Chapter 198 Battle
"We know that next you will fight Luke Jackson, the Australian boxer, who is a strong contender for medals at this World Championships. Are you confident of defeating him when you meet such an opponent?" Raphael asked.
Tang Hao nodded and said, "Of course, my goal is to get the Olympic ticket. No matter who the opponent I faced before, I will defeat him."
Hearing Tang Hao's confident and unprideful answer, Raphael smiled and asked, "We all know that besides being a boxer, you are also an excellent swimmer, so I have a doubt, why do you still participate in boxing after achieving such excellent results in swimming?"
After saying that, maybe she thought the question was a bit too much, she added: "I'm just curious because no athlete could have been at the top of the world in both sports before."
"He is also an archery champion." At this moment, Zhang Zhilei also finished training. When he heard Raphael ask about this, he said with a smile.
Raphael was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Hao in surprise.
Tang Hao nodded and then said, "It's just an intercontinental champion."
"Oh, my Allah, how did you do it?" Raphael could not control his ruthlessness for a moment after seeing Tang Hao nodding. In her opinion, it was shocked enough to participate in two projects at the same time and achieve results. Unexpectedly, Tang Hao was actually an intercontinental champion of archery. This is really incredible!
"Your question just now." Tang Hao pulled Raphael back to his senses from his shock and said, "Actually, I had already participated in boxing competitions before I started participating in swimming competitions. For me, as long as time allows, I will participate in multiple events as much as possible, because I enjoy the feeling of winning the championship."
"I enjoyed the feeling after winning the championship..." After hearing the reasons Tang Hao said, a look of admiration rose on Raphael's face. He felt that the Chinese man in front of him was completely different from the Chinese people he had contacted before. He clearly sounded very arrogant words, but he sounded more confident.
"Of course, I also hope that I can win more glory for the country." Tang Hao added when he saw Raphael's expression change.
"Of course, I think this is something every athlete wants to do." Raphael's face turned slightly red at this moment.
After that, Raphael asked a few more questions about game preparations, and Tang Hao had nothing to hide, and he told them all.
As the interview progressed, Raphael's face became redder and redder. Although the Chinese in front of him looked not particularly handsome, he had an indescribable charm.
When the interview ended, the photographer behind put down the camera. She mustered up the courage, took a step forward, and said with a blushing face: "Tang, do you have time tonight? If possible, I think of the nearby tea restaurant, and I hope to know more about you."
Hearing Raphael's whisper, and seeing the red face of the Azerbaijani girl in front of him, he soon knew what the reporter was thinking. After sighing in his heart, he felt that his charm was so great, and then said with a hint of apology: "Our boxing team still has training tonight, so I'm sorry, thank you very much for your invitation."
Hearing Tang Hao's answer, Raphael showed a faint disappointment on his face, but hearing that Tang Hao was doing it for training, she didn't feel angry, but said with a smile: "Then, I wish you good performance in the afternoon game, and I also hope you can go further in the World Championships."
"Thank you." Tang Hao nodded to Raphael with a smile.
When Raphael left, the interview ended.
"What, what am I hinting at when Raphael just now?" Zhang Zhilei was not angry about Raphael's neglect of her, but said meaningfully.
"What does it imply?"
"Tsk tsk, young people, opportunities are not often available. Sometimes you have to know how to grasp them when they come!" Zhang Zhilei said jokingly.
"I'm not that casual."
"Are you a little bit a human?"
"Ahem, I didn't expect you to be like this Zhang Zhilei. However, I am only 18 years old and I am still a pure boy."
"Okay, okay, I know you are innocent, go and have something to eat." Zhang Zhilei teased Tang Hao, and then pulled Tang Hao out.
After the 56 kg preliminaries were almost done in the afternoon, the 60 kg preliminaries were followed.
With the start of the 60kg competition, the number of spectators in the venue has increased a lot, and this is the case with boxing competitions. The higher the heavyweight competition, the more spectators it is.
Tang Hao watched the previous few games, and a player named Eschenko successfully attracted his attention.
This player from Ukraine has excellent overall strength, and has fierce punches and quick reactions. In the end, he took only 2 rounds to win the opponent.
And it happened that this player drew No. 5 in the draw, which means that if Tang reached the next round, this person would be his opponent.
To put it further, because the top ten heavyweights have been qualified for the Olympics, Tang Hao must defeat Eschenko if he wants to get this qualification.
Originally, most people would feel guilty when they see their opponents in the next round so strong, but Tang Hao was excited.
This is the game he wants.
But before that, he must defeat the Australian boxer.
When there was one round left in front of him, Tang Hao got up and went to the locker room to change his clothes.
After he changed, it was his turn to play after a while.
This is the speed of amateur boxing, with a total of four rounds, and the game is only ten minutes long.
The appearance of Tang Hao and Luke Jackson immediately made the audience excited.
The finale match, coupled with the good strength of both sides, is one of the games worth looking forward to in the first day's preliminary match.
After the players appeared, the commentator on the sidelines also immediately began to follow up on the commentary.
"Tang Hao and Luke Jackson are both players with certain popularity. Of course, the former is not in the boxing ring, but in the swimming ring. We all know that at the World Swimming Championships not long ago, this boxer won 6 gold medals, which can be said to be famous in one battle, while his opponent is the silver medal winner of this year's World Youth Championship and a strong contender for medals in this year's World Championships. Such a group of duels are full of highlights."
"During the pre-match interview, Luke described the Chinese boxer as a jumping fly, which I don't think is a polite title."
"Indeed, this is not polite, but to be honest, as a strong contender for the medals of this competition, he said this more like an alternative championship declaration. To be honest, I can't imagine that anyone else in Chinese boxing can be on the table besides Zou. It is really unheard of Tang Hao to be able to come to the World Championships."
