Chapter 270 Stealing the Show
Du Sheng and others didn't know about the neon farce for the time being, and even if they knew about it, they would just laugh.
Most people can't do such awesome behavior.
Early the next morning, Du Sheng was having breakfast after sending Zhang Baizhi off to filming.
Wang Yaoyang came to the door.
He took out the K1GP semi-final match list sent by Ma Yaowei, as well as Hust's battle status information.
Wang Yaoyang flipped through the chat records and said:
"Speaking of which, among the top four this time, the remaining three are all players from Haolan.
What’s even more amazing is that two of them are former championship winners.
As for the 'Giant Soldier', he is simply the Thanos of the fighting world.
Such a lineup can only be described as crushing! ”
Zhang Haolong could not restrain his curiosity and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Sheng, what are your chances of winning this time?"
The name of Mr. Just, the perfect man, is known to almost everyone in the fighting circle.
With a height of 189 centimeters and a weight of 110 kilograms, he has a professional record of 86 wins, 9 losses and 1 draw, including 25 direct KOs.
As the king of standing striking techniques, his iconic X-shaped combos, coupled with high-density up-and-down combination attacks, often KO opponents before they have time to defend themselves.
65kg weight difference + technical flow + 11 years of experience in the ring.
Logically speaking, with such a disparity in strength, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to win.
But Du Sheng is not an ordinary person!
The previous champion was killed by him.
As soon as Zhang Haolong said these words, everyone in the car turned their heads and looked over.
Du Sheng just smiled faintly:
"We won't know until we meet at noon. It's too early to talk about it now."
Everyone was confused. Did they have to meet each other or even bump fists to judge the opponent's general strength?
Looking back on past experiences, this seems to be the case.
Sometimes, hearing is false and seeing is true.
In fact, Du Sheng didn't have much to worry about.
Hust has been active in the K1 ring for 11 years and has indeed set an unprecedented record of four finals championships.
Unfortunately, his power is relatively small, and he often relies on the rhythm and frequency of his strikes to make up for his lack of hard hitting ability.
Moreover, boxers who are in the fighting circle usually retire around the age of 35.
And he is already 37 years old, which is considered an advanced boxing star.
Counting the time, next year he will be KOed by Bob Sapp, a fighting amateur, which will become the biggest stain in his career.
To sum up, Hust's condition is no longer at its peak.
Against a fighter like Mark, he might be able to win easily.
But Du Sheng himself is also technical.
Even if the opponent is in its heyday, with the five-layer iron-hard body of "Dragon Elephant" + the combination of various skills, he will not give up in a head-on confrontation.
"Brother Sheng, Yao Wei is a little impatient and asked if he would like to buy lottery tickets in advance."
Wang Yaoyang picked up the phone and couldn't help but ask.
The day before yesterday, Ma Yao Wei took his troops to Neon, not only to collect intelligence, but also to ensure the betting matters.
After all, the previous two large bets and consecutive wins have attracted some people's attention.
In order to prevent accidents and purchase in other cities, it is necessary to make first-hand preparations.
In addition to Wang Jinhua's assistant, Liu Xiaoli was also followed to Neon!
Liu Xiaoli placed a relatively large bet and not only called Liu Yifei's assistant, but also her cousin.
It looked like he was going to make a desperate move.
The odds of [Huste VS Du Sheng] have long been released:
In case of KO, the odds are 1.89:2.62
The odds of a point win are 1.92: 2.54
KO the opponent in the second round, the odds are 2.68:3.29
KO the opponent in the first round, the odds are 2.99:3.56
Even though the organizers and the public still favor Hearst, Du Sheng's performance in the first two games was too shocking.
Especially since his debut, he has knocked out his opponent within two rounds in every game.
As a result, the odds will inevitably be lowered.
Otherwise, the odds of anyone else facing the four-time champion can easily break 4.
Du Sheng originally planned to continue to hide his clumsiness for a while.
But after thinking about it, after so many consecutive liquidations, the organizer and the lottery cannot be fools.
No matter how much you show weakness to your enemy, the odds will most likely be lowered.
Rather than playing unpleasantly, it would be better to be more direct.
"Next 8 million."
This is all the money Du Sheng has left in Neon.
"One round KO"
A stud!
And to avoid unnecessary trouble, it’s better to buy in advance.
"KO in one round?"
Wang Yaoyang took a deep breath after hearing this.
I wonder if I heard it correctly.
After all, the opponent is a four-time champion!
Do you understand the value of the Four Crowns?
However, seeing Du Sheng's indifferent expression, he suppressed his thoughts and did not ask.
"Okay, I'll notify Yao Wei now!"
Zhang Haolong didn't think so much, and immediately said excitedly.
He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
And this time, he plans to follow stud with all his previous wins!
As for losing?
Never thought about it at all.
After all, Du Sheng was not afraid of betting so much.
This is more than just confidence.
On the other side, K1 Affairs Bureau. The popularity of this semi-final match was high and the momentum was overwhelming, exceeding the expectations of the top executives.
You don't need to ask to know that this is mostly due to the boxer from Dongfang Fight.
Just like the catfish effect, it completely muddied the waters in the kickboxing world!
