Chapter 136: Battle of the King of Thailand!
Let's go......!
The Chinese 'national martial arts' delegation, under the leadership of Tang Lie, vice president of the Armed Forces Association, went to Bangkok, southern Thailand.
After getting off the plane......
Everyone had a night's rest at the International Hotel Bangkok.
Early the next morning,
All the members of the 'National Warriors' delegation took the bus of the organizers of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' to the Bangkok Sports Center.
Bang......!
At this point,
The Bangkok Sports Center is preparing to open, and the atmosphere is very hot.
Today is the opening day of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand'.
It was very crowded everywhere, crowded with people, and the atmosphere reached its peak.
In the entire Bangkok Sports Center, more than 30,000 seats have long been full.
Many fans entered the stadium early in the morning in anticipation of the opening ceremony.
Chen Yang followed everyone into the Bangkok Sports Center.
When he felt the atmosphere of the scene, he was extremely emotional and shocked in his heart.
"It is worthy of being the top competition in Asian martial arts, and the atmosphere is too warm."
"Southern Thailand is a martial arts powerhouse, they have home advantage, and they have the highest demand for the final championship belt."
"Although the atmosphere in the domestic martial arts arena is warm, it lacks one thing."
"Cruel...... That's right, the smell of blood is missing......! ”
Chen Yang took a deep breath and silently felt the atmosphere around him.
After all, the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' is the top martial arts competition in Asia.
Compared with the atmosphere in the domestic martial arts, it is naturally much more intense.
meantime
Its influence is much greater than any martial arts competition in China.
At this point,
The 'Battle of the King of Thailand' has not yet begun, but the 'national military' delegations from Asian countries have come to the Bangkok Sports Center in southern Thailand.
In addition, the media from various countries have gathered here.
The reporter of Huaxia TV also came to Bangkok to broadcast on the spot.
At the same time,
The work team of the Douyin live broadcast platform also came to Bangkok early.
Unlike the focus of domestic television and other media work.
The staff of Douyin are all here for the [Soul of National Art] live broadcast room.
They all have Chen Yang's live broadcast as the core.
Douyin bought the exclusive live broadcast rights of all Chen Yang's boxing matches, which was limited to Chen Yang's boxing matches.
The other five fighters of the Chinese 'national martial arts' delegation,
The live broadcast of their boxing matches is all in charge of the organizers of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand', and the Douyin platform only bought the broadcast rights.
At this point, it was clear that the 'free fighter' had the advantage of not being restrained.
The other five fighters all have the gym behind them.
Even if Douyin wants to cooperate with them in live broadcasting, it needs to balance the interests of all parties, and it is difficult to get it.
And
Most of the boxing gyms in China are actually directly related to the live broadcast of the Penguin Group.
In general,
The broadcast of all the fighters in the domestic martial arts arena 'foreign war' is broadcast by the TV station in cooperation with the Penguin Group.
But now,
With the strong intervention of Chen Yang and the Douyin platform, it can be regarded as a gap in the overseas live broadcast market that Penguin Group firmly controls.
This is why the Douyin platform did not hesitate to spend a high price and directly bought the exclusive live broadcast right of Chen Yang's boxing match!
Of course
This commercial gamble needs to see how many rounds Chen Yang can score.
Starting from the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' in Southeast Asia, Douyin Group entered the business territory of overseas martial arts hegemony and officially began to expand.
Once Chen Yang can reach the sixth round of the semi-finals!
Then the influence of the Douyin platform will expand to the Asian martial arts arena.
Because of the exclusive buyout of Chen Yang's boxing match, all media in Asia need to buy broadcast rights from Douyin if they want to broadcast it.
The commercial benefits are simply immeasurable.
So
Douyin bought Chen Yang's exclusive live broadcast rights at a high price, which can be regarded as a big gamble.
Whether he can make a profit depends on Chen Yang's performance in the 'Battle of the King of Thailand'.
At this point,
South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, China, West Asia......
Fans from all over Asia cheered and cheered inside the Bangkok Sports Center.
Of course
Due to visa issues, the largest number of spectators at the scene was naturally from southern Thailand.
The King of Thailand personally presided over the opening ceremony of the 'Battle of the Kings of Thailand' on behalf of the royal family of southern Thailand.
This year's 'Battle of the King of Thailand' has a high ticket price.
The influence of the boxing tournament is too great, and no matter how high the ticket price is, once it is launched, it is still difficult to find a ticket in the end.
Fans who can watch the fight in person will naturally not care about the money for tickets.
Chen Yang glanced up at the audience.
