Set off……!
The Chinese 'National Wushu' delegation, led by Tang Lie, vice president of the Wushu Association, went to Bangkok in southern Thailand.
After getting off the plane...
Everyone rested for one night at Bangkok International Hotel.
Early the next morning,
All members of the 'Guowu' delegation took the bus of the organizer of 'The Battle of Thailand' and arrived at the Bangkok Sports Center.
Boom...!
at this time,
The Bangkok Sports Center is preparing for its opening, and the atmosphere is extremely heated.
Today is the opening day of 'The Battle of Thailand'.
Everywhere seemed very crowded, with a sea of people and the atmosphere reaching its peak.
The entire Bangkok Sports Center, with more than 30,000 seats, was already occupied.
Many boxing fans entered the sports center early in the morning, looking forward to the opening ceremony.
Chen Yang followed everyone into the Bangkok Sports Center.
When he felt the atmosphere at the scene, he was extremely emotional and shocked.
"It is indeed the top competition in Asia's martial arts world. The atmosphere is so lively."
"Tainan is a powerful country in martial arts. They have home field advantage and have the highest demand for the final championship belt."
"Although the atmosphere in the domestic martial arts world is enthusiastic, it lacks one thing."
"Cruel...yes, without the smell of blood...!"
Chen Yang took a deep breath and silently felt the atmosphere around him.
After all, the 'Thai King's Battle' is the top martial arts competition in Asia's martial arts world.
Compared with the atmosphere in the domestic martial arts world, it is naturally much more intense.
at the same time,
Its influence is much greater than any domestic martial arts competition.
at this time,
The 'Battle of the Thai Kings' has not yet started, but the 'National Martial Arts' delegations from various Asian countries have come to the Bangkok Sports Center in southern Thailand.
In addition, media from various countries have gathered here.
Reporters from China Television also came to Bangkok to conduct live broadcasts.
at the same time,
The working team of Douyin Live Broadcasting Platform also arrived in Bangkok early.
The focus of work is different from that of domestic TV stations and other media.
Douyin’s staff are all here for the [Soul of Chinese Martial Arts] live broadcast room.
They all take Chen Yang’s live broadcast as the core.
Douyin bought the exclusive live broadcast rights for all Chen Yang’s boxing matches, limited to Chen Yang’s boxing matches.
The other five boxers from the Chinese 'Guowu' delegation,
The live broadcast of their boxing matches is all handled by the organizer of the 'Thai King of War', and the Douyin platform only bought the broadcast rights.
At this point, the advantage of the 'free boxer' being unfettered can be clearly seen.
Behind the other five boxers are representatives of the boxing gym.
Even if Douyin wants to cooperate with them for live broadcast, it needs to balance the interests of all parties, which is difficult to do.
and,
Most boxing gyms in the country are actually directly related to the live broadcast of Penguin Group's events.
Normally,
The broadcasts of all boxers' "foreign battles" in the domestic martial arts world are broadcast by television stations in cooperation with Penguin Group.
but now,
With the strong intervention of Chen Yang and Douyin Platform, a gap has been opened in the overseas event live broadcast market that Penguin Group firmly controls.
This is why the Douyin platform did not hesitate to spend a high price to directly buy the exclusive live broadcast rights of the Chen Yang boxing match!
certainly,
It depends on how many rounds Chen Yang can make in this huge business gamble.
Starting from the 'Thai King's War' in Southeast Asia, Douyin Group entered the business territory of overseas martial arts hegemony and officially began to expand.
Once Chen Yang can reach the sixth round of the semi-finals!
Then the influence of the Douyin platform will expand to the Asian martial arts world.
Because of the exclusive buyout of the Chen Yang boxing match, all media in Asia that want to broadcast it need to purchase the broadcasting rights from Douyin.
The commercial benefits are simply immeasurable.
so,
Douyin paid a high price to buy Chen Yang's exclusive live broadcast rights, which was considered a big gamble.
Whether he can make a profit depends on Chen Yang's performance in the 'Battle of the Thai Kings'.
at this time,
South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, China, West Asia...
Boxing fans from all over Asia cheered at the Bangkok Sports Center.
certainly,
Due to visa issues, the largest number of spectators at the venue were naturally from southern Thailand.
The King of Thailand personally represented the royal family of southern Thailand and presided over the opening ceremony of the 'War of the King of Thailand'.
The ticket prices for this year's 'Battle of the Thai Kings' are very high.
The influence of the boxing match is so great that no matter how high the ticket price is, once it is launched, it will still be difficult to get a ticket.
