Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 613

 Chapter 613 Universiade Champion

 After a short break, Link and the seven finalists started the second round.

 The second round is the same as the first round. Each person has 3 throwing opportunities. The champion, runner-up and third runner-up will be ranked according to the results.

In this round of drawings, Link was ranked sixth.

By the time he took the field, there were already three athletes with a score of over 19 meters. Among them, Parker O'Brien of the American team temporarily ranked first with 19.67 meters.

Poland's Tomas Majewski ranked second with 19.21 meters.

Pavel Ashapatov of the Russian team ranked third with 19.09 meters.

Seeing the results of these people, coach Li Yabing and team leader Li Zhichun, who originally expected Link to win a medal, were half-hearted. Link's best score in the first three shots was less than 19 meters, and he probably had no chance in the second round.

 So when Link comes on stage, as long as he does his best and treats them calmly, there is no need to put too much pressure on the leaders.

Link expressed his understanding and did a set of warm-up exercises before going on the court to activate all joints and muscle groups.

In fact, boxing training and shot put throwing training have many similarities, including the way and direction of force exertion. They are both through cluster movements of waist, leg, and shoulder muscles, twisting the whole body's strength into a rope, and then through the arms and wrists Explode all the strength in your body.

 The more fully the muscle strength of the whole body is mobilized, the greater the explosive power.

The sliding technique in shot put throwing is also similar to the sliding technique in boxing, both focusing on body balance and coordination of hands and feet.

 In addition, there are some exercises on the 'back throw punch' and the rotating shot put technique that he is best at, which can help him perfect the back throw punch and increase the lethality of the back throw punch.

These commonalities also allow Link to find some fun when practicing shot put throwing.

After the game started, Link touched some anti-slip powder on his hands, picked up the shot put and walked to the throwing area, with his back facing the direction of the throwing, his feet slightly wider than the shoulders, with the left side of the body as the axis, and his left knee and left shoulder began to move toward the throwing area. Turn left and press your upper body down like a spring, keeping your body in the maximum tightened state.

When throwing the shot put, Link shouted loudly, all his arm muscles bulged, and he suddenly pushed the shot put in the direction of the throw.

The 7.26kg shot put came out of the hand and drew a high parabola in the air.

 In less than a second, the shot put landed with a bang, making a deep hole in the sand.

 The on-site surveyors and referees hold small flags and enter the bunker to measure the distance.

 “19.51 meters!”

 The referee shouted.

 “How much? 19.51 meters?”

“Link threw 19.51 meters?”

Coach Li Yabing was stunned on the sidelines and looked at the team leader Li Zhichun with some disbelief.

Leader Li Zhichun is used to seeing big scenes. After hearing this result, he was just stunned for a moment, then stood up and applauded, cheering for Link.

 According to the current results, Link is firmly in the top three.

At this time, Link's score was also displayed on the big screen, 19.51 meters, quickly climbing to second place, only 0.16 meters behind the first place, Parker O'Brien.

Link took a breath and prepared for the second shot.

 The second throw was a little worse, 19.07 meters.

“Yes, Link is only 18 years old. He can stably break through 19 meters and has great potential. He will definitely have a place in the Athens Olympics next year.”

Li Zhichun, the team leader, praised.

 “This guy really gave us a big surprise.”

 Coach Li Yabing laughed.

 “Come on Link!”

At the edge of the track and field, Jiang Weixing and his teammates from the track and field team were also cheering for him loudly.

 Link rested for dozens of seconds and began to prepare for the third shot.

When the third throw performed the rotation push action, he pressed his upper body lower and twisted his body in a larger arc, nearly 360 degrees.

This kind of movement is very difficult and requires athletes to have good balance and the muscles in all parts of the body must be well developed. There must be no shortcomings, otherwise they may fall to the ground when pressing down, or they may fall to the ground when rotating and pushing the ball. Push the shot put in another direction.

Link has been exercising well recently, and all the muscle groups in his body have been fully exercised. Although it is not as good as the original level, the muscle groups are relatively balanced and have no shortcomings.

