I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 177 The game officially begins, swept?
Different from the previous ones, the exchange conference on the third day was an invitation-only situation because of the need to control the number of people.

The location was also chosen in a professional internal venue. Although the place was not big, the people who came to watch were basically a group of people who had money and leisure and were interested in fighting competitions.

"Auntie, walk faster, the game will start soon."

Javier kept urging the woman next to him, who was in her early twenties, wearing sunglasses and a brown Burberry windbreaker. Every time he took a few steps forward, he had to look back to see if she was following.

Fremea Jones adjusted her sunglasses and could only speed up the pace of her feet, but her posture was still elegant.

Javier has been grounded at home since he experienced that dangerous incident at the shooting range. This time, he finally got a chance to come out.

This kind of fighting competition is naturally what he is most interested in.

Fortunately, the location is in a big city like New York, and the security is much better than that in a small place in the countryside. He brought his aunt with him, and then he was allowed.

Fremea came here just to look after him and not let him act as he pleased.

The group of people followed closely and arrived at the VIP seats in front. Javier looked at the bustling crowd in the venue and sighed:

"Well, it would be great if my coach could also come to this competition. With his strength, he will definitely be able to get some rankings."

Fremea touched his head and said:
"Your coach is in the countryside of Florida. How could he have the opportunity to come here? Aren't this competition attended by people from various martial arts associations?"

"If you really miss him, just tell Grandpa You and ask him to come over and be your teacher."

Fremea had no doubts that his nephew's coach could get a ranking in such a competition, but he was still grateful to Li Ang for saving Javier once by chance.

Javier shook his head, "They will definitely not agree. The endorsement contract signed by Coach Li Ang with "Slap Power" may be worth millions of dollars a year. How much money can our family spend to hire him as a full-time employee for me?" Where's the coach?"

Fremea was stunned. She also realized that it was no wonder that Li Ang could earn so much money just from endorsements.

The money is too little. They definitely don’t want to come here to be a full-time coach, but if it’s millions of dollars a year, their family can’t afford it, but they just spend so much money to find a hobby class for Javier. Coaching is a bit too luxurious.

It would be okay if it was the kind of course that is generally considered useful, but martial arts? Let's go back a little bit.

While waiting, Javier also asked Chris next to him with some boredom:

"Are you sure you can beat these people?"

Javier thought that he, who was always confident, would immediately give a positive answer. Unexpectedly, Chris observed and thought carefully before saying seriously:
"I should be able to deal with 80% of the players present within three moves, but there are a few that I'm not completely sure of."

He pointed his finger at the Muay Thai area and said:

"For example, this one looks like he is not a trainer in a martial arts gym. His elbows and calves have been professionally trained in Muay Thai for more than ten years. From the look in his eyes, it seems that he has killed people before. I believe that he must be a foreign aid player invited by the martial arts gym."

"Master Javier, look at the taekwondo players who have just walked into South Korea. One of them is wearing a sportswear with the national flag logo on it. He is most likely a professional player of the national team."

Housekeeper Adele also joined in and said.

Javier nodded, and he also discovered that at the boxing association, there were boxers he had seen in boxing matches before.

If this group of people were to face those ordinary martial arts instructors, they would definitely be a dimensionality-reducing blow.

This also made him a little less confident in what he just said. Even if Coach Li Ang is here, he may not be able to defeat these people.

"People from the Chinese Martial Arts Association came out."

Javier was a little excited, this was the group he was most interested in.

Fremea sighed leisurely. She didn't know why, but her nephew just liked these Chinese Kung Fu.

Because she often played with him before, she also met many so-called kung fu masters. One after another, no matter whether they were young or old, there was no one who could beat the personal bodyguard Chris. .

These people are no match for amateur modern fighters with the same training years, let alone these professionals. You can meet your nephew Javier, who will cry very sadly for the disastrous defeat of the Chinese Martial Arts Association later. .

"Hey, that one seems to be Coach Li."

Javier suddenly stood up excitedly and waved in Li Ang's direction.

"Coach Li!"

"Stop shouting. It's so noisy in this venue. How can he hear you?"

Fremea tugged on Javier's sleeve and said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Ang accurately turned his head in his direction and waved at him.

Fremea, who failed to predict one after another, was a little embarrassed and said with some jealousy:
"I didn't expect that he actually came to participate in this exchange conference, but don't just be happy. You shouldn't worry about him. Today's opponents are no better than those martial arts masters."

Javier shook his head stubbornly and replied:
"I'm not worried, Coach Li will definitely win."

Even so, his palms were still clenched a little tight.

Chris, who originally focused on the crowd around him, also sat up straight and focused part of his attention on Li Ang.

Obviously looking forward to his performance for a while.

Because of Li Ang's relationship, Lyanna and Aisha also got two tickets.

Unlike Javier, Aisha paid more attention to the audience present.

