A strong black man, who was also a former super boxing champion, suddenly hugged himself and started crying, which made Dai Li feel at a loss.
Dai Li really wanted to push him away, but with Dai Li's strength, he couldn't push a heavyweight boxing champion away. Dai Li pushed him for a long time, but it was all in vain.
"What the hell? This guy is drunk or has taken too many drugs!" Dai Li kept complaining in his mind.
In fact, both of these exist. It can be clearly judged from the smell of alcohol exuding from Taylor that he drank a lot; and he also smoked a large amount of marijuana, which would have caused unconsciousness. Clear, accompanied by delusions, hallucinations and thinking disorders.
At this time, Taylor was crying like a wronged child. Not only tears, but also saliva and snot came out, and he even wiped Dai Li all over.
"Angie, I miss you so much. I was wrong. I was such an idiot. I forgot everything you told me before you died. If you were here, I wouldn't be like this." Taylor choked out.
"Anji? Instructions before death? What kind of nonsense are these?" Dai Li thought inexplicably.
Perhaps because the alcohol was back on him, Taylor cried for a while and fell asleep again. Soon after, he started crying again as if talking in his sleep, and then fell asleep again.
After struggling like this for more than an hour, Taylor finally became quiet and snored. After more than an hour, Taylor finally woke up. He opened his eyes, sat up, and looked around with a blank expression.
Tyler was obviously someone who often came into the police station. He was busy for a short time, and then he immediately realized where he was.
"This is the detention room of the police station!" Taylor looked at Dai Li next to him and muttered to himself: "There is also a Chinese."
Seeing Dai Li's face, Taylor suddenly recalled that he had just had a dream. He saw Anji, who had been dead for many years. In the dream, Anji looked like a Chinese face, just like the person in front of him. .
"Could it be that I just kept holding this guy and crying bitterly? Oh my God! Never let this happen, it's so embarrassing!" Taylor suddenly realized something. He shook his head and thought to himself Wake up.
"Want some water?" Dai Li handed the remaining half bottle of water to Taylor.
Taylor didn't say anything. He took the bottle and drank the water in one gulp. For such a tall and strong man, this little water was enough to moisten his throat.
Then, Taylor threw the bottle aside, looked at Dai Li with an embarrassed look, and asked softly: "Did I do something ridiculous and stupid just now?"
Dai Li did not respond directly. He thought for a few seconds and then asked: "Is Anji your friend?"
"Sure enough! It's really embarrassing..." Taylor lowered his head to demonstrate his embarrassment, and said at the same time: "Angie is my coach, and he is also my father."
"I'm sorry." Li Dai apologized hastily. It was also a very impolite behavior to mention someone else's deceased relative.
Taylor on the opposite side said: "I was born in a slum in Brooklyn. When I was 9 years old, I entered a juvenile detention center. It is not easy to survive in a juvenile detention center. Fighting is a part of life, and in this aspect , I am born stronger than others, and those kids who are older than me can't beat me."
"Later, I met Angie, who was an instructor in the juvenile detention center. He cared about me very much, took me to eat in restaurants outside, and taught me how to box. Later he became my guardian and took me out of the juvenile detention center. He gave me a family, and Angie was like a father to me, raising me and teaching me."
"When I was about to become a professional boxer, Angie passed away. Before he died, Angie called me to the bedside. He said that I was too impulsive and would suffer big losses in the future, so he asked me to change this. Bad habits, he taught me to learn to be calm, to be rational, and to learn to suppress my emotions."
Taylor reasoned, with a look of pain on his face: "But I turned a deaf ear to Angie's last words. I was sorry for him, so I became like this. I think if Angie saw me like this, , he will definitely be disappointed."
After Taylor finished speaking, his head hung lower. He was more like a frightened ostrich, hoping to bury his head in the thick sand to escape the cruelty shown.
Dai Li immediately changed the subject: "Then do you still remember why you came in today?"
"It must have been a fight. I may have hurt someone again." Taylor looked at the dried blood from his injury and continued: "I drank and smoked some marijuana, so I can't remember the specific situation. It’s so clear, I just remember someone came to me and scolded me, and then I punched him... "
After Taylor finished speaking, he raised his head: "Then how did you get caught?"