Too many people......!
This year's 'Battle of the King of Thailand', the ticket revenue alone will be a huge amount of money.
And there are all kinds of sponsorships, advertisements, and more.
Although he finally won the championship belt of the "Battle of the Thai Kings", he can get a bonus income of 100 million US dollars.
At the same time, you can get dividends such as tickets, and you can get a total of 300 million US dollars.
If you add in the total prize money of all the quarterfinals of the fifth round,
The total expenditure of the organizers of the "Battle of the Thai Kings" will not exceed 500 million US dollars.
And looking at the atmosphere of the scene,
This 'Battle of the King of Thailand' organized by the Asian Martial Arts Federation has definitely made a lot of money.
It is no wonder that the Asian Martial Arts Federation is so rich, and holding such a tournament is not an ordinary way to make money.
Of course
As the organizer, southern Thailand can naturally make a lot of money.
What's more,
With fans from all over Asia flocking to the country, it can be a great boost to tourism in southern Thailand.
So
Every session of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand', southern Thailand attaches great importance to it.
They not only invested a lot of money in infrastructure construction, but also received a lot of investment from the Asian Martial Arts Alliance.
The Battle of the King of Thailand will be held for 10 days.
Seven rounds of battle!
After the opening match, go straight to the first round of elimination.
If you want to advance to the next round, you have to beat your opponents.
So
The boxing match was extremely ferocious, fierce and bloodthirsty.
Every boxing match is the most severe test of the mental state, strength, willpower, etc. of the fighters participating in the fight.
All fighters who participate in the fight, as long as they lose one game, lose the opportunity to advance to the next round and are eliminated.
Bang...... Bang......
In the sound of salutes, the opening ceremony of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' kicked off.
The King of Thailand delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.
Next
It is a cultural performance in southern Thailand, a variety of Buddhist culture, as well as Muay Thai performances, etc., which make people shout wonderfully.
The atmosphere became more and more lively as time went on.
Ten o'clock in the morning!
The opening ceremony of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' ended.
Then came the exciting moment.
Draw lots for the first round of the showdown!
For all the fighters who are in the fight, the draw is very crucial.
To be able to reach the first few rounds, it depends on strength, but also on luck.
Not everyone has what it takes to win the championship.
So
If you meet a seeded fighter with the ability to win the championship in advance, you are likely to be eliminated in the first round.
If you draw fighters from small Asian countries in the first round, it will be much easier to advance to the second round.
Everyone is looking forward to drawing a weaker opponent.
In this way, it will not be a 'one-round tour'!
If the draw is in the first round, the top king of Japanese island will meet the top Muay Thai king of southern Thailand.
Then the boxing match is interesting, absolutely exciting!
The pinnacle showdown will be staged in advance.
In this case, it is easy to lose both sides and lose the chance to advance to the next round at the same time.
Because
If the first round is too intense and the injury is serious.
Even if he wins in the end, he has to give up advancing to the second round.
The lottery is a random mechanism!
So
Any possibility of the first round of draws, there is a possibility of it.
It's not uncommon for the favourites to meet in the first round.
Perhaps it is because of the random mechanism that everyone is full of expectations for the 'Battle of the King of Thailand'.
If there is suspense, it is more attractive and exciting!
The results of the draw will be announced as soon as they are announced.
In the next two hours, we will enter the preparation stage for the first round of battles.
These two hours are very important.
Because the influence of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' is too great.
Major Asian conglomerates, financial companies, etc., are staring at this big fat piece of meat.
Gambling is popular in Southeast Asia!
Compared with the boxing match itself of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand', the real huge benefit is the huge gambling market hidden behind it.
This is the place where the major interest groups must compete.
Why is it said that martial arts hegemony has become another battlefield between the world?
To put it simply, it's actually profit!
The source of any dispute is related to interests.
The global gambling market is too big, who would want to let go of such a big market?
Sometimes, betting is not a simple matter of money.
It even includes the right to operate ports, shipping routes, and the interconnection of science and technology...... The opening of trade barriers and more!
in a word
In the ring, many things and disputes can be resolved to avoid a full-scale nuclear war.
The two hours after the draw of the 'Battle of the Kings of Thailand' was intended to allow a window period for betting.
Five minutes before the opening battle,
The channel for betting will be closed in time.
According to the data of major money banks in Southeast Asia.
The gambling funds of this year's 'Battle of the King of Thailand' will reach an extremely terrifying number.
From the first round to the final seventh round of boxing.
All the boxing fights combined, a total of 127 pinnacle fights.