The two of them looked at the clothes, temperament and conversation of the people around them, and they always felt like they were out of place. If it weren't for Li Ang, they might not have had the chance to come into contact with this group of people.

"Sister, look at the bag she is holding. I just swiped it on Instagram. How much do you think it is?"

"I'm not sure, six thousand?"

"One hundred thousand, it's a full one hundred thousand dollars, and you have to buy a bunch of miscellaneous things. Only when you have reached the consumption level can you be qualified to buy."

"And this ordinary-looking coat actually sells for more than 20,000 US dollars. I never knew who was buying these clothes before, but I finally saw it today."

Grandma Aisha Liu behaved the same way when she entered the Grand View Garden. While harassing others with her eyes, she was also harassed by other people's eyes. Many people were wondering how the two of them got the tickets.

In the player area, Li Ang still looked leisurely, but the players with him, except for Chu Yuanfeng, had basically begun to sweat profusely.

This is not the first time they have participated in this exchange meeting, but it is definitely the most intense one they have ever encountered.

If nothing else, just look at their old opponents who had no chance to play at all.

Li Ang also found several acquaintances in the venue. In addition to Javier and Lyanna, he actually saw Henglian master Zhao Zhengxi and his apprentice Jiang Dahai, whom he had not seen for a long time.

It can be seen that the master and apprentice live a very leisurely life, and they even went to New York to watch the game.

With the relationship between Zhao Zhengxi and Mr. Hua Tianming, Yang Zhenghong’s master, getting two tickets was naturally not a problem.

Several people also said hello from a distance. Zhao Zhengxi was a little surprised by Li Ang's appearance, but not that surprised.

After all, his first impression of Li Ang was that of a martial arts prodigy. To be able to appear here and compete on behalf of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, it is really impossible without two brushes.

Take his apprentice Jiang Dahai as an example. Although his performance and progress rate are pretty good in my opinion, here, being pretty good is simply not enough. Amazing talent is the pass mark.

In addition, there is a familiar face in the opponent's team.

"Li Yuanhao." The last time we fought against him was at the Hunyuan Martial Arts Hall. A group of taekwondo coaches came over to play. Unexpectedly, he would become a foreign aid again.

But this is normal. If you come to the United States, there won’t be many Korean Taekwondo professionals hanging out with martial arts circles.

Just by looking at him, Li Ang knew why Yang Zhenghong was hurriedly recruiting foreign aid.

Although it was easy for him to deal with it, it would be really difficult for him to be replaced by these martial arts coaches. For example, Nie Zhaofeng, the head coach of Tiansheng Martial Arts Gym who just played against him, could hardly survive the second round under Li Yuanhao. .

The competition officially started, and the first person from the Chinese Martial Arts Association to take the stage was Yang Zhenghong’s beloved disciple, Yi Kong.

His opponent is a Muay Thai player from the Thai team.

There is a reason why Yang Zhenghong arranged Yikong to play first.

The rules of the competition are elimination system between different teams, but when two teams are fighting against each other, it is a round-robin system.

Five players, one by one, the winner will stay on the stage, the loser will end up, and the player from which team will be standing in the stands in the end.

The reason why Yang Zhenghong let Yi Kong go first was because he knew the level of his apprentice very well. Although he was still one of the best players within the association, he was still not ready to fight against this group of people.

If you are the first one to play, the opponent will generally not rule out very strong players. If you can win a game, even if you win, it won't matter much if you lose later. It can be explained as too much physical exertion.

Yikong stood on the stage and was quite excited. This was actually his first time participating in such a large-scale competition to communicate with various countries.

And his opponent, a Thai with dark skin and a strong build, had a calm expression from beginning to end, and his eyes were fixed on Yi Kong. It was obvious that he had seen big scenes.

As soon as the bell rang, Yi Kong took the initiative to launch an attack. He stepped forward and fluttered his feathers, approaching his opponent's face.

Li Ang, who possesses the Grandmaster-level Tongbei Fist, also nodded slightly. His movements and power are indeed quite standard, and he can fully meet the standards of the master level. If he practices for a few more years, before he is thirty, It's not a big problem to break through to the master level of Tongbei Quan, and it's no wonder that Director Yang values ​​this apprentice so much.

But his opponent was no ordinary cannon. Li Ang could even feel a disregard for life in his eyes.

Although he is not the strongest in the team, he is still a foreign aid invited from Thailand.

Obviously, they have different ideas from ours, that is, they must win the first battle, and they even want to defeat one through five, so they sent him.

The Muay Thai fighter, after dodging Yi Kong's attack, followed up with a sharp combo of elbows and knees.

Yi Kong obviously lacked experience in fighting Muay Thai. Although he barely dodged these two moves, his body was also a little unstable and his steps were messed up.

Li Ang shook his head, judging that he should not be able to survive the first round.

Sure enough, with half a minute left in the first round, Yi Kong was hit in the head by a sharp elbow and lost the round. Although he was wearing protective gear, his eyebrows were still cut open. A big hole was made.

