The referee gave the order, and we pulled away from each other and got into a fighting stance.
I knew the importance of this match with Pablo.
To a certain extent, whether or not I could enter the finals would depend on this.
Otherwise, even if I managed to enter the finals, it would be very difficult for me to become the champion.
I had to pull myself together and defeat Pablo!
This was my only bet at the moment!
Pablo followed up on his victory in the previous round and took the initiative to launch a sharp attack at me.
I didn't dare to meet force with force for the time being.
The fall in the previous round had indeed hurt me greatly.
But for some reason, I felt that the best way to deal with Pablo was to use a high leg attack.
My leg technique had reached a certain level, and in the previous round, I had indeed suppressed my opponent and gained the initiative for a short period of time.
However, I didn't dare to use the subversive chain kick that I had modified.
If I was controlled by Pablo again, it would be difficult to turn the situation around.
It could be seen that Pablo's attacks in this round were particularly sharp and powerful.
Perhaps he wanted to cut the Gordian knot and end the battle as soon as possible.
But I, who had recovered part of my strength, wouldn't give him this chance.
Under the tight defense, I had been actively looking for clues and looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Finally, the opportunity I had been waiting for arrived!
When a small gap appeared in Pablo's attack, I took the opportunity and quickly kicked my left leg towards Pablo's crotch.
Pablo decisively lowered his center of gravity and defended with his arm.
This way, his upper body was momentarily defenseless.
Actually, I didn't use much of my strength in this attack. It was just a feint, and the goal was to bait Pablo into defending.
Almost at the same time, my right leg was ready to attack. I was just waiting for Pablo to defend. My right leg struck the air with an earth-shattering force. It was a perfect downward chop, right in the middle of Pablo's face.
Of course, although the experienced Pablo was caught off guard, he only took two steps back.
It's just that his eyes were blinking a lot because of the impact of my kick.
Now's the time!
With the fruits of my victory in hand, I began my counterattack against Pablok.
Pablo focused on defense and didn't dare to rashly attack.
After taking the initiative, I counterattacked calmly. In a short period of time, we seemed to have reached a tacit understanding.
Of course, this tacit understanding only lasted for less than a minute.
After deciding on my attack plan, I continued to try to win with my legs.
With a turn and a swing, his right leg completed a beautiful arc in the air and struck directly at Pablo's head.
As the speed was too fast and the strength was too great, Pablo didn't dare take it head-on.
Instead, he hurriedly lowered his head to dodge.
My right foot brushed Pabloc's scalp as the wind rushed past.
Although it didn't cause any damage to Pablo, it was clear that Pablo was panicking.
This kick had indeed intimidated him to a certain extent.
After being frightened by this, Pablo wanted to retreat.
I didn't give him a chance and chased after him.
Pablo was worried that I would perform another high kick, so he raised his arm to protect his head.
I deliberately did a few knee strikes in a row to make Pablo mistakenly think that I was going to perform a high kick again.
But in reality, I decisively squatted down and performed a low sweep close to the ground, flying over.
This sweep caught Pablo off guard. He quickly lost his center of gravity and fell heavily to the ground.
Thunderous applause erupted from below the stage.
My morale was greatly boosted. I kept adjusting my posture, preparing to continue attacking the moment Pablo got up.
After Pablo stood up, he seemed to be completely enraged.
He began to perform agile steps, approaching, and approaching again.
Then, he performed a straight bouncing kick at me.
I lowered my arm to block and quickly hit his center with my right foot.
Pablo held his stomach and stepped back to dodge.
In the next half a minute, we attacked and defended each other, each taking the initiative.
Until I found another opportunity and performed a high flying chop, hitting Pablo's face.
This time, Pablo wasn't as lucky as before. He actually fell backward.
The moment he fell to the ground, the bell for the third round rang.
The referee announced: "Guard Zhao Long wins this round!"
When I returned to the resting corner, You Meng gave me another celebratory hug.
Director Qi personally rubbed my shoulders and said, "Good man, this round was beautiful!
Too magical, too magical!
Why didn't you use that chop earlier? "
I was silent for a moment. I forgot about it. I just remembered that I had such a move.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh in unison.
In the fourth round, I continued to maintain and use my advantage, gradually putting Pablo into a passive situation. Under my strong attacks, Pablo's morale kept dropping, and his defense kept showing flaws.
Even so, it wasn't easy to win in one fell swoop.
Winning the fourth round didn't eliminate the suspense of the outcome.
In the fifth round, Pablo began to change his tactics. He became a fierce and powerful boxer, swinging a combination of punches at a high frequency, taking the initiative to attack me.