In the first three rounds of matchups, perhaps the flow of money for betting will not be too large.
But
After entering the fourth round, the bet bankroll will skyrocket.
According to the statistics of the previous 'Battle of the King of Thailand',
After entering the semifinals of the sixth round of the semifinals, the amount of money wagered in each boxing match exceeded 20 billion US dollars.
And that's not even counting the periphery of the boxing match.
So
The more the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' is fought to the end, the more fierce and cruel the boxing match becomes!
Especially the final battle.
The total amount of betting funds in a boxing match is even more unimaginable.
After the opening ceremony.
The results of the draw for the first round of the 'Battle of the Thai Kings' will be announced soon.
Zhan Zhilei VS Ryuichi Kusanagi;
Qiu Jianqiang VS Park Junxiu;
Baili Qinglong VS Almarade;
Xiao Zhen VS Ruan Jingyun;
Hao Liancheng VS Gbaltu;
Chen Yang VS Kun Shuo;
The list of the six fighters of the Huaxia 'Guowu' delegation for the first round is out.
Tang Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the final draw results.
The results of the draw for the first round of the 'Battle of the Thai Kings' were lucky.
At least in the first round of the battle list,
Of the six fighters who participated in the fight, they did not meet the top masters of Hijima and southern Thailand.
Of course
None of the fighters who can participate in the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' can be weak.
Anyone who wants to advance to the second round will not be so easy.
"Kun Shuo? This guy in the first round of the lottery should be from southern Thailand, right? ”
"How's this guy?"
"It seems that there is no such guy in the information of 'Guowutang', I don't know if he is a master of Muay Thai training camp?"
"The most powerful Muay Thai kings in southern Thailand are all top masters who have comprehended the power of "Ancient Muay Thai"."
"Has this guy comprehended the power of "Ancient Muay Thai"?"
Chen Yang saw the list of his first round to fight, and muttered to himself.
He didn't expect that in the first round of his 'Battle of the King of Thailand', he would have to fight against the top masters of southern Thailand.
The Muay Thai fighter is fierce, domineering, and extremely difficult to deal with.
But
Chen Yang's heart did not have the slightest worry, but he was eager to try, and his fighting spirit was extremely strong.
He trained hard for a month at the 'Guowutang' training center in Beijing.
His martial arts realm has been completely consolidated.
moreover
He and the other five members of the 'National Martial Arts Hall' have to conduct actual combat training in the ring every day.
This time, he participated in the 'Battle of the King of Thailand'.
He has only one goal, and that is to win the championship and take the last belt!
According to the training of the other five people during this time.
Chen Yang has a detailed understanding of Muay Thai.
Muay Thai is very fierce and domineering.
Especially the leg skills, elbow strikes, and knee top kills, which are extremely fierce and extremely terrifying.
If Chen Yang's martial arts realm did not break through to the 'Ming Jin Xiaocheng' and integrate it.
Maybe he can't control his own power yet.
But
After more than a month of hard training, he has already integrated his basic attributes and power realm.
So
He is bound to win the final championship of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand'!
Anyone who tries to stop him from winning the championship will pay a heavy price.
If you take the past era of martial arts at its peak.
With Chen Yang's current realm of 'Mingjin Xiaocheng', he can also be regarded as a top master.
"Qiu Jianqiang, in the first round of this knockout match, your luck in the draw is the worst."
"You have to be very careful in this big battle."
"Park Junxiu, this guy, is a disciple of the South Korean Taekwondo 'Master Club', and is known as the strongest person in South Korea!"
"This guy's combat power is extraordinary, proficient in actual combat taekwondo, kickboxing, and Sambo combat skills!"
"With his record and fame in the Asian martial arts arena, you are not on the same level as him."
"According to the assessment given by the 'National Martial Arts Center', the probability of defeating him is less than two percent!"
"So when you get in the ring, you need to act on the occasion and don't be pushy."
"It's not a shame to beat it, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood!"
"Once you feel that something is wrong, admit defeat decisively, slap the ground three times with your palm, and remember!"
"I'm more concerned about your safety than advancing to the second round, understand?"
Tang Lie glanced at the list of players and looked at Qiu Jianqiang.
Call......!
Qiu Jianqiang took a deep breath, feeling a little aggrieved.
Horse-riding ......
Unexpectedly, in the first round, he drew Park Junxiu, the No. 1 master in South Korea, and he was ......really lucky!
But
hasn't fought yet, how can you weaken your momentum?
