All-round Athlete

Chapter 764 Shield

Zhang Guan himself did not expect that Povetkin would admit defeat so readily, and willingly presented his "first defeat".

Of course, this kind of charity exhibition game is not an official game, and it cannot be counted as Povetkin's defeat in the true sense, and of course it will not be counted in Povetkin's results.

Many people even felt that all of this was pre-arranged before the game, with a set script, both sides were acting according to the script, performing a few symbolic rounds, and finally Povetkin voluntarily conceded, This can be regarded as completing what the guests should do.

People didn't care about the final victory or defeat, but the game was still very exciting to watch, even for an insider, it was a thrilling game.

Povetkin was also interviewed by the media.

"Zhang Guan is a very good athlete, and even a very good boxer. His skills are very good, and his judgment and adaptability to the situation are also top-notch. More importantly, he has a big weapon that can almost make him In an invincible position, that is the butterfly step! It is the butterfly step of Muhammad Ali! I even think that the vast majority of heavyweight boxers in active service are not Zhang Guan's opponent. Fortunately, Zhang Guan did not focus on Boxing, otherwise he would probably have dominated the entire boxing world!"

"About the butterfly step? I know that some people thought it was just a media hype before, and I have read similar comments. But after today's game, I can confirm that Zhang Guan used the butterfly step. I have not experienced Ali's At that time, I was still very confident in my judgment, I believed that my judgment was correct, that was really a butterfly step!"

Povetkin's interview immediately aroused heated discussions in the boxing world. Prior to this, only some boxing commentators or retired boxers claimed that Zhang Guan used the butterfly step, but it has not been proved whether it is true or not. In particular, Ali, the person involved, did not express anything, so the matter of the butterfly step was considered a media hype.

But Povetkin's voice is to prove to the world that Zhang Guan uses the butterfly step.

If other boxers say the same thing, people may not believe it, and think it is still a hype, but Povetkin said the same thing, but it is enough to convince many people, and even many professional boxers will believe Povetkin What Witkin said.

The title of Olympic champion and world champion has made Povetkin a recognized technical boxer. Some people even think that Povetkin is comparable to Klitschko Jr. in terms of boxing skills, which makes what Povetkin said even stronger. Be professional and persuasive.

It's like people will believe what experts say, but in the field of science, ordinary experts will believe the judgment of high-level experts. If the professional judgment of the Nobel Prize winner is reached, it is almost equivalent to a theorem in the hearts of ordinary people. The presence. In professional boxing, Povetkin is at the level of a Nobel Prize winner, or even more advanced. He said that Zhang Guan used the butterfly step, as if Einstein was describing a high school physics law. Speaking out, it represents the truth.

All of a sudden, Zhang Guan's "butterfly step" once again attracted the attention of the media and discussions among boxing fans.

...

After Zhuge Wenbo knocked on the door, he hurried in, and when he saw Zhang Guan, he immediately said loudly: "Zhang Guan, is there any trouble at your door?"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Guan asked a little irritably.

"It's not because of your butterfly walk!" Zhuge Wenbo pulled a chair and sat down.

"Butterfly walk again? Haven't I already been interviewed by the media? The media's manuscript has already been sent out, and many portal websites have also reprinted it. I saw it yesterday. Why are there still reporters holding on?" Zhang Guan asked.

These days, many media have come to interview Zhang Guan. These people are all for the "Butterfly Walk", including domestic media and foreign media. All of this is of course thanks to Povetkin. He personally proved that Zhang Guan used the butterfly walk, which naturally attracted the media.

Zhang Guan didn't have so much time to respond one by one, so he picked a few familiar media and accepted the interview. The news media are all three-minute hot. Originally, this matter has gradually subsided, but Zhuge Wenbo did not expect that Zhuge Wenbo brought new news.

"This time it's not the media, it's the boxers. They want to fight you, and they say they want to see your 'butterfly walk'! The relevant letters have already been sent to me." Zhuge Wenbo said .

"Who is so self-inflicted? Wait, you said 'they'? What do you mean? There is more than one person?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Of course there is more than one, let me tell you who it is." Zhuge Wenbo took out a list from his pocket, and then said: "There is Sykes, an American boxer nicknamed 'Bull', his current record It is 25 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss; 'Tiger' Thompson, the current record is 31 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss; 'Rock' Raman, the current record is 45 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses; 'Fastman' Chambers, the current record is 35 wins and 1 Draw 1 loss..."

Zhuge Wenbo listed seven or eight people in a row, many of them were names that Zhang Guan had never heard of, and judging from their records, almost all of them were well-known boxers.

The World Boxing Association has regulations on the protection of boxers. Even if the boxer is unscathed after the game, he must rest for a period of time, at least half a month, and some boxers who are injured in the game , The mandatory rest period may even last as long as half a year, so boxers with relatively average fighting ability cannot fight two or three games a year. Under normal circumstances, it takes almost five or six years for a boxer to play thirty games. As a professional boxer, if he fights for five or six years and only loses one game, he can be considered a "quasi-champion" even if he is not a boxing champion.

But now, such a large group of "boxing champions" or "quasi-boxing champions" all come to Zhang Guan to see the butterfly step, and they all want to play a game with Zhang Guan. A very troublesome thing.

Zhang Guan is not worried that he will not be able to beat them. He has enough confidence to defeat these "bulls", "tigers", "rocks" and "quick men", but Zhang Guan does not have so much energy to accept their challenges. Besides, Zhang Guan himself is not a militant, as long as he plays basketball, football, or throws two tennis rackets, that's all. This kind of sports that thinks about ways to beat people and think of ways to avoid being beaten is really not in line with Zhang Guan. crown preferences.

