NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!

In America, sports do not separate families.

Basically, people who play basketball like to watch boxing and rugby. After all, these sports are actually very competitive.

This is equivalent to people who read novels not necessarily only reading one genre and one theory.

Those who like to read sports novels will also dabble in fantasy novels, urban pretentious articles, and even NTR articles. After all, everyone has different interests and hobbies.

Therefore, it is not particularly strange for Danzi to know this intercontinental boxing champion.

But when he heard that Ye Qingchen was going to have a battle with him, he was really shocked.

Danzi didn't know what happened to Ye Qingchen to challenge a professional boxing champion.

This guy is no ordinary boxer, he is a boxing champion with the nickname "Atlantic City Express".

Bruce Selden only recently won the WBA throne by technically knocking out his opponent Tony Tucker.

He is considered one of the most popular boxers this year, if you don't count Tyson, who has just been released from prison.

Now Danzi actually heard Ye Qingchen personally say that he wanted to fight Bruce Selden. This was really a fantasy.

Ye Qingchen seemed to have expected Danzi's shock. He smiled and explained:
"Hey, Michael, you've already won the championship, why don't you allow me to cross over and try boxing?"

"It's not that I don't allow you to box, but what you are challenging now is a professional boxing champion. You have no idea how powerful your opponent is!"

"So what if I'm a boxing champion? It's not like you don't know my fighting prowess!"

"I know you are very good at fighting. You have broken up the 'Bad Boy Army', but you have to know the fact that every line is like a mountain. You are playing with fire now!"

"Don't worry, you will definitely be surprised when you watch my game!"

"I don't want to see you being knocked out with one punch. That would be really embarrassing!"

Danzi hung up the phone angrily. At this time, he indeed had a lot of resentment towards Ye Qingchen.

This guy announced his retirement without saying a word, making his championship worthless.

Now that he has lowered his arrogance and asked him to come back again, he tells himself that he wants to challenge the boxing champion?
This guy is really crazy!

Originally, the night of winning the championship should have been a very happy event, but now Danzi just felt it was boring because the opponent he wanted to defeat the most did not appear in front of him at all.

"This feels terrible!"

The next day, the media rushed to report Danzi's call for Ye Qingchen to come back, and all the fans responded to Danzi's call.

At this moment, a piece of heavy news came out:

Ye Qingchen will challenge the new heavyweight boxing champion Bruce Selden next Sunday, and the match will also be broadcast live across the United States!
This news instantly detonated the entire American sports world!

Almost all basketball and boxing fans were shocked!

Neither of these two groups expected that three-time NBA champion Ye Qingchen, who had just announced his retirement and entered the boxing world, would have a ring competition with boxing champion Selden next Sunday!

Everyone thought Ye Qingchen was crazy. Even the Lakers players felt that Ye Qingchen was really exaggerating this time.

After Ewing and Olajuwon learned the news, they came to Ye Qingchen's home regardless of the bad mood of losing in the finals.

Their idea is very simple, they hope that Ye Qingchen will not act impulsively. After all, the opponent is a heavyweight boxing champion, and he is a real gold belt winner!
Ye Qingchen was very touched by Ewing and Olajuwon's concern, and told them not to worry too much, because he would defeat Selden with a KO and get the first victory in his boxing career.

Ewing and Olajuwon couldn't resist Ye Qingchen's persistence and could only leave depressed.

At the same time, America, which had just concluded the finals, was once again lively, and everyone was talking about the arena match between Ye Qingchen and Selden.

Many boxing fans feel that Ye Qingchen is really looking for death. He is cross-border boxing, but there is only one result, and he is severely taught by Selden.

"Although the rules of boxing are very simple, and it looks like two people fighting in the ring, in fact boxing involves too many things. Ye really stepped up this time!"

"Although I also like to watch Ye's games and I am also a fan of his, I really don't expect him to win this time because he is simply an amateur and this match is really bullshit!"

"If he can defeat Selden, it will really be the sun rising from the west!"

"There is actually a big difference between boxing and fighting. What Ye did this time is just to make the NBA regret it, but he may be self-defeating!"

"No matter what the result is, his courage is commendable. I will go to watch the game and support him!"

Although the outside world showed a one-sided situation, almost everyone was not optimistic that Ye Qingchen could survive several rounds in Selden's hands.

But what is certain is that Ye Qingchen's group competition really attracted a lot of attention and attention this time.

According to statistics from relevant departments, the tickets for this arena match have been sold out, and the front row seats have been priced at US$[-].

This price can even be said to be sky-high. This can be regarded as Ye Qingchen's success.

Because although there is no exact information about how much share Ye Qingchen will get from this arena competition, there is definitely a lot of income.

Even if Ye Qingchen is really knocked out by Selden as soon as he comes on the stage, his appearance fee will not be less.

So, no matter how you look at it, Ye Qingchen made money in this arena challenge.

At this moment, the bookmaker finally dared to boldly offer odds.

After all, this is a boxing match, not a basketball match. Although Ye Qingchen's fighting skills are very strong, he is not a professional after all, and his opponent is still a boxing champion, so the chance of him winning is really very slim. not enough.

Therefore, the bookmaker immediately announced the winning odds for both sides. Ye Qingchen's winning odds were +100, while Selden's winning odds were -100.

The meaning of this odds is that if you win by buying Ye Qingchen, and he really wins, you can get 100 US dollars for one dollar.

If Selden wins, and he wins in the end, buying two hundred dollars to get a hundred dollars in income is really worthless.

Almost everyone would not buy something that Ye Qingchen could win. Even his former teammates had lost confidence in Ye Qingchen.

There is only one person who pays great attention to Ye Qingchen, and he is Keith Owens. He will never lose confidence in Ye Qingchen. This is his life creed.

