Chapter 13: Metamorphosis
"What has Xiaolong been doing lately?" Ip Man took a sip of his teacup and asked.
Ning An hurriedly replied: "Senior Brother Xiaolong is preparing to fight with the little boxing king David. The Kofir race, the newspapers are already reporting. ”
"Yes, I buy newspapers to read every day, Xiaolong is really competitive, and many Chinese people buy Xiaolong to win." The elder brother is happy from the bottom of his heart.
However, hearing this, Ip Man did not become happy, but showed a worried face: "Now the Chinese newspapers are talking about how Bruce Lee, as a Chinese, won the qualification to challenge foreigners, and what Xiaolong is the successor of Wing Chun Tong!" Hum! These people who are not doing the job will blow Xiaolong into a hero before the game, and that's what I'm worried about. ”
As Ip Man was talking, there was a burst of exclamations outside, it turned out to be Bruce Lee, who had fought hard for Wing Chun Hall, was here.
"Master, are you looking for me?" Bruce Lee was sweating profusely, obviously just finished training and hadn't had time to rest for a while.
"Have you read the newspaper, so many Chinese have lifted you to the sky, how sure are you about the little boxing champion?" Ip Man looked at Bruce Lee and asked.
"I can fight, so many eyes are looking at me, classmates, brothers and sisters, and teachers all want me to fight, I won't lose!"
Bruce Lee patted his chest, full of confidence.
Who knew that Ye Man sighed and said softly: "This is exactly what I am worried about, you only think of fighting, but you don't think of being beaten!" ”
"Beaten?" Bruce Lee didn't know why.
"Xiangjiang is a small place, I will pay attention to things in the martial arts and things related to fighting, David. I've seen Kofel's previous fights and to be honest, you don't have much chance of winning compared to him now. ”
"Why did the master say that?"
Ip Man said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth!
To put it mildly, Bruce Lee is an extremely proud person, and the more you say that he can't do anything, the more he has to prove it to you.
Although Ip Man said that Bruce Lee was not as good as David. Kofel, this is a fact, but Bruce Lee is not convinced, even some of the tactics that Ip Man arranged for Bruce Lee at this moment, you also know that when it comes to the ring, he will definitely not follow the rules.
After Ip Man finished talking about the tactics arranged for Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee said goodbye and left, but Ning An stood aside and stopped talking.
"What, Ning An, do you have something to say?"
"Master, I don't think Senior Brother Xiaolong will play the game according to the tactics you arranged!"
Ye Man was puzzled: "But Xiaolong obviously agreed just now, could it be that he dared to go against his teacher's will?" ”
The rules in the martial arts, the words of the master must be followed, what is the difference between the words of the yang and the yin and the deception of the master and the destruction of the ancestors, Bruce Lee can be defeated, but he can't be disobedient.
"Master is right, foreigners don't have empty city plans in their heads, no straw boats to borrow arrows, only rushes and rushes, they don't understand the truth of one blow and then three times and exhaustion.
But telling Senior Brother Xiaolong these truths will only make him even more confused! Don't you know Senior Brother Xiaolong's temperament? Let him blindly defend, this is simply more difficult than ascending to the sky! ”
Ning An thoroughly analyzed Xiaolong's situation one by one. Ye Man was stunned and wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Ning An's next words.
"The tactics you arranged for Senior Brother Xiaolong can be said to be the best tactics, but they are not the most suitable tactics for him!"
"What do you mean by that?" Ip Man was puzzled.
"If you use the tactics you arranged, Senior Brother Xiaolong is at least seventy percent sure that he can defeat that little boxing champion, but you have overlooked two important factors.
The first is Senior Brother Xiaolong's belief, he has always been discriminated against by those foreigners in the aristocratic academy, and he has long been holding back the fire in his belly, and if he doesn't explode in silence, he will perish in silence! This competition is not an opportunity for him to vent, not to mention that this is to win glory for the Chinese, and Senior Brother Xiaolong will not fail.
