Chapter 709 What kind of footwork is this?

On August 9th, the day when Zhang Guan and David Haye played.

On the weekend, this game also attracted a lot of spectators to watch the game live.

Sebastian looked at the audience seats that were already full, and felt a little relieved in his heart. With so many spectators, at least a lot of tickets would be sold. It's a drop in the bucket at all, but it's better than nothing.

The game hasn't started yet, but the audience has already started talking.

"How many rounds do you think 'Emperor Haiye' can knock down Zhang Guan?"

"I think within three rounds! After all, David Haye is the strongest heavyweight boxer in our UK. I even think that even compared to Klitschko Jr., David Haye is not far behind."

"Didn't David Haye say before the game that if you give him two minutes, he can knock down Zhang Guan."

"Do you believe what the boxer said before the match? I watched the match between Zhang Guan and Tyson Fury before. Zhang Guan scored very nimbly and he was very good at dodging, so I think Zhang Guan must Can survive the first two rounds."

"Listen to you, you must have bought David Haye to KO Zhang Guan within three rounds, right?" The person next to him immediately asked.

"Hehe, you guessed it right. I did buy three rounds, how about you?" the man asked back.

"I only bought the outcome." The person next to him nodded and said.

"In that case, the odds are very low. After all, the whole of Britain knows that David Haye will definitely win this game."

"Just treat it as a welfare lottery, something is better than nothing." The man said with a smile.

...

Zhang Guan once again stood on the boxing ring of the competition. The difference from the last time was that this time, the organizer changed to a bigger venue, with more spectators around and more lights shining on the ring.

But the same as the last game, the audience's hostility towards him was still the same, even more serious than the last game.

"Emperor Haye, blow him up! Blow up that Chinese guy!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Guan had a feeling of déjà vu. He looked opposite, and a black man who was about the same height as him was waiting fiercely for him.

This black man is David Haye, nicknamed "King Haye" David Haye.

David Haye has dreadlocks on his head. For a black man, this hairstyle is not unsuitable, but there are obviously only a handful of boxers with long hair like this.

The color of his boxing gloves is red and blue, which is the color of the Union Jack, and the front of his shorts is also printed with a large Union Jack flag. Obviously, he wants to express to the audience through this dress that this In this game, he is fighting for his country.

At this time, David Haye kept waving his arms towards the surrounding audience, which also attracted bursts of wild cheers from the scene. Obviously, this "Emperor Haye" has a very high popularity in the UK.

David Haye didn't say a bunch of useless nonsense before the game like Tyson Foley. Obviously, as a boxing champion, he is much more mature than the young Tyson Fury, and he doesn't bother to use this This way to tease the opponent, but this makes Zhang Guan more vigilant.

The referee looked at his watch, then let everyone who had nothing to do with him leave the ring, called the two fighters to the middle of the ring, separated them with his hands, and asked the two fighters if they were ready. After the reply, he signaled that the game can start.

"Boom!" The bell rang for the start of the match, and the next moment, enthusiastic shouts from the audience sounded around the boxing ring.

"Haye, come on!"

"Rush over, hit him, hit him!"

"Beat him, go up and beat him!"

The surrounding audience kept shouting, which instantly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

However, none of the two boxers on the ring launched an attack immediately. Whether it was Zhang Guan or David Haye, they both chose to wander at the beginning of the game. The opponent moves forward a little, and you both retreat a little; the opponent moves back a little, and you move forward; the opponent moves to the left, and you turn your body accordingly... Both of them are adjusting their steps, shaking their arms occasionally, but they haven't punched. , not even a jab attempt.

"David Haye seemed very cautious. He chose a more conservative style of play at the beginning. He didn't attack at the beginning. It seems that he has forgotten what he said not long ago, it takes two minutes to knock down Zhang Guan! "The narrator said.

If Zhang Guan played conservatively at the beginning of the game, people would understand it. After all, everyone felt that Zhang Guan was the weaker side and should focus on defensive counterattacks instead of forcing an attack. But in the current situation on the court, not only Zhang Guan chose to be conservative, but even David Haye, who is in a strong position, also chose to be conservative.

After all, David Haye is an unexpectedly rich boxing champion. The so-called lion beats the rabbit. Even in the face of Zhang Guan, a layman, David Haye did not rush for success, but chose to be on the safe side.