Because every time Ye Qingchen held such a high-profile event, he won in the end.

Keith Owens gained so much wealth because he believed in Ye Qingchen unconditionally.

Therefore, this time he also spent 500 million without reservation to buy Ye Qingchen to defeat Selden.Keith Owens surprised bookies with this huge bet.

They even hesitated to adjust the odds lower because of Keith Owens' bet.

But when they discovered that Keith Owens was the only one who made a big bet, they finally relaxed.

That shows that Keith Owens is not a rational person at all, and he has lost his judgment.

Therefore, the bookmaker did not lower the odds in the end and continued to post this outrageous odds.

And as time goes by, the time for the boxing match gets closer and closer.

People across the United States are looking forward to the start of this arena match, and Selden, one of the protagonists of this arena match, also said in an interview with reporters:

"First of all, I want to make it clear that I also enjoy watching Ye's games. He is a god-like existence on the basketball court!"

"But now that he wants to challenge me in the ring, he is challenging my job, so I can't be merciful!"

"However, I will let him lose with dignity and try to make him lie on the ground as quickly as possible and then lose consciousness!"

Selden's words made the reporters laugh.

Obviously, in Selden's view, KOing Ye Qingchen is just a piece of cake and not worth mentioning at all.

The reason why he accepted Ye Qingchen's challenge was actually because of Ye Qingchen's own traffic flow. This guy himself had great value.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. He didn’t make a lot of money in the NBA. Instead, he announced his retirement directly and wanted to challenge himself.

Of course he would not refuse someone who gave him money to spend.

He and Ye Qingchen also reached an agreement. The broadcast fees for this arena match would be split 1000-[-], and if he defeated Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen would pay him an additional $[-] million in appearance fees.

Precisely because Ye Qingchen gave so much, he simply couldn't refuse Ye Qingchen's challenge, so he agreed.

I believe that no boxing champion would be able to refuse such a thing.

Selden couldn't figure out why Ye Qingchen insisted on challenging him, but if he had money, he wouldn't care so much.

Anyway, KOing Ye Qingchen was just a matter of laughter.

That's why he said such arrogant words when being interviewed by reporters.

At the same time, David Stern was also paying close attention to Ye Qingchen's arena match.

When he learned that Ye Qingchen was going to challenge Selden, he almost laughed out loud.

He always thought that Ye Qingchen would use some clever tricks, but he didn't expect that it would be such a clumsy trick.

His challenge to Selden was indeed able to attract enough attention, but he did not consider whether his own strength could defeat Selden at all. This was the key to the problem.

Ye Qingchen can indeed be a victorious general in the NBA, but now that he is playing boxing, it is not that simple.

In addition, Ye Qingchen himself has not received professional boxing training, which makes his disadvantage even more obvious.

Ye Qingchen's high-profile announcement to challenge Selden this time can indeed attract the attention of many fans, but once he loses this arena match, it will become a stain on his life.

Those fans who like him will leave him because of this. The fans themselves are very realistic. What they want to see is a Ye Qingchen who will never fail, not a Ye Qingchen who goes to boxing but is directly knocked out. Light dust.

This is really a bargain!
Ye Qingchen's move this time was really a failure, which was equivalent to giving the NBA a good opportunity.

When the time comes, they can ridicule Ye Qingchen as much as they want, let him know how much of a failure he is, and humiliate him constantly.

Let the media work hard to ruin Ye Qingchen's reputation, and then give him a little sweetener, and he will definitely choose to return to the NBA.

David Stern is in an extremely comfortable mood at the moment. Although this season's finals are very awkward, he believes that fans will forget Ye Qingchen's existence next season.

At that time, the NBA will be back on track. Ye Qingchen's challenge to the NBA is doomed to fail.

For this reason, David Stern even paid a high price to buy a front-row ticket for Ye Qingchen's arena match.

He just wanted to witness Ye Qingchen being KO'd by Selden at the scene, which would definitely be quite good.

The arena challenge between Ye Qingchen and Selden has finally begun!

This match attracted a large number of spectators, and everyone wanted to see how Ye Qingchen lost.

When the two sides appeared on the stage, the audience was instantly excited!

When the two appeared on the ring, the host announced loudly:
"The arena competition starts now!"

The camera was also focused on Ye Qingchen at this moment. There was no nervousness at all on his face, and he even had a faint smile.

Ye Qingchen's calmness surprised the audience. They didn't know why Ye Qingchen was still so calm at this time.

It would be nonsense to say that Ye Qingchen bribed Selden, because as a boxing champion, if he is really defeated by an amateur, it will become a big stain on his career. , and may even directly make him an object of contempt among boxing fans.

Therefore, in this case, it is absolutely impossible for Selden to fake a punch. He must be responsible for his own reputation and the reputation of the boxing champion.

Even in such a situation, Ye Qingchen still maintained such a good attitude. It can only be said that he was really confident.

The camera also panned to the audience at this moment, and those sitting in the front row were almost all the big guys in the American sports world.

Players from the Lakers also appeared here one after another, and even Danzi appeared in the front row, which made many spectators cheer loudly.

At this moment, the camera focused on a person. When this person appeared on the big screen, the atmosphere at the scene reached its climax.

Because this person is none other than NBA President David Stern!
He actually showed up at the scene, and he actually came to watch Ye Qingchen's arena match!

On the big screen, David Stern greeted the camera with a smile on his face. He looked like a gentleman and seemed to be looking forward to this game.

And when Ye Qingchen saw David Stern, the smile on his face became even stronger.

Obviously, this guy just came here to see his misfortune!
In this case, we can't let him succeed!

At this moment, the bell rang and the first round of the boxing match officially began! (End of chapter)
