Ling Zhi was a little confused. Why did he, Jin Zhen, think that he would definitely promise him not to defend?
However, Ling Zhi thought about what Shi Yulu said to him last night and calmed down. Just as he was thinking about responding to Jin Zhen, Jin Zhen seemed to have expected it and began to raise his voice:
"I have applied to the referee to adjust my handicap to -40, creating some space for you to get started, how about it?"
Oh? It seems like this guy is well prepared. He doesn’t hesitate to lower his handicap but also wants to fight an offensive war with himself?
While Ling Zhi was thinking secretly, Xie Yixin came over and explained to Ling Zhi:
"Of course, the temporary reduction in the handicap was determined based on Jin Zhen's previous games and with his consent. However, I don't agree with his idea of an offensive war. This point is still up to you.
....."
"Hey? What's the matter, Lao Xie, don't be so old-fashioned. Offensive battles are so interesting. It's not a passive game and it doesn't violate the rules. What are you afraid of? Besides, ask them, who doesn't like watching offensive battles? Ah?
Tell me?"
Jin Zhen pointed at the surrounding audience and said.
Xie Yixin frowned. He didn't like Jin Zhen's method of inciting the masses, but he had to admit that what Jin Zhen said was not unreasonable.
The offensive style of play is indeed conducive to the promotion of billiards, because only crisp ringing bags and accurate goals can bring an adrenaline-filled experience to the audience! Only goals can attract more people who don’t understand billiards.
See the charm of this sport more intuitively.
On the other hand, if two people defend each other on the table and fail to score, beginners may quickly lose interest in this sport.
The reason is very simple, because in the game of billiards where there is no communication with each other, if you don't score, it will be difficult for beginners to guess your specific intention. If you can't guess, you will naturally not imitate, and if you don't imitate, you will not.
lose interest.
Furthermore, it is not uncommon for two people to tacitly agree not to defend but to attack in professional competitions. WST will not prohibit it but is happy to see it happen.
Therefore, Jin Zhen's request is not that excessive, but he just raised it openly today.
Xie Yixin was a little confused. It stands to reason that he could not be too biased towards a certain player subjectively. Just now he directly stated that he did not agree with Jin Zhen's proposal, which was considered to have refuted Jin Zhen's face. If he now persuades Ling Zhi not to listen to Jin Zhen in a fair way,
If you make suggestions, then it will appear that you are too biased towards Lexus.
So Xie Yixin did not say anything, but turned to look at Ling Zhi, hoping to hear Ling Zhi's opinion. He had already made up his mind. If Ling Zhi disagreed, then he must speak up for Ling Zhi on the rules.
In a word, Lexus will be prevented from being affected by the comments of the surrounding audience again.
According to Xie Yixin's idea, Lingzhi would most likely not agree. After all, he had seen Lingzhi's playing style in previous rounds, confirming that he was still in the beginner stage.
But what he didn't expect was that after thinking for a while, Ling Zhi nodded and agreed to Jin Zhen's proposal.
Even Jin Zhen was a little surprised now. He thought he might have to spend a lot of time to convince Ling Zhi, but he didn't expect this kid to agree so readily!
That's fine, so there's no need to proceed as planned, and it saves a lot of effort.
Jin Zhen silently looked at a few people in the crowd and nodded to them calmly. If he had known it would go so smoothly, he wouldn't have to make such detailed arrangements. Oh, it's really laborious!
In addition to Jin Zhen, Shi Yulu who was watching the battle was also very surprised. She was about to stand up and ask what happened, but she was immediately stopped by Zhao Shiyan who was sitting beside him.
"Uh, why are you pulling me, Shi Yan? Aren't you curious why Ling Zhi agreed to Jin Zhen?"
Zhao Shiyan smiled and said softly:
"Don't worry, Ling Zhi has his own way."
"Oh, so Lexus has discussed it with you in advance?"
"No, he didn't tell me anything."
"Ah? Then why do you say he has his own way?"
"Because I know him well. He never fights an unprepared battle."
"Tch, aren't you afraid that he will overturn the car?"
"It's okay. If the car overturns, I will protect him and won't let him suffer at the hands of Jin Zhen."
"Huh? I really don't understand where your crazy confidence comes from."
Zhao Shiyan smiled and said nothing and began to watch the game seriously. Trust is something that is formed over time and cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.
In the first game, Jin Zhen kicked off the ball.
Although Jin Zhen said that both of them should use an offensive style of play, when there is no ball to attack, they cannot give opportunities to their opponents without scruples, so Jin Zhen still uses the common N-word kick to run the white ball.
Returned to the low-scoring area.
However, running the ball is all about running the ball, and Jin Zhen is quite interesting. He drives the ball quite loosely, and Ling Zhi has opportunities to attack from far away from the left and right bottom pockets.
Ling Zhi did not hesitate, aimed at a red ball near the bottom pocket, and hit the white ball with all his strength!
The red ball fell into the bag, and the scene burst into thunderous applause!
At this moment, Jin Zhen was dumbfounded. When did this kid become so perverted? Didn't he beat one and lose one yesterday?
But Jin Zhen couldn't think about it. Soon, the white ball stopped and just reached the middle of the table, which was suitable for playing blue balls. Ling Zhi once again used a medium and low shot to hit the blue ball, and the white ball went down and dispersed the red ball.
Piles of balls!
