Chapter 209 M-1 Final Four Competition (5,000 words)(1/2)
Lin Linglong came very quickly. She got on the plane that night and arrived in San Francisco the next morning.
Wang Lei personally rushed to the airport to pick her up, took her to her parents' restaurant to meet her grandfather, and after lunch, she took her to the main gymnasium to watch the semi-finals of the "M-1 Competition". Zhou Yuwei was also accompanied by Zhou.
Wang Lei did not buy tickets for the two of them, and directly took them into his VIP room.
Anyway, his private room was big enough that he could just sit three people. Originally, he and Ouyang Ming were the only ones, but now Ouyang Ming was driven out by him and replaced by two women.
Lin Linglong is a girl with a lively personality and talks a lot. Seeing that the competition had not started yet, she chattered and asked Wang Lei: "Senior Brother, was what you said on the phone yesterday true?"
Wang Lei said: "It is of course true to let you do the character prototype of the 'm-1' fighting game, and you will be rewarded as much as Scott and others, all of which are 500,000 US dollars!"
"No, is it true that you said you were going to write me a movie script and make me a female action star?"
"Oh, this is true. After all, Scott and the others participated in the 'm-1 competition'. With a certain popularity, you can't be famous!"
"Then have you written the script? Can I read it?" Lin Linglong asked with bright eyes.
Wang Lei was speechless for a while before saying, "How could it be so fast? I just came up with this idea yesterday..."
Lin Linglong interrupted him and said, "Then you must have a rough content of the story, right? Tell me!"
Wang Lei had no choice but to work his mind quickly, and was planning to choose a movie that mainly consisted of female characters in his previous life to tell Lin Linglong. However, he heard the charming voice of the host Panni.
But the game is about to begin.
So, Wang Lei immediately said to Lin Linglong: "Look at the game first. I'll tell you after the game is over!"
Today is the last day of the "M-1 Competition". Not only will we decide the semi-finals, but we must also finish the semi-finals and decide the champion, runner-up and third place.
In other words, at least eight games have to be played today.
The "m-1 Competition" has been very popular for two consecutive days. In addition, Wang Lei threw out the "m-1" fighting game and the incident of Liu Wenlong "aggressively" who was Ouyang Ming following Wang Lei's instructions to hype yesterday.
The continuous hype coupled with the exciting and unexpected performance of the contestants in the competition has led to more and more Americans paying attention to the "M-1 Competition" and has become the hottest topic in the United States.
Wang Lei has received reports that the "Fourteenth Competition" of the day before yesterday has exceeded 30 million viewers after the "Fourteenth Competition" was broadcast on TV. Although it is far behind the "Super Bowl" of American Professional Football and is not as good as the number of viewers in professional baseball games, the number of viewers in the field of fighting is absolutely the highest.
Some media have predicted that if the second and third "M-1 Competition" next year and the next year is also successfully held, its attention and audience will sooner or later surpass professional football and professional baseball, and will fare away from professional wrestling, boxing, free fighting and other competitions.
At that time, it is estimated that only the most popular professional boxing champion competition will be able to suppress the "m-1 competition".
In short, the "M-1 Competition" planned and invested in by Wang Lei is a very successful professional competition. Not only does it not lose money, but it can also earn several times or even more than ten times of profit for him.
Such gains have made many capitalists jealous. Some people are already trying to contact Ouyang Ming and Wang Lei’s agent Arum, and even Zhou Yuqiang, who serves as Wang Lei’s personal lawyer, has also been contacted.
After all, Wang Lei once told the media that after the "m-1 competition" is successfully run, he will transfer it to others so that he can also participate in the competition, because he cannot pay bonuses for himself.
Although the first session of the "m-1 Competition" has not ended yet, it has been proven to be absolutely successful. Naturally, these capitalists can't help but pick peaches.
It’s a pity that they cannot pick it away. Although Wang Lei told the media that he wanted to transfer the "m-1 competition" to others, he just moved behind the scenes and pushed Ouyang Ming and McKell to the front stage. It was equivalent to turning from left hand to right hand.
The "m-1 Competition" has been proven that it can obtain at least several times or even more than ten times of the benefits every year. Only when Wang Lei is stupid will he really transfer it to others.
