Chapter 341 Zhang Lei is defeated, Ding Xiu takes action (Part 2)
"Ah, thank you, Sister Yuanyuan."
Zhao Liying did not expect that Gao Yuanyuan would arrange a job for her and be the store manager.
She didn't think about keeping it secret. After all, she signed a confidentiality agreement when she was an assistant. She couldn't talk nonsense. She would have to pay compensation and bear legal responsibility.
I just think Gao Yuanyuan is a very nice person.
In a place like Peiping, it is not easy for many people to get a job as a store manager, but she got it easily. She directly stepped into the leadership position and earned no less than those college students.
"What are you talking about? Let's go." Ding Xiu walked out of the room wearing a peaked cap and a coat.
"Goodbye, Sister Yuanyuan, I'm going to be busy first." Zhao Liying waved goodbye.
Gao Yuanyuan also waved and said: "Come back soon."
This was said to Ding Xiu.
When he came to the garage, Ding Xiu threw the car keys to Zhao Liying: "You have your driver's license, come and drive."
Zhao Liying didn't have a driver's license before, so he worked as a driver for a long time.
During the preparations for the Olympics, he had a lot of leisure time, and Zhao Liying also had some free time and took the driver's license test.
Taking the key with both hands, Zhao Liying panicked: "I haven't driven it yet, so why don't you do it, Brother Xiu?"
What I learned in the driving school is still different from reality. What I dare not say is that I failed the second subject twice and failed the third subject three times. One of them was crossing the line, one was reversing into the garage and hitting a wall, and one was stalling when starting on a mid-hill slope.
Slip back.
She clearly remembered that on the day she got her driver's license, the coach thanked her with tears and runny noses and said he would treat her to dinner.
"It's okay, let's drive. This thing is just a gas pedal and a brake. It's very simple."
Opening the car door, Ding Xiu got on the passenger seat. He felt that the seat was a little forward and the space was tight. It turned out that Zhao Liying had sat in it before and hadn't moved it back.
After adjusting his sitting position, Ding Xiu found a comfortable position to lean on.
In his opinion, driving is actually very simple. A three-year-old child can know it. It's just accelerator and brake. It's not difficult. Just step on the accelerator and go, and step on the brake and it will stop.
Driving is easy, but the difficult thing is to drive well, avoid accidents, understand traffic rules, and obey them in a civilized manner.
Shivering and getting into the driver's seat, Zhao Liying first fastened her seat belt and then handed the bag to Ding Xiu: "Brother Xiu, there are tickets for the boxing ring in it."
Ding Xiu threw his bag in the back seat speechlessly: "Why do you feel like you are giving your last words? Hurry up and drive, you are so slippery."
"oh."
Zhao Liying adjusted the seat, looked at the rearview mirror, and turned on the ignition. Everything was done according to the instructions in the driving school.
It was obviously a garage, but there was no one in front of her. She even honked the horn before starting.
Ding Xiu was made a little nervous.
Fortunately, it was a safe start and there was no danger, except for the car's head nodding a bit fiercely.
"Brother Xiu, why don't you put your seat belt on."
On the street, Zhao Liying gave a kind reminder.
"I'm not afraid of what you are afraid of. Drive your car well." Ding Xiu glanced at the dashboard and said, "Hurry up. At your speed, the old lady selling popsicles on the street can run faster than you."
Zhao Liying blushed, a little embarrassed, stepped on the accelerator, and her palms holding the steering wheel were all sweaty.
Along the way, the speed was not very fast. When she encountered a car in front of her, she stuck out her head and asked them to give way.
After much stumbling, it took more than forty minutes to arrive at the venue.
The stumbling here refers to the literal stumbling.
Ding Xiu got out of the car, put on his toad glasses, turned to look at the bumper hanging halfway on the front of the car, and hesitated to speak.
Zhao Liying pouted, not daring to look into his eyes, and said aggrievedly: "You asked me to open the car, and I can't afford to pay for it."
Not only was the bumper hit, but the body of the car was also scratched. Ding Xiu's car was expensive and she really couldn't afford to pay for it.
"Don't you have a driver's license?"
"Yes, but my problem is that your car is difficult to drive and is too heavy."
Ding Xiu squinted his eyes thoughtfully: "That makes sense. I'll buy another one after watching boxing."
He was tired of driving this red off-road vehicle. Sometimes it did feel a bit wide, but now he liked something smaller and tighter.
…
There are many sports in the Olympic Games, and different sports have different venues.
Boxing is no exception.
The venue was large, but the auditorium was not full, and the seats became sparse toward the back.
Ding Xiu's position is in the front row, close to the ring.
After taking advantage of the situation, Zhao Liying sat next to him. Although she had no interest in boxing, she liked the atmosphere. There were so many cameras around her and she might even be on TV later.
At this time, the two athletes were already on the stage.