Qiu Jianqiang gritted his teeth, exuding an extremely strong fighting intent all over his body, and said in a deep voice:
"I understand! If the situation is not right, I will admit defeat. ”
"However, if the South Korean stick wants to beat me easily, it depends on whether he has such strength!"
"I've always wanted to fight him."
"This guy is known as South Korea's 'leg king', I look at his legs, how fierce ...... are his legs!"
At this moment,
Qiu Jianqiang's fighting spirit skyrocketed, and his fighting spirit was extremely strong.
Tang Lie glanced at Qiu Jianqiang and frowned slightly.
But
The war was about to start, and he didn't say much, so as not to affect everyone's state.
Everyone is the top master in the domestic martial arts, so they naturally know what they are going to do next.
Before he played, he planned how to admit defeat.
Then step on the horse and hit a hammer......!
So
Tang Lie just analyzed the current situation, and did not ask everyone what to do.
Next
After Tang Lie encouraged Qiu Jianqiang, he looked at Xiao Zhen.
"Xiao Zhen, in the first round of the showdown, your opponent is Nguyen Jingyun of South Vietnam."
"This guy's reputation in the Asian martial arts arena is extremely low, and it can even be said that no one will pay attention to him."
"However, if you underestimate this kid, you will suffer a big loss."
"No one in the Asian martial arts world dares to underestimate Ruan Jingyun, even the top martial arts king on Ridao, he doesn't dare to underestimate him."
"This guy is ruthless, vicious, extremely ferocious, and incredibly fast, making it impossible to avoid!"
"Before we came, we deliberately investigated Ruan Jingyun, this guy has been fighting in the underground boxing scene in Southeast Asia, and he has killed many people in the ring."
"He belongs to the super-first-class [agile] boxer, his speed is too fast, his attack is fierce, and his fighting style is just enough to restrain you!"
"So, you won Ruan Jingyun in the first round, and your luck is very bad!"
"It's still the same sentence, don't be reckless, find out that something is wrong, be decisive......!"
The first round of the Battle of the King of Thailand,
The luck of Xiao Zhen and Qiu Jianqiang is relatively poor.
The strength of their two opponents should not be underestimated.
At least in terms of overall strength, the two have little chance of advancing to the second round.
Tang Lie took the lead in instructing the two, hoping that they could ensure their safety and not care too much about winning or losing.
The draw results of the other four fighters, relatively speaking, as long as they play steadily, it is not difficult to advance to the second round.
According to the results of the first round of drawing,
Of the six fighters in the Huaxia 'Guowu' delegation, four should be able to advance to the second round.
So
The luck of the draw is very important.
"Ruan Jingyun!? I've not heard of it. ”
"How strong can this guy be? I didn't know if he could do it after I beat him. ”
"What about the best [agile] fighters? He can't be faster than Chen Yang, right? ”
"I've been practicing with Chen Yang in the ring for so long, I'm afraid of him being a hammer."
"Don't worry, Old Tang, it's just a South Vietnamese monkey, see if I don't beat him out of the Xiang ......!"
Xiao Zhen said unconvinced.
He is the No. 1 master in the Northeast and the top 'Sanda King' who ranks fourth in the domestic martial arts record.
How can you be afraid of a South Vietnamese boxer?
You know,
The South Vietnamese are generally small, like monkeys.
Xiao Zhen's figure was tall and mighty, and he was full of strength.
He came to Bangkok, southern Thailand, and he didn't want to be eliminated in the first round.
So
Even if Tang Lie repeatedly told him to be cautious, it would be impossible for him to give up admitting defeat to the South Vietnamese!
Xiao Zhen is a native of Heilong Province in Northeast China, with a straightforward personality and not so many thoughts.
Admit defeat to the South Vietnamese, and to be honest, he can't do it.
Call......!
Tang Lie looked up at Xiao Zhen, took a deep breath, and shook his head helplessly.
Depend on!
Waste of saliva.
Xiao Zhen, this kid is notoriously stubborn, unless you obey him, or he won't accept anyone.
In 'Guowutang', Xiao Zhen is notoriously a headache.
He didn't listen to anyone's words, even if Zhan Zhilei dared to shout directly in the ring to fight alone.
The only person who is afraid may be Chen Yang!
Because
Every time he refused, he would be beaten violently by Chen Yang.
If you don't accept it, you will fight until you are satisfied.
So
After a month of violent beating, Xiao Zhen was not only subdued, but also a little afraid of Chen Yang.
Tang Lie knew that it was useless to continue to instruct Xiao Zhen.
He can only encourage him, let him cheer up, and give full play to his combat power.
