Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 611

 Chapter 611 Championship Champion

After deciding to participate in this year's University Games, Link will also take time to practice shot put on the track and field while practicing boxing.

In the school trials held on Wednesday, Link threw 18.05 meters in his second shot in the first round, breaking the school sports record. He was only 1.73 meters away from the national record set by Ma Yongfeng in 1986 and 1.99 meters away from the Asian record.

This result made several coaches in the shot put event overjoyed.

 Let him throw a few more rounds.

Link lost three more times. The longest personal record is 18.41 meters. With this result, he has a good chance of winning a medal in the Universiade.

 After discussion, several coaches contacted the Universiade Track and Field Project Office to report his results.

One day later, Link was taken to the national training base next door by the head coach for testing. Coaches from the sports department and track and field department were there. If he could still throw more than 18 meters, he would be eligible to participate in the Universiade.

This time Link threw 18.46 meters in the second throw, which was better than yesterday's test result.

 For an 18-year-old student, this is a pretty good score and has huge potential.

 The coaches happily encouraged him and asked him to train seriously and strive to create better results.

Link asked head coach Li Yabing how much bonus he would get if he won the Universiade championship? How much is the prize for setting an Asian record?

 Coach Li Yabing couldn't tell clearly.

 Because China and even Asia are weak in the shot put event, the Asian record is more than three meters away from the world record, and no one has won the championship in the shot put event in previous university games, so he can't be sure.

 However, according to the regulations of the sports department, athletes who win medals in international competitions will receive corresponding rewards.

According to the standards of the 2001 Universiade, each champion will be rewarded 20,000 yuan, and each runner-up will be rewarded 10,000 yuan, which is between the prize levels of the World Championships and the Asian Games. Including scholarships and corresponding subsidies, the total is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

Link nodded after hearing this and said that he would train seriously and strive to get this bonus.

There is also a bonus of 20,000 for the boxing championship champion.

With these two sums of money, we can solve our urgent needs.

On Friday, Link flew to Xichuan with coach Zhao Liwei to participate in the National Boxing Championships. At the same time, this championship has an additional name of 'and Olympic Qualifying Trials'.

  It means that boxers who achieve good results in this boxing competition will have the opportunity to participate in the next round of Olympic qualifying matches.

There are 16 boxers who went to Xichuan to participate in the boxing championship this time.

Including Zhang Xiaoping from the same school, the opponent is an 81kg boxer and the 2008 81kg Olympic champion, as well as Li Yang in the 54kg category, Lu Ao in the 57kg category, Yan Huri in the 60kg category, Huang Yanchao in the 64kg category, Li Jinlong in the 75kg class and so on.

The schedule of the National Boxing Championship is similar to that of the American Golden Gloves Championship. In the first round of eliminations, opponents are drawn and fought, with only 6 people in each weight class retained.

 In the 69kg category, there were not many strong opponents. Link entered the semifinals with a record of winning 5 games in the first round.

In the second round, he drew Li Chao from the Anhui team. The opponent had a good punch and a strong body. He was a strong man in his twenties and early twenties, and looked very resistant to beatings.

It's just that the technique is rough, the fighting style is very sticky, and there are some shadows of mixed martial arts.

Link knocked down his opponent twice in a row in the second round. At the end of the third round, he defeated his opponent with a score of 23-8 and successfully entered the semifinals.

In the semi-finals, he met Shang Lin of the Shanxi team. The opponent was a tall and lanky man, 26 years old, with a height of 189cm and a wingspan of 192cm. He was the main force of the Shanxi boxing team.

 Relying on the advantage of arm length, he passed all the way and entered the semi-finals. He was also considered the champion seed in the 69kg category.

 It's a pity that he met Link.

Link has encountered too many long-handed monsters in past games, such as Klitschko with a wingspan of 206 centimeters, Anthony Joshua with a wingspan of 208 centimeters, Valuev with a wingspan of 213 centimeters, etc.

 It is not difficult to deal with this type of boxer.

 Boxers with long arms have a long attack radius when striking and can hit the opponent without moving, which is an advantage.

 The disadvantage is that the punching and closing speed is slower, and the hitting frequency is slower.

 For example, heavyweight boxers and light heavyweight boxers. Most heavyweight boxers are taller than 180 centimeters, taller and have longer arms than light heavyweight boxers.

