After training in Pengqiang Club for three months, Tang Long finally met the head coach and "God of War" Jin Tianya. One afternoon, under the guidance of Coach Zhang, he was hitting the sandbag with a combination of punches, legs and knees in the training area, when suddenly an unfamiliar voice came from behind:

"Don't drop your hand, you can't ignore defense at any time, when you can't fight others on offense, do a good job of defense, you can strike late and find a chance to win."

The sound was powerful and pierced through the roars of the training center and the thud of punching bags. He wanted to go back and see whose voice it was, but he knew he needed to stay focused in training, so he restrained his curiosity. When a group of training sessions was over, he turned around and saw a sturdy man with a height of 1.8 meters standing with Coach Zhang and Coach Ma Long, looking at all the fighters with a solemn expression.

He has a straight head, a white face, a pure white T-shirt, and blue jeans. He has wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, although the eyes of the single eyelids are not big, but his eyes are sharp, his arms, chest, and calves are bulging, he stands there straight, like a tall pine tree, his palms are naturally curled into a big half-fist, hanging down on both sides of his thighs like a sledgehammer, yes, this is the "God of War" Jin Tang, Tang Long recognized at a glance that the person who emphasized defense with them just now was Jin Tianya, and at this moment, he was standing in front of them alive.

His first face-to-face encounter with Chinese kickboxing legend Jin Tianya was a little panicked, and he was thrilled to think that he could get his guidance in the future. He didn't know whether to walk over to him to say hello, he saw everyone take off their gloves and quietly walk to the drinking area or bathroom, only the "Pengqiang Five Tigers" - "Smiling Assassin" Shi Tiancheng, "Fire Qilin" Zhao Kaishan, "Thundering Thunder" Sun Dalei, "Phantom Flying Dragon" Wang Dalong, "Leng Qilu Shaoxia" Zhang Bin walked towards him, surrounded him, and then also left the training center with the other students to drink water.

"Brother Tian is back." Sun Dalei walked up to him with a smile and lightly hammered him on the shoulder.

His voice was very loud, and when he laughed, his eyes narrowed into a line, and his red cheeks were round like a pink grapefruit.

"I'm back, I wasn't lazy in my days at the club, did I?" Jin Tianya asked.

"Coach Zhang and Coach Ma Long are staring at us tightly, how dare they?" Zhang Bin said with a smile.

"That's good." Jin Tianya looked at Coach Zhang and Coach Ma Long beside him and said.

"Tianya is back, did you bring back the delicious food from Thailand?" After Ajie saw Jin Tianya, he ran over with his four friends Zhang Shuai, Zhang Tiantian, Wang Xiaolin, and Li Mo.

Jin Tianya leaned down slightly, patted Applejack's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, there must be, I've always been thinking about you five snacks!" Just go to Cuicui and get it after training. ”

"Great!" Applejack jumps with excitement as she waves her blue bandaged hands.

When Tang Long finished drinking water and went to the bathroom, he found that Jin Tianya had changed into a fiery red training uniform, and was standing on the edge of the locker in the training area, wrapping a black VENUM nylon bandage on his palm, and a pair of red Twins boxing gloves next to him. Tang Long obviously felt that the atmosphere of the club suddenly became solemn, and the few students who were usually giggling in the gym immediately reined in and became very serious and focused after seeing Jin Tianya come back.

In the afternoon, the training process was warm-up, air strikes, and two people taking turns to punch sandbags and react. The first three links have passed, and only the reaction remains. Everyone put on boxing gloves and leg guards, the bell ......, the horn of the training center rang the bell to start training, and after a short break, the trainees began to find suitable opponents according to their respective levels, heights and weights to practice reactions.

Practicing reflexes is the same as punching a punching bag, it is a three-minute group, and everyone only uses 50% of their strength. When practicing reactions, everyone will find opponents whose level is almost the same as their own or whose level is higher than their own, and they don't like to find opponents who are a lot worse than themselves to practice, so that they can't get a good improvement, and Tang Long prefers to find Wang Gang to practice, Wang Gang never looks down on him because Tang Long is a newcomer who has just arrived, when he is practicing with Tang Long, he will always remind him from time to time to pay attention to the defects exposed when he moves, when Tang Long forgets to defend, he will not hesitate to attack Tang Long's exposed defensive gap, In Wang Gang's words: If you are beaten too much, you will become clever and powerful.

Three minutes later, the bell rang for the break, and after a minute of rest, everyone switched opponents and practiced the second set. This time, it was Jin Tianya who came to Tang Long.

The first time he reacted with Jin Tianyaxi, Tang Long was nervous, his brain was blank, he put on a fighting style, his feet moved quickly back and forth, shaking his upper body, but he didn't dare to make a move. Jin Tianyi kept stabbing him with brisk straight punches, measuring the distance while also creating obstacles to his straight punch attacks. Seeing that he didn't dare to make a move, Jin Tang was furious.

