God of NBA point guards

Chapter 353 The $200 Big Bet
At four o'clock in the afternoon on September 9, at the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, Bob Arum and Don King held a press conference, inviting more than 17 large mainstream media and professional media around the world.

Under the witness of Ross Hogg, the chairman of the WBC organization, Zhou Quan and Oliver McCall officially signed the contract and announced that they will defend the WBC world heavyweight title on October 10.

"Crack clap..."

Even though Zeng Li was standing in the corner, his eyes were dazzled by the flashing lights of the media cameras.

At this time, she was under a lot of psychological pressure, because her boyfriend was too outstanding, but she was too ordinary, and they came together suddenly, without a relationship foundation, so she was particularly lacking in confidence.

When she saw Zhou Quan standing with that opponent, she was also particularly worried, because this opponent was stronger than the previous opponent. The opponent the day before yesterday was stronger than Zhou Quan by a lap, and this opponent was stronger than Zhou Quan by two or three laps. , looks very scary.

"Ow!"

Waving his fists vigorously, Oliver McCall roared and burst out the most powerful momentum towards Zhou Quan, trying to put psychological pressure on Zhou Quan.

He even bumped Zhou Quan with his chest, trying to create a physical conflict and further suppress Zhou Quan psychologically.

Unfortunately, his mobility is not as good as that of Michael Muller. Zhou Quan took the lead and slid to the right. After avoiding the impact, he swung his left arm and hit McCall on the nose with a left flat uppercut.

"Oh!"

With a cry of pain, McCall covered his nose.

He has an iron chin, but not an iron nose. The pain caused tears to flow out. Fortunately, Zhou Quan didn't use too much force, otherwise the bridge of the nose would definitely be broken.

A group of security personnel immediately rushed forward and separated the two.

Zhou Quan stared at McCall with a smile on his face and shouted: "Hey, bull, I always have a lot of energy when fighting bulls. If you can't wait, I can beat you right here."

"Ha ha……"

The press conference hall burst into laughter.

"You bastard!"

McCall gave Zhou Quan a hard look, and he couldn't rush forward even under the obstruction of the security guards, so he could only swallow his breath first.

"Tekken, how sure are you of this World Boxing Championship?" the New York Times reporter asked.

"Definitely!"

The boxing match was right in front of him. At this time, Zhou Quan couldn't have any modesty, otherwise he would destroy his morale, and self-hypnosis must stimulate his own morale.

"Iron Fist, I'm Reuters reporter Rex Luke..."

"Tekken, I'm a BBC reporter..."

"Iron Fist, I'm a reporter from the Associated Press..."

"Tekken, I'm an AFP reporter..."

"Tekken, I'm a Google News reporter..."

Zhou Quan was a little bit emotional, the world's top big media came to a boxing match, and the grade was much higher than the NBA!
"Tekken, I am Saburo Mizui, a reporter from Tokyo Daily, why did you launch a mandatory challenge to McCall in such a short period of time?"

"Because I'm a crossover athlete and I'm in a hurry."

"Pfft!"

I don't know which one it is, I laughed out loud.

Mizui Sanlang was also a little embarrassed, and asked a nonsense question. He was about to ask another question, but the host had already had his microphone taken away.

The host took a look and saw a Chinese man holding his right hand high among the reporters. Thinking that Zhou Quan was also Chinese, he clicked on that Chinese reporter.

Zhang Lu was very happy. After taking the microphone, he hurriedly asked, "Zhou Quan, I'm Zhang Lu, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. I wish you a successful start."

"Thank you! I hope it will be as you said." Zhou Quan nodded and smiled.

Next, the host turned over the cards of the CCTV reporter.

After the press conference, Bob Arum said: "Iron Fist, Oliver McCall's gold belt has been handed in. I suggest you copy one right away. It's only tens of thousands of dollars. After you win him, you will be awarded the one you copied. , after throwing away the golden belt, it can be kept forever without handing it in."

"OK."

Zhou Quan agreed.

After the press conference, he devoted himself to training.

Bob Arum sorted out all of Oliver McCall's materials, from written materials to game videos, and even got a few boxes of McCall's training videos.

Zhou Quan was also very surprised at the training video. He didn't know how Arum got it. Could it be that he sent commercial spies to steal it?Networking is really strong.

Oliver McCall, a native of Chicago, USA, 30 years old, entered professional boxing in 85, 188 cm tall, 110 kg, 190 cm wingspan, nicknamed Atomic Bull, or Bull.

