Chapter 1286: The Pirates return (16)
Translator: 549690339
When the broken Gong shouted the words “Vikings,” the three spectating players on the rope net immediately focused their attention.
Two seconds later, a 1.9-meter tall, burly, bald man walked out of the crowd and into the ring.
A few minutes ago, when the audience was still betting, the “defending champion” had already taken off his shirt, tied his boxing gloves, and waited.
“Good luck! Viking!”
“You can definitely win, Yingluo.”!!
“Viking, we support you!”
And the champion’s supporters … Or rather, the gamblers who had bet on him … Could not wait to start cheering for him.
“Gentlemen …” The man with the broken Gong voice struck while the iron was hot. After a pause, he said,”next up … Let’s welcome this week’s challenger … Who is also the winner of last week’s warm-up match, the one-fight one-win winner … Mirror Shield!”
Before his voice died away, another slightly skinnier Viking but still considerably tall and brawny entered the arena.
When this person stepped into the ring, there were not many supporters. On the contrary, there were some boos.
It was obvious that no one thought highly of this shield guy, and not many people bet on him.
“The two of you, please take a few steps forward …” Unlike the atmosphere before the first match, the two boxers in the “main match” were quite calm and did not provoke each other at all. Therefore, the man with the broken Gong voice called them to the center of the ring and announced,”you know the rules, right?”
Even though he said that, he still repeated the five rules. It was not for anything else … But because it was indeed very important.
After he finished speaking, he continued with the broken Gong voice,””You two … Is there anything you don’t understand?”
“Ha … I’ve heard that 45 times already, what do you think?” The Viking’s voice was very much in line with his image, deep and powerful.
“No, I didn ‘t,” The mirror Shield only replied with two words, and his voice was as weak as his answer.
“Okay …” The man with the broken Gong continued,”then … I announce … Today’s second match …” At this point, he stepped out of the ring.”The championship battle between the ‘Vikings’ and the ‘shield and mirror’… Begins now!”

The moment the announcement was made, the two contestants moved.
However, they did not move forward. On the contrary … They actually took two steps back at the same time.
“I see … The two guys in the second round are on a completely different level compared to the first round.” When Feng bujue saw this, he mumbled without thinking.
“Because they are more cautious?” Ambitionist said.
“No… This isn’t being cautious.” At this moment, snow answered before brother Jue could.”It’s not some ‘expert’s intuition’. It’s just a simple ‘strategy’.”
“Yu Long … Your reaction is still slow.” Feng bujue then turned to ambitionist and said,”didn’t you hear it just now? That ‘Viking’ had already defended his title dozens of times. In other words … He had already fought dozens of matches on deck in front of everyone. And that ‘Mirror Shield’… He was the winner of the warm-up match of the last deck boxing match, which means that he had at least ‘one’ boxing match in public. ”
“Oh …” Ambitionist immediately understood what she meant.”Both of them … Have watched each other’s matches. Therefore, they made the decision to’ keep a distance ‘from each other at the start of the match based on the information they know.”
“Bingo!”Snow snapped his fingers and continued,”just based on this, it’s enough to see that there’s a huge gap between their level and the previous two.” He paused.”Do you still remember … The ‘bottle opener’ and ‘Triceratops’… The first thing they did after the game started was a ‘boxing match’; Although this is indeed the most direct way to test each other’s strength and punching speed, under the premise of insufficient information, this kind of action is actually very dangerous … If the opponent is a master much higher level than you, then it is very likely that you will be killed in the first punch. ”
“Hey! Attention, the Vikings are about to attack. ” At that moment, Feng bujue used his fast talking speed to warn his two teammates.
As snow and ambitionist spoke, their eyes did not leave the ring. They had also noticed the change in the arena.
After a brief stalemate, the Viking suddenly bent forward, charging forward like a wild horse.
With a height of 1.9 meters and a burly body, it was no doubt very difficult to do such a move under the premise of his “physical skills” being limited …
And his opponent’s Mirror Shield also instantly reacted … He immediately leaned his upper body back and leaned his body to the side, using his flexible steps to create a certain “relatively still time” in the process of retreating to make an effective defense.
Hu hu hu hu~~
Soon, the Viking threw out a punch.
The punches were accompanied by the sound of the wind, but … None of them hit.
Of course, anyone with eyes could tell that Wufu didn’t use his full strength.
This round of assault by the Vikings seemed menacing, but was actually a mix of offense and defense, primarily to probe. The punches he threw out … Were all based on the premise of ‘quickly withdrawing the fist’ and ‘not panicking’.
However, because he was very powerful, even this kind of “probing” level attack was quite lethal.
“Tsk … He’s indeed powerful.” Feng bujue looked at it for a few seconds before adding,”this kind of ‘test’ method can only be seen in a fight without ‘turn interval’ and ‘judgment intervention’.”
“Then …” Ambitionist, who knew nothing about boxing, was interested.”What’s the usual ‘test’ in a regular boxing match?”
“There will be a certain difference according to the level.” Feng bujue replied,”in any case, super middleweight players and above … Usually use ‘touch’ to test the waters.”
Hearing those two words, snow couldn’t help but say,””Why can you make a normal thing sound so dirty …”
“Hehe …” Ambitionist laughed dryly and turned to snow.”Brother snow, why don’t you tell me more?”
“Well …” Snow pondered for a second and said,”let’s put it this way … In a regular boxing match, if two boxers who have never fought each other face to face, the opening Test is generally to’ find the distance ‘as the purpose. To put it more vividly … The two sides use their bodies to test the other party’s actual arm span, attack speed, and’ best killing distance ‘and other information.