After two seconds of pressing down, Link suddenly turned around again and shouted "Let's go". The shot ball came out of his hand again, drew a far arc in the air, and then hit the ground heavily.

 Surveyors and referees enter the bunker to measure.

"How many?"

Coach Li Yabing craned his neck to look into the field.

 “19.81 meters!”

“China team No. 3201's third shot was 19.81 meters!”

 The referee shouted.

  “19.81 meters?”

“Link threw a throw of 19.81 meters, which is higher than O'Brien of the American team?”

 Li Yabing and the coaching assistant of the throwing team looked in disbelief.

Although this result is still far away from the world record, it exceeds the domestic record by 0.05 meters, breaking the domestic record set by athlete Ma Yongfeng in 1986, and raising the domestic men's shot put record to 19.81 meters.

 “Well done, Link!”

 Leader Li Zhichun stood up and clapped his hands.

 “Link, awesome!”

Jiang Weixing shouted from the sidelines.

The reporters from the Chinese media on the sidelines also pointed their cameras at Link and took several photos in succession.

 Although the competition content of the Universiade is lower than that of the Olympic Games and Asian Games, the athletes participating in the Universiade are generally younger.

Link was able to break the domestic record at the age of 18 when he was not yet strong. In a few years, he may not be able to break the Asian record. He may be able to win a medal on behalf of the Chinese team in the 2008 Olympics.

 The media is very interested in a potential stock like Linke.

“Link, congratulations on breaking the domestic men's shot put record. Are you satisfied with this result?”

Xinhuanet reporter asked, holding a voice recorder.

 “Not bad, so far, this is the limit of what I can do.”

Link said, waving his wrist.

"Link, congratulations on your good results in this round of competition. As far as I know, you injured your shoulder and waist during training last year and were deemed by the doctor to be unable to train anymore. But now you have a good throw of 19.81 meters at the Universiade. The results set a new domestic record in one fell swoop. How did you do it?”

CCTV5 reporter took the microphone and asked.

“After the injury, I received treatment for a period of time, and the injury gradually improved. Later, with the support of the school and the encouragement of the coach and teammates, I returned to training, and my performance improved steadily.

 Now that I have achieved good results in the Universiade, this is not only my personal achievement, but also everyone's achievement. I will continue to work hard to improve my personal strength and strive for more honors for the Chinese track and field team. "

Link said with a serious expression.

When the reporters on the scene heard what he said, they all took notes and took notes. Although Link's words were a bit false, they were standard answers.

"Link, I heard that you are still a member of the national boxing team. You won the 69kg championship at the National Boxing Championships in June. Now you have broken the national record in the shot put. In these two sports, you They all performed very well, so in your training, do you mainly focus on boxing or shot put?”

 The reporter from "China Sports News" asked.

"This sport is all about strength, and there is no contradiction in training. However, boxing is more technically demanding. Currently, I will focus on boxing in training, trying to qualify for the Athens Olympics next year and contribute to the country's success. Got a medal in boxing.”

Link said.

 The reporters quickly jotted down his words and asked a bunch of questions.

Link answered more than a dozen questions before returning to the sidelines to rest. The coach and teammates congratulated him one after another. Several teammates from Jiang Weixing's school excitedly lifted him up.

After Link left the field, the remaining two athletes continued the competition. Among the two opponents, the more threatening one was Ryan Kruse from the University of Munich in Germany. His opponent was the second place in the first round.

 Cruise comes on for the seventh time.

 The first throw was 19.27 meters, which was better than the first round result, indicating that the opponent also hid his strength in the first round.

  The second throw was 19.23 meters and the third throw was 18.57 meters.

 The best result was 19.27 meters, surpassing Tomas Majewski of the Polish team and ranking third.

 The eighth player to play was South Korea's Kim Woo-seok. His best score in three shots was 18.67 meters, and he failed to enter the top three.

 So according to the current results, Link ranked first with 19.81 meters, won the men's shot put championship, and set a new record for the men's shot put event in the Universiade.