At the beginning of his career, he was a sparring partner for Michael Tyson and Bruno, the British generation of boxing kings. He once knocked down Tyson in internal combat training. His style combines Tyson's fierceness and Bruno's calmness. He is good at grasping and seizing opportunities, and can often hit KO opponents with unexpected punches.

As Tyson's sparring partner, his ability to resist blows even surpassed Tyson's. He has a steel chin and is the only sparring partner who can withstand Tyson's heavy punches. So far, he has never been knocked down in his career, not once. Not to be called the champion of boxing.

Lewis once commented that Oliver McCall is the only boxer in the world without pain nerves.

It is heavy and relatively clumsy to move, but it has a very strong ability to hit hard.

……

After Zhou Quan read some written materials, the coach Hans said to him: "Iron Fist, hit McCall, you need to be more patient, chew him slowly.

He is an extremely strong bull, and you are the fastest puma. If you accumulate damage on him bit by bit, no matter how strong he is and how strong his ability to resist blows is, he will be worn to death by you.

But you must be careful, his heavy punching ability is stronger than Michael Muller and David Tua, even stronger than Tyson's heavy punching ability, don't eat his heavy punches, don't be hit by him hard.

Fly a kite and lead him to fight. You are the hunter, and he is the bull you hunted.

Win him, and you're going to be the greatest professional crossover athlete, and you're bound to be one of the greatest professional athletes on the planet. "

Bruno, the British boxing king, accepted an interview with the BBC in London, and said: "The unbeaten boxing champion McCall weighs 110 kilograms. In addition to being a sparring partner for me, he has also been Tyson's sparring partner six times, so I know him very well.

His fighting ability is so strong that he can completely withstand Tyson's heavy punches. He should be the most capable boxer in the world, and he can be called a real iron man.

With a tonnage difference of 18 kilograms, I don't think iron fists can beat him at all, and it is impossible for iron fists to knock him down. In this boxing match, I am optimistic about McCall's successful defense of the title, and I will bet on him. "

As the king of the British generation, Frank Bruno's words have of course been recognized by many media,

However, some media thought that he was speaking bitterly, because the WBC had planned to directly arrange for him to become McCall's second mandatory challenger. He didn't even have to play in the qualifying rounds, but in the end the WBC chose Zhou Quan, who was more popular.

The world's most famous and authoritative professional boxing media, Hans Wellington, editor-in-chief of Boxing Carrier, talked about Bruno's statement in an interview with German media.

He said: "Although Bruno is the British boxing king of the generation, his highest achievement is only to win the title of European heavyweight boxing champion, and he has not won the title of world boxing champion from the four major boxing organizations and the IBO organization. So strictly speaking, he Not a true world boxing champion.

And he is 34 years old. Losing the opportunity to challenge McCall this time is a major loss and blow to him. At his current age, he may not have the opportunity to challenge for the title of world boxing champion in the future, so I sympathize with him. "

Michael Tyson, who had not yet left Las Vegas, took the initiative to find a reporter from the New York Times to comment on the fight.

He said with certainty: "I will bet on Iron Fist, he hit McCall, just like a leopard hunting a clumsy alpaca, the leopard will tear the alpaca to pieces sooner or later.

McCall is indeed capable of carrying heavy punches, but his weakness is too obvious, that is, he is too slow in front of the iron fist!

In fact, because the weight is only 92 kilograms, Tekken should be one of the fastest moving and most sensitive Tekkens in the professional boxing heavyweights. "

"What about you?"

"Of course not as good as me, I'm ten centimeters shorter than him, and I can blow him up."

McCall has practiced with Tyson six times, so his words are still very valuable and have been recognized by a lot of media.

Muhammad Ali was preparing to leave Las Vegas and was interviewed by the media at the airport.

"Ali, aren't you going to watch this boxing champion defending challenge live?"

"No, I'll be back in a few days."

"Who do you think Iron Fist or McCall has the upper hand?"

Ali rubbed his stiff face, tried his best to smile and said: "They all have advantages, let's see how they play on the court. If McCall can hit the iron fist hard, then he will successfully defend the title.

But if Iron Fist can avoid getting hit hard, then he has the potential to become one of the greatest athletes in the world, the king of crossovers, and he will truly make his mark. "

"Which one of them do you want to win?"

"I'm not inclined toward that."

……

Starting from the 18th, Bob Arum and Don King began to exert their strength. Through the promotion of large sums of money, the media all over the world are promoting this world boxing champion challenge defending match.