Boxing fans who can watch the fight in person will naturally not care about the ticket price.
Chen Yang raised his head and glanced at the audience.
too many people……!
This year's 'Battle of the Thai Kings', the ticket revenue alone will be a huge sum of money.
There are also various sponsorships, advertising, etc.
Although he finally won the championship gold belt of "The Battle of Thailand", he could get a bonus of 100 million US dollars.
At the same time, you can get ticket and other dividends, and you can get a total of 300 million U.S. dollars in income.
If you add in the total prize money from all the top eight players in the fifth round,
The total expenditure of the organizers of 'The Battle of Thailand' will not exceed US$500 million.
And looking at the atmosphere at the scene,
This 'Thai King's Battle' organized by the Asian Martial Arts Federation will definitely make a lot of money.
No wonder the Asian Martial Arts Federation is so rich. Holding such a competition is not an ordinary way to make money.
certainly,
As the organizer, Tainan can naturally make a lot of money.
not to mention,
As boxing fans from all over Asia flock to the event, it can greatly boost the tourism industry in southern Thailand.
so
In every 'Thai King's Battle', Tainan attaches great importance to it.
Not only did they invest a lot of money in infrastructure construction, they also received a lot of investment from the Asian Martial Arts Alliance.
The 'Battle of the Thai Kings' is held for ten days in total.
Seven rounds of battle!
After the opening game, it goes directly to the first knockout round.
If you want to advance to the next round, you must defeat your opponent.
so,
The boxing match is extremely brutal, fierce and bloodthirsty.
Every boxing match is the most severe test for the boxers' mental state, strength, willpower, etc.
All participating boxers will lose the chance to advance to the next round and be eliminated as long as they lose one fight.
Boom... boom...
Amid the sound of gun salutes, the opening ceremony of the 'Battle of the Thai Kings' kicked off.
The King of Thailand delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.
Next,
There are cultural performances from southern Thailand, various Buddhist cultures, and Muay Thai performances, etc., which are very exciting to watch.
The atmosphere became more and more lively as time went by.
It's ten o'clock in the morning!
The opening ceremony of 'The Battle of Thailand' ends.
Next comes the exciting moment.
The first round matchup draw!
For all fighters participating in the fight, the draw is very critical.
Which round you can reach depends on your strength, but also depends on luck.
Not everyone has what it takes to win the championship.
so,
If you meet a seeded boxer with the ability to win the championship in advance, you are likely to be eliminated in the first round.
If you draw boxers from small Asian countries in the first round, it will be much easier to advance to the second round.
Everyone hopes to draw a weaker opponent.
In this case, it won't be a 'round trip'!
If the draw is in the first round, the top fighting king of Japan and the top Muay Thai king of southern Thailand will meet.
Then the boxing match will be interesting to watch, it will be absolutely exciting!
The peak showdown will take place in advance.
In this case, it is easy for both sides to lose, and both sides lose the opportunity to advance to the next round.
because,
If both sides fight too fiercely in the first round and get seriously injured.
Even if he won in the end, he would have to give up advancing to the second round.
The draw is random!
so,
Any possibility of a first-round draw is possible.
It's not unusual for the favorites to meet in the first round.
Perhaps it is because of the random system that everyone is looking forward to the 'Battle of the Thai Kings'.
The suspense makes it more attractive and exciting!
Once the lottery results are announced.
In the next two hours, we will enter the preparation stage for the first round of battle.
These two hours are very important.
Because the influence of 'The Battle of the King of Thailand' is too great.
Asia's major consortiums, financial companies, etc. are all eyeing this big fat piece of meat.
Boxing gambling is popular in Southeast Asia!
Compared to the boxing match itself of the 'King of Thailand', the real huge benefit is the huge boxing betting market hidden behind it.
This is the battleground for major interest groups.
Why is the martial arts competition becoming another international battlefield?
To put it simply, it is actually profit!
The source of any dispute is related to interests.
The global boxing betting market is too big. Who would be willing to let go of such a huge market?
Sometimes, betting on boxing is not just about money.
It even includes the right to operate ports, shipping routes, technological exchanges... the opening of trade barriers, etc.!
In short,
In the boxing ring, many issues and disputes can be resolved and a full-scale nuclear war can be avoided.
The purpose of the two hours after the draw of the 'King of Thailand' is to leave a window for betting on boxing.
Five minutes before the opening game,
The channel for boxing betting will be closed in time.
According to data from major banks in Southeast Asia.
The betting funds for this year's 'Battle of the King of Thailand' will reach an extremely terrifying figure.
