Chapter 35 Confrontation at the Press Conference
On July 19, Chen Sheng and his elder brother left Hong Kong.
This time, I left Hong Kong by casino helicopter, which took off from the Hong Kong and Macau terminals and flew straight towards Macau.
Chen Sheng, who was in the cabin of the plane, looked at the bustling Hong Kong below through the porthole, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Although my days in Hong Kong are short, every day is very exciting, with a lot of things happening and some thrilling experiences that have left a deep impression on the city.
After arriving at the Venetian Hotel, after resting for about half an hour, Chen Sheng received a call from Wang Yue, asking him to go downstairs to the banquet hall, where he was going to hold a pre-match press conference today.
This is the second time Chen Sheng has come to this banquet hall, and the last press conference was also held here.
By the time they arrived at the ballroom, everything was ready and the press conference would begin immediately.
At the first glance of entering the door, Chen Sheng saw his three opponents, they were so eye-catching, no matter where they were standing, they were the focus of people's attention, this was the first time Chen Sheng met his opponent in a fighting tournament, and the three of them were very distinctive:
Ernest. Hust was a black personality fighter from the Netherlands.
He is about 1.9 meters tall, his body is very strong, the muscles of his body are bulging and full of tension, and his dark skin seems to contain a volcano-like scorching temperature, ready to erupt at any time.
This is the famous "Mr. Perfect" in the martial arts world, a four-time K-1GP champion and a well-deserved king of martial arts.
Mark. Hunter is a martial artist from New Zealand, Samoan.
Less than one meter eight tall, this is a pocket height among heavyweight fighters, but this does not mean that his strength is weak, just look at his thick body up and down to know that this is a fighter with great strength, anyone who underestimates him will definitely pay a heavy price in the ring. The body is as strong as a bison, and it unscrupulously shows the beauty of strong strength.
This is the famous "Samoan Eccentric" in the martial arts world, the 2001 K-1GP champion, and has an incredibly strong strength.
Sammy. Hilt was a white personality fighter, also from the Netherlands.
The most eye-catching thing about him is his tall body like a giant spirit god, even among heavyweight fighters, he is also a giant, his height has reached about two meters and ten meters, very strong, standing there without moving, like a mountain, it has already brought people a heavy sense of oppression, ordinary people's thigh-thick arms, containing a group of power, you can imagine how heavy the punch he will make with such an arm.
This is the most terrifying nuclear weapon in the K-1 fighting arena, the "Giant God Soldier", a three-time K-1GP champion in 2005, 20006 and 2007. In recent years, the K-1 fighting machine has been invincible in the fighting arena.
As soon as Chen Sheng came in, he began to carefully observe these three opponents, and sure enough, they are world-famous martial arts masters, and they can be seen from their appearance alone, and facing them, even if they are not in the ring, they are not fighting, they can bring heavy pressure to people.
Similarly, the other three fighters also began to observe Chen Sheng the moment Chen Sheng entered the banquet hall, and everyone was very familiar with the fighters around them, not only had they studied countless fighting videos of each other, but they also met in the ring not once or twice, so they could be said to know each other very well.
But for Chen Sheng, they can be said to be completely ignorant, and the information is very small, and they can hardly find it.
Even if it is found on the Internet, it is only the scene of his bloody battle with Hong Kong Gu Confucian, although through that video, it can be seen that Chen Sheng's strength is not weak, but it has little to do with boxing fighting, and the written materials only understand that Chen Sheng is a youth martial arts champion in Chinese mainland, in addition, for Chen Sheng, the three can be said to be blinded and know nothing.
It can be seen here that China, the world's largest local area network, also has its benefits!
The curiosity of the three of them about Chen Sheng was far greater than Chen Sheng's curiosity about them.
Chen Sheng has watched a lot of battle videos of the three of them in the past few days, and it can be said that he is already familiar with their characteristics. Now Chen Sheng has a corresponding strategy for facing one of them in the ring.
Hust and the three of them were not only interested in Chen Sheng, but also in Chen Sheng's status as a martial arts champion.
