"Lin Ran, give up! Skeeter is notorious in the sparring world, there's no way you can win against him!" Liu Anming looked at Lin Ran and kept persuading Lin Ran to give up the match.
"I want to win!" Lin Ran was clearly determined.
"For what exactly? Fighting Skitter is tantamount to looking for death, are you doing it for that crappy prize money or that crappy trophy?" Liu Anming was a bit agitated.
Twelve years ago, they were in their early twenties, young and vigorous, rely on sparring competitions to make money to make a living, with a passion and unremitting struggle gradually became famous, and then was the professional team to see, began to participate in some large-scale competitions, but also one after another has won a few awards, the career began to move towards the pinnacle.
But also the peak of the career, Lin Ran somehow suddenly determined to withdraw from the world of sparring. As together from the barren mountains out of the same village friends, Liu Anming always want to understand, ate endless suffering and tired to have today's achievements, is in the golden period of his why choose to quit. No matter how to persuade, even if the fierce quarrel and rebuke, Liu Anming ultimately failed to let him back to his heart, Lin Ran gone! He did not leave any contact information, as if the world has evaporated, no news.
After twelve years, Liu Anming had retired from competition and become a coach. Now Lin Ran found him again, old friends reunion, Liu Anming exceptionally happy, did not complain Lin Ran that year's insistence on leaving. Just Lin Ran proposed to re-enter the ring, the face of such a request Liu Anming again and again hesitation ......
The twelve years Lin Ran whether to continue to train not to mention, from the age alone, the advantage has been lost in half, and Lin Ran to participate in the once every four years of the important international tournament, the strongest like a forest!
But Liu Anming knows Lin Ran's temperament and knows that he can't argue with him, so he can only assist him in intensive training, hoping to last a few more rounds. Liu Anming also asked Lin Ran why he suddenly quit back then and what is the reason for his current comeback. Lin Ran did not answer but said firmly, "I want to win!" According to past experience these three words, if not to play a very important game, Lin Ran is absolutely not say out, Liu Anming can feel the importance of this game, and then linked to the previous unusual behavior, can not help but guess repeatedly ......
Liu Anming in the pre-tournament to help Lin Ran constantly high-intensity training, trying to let Lin Ran Recover the state of the peak period, but to be compared with the young time obviously there is still a big gap, to Lin Ran's current state, can enter the quarter-finals would have been a miracle.
Lin Ran exceeded Liu Anming's expectations and carried on to the final! What conviction made Lin Ran so persistent, Liu Anming was puzzled. Every match Lin Ran was fighting with his life, no matter how much he was injured, he insisted on getting up, especially in the quarter-finals, Lin Ran's two ribs were almost broken, the pain he had to endure, perhaps only Lin Ran himself could understand. In the semi-finals, Lin Ran tried his best to win by just one point.
But the opponent in the final will be quite different in terms of strength and physical condition. Lin Ran will face Scott, who is known as a tough guy in the western sparring world and has been criticized by the media for blowing out his opponent's right kidney in the ring. Lin Ran had used all his strength in this tournament to barely make it to the finals, and was currently battered and bruised. And only one of Scott's opponents made it to the third round from the preliminary to the final.
Lin Ran had won the same tournament twelve years ago, but the years have passed, and Skeeter is just like he was back then. The fight was hyped as a "veteran vs. rookie who will win?" It was as if it was already predestined. Lin Ran in the second round again and again by the pain, down, get up, and then pain, down ......, such repeated knocked down to the opponent and the audience to bring great shock, can not help but let a person ask down to the ground is what faith to support him? Lin Ran tough to carry to the third round, in the face of this indomitable spirit, the opponent greased up. Liu Anming more than once wanted to apply for the termination of the match, thinking of Lin Ran has long been explained, unless death, or if you raise the white flag this life is broken, so can only watch Lin Ran was knocked out by the opponent, sent to the hospital!
The next day, Lin Ran came to the cemetery, caressing the tombstone some downcast, said: "Hao Er, Dad did not get the championship, you will not be disappointed, right?" Lin Ran, who has always been calm, couldn't help but leave tears in his eyes. Lin Ran recalled the reason why he quit: "His pregnant wife had a car accident before she gave birth, but the baby survived. At that time, Liu Anming's career was just brilliant, this incident hit him very hard, he felt that he didn't fulfill his husband's responsibility to accompany his wife, after that, he silently chose to quit and focus on raising Lin Hao."
When Lin Hao was very young, Lin Ran began to teach him some of the fundamentals of sparring, saying some of his own glorious past, so from a young Lin Hao worshiped Lin Ran as a champion, as a hero. However, the sky has its unpredictable winds and clouds, at that time the child was only eleven years old and found out the terminal disease, at this time Lin Ran once again suffered a blow. However, when the child was alive, by chance he heard the child repeating his dream words: "Daddy wants to win, daddy wants to be the champion." Lin Ran then took these words as the child's last wish, thinking hard to fight desire to realize him, perhaps also because of this belief let him support ......
While Lin Ran lost, he will always be the champion in the heart of the child, always ......