From the first round to the final seventh round of the boxing match.
All boxing matches added up to a total of 127 peak duels.
In the first three rounds of the showdown, the capital flow for betting may not be too large.
But,
Once you get to the fourth round, the amount of money you can bet will skyrocket.
According to the statistics of previous "Thai King's War",
After entering the sixth round of the semi-finals, the amount of money bet on each boxing match exceeded 20 billion US dollars.
This does not include the outside of the boxing match.
so,
The 'Battle of the King of Thailand' goes to the end, the more intense and cruel the boxing match becomes!
Especially the final battle.
The total betting capital for a boxing match is even more unimaginable.
After the opening ceremony.
The draw results for the first knockout round of 'The Battle of Thailand' will be announced soon.
Zhan Zhilei VS Ryuichi Kusanagi;
Qiu Jianqiang VS Park Junsu;
Baili Qinglong VS Almarad;
Xiao Zhen VS Ruan Jingyun;
Hao Liancheng VS Gebaltu;
Chen Yang VS Kun Shuo;
The first round list of the six boxers from the Chinese 'Guowu' delegation came out.
Tang Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the final lottery results.
The results of the first round of the 'Battle of the Thai Kings' were good luck.
At least in the first round battle list,
The six boxers who participated in the battle did not meet the top masters from Rijia and Tainan.
certainly,
No boxer who can participate in the 'King of Thailand' fight can be weak.
It will not be that easy for anyone who wants to advance to the second round.
"Kun Shuo? This guy picked in the first round should be from Tainan, right?"
"How strong is this guy?"
"It seems that this guy is not included in the information about the 'National Martial Arts Hall'. I wonder if he is a master in the Muay Thai training camp?"
"The most powerful Muay Thai champions in southern Thailand are all top masters who have understood the power of "Ancient Muay Thai"."
"Has this guy understood the power of "Ancient Muay Thai"?"
Chen Yang muttered to himself when he saw the list of people he was going to play against in the first round.
He didn't expect that in the first round of the 'Thai King's Battle', he would have to face the top players from southern Thailand.
Muay Thai fighters are fierce, domineering and extremely difficult to deal with.
but,
Chen Yang didn't have the slightest worry in his heart. Instead, he was eager to try and had extremely strong fighting spirit.
He trained hard at the "Guowu Tang" training center in Beijing for a month.
His level of martial arts power has been completely consolidated.
and,
He and the other five members of the 'National Martial Hall' have to conduct actual combat training in the ring every day.
This time I participated in the 'War of the King of Thailand'.
He has only one goal, and that is to win the championship and take the final gold belt!
Based on the training exchange with five other people during this time.
Chen Yang has a detailed understanding of Muay Thai.
Muay Thai fighting style is very fierce and domineering.
Especially the leg skills, elbow strikes, and knee strikes are extremely ferocious and extremely lethal.
If Chen Yang's martial arts power level had not broken through to 'Mingjin Xiaocheng' and mastered it.
Maybe he still can't control his fighting power.
but,
After more than a month of hard training, he has mastered his basic attributes and power level.
so,
He is bound to win the final championship of the 'Thai King of War'!
Anyone who wants to stop him from winning the championship will pay a heavy price.
If we take the past era when martial arts was at its peak as an example.
With Chen Yang's current level of 'Ming Jin Xiao Cheng', he can be regarded as a top master.
"Qiu Jianqiang, in the first round of this knockout round, your luck in the draw is considered to be the worst."
"You must be extremely careful in this battle."
"Park Junsu is a disciple of South Korea's Taekwondo Masters Association, and is known as the strongest man in South Korea!"
"This guy's combat prowess is extraordinary. He is proficient in actual combat taekwondo, kickboxing, and Sambo combat skills!"
"Based on his record and reputation in the Asian martial arts world, you are not on the same level as him."
"According to the evaluation given by the 'National Military Center', the probability of you defeating him is less than 20%!"
“So when you get in the ring, you have to play it by ear and don’t be pushy.”
"There's no shame in being defeated. Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood!"
"Once you feel something is wrong, give in decisively and slap the ground three times with your palms. Remember!"
"I care more about your safety than advancing to the second round, do you understand?"
Tang Lie took a look at the lineup and looked at Qiu Jianqiang.
call……!
Qiu Jianqiang took a deep breath, feeling a little aggrieved.
Horse riding...
Unexpectedly, in the first round, Park Junsu, the top player in South Korea, was drawn. What a bad luck...!
but,
How could he have weakened his momentum before he even started fighting?