I responded flexibly. When Pablo's stamina was exhausted to a certain extent, I began to counterattack.
When Pablo swung his fist at me, I raised my arm to block it. At the same time, I kicked Pablo's abdomen with a sharp front kick!
Pablo couldn't take the heavy blow, and his body fell backward.
He hurriedly stepped back to adjust his center of gravity, but he couldn't escape the fate of falling to the ground. He fell heavily.
When he fell, there was no longer any suspense about the outcome.
In the next round, Pablo completely lost his momentum.
When the fifth round was about to end, I performed another high chop and hit Pablo's head.
Pablo fell to the ground and groaned.
The referee went over for a few seconds. Within ten seconds, Pablo struggled a few times, but he couldn't stand up.
In fact, at this moment, my stamina had basically reached its limit.
When the referee raised my right hand and announced that I had won, I felt my whole body go soft. I couldn't control my body anymore.
This battle in the arena was too tiring and too difficult!
More than half of the audience couldn't help but stand up, clapping and shouting.
I saw Director Qi, You Meng, and the others couldn't help but stand up, cheering and jumping.
I suppressed my exhaustion and showed a gratified smile.
Pablo pulled himself together and hugged me. "Congratulations, dear friend. You're the best.
I hope the champion of this competition will be you! "
I patted his back and said from the bottom of my heart, "Thank you, Pablo.
You're great too. "
At this time, Li Zheng and the other security representatives rushed to the arena. They lifted me into the air and spun me around.
When the audience gradually quieted down, a member of the organizing committee on the rostrum began to announce in English, "I'm sorry, but today's competition will end here.
Maybe it was because we didn't consider it well at the beginning, so our competition arrangement wasn't very humane.
Also, there was a small glitch in our backstage.
Therefore, after our discussion, the organizing committee decided to adjourn for a day.
This way, our top four representatives will be able to get more rest and present us with a more perfect visual feast.
We will rearrange the competition schedule and try to arrange the time more reasonably and humanely. We will arrange the order of appearance for each semi-finalist. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Qi suddenly cursed, "What do you mean?
Are you trying to tell us that Zhao Long's result is invalid? "
You Meng also seemed to have realized something. She frowned and said, "How can these Americans be so insidious?
It's so unfair!
Why are they adjourning the competition?
The reason isn't good enough! "
I was also stunned. After all, this was the most difficult match I had ever fought.
My stamina was almost exhausted.
Qiao Ling couldn't help but curse, "Darkness!
We want to protest! "
In his anger, Director Qi cursed, "I'm going to reason with them!"
Then, he wanted to rush to the arena.
I pulled him back and smiled, "Director, let's figure it out first!"
I'm afraid the situation isn't as bad as we thought. They didn't declare the match between Pablo and me invalid.
Director Qi calmed down a little, "But from what he said, doesn't he want to redo it?"
"Redo it."
I shook my head, "Not necessarily."
In the midst of the heated discussion, You Meng seized the opportunity to wave her hand at the referee on the stage.
The referee hesitated for a moment, then walked to the ropes and asked You Meng, "Oh, dear friends, what can I help you with?"
You Meng emotionally expressed her doubts in English, "We all want to know why the organizing committee made this illogical arrangement. What does it mean?"
Does this mean that the results of our previous match will be nullified?
Director Qi also added, "I hope you can give us an explanation."
The referee was stunned for a moment, then shrugged and said, "Oh, friends, don't be so excited.
Let me ask for you. "
"I don't think so."
After that, the referee retreated to the center of the ring and used the intercom to talk to the rostrum. "Dear leaders and judges, I would like to know if you are going to cancel the results of the match between the representatives of Russia and the representatives of the United States."
Are you going to redo it or keep the result? "
The organizing committee members on the rostrum looked at each other.
Everyone below the arena tensed up, waiting for someone to announce the real answer.
Ten seconds later, the host of the organizing committee spoke, "I think a lot of people have misunderstood our intentions.
I want to say that we didn't announce that we were going to cancel the result. We only said that there were some problems backstage, and the arrangement of the matches wasn't very humane.
We need to make adjustments.
Of course, the semi-finalists also need to make adjustments.
I want to emphasize that the result is valid.
The purpose of our exchange meeting is for countries to learn from each other, not to kill each other like on the battlefield.
That's why we can't let you play so many matches in such a short period of time.
You need to rest. Only when you have enough rest can you perform at your best. Only then can you give everyone a perfect match.
That's all I want to say. Please don't misunderstand our intentions. "
