Chapter 49: March of the Broadsword
(It's still two chapters in tandem today!) )
The scene of the game at Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas can be called starry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to Chand Cohen bringing several Columbia Pictures actors led by Tom Hanks to cheer on the stage, action superstar Stallone, who starred in the classic boxing movie "Rocky" series, also came. The action superstar of the same name as Stallone, the future governor of California, "Terminator" Schwarzenegger, was also on the scene, not far from Stallone's position. There is also another action superstar, but Bruce Willis is not yet famous in the film industry, but is very popular in the American drama circle.
Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis are all boxing enthusiasts, and they came to watch the game to praise Wang Lei's field and belong to Wang Lei's camp.
In addition to these Hollywood actors, there are also many people in the boxing world who come to cheer.
Middleweight demon Marvin Hagler, who had just lost the fight and had already decided to have a rematch with his opponent Leonard in November, is here.
Hagler, like Wang Lei, is a contracted fighter under Arum, and because of Wang Lei's statement in the CNN interview, Leonard changed his mind and agreed to fight him again. In view of this, Hagler could not help but support Wang Lei.
In addition to Hagler, there are also two heavyweight gods who came to cheer.
One is the new boxing champion of the heavyweight division, Beast Tyson.
The other is Ali, a retired boxing champion.
Ali actually came to cheer for him, Wang Lei was shocked and a little excited, and specially thanked Ali in the pre-game interview, bluntly saying that Ali is one of his idols.
In addition to Tyson and Ali, Wang Lei also saw an "acquaintance" in the audience, and he was also mixed in the welterweight division, and now Holyfield, who is already the welterweight WBA and IBF double champion.
It seems that Lao Huo will win the WBC welterweight championship belt next year and become the triple crown champion of the welterweight division.
It's a pity that Lewis and Riddick Bough are still preparing for next year's Olympics, and they didn't upgrade to professional fighters or come to the ring, which makes Wang Lei feel a little regretful.
There are many stars who came to cheer for Wang Lei, but Takada Yanhiko is not shabby there, and almost all the stars in the wrestling world have come to cheer for Takada Yanhiko.
In addition to the three wrestling superstars who were beaten by Wang Lei, Hook Hogan, a giant in the wrestling world and a guest appearance in Stallone's "Rocky 3", was also on the scene. This guy is not only the most famous superstar in the wrestling world, but also mixes well in the entertainment industry, has made many movies, and also filmed an American drama "Heaven's Thunder" that was once popular all over the world.
In addition to Hook Hogan, Wang Lei also saw Mark William, the "undertaker" who had not won the championship a few years after his debut.
It's a pity that "Dwayne Johnson" is still a teenager, otherwise the scene would have looked better.
In addition, Takada Nobuhiko's master, Anthony Inoki, who fought the "great battle of the century" with Ali, also came to cheer his apprentice.
The organizers also don't know if for the purpose of prank, Anthony Inoki's seat was arranged next to Ali's, and the two sat together.
Fortunately, the cultivation of the two of them is good, and they didn't make a fuss, but they talked and laughed, and they didn't know what they were talking about. I guess it won't be a good word.
The bout was quick to begin, but it started with George Foreman and Charles Steder's heavyweight boxing bout.
The two of them didn't do any tricks at the appearance ceremony, they played very normally, and then waited peacefully for the bell to ring for the start of the game.
No one made any provocative moves from start to finish, and it was as peaceful as if a jogging race was being held.
Although the pre-match was peaceful, the scene became intense as soon as the game began.
Probably because of the bet with Wang Lei before the fight, Foreman threw very ferocious punches, which embarrassed his opponent Stade, and he was almost unable to fight back throughout the round.
However, with more flexible footwork and agility, Stade still survived the first round.
He also managed to survive the second round.
But in the third round, I don't know if I was tired, or I was frightened by Foreman's ferocity, Steder's reaction slowed down a little, and he was punched in the face by Foreman and fell to the ground on the spot.
The third round lasted only forty seconds.
After two rounds and 40 seconds of knockout, and to win Foreman, he would have to knock out Nobuhiko Takada in two rounds, and Wang suddenly felt a little Alexander.
Because Wang Lei is the challenger, and the appearance fee is more than four times higher than that of Takada Nobuhiko, this game is Takada Nobuhiko who plays first.
I don't know if it was influenced by Wang Lei, or the wrestler's appearance ceremony has always been exaggerated, Takada Nobuhiko's appearance ceremony was extremely luxurious, and he actually invited several geisha wearing dead makeup to come to drink and dance, and then invited more than 20 Kekushin dokan apprentices wearing white samurai uniforms to perform karate, after the performance, fireworks were set off, a sun flag was raised in the boxing ring, and Takada Nobuhiko appeared under the support of more than a dozen Japanese samurai.
The whole ceremony took about five minutes.
What's even more speechless is that the samurai uniform worn by Takada Nobuhiko is actually printed with the pattern of the Japanese military flag, and the headband tied to his head is also printed with a blood-colored circle.
Wang Lei, who saw this scene in the locker room, was very unhappy, and he had an idea in a flash.
"Uncle Ming, can you change the music for me?"
"What kind of music, do you still want to change it to the March of the Volunteers?"
"No, another ......"
