118. The first game
"Cui'er, Chen Zhen, you two remember, when the time comes, look at our tea sets and tea, and you will definitely not be able to let people do anything."
In the Belya Grand Theater in the French Concession, Zhao Bo instructed Cui'er and Chen Zhen.
The Belya Grand Theatre is the venue of this competition, which has a large space and can accommodate thousands of people to watch, and the foreigners and wealthy Chinese businessmen in the concession all come to the Grand Theatre early to wait for the start of the competition.
The officials of the Qing government also came to the Grand Theater with a smile, and greeted those foreigners skillfully, without the slightest sense of tension, as if today's game had nothing to do with them, Zhao Bo looked at those officials, his heart was full of contempt, although the culture of China is good, but the indelible official-oriented thinking has really poisoned China for too long.
The ring was square, and on one side were three European players, opposite them were island businessmen with Tanaka Yasano, Zhao Bo and the people of the Jingwu Sports Association occupied one side, and one side was left for the referee.
On the second floor, there is a drumming performance, and the rhythmic beating of the drums makes everyone feel the tense atmosphere of the competition, and the audience who bought tickets are entering the stadium one after another, and soon this Belya Grand Theater is almost full.
"Brother Zhao, it seems that today is bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers."
Huo Yuanjia glanced at the entire Grand Theater and said to Zhao Bo next to him.
"It's okay to fight dragons, fight tigers, Brother Huo thinks too highly of these opponents, if they don't play tricks, how can they be our opponents."
Zhao Bo said that in the movie, Huo Yuanjia defeated the first three players without injury, only Tanaka Yasuno of the island country caused Huo Yuanjia a little trouble, even if Huo Yuanjia was poisoned, he could easily break Tanaka Yasano's defense, if it wasn't for the mercy of his subordinates, Huo Yuanjia's lore punch would be able to kill Tanaka Yasuno like killing Qin Ye.
"Brother Zhao, don't take the enemy lightly, since they have been selected, they must have some strength, and it is not okay to underestimate the enemy."
Huo Yuanjia said seriously to Zhao Bo, he was really afraid that Zhao Bo would underestimate the enemy and be defeated by these foreigners.
"Don't worry, Brother Huo, I despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically, I won't be arrogant."
Zhao Bo said that he must uphold Taizu's war thinking and drive these guys out of China.
"Brother Zhao, you are really joking, you can't lose this time, this is related to the face of our countrymen, Mr. Yatsen also came to see the game."
Nong Jinsun whispered to Zhao Bo next to him, Zhao Bo was also stunned, he didn't expect Sun Yat-sen to come, he was bold, but in this foreign concession, the Qing government did not have much power.
"Don't worry, for the honor of the country, I will do my best."
Zhao Bo nodded, whether it was because Sun Yat-sen came to watch the battle or not, Zhao Bo would do his best.
Seeing that there were more and more spectators and the game was about to start, people's discussions gradually became smaller, but watched a foreigner host walk into the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in today's martial arts competition, the four representatives of the Demon Capital Foreign Merchants Association will challenge Huo Yuanjia and Zhao Bo of the Jingwu Gymnastics Association."
Hearing the names of Huo Yuanjia and Zhao Bo, the Chinese people at the scene cheered warmly, although they had only heard Huo Yuanjia's name, but Zhao Bo was able to face the foreigners with Huo Yuanjia, which showed that Zhao Bo had some ability.
"The rules of this contest are based on one of the sides falling or signaling to admit defeat!"
The host explained the simple rules of the game, that is, the life and death certificate, although Huo Yuanjia did not want to sign the life and death certificate again, but this time it was the request of the Foreign Chamber of Commerce, and he could only do this.
After making simple preparations, in the introduction of the host, Zhao Bo and British boxing champion Peter Smith took the stage, and the first fight was hand-to-hand fighting.
British boxing champion Peter Smith is also about two meters tall, is it true that the boxing champions of this era are dominated by their size? I'm afraid that the Foreigner Chamber of Commerce has found the highest level of boxing champions to fight, it's really dirty.
Zhao Bo has long been accustomed to the filthiness of foreigners, and he already knows it in Ip Man's world, so he doesn't care about it, and bows his hand to Peter Smith.
After the referee rang the bell, Peter Smith immediately stepped forward and launched a scramble, punch after punch, each punch not leaving Zhao Bo's head.
Master Ip Man, see no, the apprentice is going to beat these boxers again, it's really a coincidence of fate, this time the apprentice won't be so embarrassed.
Zhao Bo casually dodged Peter Smith's fist, he had already done special training for boxers, and Peter Smith was not easy to hit himself, so Zhao Bo seemed very calm.
After letting Peter Smith attack three times, Zhao Bo's eyes changed and became very sharp, making your three moves a sign of hospitality, and then I won't be polite to you.
Discovering the change in Zhao Bo's momentum, Peter Smith couldn't help but slow down his attack, he felt that the little Chinese man in front of him suddenly became so terrifying, making him feel like entering the zoo to face a lion or a tiger, this is impossible, how can he be frightened by a Chinese person.
Peter Smith gritted his teeth to rearrange the attack, and punched Zhao Bo again, Zhao Bo just tilted his head, and the fist passed through Zhao Bo's ear, and Zhao Bo took a step forward, and hit the inside of Peter Smith's arm with both fists, after a round of "massage", Peter Smith took two steps back in a row, he felt that his arm was sore, and he couldn't use any strength.
What kind of witchcraft did this Chinese use, and why did he move so fast and have so much power? Aren't the Chinese sick men of East Asia? It doesn't make sense.
Can't believe his feelings, Peter Smith changed his fist, hook swept towards Zhao Bo, Zhao Bo only needed a slight iron plate bridge to let Peter Smith's fist, from in front of him, and then Zhao Bo straightened up, slid to Peter Smith's side, aimed at Peter Smith's side is a fist massage from top to bottom, so that Peter Smith's body can't turn back at all, and can only keep retreating to the side.
The continuous blows made Peter Smith very annoyed, gritted his teeth and swept his arm back, wanting to pull Zhao Bo out, but Zhao Bo had already prepared, squatted down, and dodged this sweep, Zhao Bo had already faced Peter Smith head-on, and continued to attack with both fists on the front midline of Peter Smith.
Peter Smith punched inward with both fists, wanting to blow Zhao Bo's head, Zhao Bo took a step forward, leaned on his shoulders at will, and Peter Smith's tonnage of more than two hundred pounds flew out, flying out five or six meters away to the edge of the ring.
This blow made the audience burst into cheers, and also made the eyes of Tanaka Yasuno of the island country light up, Huaxia is really rich in resources and talents, I originally thought that Huo Yuanjia was a master, but I didn't expect to see another master, and my choice to come to Huaxia was correct.