They have never met a master of martial arts in the heavyweight fighting arena, and it can be said that they have no understanding of martial arts at all, and Chinese martial arts have always been rumored to be very mysterious and powerful in the world.
The three of them were also very excited to have the opportunity to face the Chinese martial arts champion this time, and they were all looking forward to competing with Chen Sheng in the ring to see what kind of technique was more powerful.
The time for the press conference soon came, and the four people appeared on the stage in turn, seated side by side, with a distance of about one meter between each two, ready to start the joint interview with the reporters present.
There are a lot of reporters here today, especially reporters from Hong Kong and Macao, who account for more than half, followed by mainland reporters, who also have 20 or 30 reporters, and then reporters from Japan.
K-1 martial arts was founded in Japan, and it has attracted a lot of attention in Japan, and the development is very good, and these three fighters are all former K-1GP champions and have countless fans in Japan, so this time the Japanese media will pay special attention to this fighting tournament in Macau.
There is another reason that Sammy. Hilter is not only a K-1GP martial arts master, but also a master of extreme karate, and Chen Sheng is a Chinese youth wushu champion.
They all want to see if it is the Chinese martial arts that are strong, or the Japanese extreme vacuum karate that is strong, which is why this fighting tournament has attracted so much attention from the Japanese media.
Under the auspices of the host of the press conference, the press conference officially began, and first the host introduced the personal information of the four fighters in turn, and undoubtedly, Chen Sheng was the briefest.
Then there was the question-and-answer session, and without exception, the first opportunity to ask questions was given to local media reporters in Macau.
"Mr. Chen Sheng, hello, I'm a reporter from Macau TV, you should be participating in such a fighting tournament for the first time, what do you think about the upcoming fight? Do you have the confidence to defeat these martial arts masters around you?"
Chen Sheng looked at the reporter and said:
"Yes, it's my first time in the arena like this, and I'm really looking forward to what is going to be the fight that is going to be at the highest level of striking right now, and I can't wait to test my mettle against these great fighters.
I have a lot of respect for the three fighters around me, I have studied a lot of information about them, and I know that they are all very strong opponents, and they are the best in the martial arts world today, and I am very happy to have the opportunity to fight them.
Even though they are strong and have few opponents, I am still full of confidence and I believe that I can beat them in the ring and show my quality."
After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he immediately caused a lot of commotion among the reporters on the scene.
The interpreter quickly translated Chen Sheng's words into English and repeated them to the audience.
The other three fighters also understood the meaning of Chen Sheng's words at this time, and the three of them turned their heads to look at Chen Sheng, their eyes were full of provocation, and at the same time, Chen Sheng also saw a trace of contempt in it, obviously they thought that Chen Sheng's words were bragging and emboldening themselves.
Chen Sheng did not evade or hesitate at all, he also looked at them, full of desire to fight, and said in his heart:
"When you get to the ring, you will know if what I said is true, and I will show you that Chinese should also have a place in the heavyweight fighting arena."
Soon the second reporter stood up and began to ask:
"Sammy. Mr. Silter, I'm a reporter for NHK TV in Japan, I'm a fan of yours and often watch your games, and my question is addressed to you:
Those who are familiar with K-1 martial arts know that you are a master of extreme vacuum karate, and this time in Macau's fighting competition, the Mr. Chen Sheng you met is a Chinese martial arts champion, what do you think of Chinese martial arts? Do you think Chinese martial arts are great or extreme vacuum karate is powerful? I think countless viewers in front of the TV will want to know this answer, especially the large number of karate enthusiasts in Japan."
As soon as he asked this question, the scene immediately exploded, and countless reporters from the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan all turned their heads to stare at the reporter of Japan's NHK TV station, their eyes full of anger and disdain.
"The **** little devil, I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he actually ran to the territory of the Chinese to spread wild"
"These little devils, they really don't have a good thing"
"What bullshit extreme vacuum-karate, haven't heard of it......