The first game of today's semi-finals competition is Scott's match against Hawyce Gracie of Brazil's Gracie family.
In order to allow Scott to defeat Hawyce Gracie, Wang Lei not only personally served as Scott's sparring training before the "M-1 Competition", but also allowed Ouyang Ming, who was familiar with Gracie Jiu-jitsu, to guide him.
With Scott's strength and insight, if you can't defeat Hawyth Gracie, you can die!
Facts have proved that Wang Lei and Ouyang Ming’s special training for Steko was very effective!
Hawyth Gracie's ground-torque fighting style and joint skills are refreshing. Before WWA was really popular, players in the ring fighting were basically used to standing fighting, and few people even fought with others after falling to the ground.
If the player who doesn't know Gracie Jiu-Jitsu faces Hawyth Gracie, he will lose in the tenth.
Fortunately, Scott already knows Gracey Jiu-Jitsu, and he is a special military member of the Delta Force and is also good at grappling fighting skills, so he can fight Hawyth Gracey in a difficult way.
Hawyce Gracie's twisting skills, locking skills and cross-fixes were used on Scott, but they were resolved by Scott one by one, and they even used twisting skills and locking skills to deal with Hawyce Gracie.
The two spent 90% of the first round fighting on the ground, just like elementary school students fighting. The audience was surprised and felt very fresh and exciting.
Although Hawyce Gracie was surprised that Scott knew so much about his family's Jiu-Jitsu, he had been trained like this since he was a child, but he was not so easily controlled by an "outsider" using his special skills.
Therefore, Scott's neck-wringing skills, ankle and wrist locking skills were easily cracked by Hawyce Gracie, resulting in neither side being able to do anything to each other.
Halfway through the second round, Scott realized that this would not work, and was dragged to the ground by Hawyce again and stopped fighting with the opponent. Instead, he directly "Rabbit kicking the Eagle" and kicked Hawyce hard on Hawyce's belly. He kicked Hawyce overturned on the spot.
Then Scott jumped up in a lightning momentum and punched Hawyth Gracey who was lying on the ground.
Hawyth Gracie turned his head very quickly, causing Scott's punch to be wiped out.
However, Scott's punch fell and instantly turned into an elbow, hitting Hawyth Gracie's temple.
Hawyth Gracey's head suddenly buzzed and became dizzy.
Then with a "bang", Scott took the opportunity to punch again and hit Hawyce Gracie in the face.
This time, Hawyth Grace finally knocked unconscious.
Scott won and successfully advanced to the semi-finals!
The audience in the audience couldn't help but applaud and cheered for Scott!
Scott was a pure American and was once a soldier, and the opponent he defeated was a Brazilian. Almost all the 60,000 audiences on the scene were Americans, so he would naturally support "his own people".
With three consecutive games and three wins and advanced to the semi-finals, Scott has become very popular and is a star in the "M-1 Competition".
People have begun to forget that he is Wang Lei’s bodyguard!
In the second game of the semi-finals competition, it was overweight sumo wrestler Asahi Fuji, who was a player from the "K-1 Competition", he went on stage.
Asahi Fuji Masato Asahi is also the biggest player in the "M-1 Competition". He feels very oppressed to people, and many viewers believe that he and Ray Mersell are the most likely players to win the championship.
As for Peter Az, although he performed well in the previous two games, not many people thought he was able to defeat Masaya Asahi Fuji.
Although Peter Az weighs 98 kilograms and is three centimeters taller than Asahi Fuji Masahi, he and Asahi Fuji Masahi also stand together, and still don't look the same level. It's like an elephant and a camel standing together.
Many people think that Peter Az will be like Matsui Atsuki and have no way to deal with Asahi Fuji Masashi. He can only be played with by Asahi Fuji Masashi like a cat-show rat.
However, the game was unexpected to almost everyone!
At the beginning of the game, Peter Az swept the head at Asahi Fuji Masaya with lightning speed.
Peter Az is tall enough and has long legs. It's not like Matsui's Atsuki who has to jump up to kick Masaya Nakatsu. He swept out and hit Masaya Asahi, who hasn't had time to defend.