As a boxer promoted from a sub-heavyweight, David Haye's footwork is very flexible in the heavyweight class. It can even be said that among the well-known heavyweight boxing champions, David Haye's footwork is the best. most flexible. But compared with Zhang Guan, a sprinter, David Haye looks clumsy.

"Sure enough, just like in the video, Zhang Guan's footwork is more flexible than mine. If I only use footwork, I can't gain the upper hand at all." David Haye thought of this, and there were some small movements in his hands.

These small moves are mainly fake moves. Sometimes David Haye will actually punch, but halfway through the punch, David Haye retracts it. Obviously this is testing Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan was not idle either. While David Haye was testing himself, Zhang Guan was also testing David Haye. It can be said that in the first round, the two of them kept moving, at most they threw one or two jabs, and they were cautiously guarding against each other while punching.

On the sidelines, Lewis nodded silently.

"David Haye played very steadily at the beginning. He is indeed an experienced boxer. I thought he would choose a fast attack at the beginning of the game. I didn't expect him to choose this kind of steady temptation. He is more than In the past two years, I have indeed matured a lot.”

Lewis looked at his watch. At this time, there were less than 20 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

...

In the first round, the two sides have been probing, which obviously made the audience feel unacceptable. Originally, many people hoped that David Haye could quickly knock down Zhang Guan, but they did not expect that in the first round, David -Haye didn't have a decent offense at all.

Someone has already started booing, this booing is for David Haye, and some viewers with poor quality even started to yell.

David Haye kept staring at Zhang Guan with a calm look.

"There are more than ten seconds left in the first round. For some inexperienced boxers, they will relax their vigilance at the last moment of a round! I will wait until the last ten seconds before launching an attack. "David Haye thought of this, but instead retreated a little bit, making a defensive move.

Seeing David Haye actually made a defensive move, the audience booed again.

However, this is actually David Haye's tactic, retreating one after another and making defensive moves, making Zhang Guan mistakenly think that he will drag the first round of the game to the end instead of launching an attack in the last ten seconds. This allows Zhang Guan to relax his vigilance, and David Haye's raid can actually work wonders.

Zhang Guan is also observing David Haye calmly.

"The first round is about to end. David Haye chose to retreat. Is he going to end the first round like this? I thought he would choose to attack in the first round as he said before the game. Woolen cloth."

Zhang Guan was thinking, but David Haye in front of him suddenly moved. He came to Zhang Guan's approach with a sprint step, and then punched fiercely.

"Oh oh oh oh!" There was a burst of exclamation from all around. People did not expect David Haye to attack suddenly at the last moment of the first round. Obviously, most people on the scene did not react to this.

Seeing that Zhang Guan didn't do anything, David Haye was overjoyed.

"Zhang Guanzhong hit the trick, hit it!"

However, at this moment, Zhang Guan's body suddenly retreated at an oblique angle.

"Zhang Guan got out of the way! The speed is so fast!" David Haye could feel the empty touch from the boxing gloves, and he knew that he did not hit Zhang Guan.

However, before David Haye had time to be frustrated, Zhang Guan took a left circle step to the right side of David Haye's body, and took advantage of the opportunity with a left uppercut, hitting David Haye directly.

"Not good!" David Haye immediately leaned back to dodge, but Zhang Guan also discovered David Haye's intention to dodge, he lowered his fist, and this punch hit David Haye hard. on the ribs.

At the same time, David Haye retreated fiercely, but this punch still hit him, but it was precisely because of this sudden retreat that he gained a space to defend, making Zhang Guan's next first The two punches were perfectly dodged by David Haye.

Now that David Haye was prepared, Zhang Guan did not continue to attack. He also chose a defensive action and waited for the first round to run out.

"So strong body control and explosive power! My fist is fast enough. I thought this blow could hit him, but I didn't expect him to be able to dodge it. The muscle reaction speed of a sprinter really shouldn't be underestimated. See From the level of attack just now, it is unlikely to hit Zhang Guan directly, I need to be faster and get closer to Zhang Guan."

As David Haye thought to himself, the bell rang for the end of the first round.

