Chapter 608: Fighting to Win Over

"I'll go! This guy is too fierce. He can even knock people out in amateur matches. Where did he come from?"

Under the ring, No. 7-011 Zhang Wenlong was stunned as he watched the match on the ring. Before the match, he went to Liu Wei and asked Liu Wei to help teach Link a lesson, but Liu Wei was knocked out by Link within the first round.

You must know that this is an amateur competition. The boxers wear balaclavas and have high defense. It is very difficult to knock people unconscious.

In addition to having a certain punch weight, you also need to have high boxing skills to break through the opponent's defense, ignore the opponent's dodge, and hit the opponent accurately.

The difficulty of KOing an opponent in an amateur competition is ten times or a hundred times that of winning by points.

But this guy named Link successfully KOed Liu Wei in the first round and beat Liu Wei until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

That's awesome.

Zhang Wenlong looked at Link with a calm expression on the ring, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. This guy knocked someone unconscious without changing his expression. He must be a ruthless character, like a cold-blooded killer in a movie.

"Brother Long, Brother Long, I asked."

A teammate of the school boxing team ran over from the crowd, quickly talked about Link's situation, and then smiled coldly, "Brother Long, this guy comes from a small place and doesn't understand the rules. Should we call a few people over?" Take advantage of him to go to the toilet and teach him a lesson? "

"Stop messing around!"

Zhang Wenlong waved his hand decisively, "This guy can knock people out even with gloves. If he doesn't wear gloves, he can kill people with one punch. It's better not to mess with this kind of person."

"I know a few Sanda team members, how about asking them to take action?"

the opponent asked.

"This is a regular game. If you lose, you lose. If you seek revenge afterward, you just can't afford to lose. I'm not the kind of person who can't afford to lose."

Zhang Wenlong shook his head and told his teammates not to mess around and fight in the school, which would have a bad impact.

——

"He can actually KO Liu Wei? This Link is really good, very good."

Under the ring, coach Zhao Liwei shook his fist excitedly. He originally saw Link defeat No. 7-011 cleanly in the second round and thought he was pretty good and had some training value.

Now Link can KO Liu Wei, a boxer who reached the semi-finals of the last amateur boxing championship, in the first round.

This shows that Link is very strong. If he participates in the National Boxing Championship, he has a great chance of entering the finals and even winning the championship.

A person who has the ability to win the national boxing championship, if he performs well, has a great chance of entering the national team and becoming a national player.

If I could become his coach.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liwei clenched his fists and trembled with excitement.

Just as he was about to go up to greet Link, he found that old Chen Chen Zutao and boxing coaches from several clubs rushed to Link's side. Each of them looked at Link intently as if they were seeing a treasure, and followed him very enthusiastically. Link greeted.

"These shameless people, I was the one who discovered Link first."

Coach Zhao Liwei cursed secretly and rushed to Link's side.

"Link, you are a good boxer. Who did you practice with? Who is your coach?"

Teacher Chen Zutao asked.

Link wiped his sweat with a towel and said with a smile: "I just watched boxing videos and practiced casually without a coach."

"No coach?"

"Just practice casually?!"

"Can you achieve this with just a little practice?"

Coach Zhao Liwei, Teacher Chen Zutao, and several other boxing club and team coaches looked at Link in shock, with even more eager eyes.

A wild boxer like Link is a rare gem in the eyes of these coaches. If such a person is trained well, it is a credit to him to be sent to the national team.

If Link performs well in the national team and wins trophies and medals at domestic and international sports meets, he will also receive many benefits as his coach, and the boxing club that trained him will also receive many benefits.

"Link, you haven't joined the school boxing association yet, have you? Let's go ahead and register now. From now on, you can use the school's training equipment and venues as you wish."

Teacher Chen Zutao took the lead.

