Chapter 5: Dragons and Fish Horrors (6)

"What about the last game?" Tang Long looked at Coach Zhang, whose eyes were shining with excitement, and asked.

The last appearance is the 80kg level Bian Maofu vs Lai between the game, the two masters have had a rub in the ring, in 2009 World Kung Fu King Championship because Lai was eliminated by Iranian players in advance, the two missed a chance to fight, but strong opponents will always meet unexpectedly, tonight can also be said to be specially for the Muay Thai king who has been threatening to kill Chinese kung fu in seconds - to arrange a "holy fight dinner". Bian Maofu is a leading figure in the Chinese sanda industry after Liu Hailong, with an impressive record, and it is said that in order to participate in this year's Sino-Thai match, he has to admit that this move has inlaid a halo for this event! Bian Maofu is known as the "King of Iron Legs", as soon as he got on the field, he threw a few whip legs to Coklee to get a few points first, from here you can see that the "King of Iron Legs" is indeed worthy of its name, but the game does not have the audience's imagination There will be a white-hot situation, maybe the first two games are too cautious, or maybe they are afraid of Coke's arrogance before the game, and they dare not let go of the game, so that the advantage of the King of Iron Legs is not well played, and it seems that Coke is not in a state today, but on the whole, people feel that they are playing more conservatively, in the last two games, Both sides should be physically exhausted, and in the end, Bian Maofu won by points, and the Chinese team defeated Muay Thai 4:1.

"Did there ever be a confrontation between China and Thailand?" Tang Long asked Coach Zhang.

"Subsequently, on December 18, 2010 and June 11, 2011, the 7th and 8th China Sanda VS Professional Muay Thai Championships were held in Shunde, Guangdong Province and Hefei, Anhui Province, respectively.

"'Monarch of the Gods' John Wayne and 'Bad Boy' Simon Marcus?" Tang Long asked in surprise.

"Yes, you know them, too?"

"Of course they do, because they're too famous."

"Yes, John Wayne was ranked No. 1 in the world Muay Thai at the time, although he was 35 years old, he had just defeated one of the four Thai Muay Thai kings, "Computer Fighter" Yodsanklai, and Zhang Kaiyin's former subordinates defeated the Muay Thai champion 'White Lotus Chop' Lan Sangkun, and Simon Marcus, as a Canadian black boxing champion with strong physical fitness and a soaring style of play, mainly competed in the 80kg class, was the 2007 world Muay Thai champion, and was famous in the world Muay Thai world. In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Thai World United 3-2 with the victory of Zhang Kaiyin, Ji Haitong and the women's Miao Yujie, and the Chinese team won the confrontation with the World United.

"What about the 2011 Sino-Thai Championship?"

"On June 11, 2011, at the Hefei Olympic Sports Center in Anhui Province, after five bouts, China Sanda defeated Muay Thai by the same score, following a 3-2 victory in Shunde, Guangdong Province the previous year. Among them, the Chinese sanda team Fu Gaofeng, Chang Ye Xiang, and Man Jiangang won the victory for the Chinese team, while Zhang Junyong suffered a TKO, and Guo Xingxing lost to Marcus again after Guangdong Shunde. This is the century-old history of confrontation between Chinese martial arts and professional Muay Thai since the 20s of the 20th century, spanning from the 20th century to the 21st century. These inheritors of Chinese martial arts culture, these real warriors, once faced with tough opponents, in order to defend the honor of the country, the dignity of the nation and the position of Chinese martial arts, with a bloody sword, they should not be forgotten by history, worthy of people to remember. ”

"It's a pity......" Tang Long sighed and took a sip of beer and said.

"Uh......" Coach Zhang gave a comfortable hiccup, "What is a pity?" ”

He had already drunk one bottle of strong wine, and the other bottle was only a fifth left. On the coffee table in front of him, peanut shells, chicken claw bones, and orchid bean shells were piled up into a small mountain.

"Many people don't know about the wonderful century-old battle between China and Thailand, and what I know is only the sixth Sino-Thai confrontation match where Zhang Kaiyin knocked out Lan Sangkun."

"In an era of entertainment to death, in addition to the gossip of some film and television stars, Internet celebrities, businessmen and celebrities, what can you expect giant babies with pacifiers to care about? They don't care about anything but their own sensual pleasures. ”

"How many times did you play against the Thais when you were in the Beijing Sanda team?"

"I have participated in the second Beijing Hong Kong Fighting Meeting held in Beijing, and I have also participated in some national sanda competitions on behalf of Shichahai Sports School and Beijing Armed Police Force many times, the first time I fought with Muay Thai fighters, it was the second Beijing Hong Kong Fighting Meeting, I remember that I played a 70 kg match, although I won the game mainly by wrestling, but the opponent's leg was really too hard, after the game, my left leg was swept almost difficult to walk, and the thigh was bruised, I even suspected that my leg was kicked off, but fortunately I did not hurt the bone after the examination, However, it took three months of recuperation before he resumed his daily training. ”

"And then?"

"Later, after a few years of fighting, I left the sanda team and went to Thailand, and after a few years in Thailand, I returned to the Jiangcheng city of Wuhan and opened a gym in Zhongjia Village, Hanyang District, Wuhan."

"Coach Zhang, are you also from Hubei?"

"Yes, from Wuhan, Hubei."

"We are fellow villagers, I am from Xianning, Hubei, and I am really destined." Tang Long smiled.

"There are several Hubei people in the club, and the head coach is also from Wuhan, Hubei."

"Really? That's great. ”

"Yes, he grew up doing sanda in my gym, and I grew up watching him."

"Why did you leave the Sanda team and go to Thailand? After returning to Wuhan, why not continue to run a gym in Wuhan and come to Shenzhen? ”

Coach Zhang was stunned and wanted to say something, but finally held back again. He took out his half-new and half-used Huawei mobile phone from his trouser pocket, lowered his gaze and looked at it, and said: "It's half past two in the morning, young man, go back early to rest, my saliva is dry, don't ask so much, thank you for the wine." ”

"You're welcome, Coach Zhang, I hope to give me more guidance in the future."

"Okay, come on, I'm optimistic about you."

"Thanks, I'll keep going." Tang Long nodded and said.

Tang Long quickly sorted out the garbage on the coffee table, and after Coach Zhang locked the door of the club, Tang Long walked downstairs with Coach Zhang with his bag and said goodbye downstairs. Coach Zhang and the boxers of the club lived in a community, and Tang Long hailed a taxi downstairs and took a taxi back to Shenzhen University. Although there are cars passing through the streets, there are few people. The mobile police booth flashed a dazzling red light in the shadows of the trees, and occasionally the delivery boy could be seen riding an electric car, running through the dim lights at a great speed, running into the distance. A group of subway workers, wearing hard hats, reflective yellow vests, white linen gloves and toolboxes, walked out of the subway entrance, they had just finished overhauling a section of track. In the early hours of the morning, he fell asleep exhaustively on the soft night, but Tang Long was completely sleepy, and the excitement brought by the first fighting match in his life was about to go to the ring, burning in his blood like high-concentration coffee.
