After the deputy warden announced that the lottery had begun, a prison guard walked up to the four seeded contestants of Buckle holding a small cardboard box.
Looking at the small box in the arms of the prison guard, many of the other contestants were praying secretly: May Allah, God and Buddha bless me, and don’t let me pinch beans of the same color as Bakr later, otherwise I will die.
deal.
Soon, each of the four Buckers pinched a bean, and the deputy warden immediately announced loudly on the stage: "Player No. 1 Bucker drew black beans, and contestant No. 2 got the soybeans."
, No. 3 contestant Wuxiu Xiangcun chose the mung bean, and the last seeded contestant Muhammad was the red bean! Now, let’s invite the remaining twelve contestants to start touching beans from another cardboard box!”
As soon as the deputy warden finished speaking, the other two prison guards walked up to the remaining contestants holding a cardboard box with a small hole, and simply repeated: "Each of you can only take out one bean.
Group them according to the color of the beans you touch."
The player on the far left side of the queue nodded, then put his hand into the cardboard box, groping inside for a full minute while facing up, and then slowly took his hand out.
The prison guard in charge of statistics took a look at the color of the beans in the player's hand, then turned to the stage and said loudly: "Contestant No. 9 Jakoba from Iran drew red beans, and he was placed in the fourth group of Muhammad."
!”
Immediately, the deputy warden on the stage announced the news to the entire audience using a microphone.
Based on the performance these days, the players have a fairly clear understanding of each other. They all know that Bakr is the one who will definitely qualify, so the Iranian prisoner Jakobah drew the No. 4 seed player with higher odds.
After one set, I immediately felt much more relaxed. Amid the envious eyes of many players, I raised my right hand and made a gesture in front of my chest, thanking God for His blessing.
Chu Yang, who was on the far right side of the queue, saw Jia Keba's action and sneered in his heart, scolding him for being stupid, and then looked at the player sitting next to his left.
The person sitting on the left of Chu Yang was none other than the player No. 16 who had never appeared in front of people. His figure was not burly at all, but the clothes he wore were very loose, which made him look even thinner.
At that time, he was hanging his head slightly, not looking at the person over there touching the beans, as if he didn't care much about the color of the beans he pinched.
If this person is not a master, then he has given up the hope of qualifying, so he can be so calm... Chu Yang glanced at him casually, and then yawned. When he was about to continue watching the players touch beans, something in his nose
But he smelled a vague fragrance, which made him feel very strange, so he raised his head and looked across the ring: Damn, which rich little rich woman sprinkled such a strong perfume, so far away?
I can smell the distance.
Just when the other ten contestants were nervous, excited, or frustrated, the two prison guards holding boxes came to contestant No. 16.
When these two prison guards faced the other contestants, they both stood out with their chests and belly protruding as if they were superior. But when they came to contestant No. 16, Chu Yang found that they actually bent down slightly and their voices were gentle.
'A lot of people said: "Contestant No. 16, please touch a bean."
Contestant No. 16 acted as if he had not heard this sentence at all. He did not even raise his slightly drooped head. He just raised his hand and reached into the box to grab a bean and handed it to the prison guard.
After the prison guard saw the color of the beans clearly, he turned to the stage and reported: "Player No. 16 Park Ji-hwan from South Korea touched a mung bean. He was assigned to the third group!"
Mr. Chu, who was scratching his itch with his hands, was stunned when he heard the prison guard call out the name of contestant No. 16: Park Zhihuan? What a familiar name. It seems that I have called him this name before, right? Damn,
I didn't expect to meet another one here. It seems that this name is very popular among Korean people.
Just when Chu Yang began to be interested in Park Zhihuan next to him, the prison guard came to him with the box: "There are a total of twelve beans in the box, and you are the last contestant, so there is no need for you to touch it anymore.
I'll just take it out for you. As for what color beans are left inside, that depends on your luck."
Chu Yang nodded indifferently and agreed.
The prison guard took out the last bean in the box for Chu Yang, put it in the palm of his hand and gave him a look. Then he turned and reported to the stage: "Kole from Vietnam touched a red bean! He was assigned to Muhammad.
The fourth group.”
After hearing that the last player got a more satisfactory bean, the three players who had drawn the same color as Bucker immediately regretted: If I had known this, I really shouldn't have rushed to walk in front of him just now.
Up front, if I were at the end, I would have gotten the red beans. Alas, that Vietnamese monkey is so lucky. Isn't he just lucky?
Although the fighting tournament is held in a prison, it is really dark, but the 'organizer' Busan Prison has installed large screens on both sides of the ring so that those rich people can watch the game from all angles.
