Chapter 714 Reappearance of the stunt

"Zhang Guan three rounds KO David Haye"

The headline grabbed the headlines of the evening papers. After all, David Haye is a well-known heavyweight boxing champion in the world, but he lost to a layman. This news is indeed enough to attract the attention of ordinary people. Even Europeans outside the UK will be surprised by the news.

The British are obviously not willing to discuss this matter. David Haye’s challenge was regarded by the British as a battle of revenge and a battle that must be won. David Haye will let Zhang Guan know that British boxing It's not just playing house. However, the end result was that David Haye was technically knocked down.

But people in other countries obviously don't have this consideration, and they take this matter as an interesting talk.

In the Internet age, a piece of news can spread all over the world in less than a second, and the United States on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean immediately learned the result of the game.

HBO TV network is headquartered in New York, USA. It started broadcasting in 1972 and broadcasts entertainment programs such as movies, music, documentaries and sports events around the clock. Unlike most TV channels, HBO does not sell advertisements, but is paid by Americans. watch. And they account for 90% of the US pay TV channel market, which means that at least 9 of every 10 US TV channel paying subscribers regularly watch HBO.

As a TV channel that does not sell advertisements, HBO of course depends on the quality of its programs to win. HBO has the first-class program production team and first-class program broadcast team in the United States.

Jim Lampley is one of them. He is a boxing commentator of HBO and also a commentator of boxing matches. Many people watch the boxing matches televised on HBO, and they all come for Jim Lampley.

Boxing in the United States is very developed and popular, with a huge audience base, especially heavyweight boxing, which is even more popular with Americans than the competitions of the four major leagues. It's not out of the question that a fight between top heavyweights could outshine the Super Bowl if it wasn't aired on premium channels. Therefore, when Americans select the top 100 athletes, Jordan can only be ranked second, and Ali must be the first.

The more popular the audience, the more relevant practitioners. There are not a few media people in the United States who rely on boxing to make a living. Jim Lampley can stand out from the crowd, relying on his witty commentary and accurate judgment of the game situation. , the most important thing is still a very high professional level. In boxing, Jim Lampley's theoretical knowledge is definitely not weaker than those well-known boxing champions.

The weekend is a rest day for many people, but for Jim Lampley, this day is a working day. Because the vast majority of boxing matches are held on weekends.

"The live broadcast of the match at night is still very early. At this time, the boxing match in Europe should have ended. I remember that there should be no big fights between famous fighters today. By the way, I remembered something Interesting thing, David Haye is going to challenge Zhang Guan. The match will be held today. Now the result of the match should come out. I don’t know if Zhang Guan has been beaten and admitted to the hospital. The appearance fee of 20 million pounds, If it is converted into US dollars, it will cost more than 25 million, and it is worth living as a member for a month!" Jim Lampley opened the webpage while thinking, looking for the results of this game.

"Zhang Guan KOs David Haye in three rounds? Zhang Guan can last three rounds, which is pretty good... Wait a minute, is the title upside down? It looks like Zhang Guan KOs David Haye It’s gone. These British people are really careless.” Jim Lampley opened the news while thinking, and the picture of the news is that Zhang Guan punched David Haye body.

"Huh?" Jim Lampley was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously clicked on this picture, wanting to zoom in on it, but it turned out that he just entered the mode of playing a group photo slideshow.

Breakthroughs appeared before Jim Lampley's eyes one after another. Each picture was different, but the content was roughly the same, that is, David Haye was knocked down by Zhang Guan, all kinds of fancy knockouts .

Jim Lampley could tell at a glance that this was not the same attack, which meant that David Haye was knocked down by Zhang Guan in a different way.

"How is this possible? Why are they all pictures of David Haye being beaten!" Jim Lapley finally browsed the last picture, on which the referee raised Zhang Guan's hand, swearing that he was The winner, with David Haye lying on the ground, reduced to the background.

"Did Zhang Guan really win? How could this happen? An outsider defeated David Haye! It's a fantasy, it's a fantasy! This picture is not a PS, or it is David. -Haye let go of the water? It must be like this, Zhang Guan can afford the F1 team, he has plenty of money, maybe spend money to buy David Haye to fight fake races!" Jim Lampley immediately closed the picture and went to see The text of the following report.

"In the first round, David Haye was hit by Zhang Guan; in the second round, David Haye was knocked down twice by Zhang Guan; in the third round, he was knocked down four times, and finally was judged as a technical knockout! One I was knocked down six times in one game. What is this game? Is it completely abused? Even if an amateur player is on stage, it is impossible for him to be abused so badly! Is this really David Haye?"

Jim Lamply suddenly felt that his head was a little "frozen". He was still guessing that David Haye had collected money to play fake matches, but the current match made him completely give up this possibility. If David Haye really took the money, it would be impossible to fall down again and again like this, then get up again and again, and then be thrown again and again Knock down. He could just lie on the ground and play dead after the first knockout, or choose to surrender after the third knockout. After being knocked down three times in a row and conceding defeat, I believe no one will gossip.

But David Haye did not make this choice, so he lost in the end ugly, very embarrassing, and it can even be said that he lost the boxer's face. If David Haye really took money to lose the match on purpose, it is absolutely impossible to choose such an ugly and embarrassing way to lose the match. He is a heavyweight boxing champion after all, and of course a boxing champion must have the dignity of a boxing champion .

"It's not that David Haye took the money, but how could he lose so badly? With his strength, he should be able to rank among the top five in the world in heavyweight boxing. Maybe he beat him so badly! He was knocked down four times in one round? This is not in line with the common sense of boxing. Besides, David Haye also lost a technical knockout and cannot participate in the competition for 30 days. Could it be that Zhang Guan drugged him?"

