Most of the people in the boxing gym are familiar with Jiang Shen. Anyone who sees him will imitate Bai Jin and call him "little swan". It was a beautiful and rare thing. After Jiang Shen greeted them, he was led to the backstage lounge. As soon as Bai Jin tied up the tape, he smiled when he saw him: "You are here."
Every time Jiang Shen watched Bai Jin fight, he was more nervous than dancing on stage. He sat in front of Bai Jin with gloves in his hand.
"I'll put it on for you." Jiang Shen said.
Bai Jin nodded, put his hand into the glove, Jiang Shen closed his eyes, grabbed his glove and began to think again.
"..." Bai Jinyi, "Did the pre-match prayer start so early?"
Jiang Shen said solemnly: "Only with sincerity can it be realized."
Bai Jinyi held back his smile.
Guan Buping, the little master of the boxing gym, came in to make some final preparations. When he saw Jiang Shen, he called him enthusiastically, "Little Swan!"
Jiang Shen let out an "ah".
Guan Buping: "Would you like to sit down with Bai Erdai's manager later?"
Jiang Shen nodded, and Guan Buping looked at Bai Jin again: "Coach Sangbu asked you, can he come in?"
Bai Jin waved his hand: "Let him in."
Senbu finally came in. He has been teaching with Bai Jinyi for more than three years. Because the second generation of Bai refused to learn English, Senbu could only learn Chinese. Now his Chinese accent is almost gone, and he still babbles. , Bai Jinyi didn't want to talk to him much before the match.
"Hi, Tundra Swan." Senbu also liked Jiang Shen very much, and he hugged the boy enthusiastically, "Your muscles have become more beautiful again."
…Jiang Shen always felt that the coaches and dance teachers were scary. They seemed to have see-through eyes, and they could see what the flesh underneath you looked like through layers of clothes.
As soon as Bai Jin stood up, he held Jiang Shen's hand through the glove, and said in a low voice, "Go to the auditorium and wait for me."
Jiang Shen didn't know what to say, his hands were shaking nervously, and Bai Jinyi shook them hard again.
"I will win." Bai Jin smiled, looked at Jiang Shen and said, "I will return to you safely."
Jiang Shen was sitting in the audience, and next to him was Bai Jinyi's manager, Su Fang. He said he was a manager, but in fact, it was the team that the Bai family found for Bai Jinyi. Su Fang had trained many well-known domestic boxers before. She and In the past few years of working together, Bai Jinyi has almost taken care of him like the half-son of the other party.
"Shen Shen." Su Fang took good care of herself, she didn't seem to be over 40 at all, she patted Jiang Shen on the back, "Relax, don't be nervous."
Jiang took a few deep breaths, but the effect was obviously not working.
Su Fang raised her chin, leaned into his ear and said, "Luo Zhou is playing."
The difference between middleweight and lightweight players can be seen from the body shape. Since Bai Jinyi decided to play middleweight, gaining weight and muscle is the focus of daily work. Because Jiang Shen meets him every day, what changes? You may not feel it too much, but it will be different when you are in the boxing ring.
The other party is obviously a year or two older than Bai Jin. In addition to being taller, his shoulders and back are exaggerated. He was the runner-up in the youth group last year, and the support team is stronger than Bai Jinyi. Shouts erupted in the arena.
Before Jiang Shen looked back, Bai Jinyi appeared on the other side.
Su Fang stood up and took the lead in shouting. Jiang Shen also stood up and followed the crowd closely. Bai Jinyi seemed to have noticed something, took off the hood of the boxer's cloak, and looked down.
When their eyes met, Bai Jin raised his eyebrows, making Jiang Shen smile.
In the boxing match of the youth group, protective gear was still worn. The referee came on stage and asked the two sides to bump their fists to salute.
Su Fang's voice is not inferior to the big men in the boxing gym at all. Of course, the level of violence is the same. Bai Jinyi is still good at wandering, and he quickly swung his fist while dodging. After the first three minutes, the two sides came together Come and go and score each other.
Su Fang stood on tiptoe to see the final points given by the judges on the big screen, frowned and said, "We're behind."
Jiang Shen was still nervous: "In the first game, there is still a chance later."
Su Fang: "It's not easy to get points from Luo Zhou. His boxing style is a bit similar to that of Bai Jinyi. They are both guerrilla-style. Bai Jinyi just hit the middleweight class, so he has little experience." After a pause, Su Fang was quite open-minded, "As long as this one doesn't get knocked out, it's fine. Bai Jinyi is only too big to clinch the points in the runner-up's hands, and the media will keep their eyes closed."
...Jiang Shen didn't quite understand their business operation model in boxing, he only knew that Bai Jinyi would never want to lose.
Sure enough, in the next 7 consecutive rounds, Bai Jinyi gave up his best walk and started to fight. This kind of blood exchange is commonly known in the boxing ring. It is not uncommon to see who hits the KO first. This kind of tactics is not uncommon in the world boxing ring. One of the most famous battles is the one between David Tua and Ibi Butch. The two punched each other more than 1,700 times In the end, David Tua relied on his incredible fighting ability to KO his opponent in 12 games.
