Chapter 297: California Youth Boxing Championship
"Raise your head a little more. β
"The soot fell again, another one. β
"Don't laugh! I want the feeling I just had. β
"Ok! Perfect!"
With a soft sound, the photographer and the subject breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Yazd Bird looked at the photo, and Jennifer Brandi said excitedly: "Qin, how did you come up with this idea?"
"Hey, inspiration, inspiration. β
This guy is full of nonsense, huddled around the little director to check the shooting effect, he is wearing a sportswear two sizes larger on the screen, and the collar, chest, and armpits are yellow-brown, which is sweat stains that cannot be washed off.
The lower body is also two sizes larger, dirty jungle camouflage pants, hanging loosely around the waist, one leg of the trouser is pulled up to the knee, revealing high socks that can't tell whether they are white or gray.
He was wearing worn-out sneakers on his feet, and the heels had been stepped on - in fact, he wanted to wear liberation shoes with green rubber soles, but unfortunately the school props room turned over and couldn't find them, so he had to take the sneakers.
In his left hand was a bottle of beer with the logo obscured, and a cigarette was slanted at the corner of his left mouth, the ash had accumulated so long that it seemed to fall to his body if he shook slightly, and only a small slit was left in his left eye that was smoked.
But even so, his eyes were still focused on the mobile phone in his right hand, and he didn't know whether he was watching Douyin or a small volcano video, in short, he was concentrating, laughing happily and his eyebrows were dancing.
The background of the picture should be the road, he is sitting on a stone on the side of the road, the back is overgrown with weeds, there is a cigarette butt under his feet, and there are beer bottles on the left hand side, some empty and some unopened.
......
"You designed it yourself?"
Colin Barros was shocked, and he thought that the other party would change into a punk outfit, get some tattoos and scars on his body, a knife in his left hand, a gun in his right hand, a corpse under his feet, and a motorcycle in his back.
"Teacher, are you suspicious of me?"
"No, no, no, I'm just a little surprised. The strange man rolled his eyes, and Barros hurried to the steps: "The work is great, it is very good! It seems to be lighthearted, but it is decadent and numb." β
"There's a lot of contrast. Bird adds: "Like a slave who has succumbed to life, he does not feel sorrow and bondage, he does not have the idea of fighting or changing, he is numb to find happiness." β
"To describe it in a Chinese idiom, I call it going with the flow and making fun in suffering. β
Lao Qin's expression was strange. Although he was prepared, he was still shocked enough by the two guys who discussed art - how could he design? This photo is a true portrayal of his last life!
"A very graphic metaphor. "The steel-toothed girl holds her heart in her hands, and her eyes are full of little stars, "Fish and shrimp can't see the vastness of the sea, and can only rejoice in finding food with the waves and undercurrents." β
"Thanks, is your share done?"
At the mention of this, Jennifer was instantly stunned and said in frustration: "Only the last layer of coloring is missing, but when I see your work, I think I should make a new copy, teacher, can you give me a few more days?"
"I'm sorry, I can't. Barros spread his hands and explained, "The other people's homework has already been handed in, and I need to analyze your strengths and weaknesses according to the lesson plan, so I ......"
"Well, it's not your fault. β
The steel-toothed girl hung her head in frustration, Lao Qin thought for a while, and asked, "Teacher, there is always a order in analysis, right? If time permits, you can put her work to the end, maybe you can fight for a few days?"
"Well, it's not impossible. β
Colin Barros mused, after all, the purpose of homework is to allow students to combine knowledge and imagination, and it is good for Jennifer to be self-motivated, as a teacher, she can support as much as possible.
"In this case, you give me the assignment first, and if you can submit a new work before completing the analysis, I will score it according to your final choice. If not, use your current work to determine your grade. β
"Thank you, teacher!"
The steel-toothed girl cheered, and bit her lower lip as if she had made some major decision, Lao Qin glanced at it, feeling as if something was missing, and asked with a smile: "When did you take off the braces?"
"Ahh......h
"You just made a porcelain by the way?" the creature dragged her arm down and pinched her chin to take a closer look, "The effect is good, it is uniform and white, the doctor should ask you to be an image endorsement." β
"Really?" her face began to redden.
"Why are you lying to you?" Lao Qin looked at her face and hair again, blinked, and turned to ask Colin Barros: "Teacher, I passed my homework, right? I want to ask for leave." β
Not again!
"What's the reason this time?"
"The old wound recurred. β
This thing shook his arm, thinking about it and thinking that it was best to tell the truth, otherwise it would be difficult to ask for leave in the future after the game and the reporter's report, so he laughed twice and said:
"Actually, it's for the California Junior Boxing Tournament. β
"Well, for the sake of your honesty enough, how long do you take a break?" The teacher has long been accustomed to someone missing class all day, anyway, even if he is in class, he will not listen to lectures, except for writing and drawing.