"Link, I am Li Cheng, the head coach of Tianlong Boxing Club. Does Zhang Zhibo know? I am a boxer in our boxing gym. On behalf of the boxing gym, I now invite you to join. After you become a boxer in our boxing gym, you can use not only the equipment and the venue, but also There are also dedicated sparring partners and coaches to help improve your strength and help you win the championship.”

shouted a short, middle-aged man.

"Classmate Link, I am the coach of the boxing team of Shichahai Martial Arts School. If you join our boxing team, not only the venue equipment will be used for free, but the coaches and sparring partners will help you train for free. There will also be a monthly subsidy of 500 yuan. How about joining our boxing team of Shichahai Martial Arts School? Sample?"

"Classmate Link, join our boxing club and get a monthly subsidy of 800 yuan."

"1,000 yuan for us."

A sharp-eyed coach saw that Link's clothes were shabby and he was wearing tattered sneakers, so he quickly spent real money in an attempt to bribe Link.

Coach Zhao Liwei gritted his teeth in annoyance. These colleagues were too unreasonable. They should be sincere in wooing boxers. How could they keep raising the price like in an auction?

"I can help you join the national team with a monthly subsidy of 3,000 yuan."

Coach Zhao Liwei shouted.

"oh?"

Link was in a dilemma. When he heard that the other party could help him join the national team, he immediately became interested.

Due to different national conditions, the situations in the Chinese and American boxing circles are also different.

Americans like to watch boxing matches, and boxing is highly commercialized. In the United States, he can join a boxing club at will, become famous through boxing matches, and then turn his strength and fame into wealth step by step.

It is different here in China. The main significance of the existence of Chinese boxers is to help the collective compete for honors. A boxer who represents the country and wins the gold medal in the Olympics has a higher social status than a boxer who has won the world championship of the four major organizations. High, the influence in the country is greater.

This is the difference between Xiong Chaozhong and Zou Shiming. They are both small-level world champions. There are dozens of times more people who know Zou Shiming than Xiong Chaozhong.

In terms of making money, Olympic champions also earn more through advertising endorsements.

If Link stops playing amateur games and directly enters the professional boxing world, he can join a club directly without considering the national team, and then go overseas to participate in professional competitions, step by step to become the boxing champion of the four major organizations.

Link's career plan is to first play amateur games, represent the country in the World Championships and the Olympics, and compete for honors for the country.

After first making a name for himself in China, he then moved to professional boxing to compete for the gold belts of the four major organizations.

Compared with the former plan, the second plan is slower, but has more benefits.

First of all, as a Chinese, it is everyone's ideal to win glory for the country. Now that I have the strength and the opportunity, I can't miss it.

Secondly, representing the country in the Olympic Games, during which all the country's media will help promote it, is of great benefit to improving one's reputation and social status, and making one famous faster.

Finally, boxing in China is now very niche, with neither soil nor market. This environment is not conducive to the development of professional boxers.

First represent the national team in the competition, let the national media help promote it, and become a boxing star. It can also increase the popularity of boxing and expand the market.

After entering the professional boxing world in the future, this kind of fame will also be transformed into wealth and even official position.

Therefore, although the second type of career planning is slower, it has more benefits.

"You are?"

Link took a look at the other person and saw that he was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. He was not tall and not very strong. He was wearing a square-collared shirt and carrying a black leather bag. He looked gentle and a bit ordinary.

The only bright spot on his body is his eyebrows, which are dark and thick, as if drawn with charcoal.

The eyes under the thick eyebrows are also very bright. This kind of appearance is exactly the thick eyebrows and big eyes that are highly respected in traditional Chinese culture.

"Haha, hello Link, my name is Zhao Liwei, and I am the coach of our Kyoto Sports Center boxing team. Your boxing skills are very good. If you participate in this year's boxing championship, you will definitely get a good ranking. I am here I promise you that as long as you can win the 69kg championship, I will help you join the national boxing team, how about it?”

Zhao Liwei pushed aside several colleagues, walked up to Link, grabbed his hand and shook it warmly.

