Chapter 346: MGM, Boxing Match
"Zhou Quan, who are they?"
"Reporter."
"All journalists?"
Zeng Li was very surprised, knowing that Zhou Quan is an international sports star, but as a non-sports fan, the current domestic news is still relatively closed, and she doesn't know Zhou Quan's popularity and influence in the United States at all.
"Iron Fist, is this your girlfriend this year?" A reporter asked.
Zhou Quan was glad that Zeng Li's words didn't understand English, otherwise he would probably turn around and run away when he heard this.
Driving away from the airport, Zhou Quan said: "Ahri, I'll take you to the hotel first, eat something, and you can sleep first." ”
"I'm not sleepy, I've slept on the plane." Zeng Li shook his head and said.
"Okay, it's better to have jet lag at night. I'll take you shopping for clothes in the afternoon, and we'll fly to Las Vegas in the evening. He said.
"Buying clothes again? I didn't wear a few of the clothes I bought last time, they are all new, so I don't need to buy them. Zeng Li shook his head.
He shook his head and smiled: "No, the current style of clothes in China can't keep up with the United States." The fashion trend in this world is from Europe and the United States to Asia, from Japan to Xiangcheng, and finally to China, and now the popular clothing styles in China have long been outdated here.
You came to the United States, how can you do it without buying some clothes? Clothes, jewelry, perfumes, bags, shoes, these have to be re-bought, buy a little more, change every day, and do not repeat them for a month. You should have a special room at home to hang clothes, a cloakroom as large as 200 square meters. ”
Zeng Li looked at Zhou Quan, he didn't know what to say, and said in his heart, why is it so troublesome to be your girlfriend? There are so many clothes, I don't know how long I have to pick up clothes in the future.
At this time, the car entered the city, Zeng Li, looking at the bustling neighborhood outside the window, and said with some emotion: "It's so developed here, it's more developed than the capital." ”
Zhou Quan said with a smile: "China is also developing, as long as you find a direction, it will develop quickly." With so many people now, it is a huge consumer market, and as long as there is a consumer market, it can develop very quickly.
You see the change of dynasties in the past, the mountains and rivers were broken, and they can often develop in a few decades, what is the rule of Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, and the prosperity of Kangqian, all appeared decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, why, because there is no war, as soon as the population increases, it can develop.
Now that our country has also reached this period, I think that in a few decades at most, our country can also have a prosperous era, which is an unbreakable law of historical development. ”
"You live and work in the United States, so confident in your country?" Zeng Li smiled.
"Of course, I haven't immigrated either, and I don't want to lose my identity as a Chinese." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
Zeng Li sighed again: "There are many classmates in our Beijing Opera who want to immigrate, and I used to have a female classmate from Fuzhou who only studied for three years and didn't study, and I heard that the whole family smuggled to the United States, and I don't know what happened now." ”
"Then they'll regret it." Zhou Quan is sure of authenticity.
"Why? Even if it can develop at home, but the United States is so developed, how can they regret it? Zeng asked incomprehensibly.
Zhou Quan explained: "The United States is indeed strong, Su Lian's behemoth is gone, and now the past few years are its most powerful period."
But it also has its laws, and it certainly has periods of decline as well. And, you just see its prosperity, and soon we will pass through some slums, and you will know that in the United States, it is really not full of gold. It's a rich man's world, but it's not a poor man's paradise. ”
Soon, the car passed a slum, dilapidated houses, homeless people everywhere on the street, and hopeless faces, and the car encountered several robberies along the way.
It was the first time Zeng Li saw such a neighborhood, although the country is poor, there will be no such polarized neighborhoods in a city, which opened her eyes.
"The black man who robbed just now shot, did you hear me?" Zhou Quan asked with a smile.
"Ah, isn't that a firecracker?" Zeng Lifu was taken aback.
"Haha, it's the sound of a pistol." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"So dangerous here?" Zeng Li's face was a little pale.
Zhou Quan said with a smile: "The country has banned guns in the past two years, I heard that the year before last there was a battle of Majinggrad with a scale of several thousand people in our Nanhu, these in the United States are actually children, our martial arts are actually far superior to them, and the battle for the founding of the country proves this, haha!" ”
"I've heard about it, and I've heard that a lot of troops have been used." Zeng Li nodded hurriedly.