"Probably mid-October. β
"Qin, I know that boxing match is only three days, and you told me that you are going to rest for three weeks?"
"Well, my grandfather and grandmother are buried in Huaxia, and I have to pay my respects. β
"I'm sorry, God willing. Referring to his deceased loved ones, Colin Barros had to express his condolences, "If you can, you'd better finish your next assignment before you leave." β
"Thank you, I will. β
Lao Qin dragged the steel-toothed girl, oh, it's not anymore, in short, he left the office with the girl and the little director, and sent the little director away in a few words, took out his mobile phone and began to harass him.
"Hi Julie, it's me. β
......
"Oh, no problem, but not today, I wanted to ask, which hair styling center do you like to go to?"
......
"Okay, what about skin care?"
......
"I'll explain to you later, send me the address. β
......
"That's it, I'll give you a ride another day. β
......
Jennifer had a faint premonition of his purpose, her hands were twisted together, and she was entangled, but she heard a loud kiss coming from the microphone, and hung up the phone with a smile, and stretched out her hand to invite:
"Don't say no, it's my homework. β
The girl even has to pay for coffee, and her temperament can be seen, but the teacher's words are still in her ears, and the realization of the design content is indeed the next stage of the homework of the two, so she had to say softly:
"I'll pay you back. β
"You just dress me up nicely. Lao Qin was full of resentment: "In the morning, a guy asked me what my greatest advantage was, and I said that I was handsome, guess what he said?"
"How?"
"He said my greatest strength was honesty, and he said that he might have lost sight!"
Jennifer laughed heartily, her lips were wide, she would show two rows of white teeth when she laughed, and there were no freckles around her mouth, if she wore lipstick, she really looked like Anne Hathaway.
"Don't worry, I promise I'll surprise your friends. β
"That's good, don't always worry about paying back, we are friends, friends should help each other, you just think this is the design fee, I've been ugly for almost 50 years, and I never dreamed that I would become so handsome." β
"Fifty years?"
"Well, you heard me wrong, eighteen years. β
"Fifty years you clearly said. β
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. β8090 .8090xs.
......
"Now, you know what to do, right?"
The hairstylist glanced at Jennifer in surprise and nodded: "It's not difficult, but it takes a long time, it needs to be dyed, and her hair quality is not good, so she must be cared for first." β
"I know you're no different from Mr. Tony. Lao Qin complained in Chinese, and whispered: "Give her the best, money is not a problem, but don't tell her, ok?"
βokγ You can go over there and take a break, we have magazines and coffee. β
"Thanks, let's settle the bill first, I still have something. The man waved at Jennifer, turned around and walked out of the store, and said without looking back for half a minute, "Why are you here?" β
"Interest is charged, plus remuneration for providing information. β
Julie tulled her blonde hair, intentionally or unintentionally showing her broad mind, in fact, she just wanted to see the new collection of collectors, and only after seeing the real person did she know that she was wrong.
"So, why don't you find a hotel to talk to?"
"I think the same way, at least two hours of care and hair coloring, can you?"
"Ha, it's not like you haven't tried, don't beg for mercy later. β
"Who begs for mercy is not necessarily. β
The dog man and woman hooked up, no one noticed the mirror in front of Jennifer and the floor-to-ceiling window behind her, the girl lowered her eyes, not sad or happy, and the careful thoughts in her heart were hidden a little deeper.
The ugly duckling hasn't turned into a white swan yet.
ββββββββββ
Lao Qin finally acquiesced to Amanda's request.
The third brother also lived at home for a week, and their mother and daughter were separated for more than a year.
He could only persuade himself to think as much as possible.
And Jiang Yuzhu didn't let him pick up people, the motherless child's desire for his mother is unmatched, no matter what her man explains, what profession is special, black history, he can't listen to anything.
Just one sentence: If my mother can come, will you also drive her away?
So Lao Qin was instigated, the woman's menstrual period was emotionally unstable, and if she provoked it, she would definitely have to drop the beans again, and seeing that she was going to separate in another week, why make her sad at this time?
......
It's Friday in the blink of an eye.
The California Youth Boxing Championship sounds lofty, but in fact, it has nothing to do with the World Youth Boxing Championships.
The contestants also know in their hearts that you and I are just willing.
Just like Lao Qin turned out a T-shirt with a check number when he went to the stall, the shopkeeper said that it was Nike's genuine tail goods, and if he sincerely asked for it, he would take it away, and he would still wear it with his chest and belly folded, and he was proud.