When the coach Chen Zutao heard what he said, he was stunned for a moment. It turned out that he did not join the national team directly, but waited for Link to win the championship before helping him join.

According to this calculation, not only Zhao Liwei can do it, but many people present can do it.

Because according to the regulations of the national team, anyone who gets a good ranking in the national boxing championship has a high chance of being recruited into the national team, and he does not need Zhao Liwei's help at all.

This guy thinks Link is ignorant and comes here to fool people.

"Link, I can also help you join the national team. You don't need to win the championship. You just need to be top three in the 69 kg class."

Several coaches shouted without giving up.

Zhao Liwei was so angry when he heard this that he glared at several people and said with a smile: "Don't listen to their random shouting. Some of them are from clubs and some from sports schools. They are not part of the regular establishment. Our city's sports center is organized and affiliated with the national team. Joining the sports center boxing team is equivalent to joining the national team's reserve team, which they definitely cannot compare with. "

"Sounds good to me."

Link thought for a while and decided to cooperate with the other party for a while.

If the cooperation is good, he will consider joining the Sports Center and joining the national team next. During this period, the other party can also get to know him. This is a process of mutual consideration of each other.

The time limit runs from now until the end of the National Boxing Championship.

If you don't perform well in the tournament, your opponent will also have the opportunity to regret it.

"Link, it's settled. With your boxing level, you will definitely get a good place in the championship. I have confidence in you."

Coach Zhao Liwei patted Link's shoulder enthusiastically, glanced at several colleagues, smiled, and unconsciously showed a proud smile.

"Hmph! Lao Zhao, you are lucky."

"Teacher Zhao, congratulations on finding a good seedling."

"Link, come to Tianlong Club when you have time. Our conditions there are better than those at the Sports Center."

The coaches didn't grab anyone, didn't bother much, and returned to their seats to watch the other boxers' matches.

I originally thought that today's match was good, and a few boxers fought well. But after watching Link's match and fighting style, I found that the people I was optimistic about before were just like that, far behind Link.

It's a pity that Link was snatched away by that cunning guy Lao Zhao.

"Teacher Zhao, is the 3,000 yuan monthly subsidy you just mentioned true?"

Link asked.

"Of course it's true, but I can't help you apply until you join the competition center."

Coach Zhao Liwei said with a smile.

"Teacher Zhao, it's like this. I'm in financial difficulty now. Can I get a few thousand dollars in advance? I heard that the champion of the championship will get a bonus. I will pay you back after I win the championship."

"Okay! Hehe, actually you don't have to win the championship. You are still young. It's good to get the top three in the first championship. After the championship, we will practice for two more years and strive to win the championship next year."

Coach Zhao Liwei said.

Link nodded and didn't say much.

The preliminary round of the selection held in the school ended quickly. One or two boxers were selected from each level to participate in the Kyoto City Regional Selection. The winner represented Kyoto City in the National Boxing Championship held in Xichuan Mianyang.

The second round of the selection is much more difficult than the first round.

The contestants in the first round were mainly boxing enthusiasts from the boxing associations of various universities around the Sports University, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology, Agricultural University, Renmin University, Jiaotong University, etc.

The boxers participating in the second round are quite diverse, some from military regions, some from the police force, and some from various boxing clubs.

These people are older, most of them are over 20 years old, and some are in their 30s.

Their boxing skills may be average, but their strength, speed and willpower are not too bad, and they are very difficult to fight.

It took Link a lot of effort to defeat several opponents and get the qualification to participate in the national championship.

Because of his exquisite fighting style in the competition, he defeated his opponents with a large difference in every game, and won many times by KO, which also made him famous in the Kyoto boxing circle. Many people who practice boxing know that Kyoto Sports University has a boxing master named Link.

In addition, Link also has some more boxing fans, such as Zhang Wenlong, No. 7-011, who enthusiastically calls him "Brother Ke" every time he sees him, saying that he wants to worship him as a teacher and learn boxing from him.

Link did not agree. If it were in the past, he would still consider it, but not now.