Yi Kong walked off the stage with a blushing face. Compared with everyone's disappointed looks, the pain on his face was nothing.

Only then did Yang Zhenghong feel regretful, but before the game started, no one knew other people's personnel arrangements. Besides, whether it was strength, on-the-spot performance, or even physical fitness, Yi Kong was a little worse. There was nothing that could be done about it.

The most important thing is that he also regrets the arrangement of the next few, but there is no way to change it now, he can only bite the bullet and go ahead.

The person who went up for the second round was the head coach of another martial arts gym. His performance was slightly better than that of Yi Kong, but in terms of strength, he was about the same as Yi Kong.

With Yi Kong already consuming part of his opponent's physical strength, he barely managed to hold on until the second round before falling down.

Fortunately, because of his rich experience, although he judged that he might not be an opponent, he still tried his best to dodge and support, which consumed a lot of the opponent's energy and paved the way for the teammates behind him.

The third one, like Chu Yuanfeng, majored in Tai Chi. He learned from the experience of the first two and relied on body skills and pulling to resist. He was far beyond his own physical strength and spent three rounds. , and finally avoided the ending of being penetrated three times.

But looking at his shaky appearance, it was obvious that he was running out of energy, and being able to win this game was already considered a success.

Seeing this performance, several members of the Chinese Martial Arts Association couldn't help but shake their heads. So far, the head coaches of their three martial arts gyms have been promoted many times, but they only barely replaced one Muay Thai player. Among them, representatives What it is about is naturally self-evident.

The most prominent point is that they lack actual combat experience. They usually only have people from their own martial arts schools to practice and fight, which is definitely not enough.

When I practice my moves, each one is more beautiful than the last, but when it comes to fighting, many moves cannot be used flexibly.

Another is the lack of competition experience. It can be seen from the performance on stage alone that the distribution of physical strength is unreasonable, excessive excitement, and little contact with people from other schools. These are all exposed problems.

Zhao Zhengxi was the same, sighing while telling his apprentice Jiang Dahai these experiences and lessons.

At this point, we can only hope that the two foreign players invited by Yang Zhenghong can perform well, otherwise they will be eliminated in the first round. Not only Yang Zhenghong will be embarrassed, but their entire martial arts association will also be embarrassed. Everyone. The market share of the company is declining, and the cake is gone, so let’s not talk about dividing the cake.

Fremeia on the stage also showed a true expression. She had just entered the stage, but on the Chinese Martial Arts Association, there were basically only two people left. The difference was really obvious.

Although she didn't want to see her nephew Javier disappointed, it seemed that the result was already obvious.

Sure enough, the players sent from Thailand defeated him in less than three moves.

"The next contestant is Chu Yuanfeng."

The reason why Yang Zhenghong placed him in the second-to-last position was because he hoped that he could be the finale and support the entire team, and Li Ang could just use it to finish.

After all, in this kind of tactical arrangement of wheel battles, the strongest person in the team will not be placed at the last position, hoping that he will turn the tide in the end. The final result is likely to be a loss of face.

As soon as Chu Yuanfeng came on the court, he showed a different demeanor from the previous coaches.

Even Chris, who had been silent and did not speak, nodded, saying that his strength must be extraordinary and that this Muay Thai coach would not be his opponent.

"This seems to be the kung fu master who rescued us yesterday. He must be able to play, right? I think the boxing coach is very afraid of him."

Lyanna and Elsa's eyes also lit up. They knew the most people from the Chinese Martial Arts Association, so naturally they were on their side.

The Tai Chi exercise performed by Chu Yuanfeng felt completely different from the Tai Chi exercise performed by the martial arts instructor just now.

It is almost difficult for you to see complete, very standard moves in his movements, but every time he takes a shot, the effect is extraordinary.

Although the Muay Thai coach's attacks were fierce, they didn't seem to be effective. Every time Chu Yuanfeng released his strength, more powerful attacks would hit the opponent.

Li Ang couldn't help but nod as he watched below. Although he didn't know much about Tai Chi, he could still tell that he was at least a master.

More importantly, he has quite a lot of fighting experience, and it is obviously not the first time he has faced a Muay Thai fighter.

Excellent power and extremely fast reaction speed are his advantages over his opponents.

clang! clang!
When the bell rang for the first round, Chu Yuanfeng hit the Muay Thai coach on the neck with a smart whip, ending the game directly.

In an instant, cheers erupted from the Chinese Martial Arts Association. Such a happy victory finally released a lot of the pressure accumulated in their hearts.

The next opponent was a coach who practiced ancient Muay Thai. His performance was not even as good as this one, and he fell faster.

The situation is finally getting better.

But when Thailand's fourth contestant took the stage, some people who were very familiar with the fighting martial arts circle fell silent.

"Long time no see! You're here too."

Chu Yuanfeng actually greeted him in Thai.
