After Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan hugged Wen for a while, they left Huada hand in hand.
According to the usual habit of the two of them, after running, they would go directly to coach Xingchen's home to practice, but today...
"Speaking of which, Shi Yan, we haven't played billiards together for a long time. We've been busy training during this time."
"That's really awesome. How about going to Xingyu for a while?"
"Okay, but why don't we try something new today?"
"New way to play? What?"
Zhao Shiyan said with interest.
"Speaking of which, have you heard of Kailun?"
"Karen? I don't know this person."
"Oh, it's my fault that I didn't make it clear to you. It's Kai Lun, not Karen. Open Kai Lun, Kunlun's Lun, is a kind of French billiards, not a certain person."
"Oh, that's it. What's the way to play this 'Kailun'?"
"Kailun is a kind of billiard ball without a pocket. The way to play it is to let the cue ball touch other balls continuously. I can't remember the specific rules. I'll find it for you."
After saying that, Ling Zhi let go of Zhao Shiyan's hand, picked up his phone, and started searching for Kailun's rules.
After searching for a while, he was about to talk to Zhao Shiyan, but when he looked up, he suddenly found that Zhao Shiyan had disappeared at some point!
Ling Zhi was stunned for a moment. He looked around, and after making sure he didn't see Zhao Shiyan, he gradually became anxious.
"Did you lose Shi Yan just by looking at his cell phone?"
He quickly called Zhao Shiyan, but he didn't answer the phone after ringing for a long time. Ling Zhi couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
He quickly stopped a few passers-by and asked if they had seen a short-haired girl wearing a white top.
The first two passers-by said they didn't know. When asked about the third passer-by, the man gave Ling Zhi a thoughtful look, chuckled and moved his chin towards a milk tea shop not far away, but it didn't take much.
say.
Ling Zhi was confused when he was concerned. Although he didn't know why, he rushed towards the milk tea shop without asking any questions, calling Zhao Shiyan's name as he ran, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't hear.
The man behind him who showed him the way shook his head slightly and muttered to himself:
"Young people these days are really good at playing."
After running into the store, Ling Zhi was about to carefully identify the people inside, but suddenly he was covered by someone behind him:
"Lingzhi, have you come to see me?"
After hearing the voice, Ling Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around, touched Zhao Shiyan's hair, and said with a smile:
"You damn girl, you suddenly disappeared and made me anxious to death. Don't scare me like this again, okay?"
Zhao Shiyan nodded obediently. Of course she heard Ling Zhi's voice calling her just now and knew that he was really worried about her.
She suddenly felt a little regretful. She just had an idea and wanted to take advantage of Lingzhi to check his phone and hide in the blind corner behind the entrance of the milk tea shop to play hide and seek with Lingzhi.
But seeing the tears flashing slightly in the corners of Ling Zhi's eyes, she immediately realized that she was still too willful.
"Um, Lingzhi, right...I'm sorry, what I just did was a little too much, and I will never do that again."
"Ah? I don't mean to blame you. I just want to say that if you want to play hide-and-seek in the future, tell me in advance and I will definitely play with you. Otherwise, I would have thought you were captured by the bad guys."
"Hahahaha, Lingzhi, you are too funny. What kind of bad guy can capture me? If it's Mengyao, it's right for you to be so worried, but for me, I can definitely knock down the bad guy with one punch!"
Ling Zhi thought the same thing. Your heroic deeds of Miss Zhao beating Bai Ming and pushing Gao Xiangyu really proved that your strength is not low. If a bad guy really encounters you, it's really unclear who will win.
"Speaking of which, the place you chose is pretty good. Looking from the outside, I really didn't find a blind spot in this milk tea shop. That's right, Shi Yan, you've become smarter."
Zhao Shiyan scalped Ling Zhi angrily:
"How are you talking, Ling Zhi! What does it mean to become smarter? I'm already very smart, okay!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Heroine Zhao is brave, resourceful and capable in both civil and military affairs. She is a role model for our generation."
"Hmph! That's pretty much it."
After the two of them teased each other for a while, they bought 2, no, 3 cups of milk tea and walked towards Xingyu Billiards.
When they arrived at Xingyu, there were still as many people as usual. Ling Zhi took a quick look and found that there was only one nine-ball table left. He was about to take Zhao Shiyan to open the table when Li Mengyao, wearing a crisp black formal work clothes, came over:
"Shi Yan, you guys are here. If you want to play ball, you can wait a moment. There will be a middle eight ball table available soon."
Of course Li Mengyao knew that Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan were here to play No. 8. After all, coach Xingchen had a Snooker table at home, so there was no need to come here if they wanted to play Snooker.
Of course, it's possible that he made a special trip to see her, because it had been like this several times in the past. The two of them just came in to sit and watch her work without playing ball. It's just that Li Mengyao couldn't be so shameless as to ask directly.
"Well, no, no, just help us open the nine-ball table. Today I'm going to try a brand new way of playing with Shi Yan."
Li Mengyao's eyes lit up and she became interested. After helping the two of them set up the table, she looked around and saw that there were no customers around who needed to set the ball. She also came to the table to see what the new style of play mentioned by Ling Zhi was.