"Reject all of them?" Zhang Guan immediately shook his head, rejecting this idea. For this kind of thing, a simple and rude rejection is obviously a bad way of doing things. Playing a game is not a matter of principle. Saying "no" to everyone may be the solution to the problem, but whether it is from the perspective of daily dealings with people or professional public relations, this is definitely not the best solution.

"All agree, and then beat them into dogs one by one?" Zhang Guan frowned. This is a solution. Since they want to learn the butterfly walk, they should come one by one and wait for a meal. Beat it, and be honest. However, for Zhang Guan, this is probably a last resort.

"Why don't you just agree to a few of them and just hit me up?" Zhang Guan immediately felt that this was inappropriate. It's not a very easy thing to agree to who you don't agree to. This is not a treat for guests and wedding wine. Anyone who sends out the invitation is a guest. If you agree to the "bull" but not to the "tiger", you are offending the "tiger". "Quick Man". What's more, even if it's a treat to drink, it doesn't necessarily cover everything. Isn't it because the queen mother's peach feast didn't invite Monkey King, and finally caused a big mess!

Zhang Guan pondered for a long time, and found that he really had no good solution, so he asked, "How will our PR decide to deal with it?"

"The best solution given by the PR side is to find a shield as much as possible." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Shield? What do you mean?" Zhang Guan asked.

"That is to find a reasonable excuse to shirk it." Zhuge Wenbo explained.

"It's not easy, or I will report to the men's basketball team next week, and go to the Turkish Men's Basketball World Championship!" Zhang Guan said immediately.

"What about after the Men's Basketball World Championships? What are you going to use as a shield?" Zhuge Wenbo asked with a smile.

"After the Men's Basketball World Championships, there will be the Asian Games." Zhang Guan continued.

"What about after the Asian Games?" Zhuge Wenbo sighed, and continued, "Don't forget about Chagayev. When you were driving an F1 car last year, he was going to fight you. The Olympic Games were used as an excuse, didn’t you still not push it over? The Winter Olympics just ended on your side, and they came to your door again! In the end, you still have to agree. Although Chagayev was injured and did not come, but Bo Vitkin is here!"

Zhuge Wenbo said this, leaned on the back of the chair, and continued: "A lesson learned from the past! You must know that people who can become professional boxers are very persistent, or stubborn, not the kind that you just delay Will back down!"

"It's true, if you are that kind of lazy person, you can't become a professional boxer. It's the same in life. Those who like to hit people are often more stubborn and unwilling to compromise." Zhang Guan shrugged, Then he asked: "So the public relations side gave me this bad idea?"

"The public relations side wants you to find a reasonable excuse as a shield, not just an excuse." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "The plan proposed by the public relations side is to find a top boxer as your shield. That is, Let you make an appointment with this top boxer, so that other challengers can only wait first, as long as you and this well-known boxer do not fight for a day, they will have to wait. "

"Isn't that still procrastinating? What's the difference between this and what I said about using the Men's Basketball World Championships as a shield?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Of course there is a difference, and the difference is still very big. Let me give you an example, such as the battle of the century between Tyson and Holyfield. The two sides played two games in two years, and they did not play other games during the period. Because none of the other boxers challenged the duo because they were not at the same level. During the time they were preparing for the fight, if someone wanted to challenge Tyson, he had to be at least Holyfield's level. Similarly, if someone If he wants to challenge Holyfield, he must be a boxer of Tyson's level. If he does not have that level but challenges, he will become a laughingstock." Zhuge Wenbo explained.

Zhang Guan nodded to express his understanding. It was like a lion and a tiger fighting. Those who could intervene were beasts like black bears, like jackals and foxes. Even if they wanted to get a share, they didn't have the strength. Thinking of this, Zhang Guan said: "Tyson and Holyfield's level of boxers? How many were there in that era? Wouldn't that mean the two of them were playing together!"

"There was also someone who intervened at the time, and that was your coach Lewis. During the two fights between Tyson and Holyfield, Lewis once challenged Tyson, but was rejected by Tyson. In fact, in that era, except for Tyson and Holyfield Besides Field, only Lewis can reach that level." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "So what you have to do is find a top boxer to play a scene with you."

"Who is more suitable to find?" Zhang Guan continued to ask.

"The most suitable candidate must be Klitschko!" Zhuge Wenbo continued: "If Klitschko can cooperate with you in a scene, that would be the best. The super boxing world is a dominance level, if you make an appointment to fight, other boxers will definitely make way for Klitschko Jr., I believe no boxer will steal Klitschko Jr.'s limelight."

"Then if we do this, will it affect Klitschko?" Zhang Guan immediately asked.

"No, you're not a professional boxer. Your fight with Klitschko is at most an exhibition match. It's the same as a commercial performance with a singer. The mandatory rest regulations of the Boxing Association will not affect the exhibition match. So the most important thing is whether Klitschko is willing to help. If you think this plan is feasible, I will contact Klitschko's agent immediately." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Okay, just do as you said. I hope Klitschko will give me face." Zhang Guan said.

...

Ukraine.

"Zhang Guan wants to use me as a shield?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Klitschko's face.

"Vladimir, I think we might as well agree to Zhang Guan. We have nothing to lose, at most we can only send a press release to respond, but we can gain a friend. One more friend is always good, and Zhang Guan is the world's leader after all. The greatest athlete in the world, give him face, and he will definitely be rewarded in the future." The agent said.

"What can he give me in return?" Klitschko curled his lips, and then said: "I heard that he can also perform Ali's butterfly step? Huh! What is the butterfly step! Muhammad Ali? The greatest boxing champion ever ? That is not born in the same era as me! I will surpass Ali sooner or later, and I will become the greatest boxing champion ever!"

Having said this, Klitschko turned his head and said to his agent: "Reject them, I don't want to fight with him! If the butterfly step is really that powerful, then let him meet those challengers !"