 The second place is Parker O'Brien of the American team, 19.67 meters, and the third place is Ryan Kruse of the German team, 19.27 meters.

 There are only two rounds in the shot put event. After the second round of competition, an award ceremony will be held on site.

When Link stood on the podium in the middle, wearing the gold medal and looking at the slowly rising national flag, he smiled softly. It was very different from the feeling when he won the gold medal for the American team.

“Link, come on, let me see what the gold medal looks like?”

After Link stepped down, Jiang Weixing and several others came over, holding the gold medal and looking around, ready to take a bite.

 “If you are gold-plated, be careful of chipping your teeth.”

Link reminded.

“Hello, Mr. Link, I am Moon Chae-won, a reporter for the Daegu University of Arts newspaper. Can I ask you a few questions?”

 A very young Korean female reporter came with a translator. She first said the questions, and then her companion translated them into Chinese.

 “Why are you interviewing me?”

Link asked in Korean.

“Ah~ Mr. Link, do you know Korean?”

The girl asked in surprise.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification

Link said with a smile.

“Lin Kexi, I think you look very handsome and manly, like a big star. I'm curious how a handsome boy like you can be so good at throwing the shot put so far?”

 The girl is young, has baby fat on her face, her expression is very cute when she speaks, and she looks a little familiar.

Link would not mind chatting with him for a while and learning Korean with him.

 The competition went on the 23rd. The Chinese team ranked first in the gold medal list with 14 golds, 8 silvers and 7 bronzes. Link was the 13th athlete of the Chinese team to win the gold medal.

The first gold medal of the Huaxia team was won by Zhang Liangliang of the men's epee team.

Also in the men's individual 10-meter platform diving event, Tian Liang won the gold medal.

 Li Fengfeng won the women's shot put final with a time of 18.55 meters. The weight of the women's shot put was 4 kilograms.

Wu Mingxia once again defeated Guo Jinjing in the women's 3-meter springboard competition and won the championship with a score of 604.11 points.

 Luo Xuejuan won the championship in the 100-meter breaststroke final with a time of 1:07.45, setting a new Universiade record of 1:07.84.

 The results are all good.

 The Universiade lasted for 10 days. In the end, the Chinese team ranked first in the gold medal list with 42 gold medals, 27 silver medals and 13 bronze medals.

 The Russian team ranked second with 26 gold medals, 22 silver medals and 34 bronze medals.

 The South Korean team ranked third.

The United States does not pay much attention to the Universiade, so it did not send many athletes and did not participate in many events. It ranked eighth with 5 gold medals, 13 silver medals and 18 bronze medals.

The Chinese team returned triumphantly with a great victory and was received by the leaders of the sports department at Kyoto Airport.

Since Link broke the domestic record, refreshed the Universiade record, and became the first person in the men's shot put, the gold medal is very valuable. When shaking hands with Link, the leader said a few words of encouragement, and the reporters at the scene also took some more photos.

 The next day, "Liberation Daily", "China Youth Daily", "China Sports News" and other media successively reported in detail on the competition situation of the Universiade in the sports section.

Link's photo was also placed in a more prominent position, with more than 200 words of text accompanying the picture. Although it was not much, it also made Link famous in the domestic sports circle.

Link didn't care much about this small-scale report. What he cared about was the competition prize money.

Shortly after returning to China, Link received a bonus and certificate from the track and field team under the sports department.

  20,000 yuan.

 The school awarded him 5,000 yuan in the name of the Athletics Academy.

 Because his family is relatively poor and he has great potential in sports, the school helped him apply for a national scholarship of 8,000 yuan.

He received a total of 33,000 yuan from this Universiade, plus the remaining 10,000 yuan in savings, which is still far from buying a house or a car.

 After the Universiade, Link went home to visit relatives and friends. However, his parents and brothers in this life were different in appearance from his relatives in the previous life, and he could not get close to them when he got along with them.

He simply put down another 10,000 yuan to support his family and return to school early.

 The World Boxing Championship is about to start at the end of August, and he has no time to rest at this stage.