After listening to the words of the Japanese reporter, Hilt on the stage said almost without thinking:
"I don't know much about Chinese martial arts, and I've never had any experience in combat, but I believe it should be a good martial art.
And I have been practicing Extreme Vacuum Jarate since I was a child, so to speak, Extreme Vacuum Jarate has almost been integrated into my blood, of course I think Extreme Vacuum Jarate is the strongest, I believe that when the time comes, in the ring, everyone will also see the confrontation between Extreme Vacuum Jarate and martial arts, and I will let everyone see the strongest fighting skills. ”
Before Hilter's voice fell, Chen Sheng next to him had already continued:
"Whether it's the strongest fighting skill or not, you still have to compare it in the ring to see it, there is no evidence, I will let you see, what is the strongest martial art"
Chen Sheng's words immediately stirred up waves, Hilt stood up suddenly, turned around and glared at Chen Sheng angrily, kicked away the stool with his feet, and took a step in the direction of Chen Sheng, looking at him, as if he was going to rush up and fight Chen Sheng.
As soon as he "Teng", Chen Sheng also stood up without showing weakness, his eyes were fixed on Hilter, and he also kicked away the stool under his feet, ready to face the battle at any time.
The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became very tense, and it was about to erupt, and everyone on the scene felt the dangerous atmosphere, seeing this situation, the host quickly inserted between the two and persuaded both sides.
"Chen Sheng, good job, clean up this ghost"
"To hell with the bullshit, Chen Sheng, we support you......
Many Chinese reporters below began to cheer for Chen Sheng loudly, of course, in Chinese, which Hilt naturally did not understand.
Under the persuasion of the host, Chen Sheng and Hilt sat down again, and the press conference continued.
After sitting down, Hilt looked at Chen Sheng and said defiantly:
"I will wait for you in the ring, Chinese youth wushu champion, I hope you don't let me down"
Chen Sheng replied without showing weakness;
"You will get your wish, you will experience the breadth and profundity of Chinese martial arts in the ring, and know what is the strongest technique"
Seeing that the two began to exchange words again, the host immediately asked the next reporter to ask a question, interrupting the conflict between the two.
Then the press conference continued for another half hour, and the four fighters all answered some questions that everyone was concerned about, Chen Sheng and Hilter, the whole audience was-for-tat, and the press conference ended in this atmosphere full of gunpowder.
When they left the banquet hall, the atmosphere between Chen Sheng and Hilt was still very tense, which made everyone very worried, for fear that the two of them would fight here, but fortunately, the two were still relatively sensible, knowing that now was not the time, and all problems could be left in the ring tomorrow to solve.
Hust and Hunter, who have been spectators since the press conference, are also full of fighting spirit, looking forward to the martial arts match that will start tomorrow and will show their strength in the ring.
At the same time, they are also full of expectations for Chen Sheng's performance, this is an unknown force, I don't know if he can be as effective in the ring as he showed today, for Silter, they know very well, know what level of fighter he is, but they don't have much expectations.
After the press conference, Chen Sheng went back to his room, rested for a few minutes, and went to the gym of the casino hotel with Frank for training.
Similarly, the other three soon appeared in the gym, and everyone looked at each other, without much communication, and started their own training.
During the training process, the other three people were also very surprised when they saw Chen Sheng's training intensity, and it can be seen from his training intensity that Chen Sheng's strength is also very good, maybe he really has the strength to compete with the three of them in the ring.
The contempt for Chen Sheng in the hearts of the three of them has also decreased a lot, and they have begun to treat him as a real opponent.
In the evening, there was a welcome reception arranged by the casino, and several fighters were very self-disciplined people, who showed up at the banquet and socialized with the casino executives, and then left one after another, returning to their rooms to prepare for tomorrow's game.
It was the last night before the competition, and many people were very excited, Chen Sheng, Wang Yue, and everyone involved were waiting for tomorrow to come, looking forward to Chen Sheng's first time on the international martial arts stage.
The night seemed to be very long, and the air could already smell a faint smell of gunsmoke. (To be continued.) )