At the end of the eighth match, the referee took a long time to separate the two contestants because the match was too fierce, and warned each other once. Luo Zhou changed his mouthguard, and the water he spit out when rinsing his mouth was all red. Once seated in front of the corner post, he tilted his head up and let the coach deal with the half-bleeded nose.
Su Fang bit her finger with a complicated expression. She obviously didn't expect Bai Jin to be so hard-working, so she had to step forward to remind him.
"I know how to measure." Bai Jin turned his head to speak, and Jiang Shen got close, only to realize that the corner of the other's eye was also injured.
As soon as Bai Jin stretched out his fist, he pointed at him falsely: "Don't make such an expression, I haven't lost yet."
Jiang Shen didn't speak, but nodded with red eyes.
After a one-minute break, Bai Jinyi was about to go on stage again.
"There are four games left, save some energy." The coach finally said, "If you can't get the KO, don't force yourself, as long as the loss is not ugly."
Bai Jin didn't answer, just waved his arm to show that he knew.
The boxing ring where twelve rounds have been played is no longer just a boxing ring, it seems to be more like a sea of fire and a mountain of knives, covered with blood, tears and sweat.
Su Fang held Jiang Shen's hand, looked at the stage, and said calmly: "Whether you win or lose, you have to watch it without dropping a punch."
Jiang Shen's eyes fell on every punch that Bai Jin swung. They hit their lives and shattered their dreams, but without hesitation, they were like the starlight that traveled through the universe of thousands of light years and finally fell on the earth.
The bell rang, and Bai Jinyi's last punch hit Luo Zhou in the face.
The referee made a KO gesture and went on stage for a few seconds. Bai Jinyi stood still and did not move. With five seconds left, Luo Zhou stood up.
The points on the big screen had already come out. In the end, the judges judged that the KO failed. After Bai Jin added points, the total points were only behind by two points.
Although Luo Zhou won the victory, it was extremely difficult, and there was not much joy after the victory. Su Fang was insanely happy, and hugged the coach assistant to celebrate.
After returning to the lounge, the reporters and interviewers who came blocked the way outside, and Jiang Shen struggled to squeeze in with the help of Guan Buping.
As soon as Bai Jin removed the tape, he looked up and saw him, and said, "Are you here?"
Jiang Shen squatted in front of Bai Jinyi, looked at him cleanly, and said softly, "I'm here."
The wound on the corner of Bai Jin's eye was serious, and half of his face looked swollen. This was the first time Jiang Shen saw Bai Jinyi, who had always been proud and arrogant, showing a look of embarrassment that he had never seen before.
Jiang Shen couldn't help stretching out his hand, touched it lightly, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Bai Jinyi: "You ask me that every time I get hurt."
Jiang Shen: "Because you hurt me, I will feel uncomfortable."
Bai Jinyi seemed to want to laugh, and "hissed" again when he touched the wound: "Then do you feel bad if I lose the game?"
Jiang Shen asked back: "Are you uncomfortable?"
He thought for a while, and said seriously: "If you feel uncomfortable, I will feel uncomfortable, and if you are happy, I will be happy too."
Bai Jin looked at him, and after a long time, he sighed. He stretched out his hand, wrapped the little swan in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Let me hold it for a while."
Jiang Shen didn't move, he could feel Bai Jinyi's hair brushing against his cheek, so for some reason, his earlobe became hot.
"That..." Jiang Shen endured it for a while, and couldn't take it anymore, and said awkwardly, "My heart beats a little fast."
Bai Jinyi still leaned against him and asked casually, "What's wrong? Have a fever?"
Jiang Shen really touched his forehead, and honestly said: "It's not..." He saw that Bai Jinyi's upper body was still naked, and the exposed skin was much whiter than others, so he covered him with a towel and said seriously , "There are people outside, you can't let others see you blindly."
Bai Jinyi: "??"
After recording the post-match interview arranged by Su Fang, Bai Jinyi and Jiang Shen returned to the villa.
After all, he lost the game, so the second generation Bai was not in a good mood, so he just accompanied Little Swan to practice in the dance room to kill time after dinner.
"How is your practice in Swan Lake?" Bai Jin asked on the lazy sofa, "When can you dance for me?"
Jiang Shen was splitting a horse, his face was a little red on the floor, and he muttered: "Don't rush..."
Bai Jinyi: "I don't have any urges, let's not talk about Swan Lake, when is your performance? Don't you have a ticket for me?"
Jiang Shen: "How can I have any performances now? They are all for senior brothers and sisters. Do you want to come and see them?"
Bai Jin took a look at him, and said, "Of course I want to see it. What's wrong with you, the protagonist is not you. I can cut and cut everyone else." As he said, the index finger and thumb of both hands were still Comparing the camera, he blinked at Jiang Shen, "I'll just leave you alone and show it to me."
Jiang Shen: "..."
