Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Emma Watson

“Hey Robert, Daniel, I'm talking to you, what are you looking at?”

At the Gyro Greek Grill restaurant in downtown Orlando, eighteen-year-old Emma Watson waved her hands to the two friends opposite her with a cold face.

“Emma, what did you say?”

Daniel Radcliffe retracted his gaze, adjusted his round glasses and asked, while the golden retriever Robert Grint on the side was still staring at the TV on the counter behind him, paying no attention to Emma Watson.

Emma Watson glared at the two of them. They were recently filming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" at Universal Studios in Orlando. The filming for the past two days was not going well. She originally wanted to chat with the two about tomorrow's scene. But the two guys only listened to a few words, then ignored her presence and stared straight at the TV behind her.

“Are beauty pageants that good to watch?”

Emma Watson pursed her lips and looked at the two of them with disdain. Dirty men only like to look at bikinis.

“It's not a beauty pageant, it's a boxing match. The U.S. Golden Gloves Championship is held in Orlando. This is the final.” Daniel Radcliffe pointed at the TV and said.

Emma Watson looked back and saw a handsome boxer with short black hair, blue eyes, waving a red fist, and knocked his opponent to the ground with one punch. His opponent lay on the ground for ten seconds. Can't get up.

“Wow! That's awesome, that boxer named Link is so powerful!”

Robert Grint raised his fists and shouted excitedly.

“It's really powerful. His reaction speed is very fast. If he stands there and lets his opponent hit him, he won't be able to hit him.”

Daniel Radcliffe nodded and said.

Emma frowned and curled her lips disapprovingly: "Now all the powerful boxers are in the UK. If you want to watch, you can go back to London to watch. What's the point of an amateur boxer's match?"

Daniel Radcliffe smiled shyly and did not refute her words.

Golden Retriever Robert Grint said: "The United States also has powerful boxers, Holyfield, Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., and this boxer named Link is also very powerful. His match was broadcast on the Orlando Sports Channel just now. In the clip, he can win every game by KO. This is an amateur match. The opponent wears protective gear. He can actually beat the opponent to the point where he cannot get up for ten seconds. It is too powerful. Lewis may not be able to do it. I bet , he will definitely become a boxing champion in the future.”

“So what, boxers are violent, show off their wealth, fight, sexually assault, promote violence, and instigate young people to fight. I think this sport should be banned worldwide.”

Emma Watson said with a sullen face and a soft pink mouth.

Robert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe looked at each other and shook their heads. Women are terrible when they get angry. They canceled boxing as soon as they opened their mouths.

"Link! Tell me how to practice that move. I'll pay for it today."

The three of them were chatting when three boys came in from the door. The leader was a handsome boy with a slender and strong body, followed closely by a tall and thin blond boy, and the last one was a ferocious-looking boy with a fat body. fat man.

The three of them were all wearing sportswear, their arms were bulging with muscles, and they were walking very fast, like a gust of wind blowing by.

“Hey, he looks a lot like that boxer on TV named Link.”

Robert looked back at the TV and then at the leading boy. It was indeed the same person. "I'm going to get his autograph."

“Robert, is there something wrong with you? We are the stars, okay?”

Emma said, tugging on his clothes.

“Can't celebrities chase stars? Oops, I forgot my pen. Emma, can I borrow yours?”

Robert asked as he looked at the script Emma put on the table.

"no!"

Emma Watson refused coldly.

Robert rolled his eyes, got up and went to the counter to find paper and pen.

“Stop asking, you can't learn.”

At the dining table, Link finished ordering, handed the menu to the waiter and said.

“You didn't say how you know whether we can learn it or not. Tell us quickly. Tell us quickly.”

Mario urged as he patted the table.

Reggie also nodded expectantly.

Link drank the black tea and said with a smile: "To learn my trick, you need to have faster reaction ability. Have you ever teased a cat? You put your face in front of the cat, stare into its eyes, and flick its forehead with your fingers. , you will find that when you flick it, its claws have slapped your face."

"So simple?"

Mario asked as he scratched his face.

"Simple?"

Link glanced at him, do you think it's easy to react at the speed of a cat? Thinking that he has a simple mind and thinks about problems easily, Link doesn't bother to blame him for speaking out.

“Hi, are you Mr. Link Baker?”

A voice with a London accent came from the side.

Before Link could turn around, he saw Mario standing up abruptly, his fat belly almost knocking over the dining table. Mario stretched out his hands from a distance on the table and said in surprise: "Are you Ron the Golden Retriever? Are you really Golden Retriever Ron? I grew up watching your movies. Can you sign your name for me?"

Link turned around and saw Ron Weasley, one of the Iron Triangle of the "Harry Potter" movie series, whose real name is Robert Grint, being shaken by Mario's hand. Mario's strength It was so big that it made Robert's mouth twitch.

Link slapped Mario's hand away and invited Robert Grint to sit down and chat. He had watched the first three movies of the "Harry Potter" series and was fairly familiar with the actor.

Robert Grint told him that they were filming "Harry Potter" at Universal Studios in Orlando. They saw his boxing match on TV today and thought he was very good and wanted to get his autograph.