“Hey, friend, you look familiar to me. Are you an actor?”

On the plane back to Beijing, Link was reading a sports magazine when the man sitting opposite him greeted him.

 Hello, I am a student at the University of Physical Education and I have never acted.

Link put down the magazine and took a look at the other person. He was in his thirties or forties, wearing a shirt, tortoise-rimmed glasses, and a big head. He looked like a cultural person.

“Is that so? I seem to have seen your photo, but I forgot where it is.”

The man adjusted his temples, stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "My name is Wang Xiaoshuai, a director. I think your appearance is very photogenic and suitable for being an actor. Have you considered developing into the film and television industry?"

 “Hello, Director Wang!”

Link shook hands with the other person and heard the other person say his name was Wang Xiaoshuai. He remembered that there was a relatively famous art film director in China with this name. His representative works were "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" and "Green Red", and the heroines were both. Gao Yuanyuan.

 “You've probably seen my picture in the sports section.”

Link handed the magazine to the other party, which contained his report.

Director Wang Xiaoshuai took it and looked at it with a surprised look on his face. He just saw that Link was very handsome and had an outstanding temperament. He didn't look like an ordinary person.

It must be popular to invite such an eye-catching person to make a movie, but I didn't expect that this person is not only handsome, but also very powerful. He won the men's shot put championship at the Universiade, broke the domestic men's shot put record, and was also the 69kg champion of the National Boxing Championships.

The strength is quite strong.

"I remembered that I had read your report in the newspaper. At that time, I thought you were a good person. When I saw you in person, I realized that you are more brilliant than the photos and you are even more photogenic. It must be very cool for you to make a movie like this. Popular.”

 Director Wang Xiaoshuai said.

Link smiled softly. During his time in Hollywood, he worked with many top directors, filmed dozens of classic movies, created dozens of classic screen images, and even won an Oscar for best performance at the age of 48. Actor Award.

Because he has acted a lot and has experience in politics, he will unconsciously take on the attributes of an actor in public situations, showing off his charm and making his image more eye-catching.

 This is also why it feels good to be seen by the other party.

As for what the other party said about becoming an actor, he has no interest in it. First, the domestic entertainment industry has been very immature since its emergence until 20 or 30 years later. Even if he becomes a top actor in the domestic entertainment industry, he will not have much sense of accomplishment.

As for winning awards abroad, he has won all foreign film awards in his previous life, and he does not want to go back to the old path.

His main goal now is to practice boxing, regain his strength early, go to boxing matches abroad, make more money, and then go to the United States to see if there is a chance to meet Taylor and Ivaca.

 So he declined Director Wang's invitation to play a role, but he also exchanged contact information with the director and promised to have the opportunity to make a guest appearance in his film.

 In addition, film investment is also a good way to make money.

 When you have money, you can invest in a film company. People in the circle like Director Wang are also a kind of network, and it is also beneficial to communicate more.

“Link, it's settled, after the game, come and play a guest role on my set.”

 When he got off the plane, Director Zhang Xiaoshuai held his hand and said.

 “Okay, I remember.”

Link smiled lightly and shook hands with the other party to say goodbye.

Director Wang looked at his back, especially when he saw his handsome profile, and shook his fist fiercely, secretly thinking that it was a pity that this kind of person would definitely be a loss for Chinese-language films if he was not an actor.

　　If you have the opportunity, you must bring him into the film industry and let him know the beauty of being an actor.

After leaving the airport and getting into the car driven by his girlfriend Liu Xuan, director Wang Xiaoshuai still did not forget about Link. He took the initiative to mention Link and praised Link to the sky.

But his girlfriend looked at him with strange eyes, "Are you not sick? You can't forget a man?"

"Xuan'er, this man is different, really different. He is not ordinary handsome and good-looking, but has the kind of elegance and strong masculine charm that comes from his bones. When you see him, you will feel that there is no handsome guy in the circle. "

 Director Wang Xiaoshuai explained.

 “You may have met a goblin.”

Liu Xuan rolled his eyes at him and accelerated the car onto the straight lane.