"Because I had lunch with my companion." Li Dai shook his head helplessly: "My companion may have gotten into trouble, and we just went to the restaurant to eat together. When the police came to arrest him, I was also taken there here."
"Don't worry, if that's the case, you should be let out soon." Taylor comforted.
"Maybe you got out earlier than me. You are a celebrity. You should be released on bail as soon as your lawyer arrives." Li Dai said.
"Lawyer? Hahaha..." Taylor smiled bitterly: "I can't afford a lawyer anymore."
"How is this possible if we can't afford a lawyer?" Dai Li looked at Taylor in surprise. In his impression, Taylor had earned at least two to three billion U.S. dollars since his debut. Among all professional athletes in the United States, he had earned How can a super rich person not afford a lawyer
"Do you think it's ridiculous?" Taylor shook his head mockingly: "I have earned 500 million US dollars over the years, but spent 520 million US dollars, which means that I am now in debt of 20 million US dollars, let alone a lawyer. Fee, I don’t even have money to buy wine! I’m already planning to go through bankruptcy proceedings and then get relief, otherwise I might not even be able to afford food!”
"How could this happen?" It was hard for Dai Li to imagine that the strongest heavyweight boxing champion in the world would end up like this.
"Five hundred million US dollars is enough to pile up a hill. Now even if you give me five hundred million US dollars, I don't know how to spend it. But this guy not only spent all the money, but also owes 20 million US dollars." Dai Li thought to himself.
Taylor on the other side let out a long sigh: "Looking back now, I've brought it upon myself. When I was rich, there were always a bunch of friends around me. I bought them famous brands, and I bought more than a hundred sports cars. They drove, and I took them to Vegas to gamble and lost tens of millions in one night! And when I was down, they all disappeared without a trace. When I called them, they were all rejected. !”
"I also found a scumbag agent. He has been making false accounts and defrauded me of almost all my money. For example, the towel I used during the game, which only cost one or two yuan, was written on his account Do you dare to imagine wearing a towel worth 8,000 US dollars? If I had seen his true face earlier, I would have fired him, and I would not be in this situation now, with no money for food. Hey , I feel sorry for my little Tiantian, she will starve with me... "
"Xiao Tiantian? You see there is still someone willing to stay by your side and go through the difficulties with you." Dai Li opened his mouth to comfort him.
"Tiantian is my tiger. He is a beautiful Bengal tiger. I have raised him since he was a child. He is like my son..." Taylor explained.
Dai Li was speechless for a while. Anyone who said the name "Xiao Tiantian" would think of a woman, but when it came to Taylor, it turned out to be a tiger, and he kept the tiger as a pet. This was really something only a rich man could do.
"You really can't afford to raise a tiger in your current situation." Li Dai sighed, and then said: "But it doesn't matter. You should be 32 years old this year. For professional boxers, 32 is not old. You can still make a comeback.”
"Make a comeback?" Taylor shook his head helplessly: "It's no longer possible. I'm no longer the Kevin Taylor I was back then. Now I can no longer hit the fast and fierce punches I did back then. I am old. For a professional boxer, 32 years old is indeed not old. Many boxers are still in their prime at the age of 32, but I am different from others. "
"I don't know if you know boxing, but the characteristics of my technical fighting style determine that I must resolve the fight within the first few rounds. I am not a boxer who can be consumed. Once the opponent delays it beyond ten rounds , my physical strength will decline seriously, and I will lose the game. The only game I lost in the first five years of my career was when my opponent delayed me for ten rounds, and then I was passively beaten."
"So at 32 years old, I am already old. Now I am no longer the top boxer in the world. I don't know if I am still top-notch. Maybe a younger top-tier boxer can beat me. .I’m old and can’t fight anymore.”
Dai Li nodded slightly. When he detected Taylor, he had already seen his technical characteristics.
Taylor's arms are not long. By the standards of a boxer, his arms are relatively short. His skills are not the best, at least not a top-notch boxer, but his fists are definitely the sharpest. His basic fighting style is to quickly approach the opponent. When the opponent enters his attack range, he will launch a series of combination fast punch attacks.