"Ah, that's not good, is it?"
"What's so bad? Let's just say if you can find this song, right? ”
"It shouldn't be difficult, there are many people in Chinatown who can sing this song, even I can sing it. The lion dance team you're looking for is from Chinatown, and they should be familiar with the song! ”
"That's good, hurry up and let them revise it!"
"Uh, okay!"
……
After Takada Nobuhiko appeared, it was Wang Lei's turn to appear.
But the audience waited for five minutes and didn't see Wang Lei come out.
Everyone was surprised, and many people began to wonder if Wang Lei was afraid of Takada Yanhiko and ran away, when they suddenly heard a fierce music sound.
This music ...... It seems to be trumpet-based!
It sounds familiar, like the music of a charge on the battlefield......
As a passionate song sounded, the audience couldn't help but look at each other, and the Japanese who belonged to Nobuyhiko Takada's camp all turned ugly.
"The big knife cut off the heads of the devils, the brothers of the 29th Army, the day of the Anti-Japanese War has come...... Look at the enemy, destroy him, destroy him, rush! The big knife slashed at the heads of the devils and killed ......"
The musical background of Wang Lei's appearance is "March of the Big Knife".
"March of the Broadsword", also known as "The Broadsword Cuts Off the Heads of the Devils", was composed in 1937 and is a war song created by the writer for the 29th Route Broadsword Team that bravely resisted the Japanese invaders.
There are many Chinese in the audience, even foreigners, who know the history of China's War of Resistance, so they are very "familiar" with the origin and background of this song.
At this time, when I heard that Wang Lei actually used this song as background music, I couldn't help but show a strange look on my face.
This kid can really make trouble!
There was no lion dance or other tricks, Wang Lei, wearing a red robe, appeared with the "March of the Broadsword" with a solemn face, acting as if he was going to battle.
When he stepped into the boxing ring, he saw Takada Nobuyhiko glaring at him fiercely, as if he was looking at him and saying, "Boy, you are dead!" ”
Wang Lei scoffed at this, stretched out his right palm and slashed downward, making a "decapitation" action at Takada Yanhiko.
Takada Noboko's face suddenly turned blue!
The referee coughed dryly, beckoned the two to come forward, and after briefly repeating the rules of the game, he separated the two and announced the start of the game.
Nobuhiko Takada's body became short for the first time.
Instead of learning from his master Anthony Inoki's lying on the ground, he was a wrestler's pumpkin stance.
Obviously, Nobuhiko Takada made up his mind to knock Wang Lei down and use his ground grappling skills to deal with Wang Lei.
Is it so easy for brother to be knocked down?
Wang Lei snorted coldly, and slowly approached Takada Yanyan with his fists half-clenched.
I have to say that wearing finger gloves is not the same as boxing gloves, and it seems that the fists are really relaxed.
Wang Lei threw a punch, and his front hand jab arced downward, hitting the short Takada Nobohiko.
Takada Yanyan lowered his head, relying on Wang Lei's punch on his head.
Then, Nobohiko Takada pounced on Wang Lei, targeting Wang Lei's legs.
Apparently I want to play with a leg hug!
This is a common move in classical wrestling, and in wrestling matches, as long as someone is held on both legs or one leg, it is rare not to be put down.
Wang Lei did not retreat, but punched again.
However, the boxing method he used was not the boxing method of boxing, but the splitting fist of Xingyi Five Elements Boxing.
Or two-handed fists!
The raised fists were like axes raised high, and they slashed at Takada Nobuhiko's back.
In his usual stance, Wang Lei's split punches could not hit his opponent's back in any way. But because Takada Yanyan wanted to hold Wang Lei's legs, his body was very low, and his back was parallel to him, which was just convenient for Wang Lei.
The rules of the game, led by Wang Lei, are not allowed to hit the back of the head, but it is not said that hitting the back is not allowed.
Therefore, seeing Takada Yanyan with his back bare facing him, Wang Lei unceremoniously attacked with a split fist.
There was a loud "bang", and before Takada Yanhiko could hold Wang Lei's legs, he was smashed on his back by Wang Lei's fists with both hands, and he fell down on the spot.
The referee is still the first to direct a heterogeneous fighting match, with no experience, and Wang Lei's style of play is a common action in wrestling matches, so he just hesitated, did not stop the game and did not give Wang Lei a foul, and the game continued.
Takada Yanyan reacted quickly, was smashed by Wang Lei's fist, rolled on the spot, and his body instantly changed direction, and at the same time, his legs wrapped around Wang Lei's front legs like scissors.
Scissor legs!
Wang Lei was a little stunned, his knees bent, and he stood still with a fierce step.
Takada Yanyan cut Wang Lei's front legs, but it was like cutting on an iron pillar that could not be bent, and he couldn't cut it.
Wang Lei bent his waist and smashed his right fist down from top to bottom.
"Bang"!
But because Takada Yanyan raised his arms in time to block in front of him, Wang Lei's punch only smashed on his forearm.
But who says that a drop on the forearm will work?
Wang Lei unceremoniously slammed another punch, then another punch, another punch......
He slammed five punches in one breath, and each punch hit Takada Nobuhiko's forearm in front of his head, causing Takada Nobuhiko's body to tremble and his arms to be numb.