Enjoy the wonderful fighting scenes, and the lottery ceremony held now can be regarded as a live broadcast. The rich people over there can clearly see on the big screen where their favorite players are ranked without even coming here.
group.
Just like the prisoner players, these rich people often make some happy or frustrated sounds when the lottery ceremony is held. This is because a considerable number of them invest in the unfavorable players and are eager to take the wrong side.
Only in this way can there be hope of making money by betting on the unpopular. If everyone puts their money on Bakker, then such a gamble will be meaningless.
As the draw ended, the players that these rich people bet on were either placed in the strongest first group, or in the weakest fourth group. When they saw that the player they had bet on was in the same group as Bakker,
, they will be disappointed, but if they go to the fourth group, they will be happy.
But no matter what, the result cannot be changed. We can only hope that the selected candidates can perform well.
In fact, those wealthy people who feel they have bet on the wrong player are not doing it because they feel sorry for their money, but because they are making a habitual and regretful move.
According to the rules of the schedule, all group matches will end on the 11th. The top four who qualify will be drawn again on the 12th and divided into two groups to play the semi-finals. The two who win the opponent will directly enter the finals, and the two who lose will go to the finals.
Play a game to compete for the third qualifying spot.
On the 13th, the two finalists will compete in the championship and runner-up finals. This is the last game, and it is also the game that rich people pay most attention to. Generally, everyone will put money on the final final.
On the first day of the competition, there are a total of four groups, each group has four people, each group has to play three games, each game is 15 minutes and three rounds, a total of twelve games.
After the large group drawing ceremony, the four people in the first group will once again touch beans from the small box. This time there are two red beans and two mung beans in it. The two players who touched the red beans will be the first to compete on the stage.
As the seeded player, Bucker was the first to reach out and touch a bean. When he took it out, he saw that it was a mung bean. This proved that he could watch another game of his group and take this opportunity to find the weakness of the winner...
…This guy’s really lucky.
When the first pair of players (No. 4 vs. No. 12) who touched the red beans came on stage, the atmosphere on the grassland suddenly became lively. The prisoners watching the excitement began to applaud excitedly, as if they were celebrating the New Year, while the rich people began to
Betting, collecting bet orders (how much money is being bet this time, and it is also a bet on which player will win).
In addition to these rich people, some prison guards in Busan Prison also had the idea of taking a chance and put out more or less money to bet. However, the prison leaders did not stop them at all and only took a moment to collect the money.
There was a pile of U.S. dollars in the box in the arms of the 'staff'.
Han Dongzhe, who was sitting at the front of the ring, looked at the pile of dollars with a satisfied smile on his face: According to the rule of 50% and 10%, no matter who wins or loses, the prison will be the biggest beneficiary.
, can he be unhappy?
After the 'staff' asked three times in a row, 'Who else is placing bets?' and after confirming that no one was taking out money anymore, he turned to the referee on the ring and signaled that the game could start.
Even though these players are all prisoners, the referees in charge of the competition are all international-level referees, hired by the organizers from European and American countries at a huge expense.
After the first pair of contestants appeared on the stage, the referee, wearing black pants, a white shirt, and a black bow tied around his neck, began to loudly announce the rules of the game with a microphone, which was nothing more than no biting and no assault on the private parts.
You must stop the game when the referee tells you to stop, otherwise you will be disqualified from the game.
The referee simply said a few things to pay attention to, and after asking both players to understand clearly, he immediately walked to the corner of the ring and knocked the hanging bell with a small hammer. The first match of the Asian Finals of the Olympic Fighting Conference was official.
Start fighting...
As the two first contestants on stage began to test each other, applause and screams rang out again. Jin Mingxin, who was standing behind the contestants, turned his head slightly and asked Han Xiangdou next to him in a low voice: "Team Han, you are very lucky, that
Player No. 7 was actually assigned to the fourth group, which shows that he has a good chance of qualifying. Hehe, I just wonder if Team Han has the guts to bet on him?"
Hearing the pride in Jin Mingxin's words, Han Xiangdou smiled slightly, then nodded and said: "He is the player I take care of. Of course I have confidence in him. When I placed the bet last night, I was already betting on him.
Twenty thousand dollars, bet that he will qualify."
Are you the one who would spend so much money to bet on player No. 7? Hey, go ahead and lie to me, unless you are out of your mind.
Jin Mingxin didn't believe that Han Xiangdou would be so stupid, he just sneered twice in his heart, and then said angrily: "Hey, twenty thousand US dollars, that's your salary for a year, can you bear to be thrown into the water like this?
Ah, do you need me to prepare an ambulance for you? In case he has a heart attack after being eliminated in the group stage, he can be rescued in time."