Zhou Quan advised: "The United States does not ban guns, so you should try to come to these neighborhoods as little as possible in the future, and don't park here when you drive by, or try not to pass through these neighborhoods."
It's also important to remember that you should never go out at night, as even the wealthy are not very safe in any city in the United States.
Of course, as I said earlier, in the world of the rich in the United States, such slums are chaotic, but in the rich areas they are quite safe, I mean during the day. ”
After coming to the hotel, settling down, and having lunch, Zhou Quan took Zeng Lixi to go shopping.
In the afternoon, hundreds of shopping bags were delivered to the hotel room, and the living room was almost full.
Zeng Lixi is a hanger, born in Tsing Yi, with excellent temperament, very good figure, and good height.
However, when it comes to picking clothes, it takes a lot of effort to pick out some clothes that are not revealing, and she is still very conservative from Peking Opera.
When she came back from shopping and saw the bags in a room, she said with a sad face: "It's troublesome in the future, how can you pick so many clothes?" ”
"It doesn't matter, pick slowly, pick clothes in an hour, put on makeup in an hour, drink coffee in an hour, and the morning will pass." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zeng Li couldn't help but glance at Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan came over and grabbed Zeng Li's thin waist, pulled it into his arms, and said ambiguously: "Ahri, I feel that your eyes are becoming more and more charming when you look at me." ”
"Where?"
Zeng Lifu was ashamed, and his red face blocked Zhou Quan's mouth when he wanted to kiss him.
After dinner, her spirit slowly came down, and Zhou Quan took her on a small plane and flew to Las Vegas next door, dozing off all the way.
At eight o'clock in the evening, a Rolls-Royce arranged by MGM Hotel came out of the airport, and the bright lights of Las Vegas made Zeng Li's drowsiness swept away and he was refreshed again.
"This is Las Vegas, the world casino?"
Even in the capital, she had never seen such a night scene, it was too electricity-intensive.
"This is a casino city, a city that never sleeps, it's nothing if you see too much, and the average American comes here, just like you do now, looking around with your mouth open." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Where do you look around with your mouth open?" Zeng Li was so ashamed that he punched Zhou Quan.
"Haha......"
Soon, the car arrived at the MGM Hotel.
In addition to the car where the two of them sit, there were a few cars with suitcases in the back, and the things they bought were all brought over, and when they arrived at the door of the hotel, seven or eight waiters came over at Hula.
Zeng Lixi got out of the car, looked at this five-star luxury hotel, opened his little mouth again, and thought of Zhou Quan's ridicule just now, and hurriedly closed it again. But entering the resplendent lobby, her little mouth opened again.
"Is this the Imperial Palace?"
She held Zhou Quan's hand and asked cautiously.
"The history of the United States is too short, there are no kings, at most they are slave owners, how can there be emperors? It's just a luxuriously decorated hotel, and we, the tenants, are the masters. Zhou Quan teased.
After a night of jet lag, waking up in the morning at a knock on the door, Zeng Lixi woke up and looked at the luxurious bedroom, feeling like a dream.
How did an ordinary girl born in an ordinary working family suddenly meet a boyfriend like Zhou Quan and come to the United States?
Is it really as Ah Zhen said, it is predestined? Will it be a good match? Can Zhou Quan really hold on for life, she was a little uneasy.
Distracted, the knock on the door sounded again, she quickly got up and opened the bedroom door to the living room, opened the door and saw that it was Zhou Quan.
"At eight o'clock, you wash up, and we'll go to breakfast." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Hmm."
Looking at the gentle smile on her boyfriend's face, Zeng Li's heart suddenly became very stable.
"When are you going to start training?" She asked.
"I woke up at five o'clock and had been training for two and a half hours." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Ah, you're training so early?"
Zeng Li said with some embarrassment: "I usually get up at six o'clock, and the first thing is to hang my throat, and I overslept today." ”
"I'm not acting here, so I don't have to get up so early. By the way, I haven't heard you sing yet, when will you sing to me? ”
"Okay!"