Qiu Jianqiang gritted his teeth, exuding a strong fighting spirit, and said in a deep voice:
"I understand! If the situation is not right, I will definitely admit defeat."
"However, if the South Korean stick wants to defeat me easily, it depends on whether he has such strength!"
"I've always wanted to fight him."
"This guy is called the 'King of Legs' in South Korea. Let me see how strong his legs are...!"
this moment,
Qiu Jianqiang's fighting spirit surged throughout his body, and his fighting spirit was extremely strong.
Tang Lie glanced at Qiu Jianqiang and frowned slightly.
but,
The war was about to start, so he didn't say much to avoid affecting everyone's state.
Everyone is the top martial arts master in the country, so they naturally know what they are going to do next.
Before even playing, he planned how to admit defeat.
Then hit the horse with a hammer...!
so,
Tang Lie just analyzed the current situation and did not ask everyone what to do.
Next,
After Tang Lie encouraged Qiu Jianqiang, he looked at Xiao Zhen.
"Xiao Zhen, in the first round, your opponent is Ruan Jingyun from South Vietnam."
"This guy's reputation in the Asian martial arts world is extremely low. It can even be said that no one will pay attention to him."
"But if you underestimate this kid, you will suffer a big loss."
"No one in the Asian martial arts world dares to underestimate Ruan Jingyun, not even the top fighting king of Japan dares to underestimate him."
"This guy's attacks are vicious and vicious, his fighting style is extremely cruel, and his speed is incredibly fast, making it impossible to avoid him!"
"Before we came here, we specifically investigated Ruan Jingyun. This guy has been fighting in the underground boxing circles in Southeast Asia and has killed many people in the boxing ring."
"He is a super [agile] boxer. He is too fast, attacks fiercely, and can just restrain you in his fighting style!"
"So, you were very unlucky when you drew Ruan Jingyun in the first round!"
"As I said before, don't be brave. When you find something is wrong, be decisive...!"
The first round of the Thai King’s Battle,
Xiao Zhen and Qiu Jianqiang were relatively unlucky.
The strength of their two opponents cannot be underestimated.
At least in terms of overall strength, the two have a very small chance of advancing to the second round.
Tang Lie took the lead and told the two of them that he hoped they could ensure their own safety and not to care too much about winning or losing.
Relatively speaking, according to the draw results of the other four boxers, as long as they perform stably, it is not difficult to advance to the second round.
According to the results of the first round of draws,
Four of the six boxers from the Chinese 'Guowu' delegation should advance to the second round.
so,
Luck in drawing lots does matter.
"Ruan Jingyun!? I've never heard of it."
"How strong can this guy be? Only after beating him will you know whether he can do it or not."
"What about a super [agile] boxer? He can't be faster than Chen Yang, right?"
"I have been practicing with Chen Yang in the boxing ring for so long, and I am afraid that he will be a hammer."
"Don't worry, Old Tang, he's just a South Vietnamese monkey. Let's see if I don't beat him out...!"
Xiao Zhen said with an unconvinced look.
He is the number one master in the Northeast and the top 'Sanda King' ranking fourth in the domestic martial arts arena.
How can you be afraid of South Vietnamese boxers?
To know,
South Vietnamese people are generally small in stature, like monkeys.
Xiao Zhen is tall and mighty, full of strength.
He came to Bangkok in southern Thailand and didn't want to be eliminated in the first round.
so,
Even if Tang Lie repeatedly asked him to be careful, he could not give up and admit defeat to the South Vietnamese!
Xiao Zhen is from Heilong Province in Northeast China. He has a straightforward personality and doesn't think too much.
To admit defeat to the South Vietnamese, to be honest, he couldn't do it.
call……!
Tang Lie looked up at Xiao Zhen, took a deep breath, and shook his head helplessly.
Depend on!
What a waste of saliva.
Xiao Zhen is famous for his stubborn temper. Unless you beat him into submission, he will not obey anyone.
In the 'Guowu Hall', Xiao Zhen is famous for being a headache.
He didn't listen to anyone, even Zhan Zhilei, he dared to directly challenge him to the ring for a duel.
The only person I'm afraid of may be Chen Yang!
because,
Every time he disobeyed, he would be beaten violently by Chen Yang.
If you don't obey, beat until you obey.
so,
After a month of violent beatings, Xiao Zhen was not only subdued, but also a little afraid of Chen Yang.
Tang Lie knew that there was no use in continuing to give Xiao Zhen instructions.