Looking at Ding Xiu in the audience, Zhang Lei raised his chin, smiled and nodded at him.
Soon, the game begins.
A formal boxing match is much more complicated than a private fight, including urine testing, weighing, wearing protective gear, familiarity with the rules of fighting, respecting the rules, listening to the whistle at all times, etc.
Ding Xiu put himself in for a while and found that he still couldn't play in the professional game.
Without him, there are too many rules and it’s too tiring.
You can't fight this, you can't fight that. Just waiting for the referee to stop when the referee blows the whistle is more tiring than using force to meet friends.
"Three two one, start!"
Zhang Lei fights in the super-weight class, and his opponents are all 1.9 meters tall and weigh more than 90 kilograms.
Regardless of the rules, fighting at this level is quite interesting.
In just a few rounds, you can see precise punches, punches, jabs, footwork and dodging skills.
"well!"
After looking at it, Ding Xiu sighed.
No wonder Chuanwu is declining. To be honest, it is not unreasonable.
It takes too long to practice Chuanwu. You need to jump on horse steps, set moves, fight moves, split moves, and learn killing moves. If you want to achieve success in one skill, it will take ten or eight years.
Let’s look at boxing again. Let alone ten or eight years, you can get started in three to five months, and you can completely defeat ordinary people after learning it for one year. After three to five years, people have been on stage to fight in many competitions.
With Zhang Lei's height and weight, they can probably defeat 90% of the martial arts masters in a fight.
Ding Xiu sighed inwardly, but kept his eyes on the two people on the ring.
In the first round, the two sides were just testing and exchanging a few simple punches.
In the second round, the firepower was fully unleashed, and the fight was fierce.
Heavy punches, swinging punches, and a set of combos are frightening. If one of the two sides fails to defend, they may fall to the ground directly.
Zhao Liying no longer dared to look, turned her head and closed her eyes.
Ding Xiu watched with gusto and made comments from time to time.
"Zhang Lei's reaction is good, his footwork is very stable, and he dodges in time, but he is a little impatient and unable to calm down. This may be the reason why it takes a long time...you still need to practice more."
At the end of the third round of the game, Zhang Lei was the winner. Taking advantage of his height advantage, his punches were very strong. His opponent was forced to break through his defense, and then he was knocked out with a punch to the chin.
After watching Zhang Lei's game, Ding Xiu watched a few other games. It was probably due to the Olympics, but the overall level was quite strong.
In the afternoon, Ding Xiu returned to the company for a meeting. After the meeting, he accompanied Gao Yuanyuan to watch diving.
In the next few days, he came to watch the boxing matches, and there were actually Zhou people's matches, but he only watched one match there and then stopped watching.
The 48kg competition is not as exciting as the 90kg competition.
Soon, boxing came to the semi-finals. Zhang Lei was shortlisted and Robert was also shortlisted. Unfortunately, the two never had the chance to meet.
A few days later, it was the finals.
Zhang Lei finally started fighting with Robert.
There is no temptation, just a fierce attack.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The punches were hard to the flesh, and the sound coming from the blows on the body was very loud. Ding Xiu in the audience could hear it clearly. It was very rhythmic and powerful.
"This guy, in ancient times, could have been a general."
Zhang Lei's attack was really too fierce, airtight and violent, and in the blink of an eye, a set of combos hit the opponent's opening.
Robert failed to defend against several punches, and Zhang Lei scored a few points.
"It's a pity that I dodged the punch just now while grazing my chin, otherwise Lao Zhang would have won the gold medal."
After Ding Xiu, the voice of Zhou citizens came.
"Aren't you competing?" Ding Xiu was curious as to why he had time to come over.
"Brother, are you paying attention to me? I'm done competing there."
"Of course there is. I watch it every day, that is, I didn't watch it today. What will be the result?"
"I didn't perform well today. I didn't fully show my strength. I won a gold medal."
Ding Xiu: "..."
I didn't perform well and won a gold medal. I probably learned this from those who played table tennis.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you. I'm afraid Lao Zhang will also win the gold medal. I'm very hopeful."
Citizen Zhou had just finished his game there, so he came over and saw the scene just now. He didn’t know the previous situation, but he just felt that for now, Zhang Lei had great hope of defeating Robert.
"Difficult." Ding Xiu shook his head: "I have watched several of Robert's matches. They are characterized by good dodging skills and flexibility. Zhang Lei's punches are powerful, but the physical exertion will increase in the later stages. If it drags on any longer, the situation will not be good.
.”
Zhang Lei and Robert know each other well. Overall, Zhang Lei's endurance is not as good as Robert's, and Robert's punches and strength are not as good as Zhang Lei's.
So at the beginning, one wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible, while the other chose to delay the fight and hit the later stages.
Citizen Zhou looked solemn: "Is it so serious?"
Ding Xiudao: "This is just my personal opinion. Maybe the next punch will determine the outcome."