Because Du Sheng is the only welterweight player to reach the semi-finals since the tenth K1GP was held.
The difference in body weight is so huge, it is unprecedented.
Not only boxing fans were eager to discuss it, but even the boxers found it incredible.
There has been a lot of quarrel recently about fighting and Du Sheng-related topics.
Even the UFC and boxing circles have heard about it.
Regardless of whether Du Sheng has mastered the essence of Eastern martial arts or knows the legendary horizontal kung fu, his limelight is even more exciting than when the UFC is about to restart.
In order to ensure that this enthusiasm continues, Chairman Kazuyoshi Ishii simply called shareholders to discuss:
"Should we suppress Hust, or even consider letting him go?"
The purpose is simple, let Du Sheng successfully enter the finals.
Return to the throne of the global fighting world with K1!
At present, K1 has fallen from second to third in the three major fighting fields.
No matter how short-sighted they are, they have to face this reality.
However, as soon as the issue came up, it was vetoed by founder and former chairman Tanigawa Sadaharu.
"Short-sighted! It's like drinking poison to quench thirst!"
Tanigawa Sadaharu said coldly:
"Juster is about to retire, will he risk his reputation for a little money?
Even if he agrees, what price will he have to pay if it comes out or someone threatens him by his braid?
Moreover, Haolan has dominated K1GP for a long time, causing the promotion path to be stagnant. Have you never thought that someone would really overthrow it? ”
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
Didn't mention it again.
However, most of the senior executives still don't think highly of Du Sheng.
After all, the inherent disadvantage is there, no matter how hard you practice, it will be useless.
Unless this awesome martial artist can not break the defense for three rounds and has the physical ability to counterattack!
But is this possible?
Despite this, in order to increase the popularity of this game, the K1 organization held a grand pre-game press conference as always.
At noon that day, Xiangjiang Stadium.
Even though Du Sheng entered the reception area by car, he could still clearly hear the noise outside.
"Brother Sheng, not only were hundreds of media from home and abroad present today, but there were also no less than two thousand boxing fans who came to watch. The occasion is unprecedented!"
Zhang Haolong was full of excitement.
After all, he is from Xiangjiang, and such a grand event makes him very proud.
Not to mention, the contestant is still his brother-in-law.
It would be strange not to be excited.
Du Sheng felt emotional when he saw so many people coming to support him, but he gradually got used to it and said with a smile:
"Let's go, don't keep the organizer waiting."
This time K1 teamed up with the organizer of Xiangjiang, who was the team from "Martial Arts".
Du Sheng said hello to several acquaintances, and then led Wang Yaoyang and others to the front desk.
As soon as Du Sheng appeared, the whole audience was filled with cheers and cheers.
Even for the pre-game press conference, thousands of people were waiting early to catch a glimpse of the show.
The cameras of the major media also began to be busy, and the flashlights flashed like stars, illuminating the entire stage.
It seems to herald the arrival of a historical moment.
Almost at the same moment, Hust walked into the ring from the other side.
Compared with Du Sheng, who was attracting all the attention, his appearance seemed a little deserted and quite embarrassing.
Speaking of which, this was not the first time that Hust saw Du Sheng's name in the newspaper.
He was originally happy to see Du Sheng's surge in popularity.
Because the more famous Du Sheng is, the more attention this boxing match will receive.
Although his opponent this time is weaker, it is not a bad thing for him to get more people to pay attention to him.
Moreover, Just also noticed that the K1 forum almost unanimously laughed at Du Sheng, an Oriental boy, for his arrogance and cowardice.
This means that most of the audience will then turn to support themselves.
As long as he defeats the weakest player among the top four, he will be the last one left to defend his title.
However, the expected scene did not appear today.
On the contrary, it made Hust particularly uncomfortable!
As a star boxer who is a four-time K1 champion, he actually lost in popularity to a cross-border action star?
This situation somewhat insulted Hust.
As a result, he went from smiling when he took the stage to becoming gloomy when he sat down.
Fortunately he is black, otherwise his face would be even more ugly.
After taking their seats, the event organizer first introduced the details of the event to the media to promote the event.
Hust and Du Sheng were less than two meters apart, with their eyes locked on their opponent.
Seeing that Du Sheng was smaller than him in both body shape and height, he could no longer hide the contempt and disdain in his eyes.
That's right, just disdain.
I feel like competing with such an opponent is completely lowering my level!
They black people are famous for being rough and rough, just because they don't like superficial superficial skills.
Coupled with the fact that he had been robbed of the limelight by Du Sheng, Juste's heart was already burning with jealousy.
Fortunately, the managers of the K1 organization were very smart. After a brief introduction, they went directly to the reporter's question session.
At the press conference, Hust said in front of all the media:
"Please prepare the ambulance, I will break his bones before KO!"
Harsh words before a match are a common part of fighting competitions, and are also used by organizers to increase ratings.
But many times, players will bring their personal grudges to the press conference, making the scene more real and intense.
Hust obviously wanted to provoke Du Sheng's anger and give the opponent a blow before the game.
Du Sheng refused to accept this trick and directly picked up the sponsored brand Wahaha on the table and threw it casually.