 In competition, heavyweight boxers throw an average of about 130 punches per round, and lightweight boxers punch more than 200 times per round.

This is not a question of qualifications, but a difference in body structure.

 To deal with this kind of boxer, step back and widen the distance between you and the opponent, and flexibly "dodge" when the opponent punches. Even if you don't punch, you can still control the rhythm of the game.

 When the opponent withdraws his punch, suddenly close the distance with the opponent and attack the opponent's chin with an uppercut.

bump!

Link hit his opponent's chin with a right uppercut at 86 seconds into the first round.

The explosive force of this punch exceeded 500 kilograms. Even though his chin was protected by a protective gear, the opponent was knocked backwards, his braces spurted out of his mouth, and he took two steps back and fell on the ring.

"good!"

 In the audience, coach Zhao Liwei and several coaches and boxers from the Kyoto City Boxing Team cheered loudly and clapped their hands.

“Old Zhao, where did you find this Link?”

The head coach of the Shanxi team asked with a dark face.

“Haha, I got it from Beijing University of Sport. How do you think it is? Isn't it very powerful?”

Coach Zhao Liwei said with a smile on his face.

“I heard he is only 18 years old this year. Who did he learn boxing from? It's a family tradition?”

“I am Link's coach, so I naturally taught him how to box.”

Coach Zhao Liwei said.

"You? Hahaha, Zhao Liwei, it's not that I underestimate you. If you can teach a boxer of Link's level, I will eat this boxing ring."

The head coach of the Shanxi team pointed at the boxing ring and sneered.

Zhao Liwei's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and stopped talking to him.

The other party is right, he really can't teach a boxer like Link.

After meeting Link a few days ago, he wanted to teach Link some training knowledge, but after watching Link's training, he kept his mouth shut.

 Because Link's boxing training is a very perfect and systematic training method, from strength to speed to technique, and even to small joint training, Link can do it all and knows more than he knows.

There were some training methods that he couldn't even understand. It was only after Link explained them that he suddenly understood. He felt like he had learned a lot from Link.

After he was sure that he could not teach Link, he took the initiative to be Link's back-up, helped him ask for leave, applied for training subsidies for him, prepared training equipment, etc.

 Judging from the current situation, all the previous efforts were worth it.

　　Bang!

On the boxing ring, Link once again hit his opponent on the chin with an uppercut. The opponent took two steps back and hit the rope. He was holding on to the rope and was shaking, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

 Before he could take action again, the ring referee took the initiative to block him and declared the game over.

Link knocked down his opponent three times in three rounds, leaving the opponent unable to fight back. The gap between the two sides was obvious, and there was no point in continuing the fight.

 Three judges unanimously decided that he won. After winning this match, Link thought there would be a finals, but the boxing association directly announced that he was the 69kg champion.

 The reason is very simple. In the 69kg competition, he was the only one to win 7 games in a row without losing any of them. The others lost at least one game in the previous rounds.

In the end, he became the 69kg champion of this national boxing championship. Shanxi team's Shang Lin won the runner-up, and Inner Mongolia team's Chabi Lige finished third.

 Champions' prizes include a certificate, a gold-plated gold medal, and a cash award of 20,000 yuan from the organizer of the boxing championship.

After returning to the capital, the Kyoto City Sports Department rewarded him with 10,000 yuan, and the Sports Center Boxing Team rewarded him with 5,000 yuan, encouraging him to continue competing and compete for honors for the country.

 At the same time, he was also absorbed by the national boxing team and became a substitute boxer for the second team in the 69kg category.

 To become an official 'national player', you also need to achieve good results in international competitions.

Alumnus Zhang Xiaoping who also went there lost to Anhui team's Zhao Yong in the final, finished second, and was also admitted to the national team.

 Zou Shiming won the 48kg championship.

 There will be a World Boxing Championship in August this year, and the boxers who win the championship will automatically receive tickets to participate in the Athens Olympic boxing competition.

 The boxers who finish second or third place need to participate in another Asian Olympic qualifying tournament, and the top two are eligible to participate in the Olympic Games.

 Since the Chinese boxing team has never won a medal in the World Boxing Championships before, the rewards for this competition will be generous.

If you can win the championship and get a ticket for the Athens Olympics for the country, the leader of the boxing team shook his index finger and said, the minimum reward is 100,000 yuan, there is no upper limit, and the second and third places can also get rewards of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, so the leader must Everyone trains actively to bring glory to the country.

