Griffith, who regained consciousness again, finally chose to "throw in the towel" and did not ask for another fight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he was very unconvinced, he scolded and said that it was only because he had not practiced boxing for more than six years after retiring, and his reflex nerve had greatly degenerated before he was lucky to be hit by Wang Lei.

But Griffith was still "willing to gamble and lose", not only agreed to Wang Lei's request to be a sparring partner for 30 rounds, but also planned to introduce several fighters he knew to Sadler's boxing gym to practice.

I have to say that Griffith, the former boxing champion, has a very strong character.

Two days later, Griffiths introduced two young fighters to Sadler's boxing gym.

Both are active professional fighters, named John Ramon and Bobby Lee, one is a lightweight and the other is a middleweight, they are not famous, but they have just become professional boxers, and both have only fought less than ten professional fights, and their records are very average rookie boxers.

Although I have never heard of the names of these two people, being able to become a professional boxer, after all, still has some strength, plus Griffiths, the former boxing champion, has joined, not only Wang Lei's strength has improved, but Sadler's boxing gym has also become more popular.

In September, the summer vacation was over, and Wang Lei had to go to school.

Fortunately, high schools in the United States are different from Chinese high schools, and Wang Lei is only in the 11th grade, which is equivalent to the second year of high school in China, so he can still spare one hour in the morning and two hours after school in the afternoon to go to the Sadler Boxing Gym every day to practice.

In addition, the one-hour practice time of going to my grandfather's every night remains the same.

Before Wang Lei returned to school, Sadler enrolled him in a boxing match.

San Francisco Junior Boxing Tournament.

Funded by a boxing club in San Francisco, amateur boxing tournaments are limited to amateur fighters between the ages of 14 and 18.

There are only three divisions in the competition, which are lightweight under 130 pounds, light middleweight under 140, and middleweight under 154 pounds.

There are only three rounds of two minutes each, with a one-minute break between rounds.

Because it is only an amateur competition and the participants are teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18, the prize money is very low. The prize money for winning the championship is only five hundred dollars, and of course there is a trophy.

Wang Lei originally weighed 136 pounds, but after two months of summer exercise and a reasonable diet, his weight has been reduced to 128 pounds, and with the age of 16, he is just right to compete in the lightweight competition under 130 pounds.

Both Sadler and Griffith believed that with Wang Lei's current strength, it would be easy to win the championship, unless he encountered a peerless demon who would only come out once in a hundred years.

Of course, Wang Lei would not believe that his luck would be so bad.

Sadler doesn't pay much attention to the junior amateur boxing tournament held by the San Francisco Boxing Club, and he is interested in the "National Golden Glove Boxing Tournament" held in October.

The "National Golden Glove Boxing Tournament" is one of the most important and authoritative amateur boxing competitions held in the United States every year, and the boxers who are eligible to participate in this competition are generally the top amateur boxers in the United States.

Boxers who can win the "National Golden Glove Award" and "Youth Olympic Boxing Champion" are generally interviewed and promoted by major sports newspapers and television stations in the United States, and have high popularity, and it will be easier to obtain the qualification of professional boxers to become professional boxers in the future.

It's just that not everyone can sign up for these two boxing events, and you have to have qualifications and competition results.

If Wang Lei can participate in the "San Francisco Junior Boxing Competition" and win the championship, he will be eligible to register for the "National Golden Glove Boxing Championship".

In Wang Lei's past life memories, it seems that the famous boxer, the king of light heavyweights, is recognized as one of the most talented fighters in boxing history, Roy Jones Jr. won the "National Golden Glove Award" twice and the "National Youth Olympic Champion" once before becoming a professional boxer.

In addition, it seems that Oscar de la Hoya, nicknamed the "Golden Boy", also won the "National Golden Glove Award" once.

With the title of "All-American Golden Glove" and "Youth Olympic Champion", Roy Jones Jr. and De La Hoya were promoted to professional fighters, not only did they become popular, but their road to the championship was also smooth sailing, and they qualified for the title with little effort.

Sadler's plan and goal for Wang Lei is to win the welterweight championship of the "American Golden Glove Award" with a weight of 128 pounds this year; Next year, he will win the "All-American Golden Glove" and "Youth Olympics" lightweight championship with a weight of 135 to 139 pounds. Then apply for the qualification as a professional fighter in the third year.

Wang Lei was very satisfied with Sadler's plan and was full of fighting spirit.

……

The San Francisco youth boxing match doesn't start until a week later, so Mr. Wang has to go to school to report to his teacher and ask for leave.

Wang Lei's high school is called Monvina High School, which is one of the top 20 schools in San Francisco.

Because the school is close to Chinatown, it has more than 40 percent Chinese students, less than 30 percent white students, and 20 percent black students, with the smallest proportion of students from Spain, Italy, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, etc.

Studying in such a racially mixed school, while inevitably encountering racial discrimination, is not too serious, at least much better than schools in other cities in the United States.

