Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 232 Stop
Shiraishi's "big talk" made some karate masters who were at the scene or watching the live broadcast of the game feel uncomfortable, and some even complained - who the hell did you say has a winning rate of less than 50%?
Of course, it is only “some”. After all, many so-called “celebrity” players have competed with Shiraishi. It’s just that Shiraishi is not a professional player, so there is no obvious record of his performance in the ring.

however……

As soon as Bai Shi appeared on the stage, Jamaldin in the audience was completely speechless - Jamaldin didn't know what others thought, but he knew at the scene... the style is different!

"Is this guy...really practicing karate? Are his movements...agile?" Jamaldin's expression froze.

However, his first reaction was that this guy didn't practice karate at all, and he was a master of brute force!

"I don't just practice karate, but I have practiced karate before and I'm very agile. Even if he has the same body shape as me, I may not be able to win." Maeda Satoshi is very confident in himself, and even... feels that he has a good chance of winning.

When Jamaldin heard this comment, he showed an expression of disbelief - this boss only needed to be "agile" to defeat him. If his fighting skills could really be comparable to Maeda Satoshi, wouldn't he be able to crush him?

……

On the field, Shiraishi's hair was flying, he was not wearing any head protection, and the gloves on his hands also had obvious marks of splicing...

Shiraishi only prepared the uniform!

And the organizers didn't prepare such large protective gear...

The boxing gloves are for protecting the opponent. Although Bai Shi is confident that he can control the strength when fighting with these players, he still asks someone to make a temporary pair of boxing gloves - they are basically the same size as the headgear of ordinary players!
As for the headgear...

Then there is really nothing we can do!

But it doesn't matter. After all, this is a ring, and the karate tournament also has standard rules. It is not allowed to attack the opponent's head with fists. As for using legs...

Among the four male and female champions and runners-up, even the tallest one, Kyogoku Makoto, is only as tall as Shiraishi's chest!

Even if he was allowed to kick with a high kick, it would be difficult for him to reach Shiraishi's head. Even if he was allowed to punch his head, he would probably have to jump up to do it...

There is no point in wearing this head protection.

The five contestants came up and faced each other and bowed. Because it was a coaching competition, the four contestants bowed deeper.

"It's okay, just attack with all your might." Shiraishi saw that Wada Haruna and the "male player A" from Kanagawa Prefecture were still a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted them.

"Really?" Yang Nai asked Xiaolan in a low voice - she didn't know Shiraishi, but had only heard of "Rice Flower Red Hair" and was not sure.

"It's okay!" Xiaolan nodded firmly.

Not to mention the distant past, when Xiaolan was at Suzuki's house yesterday, she even made some gestures with Shiraishi, and the result was...

Bai Shi only used one hand and clapped his hands to defend himself and easily resolved all her attacks. Even the tiger toe kick felt heavier when it landed on Bai Shi's palm than kicking a sandbag normally!

"Let's go for it!" Yangnai and Xiaolan have fought more than once, so they can be considered "no acquaintance without fighting", so this time he invites Xiaolan to join him.

Including "Male Player A", who also stepped forward at this time...

Kyogoku Shinya took a few steps forward, but... just to avoid embarrassing the other three, he actually kept wandering around the outer circle and didn't get close, as if he didn't want to bully the weak with his numbers.

but……

In this way, the pressure that Xiaolan and the other two put on Shiraishi is really too little!
"Male player A" is not as good as Xiaolan and Haruna, and Shiraishi is just equivalent to "two and a half Xiaolans".

Since it was a "guide", Bai Shi deliberately fed the three people's moves, allowing them to attack, and he just clapped his hands to defend...

“The range of this defense…” Jamaldin’s face became serious upon seeing this.

Not only is Shiraishi's move as "easy" and "easy to handle" as it looks, but... his defense range is also extremely large!
The long arms of the top power forward in the NBA not only made it difficult for Shiraishi to defend three people at once, but also prevented the three people from even getting close to him.

It was not until the three men's physical strength had declined, that is, they had almost performed well, that Bai Shi began to fight back!
call--

A punch came at him, and male contestant A closed his eyes out of fear. However, the next moment, the punch that landed on him was much lighter than he had imagined...

"In a one-on-three situation like this, can we still stop..." Jamaldin certainly understands how complicated this is.

Inch-stop karate means to remove the force when the attack reaches an inch of the opponent's body. It is a "point-to-point" fighting style.

However, in actual combat, unless the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, it is very rare to achieve a true stop, and later more and more restrictive rules were born...

However, what Bai Shi is showing now is the standard "inch stop". It's not that he doesn't use force. On the contrary, every punch he throws is not only round but also full of momentum. However... just when he is one inch close to the opponent's body, he will suddenly release the force, which is undoubtedly more difficult than retracting the force when attacking!

