After a brief look in the lounge, Zhang Yongsheng changed into sports shorts after taking a shower and walked through the boxer tunnel to the ring. The arena has not changed much. It is a standard competition arena that is eight meters square and one meter above the ground. There are rubber-wrapped soft railings on all sides, and a set of ultra-high-power headlights above the head.
Unlike the requirements for gloves, protective equipment and weight classes in regular competitions, underground boxing matches do not have these requirements. The boxers just go on stage and just fight. It's more of a battle than a competition. Many times, boxers fight to the death. There are no rules in the competition, and there is no scruple in taking action.
Zhang Yongsheng walked around the ring, tested the distance and the elasticity of the ground, and became somewhat familiar with the environment. Then he came off the stage and wandered around, and found that the surrounding stands had been decorated, and various promotional posters had been posted, creating a stylish atmosphere.
After getting familiar with the venue, Zhang Yongsheng and Tang Jiawei left. The game would not start until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and the first warm-up game would not be until nine o'clock. There was no need for him to stay here. The two returned to the Lufthansa Club, Zhang Yongsheng rested in the VIP room, and Tang Jiawei returned to the office to busy with group matters.
After having dinner at the club, Tang Jiawei drove Zhang Yongsheng to participate in an underground boxing match, with Luo Xiaowei still sitting in the passenger seat to accompany him. The two have been in love recently and their relationship is extremely close. Although Luo Xiaowei often doesn't give Tang Jiawei a good look, Tang Jiawei still enjoys it.
When we arrived at the arena, it was nearly an hour before the first game started. There were not many spectators in the front viewing area, but the rest rooms in the back were already busy. As usual, there will be three games. The first game is for rookies, the second game is for mature boxers, and the third game is scheduled for the power king.
The three of them entered the lounge, where Liu Yang and Wang Xin were already waiting, followed by a team of various supporting personnel. Liu Yang gave Zhang Yongsheng a brief introduction to these people, including coaches, team doctors, masseurs, etc. But Zhang Yongsheng didn't have any use for it, so he nodded and greeted them to deal with it.
There were still a few hours before the game. Zhang Yongsheng did not rush to change clothes and warm up. He sat in his seat and chatted with Tang Jiawei and Liu Yang. After a while, Wang Xinkang came in with the competition organization staff, did some necessary examinations, and registered some basic physical information.
Zhang Yongsheng cooperated with the opponent throughout the whole process with the assistance of support staff and completed a series of procedures before the game. He did not use his real name, but a nickname. He recalled his past life experiences and gave himself the nickname Red Devil.
Not long after Wang Xinkang left, the first game of the night started. Liu Yang and Tang Jiawei took their women to the front to watch the game. Zhang Yongsheng did not go to watch the game, but sat in the lounge seat to adjust his breath. The rest of the staff went to the common room, where there was a TV to watch the game.
Listening to the cheers coming from outside and the host loudly mobilizing the atmosphere in the venue, Zhang Yongsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head secretly. In his previous life, he looked down on people who made money by performing arts. Whether it was performing tricks on the street or helping people fight in the ring, he thought it was a low-level profession.
At that time, he believed that martial arts was a very noble thing. It could not only stabilize the country, but also change the course of human history and give birth to supernatural life forms. This kind of using martial arts for street performances and ring competitions, and relying on martial arts to make cheap money, is really a huge waste of martial arts.
However, more than an hour later, he actually walked onto the road he despised, and he felt quite complicated. But thinking about the decline of modern martial arts, he felt that he had to take this path. Because only by defeating the opponent can martial arts have the most basic credibility and the foundation for revival.
The first match in the ring ended quickly, and it actually only took two rounds for Hong Kong to win. Judging from the news sent back by the staff, the red side had an absolute advantage in this match, while the blue side struggled to hold on and eventually fell to the ground in a coma after being hit by a series of combination punches in the second round.
The second game also went very quickly, with the red team throwing the blue team off the ring in just one round. The red side seems to be very strong today and has an absolute advantage over the blue side. This made the call for the red side to win on the betting board very high, and the number of additional bets for King Li also increased.
Before the start of the third game, Tang Jiawei and Liu Yang returned to the lounge to cheer Zhang Yongsheng. They brought good news that the funds betting on King Li had reached the peak this year. Whether on or off the court, there are an absolute majority of people who are optimistic about Li Wang.
There are also many people betting on Zhang Yongsheng. In addition to those secretly arranged by Tang Jiawei and Liu Yang, there are also insiders who are encouraged by them. The Black Tiger Gang offended too many people, and many people regarded this game as a competition between the Black Tiger Gang and the Shahe Gang, so many people invested money to join the team and buy a good relationship.
Seeing that the bets reached a new high, Tang Jiawei said excitedly: "There are still ten minutes to end the bets. According to this trend, tonight's winning bonus will be pushed to more than five million."
Zhang Yongsheng asked with a smile: "Isn't it two million? Why did it become five million?"
Liu Yang explained: "One million is the basic bonus. Each side of the privileged game has a million deposit, so there are two million. The winning party will get a commission for all bets on and off the court. With the current number of bets , the commission will only get higher and higher, and it is not impossible for the total to exceed five million."
Zhang Yongsheng said in surprise: "This is really good news. With five million, anything can be done easily. Thank you both very much. I will treat you after the game tonight. You can arrange a place."
Tang Jiawei shook his head and said with a smile: "We should treat you. We made a big bet in the outfield, and the winning and losing there are more than millions. If you win the game, we will make a lot of money with you, so we should pay for the treat." . Don’t fight about this, we are landlords in Jiangcheng.”
Luo Xiaowei also said: "You don't have to worry about the treat, they have already arranged it. Your first priority now is to win with all your strength. If you win here, I can tell Sister Ping the good news. She has asked many times. . She was very worried in Yunshan, but she just didn’t want to disturb your preparations for the war, so she didn’t call you.”
Zhang Yongsheng smiled confidently and said: "You women are just nervous. You are just a strength king. You are a beginner, so don't worry. Just watch the show and solve the battle in one round."
He joked a little more and livened up the atmosphere in the lounge. As someone was sent from the ring to inform him that he was ready to appear, Zhang Yongsheng put on blue sports shorts and a robe of the same color. He waved to everyone and walked along the boxer tunnel towards the ring. The game was about to begin.
Watching Zhang Yongsheng leave the lounge door, Tang Jiawei and others also walked to the stands from another passage. They have to return to their seats in the VIP seats and wait for the game to start. They placed heavy bets on this game. Although they were certain, they also felt a little uneasy.
