Chapter 278 Auditions

Half a month after Zhang Yang arrived in Los Angeles, after a series of publicity and audition registration processes, the auditions for the four major competition areas finally got underway.

There are four major competition areas across the United States. Naturally, Zhang Yang cannot go to every venue, but fortunately, the San Francisco competition area is also located on the West Coast like Los Angeles. It is only more than 600 kilometers away from Los Angeles and only takes three hours by plane. time.

Naturally, Zhang Yang and others would not be short on air tickets and went to watch the game offline in advance, so that everyone could feel how strong these opponents who were about to stand out from the budget competition were.

The day of the audition.

Zhang Yang brought Zhou Billy, Shajia, Su Jiawei, Binny and others, accompanied by Lewis, to the audition site in San Francisco. However, after they arrived at the venue, they behaved extremely low-key, only letting the association's People were conducting auditions normally, while they were hiding in an inconspicuous corner, waiting quietly.

Because it is an audition, and there are a large number of players signing up at the same time, there are at least three duels in the stadium, all starting at the same time. The rules of the audition are still relatively rough, such as the San Francisco audition, because More than 60 people signed up to participate at the same time, so the audition strategy here is that all contestants will be drawn and matched immediately.

During the first five days of the audition, these players will be randomly drawn and matched for a duel every day. After the five-day duel, the total record will be checked. Those who have won all five matches will naturally be given priority to enter the next round. If they win all five matches and exceed The three advanced players will compete in a second draw on the sixth day until they are eliminated until only three people remain.

If there are less than three winners from all five matches, the four winners will be given priority and the three winners will be drawn to make up for the three.

Although such screening rules cannot guarantee that all experts will be promoted, the strongest ones in the audition will undoubtedly stand out. The result of winning five games seems quite difficult, but in the audition this It is still very telling in an environment with uneven levels.

The weak may not be able to win all five games, but the strong will never let themselves miss any game.

Soon, as the first round draw ended, six contestants took the lead on the stage.

Zhang Yang's eyes swept across the six people roughly, and finally quickly locked on a black man.

Art Jimmerson.

Zhang Yang saw the name of this light heavyweight boxing champion on the previous audition roster.

And today, he actually showed up at the auditions, and he happened to be the first one to take the stage.

Just to see what his strength is.

Zhang Yang held his breath and stared in Art's direction, while everyone else also focused on the duel that they were more interested in. Everyone was like the players on the stage, waiting for the bell to ring.

"Jingle Bell!"

As the bell rang in the stadium, the three first-round duels began at the same time!
Under Zhang Yang's gaze, the light heavyweight boxing champion Art has chosen to take the initiative and go straight to his opponent.

He is worthy of being a boxing champion. Although Art doesn't seem to be too alarmed by other fighting skills, his boxing skills are extremely solid. Looking at the opponent in front of him, he first calmly took a tentative step. The opponent raised his legs to meet the attack, and immediately leaned back. He avoided it lightly. After dodging the opponent's whip kick, Art stepped forward again and punched out with both fists!

A probing jab with the front hand, a straight punch with the back hand, and a continuous swing of the front hand to hit the opponent's defensive hand!

This combination of punches was really flowing like clouds and water. Fortunately, his opponent was not mediocre, and his frame was stable. Although he withstood Art's repeated bombardments, he was not impatient at all. Instead, he defended calmly, looking for Opportunity to fight back.

Oh?
The level of these players is not bad.

Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows. Although in his eyes, the techniques and tactics of these people were still a bit immature, they were generally decent. It seemed that the kung fu trend that Li Xiaolong set off in the United States had indeed caused a lot of criticism in the American fighting circle. Impact, their fighting strength, even compared to Muay Thai, is a bit more professional.

Just when Zhang Yang was a little surprised, Art's subsequent performance was even better. He proved with his strength why even after Li Xiaolong's kung fu wave, boxing is still the most popular and commercially successful fighting sport in the United States. project.

I saw that after Art felt the opponent's calm defensive response, not only did he not restrain his offensive, but he launched his continuous attack even more violently, straight hooks and thrusts, the simplest four punches, but according to the front and back Different hands and different sequences of combinations lead to countless variations.

Sometimes the jab and straight punch are feinted, fixing the opponent's frame and laying the groundwork for uppercuts to the stomach. Sometimes the front hand feints with uppercuts and the back hand swings through the opponent's lowered arm frame, directly hitting the opponent's face. , and even use the back hand swinging fist and uppercut as a bait to actively expose the openings for the opponent to counterattack, and then use the front hand straight punch to slow down and hit fast, and use the counterattack to destroy the opponent's counterattack.

In front of Art, his opponent was like a bear being teased. Although he had an advantage in height and weight, he was tricked around by Art throughout the game. In the end, he was directly hit by a straight punch on the bridge of the nose and was thrown heavily. Fall to the ground!
KO!

Only 3 minutes into the game, Art took the lead in completing his first round of battle and successfully won the victory!

Seeing Art raising his fists in excitement after knocking down his opponent, Zhang Yang also smiled with satisfaction.

If there are opponents of this level in other audition areas, then the intensity of this main event should not make the promotional slogans I put out become a joke, and it will not bury the King of Fighters event. title.

……

For the next week, Zhang Yang and everyone would come to the gymnasium every afternoon to observe the progress of the auditions.

As time went by, the top three players from the four major regions began to emerge one by one.

Rexon, Arter, Gerrard and others, who were favored by Zhang Yang in advance, have all been promoted.

On the seventh day, the auditions were completely over. Zhang Yang, Lewis and others, who returned to Los Angeles, also received the complete list of the top twelve through fax machines.

However, there is still some time before the start of the main event. This period of time is not only time for the players to rush to Los Angeles, but also time for Zhang Yang to promote the main event.

In the previous auditions, everything had to be kept simple for the sake of efficiency. But in the main competition, all the money left by Zhang Yang in the auditions must be used wisely. The first thing to bear the brunt of is the announcement!