What.
Of course, Li Mengyao also received milk tea brought to her by Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan. She was too embarrassed to drink milk tea openly during working hours, so she had to hide it at the front desk and drink it later.
After coming back, Li Mengyao saw that Ling Zhi took the No. 1 ball and the No. 8 ball to the middle of the lower half of the table, leaving a certain gap. The line connecting the two balls was perpendicular to the side bank and parallel to the bottom bank.
Then he placed the white ball on the kickoff line, indicating that Zhao Shiyan could kick off.
Zhao Shiyan had roughly heard Ling Zhi talk about Kailun's rules on the way, so he was eager to try it and see how far he could go.
I saw her aiming at the thin side of the No. 9 ball, using her low shot and hitting the No. 9 ball. After hitting the No. 9 ball, the white ball passed between the two balls. After hitting the two balls, she successfully solved the No. 1 ball and got a point!
"Yeah! Lingzhi, am I strong?"
"It's quite impressive. It seems that you have been very precise in controlling the line recently. But having said that, in real Kelun billiards, after hitting the first ball, the white ball needs to be touched three times or more before it can be hit.
The second ball, you just touched 2 balls, strictly speaking it doesn’t count.”
"Ah! I was just thinking about the route, how could I forget this!"
"It's okay. In fact, Kailun billiards is very difficult. If you are not a professional player, it is difficult to grasp the route after the white ball hits the three banks. It is our first time to play, it is simpler, as long as the white ball can find a way to touch these two
A ball counts as a score, okay?"
"Okay, okay, this is quite fun."
Li Mengyao watched the two playing and chatting from the side, and she gradually understood the rules of the so-called "Kailun Billiards".
It is very simple to say, the purpose is to let the white ball touch the other two balls on the table one after another. Of course, the white ball must touch these two balls personally. If it is a pass, it does not count.
In this way, if you complete it, it will be counted as a Kareun, and then continue to try. If you do not complete the Kareun in the middle, switch to the opponent to hit the ball.
In order to increase the difficulty, the real Kailun game has set some restrictions. For example, as Lexus said just now, the white ball must touch more than 3 banks. Another example is that each player needs to hit the cue ball differently. In other words, Lexus originally played
If the ball is white, Zhao Shiyan should choose one of the other two balls as his cue ball.
However, Lexus has removed all these restrictions in order to reduce the difficulty for the two of them.
Li Mengyao, who was familiar with Snooker, began to compare the difficulty of Snooker and Kailun unconsciously in her mind.
If you just look at grasping the white-ball line, Kailun may be more difficult, but snooker also has high requirements for controlling the white-ball line, such as solving the ball and defending.
Of course, clearing the ball may be a little simpler. If you are defending, you need to defend the white ball to an accurate position on the table after hitting the red ball, so as not to leave an opportunity for the opponent to easily get started. Besides, Snooker ball
The table is larger and the defense is more difficult.
However, Snooker's competition is not just about the control of the white ball line, so overall speaking, Snooker is still more difficult.
This description may be easier to understand. If Kailun is compared to a certain subject in the graduate entrance examination, then Snooker includes all subjects.
No matter how good Kailun's score in a single subject is, if he fails to pass the single subject line in other subjects, it still cannot be counted as passing the exam.
Therefore, no matter how good you are at Kailun, it may not be good at playing Snooker. But for players who are skilled at playing Snooker, Kailun may be easier.
After understanding this, Li Mengyao once again threw herself into the game between the two. She would take care of other tables from time to time, but would eventually come back to follow the duel between the two good friends.
Although there were only 3 balls on the table, the two of them played with great interest and were much more focused than before.
Although the difficulty has been reduced compared to the standard rules, it is still difficult to play Kailun continuously.
After playing for half an hour, Zhao Shiyan got 20 strokes, while Ling Zhi only got 25 strokes.
The two of them had a great time playing, but the only drawback was that the pocket of the nine-ball table was too big, and the ball would often fall into the pocket while playing. Both of them couldn't laugh or cry, and they usually scored every time they wanted to.
No, I didn’t want to score goals today but I scored like crazy.
But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, there are very few Kailun tables in China, so we have to make do with the nine-ball table.
And just when they were getting into the fight, a familiar voice broke in:
"You guys changed to nine-ball today? Huh? No, why are there only numbers 1 and 9 on the table? You have already scored the other balls?"
Ling Zhi turned around and saw that it was Wang Siheng whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Ever since they went to coach Xingchen's home to practice football, Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan rarely came here, and naturally they rarely saw Chen Lizhong and Wang Siheng.
"Oh, we are not playing nine-ball, we are playing Kailun. Have you heard of it?"
"Kailun, I've heard of it before, but I've never fought before. How about you join me and play for a while?"
"No, just wait a moment. What about Zizhong? Don't you usually come here to play ball with him?"
"Oh, him."
Wang Siheng put away his habitual casual look and turned to doubtful words:
"He was still there at the beginning, and I played well with him. But half an hour ago, for some reason, he suddenly packed up his clubs and left. It was inexplicable."