Of course, Link would not refuse to give the big star an autograph, and he also politely exchanged phone numbers. "Wow, that's Hermione? I like Hermione the most. I want his autograph."

Mario took the autograph book to Emma Watson to sign it.

Link saw Emma Watson and Mr. Harry Potter also there, and went over to say hello.

When he was about to leave, Emma Watson shouted crisply: "Hey, Mr. Link Baker, I would like to ask, as a boxer, what do you think the meaning of boxing is besides promoting violence? I mean that in a positive sense.”

Emma Watson is wearing a Chanel printed rose-colored dress, with golden curly hair, a slender platinum necklace on the delicate collarbone, a delicate and pretty face, and the elegance and intellectuality of a British woman. She has good appearance and temperament, like She is a little lady.

But the words coming out of her pink lips were like knives, making people want to cover her mouth to stop talking nonsense.

“Emma, you are so rude.” Robert Gretel reminded.

Daniel Radcliffe smiled shyly at Link and said: "Mr. Baker, Emma is in a bad mood today. It is not directed at you. Please don't blame her for being rude."

Emma Watson frowned and asked with a half-smile: "So Mr. Baker, do you not know the positive significance of boxing?"

Link smiled softly and thought this little girl was quite interesting. He sat down opposite Emma, stared into her eyes and said: "Miss Watson, it's not that I can't answer this question, it's just that I think this question is too childish. , it's hard to believe that you asked.”

"What? You dare to call me naive?" Emma Watson clenched her little fists and stared at him angrily, as if she wanted to compete with him. She snorted coldly, "OK, then tell me, my problem Where is the childishness?”

Link raised a finger and said: "I think boxing should be the greatest sport in the world, bar none."

“Hmph!” Emma Watson wrinkled her delicate nose in disdain.

Link didn't take it seriously, "First of all, it represents a spirit. If you know the sport of boxing, you should know that it has a competition called the Boxing Champion Challenge. Ordinary boxers can challenge the world boxing champion. He Although he knows that the world boxing champion is powerful, he still dares to challenge and does not back down even if he is beaten to death or maimed. What kind of spirit is this? "

“Brave!” said Daniel Radcliffe.

“Fearless!” Robert said excitedly.

“This is unyielding, this is opposition to power, this is the weak who is not willing to be enslaved, and wields a fearless iron fist against the strong. This is the greatest human spirit.” Mario held his head high, clenched his fists and shouted.

Emma Watson blinked and snorted softly: "Billiards, tennis, golf, you can also challenge the champion."

"Can it be the same? A group of people bullying a ball? Can it be compared with a fist-to-flesh boxing?" Mario retorted with his big nose raised.

Link waved his hand and said with a smile: "Boxing is also a kind of civilization. Since the 19th century, white supremacy culture has become popular around the world. Blacks, yellow people, and Mexicans will be discriminated against in the United States. Boxing champions Joe Louis and Murray Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee, they defeated white boxing champions in the ring, broke racial discrimination, and were regarded as heroes by people of color. Boxing is also a sport that promotes racial equality, embodies social fairness and justice, and modern civilization. Do you think it has What's the positive meaning?”

Emma Watson blinked, feeling as if she had said the wrong thing.

Link raised another finger and said with a smile: "Thirdly, boxing is also a culture."

"enough!"

Emma Watson grabbed his hand, blinked her eyelashes, and said weakly: "Dear Mr. Link Baker, I was wrong, I was really wrong, boxing is very meaningful, it was my idea too You were naive, I apologize."

“OK!”

Link smiled softly, "It's good to know that you are wrong. You are still young and a little magician. I won't argue with you."

Hahaha!

Several men at the table laughed.

"snort!"

Emma Watson glared at him, rolled her blue-green eyes, and said with a click of her mouth: "Link, Muhammad Ali boxed for fairness and equality, what are you boxing for?"

"make money!"

"make money?"

Several people looked at him in surprise. Just now he opened his mouth to be lively and shut up to be civilized. Now he said that boxing was for making money. The gap was too big.

Emma Watson opened her small mouth. Originally, she was here to dig a hole. No matter what Link said, she would say that Link was hypocritical. But when Link opened his mouth, he told the truth. He told her that there was nothing to trap. What a bastard. The response was also quick.

“Is the goal of making money vulgar?”

Link looked at a few people with a smile.

“No, no, no! Of course not!”

Mario, Robert, Daniel, and Reggie all shook their heads. The work they are doing now is also to make money.

Link looked at the beautiful Emma Watson and smiled: "Miss Emma, do you have any other questions?"

Emma Watson rolled her eyes and said, "No, I hope you become a billionaire soon."

"Thank you! Miss Emma, I am your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?"

Link smiled and pushed the pen and notebook in front of her.

“Are you my fan? Are you sure?”

Emma Watson doesn't believe it. This guy contradicts and embarrasses his idol as soon as they meet him. Is this how fans should behave?

"real!"

Link said with a smile.

Emma Watson looked at him, signed the book happily, and left a phone number.
