In recent years, a large number of outstanding athletes have emerged in the ring of Free Fighting in China. They are at all levels, every game, they are all doing their best, surprising us, and unconsciously, the post-00s have stood up! They no longer seem to be the children of our memories, and they have been able to play their skills in the ring with ease. The 70kg level has always been a controversial level, and it seems that everyone has their own god in their hearts. But today we want to talk about this post-00s who are in the limelight - Luo Chao, a "handsome white dragon" who is only 21 years old.
I once asked him, what are your goals? He was not yet 20 years old when he said, "I'm going to be in the top ten in the world!"
The first time I saw Luo Chao, it was in a four-person game in 2018, he was a fledgling, with messy short hair and simple clothing, appeared at the scene of the game. It didn't attract attention under the ring, but above the ring it drew a lot of applause, and there was no doubt that he won the four-man race that night. At that time, his body was full of green and childish, but his eyes were extremely firm. His skills at that time were already superior among the athletes who competed together, and what he lacked was competition experience. In that B-class game at that time, his height advantage made up for the disadvantage of strength, coupled with the style of daring to fight, making him unmatched in the ring. This is his appearance, the beginning of his standing in front of everyone.
The body proportions are excellent, the technical level is excellent, the strength is lacking, but the future can be expected. This is Luo Chao, the Luo Chao of that time, and the Luo Chao of today.
When he said goodbye, Luo Chao's body was taller than before, and his body dimension seemed to be larger, but he still looked thinner than the athletes of the same level. However, in that year, he represented Shenzhen Shengliren and the club in the Kunlun Decisive Professional League, winning consecutive victories. Then he participated in the Wulinfeng National Eight-Man Competition, and after the draw, Luo Chao played Against Li Shiyuan in the first round. As we all know, Li Shiyuan won the 2016 National Free Fighting Championship 75kg Championship Gold Belt, nicknamed "Desperate Sanlang", and his strength is not small. Dare to fight, and full of strength, this game, Luo Chao won very difficult, it can be said that three sets of narrow victory over the opponent. In the game, from a technical point of view, Luo Chao's accuracy is of course better, and the output frequency of the two Luo Chao is much more than the other party. So, what is the reason for such a high-density and accurate output, but it does not cause the other party to read seconds or even ko? The reason seems to be locked in the power. In short, Luo Chao's three punches hit Li Shiyuan's head, and its force was similar to Li Shiyuan's accurate output of a punch, so that after this game, Luo Chao in the backcourt was very tired!
Then, in the semi-finals, Luo Chao met Samurai Jie, who is also a rising star in China. It is worth mentioning that this game is very exciting, the two sides are similar in shape, Wu Shijie is in the 70kg class, the same as Luo Chao, and also belongs to the athletes who do not have an advantage in strength. This also directly led to the similar tactics of the two, beautiful and accurate technology, making the applause in the audience continuously. But as we all know, a beautiful game consumes the physical strength of both sides, and the two sides have no chance to breathe in the whole game, and finally through the referee's judgment, Luo Chao is also a narrow victory!
In the final, the firefight between Luo Chao and Liu Lei became the focus of the night. Liu Lei, who fought three battles in one night, in the previous game, there was a KO situation, and Luo Chao fought for two battles before standing opposite Liu Lei. What we can see is that at that moment, it was a great challenge for Luo Chao's physical fitness, and for Liu Lei, this challenge seemed to be smaller. However, Liu Lei belongs to the strength type player, of course, this is also relative to Luo Chao, Liu Lei's advantages, strength must be one of them. So in the game that night, Luo Chao finally narrowly defeated Liu Lei and lost his hand with the golden belt.
In general, Luo Chao must have strength, and Luo Chao at that time was just 19 years old. At the age of 19, he stood in China's top professional ring and competed with several of China's top athletes, and his strength was beyond doubt. And in a group of excellent people, being able to enter the finals is to let everyone see the efforts of this teenager!
In the Kunlun duel ring, there was also a match between Luo Chao and Lu Jiahui. In that game, Lu Jiahui, who was born in Sanda, had the advantage of strength, but his physical strength and skills were not as good as Luo Chao.'s. Although several heavy punches hit Luo Chao, in the second half of the game, the physical speed dropped, making it impossible for his strength to play normally. Luo Chao, with better skills, eventually won the game. But not long after, the encounter between Luo Chao and Ouyang Feng seemed to let us see another side. Ouyang Feng's body shape is very similar to Lu Jiahui, and he is also one of the dark horses standing in the professional ring in recent years, with strength and technology, while his physical strength has not shown obvious disadvantages, so Luo Chao has lost to Ouyang Feng twice in a year. However, once, twice, luo chao must not be able to win Ouyang Feng? Not really! In addition to the competition at the strength level, Ouyang Feng was slightly superior, and in the technical competition, Luo Chao did not lose anyone. Yes, among today's domestic 70kg athletes, Luo Chao's technology is actually not lost to anyone, and he has the strength to stand in the same ring with anyone. Then it goes back to what we said at the beginning, he just lacks strength, nothing more.
As an adult, he reached the top five of the national championships, a result that no one else had worked so hard to touch. In the following years, he fought in countless professional rings, and stood in front of everyone with all his strength, which was well known. People seem to have forgotten which battle Luo Chao's blockbuster battle is, but when he stands in the same ring with countless opponents who are above him, we don't seem to often think that this teenager is only 21 years old now! To be precise, he is talented, but what can sustain him to go a long way, of course, is not enough talent. And what I believe that he can look forward to in the future is nothing more than watching him come all the way, knowing his hard work along the way, and at the same time clearly seeing the beginning of a teenager. It is his hard work and self-motivation, and it is also his all-out efforts to complete himself step by step!
In the end, this future expectation includes his early 20s. This youth makes the future full of possibilities and hopes. At the same time, there is also his constantly improving technology, every appearance is eye-catching, the kind of person who is unswerving and down-to-earth for his dreams, and is determined to accomplish something, he will definitely go to the top of the mountain to see...