The degree of this inch stop is not to "knock down the opponent", but to be much lighter. Even if Xiaolan and Yangnai, who weigh less than 50 kilograms, were hit, they would only stagger - scoring, not knocking down... According to the previous agreement with the referee, Shiraishi and each player will be scored separately, and if each person loses eight points in total, they will be eliminated...

In the end, not only did Bai Shi not use his legs, but he also relied on scoring two points and one point to clear out the three people one by one.

Apart from the feeling of powerlessness as their attacks were easily neutralized, the three of them had no idea how powerful Bai Shi was!

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on the only surviving person, Kyogoku Makoto...

Knowing Kyogoku Makoto's strength, Xiaolan and the other three did not think that he was "too arrogant" or "sitting back and watching himself lose face" - although they did not think he could win, but... at least Kyogoku Makoto's strength was enough to conquer them, making the three feel that he was qualified to ask for a one-on-one fight!
And Kyogoku Makoto...

At the beginning, he was indeed a little arrogant and didn't want to bully the weak with his numbers, even though his opponent weighed twice as much as he did!
However, seeing Shiraishi's exquisite Inch Stop Karate made him deeply aware that even without considering the physical differences, there was probably a gap between the two sides in pure technology!
At least Kyogoku thinks...

Like Bai Shi, he could still use clapping to defend and drain the three people's strength, but his defense range was not as large as Bai Shi's.

As for the following inch-stopping, it was very difficult. After all, these three people were not weak, especially the two girls. If they were besieged, they would be in a panic and would inevitably attack more heavily.

Shiraishi's performance clearly showed that he did not feel any pressure...

"Mr. Shiraishi, next... please give it your all. I want to know the gap between us!" Kyogoku Makoto took a deep breath and saluted solemnly again.

"Well, just do your best." Bai Shi said indifferently.

As for the heart...

Bai Shi could agree to let him use his "skills" freely, but he absolutely dared not let him use his strength freely!

Otherwise, his image as director would be damaged - is it a good look to beat up a high school student?
As for "skills", there is also a gap between the two sides now!

If it was half a year ago, the gap would not be too big. Probably as long as Kyogoku Makoto played a hundred professional games, the difference between him and Shiraishi half a year ago would only be in "real combat experience".

But now...

Shiraishi's fighting skills have truly reached perfection, and he also has a high-level "I-ryu" - although he only uses karate moves, the subtleties such as vision and force techniques can still reveal the difference.

Kyogoku Makoto was completely "calm" at this time, and then he opened his eyes and rushed towards Shiraishi!
Whether it was momentum, skills, or strength, they all showed differences right from the start...

"Hmm?" Jamaldin also made a slight sound at this time, realizing that this young man was not simple. For a moment, he even felt that the old was about to be replaced by the new.

Bai Shi was still clapping his hands in defense, but...

The defense range has been reduced!
Although there is only one opponent, Kyogoku Shin, if we continue to maintain the previous "wide-area defense", we will underestimate the enemy...

Because of the difference in strength, Bai Shi still doesn't look like he's putting in much effort, but his movements appear to be in a normal defensive posture!
And at this time, Bai Shi did not give the opponent a chance to exert his full strength and exhaust his physical strength like he did just now, but instead attacked and defended...

"Huh? Is brother-in-law tired?" Sonoko questioned Shiraishi's endurance from the sidelines.

Although she didn't know any fighting skills, she watched more often in order to cheer for Xiaolan, and she could get a general idea - Shiraishi's strength and momentum seemed to be not as strong as before?
Sitting on Sonoko's left and right were Maori Kogoro and Kisaki Eri, who didn't want to be together...

Kogoro, a judo master, answered for Shiraishi at this time: "No, it's not a physical problem... When that guy faced Xiaolan and the others just now, because they all stopped their punches by inches, they looked majestic when they threw punches, and they only relaxed their strength at the last moment. But now against the men's champion, he can't stop his punches accurately, so he can only relax his strength from the beginning."

Yuanzi was confused and concluded, "So... it means that less water is released, but water is still being released?"

"Well, you can say that." Kogoro nodded.

Kogoro could see it, Jamaldin, Maeda Satoshi, and even Kyogoku Makoto could sense it, but...

Now Kyogoku Makoto can't complain about anything!
After being punched, he realized firsthand...

If the opponent really uses all his strength, then there will be no need to count the points. One "effective" move will make you unable to stand up!
This kind of confrontation also fully demonstrated Kyogoku Makoto's strength...

"It seems that Mr. Shiraishi's vision is not wrong." Maeda Satoshi said with emotion at this time.

Jamaldin didn't say anything this time, Kyogoku really acted...

Amazing indeed!
Of course, his current silence is more because of Bai Shi.

If Kyogoku Makoto's performance made this top master feel "bright before his eyes" and "a surging wave of hope", then Shiraishi's performance... made him feel "dark before his eyes" and "extremely depressed"!
can only say……

Fortunately, he is not a professional player!
