Chapter Eighty-Four: The Reason for McCollum's Madness
The next day, major American newspapers and magazines reported on the match between Wang Lei and McCollum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, these newspapers and media are all puzzled by McCollum's madness, just like Wang Lei, and have speculated whether Wang Lei and McCollum have a big feud, otherwise they can't explain why McCollum and Wang Lei's game is similar to the previous game?
Eventually, a newspaper broke the story.
This newspaper is the Washington Post, one of the most widely circulated newspapers in the United States.
One of the Washington Post's sports reporters happens to be McCollum's hometown, and he knows McCollum not only well, but also his coaches and assistants.
After the reporter's side knocks, the reason why McCollum was "crazy" in the game was finally dug out from the mouths of McCollum's coach and assistants.
McCollum's self-esteem has been hurt!
The reason is that after Wang Lei's challenge to Duran was rejected last year, he had to change his opponent, and his agent Arum successively found IBF boxing champion Jackson and WBA boxing champion McCollum, but in the end Wang Lei chose to fight Jackson first.
McCollum felt uncomfortable because of this.
Jackson, this guy was obviously my defeated opponent, and he was knocked out by me in two rounds, what do you mean by choosing Jackson instead of fighting me? Do you look down on me?
(Wang Lei said that he was very innocent about this: This is obviously your agent's request, let me beat Jackson first and then fight you, okay!) )
What made McCollum even more uncomfortable, and finally developed into a rampant resentment after Wang Lei defeated Jackson.
After Wang Lei defeated Jackson, the match with McCollum was scheduled, but no media was optimistic that he would beat Wang Lei, and even the odds offered by Fu Cai were optimistic that Wang Lei would beat him, and the odds for him to beat Wang Lei were actually 1 to 4.2.
This is really unbearable and unbearable!
Obviously, I am also a boxing champion, or a boxing champion with an undefeated record, with a KO rate of up to 26 fights, and I knocked out Jackson in two rounds, which is one round less than Wang Lei, why are you not optimistic about me?
(Wang Lei: Why don't you think you're bullish on you, doesn't Ben Whyson's idiot think you're better than me?) )
What happened after that made McCollum even more unbearable, because Leonard raised his right hand in the ring to Wang Lei in the audience after defeating Hagler, causing Duran to agree to Wang Lei's challenge, and as a result, all the media began to report on Wang Lei's fight with Duran.
Just buy a newspaper and flip to the sports section to see articles predicting the match between Wang Lei and Duran in August, and how they will play each other. As for Wang Lei's match with McCollum in May, basically no newspaper talked about it, as if all the media newspapers had selectively forgotten about him.
Or that he didn't take his match with Wang Lei seriously, no one thought that he could beat Wang Lei, and regarded this game as a warm-up match for Wang Lei and Duran.
McCollum, who has always had strong self-esteem, was going crazy, and he couldn't blame the media and newspapers, so he turned his anger to Wang Lei, thinking that it was all Wang Lei's fault, and decided to do his best to defeat Wang Lei in the game, so that the media and newspapers would pay attention to him McCollum from now on.
So in the game, McCollum found out that he was as crazy as a desperate Saburo!
It's a pity that McCollum didn't expect Wang Lei to not only be able to respond forcefully in the face of his crazy attacks, but also to hold out longer than him.
McCollum's defeat was due to Wang Lei's perverted physical fitness. No one thought that Wang Lei would be able to fight him hard-to-head until the eighth round, and his physical strength did not decrease at all, but his physical strength was completely exhausted.
Seeing this analytical article on the sports page of the Washington Post, Wang Lei was speechless.
No wonder McCollum guy was so desperate in the game, my brother thought he was on drugs!
But it's my business, if you want to blame it, it's normal for you to be too low-key, and the media doesn't pay attention to or even ignore you!
Leaving McCollum behind, Wang Lei returned to school and concentrated on preparing for the college entrance examination.
The United States also has the college entrance examination, but unlike the domestic college entrance examination, there are two kinds of college entrance examinations in the United States, one SAT and the other is the ACT, which are not only one of the admission conditions of American universities, but also one of the main bases for American universities to issue scholarships and comprehensive ability test standards for students.
Of course, American students don't have to take both of the college entrance examination, only one is enough.