But imitations, there must always be some imitations.
The World Junior Championships are organized by the International Boxing Federation, and the entry requirements are under 19 years old and once every two years, so the California Junior Boxing Championships also require an age to participate, but it has been changed to once a year.
"Zhente Niang's picking, protective gear has to be brought. β
He muttered and squeezed in, Xiao Hei took the lead in front, Kane rolled his eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "Do you dare to wear the protective gear provided by the organizers? AIDS can be infected through bodily fluids." β
The thing immediately shuddered.
It's normal to sweat and bleed in boxing matches, but it's strange that the organizers can spend money to disinfect the protective gear, in case there is a hole in the body and the sweat of an AIDS patient is rubbed again......
Oh~~ Too wide to be afraid!
"This is the place where the game is held, right?" he pointed to the posters and roll-up banners that stretched from the door to the stands, "This advertisement is too trenched!
Kane held back his stomach ache and replied quietly: "The organizer collects money according to the advertising space, and this year's sponsor is the only one." β
"Ban, you bastard!" Old Qin roared.
It was only then that he understood what the ad was trying to promoteβhe had only watched the waves before, and when he got closer, he realized that the models were sitting, lying, or wearing boxing gloves to strike.
Underneath the body is the so-called multifunctional decompression chair.
"I'm the local tyrant?" he pointed to his nose with a sore face, "Why don't you stop him?"
"I'm not a shareholder in that company. Kane scolded him first, and then explained in a low voice: "Ben means that as long as there is a game you participate in, he will put an ad appropriately." β
"Why, there's a shady scene?"
"Shhhββ, don't talk nonsense, slander amateur boxing associations, beware of them disqualifying you. β
"It's just this broken game, cancel it, cancel it. β
"I mean your qualifications as an amateur boxer!"
Lao Qin was cowardly again, no matter how broken the venue was, this was also a regular game that had been prepared, and the referees were all members of the amateur boxing association.
There are some things that everyone knows by heart.
The 36 boxing referees of the Rio Olympics can all be banned by the International Boxing Federation (AIBA), who dares to say that there is no cat in this kind of small competition in front of them?
Lao Qin didn't want his dream to be stolen by the referee like Lu Bin, so he used advertising money to buy a fair, although he was helpless, but he didn't lose it, and it was a big deal to take a few more photos in front of the poster after winning the championship.
It's not illegal to endorse your own products, right?
......
The tournament was still a single-elimination tournament, but there were more than twice as many participants as the school's boxing league, after all, it has a California prefix and can be played by Californians under the age of 19.
There were also many bear children at the scene, they were under the age of 16, and they were looking around with a fierce look, and the gym coach and parents kept telling behind them.
"Wow! β
Lao Qin Xin said that it was no wonder that the game could be completed in three days, and there were only four rings in the basketball hall of USC, but there were twelve in front of him, and the game time was from morning to night.
Behind the stands, there is a huge electronic screen, which displays the names of the players who are about to play, the city and other information, and the contestants warm up on the spot, and then trot to weigh and wear protective gear.
It's so simple that you can't bear to look at it directly!
"Eleven heavyweights, twelve rings, what's the use of the extra one?cross-class challenge?" This thing came to his energy at the thought of cross-class, and Kane replied with a wilt:
"The ring is rented, and in order to prevent damage, one is left for backup. β
The venue is rented, the ring is rented, the referees are also rented, and the protective gear has to be brought by the players. β
"Shut up, as long as it's a regular game, don't ask anything else. β
"His grandmother, who tells me that the rice grain family has nothing to do with me, who is in a hurry. Lao Qin switched to scolding the street in Chinese, and asked, "I'll have a show today, are you two too?"
"It's all the same. Kane has played twice and is a veteran here, explaining: "There was a lot of people on the first day, so you could only play one, three on the second day, and the third day went straight to the final. β
Xiao Hei listened intently, he was also participating for the first time.
This goods counted on his fingers, there are about 60 people in the 64 kg class, 60 into 30 on the first day, 30 into 15, 15 into 8, 8 into 4 on the second day, and the semifinals and finals on the third day.
"Are there any worthy opponents?"
"Not necessarily, it's hard to attract famous boxers for this kind of competition, and the championship prize money is only 1,000 dollars, and the distance is basically not profitable after deducting travel expenses and accommodation expenses. β
"Okay, let me know if there's anything you need to pay attention to. β
Lao Qin glanced back at the big screen, his name was in the fourth row of the 64 kg class, which meant that he should play in three more games, so he didn't say anything more and silently warmed up.
He got up and smiled as the capitalized qin jumped to the second row.
"I went first. β
"Come on. β