Although Taylor is a heavyweight, his ordinary punching power level can reach the super heavyweight level, and his punching speed is also very fast, so in the same level of confrontation, few people can resist his power. He uses combination punches, so most of his matches involve knocking down his opponent in the first round.
Taylor relies on this move to win all over the world. It is a bit similar to Cheng Yaojin's three moves. Everyone knows that Cheng Yaojin only has these three moves, but when competing on the battlefield, he cannot stop these three moves.
Taylor's style of play must rely on two basic factors. One is his strong resistance to punches. He often receives one or two punches when approaching his opponent. Without the ability to resist punches, subsequent attacks will be impossible. Many experts even believe that his ability to resist hitting is the strongest in the same level.
The second is his amazing explosive power. Taylor's explosive power at his peak was definitely the strongest in the history of boxing. That kind of extremely fast continuous punches requires a lot of explosive power from the body and consumes a lot of physical energy. Therefore, for Taylor, when a storm of attacks starts at the beginning of the game, if he does not defeat his opponent, he is often in trouble. His remaining physical strength is not enough to support him to launch a second round of stormy attacks. , and by that time, the shortcoming of his arms being not long enough will keep him in a passive position of being beaten.
When Taylor was young, his explosive power was indeed amazing. As he gets older, especially after the age of 30, even if his strength has not deteriorated much, his body's explosive power will continue to degrade, and it will degrade very quickly. For an athlete with Taylor's technical characteristics, the degradation of explosive power is simply a disaster. The possibility of defeating his opponent with a fierce attack like before is getting smaller and smaller.
…
Dai Li looked at Taylor with some sympathy, and he asked: "What are you going to do in the future? Are you not going to continue boxing? Are you not going to be a professional boxer?"
"I'm not healed yet. My suspension period will end in one month. Let's take it one step at a time. Let's wait until the suspension is over." Taylor raised his head, looking at the bars with empty eyes, and then said: "If I didn't If I go bankrupt, I might open a boxing gym and ask people to box."
"You now owe 20 million yuan instead of 2,000 yuan. Do you think opening a boxing gym can pay off your debt?" Dai Li poured a basin of cold water on him.
Of course Taylor knew that opening a boxing gym would never be able to pay off the debt of 20 million US dollars in his lifetime, unless he could train a second super boxing champion like himself.
"So there is actually only one way before you, and that is to continue boxing." Dai Li said decisively.
There was a complicated look in Taylor's eyes. He naturally knew that what Li Dai said was true. He could only pay off his debt by continuing to box. But deep in his heart, there was a kind of fear.
A fear of starting all over again!
Taylor has been away from boxing for two years. During the two years of being suspended, Taylor has lost all his gold belts. His points in various boxing leagues have been cleared. He is no longer waiting at the top. The boxing champion who is challenged by others must become a challenger and start all over again, fight after fight, climbing up the steps step by step like climbing a tall building.
"Can I still do it now?" This question flashed in Taylor's mind. He knew that he was no longer the Taylor he was more than ten years ago. He was worried that he would lose, and he was afraid of failure.
"I don't know why you are hesitating." Dai Li's voice sounded from the side, and he continued: "But I don't think you have any other choice. Of course, you can also put down your dignity and get free food. Use coupons, apply for relief funds, become the bottom of society, and live a humble life."
"I know, I know everything you said! I am really hesitating in my heart because I don't know what to do!" Taylor shook his head violently.
"What else can we do? You are a boxer! There are only two things you have to do, compete and train!" Li Dai said.
"Competition? Training?" Taylor smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I once had a very luxurious training room with the best training equipment in the world. I gave the coach a salary of 120,000 US dollars a month. I I also had several sparring partners. But now, these are gone, and my training room has been emptied by the bank! There is no coach, no sparring partners, and I don’t even have a sandbag to practice boxing with!”
"But your people are still there!" Li Dai took two steps forward: "Maybe I can help you solve these problems. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Dai, and I am a coach!"
