Chapter 272: Revealing one's weaknesses
The hot scene of this press conference was like a hurricane sweeping across the country.
Almost as soon as it ended, the media on the scene spread the news in the form of an emergency report.
Especially on the Internet, many people exclaimed after watching the press conference video.
The toughness and contempt shown by Du Sheng directly triggered a storm of public opinion.
Because even in the first two games, Du Sheng's conflicts were mostly verbal.
And now those foreigners have realized that this yellow man not only talks big, but also dares to do things.
This completely subverts the Western stereotype of Oriental people!
Unlike them who were shocked, the Chinese community was extremely excited.
There are many people who are domineering at home and many people who are powerful, but Du Sheng can be said to be the number one Asian who dares to be domineering to the outside world and has the ability.
As public opinion spread rapidly, the popularity of this K1 final skyrocketed again.
Many people who originally had little interest in the game expressed their desire to watch the live broadcast after seeing the pre-match conflict.
They all want to see whether this unique Asian boxer’s performance in the ring is really worthy of such arrogance!
Haters like Saburo Matsuda and Kenji Tsuruta were so angry that they left a message on the K1 forum:
"Damn, this Dogecoin is too arrogant!"
"Oriental coward, don't be a coward tonight!"
"How despicable! If it wasn't for the sudden attack, how could Juste have been caught by the wrist!"
"That's right! Orientals only know how to use despicable means and have no fighting spirit!"
"Damn it, if the tickets weren't sold out, I would fly to Hong Kong right now and beat the bastard up!"
"Just wait and see how he dies tonight!"
But on the K1 forum, there are not only Japanese people, but also Chinese students.
"Haha, you actually expect a foreigner who rules K1 to vent your anger. How shameless!"
"He's a good-for-nothing who's about to retire, and you guys really treat him like a piece of cake."
"No boxer made it to the semi-finals in the ten editions, and now Brother Sheng has made it. Are you so ashamed that you want to commit suicide?"
What made Saburo Matsuda and Kenji Tsuruta even more angry was that some of their own people actually defected:
"Woo, so handsome!"
"I really want to marry Shengjun. Being with a tough guy like him gives me a sense of security!"
"Du Jun is simply the man of my dreams! He is as handsome as a prince and as brave as a knight."
"Du Sheng-kun, I love you!"
With the addition of a group of Japanese girls, the K1 forum instantly turned into a sea of pink bubbles.
The original discussion on how to denounce Du Sheng suddenly turned into a confession meeting for female fans.
But one thing is certain, tonight's game will definitely be exciting.
For a time, there was a huge crowd buying tickets and ordering live broadcasts, and everyone was eager to witness this shocking showdown.
Du Sheng, who returned to the backstage, knew nothing about this for the time being.
Even if you know, you will still have some doubts.
After all, Japan's idol, the boxing star Masato, was defeated by him. How can this still gather fans?
But if you think about Japan's historical practices, you can understand a little bit.
The Japanese have a deep-seated desire to worship the strong.
The more powerful you are and the more you ravage them, the more they can't stop!
As for the fierce fight just now, will he be punished in the boxing world afterwards?
Du Sheng didn't take it to heart at all.
This is the huge difference between professional fighting and amateur fighting.
There are many rules in the amateur circle, and the minimum punishment is a penalty, while the maximum punishment is disqualification.
But in professional fighting, this kind of petty provocation is commonplace.
Just like at the WBC pre-match ceremony last year, when Oakland's boxing champion Vettori met his opponent, he was slapped in the face by the opponent.
As a result, the other party was just fined a little money, which was a small matter.
This also proves from the side that fighting is more like a business, and they even hope that boxers will tear each other apart and hype each other up in order to make higher profits.
That night, the K1 GP semi-finals finally arrived.
Du Sheng and others arrived at the entrance in a special car and saw hundreds of people surrounding them excitedly.
In front of the Xiangjiang Stadium, countless Chinese spectators wearing the five-star flag gathered and shouted loudly to cheer for Du Sheng.
The driver kept honking the horn but couldn't move forward.
The cheers spread like a torrent and could be heard clearly a kilometer away.
"Du Sheng, come on!"
"Fight for the Chinese and crush the cowards!"
"Defeat the four-time champion, and I will call you the strongest Asian on earth!"
"Don't lose, or the consequences will be disastrous..."
Hearing these passionate shouts, Du Sheng was deeply moved and waved out the window with a smile.
At that moment, there were even louder screams.
"Du Sheng, you have to fight for your dignity."
Wang Yaoyang sat next to Du Sheng, staring at the excited domestic audience outside the car window, and swallowed his saliva involuntarily:
"If we get knocked out, we might not even be able to step out of the door and be eaten alive!"
Du Sheng was too lazy to talk and closed his eyes to conserve his energy.
Zhang Haolong on the side sneered and said:
"What bullshit are you talking about!