Link counted on his fingers. The total prize money for the World Championships + Universiade + National Boxing Championships was almost 200,000 yuan.

 At present, commercial housing near the Third Ring Road costs only 4,250 yuan per square meter.

According to this situation, if you work harder, you are expected to buy a small apartment in Beijing within this year.

Considering this, Link decided to live in the school first to facilitate training, and then move out after buying a house at the end of the year, so as to avoid the trouble of moving around.

As for female companions, because he trains and competes every day and has no time to flirt with girls, he only knows less than ten members of the opposite **** so far, most of whom are coaching teammates of the track and field team.

As for Zhang Zilin, the opponent is not a big student and only comes to train occasionally. He is busy training every day and has no time to go there to find the opponent.

 The two have known each other for more than half a month, and they have only had breakfast twice and run a few times, so the progress is slow.

But the summer vacation is coming soon. There will be the University Games this summer. After the vacation, he needs to train intensively at school for a few days and then fly to South Korea to participate in the competition.

 During the training camp, you can chat with each other to increase communication.

 Ding ding ding! Jingle bell bell!

 In the dormitory, the newly purchased Nokia mobile phone rang. It was Zhang Zilin's call.

 “Hi, Zi Lin, get out of class is over?”

Link asked as he leaned back in his chair.

"Link, I just read the newspaper. It said that Link, a sophomore at the School of Education of the National Sports University, won the 69kg championship at the National Boxing Championships. Is this Link you?"

 Zhang Zilin asked on the phone.

 “It's me!”

“Hmph, that's so uninteresting. You still say we are friends, but you won the championship in a competition without even saying a word. Are you afraid that I will take advantage of you?”

 Zhang Zilin said pretending to be angry.

"This is just a small event, not a happy event. I plan to wait until I win the championship at the World Championships in August before telling you. Since you know it in advance, I won't hide it from you anymore. I heard that the braised lion in your school cafeteria It's a good head. How about treating me to a meal as a celebration?”

“Okay, so you want to take advantage of me. Well, come here and I'll treat you to braised lion's head.”

 Zhang Zilin smiled.

 “OK! See you later.”

Link hung up the phone and smiled.

“Hey, Link, is there something going on?”

Bao Xiaohu came over and asked with a smile.

 “Ordinary friends, still in contact.”

Link waved his hand, stood up, washed his face, combed his hair, changed clothes, and brought the souvenir he bought for the other party in Xichuan.

“Tsk, Link, it's a pity that you don't become an actor. If you become an actor, you will definitely become a big star.”

Bao Xiaohu looked at him and said.

“I'm not interested. My ambition is to participate in the Olympics and bring glory to my country. Everything else is just a cloud.”

Link put on his cell phone and said.

“I feel good, but you are going out to pick up girls. I think you need this.”

 Bao Xiaohu took out two small blue bags and winked at him.

 “Thank you, no, I'm using an extra large size, your size doesn't fit.”

Link waved his hand and walked away.

 “It's a super big trumpet, why are you bragging!”

 Bao Xiaohu showed his middle finger.

“I'm really not just pretending. I took a shower with Link and I was so good. I'm so jealous.”

Jiang Weixing made gestures with his hands and praised.

“Really? This guy is already handsome, and his figure is getting stronger and stronger, and he is still so powerful. I am afraid he will become a veteran in the flower bush in the future.”

 Bao Xiaohu said with some envy.

 “Lao Bao, I also want to find a girlfriend, is there anything I can do?”

Jiang Weixing asked, combing his hair.

Bao Xiaohu looked at his chubby figure and wanted to say no, but was afraid of hurting him, so he told him to train hard and the country would assign a girlfriend after he got the medal.

"real?"

Jiang Weixing opened his little eyes and was overjoyed.

Taking a car to the entrance of the University of Science and Technology of China, he saw a flower shop selling roses. He picked up a few pink flowers and asked the clerk to wrap them up.

 Walking into the HKUST campus holding flowers, I saw Zhang Zilin standing on the fountain beside the small square from a distance, wearing a light blue dress with a black ponytail, tall and beautiful, like a bright moon in the crowd.

Some of the students around were looking at Link holding flowers, and some were looking at the girl whose face was gradually turning red. In an instant, there was a lot of gossip in the department.
