibrate through the silent shouting in the body, and then exhaling the waste qi slowly and slowly, so as to achieve the purpose of exercising the viscera and activating the qi and blood.
This practice method is a bit similar to the legendary "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound" in some aspects, but when Wang Lei asked his grandfather afterwards, he was told that this had nothing to do with "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound", but was just a health practice to exercise the internal organs.
Although Wang Lei was very suspicious that this practice method could exercise the internal organs and maintain health, under the joint supervision of his grandfather and Old Man Chen, he had to practice honestly.
After just practicing for a long time, Wang Lei didn't learn how to make the qi in his body vibrate through a silent shout.
So Old Man Chen personally demonstrated to Wang Lei.
Let Wang Lei put his palm on Old Man Chen's abdomen, and Old Man Chen began to "shake".
Wang Lei immediately felt that Old Man Chen's abdomen was constantly vibrating like a drum being beaten rapidly.
The frequency of the vibrations is estimated to be more than 400 vibrations per minute.
Wang Lei was shocked.
So he had to correct his attitude and ask Old Man Chen for advice very seriously.
This "Tai Chi Breathing Technique", whether it really has the effect of exercising the viscera, activating qi and blood, repairing dark injuries and prolonging life, Wang Lei must also learn it.
Because it feels awesome!
After practicing hard for a night, Wang Lei finally learned the method of "shock".
Although the frequency of his "shocks" is far worse than that of Old Man Chen, less than thirty times per minute, and the feeling is not very obvious, at least he has learned.
According to the old man Chen, this "Tai Chi Breathing Technique" will have to be practiced for at least half a year before it will have obvious results.
For example, the amount of food will increase greatly, the urine and urine will be smooth, the person who sleeps soundly and wakes up early, the physical strength will recover faster than the average person, and the facial features will become sensitive, etc.
These are the effects of exercising and enhancing the functions of the internal organs.
There is not much time to practice, about 20 minutes a day is enough, the premise is to be persistent, practice every day, every year.
It was only twenty minutes a day, and Wang Lei didn't think it was too difficult, so he promised Old Man Chen that he would practice every night before going to bed.
Before leaving, Wang Lei told his grandfather about the "San Francisco Youth Boxing Tournament" that he was going to participate in the "San Francisco Youth Boxing Tournament" in a week and that the school's teacher Kelly did not allow him to take leave, and asked him to help.
Grandpa said: "Don't worry, I'll go to your school tomorrow to talk to the principal, it just so happens that I know the principal of your school, and he should sell me this face." You just have to play well then, and don't embarrass us Chinese. If you lose, don't think about being a professional fighter! ”
Listening to his grandfather's words, Wang Lei suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
……
Grandpa's face was really big, and the next day when he went to Mengweina Middle School to talk to the principal, the principal quickly brought Wang Lei over.
Not only was he allowed to take a vacation, but he also kindly encouraged Wang Lei to play well, and if he won the championship, the school would not only be proud of him, but also let him go to the school's wall of honor.
Wang Lei was flattered and secretly wondered if his grandfather had stuffed money into the principal.
A week passed quickly.
The venue for the "San Francisco Junior Boxing Tournament" is at San Francisco's Bay Arena.
The Bay Arena is a veteran stadium in San Francisco, built more than 30 years ago, although it looks old on the outside, but it is large enough to accommodate at least tens of thousands of spectators, and it is divided into several floors, which can set up seven or eight boxing rings at the same time for seven or eight boxing matches.
Not many fighters have signed up for the San Francisco Junior Boxing Tournament, with fewer than two hundred in the three divisions combined. The age of the contestants is basically 14 to 18 years old, more than 70 percent are high school students from local schools in San Francisco, and the remaining 30 percent are junior fighters recruited from other places and some boxing gyms.
According to a survey of San Francisco's racial proportions, it appears that about 46 percent of San Francisco's total population are non-Latino whites; Asians make up 31 percent, most of whom are Chinese; Only 14 percent of the Latino community; African-Americans are the least, at only 7 percent.
However, of the 180 participants in the San Francisco Junior Boxing Tournament, only two Asians competed.
One is Wang Lei, a Chinese, and the other is Japanese.
There were less than forty whites in the competition, and the rest were all blacks.
It seems that the highly competitive sports in the United States are basically dominated by blacks, especially boxing and basketball.
Wang Lei reported a lightweight match under 130 pounds, and before the game, he was accompanied by Sadler to the boxing club that held the event for weight measurements and drug tests, and all of them had passed.
Wang Lei asked Sadler and learned that the most fighters signed up for this fight, the lightweight division, with a total of 128 fighters. In other words, if Wang Lei wants to win the championship, he has to play at least seven games.
Luckily, this is a regular race, and it is a race that will be recorded. If Wang Lei wins all seven games, his amateur record will be seven wins, zero losses and zero draws.
There were only three days to play, seven games to play in three days, and three games to play on the first day.
If you change to a professional fighter, not many people can stand this kind of competition intensity. Luckily, this is only an amateur fight, and it is an amateur boxing match for beginners, with only three rounds per fight and only two minutes each, and even if each fight is full of three rounds, the intensity is not too great.
The Bay Stadium is set up with four boxing rings, with four pairs competing at the same time for the first two days, and it will not be changed to a single ring until the final day of the final.
There are not many people who accompanied Wang Lei to the Bay Stadium to play today, only three people.