He could only encourage him, let him work hard, and make full use of his fighting power.
After a while,
Tang Lie Brick looked at Zhan Zhilei, nodded and said with a smile:
"In the first round of drawing, Zhan Zhilei's luck is pretty good."
"Ryuichi Kusanagi is the weakest boxer in the Hijima 'Kunibu' delegation."
"Although he is one of the fighting kings in Japan, his overall strength is not particularly outstanding."
"This guy's offense is mainly about his legs. Although he is very explosive, he is not fast enough."
"Zhan Zhilei, as long as you perform steadily, I believe it will not be difficult to defeat Kusanagi Ryuichi."
"Your extreme speed attack style can perfectly restrain him."
"Of course, as long as you get in the ring, don't underestimate your opponent."
"You are a veteran of our 'National Martial Arts Hall', so I won't say more. It's up to you to decide, just be careful!"
Zhan Zhilei smiled and said calmly:
"I will be careful! My motto is, as long as you get in the ring, never look down on anyone."
Tang Lie nodded and said nothing more.
Zhan Zhilei is a representative figure in the Chinese martial arts world, and his combat power has always been very stable, which is reassuring.
In the domestic martial arts world, he is mature, stable, and experienced, but he is the most reassuring one.
"I believe you will be able to advance to the second round, but you must remember one thing: if you can kill the opponent in the ring, don't show mercy!"
"This is another battlefield between nations!"
"Everyone comes to Bangkok in southern Thailand, you are the real warriors!"
"Every time you kill an opponent, you have one more chance to survive and weaken the opponent's overall combat strength."
"If you show mercy, it will be the greatest cruelty to yourself!"
"Because it's impossible for your opponent to be merciful easily."
"This is the battle between the Thai kings, put away your pity!"
"Kindness here is the behavior of the weak...!"
…
Next,
Tang Lie was like an old woman, nagging non-stop.
He constantly analyzes his opponents and explains their weaknesses and styles.
As the vice president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, Tang Lie is specifically responsible for the "foreign wars" in the Asian martial arts world!
so,
He knows all the masters in the Asian martial arts world very well.
He knows all the boxers participating in the King of Thailand fight and has done enough homework.
at this time,
Chen Yang listened to Tang Lie's analysis of all the opponents in the first round and what tactics he would use to have a better chance of winning.
To be honest, the more Chen Yang listened, the more impressed he became!
Know thyself, ever-victorious!
Tang Lie is definitely an extremely good tactician.
If everyone faces opponents in the boxing ring, the difference in strength is not particularly obvious.
According to the tactics given by Tang Lie, the chance of winning is much greater.
After a while,
Tang Lie finally looked at Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, your opponent is Kunshuo."
"This person is a top boxer at the Muay Thai training camp in Bangkok, southern Thailand. He has not won the title of Muay Thai champion."
"He has not even participated in the Thai boxing championship competition in southern Thailand!"
"However, this person's comprehensive combat power cannot be underestimated."
"I can't give you any more advice because I don't know this person well. This is Kunshuo's first time in the martial arts world."
"Like you, he has no reputation in the Asian martial arts world. His background is too clean. No one understands his fighting style and style characteristics."
"The top masters who come out of Muay Thai training camps usually understand the power of "Ancient Muay Thai"!"
"They all have the fighting ability of Muay Thai champions, so don't take it lightly."
Chen Yang nodded, smiled calmly and said:
"Is "Ancient Muay Thai" very strong? I have to give it a try!"
"Don't say that he only has the strength of a Muay Thai champion. Even if he is the top Muay Thai champion in southern Thailand, what is there to fear?"
at this time,
Chen Yang acted very calmly, without any disturbance in his heart, and seemed to give people a nonchalant feeling.
seem……
He didn't pay much attention to the first round of 'The Battle of Thailand'.
call……!
Tang Lie couldn't help but take a deep breath and frowned.
Fortunately, he knew Chen Yang's combat power very well and had seen Chen Yang's peak combat power.
or,
He would definitely scold Chen Yang to make Chen Yang put away his arrogance.
During the month of training at the 'National Martial Hall',
Chen Yang beat the other five members of the Guowu Hall to such an extent that they did not dare to get on the ring to train with him in actual combat.
Even though everyone was wearing thick protective gear, they were all screaming in agony after being beaten by him.
At this time, Tang Lie could only nod to Chen Yang and encourage him.
Young people must be proud!
You have to be motivated and passionate...!
Tang Lie was still looking forward to which round Chen Yang could advance to.
People can be crazy!
But you must have crazy capital.