The college entrance examination at Monvina High School, where Wang Lei studied, was the SAT exam.
In the United States, high schools in the coastal areas accept the SAT test basically, while the ACT test is mainly concentrated in the Midwest and South of the United States.
SAT is the English abbreviation of Scholastic Ability Assessment Test, which is administered by the College Board. SAT scores are an important reference for high school students from all over the world to apply for studies and scholarships at prestigious universities in the United States.
The SAT test lasts only 3 hours and 45 minutes, and only tests three subjects: reading, math, and writing, with a maximum score of 2400.
Although American universities do not admit students as score-only as in China, they pay more attention to the comprehensive strength and recommendation of students, like Wang Lei, who became a professional boxing champion at the age of eighteen, wrote a best-selling novel and several blockbuster movie scripts, and has a net worth of more than 100 million high-quality students, even if his SAT score is low, it is estimated that there are a lot of colleges willing to ask him.
It's a pity that Wang Lei promised his mother that he would be admitted to the top 20 schools in the United States.
This is one of the conditions for Wang Lei to win his mother's support for his boxing.
Mom's meaning: Even if Wang Lei goes to college and doesn't enroll, at least he has to get a degree certificate back, so that it will be easy for him to find a job after he retires from boxing in the future, and it will make her face glow. When I return to my hometown in the future and go to China to have a look, I will also have the capital to brag about, and I will have a lot of face!
His mother's thoughts made Wang Lei speechless, daring to love in his mother's heart, he became the world boxing champion, wrote several blockbuster movie scripts and novels, and earned a net worth of nearly 300 million yuan, which is not as good as a school certificate from a famous university to make her have face!
Another request of my mother is to let Wang Lei marry Zhou Yuwei before she is twenty years old, and let her hold her grandson as soon as possible.
Wang Lei, who didn't want to get married so early, had to try his best to meet his mother's first condition and strive to be admitted to the top 20 universities in the United States.
Before boxing, Wang Lei's ambition was to be admitted to the University of Southern California. If nothing else, just because USC's film school is the most famous in the country.
But now that he has learned to write scripts and has written the screenplays for several blockbuster movies, his mind about admission to the University of Southern California has changed.
Anyway, in addition to boxing, my brother only writes scripts and novels, and he doesn't plan to be a director or actor, so it's not necessary to be admitted to the film school of the University of Southern California!
Besides, the University of Southern California is ranked outside the top 20 in the United States, and it seems that it has never been in the top 20, so it can't meet my mother's requirements.
After careful consideration, Wang Lei set his sights on Stanford University.
Stanford University is definitely one of the top universities in the United States, and its reputation is not inferior to that of Harvard University, not to mention the top 20 in the United States, but it has rarely fallen out of the top 10 in the ranking of universities in the world.
On top of that, Stanford University is located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, close to home. And it's large enough, covering an area of 8,000 acres.
As one of the most well-known universities in the United States, Stanford University has always had high admission requirements, and more than a decade later, it has even been voted the most difficult American university to apply to.
Wang Lei has inquired that in order to be admitted to Stanford University, the SAT test score must be at least 2,000. Reading, math, and writing must be at least 650 to 680 points.
With an SAT score of more than 2,000 points, coupled with his status as a world boxing champion Lei and a well-known screenwriter and novel author, Wang Lei believes that he should be admitted to Stanford University.
The premise is that Stanford University will not be racist and look down on the yellow race.
However, this should not be possible, and there are many Chinese and Chinese students at Stanford University, including the two sons of Yahoo founder and Li Chaoren, who seem to be students at Stanford University.
The most important thing is that the future daughter-in-law Zhou Yuwei whispered to him the last time she came to San Francisco that she did not plan to go to college in Boston after graduating from high school, and wanted to come to San Francisco to apply for Stanford University.
This means that as long as she is admitted to Stanford University, she will be able to be an alumnus with her future daughter-in-law, at least she doesn't have to worry about going to college and living apart from her for too long, causing her to change her mind about other men.
It's not that Wang Lei doesn't have confidence in himself, but that American schools are too open, and American high school students and college students are so messy about the relationship between men and women, which Wang Lei already had a deep understanding of when he watched American dramas in his previous life.