Moments later,
Tang Lie looked at Zhan Zhilei, nodded and said with a smile:
"In the first round of the draw, Zhan Zhilei's luck is okay."
"Kusanagi Ryuichi is the weakest fighter in the Hishima 'National Martial Arts' delegation."
"Although he is one of the kings of martial arts on Hijima, his overall strength is not particularly outstanding."
"This guy's offense, mainly legs, is very explosive, but not fast enough."
"Zhan Zhilei, as long as you play steadily, I believe it will not be difficult to defeat Ryuichi Kusanagi."
"Your extreme quick attack style can perfectly restrain him."
"Of course, as long as you get in the ring, don't underestimate the enemy."
"You are the old qualification of our 'Guowutang', I won't say more, you can do it yourself, just be careful!"
Zhan Zhilei smiled and said indifferently:
"I'll be careful! My motto is, as long as you get in the ring, never underestimate anyone. ”
Tang Lie nodded and didn't say anything more.
Zhan Zhilei is a representative figure in the Chinese martial arts world, and his combat power has always been very stable, which is reassuring.
In the domestic martial arts arena, he is mature, steady, and sophisticated, but he is the most reassuring one.
"I'm sure you'll make it through to the second round, but one thing you have to keep in mind is that if you can kill your opponent in the ring, don't show mercy!"
"This is another battlefield between the worlds!"
"Everyone has come to Bangkok, southern Thailand, and you are real warriors!"
"Every time you kill an opponent, you have an extra chance to survive and weaken the opponent's overall combat power."
"If you show mercy to your subordinates, you will be the greatest cruelty to yourself!"
"Because, the opponent can't be easy to show mercy."
"This is the Battle of the King of Thailand, put away your mercy!"
"Kindness is here, it is the act of the weak......!"
……
Next
Tang Lie is like an old woman, chattering non-stop.
He constantly analyzes the opponent and explains the opponent's weaknesses and style.
Tang Lie, as the vice president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, is specifically responsible for the 'foreign war' in the Asian martial arts arena!
So
He is like a treasure to all the masters of Asian martial arts.
He knew all the fighters who participated in the battle of the King of Thailand and did his homework.
At this point,
Chen Yang listened to Tang Lie's analysis of all the opponents in the first round, and what tactics he would use to have a better chance of winning.
Seriously, the more Chen Yang listened, the more he admired!
Know yourself and know your opponent to win all battles!
Tang Lie is definitely an extremely good master tactician.
If you face an opponent in the ring, the difference in strength is not particularly obvious.
According to the tactical play given by Tang Lie, the chances of winning are much greater.
Moments later,
Tang Lie finally looked at Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, your opponent is Kun Shuo."
"This man is one of the top fighters at the Muay Thai training camp in Bangkok, southern Thailand, and he didn't claim the title of Muay Thai champion."
"He hasn't even competed in a Muay Thai Championship in southern Thailand!"
"However, this person's comprehensive combat power should not be underestimated."
"I can't give you more advice, because I don't know this person, this is Kun Shuo's first time fighting in the martial arts."
"He, like you, doesn't have any fame in the Asian martial arts world, his foundation is too clean, and no one understands his style of play and style characteristics."
"The top masters from the Muay Thai training camp usually understand the power of "Ancient Muay Thai"!"
"They're all Muay Thai champions, so don't take it lightly."
Chen Yang nodded and said with an indifferent smile:
"Is 'Ancient Muay Thai' strong? I'm going to have to give it a try! ”
"Don't say that he just has the strength of a Muay Thai champion, even if he is the top Muay Thai champion in southern Thailand, what is there to fear?"
At this point,
Chen Yang behaved very calmly, his heart was unwavering, and he seemed to give people a sense of carelessness.
Seem......
He didn't care much about the first round of the 'Battle of the King of Thailand' at all.
Call......!
Tang Lie couldn't help but take a deep breath and frowned.
Fortunately, he knew Chen Yang's combat power very well and had seen Chen Yang's peak combat power.
or
He would definitely scold Chen Yang and make him put away his arrogance.
During the month of the 'Guowutang' training camp,
Chen Yang beat the other five people in the Guowutang so much that they didn't dare to go to the ring to train with him.
Even if everyone was wearing thicker protective gear, they were all beaten by him.
Tang Lie could only nod at Chen Yang at this time and encourage him.
Young people must have pride!
Be energetic and have a ...... of enthusiasm!
Tang Lie was still looking forward to Chen Yang being able to rush to the first few rounds.
People, you can be crazy!
But there must be crazy capital.