This kind of conspiracy theory appeared in Jim Lampley's mind. If he was a Chinese, he might think of Huo Yuanjia's story now, and he would regard David Haye as Huo Yuanjia in the 21st century. Yuan Jia.

"I want to watch the video of the game. As long as I see the video, I can always understand what happened. If David Haye was really drugged, it is not just a scandal, but a criminal case. , maybe I will create a super big news, so won’t the ratings of my show rise like a rocket?”

Jim Lampley thought about it again, but felt that this possibility was not great, because David Haye was declared by the doctor that he could not continue the game, and he would definitely go to the hospital for various physical examinations. Now it is not In Huo Yuanjia's era, even a glass of poison could not be detected. With the current level of medical technology, if David Haye was really poisoned, as long as he was sent to the hospital, it must be the result of the fire that could not be wrapped in paper. .

"It can't be that Zhang Guan defeated David Haye with his skills, right? This idea is absurd enough." Jim Lampley shook his head, and then he started looking for the video of the game without hesitation.

As a professional, it is very easy for Jim Lampley to find a video of a match. Even in the 1970s and 1980s, Jim Lampley has the ability to find a video of a boxing match, let alone in the Internet age. The game is recorded.

Ten minutes later, a video of the game appeared on Jim Lamply's computer.

"Is it only ten minutes? But the three rounds of the game will definitely not be too long." Jim Lampley began to watch the video of the game seriously.

The first round of the match seemed dull, neither fighter launched an attack, just circling around the ring.

"Zhang Guan's movements are very wide. It looks like he is jumping around on the boxing ring. Does this consume a lot of energy? He really is not a professional boxer!" Jim Lampley sighed, and the video The picture in the video made him feel a bit boring. At this time, neither of the two people in the video was going to attack, and even the temptation was just a little bit, which obviously couldn't attract Jim Lapley.

"Neither of them attacked rashly. It's really a boring game. Let's fast forward a little bit!" Jim Lampley dragged the mouse to fast forward a large part of the video.

The buffered "small circle" was turned to 100%, and when the screen turned, David Haye was already lying on the ground. This was exactly David Haye in the second half of the second round, because the The screen when being knocked down by the heavy hit effect.

"What's going on here? David Haye has fallen, is it too fast forward?" While Jim Lapley was thinking, in the video, David Haye suddenly stood up from the ground .

Curiosity immediately filled Jim Lampley's heart, and he slowly dragged the mouse to make the video back to the previous situation.

In the screen, Zhang Guan launched an attack, and David Haye also punched Zhang Guan, showing that he was ready to attack. However, Zhang Guan first punched David Haye in the face, and then quickly dodged. Opened a David - Haye hit. David Haye's body slammed at this time, and was hit by Zhang Guan again, and then Zhang Guan punched David Haye to the ground with all his strength.

But it wasn't Zhang Guan's punch that Jim Lampley noticed, but his footsteps.

"This is... am I dazzled? I saw it wrong?" Jim Lapley stepped back from the video again to confirm what he saw.

"Butterfly!" Jim Lampley had the word in mind.

"Impossible!" The word also came to Jim Lampley's mind at the same time.

"Ali's butterfly walk is really similar to Ali's butterfly walk! It's already the 21st century, how can we still see the butterfly walk? This is impossible! It's a coincidence, yes, it must be a coincidence! Zhang Guan must be The blind cat ran into a dead mouse and used a butterfly-like gait. This is just a resemblance in appearance, how could it really be Ali’s butterfly gait?"

Jim Lapley felt a little distraught, he drank the coffee on the table, so he continued to stare at the computer screen, but in his mind, the footwork Zhang Guan used in that attack just now Has been lingering.

"Speaking of which, Ali's butterfly step movement frequency is relatively fast, and the range of footwork movement is also very large. Isn't it what Zhang Guan looks like now? Can Zhang Guan really use the butterfly step?"

The idea had just popped out of Jim Lampley's head, and Zhang Guan on the video attacked again, and then successfully hit David Haye.

Jim Lampley's eyes widened. He could be sure that the footwork used by Zhang Guan was the same as before, and it was simply a replica of the butterfly walk.

"It's not a coincidence. This is the second time Zhang Guan has used this kind of footwork, which means that Zhang Guan didn't use it by chance! It just so happens that such a difficult technique cannot be used twice in a row!" Jim- Lampley felt his thoughts suddenly become confused. A butterfly step that has disappeared for forty years and only exists in videos, and was regarded as the stunt of boxing champion Ali, unexpectedly appeared in front of his eyes again, and the user was not even counted as an amateur boxer!

Jim Lampley certainly knew what this meant. Before Muhammad Ali retired, countless boxers tried to learn the butterfly step. For forty years, this has never been interrupted, but there has never been a single person success. Butterfly Step's status in the boxing world is like the "Sunflower Canon" in Swordsman and the "Nine Yin Manual" in Legend of the Condor Heroes. Everyone desires to get it, but they can't get it.

"Zhang Guan used the butterfly step!" Jim Lampley knew that if his conclusion was announced, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire boxing world, and it would inevitably attract countless controversies. The butterfly step, which had disappeared for forty years, reappeared, and it still appeared on Zhang Guan's body. The saliva of boxing fans can drown Jim Lampley.

However, as a media person, Jim Lampley is not afraid of saliva. He even hopes that the audience will slobber as much as possible. The greater the controversy, the more people will discuss it, and the more people discuss it, Jim Lampley The more popular he is, he hopes that more than six billion people in the world will discuss this topic, so that he can become well-known.

Jim Lampley took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, then opened a document on the computer, and typed such a title

"Boxing champion Ali's stunt "butterfly step" reappears in the boxing world! "