This... this is too loose!
Jin Zhen tried hard to maintain the expression on his face. The red balls scattered on the table seemed to be silently mocking him.
Has this kid been hiding his clumsiness?
No. Yesterday, although the foreigner had some disabilities, his level was still good. There is no reason for this kid not to show off his offensive skills yesterday. Otherwise, if he fell behind 0:2 first, wouldn't he be afraid of overturning behind him?
Jin Zhen couldn't understand. He could only sit there and watch blankly as Ling Zhi collected the red balls one by one.
In less than 10 minutes, Lexus had already scored 70 points!
As the red ball in the last shot failed to score, Jin Zhen nodded helplessly to the referee, signaling that he would admit defeat in the first game.
No wonder this guy readily promised me not to defend but only to attack as soon as I got here. It turned out he was really well prepared.
Jin Zhen was a little shaken at this moment. He even wanted to cancel his previous suggestion. But he had just praised Haikou in front of so many people, and now he has turned his back on it? Jin Zhen's face is not that thick-skinned yet.
I can only hold my nose and accept it first. It's only the first game now, and there are chances in the future.
In the second game, Lexus kicked off.
After the kick-off, although the white ball was very close to the top pocket, the bottom pocket on the right side was still open for attack. Jin Zhen didn’t think much and directly hit the red ball from the far end and knocked the red ball away.
Piles of balls!
The next plot seemed to be exactly the same as the previous game. Jin Zhen gradually collected the red balls on the table around the black balls, and before he knew it, he had reached 80 points.
At this moment, Jin Zhen was already in the mood for playing. Although there were some difficult red balls, he was still able to maintain this set of connecting rods with his accuracy. In the end, Jin Zhen collected all the red balls and colored balls and finished with a single stroke of 139.
The high score won the game.
This is the highest single score in this tournament!
Jin Zhen glanced at Ling Zhi proudly. At this moment, he felt that his condition was surprisingly good! He had never felt that his stroke was as smooth and silky as it was today.
If we can maintain this state in the future, there will be no suspense about winning!
Jin Zhen leaned on the back of his chair, humming a tune while watching the referee swing the ball. But when everything seemed to be going smoothly, he was not aware of his own problems at all.
...
After the 1:1 draw, for Ling Zhi, there was no disturbance in his heart.
After returning home last night, Ling Zhi trained his long platform overnight. Of course, he did not want to sharpen his gun before the battle, because no matter how hard he sharpened, it was impossible to polish the accuracy of the long platform to an extremely high level in one night.
He mainly wanted to consciously control the path of the white ball when hitting the long table. For this reason, he did not even care about the success rate of the long table attack.
After a night of training, he was finally able to ensure that after hitting the long red ball, the white ball would pass under the black ball and return to the low-scoring area smoothly.
So at the beginning of today, Lingzhi did not hesitate and directly chose to attack the red ball on the far table.
Naturally, he didn't expect to score, but even if he didn't, he couldn't leave the white ball under the table!
Fortunately, one night's training was very effective. At first, Lingzhi had a good feel for the separation angle of the red ball goal from the long platform, and he actually scored directly from the bag. Even he was a little surprised!
And because his stroke was too low, after scoring the red ball, the white ball failed to return to the low-scoring area, and instead went to near the center.
To outsiders, it seemed that Lingzhi wanted to hit the red ball directly and call it a blue ball, but Lingzhi himself knew that this shot belonged to the white ball and he made a mistake.
Because once the red ball cannot be scored, it will be useless no matter how well the white ball moves to the blue ball. Instead, it will leave Jin Zhen with a good half billiard attack opportunity.
However, since he scored, there is no need to be pretentious. Lingzhi did not stop and directly used the separation angle of the blue ball to rush the white ball towards the ball pile.
And this time, the luck was ridiculously good. Not only were the red balls scattered, but the pockets on the left and right sides of the black ball were also open, which did not pose an obstacle to Ling Zhi's continuous scoring.
That's why he was able to win the game with 70 points in one shot.
Jin Zhen thought that Ling Zhi came prepared, and that was indeed the case. It was just that he was able to score a score with one shot at the beginning. In fact, there was some luck in it. After all, k-ball is full of uncontrollable factors.
After that, although Jin Zhen also regained the game in the second game with a shot of 139 points, Lingzhi did not feel a lot of pressure because Jin Zhen's clear shot was also affected by luck!
If Jin Zhen hadn't scattered the red ball pile and magically walked to the colored ball after he scored the red ball, then his score of 139 might not have happened.
However, except for a few people such as Shi Yulu and Zhao Shiyan, most of the audience did not have a deep understanding of the situation just now.
All they knew was that they had seen two high-quality games!
In the third game, Jin Zhen kicked off the ball.
After the kick-off, Jin Zhen once again left a chance to attack from the long bench, and he didn't seem to care whether the chance he left was good or bad.
After he teed off, he sat back in his seat, as if to say, if you have the guts, you can try another one? If you dare to score, I dare to sit there with you all the time. I don't believe it, you really can't score every shot.
Won't make a mistake!
Sure enough, Lingzhi still chose to attack, but this time, he misjudged the separation angle. The red ball deviated too far from the pocket and did not even touch the corner of the pocket.
Haha! Here it comes!
Jin Zhen laughed wildly in his heart.
However, the next moment, his face became stiff again little by little.
