Chapter 82: A Strong Opponent (2000)
The match between Lu Yun and Okamoto Naiya is behind Tang Hao and Gonzalez.
After a short rest and changing his clothes, Tang Hao sat next to Qin Hailong and became an assistant coach.
In Asian boxing, in heavyweight competitions, Kassekstan is undoubtedly the most powerful existence, and in lightweight and even lower-weight competitions, the island country undoubtedly has an absolute dominance.
To put it bluntly, this time, Okamoto Naiya was the only one in the selection competition. It was not that there was no one in the island country, but because in most competitions, they had already won enough places. Okamoto Naiya, who was only 17 years old, was more like a potential stock, but even so, he successfully reached the semi-finals and was quite hopeful to win a championship at this level.
The most well-known thing about island countries is their karate. Island countries boxing evolved from karate, and its characteristics are fast and accurate, as well as the use of joints such as elbows, which are very aggressive.
Such characteristics are destined to be a wonderful showdown against Lu Yun's full offensive style.
"It's only one game away." Tang Hao said to Lu Yun before Lu Yun came on the court.
Lu Yun nodded vigorously. He wanted to fulfill his agreement to meet with Tang Hao in the final, and the last game was almost the moment.
After Okamoto Nakamoto also came on stage, he bowed to Lu Yun very politely, and then made a gesture to fight.
After explaining the matters to both sides to pay attention to during the game, the referee then signaled the start of the game. After the two of them fists, they took a step back.
Lu Yun took the lead in launching an attack. His current style of play is becoming more and more mature, just to devote his whole body to the offense to defeat his opponent.
Okamoto Naka did not attack immediately, but quickly turned to defense, using dodging and elbow blocking to continuously resist Lu Yun's attack.
It has to be said that this choice is the wisest way to do it. His flexible figure and his reinforced elbow make him not at a disadvantage even in the defensive state.
Lu Yun's first round of offense did not gain any benefits.
Seeing this, Tang Hao's face became solemn.
This Okamoto Naiya's strength is stronger than Lu Yun.
After Lu Yun's combination punches were finished, his movements were not stopped, so he was ready to follow the second combination punch.
But at this moment, Okamoto Naka suddenly gave up his defensive posture and then punched it out with a punch.
Lu Yun was attacking with all his might at this time, and Okamoto Naiya's punch was very fast. He had no time to dodge. After gritting his teeth, he followed with a heavy punch to Okamoto Naiya.
This is a style of playing that both sides suffer, which fully interprets Lu Yun’s current boxing characteristics. In the previous game with Ivanov, it was this style of playing that allowed him to win the game.
However, what Lu Yun and the audience did not expect was that Okamoto Naka was also facing the oncoming heavy punch and did not mean to retreat. He just flashed his head slightly to avoid being hit by the front, while his swing punch accelerated and blasted out.
"Bang!"
Okamoto Daiya's punch hit Lu Yun's right cheek first.
Lu Yun was smashed hard and suddenly tilted to the left.
The next second, Lu Yun's fist also hit Okamoto Uchiya.
However, because Okamoto Nakamoto had already dodged, his punch hit the latter's helmet more.
An uproar sounded from the audience on the sidelines.
Chinese people never lack highlights when fighting islanders, but it is obvious that Okamoto Nakamoto also has an advantage in the duel with Lu Yun.
Lu Yun also reacted quickly. After being hit, he quickly opened the distance and shook his head hard.
At this moment, Okamoto did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Instead, after Lu Yun was a little more awake, he followed him with a very provocative action.
He stretched out his right hand, his palm facing up, and connected his fists together, making a hooking move inward.
A very provocative action!
This action immediately attracted boos from the audience.
Lu Yun also had his eyes red immediately, and then rushed forward suddenly.
When Tang Hao saw this scene, his brow frowned suddenly.
In Asia, South Korea and island countries can be said to be the most ostentatious countries, but the two countries have different ways of ostentatious. The former is like a madman, and they like to use their big mouths to show their strength. For example, the invincible universe of the Republic of Korea is also due to this. Island countries, in comparison, are more restrained ostentatious, just like in front of them.
And it is obviously purposeful.
After Lu Yun was angry, he launched a storm-like attack like a mad cow.
Okamoto Nakamoto also reacted quickly and immediately entered the defense.
Lu Yun is the kind of explosive player, and Okamoto Nakaki could hardly raise his head in this round of attack.
The audience also became extremely passionate with Lu Yun's attack, and the shouts of "ko!" resounded throughout the boxing gym.
However, Tang Hao's brows became tighter and tighter at this time.
Although Lu Yun had the upper hand and even had a ko trend, Okamoto's defensive posture did not change. All he lost was his temporary momentum, and even Lu Yun did not get the points.
Sure enough, when Lu Yun's storm attack ended, Okamoto's counterattack immediately started.
With one uppercut and one swing, there was not much movement, but it all hit Lu Yun's effective part.
It is obvious that he is using Lu Yun's emotional score and it worked successfully.
At the end of the first round, Okamoto did not have ko Lu Yun, but he successfully gained an advantage in points.
"Stay the fight, don't worry, this is a very difficult opponent, you must keep the rhythm." Qin Hailong kept saying to Lu Yun next to him.
Lu Yun kept nodding, sweat oozing out along his forehead, and his whole body seemed to have just crawled out of the water, obviously exhausting energy.
Tang Hao didn't know what to say at this time.
"I will reach the final." Before he was about to go on the court, Lu Yun held his breath and suddenly turned to Tang Hao and said.
Hao Tang paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "I believe in you."
After Lu Yun came on the field, he launched a more fierce attack, completely looking desperate.
But his opponent, Okamoto Nakamoto, could never be knocked down.
Tang Hao looked at the scene in front of him, suddenly stood up from his seat, and said to Qin Hailong: "I'll go to the bathroom."
Walking from the boxing ring to the toilet, he instinctively reached out to his pocket to get a cigarette, but when he touched it, he remembered that he was no longer the person in his thirties.
"Come." At this moment, someone in the toilet saw his movements and handed him a cigarette.
Tang Hao was about to say that he didn't smoke, but the man said, "Aren't you Tang Hao who played the semi-finals ahead? Why are you smoking at a young age?"
Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and couldn't help but look at the person in front of him.
He is about thirty years old, with a national face and looks like a person working in the government.
This was obviously an old cigarette gun, and it was obvious from the action. He did not deliberately pretend to behave and took the cigarette with the flow.