“Because for this kind of information … No matter how many videos you watch or how many sparring partners with similar physical conditions to your opponent, it’s impossible to get a particularly accurate feeling. Only when you’re facing your opponent and ‘touch’ each other with your fists a few times … Can you figure it out. ”
“Oh …” Ambitionist did not fully understand.”So … What do you mean by ‘distance’?” Isn’t it just arm span?”
“Arm span is only one of the factors that determine ‘distance’.” Snow replied,”the ‘best killing distance’ for a person to punch is related to the shoulder width, arm span, subtle differences in bones and muscles, the posture of the punch, the reaction speed of the explosive force of the muscles, and many other factors. Let’s not talk about the complicated ones. Let’s give a simple example … In real life, most people don’t even know ‘what position’ they should use and ‘how far away’ they should hit to deliver the most powerful punch. ” He paused for a second and continued,”professional boxers will know this … And can even make it more detailed. For example, he needed to figure out the distance between his most powerful straight punch and the target, the distance he should use an uppercut, and the distance he should adapt to when he swung his fist, etc. And those top players could not only accurately grasp their own ‘distance’, but also quickly figure out the opponent ‘s’ distance ‘in a duel … Louis, the last boxing King of the last century. Lennox Lewis was a ‘distance-control genius’. Among the players of his generation, there were people who were more agile than him, and there were people who could kill him with heavy punches. His only obvious advantage might be his ‘arm length’. But … He was still the most dominant boxer of that period, because his judgment of ‘distance’ was impeccable. As long as he grasps the ‘distance’, he can avoid the opponent ‘s’ strongest killing ‘while defending. When attacking, he can rely on one of the few’ effective heavy strikes ‘to make the final decision. ”
When it came to boxing, snow could not stop talking. It seemed like … He was really an experienced driver. Not only did he have a lot of knowledge in this area, but he also had a lot of original opinions.
“Uh …” Ambitionist’s comprehension wasn’t bad. He was able to digest the whole story after listening to it. After some thought, he continued,”then … Isn’t the way this ‘Viking’ is testing the waters a little too rash?” He paused for half a second and added,”if he fights like this, he’ll only expose his ‘distance’, right?”
“Hmm …” Feng bujue, who had been listening by the side for a long time, slowly read it out.”This means that he is very confident in his ‘face’.”
“Ha?” Hong Hu didn’t understand this sentence.”What do you mean?”
Bang Bang Bang
Before brother Jue could reply, the two in the ring used their actions to answer ambitionist’s question.
In that instant, the shield’s punch landed squarely on the Viking’s face.
Just now …… While the three players were conversing, the Vikings had never stopped their assault. In a situation where the strength of both sides was relatively close, it was impossible for one side to completely Dodge all the attacks of the other side … So, the shield-type mirror quickly slowed down and used slapping and blocking.
As for the Vikings, they didn’t give up, and continued to seek for a breakthrough point with the same “walking” rhythm.
Under this kind of pressure, the mirror Shield naturally had to counterattack a few times. If he just focused on defense … Then some of the habits and flaws in his defense would be revealed faster than the other side’s offensive flaws.
And so, we witnessed this “Chi Chi” being countered by the Viking’s punch. The shield mirror dodged to the side, taking advantage of the opening of the opponent’s door to deliver a rather powerful straight punch, directly smashing into the Viking’s face.
However, the damage caused by this attack was far less than what most of the audience had imagined.
Because……In that split second, the Viking judged that he would be punched ….. He immediately charged forward, using his face to meet the mirror Shield’s incoming fist.
“Look … He used his face to block the opponent’s anti-intercept.” Feng bujue said,”and then it will be …”
What happened at the same time as brother Jue’s words was … The Viking seized the opportunity before the shield could retract its right hand and threw out another punch, returning the blow to the shield’s face.
“Hey, hey … Don’t tell me that ‘using my face to meet a fist’ is also a kind of tactic …” Ambitionist adjusted his glasses and shrugged.”No matter what … The ability to take hits in this part of the body can’t be trained.”
“It’s okay …” Unexpectedly, snow continued,”of course … To be exact, it’s not to train the resistance of the ‘face’, but to train the resistance of the ‘head’.” As he spoke, he touched his neck.”Well … The method is very harsh, painful, and may even leave sequelae.”
“One more thing …” Before snow could finish, Feng bujue continued,”‘using your face to meet the fist’ is indeed a tactic …” He read it without turning his head.”Didn’t snow just say that every punch has an ‘optimal range’… When you are certain that you can not Dodge the incoming punch, there is one last way to reduce the damage … And that is to quickly shorten this ‘range’. Take the Viking’s attack as an example …… By slamming his face into the shield, the shield’s straight punch had struck its target before his arm and wrist could even straighten out. As a result, the power of the punch was naturally greatly reduced. At least …… It has dropped to a point where the Vikings can grit their teeth and endure it. ”
“And the punch that hit the shield after that, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy …” One second later, snow followed brother Jue’s words.
As the two of them echoed each other, the Vikings continued their victorious pursuit, delivering a combo of punches to the shield bearers.
From the player’s nickname, it could be seen that the shield was very confident in his defensive skills, and the actual situation … Was indeed so.
Even after taking a heavy punch and being chased continuously, the shield didn’t panic … He just followed the basic principles, adjusting his posture and gradually returning to his normal defensive rhythm.
The Viking coldly snorted at the sight, before slowing down the frequency of their attacks …
As a result, under the boos of the audience who couldn’t see through it, this “second match” seemed to have entered the rhythm of a tug-of-war.
However, brother Jue and snow, who were high up, did not think so. At that moment, the two of them said almost in unison,””Yes … It’s over …”