Even the domestic media has been affected. The overwhelming news of the boxing match made the heat and attention of this boxing match occupy the attention of the world.

"Unbeaten Boxing King vs. Crossover King, Bulls Destined to Defend Title for Second Time." The New York Times.

"The greatest crossover king is about to be born!" Tokyo Daily.

"Iron Fist, the world's lightest heavyweight boxer, can he create a cross-border miracle again?" Germany's Die Welt.

"my country's famous basketball player Zhou Quan will compete for the first professional heavyweight WBC world title in his career in Las Vegas, USA on the National Day." Xinhua News Agency reported.

"On October 10st, a black bear challenges a brown bear. This will be the Battle of Waterloo for Iron Fist, the king of crossovers." Agence France-Presse reported.

"The Iron Fist challenged McCall the bull, which is equivalent to the frigate challenging the cruiser. It will be a tilted battle." Reuters reported.

"The WBC should give an explanation to Bruno, and to the British Empire. They gave up the opportunity that should have belonged to the British King of Fighters, but gave it to a Chinese." BBC reported.

"One blow! Only one heavy blow is needed, and boxing champion McCall can KO Iron Fist and complete the second defense of the title." Russian newspaper.

Zhou Quan didn't have time to pay attention to these media reports, but his manager Philip did. He told Zhou Quan that most of the media were still more optimistic about McCall.

"The issue of skin color and identity is the main reason, and strength is not the basis for these media to make judgments." He comforted Zhou Quan.

"Let them go."

Michael Jackson was hacked and turned into a pervert. Zhou Quan didn't care about these media reports at all. The willpower of the full level is not a joke.

……

On September 9, the world's major gambling companies launched handicap for this boxing match.

This time, no gambling company dared to set Zhou Quan's odds above 1.2, and McCall was the same.

The bets offered by the major gambling companies for the two are almost the same, and the gamblers must make their own judgments.

Jordan remained in Las Vegas, studying the odds.

He was very distressed, because he was very optimistic about the undefeated boxing champion Oliver McCall. The bull was too strong. He thought that the iron fist could not bite McCall, so he wanted to make a big bet, and most of the media in the world also supported it. his opinion.

However, this time, the attitudes of the gambling companies all over the world were ambiguous, and the number was five or five, which made him hesitate.

He just signed a three-year 200 million contract, but because of his failure to defend his title, his sneaker sales have stagnated. Part of the market has been robbed by Tekken's sneakers, and part of the sponsorship and endorsements has also been reduced, so he dare not Random bets.

Moreover, he just ordered a luxury yacht of more than 400 million yuan, which was deliberately bigger than Zhou Quan's.

After thinking about it for a few days, after losing more than 30 in Las Vegas casinos, he finally decided to bet 200 million dollars on the bull and won the money he lost in the casino. You can pull it back.

As for losing, if you gamble, you don't lose. This is his greatest hobby. If you don't gamble, you can't do it. Then you will lose the greatest joy in life.

Besides, it is not a problem for him to win the championship back next season, sell more shoes, engage in more endorsements and sponsorships, and earn an extra 3000 to [-] million dollars a year.

This day, he lost in the casino with a bad head and a bad face. When he came out to take a breath, he was discovered by a reporter.

"Oh, Michael? Hey, Michael, how about an interview?" the reporter exclaimed.

"Okay, okay, three questions, you can ask them." As soon as he came out, Jordan didn't want to go back immediately, and said impatiently.

"The first question, Tekken said that playing the Bulls is exciting. Do you think he refers to your team or Oliver McCall?" the Bull asked excitedly.

"I don't know, you can ask him." He said angrily.

"Second question, how much did you bet on this boxing match? Who did you bet on?" Although Jordan had a bad attitude, the reporter asked without hesitation.

"Of course it's a bull. I won't tell you how much you bet, you can guess." Jordan said rather mysteriously.

"The third question, your eyes are already red, so you have been at the gambling table for several days and nights? Can you tell me how much you lost?" The reporter finally asked.

"Who said I lost? I won two to three hundred thousand dollars." Jordan left a sentence unhappily, turned around and walked towards the door of the VIP room.

"Michael, I would like to ask one more question. If Tekken becomes the world boxing champion, do you think his status in the world sports world will surpass you?" The reporter chased after him and asked.

"How does he beat McCall the bull? Hold and gnaw? He can't hurt McCall even if he hits McCall ten times, and it's useless to hit him on the jaw, but McCall only needs to seize the opportunity to give him a heavy blow." If you hit him, you can KO him." Jordan said disdainfully.