It didn't look very sharp, as if it was very ordinary, but it was a fast enough speed to sweep the right leg. After kicking Ayuki Fuji Masaya's head, a dull sound like a sandbag was made. I saw Ayuki Fuji Masaya's huge body shaking twice, and then fell backwards and fell to the ground.
The strong shock caused by falling to the ground made the wire mesh tremble constantly, and almost knocked the ring down!
All the 60,000 viewers in the audience were shocked!
He kicked Asahi Fuji Masaya down with just one kick. How is this possible?
Is this guy Peter Az gone for luck?
I saw this scene on TV in Tokyo, Japan, Ishii, and I almost smashed the TV.
"Baga, get up, get up quickly, bastard..."
Ishii Kazuyoshi cursed at the fallen Masato Asahi Fuji, hoping that he could get up and fight again.
Unfortunately, Asahi Fuji Masato also disappointed him. He not only did not get up, but also fell into a coma.
Peter Az won the victory and kicked Asahi Fuji Masato in just one second of the game to advance to the semi-finals!
The speed of promotion is definitely breaking the record!
Wang Lei was not surprised by this result. He smiled and was stunned by Zhou Yuwei and Lin Linglong, two women who were stunned by his expression, explained: "Xu Fuji Masao was defeated without any worries. He underestimated the enemy. Peter Az's kick seemed not very good, but the kicking power was definitely more than 800 kilograms. Among all the contestants in m-1, Peter Az's kicking power was definitely the strongest, and even Ray Mersell's punch could not match!"
"Eight hundred kilograms? Is this possible?" Lin Linglong looked disbelieving.
Wang Lei smiled and said, "It is absolutely possible. Don't think that this is an unbreakable record. In fact, Foreman and Tyson's backhand punches also have such power, even exceeding 900 kilograms. Of course, they are fighting a boxing test machine, which is different from the machine that tests the kicking power. The data may differ. However, in terms of lethality, I believe it should be similar!"
Wang Lei is talking about the facts.
Although many experts in the previous life swore that Peter Az's leg sweep strength was better than Tyson and Foreman's backhand punches. The reason was that Peter Az's opponent who swept his head would fall to the ground 100%.
But if Tyson and Forman had a heavy punch to Peter Az's opponent in the head, the consequences would definitely be the same.
The heavyweights in the K-1 contest can't stand Peter Az's leg sweep, nor can they stand Tyson and Foreman's heavy punches.
It is impossible to convince people that Peter Az's leg sweeping power is 836 kilograms, which is much stronger than Tyson and Forman's heavy punches.
Peter Az defeated Asahi Masaya and advanced to the semi-finals, resulting in all three Japanese players being eliminated. Ishii Kazuyoshi, who was far away in Tokyo, Japan, finally couldn't help but smash the TV and didn't want to watch it anymore.
The next game is the Muay Thai player Nalelong, nicknamed "Lightning Legs", against Germain Hughes, nicknamed "African Jungle Warrior".
In this game, Wang Lei believed that Naleron could win and could defeat Germain Hughes in one round at most, but the result was unexpected to him.
Nallon and Germain Hughes fought very fiercely, and it was difficult to distinguish.
In the first round, Nalelong basically had the upper hand, with sharp low sweep kicks, mid sweep kicks and high sweep kicks constantly hitting Germain Hughes, and also elbow-knee attacks.
The attack rhythm is so dense that it keeps falling on Germain Hughes like raindrops, which makes Germain Hughes unable to dodge.
But Germain Hughes seemed thin, but his physique was surprisingly strong. He was hit by Naleron several times and elbows and knee attacks, but he refused to fall down. Instead, he roared like an angry beast and continued to launch a counterattack on Naleron.
At the beginning, Nalleron could easily suppress Germain Hughes' counterattack with sweeping kicks and elbows and knee attacks. But three minutes later, he was accidentally knocked to the ground by Germain Hughes.
He was about to be beaten by Germain Hughes in a horse-riding posture. Nallon was calm and turned around suddenly. Then he beat Germain Hughes down with his backhand and elbow.
Then a "carp thrust" stood up as fast as possible.
After standing up, Nallon kicked Esau and attacked Germain Hughes again. He pressed Germain Hughes to hit him again.