Listen to the shouts outside: Sniper God, kill everything impossible! "
Huang Yao and Huang Ping, who came along to broaden their horizons this time, also nodded like fanatical believers!
There is no way their senior brother will lose.
After all, they bet all the money they earned as martial artists on the set of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Entering the Xiangjiang Stadium, the audience seats were packed and bustling. According to the organizer, all 52000 tickets have been sold out.
The average selling price of each ticket was one thousand yuan, and the total revenue was an astonishing 5200 million yuan.
This is a record-breaking number in the kickboxing world!
After all, this is not the final showdown.
In the last session, the finals were only as grand as this.
This time, both the attention and the popularity of the topic far exceeded expectations!
This fully demonstrates that the public opinion offensive at noon was very successful.
Many people came just for Du Sheng.
Especially when the show was about to start, many people were still outside the door frantically begging for tickets at high prices.
Even spending twice the price is worth it!
Among the audience present today, at least 80% support Du Sheng.
Many audiences or fans from the mainland and Hong Kong even brought cheering signs.
After all, Du Sheng is the first Asian boxer to fight in the three top boxing competitions.
At this historic moment, it is only natural to support.
In addition, Du Sheng won all the battles and achieved unprecedented results, allowing Asians to witness the super strength of Chinese boxers.
It is this unprecedented crushing that gives the public fanatical confidence.
Even if it's thousands of miles away, I'll come and broaden my horizons.
"Look over there, those neon puppets are still holding up banners. They simply don't know how to live or die!"
Zhang Haolong noticed something and pointed to the small cold area in the northwest with a smile.
Many people held banners with slogans such as "Sick Cat of East Asia" and "Shame of the East".
Some of them are white-skinned.
Du Sheng glanced at him, his face indifferent and without any reaction.
In addition to Du Sheng's fans, there were also some Japanese and Western audiences at the stadium.
It can be seen that they are all staunch opponents of Du Sheng.
Some are furious.
After all, the rise of Du Sheng, an Asian boxer, has torn open a gap in the Western-dominated fighting circle.
This is difficult to accept for many people who admire the West.
Their long-standing sense of superiority has made them at most accept an Asian person winning occasionally as a way of demonstrating their tolerance.
Because they know very well that such boxers are at best first- or second-rate and cannot reach the top.
But Du Sheng, an Asian, is different!
Not only are they extremely arrogant, but they also don't have the inferiority complex about their skin color and physique that other Asians have.
Slap them in the face again and again.
Therefore, they really don't want to see Du Sheng continue to show off his power.
You know, as the world's largest stand-up fighting event, K1's influence is not to be underestimated.
Compared with Asia, Europe and the United States pay more attention to this competition.
Especially in the beacon country, there are millions of paying viewers alone.
The ratings of the finals sometimes even surpass those of the UFC boxing championship.
As a four-time K1 champion, Just also has a large number of fighting fans in the West.
How can Du Sheng, a clown from a weak fighting country in East Asia, be compared with the four-time champion?
For example, Pacquiao from Luzon won the boxing championship two years ago. If he hadn't had the support of his godfather from the Lighthouse Country and his own servility, no one would have even looked at him in the eye.
Du Sheng's situation is similar, but the difference is that he has no intention of submitting to the West at all.
He even wants to step on their heads and bully them!
Who can bear this.
He must be crushed to death before he becomes famous!
In view of this, a number of experts and scholars have spoken out online, expressing that they are not optimistic about Du Sheng's prospects.
In order to please their masters, some commentators even brought up probability and trend predictions.
Although Du Sheng managed to make it to the semi-finals, in the previous two games, one of his opponents was a Japanese, and he himself had never made it to the quarter-finals of K1 GP.
The other one had physical problems when he came on the field, and his victory was purely due to luck and so on.
Some experts even took the initiative to reveal that the horizontal kung fu practiced by Du Sheng was hard qigong.
In reality, many people have practiced this kind of kung fu.
To put it simply, through special breathing and physical resistance training, the pain tolerance and cell density and strength of the trained parts are greatly enhanced.
However, this technique is not invulnerable.
First of all, the resistance of hard Qigong such as Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt will be greatly weakened during exercise and breathing.
This means that in these states, practitioners are more vulnerable to harm.
Secondly, although these hard Qigong can resist the attacks of not too sharp knives, once the attack method changes to dragging or scratching, the defense will be broken.
Last year, representatives of hard qigong participated in the competition, but were beaten terribly in the ring.
It is precisely because of the above weaknesses that they failed.
It is hard not to make netizens doubt their purpose when they reveal their shortcomings like this.
If Du Sheng failed at the critical moment of breathing, and Juster took the opportunity to hit him hard, his move would be 100% ruined.
More importantly, once these guides come out with their words, will the opponents really be stupid enough not to study the flaws of Du Sheng's hard Qigong?
Many experts even predicted that Du Sheng’s boxing career would most likely end here.
I just hope he doesn't lose too badly tonight.