He talks so much, but he knows that this will probably be a stalemate battle. The two of them are evenly matched and each has their own advantages.
They are all masters. Robert wants to choose to delay time, but Zhang Lei has no choice.
As time passed, Zhang Lei couldn't stand it anymore.
"call!"
Citizen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the situation was really so serious. It turned out to be Ding Xiu's own opinion.
Ding Xiu is an amateur and knows nothing about boxing.
Zhang Lei has a huge advantage on the court, right?
There are four rounds in a boxing match, each round lasts two minutes, with a one-minute rest in between.
Soon, the first two rounds were over, and Zhang Lei's score was significantly ahead.
When the two took a break, the coaches from both sides came up with suggestions.
"Don't rush for success in the second half. The advantage lies with us. If we stay steady, we will win."
"The opponent's physical strength is running low, go ahead, use your full strength, and be sure to get the points back."
"when!"
The third round begins.
The picture changed suddenly. Previously, Zhang Lei was attacking fiercely, but now he will become more defensive.
And Robert was like a hyena, constantly surrounding Zhang Lei, biting him from time to time.
In this round, Zhang Lei was very tired, his chest kept rising and falling, and he began to breathe heavily. Robert hit a few times and regained the game. The gap between the two was currently very small.
Whether you live or die next depends on the last round.
The gap between the two sides is small, so both sides have to make every effort and fight to the end.
"Old Zhang is in trouble." Citizen Zhou frowned and said with a serious expression, "He has consumed too much."
"It's not just a matter of consumption, Robert's dodge skills are also a bit strong." Ding added.
He kind of knew why Robert had only entered the industry so quickly, but he was able to break into the world arena so quickly. He had to admit that this man had fighting talent.
If I guess correctly, his talent is quick nerve response and flexible body.
Don’t underestimate this. For most people, if they work hard for a lifetime, they may only get 80%, but those with talent can achieve 90% or 100%.
In the same industry, there is a huge gap between talent and talent.
Robert's fighting experience is no worse than Zhang Lei's, and he also has the nerve to dodge and react quickly, which is enough to make up for the gap in height and boxing weight.
The next round is destined to be a fierce battle. If Zhang Lei makes any negligence, he will be KO.
Citizen Zhou agreed: "He is quite strong. Many of his movements have become subconscious conditioned reflexes. He is worthy of being a veteran."
"Bang!"
Zhang Lei was forced to retreat into a corner by a punch. Robert bullied him and took advantage of the situation to hit him hard.
When the fists rained down, Zhang Lei did not fight hard, but chose to hug the opponent. Naturally, the referee blew the whistle.
Robert and Zhang Lei retreated at the same time.
If they don't retreat, a foul will be waiting for them. At this time, no one dares to make a mistake.
Taking the opportunity, Zhang Lei took a breath. There was nothing he could do. If he didn't hug someone, he wouldn't have been able to hold on just now. He glanced at the audience from the corner of his eye, and the coach raised a finger towards him.
It means there is one minute left for the battle to end.
And judging from the coach's expression, he is probably at a disadvantage at the moment.
There is no other way, we can no longer hide behind, just for this minute, go all out and use full firepower.
After moving his shoulders, Zhang Lei took a deep breath, stepped forward, and punched Robert hard.
The first punch missed, and the second punch followed.
But the second punch also failed.
Since one punch doesn't work, then use two punches, three punches, four punches, or five punches.
Under Zhang Lei's airtight attack, Robert could only protect his head with both hands and keep retreating.
In the audience, Citizen Zhou said excitedly: "Well done to Lao Zhang, just like this, beat him!"
As far as the current situation is concerned, the more Robert retreats, the more dangerous he will be. The more punches he takes, his gaps will be exposed and he will be easily hit.
With Zhang Lei's skills, once he hits the opponent, he will attack harder until the opponent lies down.
"Zhang Lei is going to feel cold." Ding Xiu suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him.
Citizen Zhou's smile froze: "No, isn't that great?"
"Pay attention, Zhang Lei's punches are starting to get messy, and his speed is not as fast as the first few punches. Although Robert is retreating, his steps are not messy at all, and his defense is very stable. Once he seizes the opportunity, Zhang Lei is afraid...
"
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lei punched Robert in the face.
Citizen Zhou almost jumped with excitement. He was also frightened by Ding Xiu just now and thought it would really happen.
But before he could be happy, the next second, Robert came out with an uppercut from below.
Zhang Lei caught sight of it out of the corner of his eye and wanted to hide, but it was too late.
If it was the first or second round, he would immediately retreat after a successful punch, but at the last minute, he was a little eager for success and did not retreat, choosing to step forward and attack.
It's too late to hide now.
"Bang!"
The fist hit Zhang Lei's chin for real.
For a moment, Zhang Lei's mind went blank and his body fell to one side.