Wang Lei's teacher's name is Kelly, a white woman with a somewhat stubborn personality but a strong sense of responsibility, as soon as she heard Wang Lei say that he was going to take leave to participate in a boxing match in a week, she directly opposed it and persuaded Wang Lei to concentrate on studying and not to participate in violent activities.

Wang Lei couldn't persuade Teacher Kelly to change her mind after a lot of words, and in the end, she was probably impatient with Wang Lei, and Teacher Kelly showed her killer feature and asked Wang Lei to invite her parents to come and talk to her tomorrow.

Wang Lei left the teacher's office very depressed, and decided to go back and persuade his grandfather to come over tomorrow to talk to Teacher Kelly.

His parents didn't know about his boxing yet, and Wang Lei planned to keep it a secret for the time being, and wait until after the official match to tell them, so as not to worry them.

When he came to the classroom, Wang Lei met Bill Duncan.

Bill, a black man, was Wang's only friend and tablemate at school. Before being reborn in "Memory", Bill was besieged by several white classmates in the class, and Wang Lei, who had been practicing Xingyi Boxing with his grandfather for two years, couldn't look at it, and stepped forward to help beat away those white classmates, so Bill became friends with Wang Lei.

Don't look at Beal who is often bullied by his white classmates at school, but he is very tall and strong, and he is also a member of the school basketball club, and his idols were originally NBA legends, Jerry West and "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar of the Los Angeles Lakers, and later added "Magic" Johnson.

Beal's dream is to wait until after high school to go to the NBA draft and join the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bill is only half a year older than Wang Lei, but his height is a head taller than Wang Lei, close to 1.95 meters, and it is estimated that he can grow to more than two meters after graduating from high school, which is a good figure for playing basketball. He played as a power forward in the school's basketball club, although he was not very good at shooting, but he had a strong rebounding and blocking skills, and his defensive skills were very strong.

The coach of the school's basketball club believes that if Beal can practice his shooting and rebounding and blocking skills better, he may be able to join the NBA in a few years and achieve the achievements of his eponymous Bill Russell.

It is difficult for Wang Lei to agree with this.

Because Wang Lei had read several basketball novels at the starting point in his previous life, he gradually became familiar with the NBA, the history of the NBA and most of the stars. It's just that he rummaged through the "memories of his past life" for a long time, and he didn't remember that there was a player in the NBA with the same name as "Lord of the Rings" Russell, named Bill Duncan.

The only star in the NBA with the surname Duncan is Tim Duncan of the Spurs.

Bill could never be Tim Duncan.

If the name is not changed, it means that Beal either did not enter the NBA later, or he did not play famous and was unknown.

As Bill's only friend, Wang Lei couldn't bear to hit him, but was pulled into the basketball club by Bill to play basketball.

Because he found that the plan to write a script to break into Hollywood did not work, Wang Lei was also interested in playing basketball, and imagined whether it was possible to win NBA championships one after another, establish a dynasty, and gain fame and fortune like the protagonist of the basketball novel at the beginning.

It's a pity that after playing in the basketball club for a few days, Wang Lei found that he didn't have the talent to play basketball at all, and he couldn't practice shooting and passing no matter how he practiced.

Lack of height and talent to make a name for themselves in the NBA, unless, like the protagonists of the basketball novels of the previous life, they are either possessed by the future basketball system or the souls of deceased or future NBA legends.

It's a pity that Wang Lei didn't have such good luck, so he could only give up basketball and silently support Bill.

Wang Lei once leaked the opportunity to Bill that if he was to participate in the NBA draft after graduation, it would be best to choose to join the Chicago Bulls or the Detejin Pistons.

Because it has been eight or eight years since Beal graduated from high school, Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball" in "memory", although he had already participated in the NBA draft last year and joined the Chicago Bulls, he did not start winning championships until 91. Prior to this, the two-time NBA championship winner seemed to be won by the Detrojin Pistons, known as the "Bad Boy Army".

Even Beal's two idols, the Los Angeles Lakers led by "Magic" Johnson and "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar, seemed to have been swept by the Detejin Pistons of the "Bad Boy Army" in the finals that year.

Wang Lei thinks that if Beal joins the Detejin Pistons and the Chicago Bulls after graduating from high school in '88, it will be a good thing to be able to hug his thighs and get a championship ring, and even a dynasty.

Of course, the premise is that he is not traded by the Detejin Pistons and the Chicago Bulls in the middle of the trade.

It's a pity that Beal didn't understand Wang Lei's "good intentions" and insisted on joining the Los Angeles Lakers.

Wang Lei had no choice but to wish him good luck.

If memory serves, the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship in '88 and didn't win the championship again until the beginning of the new century, and then established the "OK Dynasty".

Wang Lei doesn't think Beal can survive the Los Angeles Lakers until the new century.

"Hi Ray, I've got you the book you're looking for. It's not easy, you owe me a favor, remember to invite me to your parents' restaurant for a free Chinese meal! ”

When he saw Wang Lei, Bill lit up a few books in his hand and greeted him happily.