The second is that Master underestimated the potential of Senior Brother Xiaolong, with his understanding, it is possible to break through in battle, he will be strong when he encounters strength, break through all obstacles, and burst out with amazing potential! ”
Ip Man was silent, he didn't expect that his proud disciple would be so optimistic about Bruce Lee, and he didn't expect Ning An to know Bruce Lee so well.
"According to you, that rabbit cub won't play according to the tactics I gave him?"
"Hehe, as long as you win, who dares to say that without your credit, just one inch of punch is enough to increase Senior Brother Xiaolong's chances of winning by three layers!"
"Haha!"
Ye Man laughed, Ning An's disciple is getting better and better, I am afraid that only he will be able to inherit his mantle in the future, as for Bruce Lee, although he has potential, but this character is far from Ning An.
……
"Senior brother, don't you say that the master is embarrassed by this arrangement, this is simply giving the ghost man a long morale and destroying my prestige!"
Ning An instructed Bruce Lee to practice inch boxing, Bruce Lee was indignant, in his opinion, he should have a vigorous fight in the ring, as for losing, he is Bruce Lee, how could he lose?
"You can fight as much as the master tells you to, you haven't come these days, the master pays attention to things in the newspaper every day, and he has worked hard to let you win!"
The senior brother shook his head, the master's words are an iron order, no matter how unwilling Bruce Lee is, in his heart, Bruce Lee should do so.
"But even if I win, others will say that my punch was luck, and I won that ghost guy by luck! I don't want to fight like that! ”
"Why, you dare not listen to the master's words?"
The senior brother glared, Xiaolong's mind was taboo, if there was anything he should say, he should tell the master in person that since he agreed, he should do it without hesitation.
Ning An looked at it in his eyes: "Senior Brother Xiaolong, I have an idea, do you want to listen to it?" ”
"What thoughts?"
"Master's words are not entirely true sometimes..."
Before Ning An's words were finished, he ushered in a scolding from the senior brother: "Little junior brother be cautious!" How can you not be respectful to the master? ”
"Senior brother listen to me first, I have told the master these words, sometimes the best way is not the most suitable, just like Senior Brother Xiaolong If he wants to defeat this foreigner, he must be upright, whether it is momentum or strength, he must be completely crushed!"
"That's right, that's what I want, but..." Bruce Lee's eyes lit up, but thinking that there was still a certain gap between his strength and that little boxing champion, he couldn't help but dim his eyes.
"Are you worried that your strength is not as good as that of the little boxer? Brother Xiaolong, do you know what this game means? Ning An's gaze was pressing, staring at Bruce Lee tightly.
"If you lose, then the Chinese in Xiangjiang will once again bow their heads in front of foreigners, and foreigners will laugh at us East Asian sick men!
The Chinese will also think that you are a fame and a reputation! If you lose, your classmates and friends will think that you will only be a good man on weekdays, do you want to see this? ”
Ning An slowly walked up to Bruce Lee, pointed at Bruce Lee's nose and yelled loudly, there are some things that must be done, Chinese people can't raise their heads in front of foreigners, just because no one comes forward, and Bruce Lee is taking on this responsibility! So in the ring he can't lose!
"Nope! I don't want those people to look down on me, what about foreigners? I'm going to beat him! Hum! Ha! ”
Bruce Lee punched out, almost with a strong wind, the huge fist collided with the hard plank, only to hear a bang, the two or three finger thick plank shattered, Bruce Lee's eyes were dull, and he couldn't believe the power of his punch!
"See, Bruce Lee! Do you still think that your strength is not as good as that of the little boxer? Don't be confined to a cage, all you need to do is break it, and if the little boxer does, fall under your fist! ”
Bruce Lee looked at Ning An excitedly, these words seemed to open up a new world for Bruce Lee, and he sincerely thanked Ning An with his hands and fists.
"Okay, you better go back and rest more, what the master said is still very effective, at least the first two fights, you must be beaten, you must restrain the anger in your heart when you are beaten, and then think about what I said before, it is not difficult to defeat the little boxer!"
After Ning An left, the senior brother followed quickly, the surprise brought to him by the little junior brother was too great, and a few words Bruce Lee was like being reborn, which opened his eyes!