The referee decisively ran between the two and signaled for the game to stop, and the two returned to their respective corners consciously.

David Haye rubbed the place where he was hit by Zhang Guan. He knew that he was hit this time. Although he didn't cause any substantial damage to him, he lost the number of copies. Fortunately, the professional boxing competition What matters is the total points. If you lose one or two points in a round of competition, there are still many opportunities to get it back.

"David, you played too conservatively just now. Throughout the first round, you basically didn't launch any offense and kept testing Zhang Guan. You have to remember that you are the side with superior strength, so all you have to do is Play to your advantage, you have to attack, you have to keep attacking, instead of confronting Zhang Guan!" The coach's voice sounded in David Haye's ear.

"Attack? I don't know anything about Zhang Guan, so I kept testing him. I was getting familiar with his style of play. However, I was still hit. I still underestimated him. Although the strength of his fist is average, but His speed and reaction are really fast. Didn’t you see? The punch I just had was so sudden that he dodged it.” David Haye complained.

"So you have to chase him! A sprinter's reaction speed is much faster than a boxer's. Don't forget that Zhang Guan is the fastest man in the world. If he wants to retreat, the entire boxing world No one can catch up to him! That's why you have to keep attacking, compress his retreat space, use your experience to push Zhang Guan to a corner, and when he has no way to retreat, you have to take your lead Fist." The coach continued.

On the other side, Lewis is also instructing Zhang Guan.

"David Haye's footsteps are indeed very flexible. I wanted to continue attacking just now, but he quickly dodged it." Zhang Guan said.

"If your fist has the strength of Tyson, I think you can kill him in a short time." Lewis continued: "David Haye's footsteps are indeed very flexible, but you have to be more flexible than him. , that is to say, his strengths have turned into weaknesses in front of you, so in the next round, I suggest you give full play to your strengths as much as possible, and use your footwork to put pressure on David Haye. You can use more Jab, don't worry about missing it, go forward and give him a punch quickly, then back away immediately, and when he approaches you, try to counter with some swinging punches. Also be careful not to go straight in and out, your footsteps More flexibility, adding some angles to the footwork, will have a better effect!"

The 1-minute break was very short. As soon as Lewis finished speaking, the referee announced the start of the second round.

"Footsteps, use your footsteps!" Lewis shouted from the side, this voice not only fell into the ears of Zhang Guan, but also into the ears of David Haye.

"Footsteps? What do you mean? Don't worry, let's push him to the corner first." David Haye looked at Zhang Guan, who was opposite, but found that Zhang Guan was moving faster than before.

"Huh?" This scene made David Haye hesitate, and he began to think about how to force Zhang Guan into the corner, and it was at this moment that Zhang Guan took the lead in launching the offensive.

Sliding forward with a jab is a very common offensive method. However, when Zhang Guan uses it, it means the word "speed". Even David Haye can detect that Zhang Guan It is necessary to launch an attack, but the speed of Zhang Guan's footsteps still makes it difficult for David Haye to adapt.

"Here we come!" David Haye was about to lean back to dodge, but found that Zhang Guan's forward sliding step this time did not simply use standard boxing footwork, but had a certain inclination angle. , and this angle of inclination also caused the inclination of Zhang Guan's attack angle.

"There is an angle, you can't dodge like this!" David Haye realized this, but he was still half a beat too late, Zhang Guan's fist had already hit his shoulder. This part is not a very lethal part, but it will still be counted as an effective hit, which means that David Haye has lost another point.

At the same time, David Haye took a step back and quickly avoided Zhang Guan's attack range, but he had no time to think about his loss. Zhang Guan looked like he was chasing after him, and once again broke close to him.

"Zhang Guan is catching up! Haven't you heard of Qiong Kou Mo chasing? This is an opportunity!" David Haye suddenly threw a straight punch with his left hand.

The straight left hand is the type of boxing that David Haye is best at, and it is also the essence of his punching technique. His straight left fist is not only fast, but also very powerful. More importantly, his straight left fist is always so sudden.

"Go to hell!" David Haye yelled in his heart.

However, in front of his eyes, Zhang Guan suddenly disappeared into his attack range like a phantom.

"Missed, he dodged again, and the figure disappeared in a flash. What kind of footwork is this?"