……
"Huhuhu......"
In a private boxing training room in Las Vegas, Zhou Quan is engrossed in dodging drills, and his fists occasionally pass his ears, but he always dodges them by the slightest margin.
He trains dodging not with a training ball, but with practical training, which is when the sparring fighter hits constantly, and he dodges.
His sparring partner is a professional heavyweight boxer, ranked in the top 30 in the world by the four major boxing organizations, and Bob Arum hired him specifically for him, and he is very strong.
His weight is too light for other heavyweights, resulting in a lack of striking power, especially heavy punches, even if his strength is now at 87.
So he has to give full play to his strengths, movement speed, full-level spatial imagination, full-level panoramic vision, dodging ability, precision strikes, arm span advantages, and so on.
Now he's going to focus on boxing pace, dodging and precision strikes, as well as actual combat.
Although the training time is still much lower than that of other professional fighters, another year has passed, and his dodge and boxing skills are getting better and better, and his use of full-level spatial imagination is getting better and better.
Zeng Li sat not far away, watching Zhou Quan train, and he was scared to see it, for fear that Zhou Quan would be hit, and sometimes he could stand up nervously.
Zhou Quan is still quite handsome, although she is not Yan Dang, she doesn't want his face to be swollen.
"Shet!"
After an hour, the sparring partner punched hundreds of times, only hitting Zhou Quan five times, and all of them were on the top of the huddle, which was not an effective blow, so he was so angry that he burst into foul language.
In his opinion, being a sparring partner for Iron Fist really hurt his self-confidence too much, and he couldn't even hit it.
When he practiced boxing and actual combat with Iron Fist for a while, he had to be beaten into buns again, which was really not cost-effective.
"Haha......"
On the contrary, Zhou Quan's team laughed happily.
"Iron Fist, your dodging and defensive skills are getting better and better." Zhou Quan's coach is still the original Hans, his level is good, and he is still used this time.
"After a year of practice, I have to make some progress." Zhou Quan gasped.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, he finished training, and at 10 o'clock, he took Zeng Li back to the MGM Hotel and went to the gambling hall to have a look.
Zeng Lixi is an absolute novice, novices are generally lucky, lose less and win more, after winning two or three hundred thousand dollars, he has won soft hands and feet, heart disease is about to develop, and he no longer wants to gamble.
……
From the 10th, the major gambling companies in the casino, as well as other gambling companies around the world, and even several major casinos in Macau, have opened markets for this game.
is different from Zhou Quan's last boxing match, and the odds of this match, there is no such obvious gap between him and his opponent.
But the vast majority of bookmakers are still more bullish on Michael Muller, with his odds being a little higher, reaching a maximum of 1:129, while Muller's highest odds are only 1:121.
On the 14th, many NBA stars and Hollywood stars arrived in Las Vegas, and many celebrities and wealthy people from all over the United States also arrived in Las Vegas on their private jets.
In addition to these people, many world champions in professional boxing have arrived, such as Lewis, Holyfield, Rydick Bauer, George Foreman, Michael Tyson, and even boxing champion Ali has also come to Las Vegas.
"I'm optimistic about that little Chinese guy, his control over space is even stronger than mine, and the space feels incredible, but he has to learn my butterfly steps to win the world boxing championship belt, haha!" Ali teased during an interview at the airport.
"George, who are you more optimistic about?" The journalist asked.
As the man who knocked Michael Muller out of the ring with one punch, a hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the heavy punch king Foreman, who looked down on Michael Muller.
After Muller defeated Holyfield and won two belts, including himself, a large number of boxing champions wanted to defend their title with Muller, but he chose his 45-year-old guy, which is clearly bullying him for getting old, and the truth is that he knocked Muller out of the ring with one punch.
"I bet on both the Iron Fist and the Hammer." He said.
The meaning of this is very clear, and he is not optimistic about anyone.
But with his strength and status, no one dared to contradict his words.
"Michael, who are you more optimistic about?" A reporter interviewed Tyson.
"They're all more bullish on the hammers, but I know Tekken has a better chance, and I'm betting on him to hope he doesn't let me down." Tyson said with a smile.