Wang Lei's parents didn't know about Wang Lei's boxing, Wang Lei's grandfather and Old Man Chen were just spectators, and Griffith couldn't come because of something, and Bill was still in school and couldn't take leave. Wang Lei was accompanied by Sadler, Cruise, and a bone-setting doctor named Ou Yangming.
Ou Yangming is the apprentice of Wang Lei's grandfather Wang Zhengshan, and it was Wang Lei's grandfather who recommended Wang Lei to serve as a private care doctor after talking to Sadler.
Wang Lei's grandfather Wang Zhengshan accepted more than a dozen apprentices before Wang Lei was born, but most of these apprentices learned boxing from Wang Lei's grandfather, and there were only two who were really willing to learn Chinese medicine from him and succeed in learning, Ou Yangming was one of them, and he was also the youngest apprentice, just thirty years old this year.
Grandpa Wang Lei visited Sadler's boxing gym for the first time, and found that Sadler's boxing gym had too few personnel, not even a nursing doctor, and was worried that his grandson would be injured accidentally during training and no one would treat him, so he brought Ou Yangming in.
Ou Yangming's medical skills are good, at least he is very good at treating bruises and massage, but unfortunately although Wang Lei's training in the boxing gym is intense, Sadler has been watching carefully, and Wang Lei is basically rarely injured.
Therefore, Ou Yangming basically had nothing to do in the boxing gym, just massaged Wang Lei after Wang Lei's training to help Wang Lei relax his muscles and recover his strength quickly.
Sadler probably saw that Ou Yangming's massage and massage skills were very good, so he defined Ou Yangming as Wang Lei's professional masseuse, and this game also called him.
After the draw, Wang Lei's first opponent was a white teenager named Jose Denton.
Jose Denton is only fifteen years old this year, one year younger than Wang Lei, but he weighs just 130 pounds, two pounds heavier than Wang Lei, and his figure seems to be a circle bigger than Wang Lei, but the muscle lines are not obvious, and the fat ratio seems to be a little more.
Wang Lei looked in the mirror in the locker room before the game, and found that after the fat ratio decreased through training and reasonable diet in the past two months, the muscles on his body were very obvious, and the abdomen could clearly highlight the six-pack abdominal muscles, and the latissimus dorsi seemed to have become larger, developing in the direction of an inverted triangle.
Although it is not as good as Bruce Lee, Wang Lei firmly believes that only by training for another year or so, the muscles on his body will be comparable to Bruce Lee.
Before the start of the match, Sadler was more nervous than Wang Lei, constantly reminding Wang Lei of the things he must pay attention to after boxing, and telling him to relax and not be too nervous. Wang Lei was very helpless, but he couldn't shut up Sadler.
Thankfully, the game will start soon.
Sadler checked Wang Lei's gloves, protective gear and hood again before letting Wang Lei in.
When he came to the No. 4 boxing hall, Wang Lei unexpectedly found that there were not many spectators at the scene, only about 100 people, and the 100 spectators seemed very quiet, and did not cheer or boo enthusiastically when they saw him enter the arena as they did in the TV movies in his previous life.
It seems that I really think too much.
I'm just a newcomer who hasn't started fighting in my first amateur boxing match, how can I get noticed? It is estimated that these spectators just came to the stadium to see it when they were bored, and few people took this game to heart.
Such an idea made Wang Lei feel dissatisfied, and at the same time, his nervous mood relaxed a little.
In the ring, Wang met his opponent, Jose Denton.
A guy who is white and slightly chubby, and has no muscle lines at all.
Does this guy box?
Wang Lei felt a little strange in his heart, but because of Sadler's repeated instructions before, he did not dare to despise his opponent.
After the referee checked the gloves and mouthguards of both sides and emphasized the basic rules of the game, the match began as a bell rang.
Wang Lei didn't dare to attack first, but tentatively circled around Jose Denton and landed a powerless jab.
Hit!
Jose Denton didn't dodge, and after receiving a punch, he pounced on Wang Lei, and swung his back hand fiercely.
Damn, rambling?
As soon as Wang Lei retreated slightly, he avoided Jose Denton's punch, and his heart was depressed.
Is this kid pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger or does he really not know how to box?
Wang Leihu became more and more cautious under suspicion.
However, after wrestling with Jose Denton for half a minute, Wang Lei finally determined: The white kid in front of him really can't box!
Or that he knows boxing, but he hasn't fought in real combat, so he fights all the time.
Damn, dare to participate in the competition at this level?
Is his coach too arrogant and thinks that all fighters are of this level, or is he stunned by the championship prize money of the competition?
It's just a mere five hundred dollars, as for it?
Wang Lei, who felt that he had been played by Jose Denton, was a little annoyed and angry, and after avoiding Jose Denton's indiscriminate swing again, Wang Lei grabbed the gap in the counterattack and directly hit the back hand with a straight punch.
With a "bang", it hit Jose Denton in the jaw.
Jose Denton fell straight to the ground like a pillar, his eyes rolling and he fell unconscious.
Seeing this, the referee didn't even save the countdown, and directly waved his hand to announce the end of the game, and then raised Wang Lei's right arm high to announce his victory.
It was so relaxing!
Wang Lei, who won the first official match, got off the ring with excitement on his face, and accepted the celebration of Sadler and Cruise, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.
It's just that when he saw his grandfather and Old Man Chen who were the audience, he was overwhelmed by his excitement by his grandfather's words.
"It's just a garbage opponent, you can knock down the opponent with one move, but you actually dragged on for half a minute? Where did your fearless courage go? What kind of punch do you fight when you are so timid? Shame and shame! ”
Wang Lei lowered his head with a red face, and he couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground.