"Punch, why don't you attack?" Jin Tianya raised his lowered head slightly, looked at him with a frown, and shouted to him.

As soon as Jin Tianya shouted, he was even more flustered, so he jumped and cut in, and came with a front straight punch and a straight punch after a right belly punch, Jin Tianyi shook his shoulders, dodged his front straight punch and back straight punch, and his right arm was sandwiched in the right rib. Tang Long's belly punch landed on his elbow, and Jin Tianya barely moved.

"Relax, relax, relax your shoulders and arms, get moving." Jin Tianya patted his left chest with his right fist, signaling Tang Long to continue attacking.

Tang Long switched to another combination attack this time: a straight front and a straight left swing plus a right belly punch. Jin Tianya did not dodge this time, but blocked Tang Long's attack with a tight defense, and when he hit Jin Tianya in the ribs with a belly punch, Jin Tianya struck back, and a lightning-fast right belly punch had already hit his left ribs. Although Jin Tianya only used 30% of his strength, it was a punch from an 80-kilogram Chinese fighting king, and Tang Long felt his liver, spleen, and large and small intestines swing with his fist, like a swing that has been swung by someone.

A tingling pain emanated from his liver and traveled around his nerve veins. Immediately afterwards, Jin Tianya's left and right fists gently slapped on both sides of his head, and at the same time told Tang Long very seriously: "Defense, the hand has fallen." ”

The three-minute reaction exercise was quickly over.

"Young man, relax, your arms are too stiff, they lock your strength, you have to release your strength, such a punch can be lethal." Jin Tianya looked at Tang Long and said.

"Uh-huh, okay." Tang Long held his fist gloves, glanced at Jin Tianya, and nodded to him.

Kim Tianya patted him on the shoulder and walked to the locker room.

One afternoon, after his training at Pengqiang Fight Club, Coach Liu came over and told Tang Long to let him go to the head coach's office and the head coach would look for him. This is the first time he has come to Jin Tianya's office, the office is large, filled with Li Zhihui's fresh and elegant music, and there is a mahogany desk facing the door, and Jin Tianya is sitting behind the desk reading a book. On the desk are a white Lenovo laptop, a stack of blue folders, a basin of phalaenopsis, a pen holder, several books, and a bronze statue of Bruce Lee about 0.3 meters high. There are two black leather chairs in front of the desk, and on the wall behind the desk, there is a calligraphy work inlaid in a coffee-colored frame.

On the left side of the desk is a set of Chinese mahogany sofas, with a large coffee table, a set of tea sets, and a few cans of phoenix single bush tea in the middle. There is a big mahogany bookcase on the right side of the desk, the top layer of the bookcase is placed with the trophies, certificates and some English signed boxing gloves of the important awards won by Jin Tianya, below the top of the bookcase, all of which are filled with various types of books, among which Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, foreign philosophy and other books are the most, in addition, there are many books on literature, history, economics, management, martial arts and other books at home and abroad, and there is a tall and green fortune tree on both sides of the bookshelf.

"Sit, Tang Long!" After seeing Tang Long come in, Jin Tianya closed the book and said with a smile.

After Tang Long sat in front of him, he saw that the book was a hardcover version of "The Art of War".

"How long have you been at the club?"

Tang Long thought about it and told Jin Tianya: "More than three months. ”

"I tried my hand with you just now, and you practiced well, but it was a little stiff, if only you could relax a little."

"Yes, the coaches have told me about it and I'm going to fix it."

"Do you want to play?"

"Fighting?" Tang Long was stunned.

"Yes, after practicing for so long, if you go to the ring of a C-level event to exercise, you will improve faster."

"May I?"

"Why not? Believe in yourself, and you can. ”

"What game?"

"Kunlun City Heroes, at Futian COCOPARK Galaxy Plaza, December 16 at half past seven o'clock in the evening. In addition to you, Ajie, Zhang Shuai and Li Mo will also go to participate in the exhibition match, Sun Dalei and Wang Gang will lead the team, the appearance fee winner is 1,000 and 5, and the loser is 1,000, train hard! Go back and send me your ID number and a photo of your upper body. ”

"Okay, thank you, Curator." Tang Long said.

I didn't expect to be able to earn appearance fees after only coming for more than three months, Tang Long was pleasantly surprised, for more than three months, he didn't ask his parents for a piece of money, and now his WeChat wallet, Alipay, and bank cards add up, only 860 yuan, barely enough for his living expenses for a month, and he can only save money. However, with high-intensity training, the body consumes a lot of energy, and the demand for nutrition is also very large, and if you blindly save on your diet, you may drag down your body.

He has always been worried about the cost of living, and he is reluctant to bow his head to ask Tang Qiang and Jin Yuhua for money, because he knows that the only condition they give him for living expenses is that he stay away from the sport, but for more than three months, he has fallen deeply in love with kickboxing, and it is impossible for him to give in to them. And now, he finally has the hope of solving this problem through his own efforts, and he is excited.

"You're welcome, come on!" Jin Tianya nodded to him and said.
